...i have been waiting for you.
happy monday.
spending time away from those you love really puts things into perspective. Saturday was my dads show at the eagles lodge, and it was so packed they had to stop letting people in. my mom is the events manager and puts together all the parties for the weekends and for holidays. this dingy place hasn't seen parties like this in years i dont think. sitting at a table with my brother, deb, michelle and brian, was almost surreal. i would catch myself being all encapsulated and shit. there are a lot of really beautiful things going on in my life right now, and things that have always been so precious to me. me bestest friend michelle has finally decided to tie the knot with a man that i truly adore and respect with all my heart. my brother is having a baby girl, they named it marina. sitting at the table sipping on tiny rum and cokes, i felt so lucky. my father rockin' so much ass on the stage with his band, and my mother be-boppin' around the party talking to everyone. i take after her so much, and i must say i dont mind a bit. the way she dances, talks to other people whether she knows them or not. i see myself in her and in my dad, such a beautiful combination. brian told me he loves my voice and would have a pleasure and be honored to record my music. something i take very seriously, mainly because the guy has recorded for some pretty incredible artists. its time to be confident in myself. im going to do what i want and not let anyones petty criticism stand in my way. (especially my own)
