press pause

Timing is everything. In comedy, in medicine, in directions- in everything. This week has been a very busy one for me as I am preparing to head home for a little vacation and I have to get everything ready/done before I go. I have been catching myself thinking about using my time wisely, yet I have been procrastinating like it's my job. I am driving myself bananas. Knowing this, why do I still allow myself to dick around and think about all the time I am in fact wasting?

Hopefully, I will be able to manage my time before it's too late because even though timing is everything... it still runs out. Although it makes me kind of uneasy to think about, I often catch myself wondering about everything I could accomplish if I used my time well- the possibilities are endless!

Homework Fuel

Pandora has to be one of the greatest inventions next to Q-tips.

Some argue that it's a shame for a person to listen the same song or idea over and over again (Conor Oberst Rolling Stone 1125) as it has all come down to an 'algorithm'. I disagree. I love to pick one artist and hear things similar to them because for the most part, I genuinely like the music/song/idea.

I have yet to pay for pandora but I have gone over my allotted 40 hours of free music for the past 3 months...maybe I should?

Here was the first song to come on my pandora today and I just knew I was going to have a productive writing session!

Nameless

lately, I have been giving names a lot of thought. I have never been one to name inanimate objects like cars or other things I interact with on a daily basis- even though I LOVE names. I love the history, the feelings and the unique associations each person has when a name is said. everyone has that name that makes their skin crawl, their heart ache or their heart begin to race.

I have done a makeover on this blog as it's purpose is shifting, just the same as my life. renaming parts of this blog were quite a challenge..how do I associate the new changes with my past while still adhering to the cohesiveness that I desire? it was a challenge but with my love of music, especially the lyrics I think I have a good starting block to jump on in.

please be patient as this is a work in progress, I will try my best to keep up on it and keep it interesting.

have you ever thought about the connotations with your name? the good, the bad and the ugly?
