Im learning to drive stick shift

And I gotta say, I'm doing pretty well. It's about my 3rd week learning, and it's goin' great. I drove an hour and back up to Hartford in manual and did wonderfully...traffic doesn't hurt, i've conquered hills. but last night.... i was leaving a friends with two of my friends in the car. I stalled and put it into first instead of 3rd while driving out of the driveway. I also couldn't find the exit since it was so dark. I havent laughed that hard in weeks. It was one of those uncontrollable, goofy ass, loud and donkey-like chuckles.

Like this.

the songs sing to me, I feel Victoria & Alex's musical talents personally. When Beach House comes through the speakers, it comes into me and stays in there. The organs, alternative dreamy percussion & haunting vocals makes me feel like new. Its MOOD CHANGING, I used to just like Beach House at night while I was falling asleep & very stressed. Now, I listen to Beach House as I get ready for my day, while I study, drive, hang out. I read a review that Victoria Legrand's voice is comparable to NORAH JONES. HAHAHAHHA....what a joke. If Victoria sees that, I apologize for the woman that wrote that. Victoria's voice is UNMATCHABLE...it'd be a criticism to put her up next to any artist, no matter how grand. Beach House is in a league of their own. I pre ordered their album via Insound but already got the leaked sh~t from a friend. Hmmmm seeing them again in May in Philly & New York..... AMEN AMENNNNN Beach Houuse

Sitting in front of the fire with a dinner of warm roasted herb chicken. Relaxing with both my parents, my soft yellow dog, I guess everything I need. And this news about Haiti...this news about Haiti. This news. I keep thinking why this happened to such an already impoverished, struggling country. I know good things are going to come out of this though. Something good has to come out, right? Maybe it'll unite them. Or bring attention to such a needy country. It needs our help. My father said,

If I was a Doctor, I'd drop everything and go right down there

kinda wish I was a doctor.

kinda wish he was, too.

God bless Haiti & all those affected, my thoughts & prayers are with them.
