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

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
you're out there
possibilities unknown
but the desire to find out
overcomes the fear
but the desire to find out
overcomes the fear
knowing that there's no other way to get to this place
than to jump
