Let the sound take you away...

So I don't know about you but music is something I can't live without. I was recently watching this show on Bravo called "Star Portraits" and you guessed it they paint famous people. Anyway, the lead singer of Blue Rodeo was on it and he mentioned something about how he can't understand people that don't love music. The people that don't know the words when you're on a road trip. That kind of thing. And frankly I have to agree.

I can't imagine what it would be like to hear a song and not feel anything. Some songs I can listen to over and over and that chill factor that you get never goes away. Just the lyrics themselves can bring a smile to my face.

On another note- the Duncan garage.
I have been privileged to see some of my favourite artists perform there over the years and hearing that song that you love live cannot be compared to anything that I can fathom. I think back on it and just smile.

This is one of those moments.. it's Aidan knight's knitting something nice for you, i have seen this performed live twice in my life and it sometimes brings me to tears when i listen to it, sheer gold right here. ( I can't get it to attach so the video is on the side for you just copy and paste it :) )

Sometimes you just gotta put those headphones on and slip into a music coma, existing purely in the beat of the drums, the twang of the guitar, and the epic harmonies of voices coming together as one

I'm just a lovesick fool....

Ugh it's official the so called "love bug" has bitten and it's gettin itchy folks. I hate it when they text you and then you reply and it takes ages for them to get back to you, it's practically instantaneous people! Like c'mon. My friend D was recently engaged in one of these situations and she was all stoked on the prospect of a possible new boy in her life, until he totally crumpled that hope into a paper ball and tossed in into the garbage can by completely blowing her off. I wonder if that is what God feels like when we ignore Him. Does He pace back and forth, pulling on His hair waiting for us to reply to His text message? Does He freak out when He finally receives a reply and all it says is "K." It kind of changes my whole perspective of the situation. But for now I'm just going to relish in the fact that God never ignores us when we initiate contact, even if that super cute guy does. Damn those biceps, they get me every time.

I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too...

My body is so filled with excitement right now it's disgusting. My friend and I are about to embark on our own "Most excellent adventure" . Her birthday is coming next week along with her reading break and I booked the whole week off of work so we can initiate what we will refer to as "Super epic birthday week." We intend to re-hash all of our radtastic adventures such as going to Saltspring, Victoria, and a myriad of crazy experiences in between. I am so stoked! You know the type of friend I mean, the one who knows you inside and out, knows just what to say when you need to hear it, and most of all, loves you not for who you are but in despite of who you are. I have many good friends but very few compare to this girl. The thing is, this little lady friend of mine, is really the only one who just "gets" me. We've been buds since the seventh grade but it really wasn't until we graduated that this huge bond grew between us. We have so many memori...

There's a reason that I love this town...

So if you were in Duncan yesterday you would have to agree that it was gorgeous out! Looks like Spring has finally appeared and is trying to stick around. Seriously though I love where I live sometimes. We are surrounded by so much green, lush, nature that I am constantly being reminded of God's glory and infinite beauty. The day would not of been complete without a visit to the Corfield Cafe in the Duncan Garage so I went and ordered some lunch as per usual but this time instead of enjoying the atmosphere inside I took my meal to go. Wandering around I decided to take a seat in this little park wedged between some buildings right down town. Now usually when you walk past there are homeless people scattered all around but today it was vacant and waiting for me. While the sun warmed my back I finished my super delicious meal and made my way into the downtown core to read my book. After a while I started to feel rather lonely. I'm reading "Irresistible revolution" by Sh...
