Here we are… I am thirty years old. A few days after the fact but still celebrating.
I can’t really believe it, where did the last 15 years go? I remember learning how to drive, my dad taking me to the CSULB empty parking lot. When I hit a parking space line he would say, “You just hit a car!” I would laugh.
I think these life milestones can really fuck with one’s head. I NEVERÂ thought I would still be finishing school, unmarried, no kids and in career I never took any college classes for, but here I am. And for the most part I am having the time of my life. I really feel like I am right where I need to be, I just kind of took the long way. There are no time lines here. People go at their own pace. I have learned so much, and gained so much life experience in the last 30 years, I wouldn’t take any of it back. Although there are some things I may have done differently I believe that the choices we make shape who we are.
Music has always been a pretty big part of my life, when I was younger my parents were my tip sheet. I listened to everything they listened to and I loved it. I was introduced to Simon & Garfunkel, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Kitaro and Enya at a pretty young age. It wasn’t until my early twenties where I really started to dig deep and find my own music. The music that resonates with me deep inside where all my fears, dreams and hopes are dwelling. It brought me confidence and freedom to be my own person and for that I am so thankful. I am forever a work in progress, but I think that is a huge part of life. As the years go by I want to grow and continue to figure out who I am and what I stand for, all the while listening to some good music.
The below 5 songs are some of my favorite songs throughout the years, songs that remind me of my childhood, that remind me of myself and they all make me happy. I can put them on at any given time and I want to listen to them again and again. Enjoy!

All Time Favorite #20
Filed Under All Time Favorite | 4 Comments
Almost Famous is one of my top five favorite movies of all time, hands down. I know many will agree. I have seen this movie so many times I could almost recite it line by line (Not really actually. Fact: No matter how many times I have seen a movie I still can’t recite lines. It bothers the shit out of me.) But anyways I have seen this movie at least a dozen times and I am not one to watch movies over and over so there is proof.
Now, as for the soundtrack? Well… It is A M A Z I N G! It is so wonderful I wasn’t sure if I could select just one song… My two absolute favorite songs are America by Simon & Garfunkel and The Wind by Cat Stevens (aka Yusuf Islam). In the end though this song is gorgeous and at times has even brought me to tears. I love it so much…
