I posted this on Instagram: From our first day to our last day and some of the stops in between. 2 strangers who decided to merge their Aussie Adventure into one for a while and make dreams a reality. I’ll miss morning coffee and walking behind you so I can stare at your butt 😜. I leave you with this Tanguy, “May the long time … Continue reading A Letter to Tanguy
I saw these words “ALL THINGS POSSIBLE” on a banner in Portland, Maine and it was as if the Universe was letting me know that it was with me. I was in town for a 3-day weekend to see one my greatest friends get married to his love. (Go #TeamOBerkowitz) It was also a reunion of chosen family as well, aka The Gin Mill family. … Continue reading All Things Possible
I have a “Goliath” that is physically, mentally, and emotionally making me sick. It has put more fear in me than it should have. I have realized how much mental, emotional, and physical energy I HAVE ALLOWED myself to put into this fear and how much it has flatlined my soul. It made me realize that I have still been doing the “Dead Living” I wrote about last month. … Continue reading Vital Signs
“I can’t take it. It’s just a paycheck. I can’t fake it, when nothing’s sacred. It just started. I can’t take one more day. I can’t bend, this must end, counting back from 3, 2, 1…” ~”Dead Living” by Sugarcult They say “we are born to die”. We are not Benjamin Button. Most of us get up, go to work, do what we need to do to survive … Continue reading Dead Living
“I think it’s time to check the crab trap of life once more.” ~ Jimmy Buffett
We all fall into place in our lives…a place of compliance, a place of fear, a place of inspiration, etc. I’ve had this feeling of falling into a place with people I know. A place where I have realized I have outgrown some and some where I am ready to let go because the fight isn’t going to be worth the end result. As they say friends come into our lives for a reason, season, blah, blah, blah. Some wax poetic about friendships, I call it weeding my garden of friends. Some flowers become weeds. Some weeds become flowers, but sometimes, as inspired by the Jimmy Buffett lyric, “I think it’s time to check the crab trap of life once more” one needs to just check the crab trap and make sure the ones in the trap belong.
When I saw the quote to the below, I thought, damn right.
We all know that one (or several people) who are just GIANT DOUCHE NOZZLES and you refrain from calling them out or you’re just nice because your mama and daddy raised you to treat people with respect and kindness no matter what. Continue reading “Own Everything That Happened”
First, EP review of STOKESWOOD “2075” coming this weekend.
Now that I’ve got that out of the way, after a pretty shit-tastic day…well, it was a good day, until like the last 30 minutes of work. I should say, I’m getting use to the shittiness, but I have this fucked up and sadistic twist of hope that people aren’t really crap-tastic as they appear to be. Continue reading “Forget Where You Come From, Learn to Live”
I’ve always been a big fan of the music by Lostprophets and this song has been one of the most played in the month of June.
There’s nothing better than singing as loud as you can “…Screaming, Andy, you’re a Goonie. Don’t you wake me up, I don’t want this dream to end…Don’t wanna wait or leave it up to fate…But believe me, I know it will always be moving…” Continue reading “Andy, You Goonie”
“Absorb what is useful. Reject what is useless.” ~ Bruce Lee This quote by Bruce Lee has stuck with me. The moment I read it, I started this post and then lost the thought and perhaps the meaning behind the quote shortly after. Now, several months later, going through drafts of posts, I landed on this post again. Why didn’t I ever finish writing it? … Continue reading Absorb What is UsefulReject What is Useless
“Following your joy, finding what it is when you lose your track of time and trying to direct your life so you can do that as much as possible you’ll start enjoying life a lot more and you’ll find that things will fall into place. That’s the secret to happiness and finding who you are, is following your natural instincts of what makes you happy.” Continue reading FOLLOWING YOUR JOY
