In Memorial

As the rain falls on Boston, we think of Mr. Ted Kennedy and all he did for this city and for this country. For that we thank you, your legacy will remain

Fear of flying

Is it the fear of the unknown the fear that there is something that we have no control? Or could it be the destination and the return flight that scares us.

I am on the cusp of much change, starting a new chapter and flipping the page with a steady wrist. As I transfer from one school to the next I reflect on all that I have learned and wonder what I will take with me as I continue forward.

My fear of flying is similar to my fear of change.

I knew that when I embarked on my college years I would not be staying in my first college for very long. I never planned on going to a two year college, but it was one of the smartest moves I have made. I also never planned on having so many choices of where to go next.

If the saying is true then you don't know if you made the right choice until you are living and breathing your decision.

Happy to be a Blackberry

I highly enjoy the fact that U2 is the theme-song behind the blackberry advertisement. Not just because they are Irish, but because as cliche as this may sound, the lyrics are quite inspirational.

:Every generation gets a chance to change the world
Pity the nation that won't listen to your boys and girls
'Cause the sweetest melody is the one we haven't heard
Is it true that perfect love drives out all fear
The right to appear ridiculous is something I hold dear
Oh, but a change of heart comes slow:

Now you can call me lame and/or overly hormonal.

Boob-tube

This season my pick for 'top network' goes to the Logo channel. The Logo channel is television geared towards the GLBT community. Over that past 24 hours I most likely have watched ten episodes of "Gimme Sugar" and way to many depressing documentaries- I am in love.

I mean really, how can you not love a network that teaches you so much important information. Just to day I learned the Lesbian equivalent to 'fag-hag' - Lesbro!

Summer is just better with sparkle... and my favorite flannel.

Ellipse

If you haven't already, go to your nearest cd retainer and purchase Imogen Heaps new album "Ellipse". It has been two long years without any fairy dust in my life.. she to me is a true muse. Her music is constructed in such a way that leaves me baffled.

Watching clips from live performances and having seen her once live before I am still marveled by her talent that seems to be endless.

Thus far I have listened to the album once threw and it is stunning, stunning and more stunning! She is a lyrical genius put simply.

I strongly encourage you to rather then getting a latte at lunch, spend an extra four dollars on a masterpiece, besides lattes have more dairy then caffeine...

New music... finally

As most of you know, one of my long time addictions has been a Tegan and Sara. Not just because they are the cutest lesbians, but mainly because they are two of the most respected female musicians making music today.

Their last album titled 'The Con' came out in late summer of 2007. Produced by TnS as well as Chris Walla from Death Cab for Cutie. On the record can be found sprinklings of indie gods; Kaki King, Jason Gerr and Matt Sharp just to name a few.

I am a live music fan, and Tegan and Sara's live shows are some of the greatest I have been able to enjoy. Their 'banter' brings about a sense that the audience is in on the jokes and life long friends of the band. Marketing scheme? Well whatever it is, its working.

What will Tegan and Sara's 'Sainthood' out this coming October 27th bring to the table... we will have to wait and see.

let me introduce myself

I wonder how long this will last.

The name is Jennifer, I am from the suburbs of Boston and I am a new blogger. I am dyslexic and want to use this blog as a way to voice my opinions, find progress and update family and friends on the goings on in my life.

Cheers to this first entry, expect more shortly.
