As you may have noticed, i LOVE going to the Blow Up SF! I know I've missed a number of things I did & music that came out but these Facebook highlights struck me the most... damn that's hella stuff! haha. I'll add more pictures & media as time goes.
Working with Mark on our music for the past few months has been really, really invigoratingly refreshing; I came to realize that being happy is all that I really want most out of my life, and I thank Mark for helping me see that. Of course I want to be successful, too, career wise and everything.. but with the music we've been making, if this can blossom into a career, then that's fine; and if not, well I'm just glad I've realized how much I love doing this and love how good it feels. DAMN. Like, nothing feels better!
Anyway, Life Is Good (Word to M. Def) & the possibilities are equally as endless if not more endless in possibility for every day that I WAKE UP, WAKE UP. (GOD I'm awesome for connecting that Lullatone song with this closing salutation! Or not.)
P.S., I'll try to post more often, as Ana Vi(ctorious) has limitlessly inspired me to just live my life better. & my fault I didn't make it to your farewell dinner, I caught a tough flu that very weekend :(
"Drifing away like a feather in air,
Letting my words take me away from the hurt & despair.."
