New Year’s is a big deal for me, whether I end up partying sufficiently or not. I just get swallowed up by how incredible it is to end something and begin something simultaneously and in the blink of an eye. The convergence of past and future, memories and plans, regret and determination. It’s not just about years and numbers and clocks and calendars. It’s an untouched sketchpad...

something around the corner
There are a lot of things in life that I want, but if I’m selling myself short right now for the sake of filling a void, then I’m only making myself less credible and less prepared to actually carry those things when they come. What if I kept fooling around with stupid boys because I felt lonely, and then the right guy came along and I missed him? What if I got in with the wrong crowd...

Why Was I Scared
Most of us have that thing that sends our pulses to a million beats per second. That thing we know we must do; we know we must confront it. We get caught up in it, dwell on it, tell ourselves stories about it, and then it becomes a monster. Whatever it may be - public speaking, crowds, performing, waking up perhaps.
I get incredibly nervous before singing on stage. But as soon as I’ve...

Spirit
Christmas is almost a week away and I still don’t feel the sought after holiday spirit. Why? Other than the fact that we’re missing the apropos white blanket of a Canadian December? Oh, and the fact that I currently work in clothing retail? Even if there was snow and I wasn’t a mall elf, I’m sure I wouldn’t have caught the spirit yet. Which leaves me feeling guilty,...

Time Is A Scary Thing
It’s scary because it’s so easily spent. We waste it. I waste it. Like crazy. And it’s such a shame, because there’s so much I could be that I am not, simply because I have poorly managed this gift.
Every moment is history. We all know it, but how often do we stop to think about all this entails for the quality of our lives? We all make mistakes. We all procrastinate, we...

I honestly don’t get how to use tumblr. But I’m sure I’ll catch on. Just like our moms and facebook.

I just signed up to sponsor a four year old from Ecuador. Looking forward to having this little man in my life. To do something outside of yourself is worth every penny! (click the title)
New Ink
Today I spent the afternoon in the shop, making a decision I may or may not regret in 50 years. (We’re all gonna grow old together anyways, tatts n’ all, so why not live it up?) I wanted to document it this time.. keep on a’scrollin for photos! Thanks to my creative and super rad cousin Andrea for coming up with the concept!
