Spill The Beans

I love Oxfam.
I really have no choice in the matter.
I have tried to want to do other things. When I was an intern at Imagewest (a student-run ad/pr agency) I wanted to fit in and believe that I wanted to work at an agency. I also tried to pretend that I wanted to always live [...]

WordPress is great, but it continues to confuse me.
I think I was smart at one point in my life.
I would like to take a break from “fiddlin’” with my blog to make a profound statement. And here goes:
I do NOT have an iPhone.
Whew, glad I got that off my chest.
And guess what? I’m ok with [...]

This will be short.
BUT 
Let me just say that I continue to be amazed by the talent around me every day. Recently I found myself in the presence of another awesome (and humble) artist. Check out his website. Its a lot of fun.
And lets face it, you have nothing better to do. I mean, what?

I get confused about what I want a lot of times.
I mean, obviously I want to maintain my existence and I want to have money in my bank account and I want to have friends.

I’m currently trying to “redecorate” my blog. 
But I’ve never been super crafty. And I have the attention span of a labrador retriever.
So I decided to write a new post instead to fill you in on my life and times.
I”m exhausted. The end.
Just kidding! Get it? Its funny b/c I made you think I was done [...]

I like talented people.
I guess the world does really. How else would the likes of lil wayne and carrot top become so great otherwise?
Please take a moment to enjoy the above sarcasm.
But seriously, I am fascinated by artistically talented people. Those who walk among us that can turn spilled coffee beans into art or throw [...]

As I have mentioned before (and I reiterate simply because I know you aren’t listening), I am surrounded by a lot of “hidden” talent in this small town.
Especially at the coffee shop.
I guess a prerequisite for working at a coffee shop is having some sort of uniqueness about yourself. And lemme tell ya…my co-workers are [...]

Alright folks, I’m about to get up on my soap box.
Well, actually, its more like a coffee box. But whatever.
I complain a lot. We’ve been over this. But I complain about things that I actually do something about (well, unless I”m complaining about the sorry drivers that live in my town).
I’m ok with complaining that’s [...]

I’ve been listening to the song “Breathe” by Alexi Murdoch lately.
Never heard of it? Not surprised. I heard it at a colour guard show. 
It basically haunted my musical brain waves until I found it. It was quite an elusive song. But the internet is an amazing stalker.
Anyway, I’ve basically had it on repeat. The song [...]

Part of me wakes up every day thinking that something amazing is going to happen in the next 12 hours. Some extraordinary phone call, some flash of genius thought or even some random act of kindness. 
The other part of me brushes her teeth, combs her hair and wonders what the weather is going to be [...]
