lets do a photo throw back.


oh.college.

oh yes and....

Happy Earth Day.




throw something in the recycling bin, or go for a walk, turn off your lights and tv, read a book, listen to good music and wear your moccasin shoes and wooden earrings.


oh yes and listen to this... Make You Feel My Love. Bob Dylan.



the Adele version is pretty arite too. I like her.





When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

District Sleeps Alone Tonight

Recent obsessions are great.

Jack Johnson
Sing A Longs and Lullabies from Curious George


With friends G. Love, Ben Harper, Matt Costa, and Kawika Kahiapo, Jack has created something that is exactly what the doctor ordered. (If your ordering music to teach dance to [that is not Hannah Montana]). In my searches make modern dance appealing to third graders I stumbled upon jewel. I, of course, am late of the boat. Coming out early in 2006, somewhere when In Between Dreams blessed my ears....this has made better the little bit of a drab taste in my mouth after Sleeping Through the Static. It was Jack in his very best. Hippie dippie wonders like 3 R's and The Sharing Song teach little tykes good things about recycling and being nice to your friends. Not only will I use it with my little dancin toes, but for my very own pleasure.

Please Dabble.

Please

filly.

Upon my incessant searching for the perfect job for a dancer...I have stumbled upon a helpful little site. Although I dont live in the Philadelphia region...I do know some people/dancers down in that part. I present to you Dance Journal. A website for the dancer in Philly...it has reviews, auditions, jobs, photos, and everything you can think of dance related. Have a blast! Do your thang!

isaiah zagar

Myself being a fan of New Yawk, I have never been a dabbler in Philly. Although I hear from a little birdie that this man is amazing. Isaiah Zagar. A fella with a long white beard who creates beautiful murals through out the city. There is a documentary a brewin about his life called In A Dream. Even though I never even heard of this guy, or seen any of his work...after I saw the trailor I am compelled to see the documentary. Nothing like a good little movie to get you off your ass and do what you want I think. We all need that, and I feel like that is what this will deliver.



check it out. yo.

put it on my tab..



I am a huge fan of this movie, sometimes I think I may be the only one, but the soundtrack stole my heart and ears. All done by a little fellow named Sondre Lerche with a short visit from your friend and mine; Regina Spektor. I am a stupid hippie idiot that enjoys a man strumming on the guitar and singing diddies about love. My most very favorite is a tune by the name of My Hands Are Shakin....the lyrics are by far the most wonderful and profile worthy if ur feelin some love. And lets not forget the cover of "Let My Love Open the Door"

and how easy on the eyes is he? holy lord.

"My hands are shakin
from carryin this torch
from carryin this torch for you"

dis is hilarious




thanks bird!

noah and the whale

so freakin good.

Perhaps a couple months ago, you watched the "5 Years Time" video I posted. I exclaimed at how you could not be not happy whilst watching. And it is the truest information I think I ever did speak. Well, upon doing my favorite past time (stealing music from digital dreams) I have acquired Noah and the Whale; Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down. It is an incredible group of songs by the same men that had made me so very happy on a hot summer day. My very favorite is Give A Little Love. Doug Fink, Charlie Fink, Tom Hobden and Matt Owens deliver the album that I put on while I may be feeling a little bit down, it will give you that lift that we all sometimes need.

Peep their site...its sweet.


And also the album art is amazing...Although I can;t find the artists name. If you know it send it!

Enjoy!
