July 18 ZED I had the opportunity to see ZED, the latest install from Cirque Du Soleil at the Ikspiari complex in Tokyo. The show was a feast for the eyes. When you can afford this treat I highly suggest you take in a Cirque Du Soleil show. My one complaint is that the shows music has not been released for sale yet. Unfortunately that was the only souvenir I wanted, oh no pictures allowed. July 06 AlgebraMaths, not a misspelling for those of us that grew up in a British structured educational system. Maths was not my strong suit. Now that hindsight is more objectively reflective for me, I will frankly say I didn't apply myself. These few words are not about Maths. I discovered the soul artist Algebra Blessett, in early 2008, and I am still hooked. She is signed to Kedar Entertainment Group, the same gentleman who graciously introduced us to Erykah Badu. Yeah, Algebra is that serious! She invokes the same feelings that Lauren, Erykah, and, Jill did when I initially listened to their lyrics. I knew I would a life long fan. I gave y'all an open invite awhile ago to iLike. You can check out her music on my personal iLike page. Access the direct link from either my Spaces page or on my Spaces profile page. Enjoy! July 05 Liv WarfieldI have discovered the music of Liv Warfield. If I could write and sing, her sound is what my internal melody would be. I am shocked that it took this long to discover her. Amazon MP3 player is my purveyor of choice. Yes, I own an iPod however, I have been on an iTunes boycott for the last year. Actually two years, y'all know it goes against my nature to be confined by rules. I have been searching for something better than iTunes ever since I had difficulties burning iTunes purchased music to CD. Now I purchase music from Amazon.com MP3. I downloaded Liv' entire album for $5.99. The money saved, I give to the different causes I believe in. I don't recall who told me that little drops of water make the mighty ocean. So, please share your five, ten or fifteen dollars a month to a cause close to your heart. Every red cent helps create a better life for all humans. Got knowledge, please share, got a dollar left over each month, please share. I believe that we are all givers. What have you given lately? Growing Into Our NamesMy girlfriend believes that we all grow into our names. She feels strongly about contemplating the name of a child. Give thanks to all who impart wisdom into your life. I have recently been struck with curiosity about the meaning of my name. I have more so in the past been driven about the sign I was born under. I am sixty percent Virgo. I am one hundred percent butterfly. I was in high school when I was struck with the realization that I was a transient soul. The appeal of traveling was quite strong, even at that young age. I can recall wanting to work for the U.N. at seventeen. I intrinsically new that it would afford me a mobile life. Here I sit in my apartment in Japan thankfully inhaling the ocean air . The feeling of deja vu strikes me, and the seventeen year old girl in me smiles. The surety of that child strikes me with wonderment. Oh, there is room for the expansion of awareness, life would be so boring if this is it. I am still excited about what I will feel like in ten years. At times I feel like wearing a shirt that says Pardon this human, growth in process. I am grateful that I can acknowledge that I am seldom as awkward in this skin as I sometimes feel. It's already okay.... my catchphrase for my inner circle. It has been so before this butterfly decided. Thankfully all is just so. Today, I am thankful for hindsight. Can you appreciate how much you have grown into the person you somehow knew you would be? |
