State Radio

When I lived in New York, someone very special told me about this band.  Their name is State Radio and they are a Boston based band. I went to a gig of theirs near Yale University in New Haven.  Small gig with many American's, lets just say its different too gigs in SA.  Was a great evening, thank you to my dear friend Mike for driving me all that way and jamming with me. LEGEND.

Jamming at the Boh

 

Last Friday I went to the Bohemian to see Earl Grey and Croquet play and WOW, what a gig.  I really enjoyed their presence and the love they have for their fans.  Larry has a magical voice, I could listen to him sing for hours.  My favourite song had to be Free Bird, epic tune, Markus even joined in.  Chris Smith is a legend on guitar, oh my heavens, SO SEXY! While Jonathan on drums, man that boy has mad skills and lets not forget Dan the man on bass, CRAZY but EPIC.

These guys are awesome, click on the link above and follow them on Facebook, I PROMISE its worth it.

I sadly forgot my camera at home. 

30 Days of Me - Day 13

A letter to someone that has hurt you. 

You

I should have written this letter when you left me, when I was completely broken.

You said I was your soul mate, you said you wanted to grow old with me, you said you wanted me to be the mother of your children, I guess you lied, as all men do that have come into my life.  The sad part of this all I did not anticipate this from you.  I trusted you, I loved you.  You had my heart fully and then in one moment you broke it completely.

Maybe things wouldn’t of worked between us due to the distance, but I was putting all that I had into our relationship to make it last.  I really wanted us to work, but clearly you so messed up, that you enjoy breaking girl’s hearts.

The way you left me was so heartless and our relationship was far from it.  I saw another side of you that scared and shocked me, you were so cold.

Time has passed and yet you are still that person I did not like seeing, heartless and cold.

You DON’T deserve my kindness.  You hurt me; you broke my heart which I am still trying to put back together.

 I don’t wish you happiness anymore, because you took all my happiness away from me.

Me

Yet Again, Thank you Mr Price

Before work yesterday, I went shopping, you know just because I was in the Hatfield area.  Only had about 45mins to shop, but I managed to get these awesome little goodies *HAPPY FACE*

30 Days of Me - Day 12

How I found out about Blogger and why I started blogging?

My dear friend Kate started blogging about being a South Africa in New York, and it looked like fun, so I decided lets start my own.  So there I was, setting up a blog, not knowing what to blog about and why.  I went from 'The Girl Who Lived To Far" to "Come Whatever May". 

Even though my blog isn't about important or even interesting things.  To me its my way of expressing myself creatively.

Song of the Day

Farryl Purkiss got married this weekend, so song of the day goes out to him....

Thank you Mr Price

I love shopping, and today I went shopping for my brothers birthday gift, but of course I had to buy myself something. I am obsessed with Mr Price, I should have shares in that store *giggles* I bought two tops, which had my eye and first sight.

 

 

Bedroom Makeover

I moved into my own little flat on my parents property, its pretty neat. I love my folks.  The mission started in December and now I am fully moved in, still have a few more things to do, but I'll get there.

   

Out with the old and In with the new.....

Five coats of red paint....mission, but so worth it.

My little piece of New York, where my heart is and will always be.

Song of the Day

Today is my brother's birthday, so this song is for him.

Happy Birthday Wanna

I heart you

Heavan on Earth

This December I sent upon a journey where I did not know what would happen.  William, Lisa, Dom and I embarked on this life changing journey on the 10^th of December 2011.  We left JHB and started driving our 12 hour road trip towards Kenton on Sea in the Eastern Cape.  The road trip was interesting, white board and all.  Hardly stopping for breaks, and back then I was a smoker. So you can all just imagine. 

 When we arrived in Kenton, I fell in love; it was love at first sight.  I thought to myself this place is what I need.  The point of this holiday for me was to live my life as ‘GO WITH THE FLOW’ and ‘LIVE OUT OF MY BUBBLE’ because I never knew what was going to happen, and being a Virgo that was a tad difficult for me, but at the end of the holiday I managed to do it. YAY FOR ME.

I did things that amazed me; I never said no to anything, I just did it. I pushed myself and when I did, I felt so good about being me.  Being outdoors and being fit was the most amazing feeling and a feeling like that, to me, made me happy and love myself more.  Reminded me a little of whom I was in New York, crazy I know, but very true. 

 Dom and I were gypsies for 5 days of this 13day holiday, stopping in Stellies for a night and Hermanus for 4 days, it WAS AMAZING.  Dom and I had the best 5 days ever…not knowing what would happen, where we would sleep and just going with the flow. Was amazing and life changing.

I had my moment on the holiday where I did cry, but that’s another story for another time.  Having the one person that you CAN NOT get over on holiday with you is a little, how can I say this?  Mmmm, difficult with a slight hint of happiness.

I met such amazing people, who in some sort of way changed my life.  Even though they didn’t do extreme things, to me they were amazing and help me in small little ways.

 The experiences I had on this holiday were life changing and I am so glad I got to experience it with my dear friends.

CAN’T wait for Kenton 2012…..

30 Days of Me - Day 9

Something I'm proud of in the past few days?

For the past few days I have given up smoking.  I am SUPER proud of myself, even though I am dying for a cigarette.  Let's see how long this will last.  I am hoping it will last for a while *giggles*

The only thing I am worried about, is that I put on weight. Some say it is a myth, but I seriously think that this myth will come haunt me! 

Click if you want to quit smoking and not gain weight, there are some good facts one should know.
