worth considering

"I wonder what kind of person would come out

if I ever did erase all my inhibitions at once, 

what kind of being is bottled up inside me now."

everything november is not.

the retro california beach culture is so dreamy to me - life just seems easier when lived in bathing suits or on surf boards under the california sun.

 I love that right now in my life…

I live with my very best friends and get to spend all the time I want with them.

My budgeting concerns are between groceries, LCBO purchases, bar drinks and sometimes a hungover breakfast (at noon). 

I can sleep for 14 hours straight and get away with it.

I can not go to sleep at all, and instead go to bed when the sun is coming up.

I can hide away in my bedroom with the boy I love, for as long as we want to be away from the world.

I can drink beer out of funnels and wine out of the bottle, and am in fact encouraged to do so.

I can dance like a fool.

My priorities can be to first finalize my pub golf costume and only then, once that's figured out, begin finishing that essay due next week.

I can blame mistakes I make on the fact that I`m young and still learning.

I can say, and really mean it, that I`m having an amazing time.

Graduation is a terribly daunting 10 letter word waiting for me at the end of this school year, and right now no part of me wants it to come. 

Have we lost this caliber of performance with todays auto-tune-happy pop stars? As much as I appreciate the theatrical entertainment that newer artists like Lady Gaga have brought to the music world, I think that this type of raw and unrehearsed emotion-driven performance is sadly a thing of the past. It's pretty amazing that despite this, youtube allows us to experience, at least in some form, this amazing memory from Woodstock 1969. 

On a side note: Joe Cocker's voice in this video completely melts me.

reel talk: somewhere

I`m craving to see this movie written and directed by the one and only Sofia Coppola. Maybe it was the rare keyboard demo version of a Strokes song in the trailer that won me over, or maybe it was the fact that it is the film debut of Elle Fanning - yes, she is indeed the just as blonde, and just as beautiful, younger sister of the famous Dakota. 

Perhaps it was the seamless composition of the trailer, that somehow manages to depict the developing relationship between a re-connected father and daughter amidst scenes of girls on stripper poles and those perfect make-you-want-to-jump-in LA swimming pools… 

either way, this movie is certainly blessed with Coppola cool.

Coppola won an Oscar for Best Writing and Original Screen Play for Lost in Translation (2003), lets see if this project lets her take home another well deserved, and handsome, golden man.

Go see it: Dec. 22

i'm blogging...

I always have too many thoughts in my head.

I have something to say about, and reaction towards everything.

I want to be a part of the ever growing on-line creative world.

I love to read.

I love to write.

And so...

I`m blogging.
