Thinking with Sound

This constant sound, lets me be free in thought. Gypsy den music bands resound with their stories in tune and it lets me be free to think. Going into the Gypsy Den, i enter into a state of creative bliss and majic because everyone understands and there is a vulnerability going there because it is already opening itself up to you with its creativeness, there are other artists there expressing themselves, and they just get me. They inspire me with their mandalins, cellos, fluffed out don't care hair, harmonicas, harmonies, lamps, rugs on the walls, acoustic sounds, voices, humms and whisteling. The vibe is majical and transports me to a different place. There was a band tonight called This Frontier Needs Heroes, a brother and sister from Brooklyn, NY, and they sang some quite beautiful songs, one stuck out to me called Space Baby. It was so sweet. I felt like I could sit there for hours and just contemplate, write, and dream. Space Baby, it created the best kind of musical whimsical space for me to think. There was another guy with them named Levi, and he and the rest of the band along with this other fellow who plays piano usually on tuesday nights at Gypsy, all played together and i felt like I was in Bohemian France, a different time and place all together. It was so unreal, but I was so glad it really happened. What a dream. I am in such fancy. I shall sleep very well tonight. Ohh yes. Good night.

I Could Stay Here for A Week- Palm Springs

Top down on mom's solara. blasting music wind blowing through my hair, the whole bit. I am in paradise right now. Away from all reality of life, I could stay here for a week or two. Got here two days ago, have been laying out, feeling the sun on your skin is one of the best pros of life. There is nothing like feeling the rich beating sun on your skin, it is one of my favorite gifts from God. Looking at palm trees, oh howw I've missed them! When you drive down the main rd towards the desert mountains, all you see is nature ahead, it is so empowering just looking at the mountains, feeling like I could drive for days just to look at that view and listen to good music. I could just drive away all my problems and they would just disinigrate, fly out of my head past my hair and into the wind. My view has been so great at our hotel room. Cutest inn I've ever stayed in (no pun :p) We have a balcony, which are another pro of life, and looks out directly over the pool (so COOL!) All of the rooms have different countries flags hanging out of the balcony's, kind of a funky nice touch. I love this place, it is the perfect mix of chill and quirky palm desert vacation. The owner has this mustache that overwhelms the lower half of his face. Nicest man though. He can sport it. It matches his frizzy hair, like a balding einsten with a ponytail. So great. I have had a great stay, bonding with my mom has been so special, since we don't get to spend as much time together now that I am embedded in Sonoma State, but now I am more aware of how precious our time is together, which is good. Now time to go lay out one last time and get in the pool!

Second Chances

I find it quite amazing and smart and kind of God to create second chances. He knew what He was doing when He created those. For a variety or reasons, I will explain........ For instance, the world is SO far from being perfect, and God knew that, and since He is the only one that could create and live a perfect movie moment life for every moment of his life, and we couldn't, we only try through working our imaginations through music and movies. But there is no such thing as perfection in the real world life situations. I was just on my way home from running errands, listening to the country music station (the ushe), and there was a song called "Goodnight" about how this guy missed his chance to kiss his date, and he turned the car around and ran back up to her porch to kiss her. Fortunately, she was waiting for him to, and was thrilled he came back. He had a second chance, and in life, me personally, am so indecisive sometimes when it comes to choices with anything, and second chances are the BEST! It's not like I was wrong or anything less than okay to not make it right the first time, however, some second chances seem way more graceful and blessed than getting a second chance to change your coffee to a small instead of a medium..but either way, you always feel so good to get a second chance.

yea you did
yea you were an idiot and didn't ask me first chance you got
but yea you did
come back and that makes all the difference 
and yea you did
scoop me off my feet
made me feel like the princess that i was created to be

yea you are
yea you are the most amazing
the most fulfilling
the most worth my time
than any other fish in this sea
i have kissed others but they were just floundering guppies compared to you

yea you are
yea you are my only date
yea you are my only kiss goodnight
yea you are the only one for me
the only one for me
