Looking back at 2011

looking back on 2011, now that in my time zone is little over 2 hours left of this year, I can truly say it has been a blessed year for me.

I got to know a lot of amazing ladies and lads, and even reconnect with a few of the old ones I had lost contact with over the years.

I am thankful for everything 2011 has brought me, and for each and every single person that 2011 has brought into my life, one way or the other. Good and bad. I feel like I have learned from my mistakes, and have grown as a person, because I came to know you all. There is truly nothing I could have wanted more in my life this year. I am a better person because all of you, and I treasure each and every moment that we spent together giggling or holding hands, trying to show support, and give each other strength.
I can not express in words what all of you mean to me, because all the words, in all the books, in all the world do not hold the power to contain what I feel. It’s strange, but also very familiar. My mind is boggled, because I would have never expected to meet so many amazing people in my life, and the love and support you have always shown me is something I will never forget. Not even when I’m old and grey, and most likely have memory problems and forget what my name is without having someone to tell it to me!
I will always remember all the amazing things 2011 brought into my life, and I can only hope that some of you feel the way I do.
What I wish for 2012 to bring is that, even if the world ends or not, to be able to spread some of that love and support, love and light over the cloudy skies of others, and make them feel like they can do anything they set their minds to, if they want it bad enough. The love that was shared with me, even if maybe at times I was obnoxious, was, and forever will be something angels set over me, to help me through a bad hair cut… or, a broken spirit… And everything in between.
Words will never be enough, but that is my new years resolution. I wish to spread all the amazing things I received to other people too. As the waves of our lives wash 2011 away, and bring ashore the new year, I can proudly say that ( some of you might not understand this reference, some of you will) because of you, I can walk up to a stranger, and tell them they are beautiful, so we can share a moment of pure joy and love together.
I bid you a good night,
and a Happy New Year.

I leave you with this – a song about power, love, and courage to live. A song that I sing every time I feel down, a song that always was an extended hand, helping me up from my knees when I was on rock bottom.

 

 

Jake Coco and random ramblings about how he knocked the air out of my lungs this morning

photo from the Re-Defining Love album photo shoot

Pretentious music nut, reporting for duty.

Okay. Here’s the deal. I knew who he was and what he did for a living for a while now, but I guess that I never really listened before. I don’t know what stopped me from doing so. I guess my predisposition to get intoxicated with other kinds of music played a part in it.  So, then I ask myself again – Why not sooner? It was supposed to be this way for some reason. Maybe because my last day of the year is a little more special than those that were, before.

 

Jamie Afro on X-Factor

Now, to my understanding, this happened A VERY LONG TIME AGO. Eons in the Entertainment business. I just had to share it, because it kinda… sorta BLEW ME AWAY!

I KNOW FOR A FACT

That PUB SINGERS are way more talented than many actual singers. I have loads of friends that SOUND SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL ARTISTS when they sing a song. Some, eventually get a break, and start doing what they love professionally, but many of them just remain ‘pub singers’ …It’s a shame, really, because there are people out there that are wildly talented, and nobody is looking to promote them. Entertainment today is all about boobs, and who’s shagging who, and who went out on a drinking rampage where. It makes me sad.

(a.n – The article linked above ^^ is really funny! I think everyone who heard gossip/rubbish about the subject should go read that. Apparently their site crashed due to the popularity of this article. I can see why )

I love this song, and this guy just made me love it even more!

edit: The crowd was amazing, the dude was fucking brilliant!!!!! and I think Simon jizzed in his pants.

My Morning in Pictures

I shrunk the pictures to a reasonable size so I can save space on my blog’s storage. I hope you guys don’t mind. Also, all the photos are taken with my Samsung Galaxy S5660 Gio Black device.

Enjoy!

I loved words. I love to sing them and speak them and even now, I must admit, I have fallen into the joy of writing them. — Anne Rice

 

Boyce Avenue’s Christmas gift to their fans

Okay, so. They have a new Official Video.

This is the stuff Awesome is made of. The video is great, and the song is the very first song Alejandro _[1] ever wrote.

well… At least so far.

EPIC #FIAL!

 

Christmas Surprise, Snowed In For The Holidays!

Okay, so … Santa’s sad… Very sad.

Santa is so sad...

He really wanted to give you all some really great presents this year, but his elfs are a bunch of sloths, and he won’t be able to get to y’all until after 1st of January

He instructed me NOT to give away the surprise. But once he has all the presents he needs for all of you, he’s going to jump on his magic sleigh, and come straight to me!

Patience is a virtue, my dear readers. Santa loves you. We both ask that you don’t get mad at good ol’ Saint Nick.

Happy Holidays!
