A fantastic end to April.. a fantastic beginning to May.
April was a hell of a month for me. I faced ridiculous amounts of adversity. Ridiculous. However, I still managed to make some pretty monumental achievements and this concert was the perfect celebration of those achievements. Yesterday evening my friend Ms. Felzein and I dined outside on a blissfully warm and sunny afternoon, we attend a fabulous concert by The Jacket, painted the town while consuming an ill-advised amount of alcohol and street-cart fare, and I am confident that we walked the equivalent of 'a lap' around the entire city of Raleigh.
Time of your life, eh kid?
My Morning Jacket may not be your typical rock band. Jim James does not have a typical voice. This song "Touch me i'm going to scream part deux" was my anthem for the night... boy did I shout out the words to this song. Not because I actually thought "touch me i'm going to scream", but it alludes to some wisdom that a very good friend bestowed upon me recently. It's easy to lose perspective of your own happiness when you're feeling overwhelmed or uncertain. Instead of living for the happiness that is to come...
...seek the happiness of this moment. Here. Now.
Ohhh this feeling is wonderful, don't you ever turn it off...

PS - I also LOVE LOVE LOVE this song: Gideon. Best heard live (if you get an album, get Okonokos. It's a live recording and my personal fave)
