what's your true color?

Kate, your true color is Brown!

You're brown, a credible, stable color that's reminiscent of fine wood, rich leather, and wistful melancholy. Most likely, you're a logical, practical person ruled more by your head than your heart. With your inquisitive mind and insatiable curiosity, you're probably a great problem solver. And you always gather all of the facts before coming to a timely, informed decision. Easily intrigued, you're constantly finding new ways to challenge your mind, whether it's by reading the newspaper, playing a trivia game, or composing a piece of music. Brown is an impartial, neutral color, which means you tend to see the difference between fact and opinion easily and are open to many points of view. Trustworthy and steady, you really are a brown at heart.

wow, i sound old. lol. strange how all my artistic passion seems to be clouded by all my logic--cause this is actually pretty accurate.

anyway, go find out what yours is right here.

i love it when

you just happen to stumble over new music that you absolutely adore.

Breathe (2 AM)--Anna Nalick

2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
can you help me unravel my latest mistake,
I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason

'Cause you can't jump the track,we're like cars on a cable
and life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button girl,
So cradle your head in you hands
And breathe, just breathe,
Whoa breathe, just breathe

May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist,
Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year.
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him, maybe I'll just sing about it.

Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe, just breathe,
Whoa breathe, just breathe

There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout
But you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
These mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.

2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, its no longer
inside of me, threatening the life they belong to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to

Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
whoa breathe, just breathe,
oh breathe, just breathe.

in the raw

i'm very seriously considering changing my diet to about 80-90% raw.
i can picture a few of you scratching your heads and/or rolling your eyes, but i've been doing quite a bit of research on it. i find that since i'm working from home a lot and because i try to eat small meals throughout the day to keep my blood sugar even, recently i have just been eating too much food in general. and though i'm quite a healthy eater as most of you know, i feel that i may just not be getting enough satisfaction from the foods i am eating. or perhaps enough energy/physical necessities. like the foods i eat are mostly healthy, but perhaps not the "right" foods for my body and mind to operating at peak performance.
at any rate, i am planning to finish up what i have left of the perishable non-raw foods as i start to incorporate raw food recipes into my life over the next week. i'll let you know how it's going--it should certainly be interesting as several of my favorite foods (pasta, seafood, veggie meats, and um wine--gulp!) will be disappearing.
hmm, i wonder if i can still eat sushi...? oh no--the rice.... ah well. that's what the other 10-20% is for :)
anywho, say goodbye to those 5 smobriety pounds that i can't shake.
