it has inspired me to do more. i will be doing that half marathon this year and taking donations, as my birthday gift, for the cancer society. my aunt passed of breast cancer when i was younger. and she made such an impact on my life that i want to honor her. although i know she's with me everyday.
i have also decided to record a song with my most amazing and talented friend Travis. he gets me, and he gets music, and i couldn't ask for a better partner. <3. he suggested we record "The Very Thought Of You" by Billie Holiday. its a jazz standard and we're going to slow it down and make it all pretty and acoustic.
i have also started donating my time to the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. and my little sister is amazing! i'm so excited to be a part of a child's life and just hang out. kids say the most amazing things and i hope that our friendship lasts for ever. i know, super cheesy.
also i went to the Bon Iver show and it was amazing. truly moving and inspiring. his music is monumental and calm all at the same time. it was a 9 piece and everyone played more that 3 instruments, and there were 2 drummers (who even played more then the drums at the same time they were drumming), and everyone did back up vocals. i can't wait till they come back, i must see them again.
on that note, listen and enjoy.
