well, well, well

I hate to say it but, this summer has become quite boring. The only time I really enjoy myself lately is at a good show or shopping. And i've only been to the beach twice. Hmmm.. what happened? Is it August yet? I need to be back in the city, Bucks County sucks the life out of me. At least I have All Good, the new apartment, & Miami to look forward too. But I'm needing that extra something. I know what I want, now i just need to figure out how to get it.

evolving summer

I am in love with this look book for LF Stores and had to share,

Check out more here.

where is my mind?

So, after a mistake I made this past Monday night i found myself feeling a mix of unsettling emotions. This mistake was one I have repeatedly made over the past year and usually have found myself blaming myself only, or feeling full or regret afterwards. This time was different though. Without going into detail, I was not happy at all on Tuesday. Despite this, I found myself realizing that this was not all my doings and that mistakes like these are a part of life and with all the great things going on in my life I have no time to waste with regret. In other words.. shit happens. Life does not come with a rewind button. No longer am i going to over analyze this on-going mess. I will never understand you completely and I really don't care to try and figure it all out anymore. From now on it's all about that positive thinking.

On with the good stuff. Thursday night I went to Phish with Caitlin, Becca, Johnny and also met up with Tim and many other friends. It was one of the best nights of my summer so far to say the least. The parking lot was full of good people and good times and the set list was amazing.

Set One: David Bowie, Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan (I guessed this as opener, so close! One of my favorites for sure.), Water in the Sky, Ocelot, Uncle Pen, Boogie on Reggae Woman, Gumbo, Timber (Jerry), I Didn't Know, Birds of a Feather, Bouncing Around the Room, Reba, The Rover (Led Zeppelin cover- first time played)

Set Two: Down with the Disease, Crosseyed and Painless, Nothing, Twenty Years Later, Harry Hood, Fluffhead, Julius, You Enjoy Myself.

Encore: Bug.

A mind-blowing show to say the least. By the end of second set I was dead. Most people were ready for round 2 on Friday but my little body could notttt handle it, ha ha. I personally think the setlist was better on Thursday anyways, besides maybe the full band Billy Jean and Thriller teases in honor of the late Michael Jackson. RIP MJ! I filled up two disposable cameras with pictures, so I'll be sure to post them soon so you can get a better idea of the fun we all had. Everyone must experience a Phish show at least once in their life!

Anyways, Friday was my day of recovery. As i lounged on my couch watching TV and movies I took a quick look into my email and was pleasantly surprised. I mentioned a couple entries back that I might have some good news coming soon and here it is- I am now officially part of the Red Bull Philly Wiiings Team. Scheduled to start on July 15th, I finally get to ditch my office job at Faulkner Cadillac (need I say more?). Although the pay has not been bad, sitting in this office makes my blood run cold! Such a boring, routine job and I am finally going to be FREE! So right now.. life is good. And with all this upcoming excitement in my life, I promise to quit neglecting this blog and post way more. Ciao Bellas.

where i want to be.

"Some people come into your life for a lifetime and some come for a season. You have to know which is which. I put everybody that comes into my life in the category of a tree. Some people are leaves on a tree. The wind blows, they go to the left. The wind blows from the other way, they go to the right. They are just unstable. You can't count on them for nothing. All they ever do is take from that tree. What you need to understand about a lead is that it has a season. It's wither and die and blow away. There ain't no ned to be praying over a leaf to be resurrected. When it's dead it's gone. Let it go! Some people are like that. All the lead ever does is cool you off every now and then. If you're grown, you know what I'm talking about, because you can call them in the middle of the night and get cooled off. That's the leaf people. They come to take. Then there are people like a branch. You got to be careful with branch people. They come in all different shapes and sizes. You never know how strong they will be in your life. So my advice is to tip out on it slowly. When you're going out on a limb, don't put too much weight on it at once, because it can fall and leave you high and dry. Sometimes, you have to wait for a branch to grow up before it can hold all of the things you want to share with it. Finally, there are people who are like roots at the bottom of the tree. If you find yourself two or three people in your entire lifetime that are like the roots, then you are blessed. The roots don't care nothing about being seen. All they;re there to do is hold that tree up, to make sure it stays in the air. It comes from the earth to give that tree everything it needs. That's what relationships should be about. That's what you need, people who want to be in your life for the right reasons. If somebody wants to walk out of your life, you've got to LET THEM GO! When you learn to love yourself, you will end up giving standards to everyone around you Again, I repeat with emphasis, if they don't meet those standards, you have to let them go, because they might be a leaf. And forgive them with all your might."
