the best of what’s around.

DMB collage

one pair of hot pink j.crew shorts with a 3" inseam.  two pit passes to the dave matthews band show.  three overpriced beers {each}.  it was a father's day that both adam & i will remember. i cannot even tell you how many dave matthews band shows we've been to, but sunday night's show was, by far, one of my favorites.  although i didn't get to hear #41, i did get to hear a few favorites including:  grace is gone, halloween, crash into me, why i am, two step and, of course, best of what's around.

i’m alive

this song warms my ♥.not only because it's two of my faves singing a duet - kenny chesney & dave matthews - but because it's a very meaningful song. especially for me right now. of course, i'm not quite at the point where i can actually breathe a sigh of relief, but still. i'm slowly getting there {i really am trying to learn how to just "let go"}. i just feel that it pretty much sums up the feelings swirling inside of me - especially the verse that is in bold {see below}.http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:cmt.com:437632{source}So damn easy to say that life's so hardEverybody's got their share of battle scarsAs for me I'd like to thank my lucky stars thatI'm alive and wellIt'd be easy to add up all the painAnd all the dreams you've sat and watch go up in flamesDwell on the … [Read more...]

Two Step

Celebrate we will Because life is short but sweet for certain We're climbing two by two To be sure these days continue These things we cannot change{R.I.P. Roi}Can anyone guess where I'll be tomorrow night? Summer just wouldn't be summer without some Dave Matthews Band. I haven't missed a summer show in many, many years. It's always nice when the boys come back to Virginia & jam. Friday evening cannot come fast enough. {the pics are some of my own from the 2007 show...my pics from last year's show aren't as 'nice' and I'll just blame that on the wine} … [Read more...]
