Elphaba

I had the most amazing experience of being able to watch this woman perform live as Elphaba in the hit Broadway show, Wicked, in NYC.  This song isn't in that Broadway show, but I just wanted to showcase just how she could really make a character come to life through singing and acting and do it really well.  I just remember watching her on stage and being blown away by her talents.  She puts in so much emotion when she sings, and it is breathtaking to watch and it leaves me with chills.

Amazing!  I'm a new fan.  :)

Magnificent Rainbow

I just came back from the gym.  It always feels good walking out of the gym.  I feel like I accomplished something.  haha

Anyway, there has been some summer thunderstorms here in the past 2 days.  Today, when I stepped out of that gym, I experienced "Neon Rain" and saw a full, arched rainbow right above me.  It was pretty magnificent.  Then in the distance, I can see the sun setting behind the rocky California mountains, setting off a yellow-orange glow in the overcast sky.

These past 2 overcast summer days were pretty amazing.  Lonely, but the weather made up for it.  Its just really really humid.  But it didn't bother me much.  All the rain and humidity kind of reminded me of my second home (if you know what I mean), which was nice.  Little piece of home.

Gummy Bears

I just woke up from a dream that it was raining gummy bears.

Quiet Time

Everybody has those moments when sadness or stress creeps upon them.  Today, I realize just how important quiet time is.  I was feeling lonely, so I spent a while out in my backyard by my dog's grave.  I just sat there talking to her (like I would when she was still here), enjoying the breeze, listening to the leaves move in the wind, and talking to the sky.  I miss my little dear friend terribly, especially at times when I feel sad or stressed.  She had a way to make me smile despite of my mood.  You can call me crazy, but she was my best friend when I didn't have any friends.  When I think I've moved on, I guess I really haven't.  It still hurts deeply to know that she's gone.  In time, I know things will get better.  For now, I'm just taking it day by day.
Anyway, quiet time gave me time to reflect about what really matters.  I need to be strong and learn to smile and laugh again.

Chasing The Sun

If you haven't heard already, Sara Bareilles released a new album titled The Blessed Unrest.  Although, this album may sound a little different than her previous albums, it still highlights her powerful voice and moving lyrics.  This one is titled "Chasing The Sun" which reminds us all that "life is not meant to be wasted."  This is one of my many favorites from her new album.  Get yourself a copy!!  I promise you won't be disappointed.

Alone

I'm having the hardest time falling asleep tonight, even music isn't helping much. I pray, but tears keep coming. Brain won't shut up. That reoccuring nightmare! I'm scared.

I feel very much alone.

Sorry. Just had to let this out. I didn't know who to tell or if I should even tell someone, so I just wrote it here. I kinda feel better. Thanks. G'night.
