Avett Brothers, Bon Fires, and other things pertaining to 2010

Shhheeww.

2010 was a good one, a bad one, a medium one, a small one, a large one. I feel like within a year I was a plethora of different versions of myself. A Spring semester Bristol, a summer Bristol, a Fall semester Bristol, a winter break Bristol…I am exhausted. Ha. In other news, The Avetts/Bob Crawford/Joe Kwon did it up right! I would have changed nothing about that concert. I was never a concert goer until I got to college. I’ve only been to 3 ever since . Two of them being Avett ones. I can say that on good authority that those boys are my favorite band, singer, artist, anything to do with music, etc.  would recommend them to anyone alive. Even the deaf. Fun fact:The Avett’s has two ASL translators at their concert. I for one thought it was just a sweet way to include people (even if it was common protocol…Uhm, on that note—ha! I brought the New Year in with my family and a friend. Charades is a quality party game, and bon fires never have enough s’mores and all thing that they entail. I mostly enjoyed eating the ingredients to s’mores seperately…just the chocolate actually. Welp, I think me and 2011 are off to a promising start.

So sleepy,

Chump change in a world of dollar bills.

Uhhhhh. Alrighty, so far so good. Blog No. 2 and I still haven’t grown old/exasperated/weary/frustrated with this activity.

 I just finished hours of chitting and chatting with friends on how our Holidays panned out. I laughed plenty and told of some really unfortunate circumstances as far as my Christmas was concerned. Among some of the main ideas discussed included these little snippets: Don’t sweat the small stuff and if the big stuff makes you sweat set it down for a minute. Everyone is lucky or talented or special or creative or gifted. “Sometimes when I am worried and I can’t sleep, I count my blessings instead of sheep.”

I sound like a sappy grown-up boring person, when I am not. Content is not boring. Also, I just think as homosapiens we forget how awesome it is to be alive. Go run and jump or paint or sew! Go do something. I mean it’s almost 2011, which means our days are numbered (Ha. Get it?)

It’s not like anyone is actually reading this, but just incase someone stalks me and is looking into my past from some distant future time where I am a person of interest, just know that, I love(d) my life. I go to a microscopic sized college, and it’s great. My friends and family are wonderful, witty, clever, hilarious, talented and supportive human beings. They fuck things up A LOT, but they’re awesome. Forgive and forget. 

I may sound/be/act crazy but…eh. You can’t buy happiness. Clearly, because I have no money. But see, that doesn’t ACTUALLY matter. I have everything that matters (See previous little paragraph for ejemplos.)

What brought this on? General love for humanity and the urge to share it with the world. My New Years Resolution for 2011 is to be less negative, exclusive, and derogatory— which from this blog doesn’t sound like too much of a stretch but actually in the real world when I am not sitting behind a keyboard premeditating each word in my sentence I can be pretty darn pessimistic. I am not evil or maniacal by any means but I can throw out some pretty judgemental statements. I’m trying for less of that and more of what this blog is about: compassion, love, kindness, and all around good stuff.

I’ll probably harp more on this when it’s actually New Years,

Merry Holidays

In the spirit of the Holiday season, I am updating my technologia savy. Thusly and hencely, I got myself a tumblr. We’ll see how this goes.

Fingers crossed,
