The Name

It's actually kinda cool how I came up with the name of this blog....not that I'm writing to anybody, but i'm going to type this anyway. This whole thing is so silly because i intend for no one to see it. But i mean, notes on facebook get a little annoying after a while and you can only put so much every so often, and it has to be censored.
and typing out on word everything i want to say just seems lame...so this was my alternative.

ANYWHO. back to the name.

So, I was reading this interview by my two favorite singer/songwriters in the whole world. These boys are beautiful in everything they do. from the music they make to the way they conduct their lives, they are just beautiful. passionate in all areas of life. both of them could be argues as alcoholics and one of them definitley is an addict. his last album to come out was all about his addictions to numerous drugs and how he was trying to cut it out (it was brilliant by the way). but yea, so the guys were talking about their hopes for one of the guys new records (bare with me...im not using names because i have this fantasy that one day both musicians will read this...crazy, i know.) and they asked the interviewer what his hopes for the record were. he wanted it to be good. and the addict looks as him in all honesty and fullness and says "that's a good and basic hope" (hence the URL). and i just thought that that was the most beautiful thing i have ever heard. and i love it.

i love the addict. and the alcoholic. and their fullness. they still live. and they love. and they struggle. and they pain. and they share.

and they are loved. and they break mold after mold without even realizing how incredible they are. they are the truest forms of humble in my opinion (talking about that basic genre of people now...not just those two guys, although i would consider them the epitome of this genre).

anyways, so there ya go.
conversations of passionate addict with good and basic hope.

i love it. love love love it.

oh ya! and the name Libby-not my real name. I didn't want to put my real name (although i absolutley ADORE my real name).
but i wanted something different that meant something. and i don't really like the name Libby actually. I do like the words liberal and liberation. and i like associating myself with people that are liberated and are liberal. don't get me wrong, throw me a conservative every now and then so i can keep a brain in my head, but i really can't deny any longer the fact that i believe more liberalistic beliefs...i just do. take me or leave me. and i love the feeling of liberating myself from this world. from this corrupted fucked up world. and i love other people that are like this. and i love other people that aren't.

but yea, Libby is in essence short for liberated and liberal.
not my favorite name but i like the thought behind it...
