Jealous Girlfriends

Last night I saw Nada Surf, Delta Swift and The Jealous Girlfriends. They played at the Fineline... I would like to say, that I fell back in love with music last night. Since I have become a mother, so many things have been put on the back burner for me. My creativity: love of music, painting, photography. I stopped really taking time to induldge in the things that I love.

The Jealous Girlfriends have brought out that musical beast again... and I love it! I cannot get enough of YouTube, scouring for the those unfound treasures, like The Jealous Girlfriends. They brought to life apart of me that has been suffocated for so long!
When I was younger I could spend hours on end in record stores, writing fanzines, and overall being a music geek. I was the girl that was moved to tears, always in the back, just breathing in the music. I wasn't hardcore on the outside, but it was who I was. Slowly that fizzled until it became nothing. So I am welcoming that part of me back tonight. I think you will be seeing me at the Fineline, First Avenue and were ever else I can get my grubbly little paws into to rekindle the love that I once had for music.

Spencer D "If you could change anything about the music industry, what would it be?" Nada Surf's Matthew Caws "Eliminate everything but college radio, record stores and concert halls."

Perfect.

My first blog

Okay, here we go. This is my first blog, and I do not have much to say.

Today was Thanksgiving, and I had a wonderful day with my family. My daughter has taken

quite a liking to her Uncle Tony today. They danced and "wrestled" (or as Kennedee said, she ticked his nose.)

I am heading into a good place in my life. I can feel something changing inside of me. My thoughts are different, my tastes are different, my wants and needs are different.

I turn 30 next year, and while I am not

scared for this time of my life, it is possible that I am apprehensive as to what to expect.

I think I am finally coming to terms with who I am and who I want to be. These people are two VERY differnt people. So here I go...changing who I am, into who I want to be. Who I think my true self is.
Where do I begin? There are so many possiblities and so many questions that I have.
How does one go about re-inventing themself?
Though I have no issues with who I am, I do know that I want more.
