I'm twenty nine today!

Rachel had a surprise birthday jam for me on Sunday!

We played Temp's favorite new pasttime (?) Bocce ball!

Rock at 6pm, Friday the 13th

My friend Peter and his band, Olympia, came to visit us at the Peppermint Beach Club last night. The Virginia Beach paparazzi teens were out in full effect and I really didn't know what I was doing (in these low lighting club conditions) so I surrendered the boring job of "shooting the band" to the local kids. There were like four or five them snapping away in the front row!

Jack Osbourne was there!


After they played, Peter came to dinner with us and we talked business.

Then Peter left us for the wild nightlife on the road- 'The Strip' of Virginia Beach Oceanfront! Candy Kitchen, salt water taffy and airbrushed vacation t-shirts, yeah!

My hard drive failed me. For me, the ever-positive and promising Apple spokesman, that I've become, this is quite a blow. I can now say that Mac's fail too! Luckily this "hard drive failure" was still covered under warranty. Unluckily, my near finished Berzerkers 9 part was on that hard drive (as well as tons of photographs and other digital valuables) and they are under no warranty and may not be retrievable. I back up my music pretty regularly, after my iPod's hard drive crashed on me about a year ago, so that is good. I just need to get in the habit of backing up everything more regularly. Go back up anything important to you right now! This hard drive failure came without warning on a computer only 7 months old. This could happen to anyone, even you.

“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching...”
Martha Graham (American Dancer, Teacher and Choreographer of modern dance, 1894-1991)
