Have not posted in a while...

Let me tell you why I have been doing Becky Higgins project life instead.

It is a nice project and I have been having fun with it. 

Free MusicFest

Sable and I went to the fifth annual Midland Free Music festival.

This year there was an 8 foot x 30 foot canvas that will end up being part of a huge "free paint" mural.  Yes I picked up a brush.  

We visited all the vendors and Sable even got a massage... she is so spoiled.  We wandered over and found a shadey spot under a tree and just chilled out and listened to some great music. 

"FreeMusic Festival is an all original FREE admission music and arts celebration! FreeMusic brings you the best original music along with art vendors, kid's activities, a charity disc golf tournament and more! Held annually on the second Saturday of June, FreeMusic offers the community an all ages event unlike any other. No matter what your interest is, this festival has it! Located in the heart of the Tri-Cities, Tittabawasee Township Park gives us the opportunity to provide a full day of rock, blues, indie, country, and alternative style music for everyone."

Distant Worlds

Kitchener, Ontario, Canada
Centre In The Square

Tuesday - Feb 28, 2012 - 8:00pm

Arnie Roth, Conductor

Highlights include:

FINAL FANTASY VIII: Eyes On Me, featuring Susan Calloway

FINAL FANTASY VII: Opening - Bombing Mission

FINAL FANTASY X: Zanarkand

FINAL FANTASY XIII: Blinded By Light

FINAL FANTASY X: Suteki da ne, featuring Susan Calloway

Can I just say this was an amazing concert.  I have never had music brought to life like that.  Susan Calloway is an expert vocalist.  If you are a Final Fantasy fan and you have not been to one of these concerts, I suggest you get a ticket pronto... well worth the money.

The Tenth Circle

"Dante stood at the gates of hell and read the warning written above them: "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate"—"All hope abandon, ye who enter here." And then he continued through them anyway. He wrote about sinners in the nine circles of hell, and I realized there should be another one. One reserved for those of us who have lied to ourselves by pretending we aren't hurting the ones we love. The tenth circle."

Who Are You?

It is important to know what a person was.
But it's more important to know what they are now.

...I have learned people can change in a heartbeat, and not always for the better. I'm not as trusting as people think I am. Sure, I see the best in people, but that doesn't mean it's really there.

Music

I envy the music lovers hear. I see them walking hand in hand, standing close to each other in a queue at a theater or subway station, heads touching while they sit on a park bench, and I ache to hear the song that plays between them: The stirring chords of romance's first bloom, the stately airs that whisper between a couple long in love. You can see it in the way they look at each other... you can almost hear it. Almost, but not quite, because the music belongs to them and all you can have of it is a vague echo that rises up from the bittersweet murmur and shuffle of your own memories

Need more distractions

Got in the car to go to work, there was an accident, not sure how it happened it is daylight and the roads are dry... probably texting while driving or something. Had a meeting which i struggled to stay awake in since my appetite and ability to sleep have gone AWOL. Around 1:00 I had to go home to let the dog out because people keep asking me what is wrong, I thought I was putting on a good show… I guess this is why I am not an actor I have no poker face. Once I got back the afternoon flew by.

Came home and tried to walk Sable but she did not want to go too far since she has on a fur coat and it is 93 degrees out. She looked as if to say: “listen bitch, if you think we are going on one of your long walks today you are crazy.” So now she is stretched out on the living room floor having some peanut butter. Hey she deserves to be spoiled.

Since it was clear I was not getting my walk in, I did some Zumba on the PS3. I earned another trophy called “You’re a Machine” I think it was because my sister called me right then and she was so happy and chattering at me while I was doing the routine and the PS3 was impressed I could talk on the phone and do Zumba at the same time. Achievement!

 

Now I am blogging, or rambling about nothing I guess… I have nothing funny to say, it is really me just trying to keep my mind busy. Oh for fuck sakes I just realized I put my t-shirt on inside out… its ok I don’t really feel like fixing it anyway.
