so here's the deal

i wanna learn.







about


me.

away

i want to go away with you

i want to feel
your arms wrapped around me
your lips placed gently on mine
your hands softly embracing
every
inch
of
my
body

i want to go away with you

i want to get lost
in thoughts of you
in what the future holds
in all that this moment is
in every
inch
of
your
body

i want to go away with you

i want to forget
lost time
and get lost in time

with
you

i want to go away with you
if only i could find you

crazy going slowly am i... 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

not writing has stifled me...

creatively, conceptually and in the every day

putting pen to paper is an outlet i need to take more advantage of whether the words fit and the pieces of the puzzle come together or not... what's important is getting it out...

one
word
after
the
other

let new words slip off tongues overwhelmed with possibility

let the writer write and see what happens...

stay tuned.

she's baaaack...

currently listening to - sara bareilles - city

quite fitting, the music playing in the background

i'm back...

in the city i love,
on this blog,
in my determination
passion
goals

this all may sound cheesy but i've been giving a lackluster performance up until now and this latest trip to nyc is proving to be a bit eye-opening

i have a lot to do and i'm not getting it done by staring at blank screens, watching television, filling my evenings with nothingness... the way to achieve what it is i want to achieve is by being active and engaging
not stagnant

don't get me wrong, it's not like i'm doing nothing, it's that i'm just getting by... going through the motions... nothing EXTRAordinary - which i know i'm capable of (i'm also very modest)

so here goes - new york, freshen me up and make me new again...

so far i've enjoyed people watching near central park, dinner with old nyu friends, an interesting broadway show that was NOT a musical and now... a fluffy white bed, pad and paper, tunes and 9 pillows... yes, 9.

here's to the next 4 days... lets see what it brings

film appreciation

do people who live in new york enjoy/appreciate films that take place in new york?

i saw this in the movie store tonight and wanted to rent it... there weren't any left... it's now on my list

525,600 minutes...

with less than 7,000 minutes left (no, i'm not THAT much of a fanatic, they have the countdown on their website) until RENT closes on broadway after a 12 year run, i get a little overwhelmed every time i think of that final curtain call

although i'm a little sad that i won't get to see the final performance at the nederlander theatre, this play and all that comes along with it, will forever be a part of me (cheesy but true) when something resonates with you as strongly as this play does for me, you can't help but watch it over and over... if you haven't yet, do yourself a favor and pick up the movie - although i'll admit it's not the greatest way to watch the stories of angel, collins, roger, mimi, joanne, maureen and mark unfold, it's better than never having seen it at all.

there was a pretty good article in the globe and mail yesterday about the closing and about the show and jonathan larson (a story of it's own) - check it out if you have any interest (i know there must be a few of you out there who like to sing along to seasons of love)

i know for most of you, you won't understand the attachment i have to this play and it's beyond you to think - how the heck could someone see the same damn play 7 times over?... simple, the message that it brings with it and the energy it invokes, is mesmerizing - not to mention i have a personal attachment to the storyline and the themes that go along with it

that being said, we can all relate to the story line - those who have been touched by AIDS and those who have not... the message remains simple...

no day but today

the king... er... queen?

the crowd roared, the lights dimmed and there she stood

i must admit i might have been a little skeptical about going to the celine dion concert but i grew up listening to the woman and she's one of my mom's favourites so alas, i made my way down to the ACC with hundreds of other mother daughter teams

she was phenomenal. i can't lie.

she put on a great show and man can she sing

i've been to quite a few concerts in my life and love live music and never have i seen standing ovations like i did tonight and people just in awe of her coming out on stage without having said a word - up on their feet

somehow, seeing celine dion perform makes me think about what it would have been like to have seen elvis - personally, i think she might have given him a run for his money
