Short; sweet.
Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music-the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.

Waking In A Winter Wonderland
If only I knew how old the house I currently reside in REALLY is before I signed the lease, I may have had more questions about its previous winter conditions.
THIS is the condition of our sink/countertop.
Not that it's ever clean or anything, but in this particular moment in time the dishes cannot be cleaned.
Due to our ancient plumbing, our pipes have frozen, leaving us waterless.
Option #1:
An over-sized redbull placed strategically under the heating vents in hopes we can produce enough water to flush the toilet with.
Though environmental-friendly, this energy capsule is a cooler. Cooler=slow.
Option #2:
Store bought.
Handy, cheap, but something mother earth doesn't deserve.
Our best/most efficient option-Friends.
The best people to have around.
Thank you to all I've bugged for a washer, shower, or lovely conversation.
Here's a diagram I've drawn on a paper plate:
It portrays how our heating system works.
As you can see, we have a big empty space under our house which holds a lot of cold air.
This is also where the water pipes are located. What an intelligent design..
Our heating vents are located on our ceiling, as far away from our bodies as they can be.
In order to enjoy the comfort of central heating, one must be completely vertical and will only be warm from the chest up (location may vary with height).
If you are on the couch, you will feel no heat whatsoever, for the cold air rising and the warm air descending meet in the middle of the room creating a scientific phenomenon.
So dearest friends,
Remember that you're not alone in these cold times, and when winter does end we will truly see that the sun is always brighter.
May you have a lovely winter,
Stay warm,
and bundle up.
With love, driving to the gas station to poop,

Plane now boarding for 2010, please leave all baggage behind
How blessed are we that we get to see ANOTHER new year!?
Kisses and cake for everyone!
As we explore the endless possibilities for this new year let's take our vows,
and may we keep focus on what is truly important to us.
Let it not be money or pride, regret or hatred.
Let this year be filled with equality and joy, forgiveness and acceptance.
We're all in this together, to help our brothers and sisters off the ground.
I hope you'll strive for joy in each and ever conversation you have, and take every opportunity you're handed as a new blessing.
This year WILL be a start of new and beautiful things!
Enlightenment.
Peace.
Faith.
New communication.
Less time on the phone, and more time in person.
I thought I'd share with you a piece of 2009 with you via video.
...call it an INNERview if you will.. :D
Thank you for your support and for sharing your love with me and your friends.
May all your wishes and resolutions be kept and come true this year.
We hope you enjoy your stay here in 2010, thank you for choosing the new and improved planet Earth :)
In Joy Your Day,

The first track of my new cd starts with this:
"Today's the day that I will make a conversion
Feels like the perfect time to push out a smile"
There's absolutely nothing better than that moment when you're finally comfortable in your own skin.
When tomorrow doesn't matter, and when the things you've done have passed and been accepted.
You can't help but to sit back, relax, and put on your favorite song.
Learn to make yourself so happy, you want to cry.
That first step is to let love in.
Another 5 am blog gives me just this.
I see the sun stretching toward the treeline, and it's more than happy to see me this morning.
The feeling is mutual.
The birds sing in the morning because they can't be more excited for the new day. They're so happy that they can fly to the furthest reaches of the sky, and watch over all the earth. They are guardian angels.
I see it this morning as one sings outside my window. She is beautiful, perfect in design.
Some would say that I don't have a lot of money. I don't have an incredibly fancy car, or a killer job. I'm unlucky in love, not the coolest kid on the block, and am not famous by any means.
But to me, it's different. I have enough money to support my body with the nourishment it needs. I have enough money to be generous enough to others at any given moment; whether it be a tip at a restaurant, or just helping out another. I have enough money to provide some sort of shelter from the weather. To me, I'm the richest there could be. I went to high school with a couple of musicians who are now rich and famous, touring the U.S. I also went to high school with another girl who spends her time painting. She's not big and famous, she's not rich, but she couldn't ask for more. She's the happiest girl I know, because she's in love with life.
The fact that I can get in a machine and transport myself across the country in a matter of days gives me extraordinary super powers.
I'm not in a codependent relationship. But I know what love feels like, and even if I never find love again, and thankful to have experienced it at all.
I guess what I'm saying is there's so much more to the little things than we could ever know.
So as you wake this morning, tomorrow morning, or any morning for that matter, lets do this together.
Lets stretch, breathe in the best breath you've ever taken, and smile.
Today, you're a millionaire.
Today you have wings.
Today you can bring out the best in someone else.
Today you can let the little things go.
Today you can know that someone cares about you.
Because I'm so happy you're here today. You might not see it, but so many people around you are too. Make a plan to let others know the same today. Let them know you care they're here.
Be you.
Be free!!!
Whatever you hold in your mind will tend to occur in your life. If you continue to believe as you have always believed, you will continue to act as you have always acted. If you continue to act as you have always acted, you will continue to get what you have always gotten. If you want different results in your life or your work, all you have to do is change your mind.
What would you do if you couldn't fail?
Because I've got news-you can't =)

I thank you sadness, you bring out the best in me
This is what I look like at 5am.
I'm on top of the world this morning!
Not because of any advantage other than the sunrise waking me to share its beauty.
I was blessed with the feeling of sadness last night.
To be the 3rd wheel on a date and see the joy between two other people is wonderful, but a feeling I miss oh so much.
I do miss the kind of love a couple share.
But I acknowledge that any previous feelings I've had of the matter no longer exist. I must create new feelings, and new experiences.
I suppose time will find me when it must.
I surrendered my heart to the night last night and fell into the sunrise with a magic so extravagant.
Just to awake with the feeling of most significance and wonder, for I've lived another day, and I'm here.
Today.
Given the chances of being born and able to live here on earth, I was one of the chosen to
live how I want to, freely.
Everything around me is perfect.
I may be unlucky in love, but I'm most fortunate in individuality, and I love the fact that I'm here this morning is perfect.
My friends, today is July 10th, 2009. This day will never ever ever come again. Make today YOUR day. Be crazy!
Do something wonderful!
You are here.

This is what I look like today, and I'm trying not to pull out my hair
My body deceives me on a daily basis.
I'll most likely go blind by the age of 25, due to the morning routine of rubbing my eyes.
Allergies.
Turns out I'm allergic to procrastination.
And I think its the best thing thats ever happened to me.
I know just when to make a change.
The most recent act of spontaneity was the decision to take the drive to KC and see the ever so talented Conor Oberst & his Mystic Valley Band. I took the drive shirtless; I thought I'd work on my driver's tan. The woman taking the $5 for parking agreed, it was coming along quiiiiiite well.
I talked to Michael Runion last night (the opening act for Conor Oberst) and was glad to hear his advice about what needs to be done on my part in order to pursuit a career in music. His advice put me one step closer to "getting out and doing it." His words were "Man when I started I was living in a little town in northeastern California, and I just had to move to LA where the venues were. I met the guys from the Mystic Valley Band and jumped on the tour. For sure, Andy, go out there and get shit done."
That was the first day of my life.
Too bad the new one comes with the same allergies.
The drive home from KC this morning was a sweaty one.
Another drivers tan.
Cold War Kids keeping the rhythm of the road.
Another bottle full of hot water in the passenger seat.
Another stuffy nose conquered by the 2001 Taurus sweatbox.
There's nothing that the road cannot heal.
As I told twitter on my way north
"Windows down, driving 85 listening to white stripe's Icky Thump, wearing no shirt. Sometimes it feels damn good being trashy."
I am from space.
