//Silver Lining

As much as I'm hurting over everything that happened this weekend, I now have a more concrete understanding of certain emotions and situations.

And yeah, it's going to hurt for at least a little while longer, but it's another experience; it's another perspective on life. I have a better understanding of mannerisms and facial quirks and rough edges and body heat. Yeah. It's going to hurt. But every defining moment in life comes with a little pain. And, as Bob Marley wisely said:
"Truth is, everybody's going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for."
It was short-lived and it was wonderful. It was bursts of energy and euphoria. It was tenderness and frankness. It was a shooting star; a rogue wave; an avalanche. So much -- too much -- and yet not enough.

Not enough. But I'll live.

Another Movie Soundtrack post

I've filled this out a few times in the past, but I figured now that 2013 is coming to a close, I might as well do it again. Rules: 1) Turn on your iPod. 2) Change settings to "Shuffle". 3) Press play! 4) For every category, type the title of the song that plays. 5) Hit the "Next" button and DO NOT skip. 6) DON'T LIE! ***************************************************** Opening credits:  St. Peter's Cathedral (Death Cab for Cutie - Codes and Keys) First day at a new job:  Tonight, Tonight (Passion Pit - Cover of Smashing Pumpkins' song) Falling In Love:  Collect Call (Metric - Fantasies) Fight Song:  Mutt (Blink-182 - Enema of the State) Breaking Up:  Miscommunication (Timbaland [feat.

Back in Montréal

I'm baaaaa-ack!! My new roommates (Laura and Ariane) are so different from my former ones. First off, they're both girls... they're both younger than me... they're so CLEAN!! Oh my! (The dudes, while clean, were surface clean... these girls are DEEP clean haha!) I do admit that living with Paul, Max and Marc did have its perks: they were super funny, loved the same music I did, and went to bed super-late (I feel guilty when I stay up because Laura and Ariane go to bed at 10:30 and our floorboards are creaky and I don't want to keep them up and I know I do when I walk around... phew!) Anyway, they both leave on Fridays and don't come back to Montréal until late Sunday night. Oh to be alone, once more.... My first week at Lobster was divine!! I'm in love with my boss (I caught myself mimicking her body language which is indicative of how much I look up to her). She's super-smart and funny and has the BEST haircut I have ever seen on anybody.  So far, so g...

My baby cousin is going to play at Vive Latino!

This dude: This dude used to terrorize me when we were little. Allegedly. I don't remember much about our toddler years, other than the fact he had the  sweetest curls and would follow our cousin Lucia and me around.  Well anyway, after growing out of his (alleged) toddler bullying, hyper-aggressive ways, he's grown up to be an upstanding gentleman and I'm ever so proud of him and this amazing achievement! I mean, he'll be playing at a music festival in which Arcade Fire, NIN, AFI, of Montreal, Cut Copy etc, etc will play! I'm positively geeking out over this! This is huge for my baby cuz! He's been drumming since we were teenagers and I would always send him music in care packages to feed his love and appreciation for punk music and now... he's going to play in front of literally thousands and at a  huge  international scale to boot, too!  His band Los Tiros is one of the two Guatemalan bands that are going to Vive Latino. They're a mi...
