J’veux ton amour
Et je veux ton revenge

I am so excited for the holidays!!!

Last night we saw Paranormal Activity. Admittedly, I was a little freaked out. I don’t think I handle horror movies too well, and I can truthfully say that there were more than a few scenes that made my jaw drop. I will definitely have trouble sleeping when I get back home to my creepy house - that’s a given.

We saw Honor Society tonight at Backbooth. They were amazing and definitely put on a great show. I would love to see them again sometime. 

Loving this hat to death. Need it, want it, must have it.

Tonight I’m going to go see Paranormal Activity.. I might pee my pants, considering that even the commercials for it scare me. 

I’ve been thinking a lot about winter lately. There are so many things I’m excited to do come Christmas time. I can’t wait to go outside and play in the snow and hum insanely catchy songs that only come once a year. Whenever I think about winter, it’s always a cozy feeling.

I’m ready to grab my faux fur jacket and venture out into a winter wonderland.

A few things I’m excited about this season:

Music: During the Winter I like to listen to a lot of mellow music. This includes Copeland, Death Cab For Cutie, Dashboard Confessional, Sufjan Stevens, Damien Rice. I can’t wait to pull out my seasonal playlist, it always goes with my mood perfectly.

Movies: I love love loveee the movie “Elf,” I am definitely excited about pulling that flick from the vault, along with “Home Alone” (only the original), “a Christmas Carol”, and then of course my Tim Burton Movies: “Nightmare Before Christmas” and “Corpse Bride.”

One thing I’ve learned is kindness is absolutely free. It doesn’t cost a cent. And once you can grasp that concept, the world around you becomes a better place. Compliments take only a second and good deeds are priceless.

My family always goes out to brunch on Sundays, we go to a really nice hotel on the waterfront. It’s perfect there, even on the worst of days. Every Sunday I see a man in his 50s taking his mother, who must be in her 90s out to brunch. She is obviously in assisted living at a nursing home. Many “kids” stick their parents in these places and forget about them, and never visit. I think that is one of the saddest things in our society. That is why seeing this man take out his mother every Sunday is one of the most beautiful things I see.

Today is “dia de los muertos,” its a holiday to celebrate the lives of those lost. This goes along with kindness. I lost a very good friend of mine a year ago, he meant a lot to me. I remember wishing that I could have been around more as a friend, there’s nothing I can do now, but what I have learned is cherish the people who are close to you NOW. That way you can never regret it later.

I’m really intrigued by this picture. I photographed a party a few weeks ago in Boston. I don’t know their names, and I probably couldn’t recognize them on the street- but the picture says it all, and that’s all you need to know.

Halloween was a success. I wasn’t much into going out tonight, but I did spend some time at home with a few close friends. We watched the classic Halloween movies (hocus pocus, nightmare before christmas, donnie darko) and even a few black and whites. My teeth may very well fall out in the morning because of all the sugared goodies I consumed tonight. But hey, it’s halloween, when else can you eat junk and feel COMPLETELY ok with it?

“Love is just a word, until someone comes along and gives it meaning.”

I couldn’t be any happier with my boy. I’m really excited to see him next week.
