Death Cab for Cutie - A Lack of Color

      Its interesting how switching an ipod to shuffle can instantly take you to a place you have not been for a very long time.

      Since Sunday evening, I have been listening to Death Cab for Cutie.  It came on randomly while I was driving to meet with some friends after church.  The tittle of the track that came on was Blacking Out The Friction, off of The Photo Album. In that moment, I was immediately taken back by how far I have come, ironically. 

      This specific song I've chosen to post is not of any great significance. It just suites my mood this afternoon as I sit here and study, in between spontaneous bursts of nostalgia. Lack of Color is off of the Tansatlanticism album.

      It's a good feeling, getting excited by both the future and the past all at once. I wonder if there is a word that fits that definition. A friend of mine calls it optimism... I think it's a little mix of that and something else. Either way, I am happy to be alive.
