There are things in life that trigger your memory or memories, to a certain time, a certain place, a certain feeling, etc. For me, there are certain songs that will remind me of certain people or moments. Movie quotes that will take me instantly back to a time and a place. Hearing words pronounced wrong like champagne to “cham-pag-na” or adding an extra higher to “Electric … Continue reading Like a Memory
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
This post is for Heather. She tweeted on Monday she needed “…a something to make me feel better. #sadtweet” You can see our conversation-> But I wanted to do something more for her than a few tweets and though it wasn’t immediately, I hope this brightens her day now and this might be the something to make her feel better. It’s a little late Heather, … Continue reading For Heather
In no particular order, here’s a list of things I’ve learned while exploring & exposing myself… As Ville Vallo of HIM says in a brilliant quote, “Music is my ‘God,’ my best friend.” Without music, I am sure I would not have survived being on this earth for so long. Music has also given me some of the best friendships I could ever ask for. … Continue reading Things I’ve Learned
Dear Ronnie, I am so happy Bruce & Kevin convinced me to come Uptown and I am so happy I crashed your birthday party years ago! I am writing you this post to share with the world because I cannot be in the same city or state with you on this wonderful day. Many, many, many years ago, I met a guy on a beach. … Continue reading A Birthday Message for Ronnie
This is a way overdue thank you. I didn’t get the chance to say thank you in person or even via the internet until today. Life said here go and kicked me out the door. No proper goodbyes, hugs, or shenanigans. So, though late…here is my huge and grateful thank you to the following: BeBop, The Gin Mill Family, Krissie, Annie & Brad, Gail, Heather, Nikki, and Ronnie I cannot thank … Continue reading A Delayed Thank You
If you’ve read anything I’ve posted before, you probably are aware of my belief of the Universe and the signs it gives you. I believe if you’re tuned into your surroundings and aware of what’s going outside of your own head, that the Universe gives you signs. Some are subtle, some are smack dab in front of you, but it’s up to you to read … Continue reading Touch
This song is dedicated to my friend and baby sistah from another mister, Cristina. She’s leaving & returning home to D.C. In the end, she knows she’ll be happy there. We’ve only known each other for a little while, but she will be a forever friend and I hope this song will always inspire her. “And then a friend said, Don’t stop doing what you believe … Continue reading 01.24.12 – Song of the Day: “Move By Yourself”
This is just a shout out to all the wonderful people I met on this journey. ECU on flight to Australia: Never really found out his name and only called him ECU from his shirt but he was Australian and talked to us about the flight, things to do, things not to do, and how to enjoy our time. Jay @ 34 Degrees in Bondi: … Continue reading Strangers to Friends in Australia
This post isn’t about actual sunshine, it’s about people in your life that bring it. I have one person, I call my personal ray of sunshine, Kevin F. His mere presence in a room lights up the room and his smile makes me smile. I don’t get to spend a lot of time with him but when I do, I leave feeling 110% better and … Continue reading Sunshine
