I Told You
I told you I’d do it.
You didn’t believe in me. You told me I was nothing, that I’d never achieve. I almost believed you. I almost gave up, gave in, gave out. I almost believed all those voices from over the years that said I would fail.
I don’t know where the fire came, but it burned. It burned hard. It burned fast. It burned without relent and without caution. I threw...

I am feeling overwhelmed.
Sometimes my brain just realizes how much I’m juggling and freaks the hell out.
That’s happening right now. I’m about to have a panic attack thinking about the wedding, and wedding showers, and school, and work (and work), and church and trying to have a social life.
It’s no wonder I keep losing weight. I’m not sure how I remember to eat, ever.
I’m mid-panic...

I just finished interviewing Isaac Slade of The...
Me: I actually really loved the last album. I have it on vinyl and it's hands down one of my favorites.
Isaac: Thank you! I just got an old record player, so I'm going to have to listen to that now.
Me: Oh gosh, yeah. I have a 1950s Zenith and that record just sounds like it was made for vinyl. You definitely have to listen to it. Although ... I guess I shouldn't be the one telling you to listen to your own album...
Isaac: *Uncontrollable laughter*
I just found out that I can download e-books from...
My life is changed. Forever.
How did I not know this!?

I realized the last post was too mundane.

After months of me stressing and panicking—

Whoever said doing a wedding registry is fun lied
It is the worst. It’s stressful, there are a hundred different options for each thing and there’s no way to research everything you need to in the store.
What’s the difference between these 15 different toasters!?
Singer Etta James Passes Away →
Etta James, the iconic voice behind songs like “At Last” (embedded below), “Tell Mama” and “I’d Rather Go Blind”, passed away this morning of complications from leukemia. The jazz singer and multi-Grammy winner died just a week shy of her 74th birthday …
Foxy Shazam lives up to the hype: officially the weirdest band I have ever seen live.
Also, I almost cried when we ran into Bryan from Copeland. “ONE MORE SHOW.”

Food Note:
Adding smoked Gouda to Alfredo sauce makes your whole dish taste like it was infused with liquid bacon.
Being a person is becoming more complicated.

To which I replied: “Yeah, I think the gays would agree with you.”
Sometimes I Have to Step Back
Occasionally it hits me that I’m living the dream. My dream. I’m a writer and editor for the publication I’ve loved since high school. I write about music. For a living.
I’m surrounded by wonderful friends and I’m marrying the most amazing man in the world who has the voice of an angel and Ryan Gosling’s arms.
I should be more grateful, more often.

There are days when I’m pretty sure I don’t know what I’m doing.
I feel like I’m floundering my way through life. I’m really good at looking like I have everything in control, and really bad at actually controlling it.
I have mechanisms in place to help me manage myself. I write meticulous lists; A thorough search of my car, office space and bedroom will uncover...

Here’s the thing I think of lot of people don’t get: Tebow’s not praying to win games. He’s not praying to be the best; He’s not praying to be an idol or an icon. He’s praying that, win or loss, God be glorified. He’s praying for wisdom on the field, words to say to his team and the leadership ability it takes to be a starting quarterback in a...
