duh nile


so, yes. i've got ocd (a little bit) and i've been loving on esthero mad hard for about six years. i've worn out her brilliant debut album "breath from another," time and again. i've given it away, had it stolen, and shared it with the world in as many opportunities as i could. that little piece of plastic right there brought me so much joy, comfort, magic, beauty for years on years. as much as i listened to it (almost daily for 6 years remember), i never got tired or bored. anywho. i was pissed like a chicken's liver when she never performed in atl and then dissapeared from the music scene all together. she's amazing and the album is just plain musical gold.

and now she's come out with this new hotness of beauty. so for a sista with no job and no known income, i made a daring move and got a $15 ticket for her seattle show. sometimes i just gotta make sacrifices. and this my friends, was one of them. so i was fine. ready. willing and thrilled to see my girl perform her perfection.

and then today. my hot ass, trying to be grown, changing my ticket and stuff, done gone and changed my departure ticket for sunday, only to remember that my dream concert is happening IN SEATTLE TOMORROW. well damn! damn! damn!

for all those who know and enjoy my freespiritedgypsynomadic self, i'm learning more and more the importance of planning, balance, forethought, vision. there are no mistakes, yes it's true, but i've got to really remember to think a little bit farther before trotting off into the sunset.

wut the hell is all i can say right now. i got the lesson right this time. i just can't believe i'm going to miss esthero in the process.

grumblings of growth,

love and irritation,

l.
