Ahhh.. Finally...

So, obviously I have not been writing in you. I have to be in the right head space to write. So much has happened. A lot of you have been keeping up with my facebook, so you have a general idea. Long story short, my birthday was a blast, hung out with benicio del toro, went to liverpool geeked out on beatles stuff and danced all night, went to stonehenge and cried, and have been loving london. I know I know not the fun version... but its a version none the less... I'll go more into detail when I am in the right head space.

I just had an amazing walk outside by myself. I went to a great organic coffee shop just up the street, ate a salmon and spinich brioche tart and had possibly the best americano i've ever had. It is quite grey out, but it's nice.. nothing a nice jacket can't cure. It's Saturday so children were out riding bikes and there was a good amount of people at the shop. There is a park right accross the street from Louises apt... it's so nice. I sat on a bench for a while and just took everything in. It's been a long time since I've felt so content. I was so happy to just drink my coffee and watch other peoples dogs play while listening to my ipod. I have never seen such an epic doggy play session. No one walks their dogs on leashes.. they kind of just let them roam then gather on grass fields to let them have a no holds free for all of play. These dogs have it made. I am here. I had a very "I am here" moment last night. I went out to see this "gig" with Louise and some of her friends, who are now my friends. London is super into techno and dance music... sounds a bit lame but it's really not. I kind of get it. People just want to dance. There was a moment last night when I was dancing on a table (lots of people were) and a song I actually sort of liked came on.. i just sort of let myself go and looked around... and i thought "wow, this is really really different" ... Everyone was dressed "on trend" and so enjoying themselves dancing. It's damn near impossible to find a decent place to dance in the US.. or so I've noticed. They seem like a dime a dozen here. And you know whats great, the boys love to dance here! They don't just do it for an excuse to rub up on pretty ladies or to appease their girl friends, they do it because they love to dance. They are enjoying themselves just as much as the ladies are. .. It's great. I love a man that can dance.

I am listening to Grandaddy right now. Have you ever had those moments with bands where you all of a sudden rediscover them? I've had one of those recently. Can't get enough. It's quiet around the apt right now. Louise is having Louise time and straightening her room.. I'm just trying to stay out of the way. She really has been spectacular. I am so lucky to have such good friends. .. but anyway, I won't bore you with the obvious.. till next time xoxoxo

Well, look who that is... yeah I was obnoxious and took a picture.. someone had to.. I told him I wouldnt post it on facebook.. but he didn't make me promise anything about a blog...
