SPILLED COFFEE ALL OVER MYSELF AT WORK TODAY. then met the owner of our company.
“Hi, I’m new…if you couldn’t already tell.”
a lived well life
As I look through my recent blog posts, I realize that I spend a lot of my time with live music. Sounds about right. I hope you, the reader/looker, have enjoyed blurry photos and inaudible 30 second song clips!
For this post, I wanted to get philosophical (hence the title) but I’m not sure if I have it in me. Big week coming up filled with job interviews, post graduate tests, and #4 ranked TCU Horned Frogs on ESPN’s College Game Day. Not sure if I can pull together enough brain power to tackle the feelings I want to right now. I’ll do my best.
Deuteronomy 31:6
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
In short:
Keep your head up when others say you fail. Believe in yourself and who you are. Do not succumb to what the world will lead you to believe is “right”. Hold passion for everything you do, and if you’re not passionate about it- why do it? In all things, stay focused.
Focus on your faith because at the end of the day its the only thing that will not dissolve due to the financial markets, or lie to you, or fall in love with someone else, or steal your new sun glasses, or move to Reno for 6 months so it can divorce Don Draper.
Remain patient. Know when to make your move. If you’ve kept focus then it will be the best move possible.
Above all things, live life. It is an adventure after all.
Sports games, white water rafting, hiking with my sister, falling in love, falling out of love, being close to winning but still losing something you’ve wanted for a long time, anxiety. These are all things that make me know I’m alive.
Proverbs 3:5-6
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”
Wilco - Dallas, TX 10/09/09
Until Pavement starts playing shows next year, Wilco is far and away my favorite band. Last night was my second time to see them live and it was phenomenal. Jeff Tweedy and the gang always do a great job of rocking the venue and entertaining the audience.
Basically, they play enough loud music to entertain the male hipsters (wearing either plaid or a beard) but balance it out with enough witty banter and chill tunes to please the girlfriends in the audience (no single girls go to Wilco shows).
Here’s a FUN video of Jeff swapping shirts with an audience member.
And here’s a great video of possibly my favorite Wilco song.
Also if you look below, I uploaded some songs live last night. Sound quality is pretty horrible.
