The Quarter Jam

I'm officially 25! Actually I've been 25 for about a month now, since my birthday was in December, but for that doesn't dull the significance of this post. If I actually lived up to my noble intentions to post more regularly, I wouldn't be too months late on reporting events, but alas don't think it matters too much, since if I'm lucky I probably only have about a dozen readers:-).

Anyways, as I jump into the year, this is probably the second year in my whole life where I've had a real focus. My motivation? Recently accomplishing a goal that seemed completely out of reach at the beginning of 2009, but was officially reached December 6, 2009!

In March 2009 I decided that I was going to stop complaining about how I wanted to do something with music and actually did something. So I rounded up a band and set out to sing in an intimate concert for my friends and family on my birthday.

I got crazy nervous the day of the event and was seriously thinking of just showing up and letting everyone know that I wasn't gonna sing. Funny though, when I stepped up there and opened my mouth, it felt so natural. I can't say it was the most amazing show (maybe second most amazing;-) j/k), but what counts at this stage is just getting up there and opening my mouth to sing. There is much more to come:-D.

Video to come soon, but until then, groove out to Diana Ross' apropo (is that how you spell it?) song "I'm Coming Out," and check out shots taken by my talented photographer friends:


D gets credit for this one! Tryin' to be divas...















What kind of b/day wouldn't it be if I didn't shake it a little?!
