a little Friday inspiration. a must need.

Take chances, take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way it should be.  My mistakes make me who I am. You learn and grow with each choice you make.  Everything is worth it.  Say how you feel, always.  Be you and be happy with it.  

As am I................. HAPPY!

Inspiration

The embodiment of youth in the 1960s, the hippie subculture proved to be one of the most influential and proactive groups in American history. Shaping the face of music, culture, and politics in the 1960s and beyond, their wave of protest and fresh ideas has become a standard for youth all over the world. Producing some of the most famous quotes pertaining to peace and music, hippie quotes are forever ingrained in the lexicon of peace, youth, and revolt. This is my inspiration towards life, attitude, love and now style.  

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"

-Jack Kerouac

I always tell the girls, never take it seriously, if ya never take it seriosuly, ya never get hurt, ya never get hurt, ya always have fun, and if you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends. 

-Penny Lane 

I do my thing, and you do your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.

-Frederick E. Perl

If I'm free, it's because I'm always running. -Jimi Hendrix

Old hippies don't die, they just lie low until the laughter stops and their time comes round again.

-Joseph Gallivan

Do you believe in rock 'n roll? Can music save your mortal soul?

-Don McLean

"OH MY MY, OH HELL YES, HONEY PUT ON THAT PARTY DRESS."

October baseball. GO GIANTS!!!!!

I'm enjoying the first weekend in October in a relaxing way.  Last night was the first Friday in a while where I got home from the gym, showered and climbed right into my pajamas.  It felt great.  I cleaned my room, separated my laundry for this mornings trek to the laundromat and as my roommate Robin headed out for a night on the town, I heading for my big comfy bed.  The Giants v. Padres game was on and I was content.  Well, I was until the Giants lost 4-6.  Continuing with the theme of the weekend today I'll do more cleaning, maybe a little shopping, cooking, watch the Giants game and maybe a movie tonight.  Sunday I'm heading to AT&T for game 3 of the Giants series. THE LAST game of the regular season is proving to be an intense one.  I'm so excited!  GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since high school I’ve always been the girl to buy wedding magazines every now and again.  Don’t get me wrong… I AM NOT one of those girls who looks at every guy that comes along with longing eyes, as my future husband nor have I had my wedding planned sense I was five.  I change my mind far too much to be that girl but with one of my best friends, Maggie Bankson soon to be Maggie High planning her summer 2011 wedding it gives me an excuse to search the web for fabulous wedding finds to pass along. 

Some of my favorite wedding dress designers include the obvious Vera Wang, Christos, and Monique Lhuilier.  Here are some of my favorite dresses from their past collections including other touches to put you in a romantic mood.  WARNING: This may be a long one...

Wedding perfection... do you agree?

Perfect Saturday Song... Brett Dennen

There ain’t no reason things are this way.
Its how they always been and they intend to stay.
I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.
Preachers on the podium speakin’ of saints in seance,
Prophets on the sidewalk beggin’ for change,
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name.
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same,
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing,
You can spend your whole life workin’ for something
Just to have it taken away.
People walk around pushing back their debts,
Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets,
Talking ‘bout nothing, not thinking ‘bout death,
Every little heartbeat, every little breath.
People walk a tight rope on a razors edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons.
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen
Or a thought or a word or a sentence.

There Ain't no reason things are this way.
It's how they always been and they intend to stay
I don’t know why I say the things I say, but I say them anyway.
But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free,I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes.

Prison walls still standing tall,
Some things never change at all.Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com 
Keep on buildin’ prisons, gonna fill them all,
Keep on buildin’ bombs, gonna drop them all.
Working your fingers bear to the bone,
Breaking your back, make you sell your soul.
Like a lung that’s filled with coal, suffocatin’ slow.
The wind blows wild and I may move,
The politicians lie and I am not fooled.
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit to argue the truth.
The air on my skin and the world under my toes,
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes,
Chaos and commotion wherever I go, love I try to follow.

Love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes.

There ain't no reason things are this way
It’s how they always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.
