Happy First Day of the Last Month of the Year

Where did 2009 go??!! It seriously flew by in the blink of an eye.

I can't believed that I moved out of the crazy person filled haunted house a year ago. I used to live right across the street from where Anne Rice wrote Interview With a Vampire. Life is so much better when you can sleep through the entire night and not be disturbed by loud trucks, people or ghosts. Life has been better with more sleep and more me time. I have taken to liking to it.

I can tell you that this year has been full of getting to know myself again. It has been a year of facing myself which I can promise you is not easy but most of it has been fun. Wait does that even make sense?

Yes, learning at any stage can be difficult and fun at the same time.

Last Years Sweater

Last year I made this purple sweater for my friends two year old.
I started a sweater for my self about six months ago.......I hope to finish within the next two months. It is soooo much larger then a little kids sweater. Of course I chose to do more of a "designer" pattern for myself then a "knit top down". Next time I am sticking to the "knit top down" and just use crazy colors to make it interesting.

Jazz

The only type of music that i can listen to lately and truly enjoy is jazz. Specifically the likes of Billie Holiday , Ella Fitzgerald and Etta James . All other music pales in comparison.

I need to acquire more of their music as i have worn down the three cd's that I have. However I have found a plethora of their music streaming online which has helped A LOT.

I find it interesting the different types of music that I am drawn to at different points in my life. For a while it was dub-reggae, then classical and always jazz.

Friday the 13th

Summed up in Wikipedia-

The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia, a word derived from the concatenation of the Greek words Paraskeví (Friday), and dekatreís (thirteen), attached to phobía (fear). The term triskaidekaphobia derives from the Greek words "tris", meaning 'three', "kai", meaning 'and', and "deka", meaning 'ten'. the whole word means three and ten. The word was derived in 1911 and first appeared in a mainstream source in 1953.

I think that it is amazing that a certain day and a certain number have such an affect on people. Apparently injury incidents are actually lower on Friday the 13ths because of peoples fear. Industry actually looses loads of money on these days.

What is it really all about?
It is just a number and a day.

Maybe it was the impact of the terrifying movie that came out.
But there were only 12 of them which baffles me even more.

Is this thing on?

Been a while.
Will write more if this thing is on.

Hello Hello?

Life = Music

Finally the fun filled music season starts!! Who when where is never clear but it is always an exciting time seeing live music. Last weekend I went to the Bottom of the Hill to see Say Hi. That band which only constists of two people this time blew me away; a drummer, a mixer and the lead guitar/singer. Such wonderful energy and lyrics!

Tonight I am off to Fairfax (of all places) to see Andre Nicotina. Sort of strange that he is not playing in Oakland, which is where he is from .....I think. but should be a fun filled evening.

More fun music to come next month!!
