Single Waiting

Along with the compositions of pictures that I think I was posting on Friday's, I want to try to upload some of the best covers I have found. So that's also mainly for me to put up more music because I love music. This cover is Jessie J singing Rhianna's "We Found Love". Might I add, it's a lot better than the original. Don't hate. Just listen. Now go find you some love and live on.

I dunno about you guys, but I have this weird thing in my brain where I see blogs and photography, and my brain doesn't stop searching everything on the pages.  I will literally keep on clicking link after link, and before I know it, I've reached the end of the road. I have a feeling that has come upon me once again with the likes of Sincerely, Kinsey . o1. the name is almost the cutest, invites you to keep looking o2. i also have a thing for photography pages that have extra packages. you know the ones that have added blogs, diy crafts, homemade recipes... keeps you lookin' fuh daysss o3. i was smitten by the first image i saw of engagement session by the colors alone o4. i'm easily influenced by great photography that i just want to get behind my camera and shoot everything i see that peeks my interest o5. when i see they have a pinterest/instagram account, you better believe i'm following this couple mastered cuteness. Hope yo...

You have probably heard this song on the Apple commercial. If not... where on Earth have you been?! No worries. I'll fix that for you. He's derived from England. Of course, why wouldn't a voice like this be from yonder... Seriously, most of the musicians I like are from Europe. It's just turned out that way and I'm okay with that. Being born in Spain makes me realize I'm just Euro-blooded and there is nothing I would want to change about that. So, what you've been waiting for; Willy Moon and the likes. His voice... I'm digging it. Not to mention that I'm a sucker for a great girl drummer that backs up male vocalists. Because then I think about how they probably beat out many dudes and were just THAT. DANG. GOOD. Jouir.

one day he’s gonna grab my hand and i will feel that surge of energy proclaiming to me why this was all worth the wait is this what was meant when they all say you’ll see sparks? i’m sure it’s not. i’m certain that was intended for those who lock lips to feel the electric surge of unanimity but me… no i’ll know what my electric charge is from years of waiting. years of tears. years of fears. years of knowing someone loves me back and once our fingers are interlocked, that makes that charge locked in igniting the very fibers of my soul that connect me to God Himself patience… yes, dear. he says. one hand cupped to my face patience paid itself off to you

captivated Heart it’s funny people’s definitions of love.  when i think of love, i think of simplicity. it is one of the most universal things, yet has become one of the most intricate forms of expressions for people to mix up their head and heart. they mix up their wants and needs of love. they want people to complete them, but they need them to love them as well. you’ve (cliche time) got to love yourself first. and even when you’re with someone, they aren’t going to complete you. people want to see grand gestures of affections or gifts for them to see that someone loves them. that is a loose statement. i’m not assuming everyone to be this way. little things.  sitting at the edge of a dock, swinging your feet over the ocean. having your hair move around your face like a storm and his one small gesture of moving the hair off your face and behind your ear is how i see deep admiration and respect. you have time to love people. stop rushing into everything...

in this moment, i will barely understand how much of a legacy God is mixing for me i see my life a lot like this jar, packed full of things to create an even more amazing thing but in that jar, i can’t see the whole picture. i see myself at the very bottom i feel mixed up at times. i feel vibrant other times. but in general, pretty mixed up once i’m combined with all of these different life lessons, i will still never be complete i will be in a continual learning lesson but one day… one day i’ll see how beautiful it was to be so mixed up to be on the bottom because then in time, i’ll see how much i appreciated the work it took to be perfectly blended by having those mixed up and questionable moments in my life

red nails i used to hate nail polish! i mean hate it primarily because my dad didn’t want my mom putting nail polish on my sister or me when we were babies. he wanted us to be little girls and all that jazz. i appreciated that gesture of his, because now i can’t stand seeing the little girls on toddlers and tiara’s being exploited as mini adult dolls. it’s freaky really. anyways, because i disliked nail polish and was a dedicated tomboy for a good portion of my preteens and part of high school, i knew i’d never be in any nail color aside from clear. anytime i went to dances in high school, i’d end up peeling it off by the end of the night. later in my 20s, i enjoyed my first mani-pedi and i wanted to steer clear of colour, but you spend the money and walk out with clear nails, you might as well do your own mani-pedi.  so i went daring. i went bold… i got a nice neutral pale pink colour. haha. don’t laugh. i was branching out. i felt any colour would draw attention ...

to describe this band in one word is nearly impossible for me. to describe them in several, i can try to contain myself. if you picture yourself on a beach at any point spinning on the balls of your feet like those cheesy sandals commercials.... this is how you feel when you listen to them.  in this case you're more interested in how you feel listening to them, rather than how you look listening to them. i'm sure all inhibitions are out of the window when you hear the awesome vocals of their raspy female lead. and the amped up percussion. a bass player that plays as much as an acoustic or electric guitarist is always something i'm happy about. more bassist need more front play. anywho, this isn't a new band, but for those of you who haven't heard of them, i give you givers.

oh boy! am i learning this everyday right now!  part of the reason i found myself in a terrible slump is because i feel like i’m going to fail.  will be a failure.  or am a sheer illusion of what i went to school for.  a fraud.  what will happen when people find out all those years at school on created me to be a professional student of fraud?  albeit, those are the thoughts that race through my wondering mind. all.  day.  long.

planning things in your head, hoping one day it happens i can plan and plan and plan, but if i’m not putting it to action, what good is planning? it’s just another way of having a checklist that isn’t getting any attention so things build up and never get completed. i had planned to have a steady job right now, not relying on my parents for funding. hasn’t happened. i had hoped to be dating or married by now, maybe with kids, and a sweet husband. none of it has happened. i planned to be living on my own. that’s not the case. i planned on being more independent. it never feels like that. i planned on traveling to different countries next year, but need a job now. in time. i had to sit back and pray about this. praying is still in progress, i am getting out of my frustrated, why me, stupid attitude. i’ve got to change those moments for myself. if a door shuts, it makes the opportunity for me to go to an open door that maybe i wouldn’t have noticed before. the pathwa...

if you can read french, congratulations! okay, okay, not that complicated, but the minimalist is all you need to know to read and understand of this simple title. a blog dedicated to the simplicity of life. the blogger resides in nashville and has an affinity for fashion and music and all things nashville. i don't have much else to say except that this is another blog that i'll find myself following on clicking on every other blog that is associated under their "bloggers i follow". the categories are under diy, my looks, late night snack, music, and the love of nashville. jouir de

burberry sessions i saw a video of hers some time last year and fell in love with awkward look. when i say awkward i don't mean it in a teasing way, i mean it uniquely. she has an interesting and lovely sound, as well as hair. c'mon, you know you kinda want her hair minus the management. :) lyrically, she sings poetry. if you're interested in another poet of music, listen to glen hansard. to me. he just get's it right. enjoy your double doses.

Check it! I have been slightly obsessed with these Under Armour commercials. It inspires me to watch it and then possibly challenge myself to full on fitness attack. One of these days I'll see it after I've finished pushing myself on a 5 mile run. Sure 5 miles may be a breeze for some people, but I'd like to get out there and then just run. Run as far as I bike. Breathing effortlessly. Running as if I'm running in the mountains of North Carolina. I dunno, just running. Not running away from anything, not running to anything, just running. it often makes me wonder what sport i could pick up at the age of 27 and be moderately, if not great at. i would desperately love to be on a soccer league. i played a bit for fun in high school but never joined the team. much like volleyball, but never joined the team. only took score.  always liked tennis... who really wants to be compared to two of the greatest black female tennis players and never come close? i don'...
