The Foreign Exchange x The Howard Theatre

Meet me here.

 

It's been four years since I first saw the Foreign Exchange perform in Richmond. It was a great show... perfect atmosphere for date night or anyone who just enjoys a good live show. I'll be in there, bright and early. Doors open at 6.

"Dreams Are Made For Two," one of my favorite songs off the latest album.

It Takes More Than Water To Grow A Garden

it takes more than water to grow a garden

there's a difference between maintaining one, and actually putting love and care into it

why plant the seeds

( SIDE NOTE: "Do a little more each day then you think you can." - Lowell Thomas )

open mic this week is so necessary
I need to be surrounded by passionate people
expression,
good vibes
ill word play
release

I need to feel that

 

been a while since I've had something mind blowing.

The Bizarre Weekend: 4/26/2014

Gams.

We gave a new meaning to fashionably late...

#TheBizarre

The Flirtation with Vulnerability

The flirtation with vulnerability

the wanton need to

delve deeper into self

and feel something...

starts with a conscious decision to allow oneself to go there

knowing that the outcome of such action

could prove

beneficial or detrimental

but also embracing that the lingering space in between

is filled with the beauty of adrenaline and hope

terror and anticipation,

falling or flying?

into the deep abyss or a field of daisies

defenses disabled,
you're out there

possibilities unknown
but the desire to find out
overcomes the fear

knowing that there's no other way to get to this place

than to jump
