the Frames are dominating my playlists

yesterday someone asked me if i needed to be told that it is all going to be okay.

i realized that yes. in fact. i did.

don't we all?
i definitely want to be told with conviction that everything will work out fine.
that it will all unfold exactly the way it should.

so that person looked me straight in the eye and told me what i needed to hear most.
and i believe them.

i have a spare ticket to crowded house/pete yorn for tuesday night. there are several people who i could invite but i want to go with someone who loves crowded house as much as i do. which is a whole lot.

today i realized it is impossible to not smile back at a smiling child. impossible.

in a few weeks i'm going to memphis for work.
all i know about memphis is graceland, and that justin timberlake hails from this city.
i will be attending a 'road marketing forum'.
when i told maz this she thought i said a 'rogue marketing forum' and now i must say i'm a little bit dissapointed that it isn't a rogue marketing forum because that sounds like a LOT more fun.

dropped by caa today and it was just like old times.
except now i don't feel remotely guilty that i'm talking to m2 and not getting any work done.
hung out in the kitchen rummaging through a massive bag of chocolate seeking the 'bounty bars'
(calm down m2 - i know america calls them mounds bars. but i refuse)
talked about our lives while she stacked the dishwasher.
every now and then i need those check-ins with the people that know me well.

saw a dead butterfly on my walk over the bridge today.
it seemed unfair. not right somehow that something so beautiful was lifeless.
i carefully picked it up and cast it over the railing of the bridge.
it floated down to the river.
i just couldn't leave it on the pavement and have it be trampled on.

time to head out
music city beckons
