1. last year around this time, i started to get into the avett brothers. i resonate deeply with their straight-forward, genuine yet un-corny lyrics. i was living in pasadena with tim and nikki haydock and we were all digging their jams. one such song, 'murder in the city', and, more specifically, one line in said tune has had pretty significant meaning to me. so much so, that my sister and i will be getting the lyric tattooed on to our mortal bodies within the next few months. the lyric goes as follows:
always remember
there was nothing worth sharing
like the love
that let us share our name
pretty poignant, right? especially if you have deep, honest, genuine relationships with the folks whose circle you were born into.
:digression.
the aforementioned friend tim haydock is facebook friends with his namesake, one timothy haydock, of stoke-upon-trent, staffordshire, united kingdom. while having never met in person, there has been consistent discussion/back-and-forth via the interwebs with the english mr. haydock and the entire haydock family of fresno, california.
end:digression.
last spring, california tim haydock put the previously mentioned lyric as his status update, and, understandably so. within minutes, who was the first person to 'like' this status? english timothy haydock. my mind was blown. they share their name. it was so literal. and so genius. love knows no bounds apparently when you share your name, whether you've met the person or not.
so, here's to funny stories and the things that people do and say that make life great.
