Shady's Back

I did not write in my blog much in 2015.  It was a very difficult year.  I felt super miserable and could not think of good things to say so I just shut down.  So while 2015 was the year of the caterpillar, 2016 definitely is starting off as the year of the butterfly.  Things are not perfect, they never will be, but they are very, very good.  I am going to start posting again.  Some will be long, some will be short but I do miss my blog and so from my cocoon I escape.  Today is Leap Day.  I love Leap Year and Leap Day.  I don't know why but I just think it is cool.  I read a good joke today that said if you a salaried employee then you are working for free today!  So true but I would never have thought of that as I am just happy to be working.  Much, much more to come - you will see.

Ya Know...

Sometimes holding it all together feels like this.

Perfume Genius - 'Hood'

Just discovered this.  Amazing what is out there.  So much insanity on the internet then you stumble across this and you know the internet is the just most amazing place ever.

You would never call me baby
If you knew me truly
Oh but I waited so long for your love
I am scared baby that I can't keep it up for long

Boy I wish I grew up the second
I first held you in my arms
Underneath this hood you kiss
I tick like a bomb

You would never call me baby
If you knew me truly
Oh but I waited so long for you love
I will fight baby not to do you wrong

SOAK - Sea Creatures

Been so obsessed with this song for several months now.  Cannot get over it.
"When they tell you, they love you, well they don't mean it - I don't think they know what they mean.  I don't think they know what love is. Throw it around like it is worthless".
I am not particularly down, I just love this song.  Makes me envious that another human can create such beauty, passion, and emotion.  But I so enjoy that they do.

7th Anniversary

7 years ago from today I made my first post.  Wow, that is just crazy.  I know I struggled with posting recently but here I sit 7 years to the day creating another post.  No pearls of wisdom on this 7th anniversary.  Its all good.  And to explain the picture I put in copper to eBay as copper is the traditional gift 7th anniversary gift - I swear it is.  Well as I scrolled through I came across this antique Egyptian plate.  I cannot not get enough of Egypt lately so really was excited to see it.  I love the Egyptian motif.  Thanks to the discovery of Tutankhamen tomb in the early 20th century there was a huge Egyptian revival period in the 1920's - especially in jewelry and home decor.  I hunt around eBay to look at the different items because it is fun.  I don't need to own it as just looking is good for me.  Although this plate is awesome and to own it would be cool.  It is only $165 in case you are in the market for a 7th anniversary payment.  Hahahaha teasing. I own it now as is it is since I added it to my blog.  

03.15.2015

Wow busy weekend.  Friday was the 13th, yesterday was PI or Pie Day (03.14.15) and today is the Ides of March.  I however had a very low key weekend which is good because it was a difficult start to the week.  I had to go to San Diego to take care of something.  This is not the right forum for details but it was just some financial stuff.  It is all set now but it was difficult for me.  I am usually pretty fine flying solo but for this one I needed to muster up a bunch of power.  In the end I got it done and feel good but I dunno, it does wander round and round my head.  Well I am doing better than Caesar on this day so we will day it's a win.
