Here’s a trailer from the movie Food Inc. I thought it would be a good one to see if any of you are unfamiliar with the food industry in this country of ours.
Enjoy!
Peace and Love

I came across this video the other day on archive.org while Nathan and I were searching the net for something to watch. It’s a bit upsetting to watch but I thought it was something that everyone should see. I have a brother who is also a cop and I only can hope he would quit his job instead of participating in something like this… if it were to ever happen. I know they were only doing their job… and I guess that is the disturbing part… when does your job make you lose sight of what’s really right???

Things have started to settle. I don’t feel like a zombie set for endless letdowns… I actually am feeling positive again. I know it sounds sooooo trivial but hey this is my life and I can write what I want to. My motivation is low these days. I should really be focusing on the big projects for the future, but without anything pressing it’s hard to conceive of where to begin…
Blah, blah, blah…
Oh music update!!! Chelsea and I are on track to perform an open mic with hopefully more to follow. I want her to be the lead singer of my newest band attempt but my partner in crime is a bit timid to share…. I mean I feel honored to be helping write music with her… especially some that is really exciting to see develop. I am hoping for a demo in a couple of weeks. Lisa is very proactive with lots on her plate so it’s a mixed bag as to when and how… but I have high hopes.
Peace and Love

I feel like I’m in a rut. I really do. I feel tired, emotional, and wildly uninterested in everything going on around me. It could have something to do with the routine of life settling back in or it could have to do with smoking recently or the past month of overcast skies. However it happened I’m feeling low…As it stands:
- Nathan has a job.
- I have have 2 piano students
- I will be teaching my first yoga class in one month
- I’m reading the Twilight series (I am a teenage girl at heart… hence the tragic start to the post)
- I’m learning the last movement to the moonlight sonata
- I’m collaborating music with my best friend Lisa
- I just got internet in my house
- I am addicted to sugar
- Our garden is like a pet cemetery
- Our vermicompost population is growing very quickly
- I’m scared shitless
I have so many things I want to do… so many projects in my head… but most of the time I wantto curl up and read a book and forget about the world. I’m lucky to have Nathan keeping me positive most of the time. I guess it’s really not that bad. I just am being dramatic. Everything is changing… constant flux… and this too shall pass. I’m still trying to get pictures of the house up for you all to see. I am really excited about the evolution of our home in the future years to come. This year is the dreaming year… next year is when it’ll all come into reality. I’m keeping my head up and trying to be confident about the future… anyone got any good tips for facing your fears?!? Peace and Love
