    I Lost Another Piece of Home Last Week

    September 9, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Many of us have places that we grew up in, places that feel like home outside of our home. Places that hold a special place in our hearts, that are filled with special memories. Places that feel safe even if it doesn't make sense to anyone else.

    ullhead City, Arizona is a community located directly across the Colorado River from Laughlin, Nevada and not too far from Needles, California. For those of you that still don't know what I'm talking about, it is about 90 miles south of Las Vegas. It is also a major part of my childhood.

    And then there is Colima Burgers. And as cheesy and dramatic as it sounds, I mean this will all sincerity, since coming back to California, walking into Colima Burgers has felt like coming home each and every time. Colima Burgers is a family run greasy spoon that I have gone to all my life.

    I was little, it was while I was still in elementary. I have always been a HUGE shave ice fan. I was home with a babysitter, which in my mind was rare. I feel like for most of my childhood, my dad was usually the one home with me and if I did need to be watched 90% of the time I'd either be with my brother and/or his wife or with my dad's best friend's family. Anyways, I digress, this day I was home with a babysitter, possibly my cousin or my future niece (another story), and my dad came home with a shave ice!

Emo but make it classy 💎 One more late post in Emo but make it classy 💎

One more late post in my series of perpetual untimely posts (but this is the last one luckily... at least for now), but I couldn't resist sharing this super cool experience.

Earlier this month I went to the @emo_orchestra with @hawthorneheights. And although at the time I had no idea what I was actually buying tickets for, something (@ge_rar_doh) was telling me I would regret it if I didn't go and I felt like it would probably be a pretty unique experience. 

I may not have known what I was getting myself into but I would 100% go again if I had the opportunity! This was such a fun, unique, and special experience. It was everything I never knew I needed and as a bonus reignited my interest in Hawthorne Heights music 🎶

This post is a bit late (because I seem to be stuc This post is a bit late (because I seem to be stuck in a state of perpetual untimelyness 😳). Despite my failure to post on a reasonable schedule I still wanted to share my back to back musical adventure of a weekend (last weekend) starting with @durrymusic at @thetroubadour 

I discovered Durry sometime early last year (I think. It was sometime before I quit work to freelance) and ever since then I've been hooked. 

I love music but it's been a long time since I've gotten so into a band and fallen so hard for some amazing lyrics. 

I missed their last tour through the area so I knew I had to make time this time around and it was such a good time. They sound great live, put on an amazing show, and are just a good time. 

If you haven't heard them before I highly recommend you check them out. I love so many of their songs and could listen to so many of them on repeat (really they haven't put out anything I don't like yet) but if you need somewhere to start I'd recommend "Worse for Wear" (personal favorite) "Who's Laughing Now" "Coming of Age" and "Encore" ❤️

And they're still on tour so if they're coming to your town and have tickets still available...I say go. You won't regret it!

Been trying to get something from this show posted Been trying to get something from this show posted for nearly a week now and IG just wouldn't have it. And although these aren't my top pix and videos that I originally wanted to share, it's what finally loaded and I'm just happy to be able to share a little bit of this magical night once and for all. 

Last week I got to see @official_neontrees for the first time in probably almost 10 years and it was amazing! So much fun and an experience that far exceeded any expectations I had.

I screamed. I danced. I sang until I lost my voice. And I came to the realization that Neon Trees is much more special to me and holds a significant place in my heart and soul than I had realized.
