December 2009
In 2009....
I missed my blog’s anniversary...it was on the 14th. Usually on that day I reflect on the year….I’ve started my list of this year’s highlights but am not quite ready to share that. So for now, I will share with you a bit of what I’ve learned/remembered in 2009:
Sometimes you can’t follow your gut, you have to follow your heart
People may disappoint...

Maryann with the pot.
Elaine: [on the phone] May I speak with William, please?
Sapphire: He's not here. He's still in the bar with the band. They just got back from the radio station. Is this Maryann with the pot?... Hello?
Elaine: No, this isn't Maryann with the pot. This is Elaine... his mother. Could you please give him a message? Could you tell him to call home immediately? And could you also tell him: I know what's going on.
Sapphire: All right. But I'm just going to say this, and I'm going to stand by it. You should be really proud of him. 'Cause I know men, and I'll bet you do, too. And he respects women, and he likes women, and let's just pause and appreciate a man like that. You created him out of thin air, and you raised him right, and we're all looking out for him. He's doing a great job, and don't worry: he's still a virgin. And that's more than I've ever said to my own parents. So there you go... This is the maid speaking, by the way.

5 Life Lessons from my new Scottish Friend
1. Wait fifteen seconds before you say any fighting words. My old woman, she and I agreed to this a long time back and I can’t even tell you how many fights this has prevented. In fifteen seconds, your entire perspective can change and a calmness can wash over you. Trust me, those fifteen second pauses can save a marriage.
2. Holding a grudge is a waste of bloody time. You spend so much of...

QT.
I’m one of those people who believes sometimes you just have to step away from the computer (or camera or iphone or whatever) and simply just enjoy moments. Actually experiencing them can be so much better than spending your time trying to properly document them. So that’s what I’m going to do this holiday.
I think over the next few days I’ll celebrate the holiday by...

I agree with Mike. As an ex-girlfriend and friend to many a musician, I know how frustrating labels can be. As a marketer I know that they way the labels are doing business is not viable in the current marketplace and that...

– Kate Hudson, Harper’s Bazaar
[Ok, my love fest with Ms. Hudson is temporarily over. But seriously - how right is she? Living your life open - really open - is truly the only way. And kissing/hugging your way through life? I wish I’d realized that so many years ago.]

Home.
Andrew Largeman: You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of a sudden even though you have some place where you put your shit, that idea of home is gone.
Sam: I still feel at home in my house.
Andrew Largeman: You'll see one day when you move out it just sort of happens one day and it's gone. You feel like you can never get it back. It's like you feel homesick for a place that doesn't even exist. Maybe it's like this rite of passage, you know. You won't ever have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I don't know, but I miss the idea of it, you know. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people that miss the same imaginary place.
