black is the new black

i have to thank Savoir-Faire for using this caption on one of their Instagram photos recently. i adore the quote.

07.20.2013 [take me back]

Wishing I was in Colorado right now. I have spent many family vacations in Colorado [Aspen, Crested Butte, Telluride] as well as snowboarding trips with my sister and her husband [newlyweds] in Snowmass and Aspen. I really feel like I will call it home in the near-ish future. I wanted to share a graphic I made with a photo of my own taken atop Mount Crested Butte in 2009. I have seen a version of this on the internet and decided today to recreate it. Now if I could just teleport and hike around the rest of the day...

...keep dreaming...

Darling...

I saw this today on Therapy's Instagram and loved it so I had to share. I always want to be unique.

I love you, Paris

I have found myself missing Paris, France recently. I spent too short a time there Spring of 2008. I long to go back soon.

Life + Crayons

“Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!"”

JM Quote

I found this John Mayer quote today.  I just love him.  I really enjoy that feeling of hopefulness in it.

"Even if you think the flame has died, there's at least one lyric that'll hit that last hot spot, and then you'll find yourself as f#!%ed as you were the day you lied and said you never wanted to see her again." - JM

i love this quote. it's different and a funny way to illustrate a point, but i love the point he makes. i want to be a 64-color box. i want to know people that are 64-color boxes, too. life is so interesting...and i love it. i hope i never take it for granted.
