Its almost 2012...

Things on my mind:

December 21, 2012?... are we doomed?  (Less than a year away)

If so, is it a bad time to buy real estate?

Should I teach abroad, for the fun of it?

Should I commit to neon denim?, Or is it just a fad that will pass faster than Katy Perry's terrible songs.


About committing:

I need to commit to something other than the gym (yoga, meditating) something that is difficult and compromises and challenges me both physically and mentally.  This will add discipline to my life.

Eating healthier EVERYBODY says it. These are some simple things I/you can do...
1. drink more water
2. staying away from condiments
3. cutting out sugar. SERIOUSLY, I'm serious about this!!!
4. exercising 3-4 x per week.
5. regular shopping sprees :) this is important.
6. .....to be continued....I must organize my room.

Ciao for now. Wishing all of you a very happy new year! safe drinking practices (one drink of alcohol two cups of water)


Peace!

ya'know and update

Wowza,

Haven't been here in a very very long time.  I miss this personal space.  Its all all mine.  This summer has been really lovely in Toronto.  One of the hottest summers I have experienced.  I've done some shopping, zero traveling, little work, and occasional homework.  Over all...kinda lame but I'm totally loving it!.  I have been hitting the gym more often and getting my beach bod super ready for any vacay that might come my way.

I think I just enjoy working out though.  Its totally awesome 'cause I feel like a superhero after a long steady run and hot and sweaty bike ride.  Something about sweat, its the result of physical hard work! oh so sexy!  Yeah!

Don't forget the SPF and stay cool friends.

Belle & Sebastian - I Didn't See It Coming

Burial - Raver

Burials music is all I am listening to right now. Sorta obsessed with them. I know that I could sit in a room and paint for hours and feel like no time as gone by. The visuals in this video of ants doing what they do best is relaxing. They have a job and they do it. Programmed little ants a reminder that life in all forms is amazing if we take the time to simply look at the small things.

Polynesian Bride - One Chord (live @ The Piston)

A great tune, .... that has a lot of heart and brought me to tears.

Sharam - Fun (Funhouse Radio Mix)

This reminds me of dancing at Veranda in NYC. Dedicated to S.B, Z.L, J.P. "Ohhhhhhhoooooooo didn't we have fun, and I it hurts like hell when, you can't be with someone. Didn't have fun, and it hurts like hell, and I don't want to forget..."

FOLKED UP! (in Terre Haute!) - Yearbook Committee '73 : We Let Our Grade...

I know right. They are pretty amazing.

The Day the Dollar Died

Gold baby! Gold is where it's at.

Enur feat. Natasja - Calabria 2007

I couldn't look away...it's a delicious music video. Inspiring for those is cooler climates looking forward to the spring/summer months. ;)

Bibio - Lover's Carvings

Love this song!!! Like really love it! :) There is so much plaid in this video. hehe

thoughts...

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Pete Doherty interview - part one - BBC

I love Pete! No wonder Kate was gaga over him!

:) party party---on a Monday night and a poem.

going out tonight...and I'm not even sure where.  They say Monday is the new Friday, I heard that on T.V yesterday so it must be true.  Make change, change, change, change all the time....nothing stays the same....except for the tides...and even they change.  The moon it changes, (and controls the tides) but it's always there, it doesn't go anywhere, it's still up there at night.  I'm glad I can count on the moon to be there.  I'm now reminded of poem by William Blake 1757-1827: 'Tyger Tyger'


The Tyger

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire in thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, and what art?
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand, and what dread feet?

What the hammer? What the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb, make thee?

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

The Walkmen - Stranded ( Lisbon 2010 )

I love this song, is playing like a broken record in my head...the trumpet moves me to tears.

Bali...now I want to go! Dolce fare niente!

Feeling a bit under the weather.  I don't want to give in and get a full on cold, so I'm loading up on vitamin C.  Homemade lemonade sans sugar is what really works for me....I drink it on the reg and I have to say it helps with overall vitality.

 Kuta beach Bali

What I'm craving right now is a nice little getaway...but it needs to be warm...hot actually.  When its so hot that sweat running down your spine is considered normal.  YEAH! Bring it!

let your emotions guide you

 hot hot

 awesome
