Everyone is the age of their heart. ~Guatemalan Proverb
I am officially 22 today, but I am not quite sure about the age of my heart? Very thought provoking proverb there.....
I do know this to be true:
We turn not older with years, but newer every day. ~Emily Dickinson
Music, Mud and Madness!
Jazz Fest in New Orleans this weekend...just too many stories to share.
We danced in the rain, soaked to the bone, ditched the shoes and became one with the mud. It was the most free my spirit has felt in a while.
Dr. John livened the grey day with his upbeat sounds. And later in the wet evening, between all of his classic songs, Billy Joel busted out a version of "Singing in the Rain!" It was perfect, because that is exactly what all of us were doing.
By the time we left, we were all wading in water up to our waist. This led to the demise of several digital cameras and cell phones, but the memories created by our endless laughter will be forever remembered.
Some things to be taken away from this experience: Embrace the rain, new friends are easily made when you are sharing great music, pot will be present at every concert, and cell phones are not the most important thing in life!

Losing my Ground
Though she is far better known for her overplayed songs such as Fergalicious, Glamorous, and London Bridge, Fergie (Stacy Ferguson) has got some much deeper lyrics within her CD.
I think I have listened to this song about fifteen times today.........
Don't know what day it is
What's going on?
Is this real?
Oh no, no, no, no, no
I woke up short of breath,
But I've still got a long day ahead of me
I don't know what day it is
But tell me 'cuz I gotta know who to be
Is that me up in the mirror?
'Cuz I thought it was somebody else
Well it's a realization,
When you find out you don't even wanna look at yourself
Where do I go?
What do I do?
Who do I turn to?
I'm losing my ground
Who am I now?
Where does it end?
How did it all begin?
I'm losing my ground
Well, hit my feet,
It's time to hit the streets
And get my life back together again
Well, this place is all a masquerade
So tell me where in line can I cut in?
Downtown wandering aimlessly around
Still don't know what I'm tryin' to find
Well you could flash all the pretty lights in front of me,
I still won't see the signs
Where do I go?
Who do I turn to?
I'm losing my ground
Who am I now?
Where does it end?
How did it all begin?
I'm losing my ground
What do I do?
Why do I do this to myself?
Don't wanna go back there
