lyrical perfection.

"It's all up in the air and we stand still to see what comes down/

I don't know where it is, I don't know when, but I want you around/

When it falls into place with you and I, we go from if to when/

Your side and mine are both behind it's indication."

-The Fray.

mhmmm. basically.

airports are kinda like limbo...

i've spent a fair amount of time in airports the past 3 weeks.

and i've come up with some observations.

or opinions.

or just plain people watching commentary:

-Men who fly in suits are incredibly attractive.

-Everything is more expensive in an airport.

-9 out of 10 times, you will get a screaming baby on your flight.

-Traveling alone is the most sane thing you can do.

-People are rude.

-People are considerate.

-Airports are one of the best spots for people watching.

-I wonder if anyone was people watching me.

-How do birds manage to get IN to the airport? And yes, I've seen this on more than one occasion.

-Most of the food options are total crap, but you'll eat them anyway.

-Pilots have an incredibly respectable profession.  I honestly don't know how they do what they do, the idea of driving a truck scares me, let alone flying something that huge up in the air.

-And finally, airports are the earth equivalent to limbo.

There is something about an airport that makes you feel like time is standing still.  The time zone changes, the lighting is almost always the same.  The food options never change.  The uniforms the employees wear are all the same.  When you are in an airport, waiting for your flight, you are, in some ways, untouchable.  There is nothing you can do, but wait to get on your flight.

-Oh. And security can bite the big one right now.  We might as well be naked while going through those damn checkpoints.  Bleh.

But after all this traveling, waiting, and junk food eating...one of the greatest things ever:

hugging someone you love, waiting on the other end, in an airport.

And if you're looking for a good movie that can relate to my theories....this one's a keeper.

i'm just sayin.

-

it is odd?

that the more my friends get into serious relationships...

the further away i gravitate from them?

maybe i just like my independence.

or maybe it hasn't been the right fit yet.

all i know is.

i'm happy where i'm at.

which is a damn good thing.

edit. i'm not cynical.

not cynical at all.

very happy.

just waiting for the right thing.

no pressure.

nope.

none.

you get a day to deal with it.

an actor's motto.

thank you again world for reminding me what it feels like to hit a brick wall.

if i didn't love acting so much.

i'd hate it.

alright.

moving on.

i'll get there...

eventually.

my time will come.

when it's right.

this i know.

so for now. i focus on that audition.

that wonderful audition.

and i wish for the best.

if you want my auto..want my autobiooography....

san francisco take two...was perfect.

but more on that.

later.

a good friend of mine asked me an interesting question tonight...

"if there was one line in a song, any song, that you would use as the title of your autobiography, what would it be?"

this question could change. at least 100 times in the course of my life.

but right now.  it would have to be this:

"your faith has got to be greater than your fear."

it's from the 11th Dimension by Julian Casablancas.

not only is the song catchy. and impossible to sit still to.

but that lyric.

hits me.

every. single. time.

and no. it's not the most catchy book title.

and it's also more of a "personal quote" than it is anything else.

(thanks pickles)

BUT. that wasn't the question.

because any line from a song will most likely be "too long"

but this line.

is beautiful.

if i could truly live my life that way, everyday, i do believe that it would unlock the key to my inner happiness.

and i'm workin on it. trust me.

i've grown a lot. since my younger days.

i just think that this line is so wonderful because as human beings, we let fear rule far too many things in our life.

i'm sick of not saying something. doing something. or feeling something because it "scares" me.

f**k that.

and that word. faith.

 it doesn't have to be religious.

for me, it's not.

at all.

it's more about trusting that things will work out.

wishing for the best.

and knowing that i won't be given anything i can't handle.

so. what would YOUR song line be babies?

so.

san francisco is perfect.

i'm just saying.

a brief post to say...

life is good.

embrace the small things.

the simple pleasures.

the people around you.

we are the sum of who we surround ourselves with.

ps. The Getty is gorgeous.

WHY haven't i been there til now??

going back. soon.

and spending at least an hour in the sketching room.

done and done.

san fran on monday.

the perfect way to end a great winter break.

<3

my favorite time of day

any and all cuddle time with this little one.

i could spend all day with this babygirl. and be the happiest of happy.
