“…Sometimes I feel like I’m living in the wrong time, where love is just a lyric in a children’s rhyme…”

it’s funny how the unexpected and the unintended seem to seek you out, pull up a chair, poor some wine and make life interesting!! There are so many things I don’t understand, so many things I wish I could fully grasp, and just when I think I’ve figured it out, it turns out it was only a shadow I was chasing.

You know we go through life telling everyone that we’ve finally reached a point where we are “real” we are taking life as it comes, but we’re all liars…we all live in our own world of denial, our own land far away where the world is how we want it to be. No one wants to get old, no one wants to change, and no one wants to lose what they know they can’t keep…ah well, I suppose that’s just the way we are.

What saddens me most in life is to see people short-change themselves…they know what they want, and yet they live in constant fear of all they cannot see in front of them…their past haunts them like the monster in the closet, and they become apathetic to the world around them…missing out on so many beautiful things, on so many wonderful moments. They might see the big-picture but they miss all those little things that make life worth living another day…it’s the unforeseen and the element of surprise that make it worth taking another breath…but alas we all make our own decisions, and while some may be willing to walk through life miserable for nothing, I am resolved to embrace my never-land, and smile at the unexpected and thrive on the little things…and besides, all that “stuff” that we freak out about, in the grand scheme of things don’t amount to a damn thing…they mean nothing…stress is self induced…”…today can either be a good day or a bad day, it’s your choice…choose wisely…”

Oh the tricks our minds love to play...telling us to believe things that are merely perceived and not actually there, telling us to walk down the path that seems most logical when in the end we find ourselves lost in a maze of emotion, doubt, frustration, and the occasional smile...ahh, but so is our ever changing lives. What would life be without it's many twists and turns, it's many bridges, and mountains, its hardships, struggles, relationships, chance meetings, fearful glances, & nervous silence!? I love my life, I love the shear irony of it all. the fact that I can wake up in the morning ready and willing to bet my life on a thing, and by dinner-time be so confused as to not know if I would even consider it part of my life anymore! But this is what makes life interesting, makes life more than 9-5, more than rush hour traffic, and the next big sale, more than closing the deal, more than celebrity gossip.....oh, the beauty of a childs laugh, or a well written song, or the smile she gave you today, or your first tear from a broken heart...don't worry no pain can last forever, every cloud has a silver lining. everything you feel and think and know and wonder all add up to an adventure we call life! and what an adventure, no two days are the same, every new moment possesses the potential to be a great one...don't throw those moments away, don't sit and watch as they drive by...what are you going to do with your adventure......every day is only as good as you make it......if I learned anything from my time in boot camp it was something my drill seargent said..."today can either be a good day, or it can be a bad day. it's your choice.......choose wisely!!!"

I love the sound of waves at the beach, I love the sound of a violin playing Bach, I love the sound of silence in the evening. I love coffee. I love scarves. I love a cold chilly evening in October, with a cup of Russian Blend a guitar and few friends to share the sunset with...I love driving late at night. I love walking late at night. I love San Fran & Washington DC. I love Moscow. I love the feeling you get when your nervous to say hello because your afraid she might turn and walk away! I love our amazing heavenly Father who gave us life and music!!!! I love black & white photography. I love old films. I love a French accent. I love to speak Russian. I love being completely confused, cause if I wasn't life would be simple and boring...I love quotes...

"Making life simple is the hardest job you'll ever have"

"That was close...too bad close only counts in Horse-shoes, handgrenades, and slow dancing..."

"Coffee just tastes better when I'm with her..."

"The most beautiful discovery true friends make, is that they can grow seperately without growing apart."

Well, I suppose thats all...I won't be on here again for two months, so goodbye to you all...live life to it's fullest, don't short-change yourself, don't smoke and don't mix your liquors! Ciao for now...
