Witnessing a Miracle on America’s Got Talent
About a month ago, I received an email offer from Lakefront Arena for free tickets to a taping of America’s Got Talent while it was here auditioning in New Orleans. The taping was on a Tuesday afternoon, so I thought it would be a nice change of pace during the work week for my assistant [...]
2000 Miles and 1 Left Turn (Figuratively Speaking)
A few weeks ago, I set off with one of my best friends on what would be one of the biggest adventures I’d ever been on. While at a Luke Bryan concert in March, my friend Christy and I plotted an epic journey by way of automobile from New Orleans, LA (or in Christy’s case, [...]
I Should Have Been a Meteorologist…
Last week, I woke up one day and the first thing out of my mouth to my mother was, “Oh no. It’s going to rain today.” She answered, “No it’s not. All of the weather stations say not till next week.” (And we all know the iPhone app never lies, right?) Guess what? She and the [...]
The things we take for granted…
It really bothers me when I see friends, family members, or perfect strangers failing to care for their bodies properly. As someone who has never had a perfectly healthy body and has never lived a day without some kind of physical pain, it annoys me when people take walking, moving, and functioning normally for granted. [...]
Drunk, Stoned, or Just Curious?
Okay, it’s been a while since I’ve run into someone at a concert that freaked me out. Yes, there’s always that stupid, drunk blonde woman in her late twenties that thinks I’m just “too cute,” but she’s just annoying, not freaky. For those of you who have been to a concert with me, you know [...]
Excuses, excuses.
“Work ethic is a set of values based on hard work and diligence. It is also a belief in the moral benefit of work and its ability to enhance character.” -Someone Very Smart I’ve always said that one of my greatest pet peeves is lazy people. There’s really no polite way to say it. It [...]
Ode to Friendship
This blog was inspired by a conversation I had with one of my closest friends the other day about what it really means to be a friend. We compared people in our lives, situations we’ve been in, and these are the conclusions I’ve come to since. True friendship is one of the most important gifts [...]
Newest Frustration
Two nights ago my mom and I went out to dinner with my aunt and uncle at a restaurant in uptown New Orleans, which shall remain nameless. The restaurant is known for its great food and unique atmosphere, and is said to be one of the best restaurants in the area. The service is great, [...]
Little Miss
Anyone who knows me well can tell you I’m a huge fan of Sugarland. Sugarland is without a doubt the best country duo out there right now, though they don’t sound very “country” at all. Thir music is filled with hints of pop, rock, and even a little reggae. It is positive; it can turn [...]
The Power of Music
I am convinced that music is one of the most powerful forces in the world. I don’t know why, but something happens when you combine words with melody that makes the impact of those words ten times greater. Think about it. If I told you to “imagine all the people living life at peace,” in [...]
