arrivederci!

they rock skinny jeans and skinny ties. one member plays violin and sings, with another on keys and they have a hell of a drummer. their gigs make the kids bum rush their stage and indie cool chicks fist pump with the best of them. while most artists are trying to stay relevant by following the status quo and keeping up with jones', this unique force of musicians are shattering the box one gig at a time. with a style, they define as an "ingenius marriage of electro and pop", band members timothee lovelock, adam piccoli and zach gracius have created a sound that is boldly their own and begs to be blasted really loudly in your car. :)

"This album is truly representative of a shift in culture and clever musicianship. I was blown away by the drifting chord progressions and catchy melodies. Excellent album. Superb lyrics. I highly recommend it to all." -iTunes review by jahndy

in june 2009, arrivederci released, goodbye, a melting pot of sounds including heavy instrumentals, spoken word, a breathtaking violin solo, a tear jerker or two and lyrics written by the band members themselves further proving this is music. currently working on their next album, arrivederci continues to break the mold and gives this generation something original.

to lov is to breathe/with each inhale, i pause to experience/a state of pure bliss/with each exhale, i smile knowing that/my foundation is sound/with each step, i walk as if im on air/flying through time as a winged/angel i spread my wings/to experience freedom the freedom/to experience what is a divine/state of mind/the inexplicable nature of lov

whuauryu

wittle update. back in school! hence y this blog still irks me. taking a full load of classes for the first time in.well.a very very long time. still working. learning that whole time management thing. but i can say i have finally "settled" here in south florida. at least im not running away just yet. now. time to make magic.

love146

lets share some numbers:

27 million people are enslaved around the world today
80% of them are children and women
every 30 seconds someone is sold
florida [my home state] is #2 in the nation in human trafficking

her number was 146

now what are you going to do about it?

human trafficking is something we dont talk about. yet we have heard. is it too uncomfortable, or is it that its only happening in these far away places. last week in palm beach county, a house was raided for being used as a brothel for women who were brought into the u.s. to work as sex slaves. one young woman was brought into the u.s. at the age of 14 and was transported from atlanta, to new york and various "hotspots in florida. girls as young as 7 are being sold on "menus" in cambodia and thailand as they watch cartoons in matching red dresses behind glass walls. this is happening in neighborhoods all across the united states. in our backyards. and we can not stay silent any longer. these are our sisters. and our brothers. our children. and when they have lost their voice. we must scream and fight. for justice.

oh ten. remember in high school and we wld contemplate on all the kiddies that wld graduate in 2010 and what hand sign they would make up to "throw in the ayr" when someone asked what yr they were? what have ya'll thought of? shooot what have i thought of. because by time i finalllllly get this degree its going to be. oh ten. oh eleven. geesh louise. but everytime i think like that. the "He dont wear a watch" quote pops in my head. good thoughts:

im sorta kinda finding my place again. not quite there but not quite where i was. its like rehab this 'phase'. kicking the habit and becoming the old me. or a better version of self. a work in progress. forvr. just popped ovr to say. be back in 5.4.3.2...

national dress up day

never posted my lonely halloween pics. whatashame. i was the kid who didnt really celebrate the holiday growing up. fast forward to attending the "arts"school and halloween was taken veryseriously. art students. 3 of us diy'd our own powerpuff girl costumes and came to school dressed as the cartoon superchicks. the funniest thing about that was i had to take the bus to the neighborhood hs first and well-they didnt celebrate as we did. insert a lot of strange looks, and random comments. bedifferentbiches. the tallest kid in school was wheres waldo. rip patrick. that pic landed in my long lost yearbook. ah high school. the goodoledays.
