&lt;p&gt;Wow. I can’t believe I haven’t heard this sooner. If you don’t have “Baby there’s no harm, no harm…” stuck in your head today, you’ve got a problem. However - a song this epic, slow, thick, and powerful - is hopefully enough to cure whatever ails you.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://lightningbeforeeverything.com/post/23914656981</link><guid>http://lightningbeforeeverything.com/post/23914656981</guid><pubDate>Mon, 28 May 2012 00:40:00 -0500</pubDate><category>song of evening</category><category>sunday</category><category>monday</category><category>memorial day</category><category>The Boxer Rebellion</category><category>No Harm</category><category>The Cold Still</category><category>music</category><category>good music</category><category>indie</category><category>baby there's no harm</category><category>what ails you</category><category>R.I.P</category></item><item><title>Six degrees of separation from random encounters (Taken with...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4i1nfiujl1qesgf2o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Six degrees of separation from random encounters (Taken with &lt;a href="http://instagr.am" target="_blank"&gt;instagram&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://lightningbeforeeverything.com/post/23637137740</link><guid>http://lightningbeforeeverything.com/post/23637137740</guid><pubDate>Wed, 23 May 2012 18:38:03 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>The Simply Random Guy</title><description>&lt;p&gt;at the intersection of interjecting points of blurry temporary interest through many passing beautiful eyes.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://lightningbeforeeverything.com/post/23329528263</link><guid>http://lightningbeforeeverything.com/post/23329528263</guid><pubDate>Fri, 18 May 2012 22:20:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>First Loops North South North Again</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, you have to be at your most sick to feel truly alive&lt;br/&gt;
Sleep deprived, running on coffee and indecision&lt;br/&gt;
A bad decision made twice, sometimes weeks, months, years apart&lt;br/&gt;
Waking up to an ancient empty voice cutting you down&lt;br/&gt;
It’s strange how quickly that can suck the joy out of your discovery&lt;br/&gt;
Of whatever&lt;br/&gt;
Only to be brightened by a stranger&lt;br/&gt;
And the promise of nothing other than hope&lt;br/&gt;
As you drive down these same roads twice in 24 hours&lt;br/&gt;
If you take that hope for granted, you can push too far&lt;br/&gt;
Wander too much&lt;br/&gt;
For the sake of new experiences&lt;br/&gt;
And when you get those new experiences&lt;br/&gt;
Don’t forget you’ve already been here before&lt;br/&gt;
Sometimes, you have to visit false hope twice&lt;br/&gt;
And that kindness can sometimes be weak&lt;br/&gt;
Kindness can sometimes be worse than the truth&lt;br/&gt;
And kindness can overrule your values&lt;br/&gt;
And border on nefarious innocence&lt;br/&gt;
Giving another human being hope&lt;br/&gt;
Yet this scenario has none, because two-sided luck was pushed&lt;br/&gt;
Like boundaries broken with assorted beer bottles&lt;br/&gt;
As you awkwardly sneak out like the things you said you’d never become&lt;br/&gt;
You realize a mild sinking of nothingness&lt;br/&gt;
The kind that tenses up your jaw and climbs your throat raw with bile&lt;br/&gt;
You realize&lt;br/&gt;
Nothing defines you, me, anyone&lt;br/&gt;
Not your job, your ex, your friends, your hobbies, your outlook on life&lt;br/&gt;
Where you live, the possessions you surround yourself with while&lt;br/&gt;
Nothing overrules the fact that&lt;br/&gt;
We are animals. Human, yet animals&lt;br/&gt;
Things don’t change, we don’t chance it, change, we are what we are&lt;br/&gt;
Different colored bags of flesh and bones&lt;br/&gt;
Living with free will and free thought&lt;br/&gt;
Yet still confined by our vices, shortcomings, hopefulness&lt;br/&gt;
There comes a point where you need to stop searching&lt;br/&gt;
Because you’ve already found it.&lt;br/&gt;
Whatever it is, I guarantee&lt;br/&gt;
You’ve already found it.&lt;br/&gt;
Yet if you search for those simple pleasures you once enjoyed, you’ll search till you’re old, worn out and tired, used, spit up by the other wolves before you could realize you were a wolf yourself. You tell yourself this again, hope you remember it in whatever capacity of meaning it conveys to you and the world surrounding you. Shower, then sleep somewhere new, to offset sleeping somewhere new. So you can get back to the old, the familiar, the mundane. Back to the life you’ll one day be able to summarize in one well written sentence you hope is remembered and revered forever.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://lightningbeforeeverything.com/post/23280122528</link><guid>http://lightningbeforeeverything.com/post/23280122528</guid><pubDate>Fri, 18 May 2012 01:52:11 -0500</pubDate><category>jeff bobula</category><category>writing</category><category>thoughts</category><category>poetry</category></item><item><title>f you ever want to feel high without being high, listen to this....</title><description>&lt;iframe src="https://embed.spotify.com/?uri=spotify:track:6XK3WnoU6grqxGaE0ndlp0&amp;view=coverart" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" style="width:500px;height:580px;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;f you ever want to feel high without being high, listen to this.

Plus they are broken up. And from Canada! Instant cult status for awesome unattainability. No? It’s okay, leave them all for me. We’ll be busy, howlin’ at the moon, whiskey spittle hitting the ground as we go get full-time jobs and fall in love and become real men.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://lightningbeforeeverything.com/post/22104705427</link><guid>http://lightningbeforeeverything.com/post/22104705427</guid><pubDate>Sun, 29 Apr 2012 23:04:00 -0500</pubDate><category>Constantines</category><category>song of evening</category><category>U2</category><category>Hot Water Music</category><category>Bowie</category><category>Springsteen</category><category>Canada</category><category>whiskey</category><category>i'm not dead</category><category>jeff bobula</category><category>feist</category><category>Broken Social Scene</category></item><item><title>Still one of the best places on earth.
