One Dream Down...

...a whole heap to go, but this one. Oh this one dream. I've dreamt since I was 10 years old. To be in a band. And now I am. An all-girls, 80's cover band.
Incredible. I play keyboard.

Happiness



Happiness is an obsession of mine. When I was a child I knew that I was experiencing the best years of my life. Naturally, from about 22 onward I have been obsessed with re achieving the zeal and zest for the life I had as a kid. Of course I've been trying too hard, and as a result have missed the mark in many ways. But, I have new hope.
I am 24 and I can feel a change coming. And it will start with a few amazing people who have amazing projects:
The Happiness Project
Mighty Girl
Books I Done Read

For some time I've been looking for a reliable source that will tell me what books to feel amazing. This girl who writes the blog booksidoneread is a god send. She will be my source for reading material for the next however-long, and introduced me to the happiness project, which I will now recommend to every friend. I have not read the book yet, but i have read the blog and I will keep doing so and incorporating those things into my life. I do believe that being happy spreads happiness. You know it's true. Let me start affirming that by rejecting the most bothersome myth: You have to be miserable to be a great artist. It's complete horse and bull shit! You know it's true. In any case I'm starting to think that wanting to sacrifice your well-being just so you can make something "great" is quite selfish. When I look around at the people I truly admire, they are the happy ones. The smilers, the laughers, the brave, the crazy-in-a-good-way. So, go visit the happiness project if you are looking for such a thing and get to work! One way to do so is to make a life list as miss mighty girl has done. I like her sassiness.

Get on with it kids! Let's go make each other proud.

Puppies and other things...


Random pillow fights with many strangers, while watching the bats come out for the night under the South Congress bridge.

Free Love


Our neighbors put a bunch of hearts in the hall for people to have for free. How wonderful! All shapes and sizes. Yesterday there was yellow. The day before was blue.
