the circle married the line

i feel the need, the need for speed

nobody knows you when you're down and out

the devil's all you ever had

satan said dance

...and you'll find somebody you can blame

you are no longer a river to me

i propose that we go to the floor and we slow dance

you and the night and the music

happiness hit her like a bullet in the back

let's sway while color lights up your face

ay mi nina, que lindo es tener de tu amor

'that's the end of the joke'

Sometimes I pretend I'm being directed by John Hughes.

Back in the day when VHS was still common and I was still anticipating my first kiss, I used to spend my nights watching Benny and Joon. I was so in love with the movie. I was fascinated (still am) with Quinn (played by Johnny Depp). It was the first time I fell for a fictional character, fell for the figment of someone else's imagination. There was something about Quinn's spirit and soul, his immunity to his own inhibitions, his imagination, and well his style of course. I had no idea what it meant to be whimsical before him. He had me as soon as I pressed that play button. 

He had me then and he still has me now. I hadn't seen the movie in so long since I no longer had access to a VHS player, so I ordered the DVD online. It arrived a few days ago, and already I've seen it several times. And thus, the resurrection of my obsession. The movie inspired today's outfit, and the photo shoot. Oh and another reason the movie is great...The Proclaimers' song I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles). No surprise there, classic movie equals classic song.
