1. Choosing your friends wisely is only half the process. The other half is creating those relationships.  It doesn’t happen by itself.

2.  Just because you trust someone unfortunately doesn’t mean they are trustworthy.

3.  Taking a compliment is really hard!  Why is that?

4.  Sydney Rose’s driving is improving; however, consider it a public service announcement that she still hasn’t passed her driver’s test.

5.  This is by far my favorite semester of college.  Everything I’m learning is useful!  Hmmmm. Learning for the sake of acquired facts and to get a grade, is no where near as satisfying as being able to actually apply new knowledge and get results.

6.  Ventura really does Rock!  I love how our community rallies around special causes.

7.  Playing it safe may be sound, but I finally realized a couple of years ago that life is so much more fun when you take chances, and you have to actually be willing to lose sometimes; because if you don’t take  chances, you’ll never win.

8.  Girl’s Dress Night Out could actually catch on.  “She’s got legs, she knows how to use them.”

9.  I was unfriended this week. That kind of stung!  See #1 and #7.

10. Thank God I’m basically a happy person!

1.  Did you know that I have the ability to communicate with anyone on any subject?  Kind of fun.  Just ask Staci Brown.

2.  I have come to terms that I really love men.  Which kinda sucks.

3.  There comes a point in your life where you stop bending over
backwards for that certain person and you start bending forward…so
they can KISS YOUR ASS!  (author unknown).

4.  Completing those small projects so opens up one’s ability to take on more responsibility.   Bring it on.

5.  Oh! By the way, Fuck you cancer. Leave my friends alone!

6.  Sydney Rose is about the cutest thing in the whole wide world when I
come home from work and she’s making me dinner…wearing an apron.
Trust me, I’ll capture a picture of her wearing it one of these days.

7.  I couldn’t shoot hoops for almost two weeks with acute bronchitis.
(mock up Roseanne Roseannadanna voice)  “I thought I was gonna die.”
Back to it now and getting my three-pointers back.

8.  Looking forward to starting school on Monday again; four nights a week is going to be rough (see #4).

9.  We’ve been going out a lot more “shaking hands and kissing babies”
and the response to VenturaRocks.com has been completely gratifying.

K, thanks for listening.

Me and Sydney

(originally posted on Faceback December 27, 2012)

1.  2012 was not the best of…nor was it the worst of years.  But it’s one
of my favorites because I’ve made a lot of new friends who have
enhanced…and some who have challenged me.  Both have made me a better
person.

2. The whole dating thing is over-rated.  If I keep saying this over and over, it’s bound to come true…one of these decades.

3. I’ve learned to never slow dance with a man wearing cologne. It’s
like he’s marked his territory because you smell like him the rest of
the night.  Ick.

4. I have to say, that Sydney Rose is pretty funny. I love how my friends have all embraced her.

5. Two more classes this semester starting mid January.  Accounting and
Photography.  Since I’m thinking both classes will be applicable, they
should be fairly easy, no?

6. Clipper Nation!!!

7. Never for a second think you will NOT have an opposing force when you
want to do something/anything to better your community.  YOU ALWAYS
WILL!!!  Stick to your guns, rally the troops, and git ‘er done.
Ventura has a lot of musical talent, and amazing venues to showcase
them.  Let’s keep the momentum going.

8.  New Year’s resolutions?  Lose weight?  Stop smoking?  Someone not too long ago said
to not loose the caboose.  And I quit smoking over 20 years ago.  I
think this year will be all about finally making VenturaRocks.com a
viable entity.    It will not only help Eve and myself with supplemental
income, but it will help benefit our town and our music community by
helping to get the word out and people into the venues to support the
arts.

1.  I finally confronted wearing a dress again.  Other than the “Are you
going to a funeral?” question, and the small hole in the back of my
tights, it wasn’t so horrible.

2.  I forgot how confusing dating can be.  Me thinks I’m still not ready.

3.  Sammy is starting to slow down. This makes me sad.

4.  I got the best compliment from my daughter ever!  And she didn’t
even know it was a compliment!  The other night going to different
venues for music.  I asked her about her old friends, and she said, “Why
do I need friends when I have you!”

5.  I love this town even more.  But I tell you what, getting people out to support our music scene is no easy task.

6.  I think I’m coming to terms with geekdom.  I’m taking the day off today to study for finals, and I’m alright with that.

7.  You’d think I would have stopped shooting hoops by now.  Over a year and half in…I love it even more!

8.  Ok, ok, ok…I’ve put it off long enough.  I’m hitting the books.  Going for that “A” in math.
