a vacation day...

had the best day with mr. mcbride yesterday.  we didn't go out of town we just both had a weekday off.
this never happens.
we went to the beach, ate at our favorite restaurant, golden china, and watched a movie.

i don't have much to write ever in this blog because we keep it simple.  we live, work, love the same way we did when we met 4 years ago.

i dont need fancy, i need the everyday.

i never knew what love was until i met brandon... his love makes me independent, makes me feel free.

thank god for this day and every other.  we are blessed.

the white album.

i have decided that i need to listen to all of the beatles records.  like it or not they were the beginning of pop/rock music.

i decided this a while back and in no particular order i was going to pick up records if i found a deal.

well the first one i picked up was abbey road.  funny this was the first one because come to find out it was their last album together.   

it had some good songs but always i tend to find one winner and constantly play that tune.  on this record that tune was "something in the way she moves."  reminded me of eric clapton's "wonderful tonight."

so then when we were downtown chicago i picked up the white album.  i don't know much about it.  but after just hearing the first part of it, its amazing!   this record was put out before abbey road and you can really tell that they are really sinking into it.  

it was recorded form 65 to 68 but you'd think they had just written it last week.

there was just something so magical about what they put together, that it is sad that they will never get it back.

you can clearly tell in the record that paul is the musical talent, putting together a tune.  george is lead guitar, give him a song, he'll play it and well.  ringo keeps the beat, and it takes you a while to find john, but when you do you know that he is the heart and soul of the band.

my fav of the first disc, "happiness is a warm gun"  absolutely wonderful!

hello, blog.

i had an awesome vacation week last week!  it started on sunday when i got to spend time with my nephew, Jack!
