coldplay

I went to trivia at Chief Ike's last night. I don't think I've been to bar trivia since I left Atlanta, and I was a regular there for a while. It was fun to be back at it. I came through at the end to get the last 2 questions for our team and brought us squarely into 7th place. Not bad. The last question was, I have to admit, a solid guess for me. It went something like this: "A recent poll from the british Tastebud.fm found fans of which band the least likely to have sex on the first date?". I immediately thought Coldplay. We laughed, but the more we thought about it, the more it sounded plausible, so my team backed me and that's what we answered. It was correct!

Not only have I been listening to a few early Coldplay songs that really speak to me, but I feel that my heart has been in coldplay as of late. Sometimes not feeling, sometimes feeling but very hesitantly, and a few times fully plunging into the depths of my emotions. But mostly I've felt cold as of late. A few things this weekend scared me and I found myself retreating to safety. I make the judgement that I'm not ready to deal with what has come along, and whether that's a correct assumption or not, I go with it. Instead of being open, my heart has a shell. Safety isn't always my m.o., but right now it feels like the best option. So here's fair warning to all those out there who might try engaging it, my heart is really only open to coldplay right now.
