My new motto.

"Go to school, learn things, live your life, love people, have ideas, be beautiful." -Mikel Jollett.

I'm sorry, but OH EM GEEEEEE (gosh, of course)!!!!!!

I love work today. Why, you ask? Three reasons that I will now disclose to you:

1-We get pizza today.
2-After pizza we are having our weekly meeting. I love the weekly meeting because weekly meeting equals an hour not on the phones.
3-After the weekly meeting we get to go home early!

Can you believe my great luck? Pizza, meeting, and leaving early all on the same day! It's a good day for me even when just one of these things happens! This is like a very positive version of the Bermuda Triangle. If I had to chose one word to describe my mood right now it would be ecstatic. I feel as if I have just opened up the metaphorical door of life and Ed McMahon is standing on my metaphorical doorstep holding a giant metaphorical check all for ME!

And this is my face when I found out:

I Love Ryan Russell. His Photos? Ehh, not so much.

Have you ever been asked, "If you could trade places with anyone for one day who would it be?" I can remember being asked this three different times in my life. My answers were the President of the United States, Oprah and Britney Spears. Yeah, I really did say Britney Spears. But I only gave those answers because there really wasn't anyone I envied enough to trade with. I now have my answer to that question. Actually two answers, the first would be Stephen Christian, who is living his life the way I wish I was living mine. My second answer would have to be Ryan Russell. I'd like to think that 10 years down the road my life will be similar to his. Ryan Russell is a photographer, I tried my best to be picky about the photos I'm putting on here, but I wasn't extremely successful. Feast your eyes upon a few of the reasons I'd like to walk a mile...or five in Ryan Russell's shoes. Prepare for an obnoxious amount of photographs.

And now for the main reason I want to be Ryan Russell... Ben Gibbard, Death Cab For Cutie/The Postal Service


Matt Rubano, Taking Back Sunday


Fred Mascherino, The Color Fred


A little something for Kynslie (pretend that's a bubble gum cigarette)...Max Bemis, Say Anything/Two TonguesCartel

Tom Delonge, Angels and AirwavesAnberlin
Gerard Way, My Chemical Romance (Is anybody else getting a Michael Jackson vibe from this photo? I think it's the nose...and the jacket.)

And let's end with a whole lotta Adam. (And no, I will not take the blame for featuring too many pictures of Adam Lazzara. It's really not my fault that a photogenic person and a great photographer have come in contact one to many times.)

R.I.P. sweet shades.

Today I am mourning the death of a close friend. My favorite pair of sunglasses have officially bit the dust. I carelessly put them in my purse thinking they would by fine, but somehow one of the temples (yes, I know the technical name) has fallen off and is, unfortunately, beyond repair.

I would like to take this time to say thank you. Thank you, dear shades, for being there for me through the brightest summer days to the most blinding days of winter. I remember our first days together, Kaela had found you at the Warped Tour, I took you from her and claimed you as my own. It didn't take a genius to see we were MFEO. You've always made me feel as glamorous as Jakie O. and have added that special touch of class to many an outfit. You may be useless to me now, but I will always remember you in all your rock n roll glory. You will be missed.

circle of hate reform

I now have a mutual blog with Kynslie Coffin entitled 'Circle of Hate Reform'. If you feel so inclined you can check it out at www.circleofhatereform.blogspot.com, just keep in mind that I really do love life. Neither of us are negative people persay, it's just that sometimes the world decides it hates us and we will now be keeping a public record of it.
