Late Night Card Writing
= new inspiration, band of horses, back hurt.
I am feeling more and more neutral.
Is it backwards to ask: IS this what you'd call not writing each other off?
All is well.. sleepyhead time.

Sound Healing
Ah. Just got back into LA from DC. Ursula's 23rd birthday was spent with lots of laughs, love, chop't, pushing, sleeping, drinking, and learning. It's been a very long time since I have posted anything here... I seem to always fall into these dry spells. Lack of creativity, lack of inspiration, lack of heart? I wouldn't rule those reasons out. It has been a WHIRLWIND of a summer. We lost our King of Pop Michael Jackson, our poster child of the 70's Miss Farrah Fawcett (on the same day- June 25th!), and as of August 28, 2009 we lost the beloved "Michael Jordan of living" Adam Michael Goldstein pfa DJAM.
This summer has seen surely seen it's darker days- notably my car accident July 16. That one really threw me out there, further than I think I consciously am able to comprehend. However it was very well cured in the following days of July and most of August. Amidst the changes being faced due to the loss of my first bought car, my parents decided they were going to sell our home and move across the country. Still, I was pretty well captivated by the delights of summer adventures. I was happy. Not sure what happened exactly- I guess it's not really too important. I've realized so much, and it feels good to be humbled back into myself. I think I've lost some ground through all these changes and what I thought was something special. I have so many life lessons to learn- and there's never a dull moment. My heart and body have made it thus far, what other option do I have than to continue being me?.. I have a lot of heart, meaning, and depth- I am good to the people I love, I work hard, and my actions are strong. Life is too short, you've either gotta go big or go home.
So approaching new beginnings, my parents have sold our home- and are moving to Missouri so that my mom can fulfill her desire to complete her education. My stepdad, sister, Kevin, Godiva and Boo (who is the newest addition to our family!) will all be departing LA sometime in October/November. As for me, I have fully moved over to the West Side, with my best friend, which is literally a dream come true. I suppose to sum up my documentation of the summer, it has more or less forced me to see with new eyes. It's been interesting, and maybe a little rough for a second... but all in all I believe I've been in the right place in order to grow and move forward on my life's path. I'll part on the note of positivity by saying I am excited for yet another chapter. I think I'm moving into a time of calm, equanimity, and peace. I will take it.

Today
Today is the greatest
Day I ve ever kown
Cant live for tomorrow
Tomorrows much too long
I burn my eyes out
Before I get out
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant
Bored by the chore
Of saving face
Today is the greatest
Day I have ever known
Cant wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
Ill tear my heart out
Before I get out
Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
Ive tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings
Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day
That I have ever known
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you round
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you
Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever known
The universe is saying something to me, and I can't see quite clearly through the frustrated confusion--but more than that I can't feel anything past the butterflies. I can't utter a bad note through a smile, I can't even gear towards the negative when I feel like my heart is lightened. Hopeful, imaginative, graced. I cannot marginalize my feelings with rationality, or sum it up, it's undeniably been swirling on for longer than you or I could possibly comprehend. I think that when you allow yourself the dignity of trusting your insides that's when the little things all seem to make sense. I'm so empowered and happiness doesn't do justice to this consciousness.. I plan on continuing to listen, absolutely.

Adventures of Little Bo Peep and Yours Truly
Great week, great weekend. Friday stayed in and re-read Night by Elie Weisel (such an IMPORTANT and powerful book), Saturday celebrated Tahlia's 22nd birthday with a super special guest (Mr. Dan Dempsey aka highschool sweeeeetheart), and Sunday Whaler's in Venice, Obrien's for beers, random detour through SM for photo op., dinner with the familia... pretty well rounded, I'd say... my mom even told me that I am a "piece of work" (haha)! I also found out that when I was three I had a beloved pet cat (which I think I somewhat remember ?) and I saw it run into the street and get hit, then filled with sorrow turned and said, "But I won't have a kitty anymore...."
Uhhhm, anyway my dear lovelies Ursula and Tahlia are leaving me for Europe in a week.. which is shitty for two reasons, A. I will not be able to enjoy their company and B. I was really hoping to go........, but work requires my presence in LA. So I will survive and when they get back, COACHELLAAA ---- and we are possibly going to drive up in Ursula's grandmas van !! Party van ? We may even be needing it in lieu of a hotel room. Our current plan is to just get down there and figure it out, three fun girls... I'm thinking it's not gonna be super tough to conjure some accommodations. I am so excited for this trip: pool parties, camping, three days of MUSIC, bikinis, the desert, drinks, laughs, cuute boooys... and who knows what other fun randomness we will get ourselves into. MSTRKRFT's performance is supposed to be suuuuper special.. Can't wait to hear more on this.
Alright so that's my weekend, it's all in all been a wonderful week ! Life has been so pleasant lately, super busy (which I prefer), but everything just seems to be in place. Here's some photos for my fellow clairvoyant communicators:
