I pretty much have loved third eye blind for some time now. i go through these phases of just listening to them non-stop.

…and right now it’s no different.

Certain music just becomes your soundtrack to your life…

kind of like friends, in the sense that it sees you through a lot of  ups and downs, and a lot of good and bad.

I feel like this particular album usually sees me through my summer months. For some reason it’s this time of year where i tend to come back to it….

and it only becomes better and better the more i listen to it.

(It may not be your cup of tea, but hey, i was a kid on the tail-end of the 90′s,

i cant help myself.)

It’s an interesting feeling I’ve been having these past few days.

Heartbreak.

It’s an aching feeling that sits right in my chest, right on top of my heart.

I am heartbroken.

I am heartbroken for my town.

I grew up believing my town would always stay the same. I could come and go and somehow, it would just always be how I remembered it. The street lights, the park, the coffee shop on the corner, the sonic down the street, the historical attractions I came to know and love, those little patches of grass I use to picnic on, those trees I use to dream under….
And it never accured to me that maybe one day…. It might never be the same.

Middle Tennessee received the greatest amount of rainfall in recorded history.
It left us with several casualties, millions of dollars in damage
and an indelible mark on our city.
This video shows but a small sample of the destruction
and mayhem wrought by this disaster. Please pray for those affected.

I’m not usually a fan of pink…
But I must say, this vintage pink blouse is one of my favourites.
I’ve had it since… Gosh, I don’t know… A long time. I put it away for a while and just brought it back out about a month or two ago. I can’t believe how much it has grown on me again. I feel like it might be my lucky shirt.

I always seem to feel good when I wear it.

It’s the simple things in life….

Dear iPad,
Please stop invading my dreams. You have already successfully made me desire getting you when you come out.

Dear Future Mini Golden-Doodle Puppy,
I hope you love me as much as we will love you. I can’t wait to curl up with you and watch The Office. I know you will think Dwight is as funny as I do.

Dear Portland,
Thank you for being the birth place of my best friend, but I do wish she was closer… Can you try to help? thanks.

Dear Exercise,
I wish I liked you more lately. Sorry.

Dear Summer Nights,
I anxiously await your return.

there are few things i like better then a grapefruit in the morning….

and even fewer things i like better then a grapefruit with cinnamon-brown sugar on top.

I defiantly think grapefruits are under rated.
