Bring On The Night

Tuesday, February 5

My face hurts. I think it’s because I woke up with the same grin that I was wearing from the minute we left the office yesterday to catch The Police in concert.
The trio of Sting, Stewart Copeland, and Andy Summers performed at the Grammy’s last year in LA. The following day, Police fans around the [...]

Let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire.

More Than Words?

Monday, January 7

A song that’s been on repeat on my iPod for the past couple of weeks has been Apologize, by Timbaland featuring OneRepublic. It’s one of those ‘love lost’ lamentations. Would be a good breakup song, if I needed one. Haha!

It was a 2-minute day (as Mr Boo would say).

An Ode to Exes

Saturday, July 1

Was reading an article about being friends with your ex(es). I think it really depends on how the relationship ends and how forgiving you are. I have a slight problem with this because on a scale of 1 to 10, the low end of the scale being “least forgiving”, I’d be a -5. Not many [...]
