the best horoscope for the day

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): WD-40 is a spray product that prevents
corrosion, loosens stuck hinges, removes hard-to-get-at dirt, and has
several other uses. Its inventor, Norm Larsen, tried 39 different formulas
before finding the precisely right combination of ingredients on his
fortieth attempt. The way I understand your life right now, Sagittarius, is
that you are like Larsen when he was working with version number 37.
You're getting closer to creating a viable method for achieving your next
success. That's why I urge you to be patient and determined as you
continue to tinker and experiment. Don't keep trying the same formula
that didn't quite work before. Open your mind to the possibility that you
have not yet discovered at least one of the integral components.

My Valentine's Day Songs

Yesterday the Huffington Post released Facebook Breakup Songs: Data Team Reveals Top Spotify Songs For Breakups, New Relationships, I have to admit it is the shittiest list ever! I want to see the crosstabs. I want to know the demographic make up of this sample - though based on what they looked at, I can take a guess. BUT REALLY?!?! Have you no sense of what good music is when starting a relationship or for that matter the end of one?!!?! This list blows. Here are some songs that I've listened to when head over heels...or heels over head, depending on the starting or ending a relationship.


amazing cover! I'm pretty much in love with about all of Florence and the Machine's songs. Put to just cut and paste her album means you should just buy it instead. A FATM concert still remains one of my absolute favorites!


This song will forever bring me smiles and remind me of many many days with a lovely lady.


just makes me smile, dunno why.


whoa.


now here's a break up song. this reminds me of chilly days in Pittsburgh


another kick ya in the guts song.


I've got way more songs to add to this list, but I've got some things to get done...also, a note: impossible that not a single Elliot Smith song is on the break up list...what?!?!

In the end, just google this, or this; makes me smile. I mean seriously I was laughing hysterical :-/


Also, in reviewing this list, it is weak, because the truth is I got distracted, but I'm going to come back to this...just you wait.

I loved her, who didn't. That voice.

I've got plenty of songs that I could post in memory of her passing but I chose this one. It's not one of her most popular songs I'm sure, but the truth of the matter is that this song will forever make me smile. Somewhere driving on a back road in Virginia singing at the top of my lungs, singing about my "durl."

‎...draw from your past, don’t let your
past draw from you...

scurrying up walls



Last night I went climbing at Brooklyn Boulders, it's been sometime - in fact the photo above is from the last time I went climbing, back in Aug. It's sad that it's been that long, mostly for my arms which are quite sore today :-) It's too bad I didn't get any photos from last night, I killed it on some nice climbs!

I spent a good deal of time bouldering until my belay partner arrived. Which was great and gave me some time to really work on my technique. And I even tried my hand at Slacklining, which is my new favorite thing!!! All in all a great work out on a Friday night. Can't wait to do it again.

Getting involved with this campaign was one of the best decisions of my life!
