Dig by Incubus

This is such a great song and I'm really digging it these days so I thought I'd share it. Also, I found this website that had both the lyrics and the video. Super-cool.

Dig-Incubus
We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy to identify.
Look me in the eye
And ask for forgiveness;
we'll make a pact to never speak that word again.
Yes, you are my friend.
We all have something that digs at us,
at least we dig each other.

So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday.
If I turn into another dig me up from under
what is covering the better part of me.
Sing this song
remind me that we'll always have each other
when everything else is gone.

We all have a sickness
that cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try.
We all have someone that digs at us,
at least we dig each other.

So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine.
If I turn into another dig me up
from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we'll always have each other
when everything else is gone.
Oh! each other when everything else is gone

Amazing Blog Post about Race and Whiteness

I just really thought this was an amazing post about the idea of "whiteness" as a construct of absence and how this affects the thought process of people of color and mixed people of color. I guess this just really feeds my current interest into minority studies.
