I had this song stuck in my head all day. It’s so beautiful. I wish I could wail like Wendy Rene, but Lykke and those Perro del mar folks do a really awesome rendition as well.

Well, Christmas eve was fun-ish, we sat around and bullshitted for like 4 hours until midnight aka present opening time! I was pretty happy with everything I received, I mean, how can you not be, you’re getting free stuff! Holla at my mom and B for getting me a sweet bike (cruiser) I’m pretty excited about it. I also got an amazing locket from my aunt, and various gift cards. Oh and of course as expected none of my family gave a shit that I donated what would have been their gifts to a toy drive for needy children. They kind of just looked at me like … ok? At least I felt good about it.
anyway, I have a day off today by default so I am gonna catch up on laundry and hopefully spend some quality time with some friends.
Hope it was a great Christmas for you, and if you don’t celebrate, I hope it was a good day off, and if you have to work, I hope its and awesome day and everyone is extra nice to you. 
I have been working nonstop for the last _____?? I don’t even know anymore. Excuse the neglect. In the mean time here are a couple of sites you should enjoy in my absence.
that’s about all I can think of right now. I need to start getting ready for work. today and tomorrow, I just need to survive till christmas. Then I can spend christmas day riding my new bicycle!
good day yall!

This vid made me miss, NY, Steph DT, cafe con leche, and youth. I am _ this close to booking a flight to NY in February. Luckily I haven’t drank that much wine yet lol. I have never vacationed by myself before and I kind of want to. Except getting lost on subways is scary with someone else, imagine alone :/ eeek…
…ok I should get to bed. I am trying to get 90% of my Christmas shopping done tomorrow. I decided instead of giving presents that may or may not be stashed away in a corner forever/ regifted, I will use the money to buy a toy for a child for every person on my list that was getting a crappy gift anyway haha. Giving rules!
…who knew a double shot of espresso could last like 8 hours. I couldn’t sleep last night so instead I made a dream outfit.
You know that saying “one man’s trash is another one’s treasure,” well in my case this week it was one man’s trashed memories, my treasure. I have a slight obsession with history. More so the story part of history, so when my aunt, mother, and I strolled into this church thrift shop the other day, I was thrilled, no wait, fascinated is more the word, when I saw a stack of old photographs sitting in a basket waiting to be looked at. Why anyone would throw out their photographs is beyond me. I found some really amazing ones. I somehow ended up buying a lot with people and their dogs, or just the dogs themselves.
Here’s a couple I took pictures of.(yes, I lack a scanner therefore a picture of a picture is needed)
"May 15, 1917"- one of the older ones, well of the ones dated on the back
"Lady and Brody, Harbor Island, 3-13-48"
there are a bunch more. I can’t stop looking at them all. They really do captivate. I hope that I am not the only weirdo out there who finds these incredibly interesting. Well, actually I know I am not. Shorpy does too.
John Legend’s “Get Lifted” album always does it for me. Then, now, forever. <3
anyway, imagine listening to your favorite tunes on these babies:
