Quote I Love: Numb by Linkin Park

Here’s this week’s quote I love…

Sometimes when I’m writing I listen to music. Occasionally a song will remind me of a character I’m writing about. Then whenever I hear that song, I’m right back into the story, into the character’s head. I find myself listening to it over and over.

I’ve found several songs that really hit home when it came to my book More.

“Numb” by Linkin Park fits Luke in so many ways. Since More is releasing next week, I thought it was the perfect time to post some of the song’s lyrics for my quote of the week. There’s also a video below if you want to listen.

“I’m tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I don’t know what you’re expecting of me
Put under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes


Every step that I take is another mistake to you


All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

Can’t you see that you’re smothering me
Holding too tightly
Afraid to lose control
‘Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you

-Numb by Linkin Park

Hope you have a great day! Cheers,

Video I Love: Montage of Gay Movies

Once a week, I post a video I’m loving. Here’s this week’s…

Today’s video is a montage of gay movies set to “You Look So Fine” by Garbage. Some beautiful intimate moments (warning, there’s some skin).

I like sex scenes in movies where you can see so much more than the sex. When the emotions are visceral and raw, right there for us to see.

Films included are:

Ciao
Broken Hearts Club
Dog Tags
Patrick 1,5
Shock To The System
The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life Of Ethan Green
Third Man Out

Cheers,

Once a week, I post a video I’m loving. Here’s this week’s…

I saw this video last week thanks to Michael’s Gay Thought. Great song. I love the lyrics.

Have you been to jail for justice? I haven’t…yet.
Maybe it should go on my bucket list.

Video I Love: Dang, I still love hearing her voice

Once a week, I post a video I’m loving. Here’s this week’s…

Saw this on Geoffrey Knight’s blog and just had to share. It’s 10,000 Maniacs when they performed “Because The Night” on MTV Unplugged.

Natalie Merchant’s voice always moves me. Still does. There’s just something so sensual and sexy about it.  “Because the night belongs to lovers…” Enjoy!

Video I Love: Love this song!

Once a week, I post a video I’m loving. Here’s this week’s…

This video is a teaser for an online soap opera-style series called Venice. Venice follows the life of a gay female interior designer. I just started watching the show this weekend.

I love this song. Not sure why, but it puts me in a gushy, romantic mood every time I hear it.

Thanks for stopping by,
