Hey you guys! So here is footage from my very first zinefest, last weekend. My amazing room-mate Benjamin Wilson took all the footage and sat with me for a million hours at my both and edited this and put music that I love into it! Thank you a million times over Benjamin!
I normally don't post these types of things here, but I really enjoyed this video, and gained a lot of fashion-inspiration from watching it, things I wouldn't normally pick out for myself I think I could use in my wardrobe after watching this. I really like the music as well, even if it's a bit repetitive.
Here is one of my favorite love songs of all time, the first time I heard it was from my friend Bryant-boo, he sent it to me when I was requesting people's favorite love songs. I'm eternally grateful for that email, because this song is so incredible.
Well I didn't realize this until today, but I was featured on a blog that I check up on from time to time 'Bits and Bobbins' [http://bitsandbobbins.com/2009/05/28/wardrobe_remixers-o-the-week-94/ ]. She featured an outfit I wore awhile ago when I was still living in st. paul, I wore this out to one of my favorite pubs the Triple Rock, it's fun to be featured on websites for my outfits or whatever, I'm super flattered, especially to be amoung such other well dressed women/men.
I've been getting back into taking more outfit photos again, here is a sampling of what I've been wearing lately, if you don't follow my flickr feed:
So I saw this post from Sarah [ http://pointclickenjoy.blogspot.com ] a few days ago, and I was blown away by the post/monologue/film. I told ben about it and he downloaded it to his computer and me him and Liz watched it the other day, we cracked up a lot, and the this last bit in the movie is so true and so beautiful, I was really feeling it when I originally read the post on Sarah's blog, but it fits in with the movie well.
"It always fascinated me how people go from loving you madly to nothing at all, nothing. It hurts so much.
When I feel someone is going to leave me, I have a tendency to break up first before I get to hear the whole thing. Here it is. One more, one less. Another wasted love story.
I really love this one.
When I think that its over, that I'll never see him again like this... well yes, I'll bump into him, we'll meet our new boyfriend and girlfriend, act as if we had never been together, then we'll slowly think of each other less and less until we forget each other completely. Almost.
Always the same for me. Break up, break down. Drunk up, fool around. Meet one guy, then another, fuck around. Forget the one and only. Then after a few months of total emptiness start again to look for true love, desperately look everywhere and after two years of loneliness meet a new love and swear it is the one, until that one is gone as well.
There's a moment in life where you can't recover any more from another break-up. And even if this person bugs you sixty percent of the time, well you still can’t live without him. And even if he wakes you up every day by sneezing right in your face, well you love his sneezes more than anyone else's kisses. "
So I told you it was making a come back, and here it is for the 2nd week in a row. How excited are you, how excited am I! I've been getting pretty excited about a lot of things lately I've been finding myself saying that a lot, which is kind of weird because this weeks song is so depressing.
But it's my latest masterpiece, I think I finally did it, this is by far one of my most favorite songs I've ever written, and in part it's because it's so sad, and sad songs are some of my favorite songs, but I was able to get all of the emotions I've been feeling out into a song, it was soo cathartic and halfway through writing the song [ I wrote a verse every couple of days] I started feeling better/different about the whole situation, so in that way it was a bit difficult to finish it with the same momentum that I had when I began it, but it was an incredibly lovely head-space to be in and realize that my music/friends/atmosphere and what's been going on lately with myself is really helping me cope and get through this, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now, where before I just felt like this song, and in a deep dark hole.
So with all of that said here is this weeks song:
It's called "Undo", I didn't really know what to call it, but this idea came to me, because I replied to a friend's email and said something about the breakup but in my emotional haze didn't realize I was sending this so more than just her, so when I did I sent an email back simply saying "undo", kind of an embarrassing story, but oh well, tis my life.
I hope you can take the song for a listen, and I will hopefully have something more upbeat for next weeks song!
Drawing, and doodling are a great pleasure of mine - as are many other things, I have a million hobbies and interest and this is where I will tell about them!
