My sister posted these photos, among others, on facebook today, within an album she named "Cue-Nostalgia...NOW." Alright, she started it! Nostalgia is on!
I love the family reunion photographs because in both it seems like we are looking in different directions! Like none of us knows who we are supposed to be looking at...(The guests of honor are my great-grandparents, by the way. They lived long lives. They grew their own vegetables. This might have something to do with it. My great-grandfather lived past 100 and apparently asked for Viagra in the nursing home!) That's me, in the black shirt, around 15, cousin George to the left, sister Tiffany(I miss you, NYC-grad-school girl!) to the right, and cousin Jackie to the far right.
The pictures above are both from shows at the Florida Theatre in which I was the opening act. I have opened for a number of famous people/acts, but for some reason I would not let my mom ask for a picture with them! These days, I would be psyched and I think definitely take advantage of the photo opportunity. Why not? It's a neat thing. I'm not sure why I was so reluctant then. Well I told my sister on the phone as I looked at the pictures that I would include some in my blog and share with you readers who I have had the honor of opening for. (And who has had the honor of me being their opening act!! ;) ) This list includes: John Mayer (at Jackrabbits!), David Crosby (of Crosby, Stills, and Nash), Foreigner, Huey Lewis and the News, Styx.
I am a lucky girl. That is the truth. The universe has given me so much. I am just really bad at the game of life. I didn't know what to do with what I was being handed. I may be a loser in the game of life, but it might just be because I never learned how to play the game. There is some sanity to be found in that, thinks I...the fact that it is a big hilarious game. "At the end of the game the pawn and the queen go back in the same box." And it's done before we know it.
Think about it. Sylvia Plath didn't ask to be depressed and given shock therapy treatments....who would really want to be in the state of mind that they stick their head in the oven and end their own life!? Even the people who have played really evil characters (I saw "Inglourious Basterds" today.....Hitler and his friends....laughing at the people getting shot in "Nation's Pride"- they look so....insane and so...helpless).....was it really their fault that they are playing out those roles??? I don't know. I don't know. Of course they were playing roles...it was a movie.
Ha ha ha. I just a took a walk...was intending to catch up with mom but never did. We took different routes I think....anyhow, I got a random "I love you" (sounded like a young voice) and a whistle. I didn't say anything. But I didn't mind. I mean I barely have any hair and I don't feel very attractive! A little "I love you" never hurt anyone...did it?
So here's the thing. My dreams are very predictive lately. Example A: I had a dream with a girl I haven't seen in years.....saw her a couple of days later (last Sunday)...she served me at a local resteraunt...I told her she was just in a dream of mine and what had been going on with me....turns out she might have something similar to be checked out. Or of course it could be nothing, which hopefully is the case! Then, last night I had a dream I was behind the movie screen in a movie theatre. That was a big part of my dream...in a room, behind the screen of a movie theatre. Today, saw "Inglourious Basterds"- a big part of that film has to do with a movie theatre and being behind the screen. It defintely gave me that "de ja vu" feeling." My dreams are starting to be more "right on," like they were when I was a teenager. I used to have premenitory dreams relatively often.
I think I might go to yoga tomorrow! A friend invited me and I think I should probably go. This means I am going to have to find something to wear....
Chow. Just kidding.
Ciao.
