where the light is

this is when i profess my love for john mayer. i picked up “where the light is, john mayer live in los angeles” yesterday. 2 disc live cd and dvd. he kind of goes through this evolution of his career so far on this album. it starts with him and an acoustic guitar, continues with pino palladino and steve jordan covering some of his trio songs and some hendrix, and ends with his more popular full band set. it’s like 3 mini concerts in one.

if you don’t like john mayer as a songwriter, i might understand. but you should go see him live. i think he’s one of the best, if not the best guitar player of my generation. i mean if he can convince pino palladino and steve jordan to waste their time with him, he has to be good right?

not only is the music awesome on this album but the dvd is sweet. it was shot with super 8 film and steve clinch did an amazing job with the photography and editing. you feel like you have a backstage pass and get to see the band transition between each set.

if you like him, you should pick it up. if you don’t, well, pray about it.

wii fit

so if you know me, you know i’m in love with my wii fit. i watched and watched for it when i heard it was being made and pre-ordered the darn thing. which is funny b/c i’m not a big game person. the only video game i have is dr. mario for N64 (try and beat me). but i thought this wii thing might be what it takes to get me up off my butt.

it’s pretty amazing, at first i just messed around with the balance games but then i thought, i didn’t pay $90 to ski jump, so i forced myself to do the exercises. a little rough at first but last night i got on and realized i had lost almost 5 lbs just from messing around on this video game for 3 weeks. awesome.

(ignore that red dot, it was a bad week)

14 months

the last 14 months were annoying, embarrassing and painful. but i finally have straight teeth, an aligned bite and the ability to keep them healthy. i hope i never have to have braces again. thanks goes to my dad for footing the bill even though i no longer live in his house.

to celebrate i went to the spa for the first time in my life and will eventually consume all of this, thanks to patrick…

colin hay

this song came on shuffle on my plane ride home last night and i hadn’t heard it in a long time. it’s extremely sad but i love when a song is so perfectly powerful that it actually takes you there. wherever the artist was when they wrote it or where you were when it first attracted you. this song is one of those for me. if you haven’t heard it you should look it up…

I drink good coffee every morning
Comes from a place that’s far away
And when I’m done I feel like talking
Without you here there is less to say
I don’t want you thinking I’m unhappy
What is closer to the truth
That if I lived till I was 102
I just don’t think I’ll ever get over you

I’m no longer moved to drink strong whisky
‘Cause I shook the hand of time and I knew
That if I lived till I could no longer climb my stairs
I just don’t think I’ll ever get over you
Your face it dances and it haunts me
Your laughter’s still ringing in my ears
I still find pieces of your presence here
Even after all these years
But I don’t want you thinking I don’t get asked to dinner
‘Cause I’m here to say that I sometimes do
Even though I may soon feel the touch of love
I just don’t think I’ll ever get over you

the good ole days

those were the days. i was right out of college, twenty pounds heavier, broke, had no insurance and no promise of a job. i was happy. almost 4 years ago i started at nationwide. had a sweet internship with some girls i’m still friends with today. last week, i put in my notice. it’s long overdue but i’m a little sad at the same time. it’s taken me a lot of places, introduced me to some great people. i’m ready for new things. i want to feel like this again…like some bada** who can do anything i want.

it also showed me what i don’t want outta life. in the beginning all the perks of the job sucked me in; work trips, dinners, money, moving up the ladder. i followed the rules, came in early, took short lunches, canceled plans with my boyfriend to get that project done.

not worth it.

i think there is a corporate myth that all of those things are required for someone to really care about their job. i think it can all be done while taking long lunches, sleeping in, and spending more time on things that matter. so that’s what i’m going to do.
