Come on! Remember who you are! Remember! Remember!
You know I used to hate the winter and the fall because it would make me depressed and I hate the rain. But somehow this year, I'm calm about it. I sit here in my huuugeee comfy Incubus sweater from the Crow era, and I have my hot chocolate with tiny marshmallows and I think to myself what has happened over this past year. I turned 21, I don't remember most of my birthday at all. Ha. In February I am talked into breaking out of my little shell I was in and travel for the first time to see the Division Group. A lot of shit happened, a lot bad, but I am nothing but grateful for it. My father grew gravely ill. We almost lost him, thinking about it, just looking back upon it all, I cannot believe I pulled through it. Then Tempe and Edgefest happened. Then I went to Colorado and was able to see the bigger picture for the first time in 21 years and now my heart is there. Then Bimbo's happened and Incubus reminded me of just why they changed my entire life, with a face melting, soul lifting, ass rocking performance in a teeny jazz club in San Francisco. Then by some force we end up at an afterparty and I finally get to meet him. I tell him of how his band and words change my life and we connect. it made me feel amazing. Now I read the lyrics to the full album of Light Grenades and listen to the clips and I'm literally rendered speechless. Right or wrong this year has been nothing but a learning experience for me. I will never forget 21, not many people do, they are like YAY 21 bitches, I'm legal. But that's not what this year signified to me. I'll sum it up in this. "Resist! Unlearn! Defy! Get out from under precipice and see the sky!" Which is exactly what I did this year. I wouldn't trade it. Everything is an important experience that led me to now...When I fall into regret, I stumble with the words...And the end of the year is going to be so amazing. Light Grenades on November 28th, Christmas season! Then FUCKING THEATRE TOUURRRRR! Oh it's going to be glorious, then come summer. Man, it's going to be incredible. I'm so thankful for everything, truly. If the hardships that transpired this year, didn't, I would have never found out how strong I am, and I would never have finally FINALLY been at peace with who I am. Hmm. I leave you with this.
We’re given a garden
& gave back a parking lot. (we got about fifteen minutes to go…)
Before this audience starts throwing tomatoes, yeah! (it’s not the end, there is more show!
We got about fifteen minutes to go!)
Survived the plague, floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud. No one’s immune, deadening bells,
My God, will we survive ourselves?! I’m not an alarmist
but someone should break the glass (& pull that red, T-lever down!)
to get their attention
start lobbing the light grenades (that burst & blind them with the truth,
an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!)
