You know that I'm no good...




I've been listeing to a lot of Amy Winehouse lately. I'll never forget the first time I heard her amazing, sultry, haunting voice.

I was over at my girl friend Kelly's apartment one winter night and she said she had to play something for us. She used to work for Virgin and got tons and tons of stuff in advance for free. So she played this girl for us, this phenom. I was totally blown away.

We used to use the word "Fuckery" on a daily basis :) We got to see her at Coachella that next year, which was utterly amazing. She played in a tent and everyone overflowed way outside of it yet were obviously captivated.


Nowadays all you hear from this lady is how much of a mess she is. It's really sad. She has such a talent, she has such a gift... it's all going to waste. It's heartbreaking to see. Back To Black is a masterpiece. No matter what happens in the future I'm glad I have this album to immortalize the tortured, soulful spirit of this woman.

Politics are sexy

I've never really had a full blown discussion with guy I'm dating about politics. BUT I am sorta-kinda-something with a boy in the navy... so politics came up tonight.

.....and I liked it!

I never appreciated how refreshing it is to have a stimulating conversation about things that are important. Especially with everything going on right now. My boy is smart, opinionated with a very good (and cute!) head on his shoulders.


I support men with good ideas who want to serve their community.

That is all :)

Life is grand!

So on Monday I started a new job!


I always knew I could make ends meet, with or without a college degree. I've done pretty well so far with that belief. Fun jobs, enough money to do a lot of the things I've always wanted to do, random adventures, tons of fun, the best memories... but not much to show for.

When I was in school, I did take a bunch of art classes. I learned to cast, learned to solder, learned basic jewelry trades.


Never did I imagine on those carefree, fun days in class with the girls that I could get PAID to do all of that fun shit... and here I am!

My job is production assistant to this jewelry company. I am going to be trained to do laser soldering, hopefully learning to set diamonds. I've been playing with all of the toys in the studio and it just makes me giddy out of my MIND! :) Finally a job that will go far and really makes me happy. The company is great and there's a lot of room to grow. My first project was $20k necklace dripping in diamonds! Insane... totally. But I love this! It's going to be great...


LOTS of great things ahead, I feel it, I know it, I love it. It always pays off to be positive! SEE! :)

LOVE!

Just a quarter life crisis...

So here I go again. Broke and square one... but currently hating the status of life.

Always I've dreamed of Hollywood. Glitz, glam, music, travel... etc.

But do I need to WORK in the industry for these perks? I've managed to acquire them without for so long... maybe I don't need to be here anymore.



I have so much to decide in my life right now.

TRV$/AM

I love my LA clubs. I love to dance. I grew up injecting Blink 182 into my veins... and I adore Travis and AM.

Saturday was my best friend's wedding and it was a tense and tragic day. I hate to say that celebrity lives impact me so much but they do often play huge roles in my life. Especially seeing how close I am tied into the industry.

God bless these men and I pray for their lost loved ones... so sad. :( It's a horrible thing to think about... a miracle they are both alive.
