Gratitude Lists

Something that I have always thought was an AMAZING idea was keeping gratitude lists. Just a little list for me to record the things I am thankful for everyday. I have been trying to keep up with it, but in the day to day, it is something that often gets lost. So this is the first official gratitude list being published by the Brunette.

I am going to try and do this at least once a week, so I can look back on the things that have made me happy.

So here goes...

I am thankful for...

1. My parents letting me have a car for the last month and a half. (Even if I no longer get to drive it)
2. The days of sunshine that we do get in this wonderful city.
3. What I think was a successful interview today with New York Collection.
4. John Mayer.
5. All my clean laundry.
6. Taylor Houston.
7. My warm bed, sooo cozy!!
8. Muni.
9. All my BRB Ladies
10. The cup of ice water I am about to drink.

And look how easy that was. I now know of 10 things that I am thankful for at this very moment. Feels good.

Counting Down...

Once again my count down has commenced! For what? JOHN MAYER!!!! I am seeing him 4th row in August and I can't wait. If his last concert blew my mind, I don't know it I will survive being that close to him!!! I can't wait!!!!!

Oh Gravity...

It has been forever since I have posted. Not because I haven't had time, or because I didn't have anything to say; but because I didn't know how to put into words what I experienced on March 26th.

John Mayer was life changing. It was the best concert I have ever been too, and I wish I could relive it again and again. Nothing could compare to my feelings of pure happiness when he opened the show with Heartbreak Warfare... It was amazing...

He played his guitar with such passion and love, I know that his music means the world to him. Haha... I know I sound obsessed but honestly, that concert changed my world a little bit. I even shed a few tears at the sound of his his fingers strumming the first few notes of Gravity.

I wish I could put into words how wonderful it was to see him live, but it is impossible.

The rest of Spring Break was great! It rained the whole time, but I spent most of my days with the girls that I love! It was a beautiful, Dirty Rich break and I wish I could have continued with the endless ritual of staying up late and sleeping in and laughing with the girls.

But now I am back to grindstone, but on the bright side, I have only 34 days until summer... and I can't wait!!!!!

Study Bubble

The bright lights trick all of the diligent students into forgetting that it is 2am. I have been here for hours. The Annex has become like a second home for me and my Classical studies. But I guess I should thank the gods for this educational space, because Zeus knows I would never get anything done anywhere else.

The only thing keeping me going right now is the knowledge that after this Latin test there is very few hours between me and John Mayer. I am so excited.

Anyways I need to get back to the Latin grindstone.

Ciao

The Acoustic Version...

Nothing relaxes me like a little acoustic guitar. It reminds me of home.

Somehow, during my endless hours of sleepless studying in the last two weeks, I managed to track down a few hours of John Mayer live, and I can't get enough. I forgot how magical he is acoustically. He is one of those artists that is even more amazing live.

I wish every human had an acoustic side like John Mayer. Even more amazing in their most organic form. Wishful thoughts...

Half of my Heart

I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been
Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing
Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring

Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you
Oh, with half of my heart

I was made to believe i'd never love somebody else
I made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself
Lonely was the song I sang, 'til the day you came
Showing me a better way and all that my love can bring

Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you
Oh, with half of my heart
With half of my heart

Your faith is strong
But I can only fall short for so long
Time will hold, later on
You will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart
But I can't stop loving you
But I can't stop loving you
But I can't stop loving you with half of my...

Half of my heart
Half of my heart

Half of my heart's got a real good imagination
Half of my heart's got you
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That half of my heart won't do

Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding to a bride with a paper ring
And half of my heart is the part of a man who's never really loved anything

Half of my heart
Half of my heart
Half of my heart
