Another new find (for me) is a guy that is just as cool as Linkin Park (without Chester)…that guy is Bassnectar. This guy is INCREDIBLE! Just check out the track “UGLY” [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOfEtjBjhdc] You can find tour dates and plenty of free music on his site BASSNECTAR.NET. He’ll be in NYC on November 17 & 18 at Terminal…
If you’ve been downloading the latest free tracks from Google Play, you may have come across Yuna’s “Live Your Life” from the Lollapalooza free downloads. If you haven’t experienced it, this is my favorite new artist find. Enjoy! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RSXJUG8Sa0]
Since I announced yesterday that I’m preparing to buy a new house, that means changing the way I do a lot of things, as well as taking advantage of what’s out there. So today’s Friday Loves all deal with how to live life without spending money on the stuff you can get for free. 1. …
I haven’t been updating this site with the new entries from Italy as often as I’d like to considering there are 14 entries and photos to match. My excuse is that I’m a little shaken up by the course of events over these past few weeks. It’s that instinctual feeling that you know something very…
1. Midnight in Paris. Now, here’s a movie I’m absolutely in love with. I saw it for the first time this week and I had to laugh because this guy sounds just like me! I think it’s because he’s a writer, that’s why! He heads to Paris for the first time and just falls in…
This is my quote of the day. Of course, I was thinking about my Yves Saint Laurent bag when I saw that, but then I started to really think about it and thought…you know…that has been my secret to success all along. I was thinking about my hockey writing career and how I was able…
A few years ago, I was reading “The Answer” by John Assaraf and Murray Smith. It was a fresh look at how to incorporate “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne into real-life business techniques. I didn’t get too far into the book, but there was one part that I’ll never forget. Assaraf wrote about his own Motivation/Dream/Inspiration/Goal…
“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” – Dr. Seuss Saturday was the last regular season game of my NHL hockey writing career. As I announced it on Twitter, I probably didn’t start to get all choked up until someone from the NHL Alumni tweeted how sad they were to hear that it…
If you’re a hockey person, you’ve probably heard or have been following the Newark Mayor Cory Booker vs. the New Jersey Devils drama that’s been going on in the press since the Arbitrators dished out their ruling on Tuesday. I’ve been following this mess for a few years now. I’ve even talked about it here…
If you’re in NYC, you’ll find a lot of free things happening around the City. Luckily, not everything is limited to just NYC today. 1. FREE CONE DAY! It’s FREE CONE DAY at Ben & Jerry’s all across the US today. Stop into your local ice cream shop between 12PM and 8PM today to get…
After reading this wisdom from Mother Teresa, it reminded me that usually, a person would have this kind of wisdom when they are old. With age comes wisdom. The irony is…sometimes I feel like an 80 year old woman with the way my body is breaking down and half the stuff I write about and tell…
Ok…before I copy and paste this email I got on my private email address…keep in mind this was sent to ME…a woman. This is probably the funniest email I have ever read in my life. Enjoy! [In the pink are my comments] Private Email Message Tuesday, March 27, 2012 3:36 PM From: “Capri Faulkner” kuyiydddoq@1095dialup.com …
While this sounds a little dullsville…it’s actually not. I actually forced myself to NOT spend money today. Here are some things I did that actually just goes right along with my lifestyle. 1. Brought My Meals To Work. On Sunday, I decided to cook…and I cooked up a lot of meals. I roasted a ham I…
Today’s post is an inspirational one. I was wondering when my magical karmic ride would start to fall. Sometimes when things seem too good to be true, you’re always waiting for that fall. I’ve been waiting for four years for that fall…and it finally came. I keep thinking about how I used up all of that…
I think today’s post is really for a friend. We were talking today about taking chances in life. We’re both alike…afraid to get stuck in a cage (aka a relationship). I have really been thinking about my biggest regret over this last week. Twelve years ago, when I was around my friend’s age, I was…
Have you ever seen Crazy, Stupid, Love? I didn’t really know what the movie was about when I sat down to watch it over the weekend. There were so many story lines that all ended up converging at the end to talk about one central story…the one true love…and whether it existed. Sometimes you discover that…
As I’ve been preparing for my trip back to Morocco, I have been wondering what I should bring back with me after I meet with business owners all across the country to bring a little bit of Morocco back to the US for all of you. Sure, there’s the argan oil, the rose factories, the textiles businesses, the pottery…
If you’re not a member of Birchbox, you really should become a member. For $10 a month, they’ll send you a surprise package filled with deluxe samples of new items that you can try out. If you like what they’ve sent, you can purchase the items online. I have very sensitive skin. As my friends…
I really should not be left to my thoughts…or Orlando Bloom on a day off. Or maybe I should, because it produced a productive 16 pages in 3 hours for the book I’ve been working on since I got back from Morocco. I had been a little perplexed over the last few months trying to decide…
