Unbroken Promise

So you all know about how music affects me and when one speaks to me, I have to write it down or share it.  I came across this song while listening to Joshua Radin Pandora and just about fell out of my chair.  It's rich, soulful, and sexy.  It put a smile on my face; maybe it will yours too.


Baby take off your coat
And I’ll loosen my tie
You are far too beautiful
For us to turn off the lights

Your December skin
And a trail of our clothes
You can keep your socks on
If your feet are cold

But I don’t want to have to ask permission
Give me a chance
It won’t be perfect, just an unbroken promise from
An imperfect man

Your red wine tongue
My sudden loss of breath
You like the sound of my heartbeat
When you lay your head on my chest

But I don’t want to have to ask permission
Give me a chance
It won’t be perfect, just an unbroken promise from
An imperfect man
So draw all the curtains, all the goodbyes are gone
Love found through love gone wrong
An unbroken promise from a broken man
To love you the best that I can
Baby, please

Take off your coat
And I’ll turn up the lights
Cause baby I’ve made plans
To stay the rest of my life

Wow... that just happened...

So, my "friend" (and I use that term loosely), the one that owes me about $200... oh, did she just make me angry! She told me a couple weeks ago that she would be unable to pay me right now because she has to pay for summer school. In March? Really? I'm not an idiot, but apparently she is. She commented or wrote on someone's wall that she was thankful that they bought her lunch (that's like 3 days now) and she's looking forward to the movies this weekend and the tattoo shop! Seriously? You're gonna spend the money you owe me on tats? Have you no respect? No dignity? No care or concern for what your word means? Does it not bother you that your word means nothing and that I have lost that much more respect for you? Does your reputation not concern you? After all the years we spent under the heading of "best friends", you throw it all away. I mean, you already kind of did with the Christmas dinner at Mi Cocina with your words. Yes, th...

New Year...New Blog... Newness.

Hello 2012! Welcome! Good to see a new face! Many new things on the horizon... new changes... renewed spirit... A breath of fresh air! I feel so many good things coming this year. 2011 was a somewhat turbulent year for me emotionally and I'm glad it's come to an end and I'm thankful for all that I learned from it. I've missed blogging and I really should do it more often. I know I've said that before, but things get in the way and time just flies by you. So, I promise this to you... I will blog at least once a month. A reasonable and attainable goal for me. :) I'll try and catch you up on all that is going on soon...

I am more than I used to be...

 I don't know why today was the day I remembered/stumbled upon this blog again... well, all my blogs. Kismet much? I just spent the last 30 minutes going through my old posts and I kinda want to smack that girl. How blind I was to so many things, but mostly my own worth. I kept placing my worth in what boys (and I use that word intentionally) thought of me. And I was so broken when it ended... as if it was surprising. Reading through the posts I thought I would remember all the feelings and pain, but I didn't. Like the girl that was all over those posts no longer exists. I'd like to think that, for sure. I'd like to think that there is no way I will ever be her again (cause she was a bit of a narcissistic bitch). I'd like to believe that I've actually grown up and know what I'm worth because of me and not a man. Let's call that a vast improvement from where I was when I first started this blog (back in 2010)! I can also say that the relationship between ...
