Note to self:

This is how I imagine myself

My worst nightmare

All-in-one card stamp

need to find this.

Here we are now going to the west side

The Awesome Tee

oh heyyyy, this shirt is awesome.

Fear

Ask me about one of my greatest fears.
I hate that there is one sitting on my shelf right now.

Annie Hall

I just finished watching one of my favorite movies.

It's such a classic, with so many great lines.

But this one always makes me smile:
"Sun is bad for you. Everything our parents said was good is bad. Sun, milk, red meat... college."

SNOW DAY!!

Today is my first snow day.

There is something really exhilarating about being snowed in and unable to go to work.
i've been watching the snow dance for the past eight hours and it hasn't stopped for a minute.
This is much more relaxing than hurricane season!
outside my front door
the roof above my porch doesnt do much
And there's the car under the 12" blanket of snow
i got these daffodils yesterday and they are really brightening up this snowy day.
hope everyone is staying warm.

Inside all of us...

Is a Wild Thing!

I just got chills watching this.
The trailer just brought back so many wonderful memories.
I used to love how my imagination would run wild every time my mom read this book to me.
Sometimes I would get scared and other times I felt brave.

Now I can't wait for Spike Jonze to bring us hope, fear, adventure and Wild Things!!

Help Im Alive

I've been listening to Metric's new song "Help I'm Alive" a lot lately.

And I can't help but start tapping my feet and drumming my fingers the louder it gets.
For a second, I can imagine myself on stage in front of a keyboard
pounding at the keys, shaking my head.
I can get lost in the idea that I was in a band in my past life.
I love the energy that rushes through my blood when I blast a song that puts me in a good mood.
"Help I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer"

If I could have anyone's stage performance, it would be Emily Haines.
Now I'm even more inspired to learn the guitar.
Here's to good vibes throughout the work week.
Happy Wednesday!

When I'm sad

When i'm sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead. True Story. - someone

Do not feed the animals

Yesterday I took a field trip to the Denver Zoo.
We saw lions...

And happy elephants...And bears...
And children fascinated by apes...
And my favorite of all...the giraffes!
The end!

Happy Friday & First day of Spring

Thinking of home

i miss this.

The Giving Tree

An animated short by Shel Silverstein. This will always be one of my favorite short stories.

It's not that i'm unmotivated

I'm just tired.
It's true. This is often how I feel at work.
But it's getting better.
Key: blast music loud and proud.

Liquor Cabinet

I love this idea of reusing an old suitcase or briefcase for a liquor cabinet

Encounter

In this lovely Spanish Coca-Cola spot, “Encounter”, a 102 year-old man is brought to meet a new-born baby boy. They’re not related, and have no reason to meet other than the connection of both being human. The old man’s face when he first sees the boy is touching. He then gives the new soul some sage advice that would normally be a bit obsequious, but seems so genuinely heart-felt and honestly-meant that I let myself go and went for the emotional ride of it. And you should too. Sometimes, it just feels good to feel good.

Words to remind yourself

something i'm learning to accept about myself.

In a Charmed Life, A Road Less Traveled

I thought this was beautiful and moving.
It's such an inspiring story about love, commitment and the human spirit if you have a moment to read.

Between the Bars

One of my favorite Elliot Smith covers by Metric.

The Dreamers

Matthew: I wanted you to say that you love me.
Theo: We just did, Matthew
Matthew: No, you said you love me 'too'. I don't want you to say that you love me 'too'. I want you to say that you...love me.

This is Life

I know, I know. Life is so disappointing. Here you are. You have arrived. You are here. This is your moment. What do you have? You have pain. You have everything. What do you have? You have nothing. Everything is right, or everything is wrong. It's disappointing, it's confusing. This is life. What can we do?

Do You Remember Me?

Today while we were walking down the promenade, a rather crazy-looking man came up to us and asked:
"Do you remember me??"
"No, sorry man"
"I'm the guy who was found dead on the beach 3 years ago. Only, I wasn't dead."

Who would have thought we would've run into THAT guy!

New Hair

I went back to Trim on Abbott Kinney and got my hair re-styled. :D
