Sum 41 in LA: The Farwell Show Fans Deserve
After nearly 30 years, Sum 41 is saying farewell, and I was fortunate enough to be in the pit at their LA show, the second to last stop on their farewell tour before heading overseas to wrap up their Tour Of The Setting Sum. Now I am not the biggest Sum 41 fan, but as a proud elder emo, I’m more than familiar with their catalog of music. I saw them perform at Warped Tour back in the day and their set at WWWY (When We Were Young) last year, was one of the best of the day. I don’t own many of their albums but I have probably blasted…

Mid-Year Check-In (Since I’ve Been MIA for Most of 2024)
Sadly, as I take a look at my blog I realize my last post (in March) was also a “What have I been up to?” post. And although I feel like such a crappy blogger for that I find myself torn between trying to do my best to just write about all the things I’ve been up to this year (old habits die hard and I know that this choice would result in, although many posts, poorly written posts), dive back in as if I haven’t neglected this little project of mine for the past five, nearly six months (but that feels irresponsible), or choice three (the one I’ve clearly…

What Have I Been Up To – February Recap
I've been incredibly busy, I just haven't done anything interesting. Sadly there has been no time for hikes or exploring or even checking out new restaurants. The past month has consisted of working, working out, meal-prepping, and sleeping. Not much else.

Turning 33…Happy Birthday to Me!
I feel more like myself, more excited, and more at peace with the world than I have in a long time. My relationship with my body is rough. My anxiety and insomnia are still in need of some serious management. I still feel lost and unsure of where I'm headed or even want to go. Life is still hard, but life feels doable finally.

A Look Back at 2023: Turning Up the Metaphorical Volume
When it comes to my mission to rediscover myself and wake up the real me that I seem to have lost along the way, last year I feel like I made a major breakthrough and the best way I can think to describe it is that it feels like I finally found a way to slowly start turning the volume back up.

2023 was a Strange Year…And I Don’t Know Why
This year was just strange and got away from me. In many ways, I feel like I didn't do much. If you look at my Bucket List and my goals I didn't meet many of them. At the same time though, as you'll see (if you choose to keep reading this ramble), I actually did do a lot. The first half of the year was filled with tons of waterfall hikes and the second half was packed with concerts (something I haven't done in years).

The Conjuring Universe is a Disappointment
When we first decided to set out on this horror film marathon, I knew all along it would be turned into a blog post and planned on critiquing each movie. However, now that we are done, I just don't think the movies are worth individual critiques, so instead I will just talk about what I thought and why.

Realizing what Neon Trees actually Means to Me
Last week I went to a Neon Trees concert and I realized they are like a long-distance best friend. The special kind that can go years and years without talking, but never miss a beat the moment they are back together. Confused? Let me explain.
