My 100th blog

This very special blog is dedicated to one of the most influential people of my lifetime.

This evening, Steve Jobs lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. 

He changed the world and made technology fun.

He reminded us all to never stop learning.

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life"

These Days

Thank You

Today I let you go
After months of arguing, making up, bickering, and lusting I closed the book on one of the great loves of my life so far.

Today my eyes overflowed with the frustration of failure

Today the adhesive that bonded you to my heart finally gave way...

You saw me for who I was.
You saw that beneath my outgoing and strong exterior there was a scared, fragile little girl, deprived of confidence and in desperate need of love.

You made me feel beautiful, and comfortable in my own skin.

You taught me that it was all right to be different and march to the beat of my own drum.

You showed me that after years of feeling inadequate and "less than" that I was indeed a strong person, deserving of something more.


I'll never forget your sad eyes, gentle hands, and ridiculous saunter.
...Your quiet confidence encapsulated within a shy, reclusive shell.

Every day with you was a gift
and every fight was a lesson
and for that, I have you say

Thank you.

Killing My Rock 'n' Roll

In the constant persuit

Every day, I wake up hoping that today will be the day that I find the point of it all.
Inspiration, Drive, Meaning, Tenacity...check.
One of these days it's all going to pay off
and if not, I'll die trying.
