Love is in the Air...
Hello wonderful friends! I hope all has been amazing as of late, and this blog finds you in incredible spirits and health both. I'm gonna have to apologize to those ones trying to reach me most recently via any form other than face to face. I've kinda fallen off of the planet most recently, to find myself in some galaxy of "frankness". Despite my efforts to reply to voicemails left on friends of friends cell phones, and my gmail inbox, I find myself feeling alittle bad for leaving some in the dark. trust me when I say that i know the world does not revolve around me. I do seem to be however, in my own world at the moment. Or maybe I'm just spacing out...earth to Frank? I read you loud and clear.
February. It's that time of the month.... red ribbons creatively flowing in and out of loops packaging some sort of token of affection from one significant other to another. Yes, it seems that valentine's day has found its way into 2006. The holiday of lovers. snuggling and sexing and sweet sweet nothings. reminiscing and kissing... that little guy cupid flying around with his semi-auto assault rifle full of some magical romantic ammunition. Leave your bullet proof vest at the dry cleaners - who doesn't want to get shot by cupid, in hopes that another will get hit along with you...
This year, my valentine's day plans are non-existent, for better or for worse. I refuse to be bitter and alone however. It is way to easy to fall victim on this heartful day... the commercials, sales, dates - snuggling, sexing, and sweet sweet nothings. I've got amazing memories of past valentine's - from kindergarten, where it was a day good for candy; to 2nd grade where you could safely reveal your crush; all the way to "adulthood" where its a great excuse to fine dine and get creative afterwards... I find it amazing how we designate one day a year for such things. this is partly why "Earth Day" never set right for me. I love our mother earth, and think she surely deserves more than just one day a year for us to clean up and give back. Thanksgiving - arguably one of my most all time favorite holidays. Why not always be thankful? Why not always eat a hearty meal? Thus, Valentine's Day - why not always show love? Love is beautiful... I say lovin' 365 days a year! Although at the moment i'm not specifically nor significantly involved with an other, I'd like to spread the love and wish you all - single and attached - a lovely Valentine's Day!
In lieu of this upcoming holiday, I'm completing a song I've been ignoring for way too long. It's called "Follow the Girl". There's a story behind it, but i think i'll keep it to myself for now. Although i've got a hectic day in front of me tomorrow, i might record a rough version of it tonight - if i somehow get that far i'll be sure to share it with you guys in an upcoming podcast that i've been meaning to create one sleepless night to be...
A smile or a wink
Maybe i'll miss it if i blink,
Just candid calculations for unusual situations...
Cheers to you all, and much love!
