Music

Aural Autumn (Finale) – Fast Car, by Tracy Chapman

December 20, 2018 / rmcalzada / Leave a comment

Sometimes you just have to let the music speak for itself. https://youtu.be/AIOAlaACuv4 To those following my blog through its many highs and lows, I appreciate you so very deeply. May your music and prose carry you up and onward into a new year, one full of growth, hope, and resiliency. Peace.

Aural Autumn: Love it if We Made It, by The 1975

December 6, 2018 / rmcalzada / Leave a comment

I'd love it if we made it. There's no other way to say this: tonight's song will speak volumes to everyone. From the moment I heard it on the radio two days ago, I was floored -- and I don't want to get up yet. The 1975 is a one-man band that I hadn't really … Continue reading Aural Autumn: Love it if We Made It, by The 1975

Hope

My writing thoughts have been warm, ephemeral, and oh so poignant. How else can … Continue reading These Late Hours…Believe

An Open Diary

November 21, 2012August 11, 2015 / rmcalzada / Leave a comment

Passionate intensity, It's a complicated fusion. We are catapulted toward death. The mystique I adore is the beating heart of those who share my life. This is their legacy, in obscene glances, laced in silver. I like writing. I do this to amuse myself. It's my life and I only get one go round. This … Continue reading An Open Diary

Koi No Yokan

November 15, 2012January 5, 2018 / rmcalzada / Leave a comment

Note to self: Do not listen to Deftones' newest album at the public library for the first time. Not unless you want to imagine yourself tossing books and toppling shelves one minute, and then almost bawling your eyes out in front of unaware patrons the next. When I found the package in my mail this … Continue reading Koi No Yokan
