I appreciate you...

Hello fair readers, it's been a while since I've legitimately contributed anything original to this space. I lost my job as The Film Permit Coordinator for The City of Miami, due to a $180 million dollar deficit at the start of October, and have spent most of my time "online" since looking for work and searching through the mire that is the interweb. I must confess I just wasn't particularly inspired to write or share anything til now, though I did do a lot of drafting, so expect an onslaught of photos from my time in Europe, music and Monty Python related posts in the near future.

I also want to take some time to thank those of you who take the time out of your day, to see if I've written any nonsense to entertain you. My brother in particular, a great guy who can be seriously silly and all too serious. I also want to thank Brian, who I just don't see enough, but whenever I do always tells me I'm a better writer than I think I am - though he's "not a fan of all the fashion stuff." I greatly appreciate it, and miss him and The Cuda. I've also got to thank the gorgeous, brilliant and kind Olivia Wolfe for being quite possibly one of the best friends a girl could have, and know we'll be friends for another 20 years. I also want to thank Richard for giving me a not-so-stern talking to about the difference between people who call themselves "artists" and those who actually are, is that artists actually produce "art"...I think. It was something along those lines, I only kind of recall it was after The Junior Boys show so things are a bit hazy.
And of course I'd like to thank those who inspire me in so many ways, that I can't even begin to list them because there are simply too many, so I'll just go all Ancient Greek and praise The Gods and of course you!

I appreciate you...John Mayer

This is a new feature that came about as a way for me to show some appreciation to the people, artists, et all that really move me.
The original draft of this post was full of flowery prose that touched on Mr. Mayer's personal life, antics and other silliness, but I'm just going to keep things short and simple since this post is really about me enjoying and appreciating the product the artist puts out and respecting that vision, though in this case the focus is not a new song.
This is a video John shot while alone on vacation in Japan last week, that I found endearing and reminiscent of "Lost in Translation." It's really inspired me to take a trip alone (as soon as possible) just to clear my head. You can check out the other video's on his page, and you can see him perform tonight on Conan with the esteemed John Mayer Trio. If you've never seen or heard them, they're stellar (Steve Jordan is a musical genius of infinite proportion, and Pino Palladino's bass skills can soothe the soul.) In the meantime please enjoy and know that I also appreciate you fine readers for taking the time to read this and all my other posts!
