The National - The Rains of Castamere (for HBO’s Game of Thrones)

HBO is currently doing amazing things for music and cinematography. Last night’s Game of Thrones episode was a thunderous, emotional falcon punch. This song was the perfect, haunting, punctuation.

And who are you, the proud lord said,

that I must bow so low?

Only a cat of a different coat,

that’s all the truth I know.

In a coat of gold or a coat of red,

a lion still has claws,

And mine are long and sharp, my lord,

as long and sharp as yours.

And so he spoke, and so he spoke,

that lord of Castamere,

But now the rains weep o’er his hall,

with no one there to hear.

Yes now the rains weep o’er his hall,

and not a soul to hear

FUUUUUUUUU— I want Game of Thrones to be my real life. But I’d probably wind up in the Night’s watch and dead.

OH MAN, I’ve been soooo lazy about updating this thing. I’ve had so many adventures, guys. Most, if not all in Seattle proper. There were barbecues, and lots of whiskey, and girls, and new friends, and then hitting on those new friends’ girls, and inevitably, me attempting to piece together the nights freshly laid to rest. And it’s been great.

But, I’ve realized I need to meet my partner in crime.

Maybe I haven’t really recently realized it. Maybe I’ve just put it to rest for awhile, on that proverbial backburner. I’ve met a few that could have been, but they weren’t for me. I’ve not met “the one”.

I don’t lead a very complicated life. For the most part, it’s a very solid and fun life. I’ve friends, and even closer friends that I adore and love to spend time with. They provide for me so many emotional comforts that I appreciate immensely, but, I really would just like someone to share my life with. I need that girl that’s willing to consume life with me at this breakneck pace that I’ve become accustomed to.

OKAYCUPID, HERE WE COME.

Right?

Naw.

Definitely not.

Maybe.

NEVARRRRR!!!!!
