<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">This
summer, Anne went to about 1,000 DMB concerts. This year, with each ticket
purchase, concert-goers also received a copy of the new CD, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>Come Tomorrow</i></b><i> </i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">in the mail</span>. I don’t understand how
the album makes any money this way, though I’m hopeful there was a method to
the madness. If it was simply to get the music into more hands, it worked! Anne
sent me a copy and it’s been great background music the past month.</span></div>

the childlike anticipation creates, like Christmas morning, when your mind’s

I’m sure the time it took for her to recognize him was agonizing, as he was
infatuated with the mystery of falling in love.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I love the trees in Oregon. The
Douglas Fir is my favorite. They are monstrous, and part of my allure to Oregon.
When their green tops, high in the sky, are laced with the Pacific mist and
fog, they resemble creepy alien movies. Did you know, Pine Needle Tea contains
a shit ton of Vitamin C? Also high in Vitamin A too, Fir needles are the same, though
they actually taste more like citrus and less like turpentine. When I worked at
Sly Park Environmental Science Camp during AmeriCorps NCCC, we use to pluck
them from the branches with the kids and chomp ‘em up on our hikes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> Though I have mixed feelings about
zoos and zoo concerts, I’ve been to a handful of shows at the Oregon Zoo, in
Portland, over the years. Normally, I arrive well after the doors open to miss waiting
in the long lines in the hot, setting sun. This year, I was on time, and had to
wait in line before beginning my strool through the zoo grounds to the amphitheater.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Since I’ve moved here, the Oregon
Zoo has undergone several renovations to enhance many exhibits, as well as the
amphitheater, which provide better views of the stage. The shows are General
Admission and folks pack the large sloped lawn with blankets and low chairs. To
the right of the stage are the reserved patios and cafe. To the left is the renovated
elephant habitat. Though, the best spot in the venue is in the stage pit
located right down at the stage. The pit must hold no more than 400
comfortably, but the venue itself holds about 2,700. This space allows for a
party without standing in the view of anyone on the lawn.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>On May 13, 2016, the Indigo Girls
played a show at Portland’s First Congregational Church. It was a benefit for
reconciling ministries network. It was inspiring to hear songs like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">It’s Alright, Go, Our Deliverance, Rise of
the Black Messiah, and Let It Ring </i>in a church, though we were on the
second floor and it was sweltering. Before this benefit show, Emily and her
father, Don Saliers, did an intimate performance during the United Methodist
Church General Conference at the Convention Center. We had appetizers and made
conversation with the conference attendees upon arrival.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in 6.0in; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Then, the evening’s events started
with a ceremony performed by an Indigenous group from Central and South
America. Amy S, in her sundress, sat second row on the isle. We hear the
flapping of a chicken coming up the aisle from behind. Held by its feet, the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">chickenman</i> tousled the bird around as if
he was wafting burning sage through the air with it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in 6.0in; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>At the time, I was so sick. A severe
sinus infection, undiagnosed at the time, which would then cause conjunctivitis
the following day. I had suffered through the work day excited about the shows,
but was heavily self medicated on medicine cabinet leftovers. In slow motion, I
watched the wavering chicken approach <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Please
don’t snap her neck.</i> As she passed, her feathered wing gently caressed down
Amy’s bare arm with such force I felt the breeze that carried through Amy’s
windblown hair. In slo-mo awe, grateful I didn’t take that aisle seat, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">please don’t snap her neck </i>was still my
main concern.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Drums, chanting, prayers, introductions,
photos, and a safe chicken, the night proceeded. Emily and her Dad, Don
referenced the book they wrote together, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A
Song To Sing, A Life To Live</i>. They shared stories, sang church songs, and
surprised us with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">All That We Let In </i>with
Don singing Amy Ray’s parts. They even did a snippet of Hammer and Nail to
demonstrate its likeness to an old gospel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the Oregon Zoo, and the zookeepers begin the Birds of Prey Pre-Show. The hawks
are suppose to fly from one post to another, around the lawn, and grab food in
the air on the way back to their box on the stage. Fuck that. Any situation
that begins with “everyone, stop where you are and get down,” I’m out of. I
shook my little tail feather side stage, covered my beer with my hand, and hid behind
the volunteer security. Who was a lady about 70 years young, mind you. Luckily,
I had made it out of the pit just in time to turn back around and watch Amy S’s
blue hair get fluttered in the wind by the low flyer’s swift buster of flight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

our friends began to arrive. Jiblet from LA, Angela and Grant from Canada, many
re-peat concert acquaintances, and even local Portland musicians, Kaia Wilson
and Lindsay Fuller. Then, out of my peripheral vision, I see a flash of short
platinum blonde hair and a large cardboard sign on which one side read, “see
you at the next show,” and the other read, “Get Out The Map” with a list of 5
cities along side empty check boxes. I had met my concert sprit animal, and of
course, her fucking name was Amy. So we call her Munkers, and though we each
weren’t attending the same 5 shows, I knew we were gonna have fun at the gigs
that overlapped.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Lucy Wainwright Roche’s set started
and there were several beer runs and merch visits. Though I do love when Lyris
accompanies Lucy. Lyris brings so much more life to her music. After many
stages of hair, Lyris is finally rocking the mo-hawk and I love it. Amy Ray was
wearing her Fern Gully Chic pants again, with the new button-up with red trim
and arrows. The style of the new shirt still reminds me of the St Pepper’s
jacket she wore in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Joking</i> music
video from 1992. Emily had on a clean pair of jeans with various tears and a
cool left pocket. She had on a black tshirt I hadn’t seen before with what
looked to be a green or yellow abstract bird along the neckline. Over the
tshirt, she had on a red and black plaid short sleeve, opened button-up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">1. It’s Alright</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> – Opening with this song is always so
poignant. The addition of Lyris on violin really helps glide you right into the
night. My coworker Kathy popped out right as the song started and we confirmed
we’d meet right in the same spot for Melissa Etheridge in July!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">2. Devotion</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> – Devotion also always just feels right
in the beginning of the set. Emily invited Lucy back out to the stage, “We’ve
known Lucy a looong time!” The backdrop of Doug Firs was so cool and Emily’s
hair was glowing in the sunlight. I was so glad to be standing on her side.
Also, from this angle, the mic stand doesn’t block Amy Ray’s face!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and swig it, baby! Some choose to be discrete with their pendulums, but it’s
2018 and like I said, I was starting to feel my beers. Amy S’s smiling eyes and
mischievous smirk brought me such joy. I was laughing so hard, but Angela

sing the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Salty South</i> lyrics while the

1. It’s easier to sing <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Gone Again </i>to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Salty South</i> cause I know those lyrics
better. 2. I have to apologize to Jiblet for my singing, cackling, side

a capacity of just 450 (50 more seats than Kirkland). Though unlike Kirkland’s
Performance Center, the inside of the Rialto is very tall and hard, with a
balcony, which caused a slight echo. It made for a diverse sound amidst an
extended tour, but the sound could not compare to Kirkland’s cushy walls and no
balcony, encapsulating a real studio feel.</span></div>

(maybe ignored?), but instead said, “We’re gonna play a really sad song now. It
doesn’t feel right, but we’re all set up for it!” Already, they knew the place
was hoppin’! Amy introduced Lucy Roche again and confessed how she had Lucy’s voice
in mind when she wrote <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Spread The Pain

which made Lucy feel extra awkward.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

as the Kirkland peeps, but this is always a staple on tour. At this point, I’ll
introduce the Tacoma Screamer. She was in the row behind me, maybe 5 seats to
my right and was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">very</i> enthusiastic. I
love the excitement between songs and maybe a quick shout during a guitar solo,
but this was blood curdling and though sometimes appropriately timed, mostly just
consistent and primarily obnoxious.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Screamer, my friend, Amy, yelled out “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Let
Me Go Easy!”</i> from our seats. Amy Ray and Emily were already holding their <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Reunion</i> guitars but stopped in their
tracks. They whispered to each other for a bit, told Lucy to stay on stage as
she tried to sneak away. They actually played the request <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">right there on the spot!</i> Lyris filled in on the violin and our
night was made.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I’m not sure how anybody knows it! Nah, it was on something.” (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Rarities </i>in 2005) Amy spoke about
visiting her friend Neelok, before she passed of cancer, and recalled a
conversation they had while Neelok hid in the bathroom from the hospice staff,
most likely smoking. “We were talking and I lifted a bunch of quotes from her
to write this song.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

(as we have been referring to the acoustic version since the Symphony
arrangement of the song) was starting to turn into another staple on this tour
with renewed energy. Amy has always dedicated <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Go</i> to the youth in the World who can make a change, but it’s most
appropriate now more than ever. Emily tore it up again on electric, but it was
Lyris who nailed her violin solo! The song was already starting to evolve on

into to the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Wood Song</i> intro. I’ve
seen them do this with Lyris probably close to 20 times by now and every time,
Lyris freestyles a completely different intro. Sometimes upbeat, sometimes sorrowful,
sometimes blue grassy, or rock, or folk but tonight was all out dramatic and
sucked me into another world. I love that her intro to the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Wood Song</i> almost tends to set the tone for night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">10. Share The Moon –</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> I was thrilled to see this moved up in
the set list, opening up a vital slot in the Encore! After the Kirkland, WA
show, I sent a note back stage to Amy Ray requesting her 20-year-old song, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Point Hope</i>. Now, with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Share The Moon</i> in the middle of the set,
I was hopeful to hear <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Point Hope</i> in
the Encore. (Spoiler Alert: She never played <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Point Hope</i> at any show, but I digress). More people in the crowd
joined us for the hand claps. The members though, now even more confused about
the audience participation, surely hated it. So, we clapped louder and prouder.
I mean, come on, there are only 4 claps in the whole song! Amy loved it and
smiled over to us!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was from <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Beauty Queen Sister</i> as
opposed to two nights before and spoke more about Lucy’s harmonies. She told
the story about the birds following from the sky again. How some thought it was
the fireworks that caused the deaths, how some thought it was a vision of what’s
to come. But Emily thinks of goodness and open hearts and truth in power. She
spoke about those currently in power and how we, the birds, need to sing for
change.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

been one of my all-time favorites. For me, it was the first song I learned to

“I’ll send it to you soon.” which made us all giggle. Then they mentioned that

were already in Seattle, walking home after the Showbox show when Nich messaged
us via Facebook to offer 2 tickets! Since it was about midnight, we immediately
thought it was a scam, and treaded lightly until we met the next night in
Kirkland. His sister had come down with a cold and wasn’t able to attend, but we
also didn’t want to scare him off, so we were very nonchalant about our fandom

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We’ve been anxious to hear the
album’s production and mixing since some of the orchestral sounds have a
tendency to be drowned out by guitar and vocals in the live performances (ex:
the drums). However, the four singles that were released over the past month
(Go, Galileo, Kid Fears, Closer To Fine) have all sounded amazingly
well-balanced and we’re thrilled to hear the rest!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This song has consistently evolved
over the years! I remember when the acoustic bootlegs of just Amy and her
guitar started circulating through the fans. She even joked that she needed
Tomi Martin to play the guitar solo! Then Sugar Tongue got the added band
arrangement on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Poseidon and the
Bittterbug, </i>with Emily nailing the solo on both the band and acoustic
versions. The tour to support <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Poseidon </i>was
an acoustic tour with Julie Wolf on keys and accordion. Sugar Tongue got Wolf’d
with 2 acoustic guitars and a key arrangement. Then it reached its glory with
the Symphony arrangement - my favorite version. But just last week, Sugar
Tongue came back to the set list, totally stripped down; Another new arrangement
with Amy on the electric Gibson and Emily on acoustic 6-string! Amy forgot a
chord and some lyrics, but I was blown away with the balance of both the simplicity
and the force that the song encapsulated. At the Portland Zoo, she was able to
redeem herself with a crystal clear copy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">1. Fill It Up Again - Amy and Emily came out on
their guitars and we’re greeted with Hawaiian leis. I missed the connection,
but the flowers smelled beautiful from were I was sitting in the third row.
“Better than I <i>was</i> smellin,” Amy said! Haha!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Lucy

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">4. Dairy Queen - So exciting! It’s been a while
since I’ve seen this song and the suck-n-blow harmonica was back! People
actually laughed at the first line “I heard that you were drunk and mean down
at Dairy Queen” like they did when it first came out in 2003!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">5. Elizabeth - Emily told us that she had flown
to New York last night to see Jojo, who was a young singer from the early
2000’s. I guess Jojo fell victim to the music industry and had to lay dormant
for years, but now she is back and Emily was very excited to support her.
However, she acknowledged her jet lag looniness and joked, “Thats why you
shouldn’t fly in the day of the show, but it’s more fun this way!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in 6.0in; text-autospace: none;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">6. Spread the Pain Around (aka Keg-o-wine) -
Breathtaking. The sound in this venue is superb. After the song, Amy said,
“Whenever I sing this in Seattle, I think of Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam since I
used the phrase “better man.” Then they bantered about how easy it is to rip
off songs, but whenever they finally realize it in the writing process, they
drop the song all together. Perfect segue into mentioning they are working on
their new album. No details, but Emily mentioned she was working on a song she
was really diggin, but realized it was the same song she had written the week
before!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">7. Get Out The Map - when the chorus came its
like the entire audience had been holding in one collective sneeze that they
were dying to get out like an explosive choir. This seemed like the crowd
favorite of the entire night. You could tell that the ‘Girls were impressed
with the crowd’s singing once everyone opened up for the rest of the show.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">8. Three Hits - After the song, someone in the
crowd yelled out “The John Song!” in reference to John, from the album, Beauty
Queen Sister.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Emily: Oof, you can’t do that to me, I take
things very literally, and need time to process what I’m told. I was like… ‘no,
that’s impossible!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">9. Able to Sing - Emily introduced this song as
her political song. She explained the nursery rhyme reference, she sang the ‘4
and 20 Blackbirds’ song and related the <i>birds</i> to <i>singing to the king</i>
for a change. “Truth into power,” she said!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">10. Slo-Go - Since the symphony arrangement of
Go, it’s very tame these days, but I loved that even though Amy was on her
acoustic, Emily tore it up on Electric! This also may have been the first time
we got some spit action from Amy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">14. Sugar Tongue. This was my favorite part of
the night. The song has another new arrangement with Amy on electric guitar and
Emily on acoustic. You can tell they don’t have it flushed out yet though
because Amy forgot some words and had to hum along. “I was so shocked I hit
those high notes, I just forgot what I was doing!” She apologized after. Emily
chirped that when those moments happen, they always go by so fast! This also
may have been where the running joke of the night started - Emily was sassy and
kept saying that things weren’t competitive, with a sly look in her eye that
said otherwise. It came up twice and her timing was just hilarious!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Amy was on her 12 string guitar!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">16. Shame On You. During the guitar handoff
before the song, I hear Emily say to Jerry, “This is the one with the switch.
Can you remember that?” She said it a few times, then joked into the mic that
they were working on their logistics. When Jerry switched out Emily’s banjo for
her electric guitar midway through the song, Amy yelled out, “Jerry’s big
moment!!!” The crowd went nuts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

set. My expectations have already been exceeded and this was only night 1 of 4!
I also managed to get in a song request after the show. So send it up to the
song Goddesses and maybe I’ll hear Point Hope for the first time this week!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman";">Paul Simon’s Graceland was released just a year before I was born, and I’m sure I was just days old the first time I heard it. Though I have clearer memories from ten years later when he released Songs from the Capeman, containing Paul’s own performances of the songs he wrote for his musical, The Capeman, a commercial bust that ended up losing money. But for my young ears, the explicit lyrics were intriguing, full of slang I didn’t yet know, and the layered doo-wop vibes, rock ’n’ roll, and Puerto Rican rhythms transported me to a different world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman";">Now, at 31 years old, I had the immense honor of breathing the same air as Paul Simon, inside the Moda Center (formally the Rose Quarter Arena) in Portland, Oregon. In a deep purple suit jacket, he welcomed the screaming fans to his Homeward Bound: The Farewell Tour!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman";">“About that last part,” he said, “The ‘farewell’ bit…” the crowd yelled their appreciations, “I lied!” he admitted! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman";">Loving the reaction from the fans, Paul continued, “I said it to boost ticket sales!” He looked around, spread his arms wide and continued, “And look! It worked!” Another roar from the crowd - this time laughter. Paul assured us that he’s not going to stop writing or recording music, and confirmed he’s not saying he will never play live again. He said he is most excited for the unknown of what-to-do-next, not wanting to repeat anything he’s done before.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman";">Appropriately timed, Paul’s next album will be a Rarities Collection of song demos spanning his entire career. A bridge, I suppose, into what I guess now will be considered his “later years.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman";">Though, at 75 years old, the guy has still got it going on. Voice smooth as ever, and never loosing his breath, he had some pretty quick feet and slick dance moves. I’m not even making it up! He must be watching Justin Timberlake videos on Youtube. Though through most of the show, he stood at the head of the stage playing his 6 string acoustics, or his electric, or his 12 string acoustic guitar. He conducted his 15 (or so) piece ensemble with his hands in the air as if they floated outside a car window on a long highway drive.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman";">I was hoping for some songs from 2000’s You’re The One, including Darling Lorraine, or Old. He didn’t play those two, but it was okay because instead, we got 27 songs spanning his entire career in almost 3 hours. Paul opened the night with a goosebump inducing, America, straight into 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover. Songs like That Was Your Mother as well as Mother and Child Reunion were brought to life with a reggae edge and a Big Easy bounce. Though it was Rewrite I ended up with stuck in my head the entire next day.</span></div>

<span style="color: #16191f; font-family: "times new roman";">“Any requests?” Paul asked. A wave of song titles were thrown at him starting from the stage, screaming all the way back from the 300 section where we were seated. Paul put his hands up, palms out. The crowd continued their pleas. Paul shook his head, and eventually quieted the crowd…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #16191f; font-family: "times new roman";">“I don’t do requests.” He says and launches into the next song.</span></div>

When it was released in 2016, I listened to the album for about 6 months straight, hearing something new almost every time. A true masterpiece.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman";">Regardless of what he was about to play next, I felt so grateful to have the opportunity to watch the legendary Paul Simon, live in action, rocking the songs I’ve been listening to my entire life. My friend, Molly and I sang along with Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard, though it was the group yMusic, a sextet chamber ensemble from New York City that stole middle of the show. We were familiar with yMusic from their extensive work with Ben Folds on his 2015 album, So There as well as The Staves’ 2017 album, The Way is Read. What a fucking treat to see them in action!</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman";">Paul laughed as he told the story of his strangest titled song ever, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Rene and Georgette Magritte..</i>. My friend, Angela, retold the story on social media:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Joan had to take a phone call, so — side note: in the course of my research, I learned that Joan Baez’s father invented the x-ray microscope. Just over here casually changing the course of history, the Baezes. anyway — So Joan Baez gets a phone call and leaves the room, and Paul Simon sees a book of the painter René Magritte, ‘who I admired, and still admire,’ on her bookshelf and starts flipping through it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #16191f; font-family: "times new roman";">You know, the thing about Paul Simon is that there is no hint of a guy trying to recapture glory days or relive some former incarnation of himself. Seeing some older performers can feel that way. The heyday gone, the magic mostly over.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #16191f; font-family: "times new roman";">If anything, here the magic is bigger and more present. More rooted. More real. More epic. Paul Simon is not trying to be anything.

<span style="color: #16191f; font-family: "times new roman";">Their photo was shown on the screen at the end of the song, and I must admit, I teared up as well. It is quite cool that he gets to take Rene and Georgette on tour with him after all these years. Paul also remembered that once he settled on the song title, he knew he had to write something “as obscure as René’s paintings.” So he thought back to his favorite 50’s R&B bands and layered vocals in the studio, “narrowing the targeted audience down to about 175 people,” he joked.</span></div>

<span style="color: #16191f; font-family: "times new roman";">After the absolutely gripping Can’t Run But, yMusic and Paul’s band settled back into their spots to play my telepathic request, Wristband! Now, the Portland show was only the third show of the tour, and Wristband had not yet been played! I feel like there is a lesson here, like, ‘silence is louder than impatience.’</span></div>

<span style="color: #16191f; font-family: "times new roman";">It was worth the wait and after a couple more songs, an instrumental version of Si and G-funk’s El Condor Pasa (If I Could) sent chills through the venue and pivoted the tone of the show. Midway through an 8 minute version of The Cool, Cool River, Paul forgot his lyrics and requested a prompt from the band, “Anyone know the words?!” Picking up where he left off, the song was set on fire and burned smooth to the finish. Though Paul wasn’t impressed with himself. “Because I made a mistake and forgot the lyrics to that song, I’m going to penalize myself. I’m going to sing one of my songs that I loathe. Just bring me my six string!” Speaking to the band he says, “Guy’s if you don’t want to play, you don’t have to.”</span></div>

<span style="color: #16191f; font-family: "times new roman";">“Okay, this will teach me, because I just, I hate this song.” Before he started plicking at the strings, I wondered if this was all part of </span><span style="color: #16191f; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">the show, but it really seems as though the band isn’t quite sure what’s about to happen…</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman";">The main set ended back on track with Diamonds of the Soles, and Call Me Al. With every familiar song, a reminder the show was far from over, even when he left the stage for the first of… THREE encores! It just. kept. going. And I never wanted it to stop.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman";">Classics like Kodachrome, Mrs Robinson, Still Crazy, Graceland, and the Boxer were scattered over the first two encores. I thought the multiple encores was a genius idea. If I were Paul, I’d want a water break, a pee break, and a sit break after the 2 hour mark too! Homeward Bound was another standout - perhaps my most anticipated song of the night. Full of nostalgia, choked up and wide eyed, this song brought me back to long weekend drives with my Dad through Leominster, Massachusetts, up to Trap Falls, listening to Paul’s Homeward Bound, the Indigo Girls’ World Falls, or Joni Mitchell’s You Turn Me On, I’m A Radio. Indigo actually went on to record their own version of Homeward Bound with Alison Brown in 2005.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman";">The main set ended with Late in the Evening. They say you always want to keep them wanting more. And we did. Just Paul and his guitar for the final two songs of the night. He spoke about Half Earth Foundation, created by E. O. Wilson, who said, “If we take care of the planet, by the next century we could be living in paradise.” In his book, he lays out a plan to save our planet. Paul told us that all the proceeds from his last tour went to the Ed Wilson foundation and encouraged us to save endangered species and ecosystems. He played an acoustic, Questions for the Angels. Then, without skipping a beat, he bid us adieu with a haunting version of The Sound of Silence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #16191f; font-family: "times new roman";">“He started: ‘You know, we live in a weird time. I’ve been thinking about… well, all the same things all of you are thinking about. Racism. Sexism. Gender issues. Equality. About the difference between a free society and an authoritarian one. Hmm… am I allowed to talk this much?’ (crowd wildly asserts that Paul Simon can talk as much as he wants.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #16191f; font-family: "times new roman";">And he continued: ‘There were 3.5 billion humans on the planet when I was a kid. There are 7 billion now. It’s projected to grow to 9 billion soon. So actually, despite everything, we’re thriving. Humans are thriving. Whether that’s a good or a bad thing, I don’t know, but… well, anyway, we are thriving. And for the younger people in the room, especially: If we don’t take care of the planet, all our other problems and struggles will be moot anyway.’<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #16191f; font-family: "times new roman";">His parting words, after the bows, the guitar handoff, and right before leaving the stage: ‘I learned this saying once when I did a tour in Spain. It’s this: ‘We’re not mountains, so we’ll meet again."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 16.0pt;"> Earlier this year, in one of my Creative
Writing classes, we were given the exercise to recreate a narrative by
rearranging lines from lyrics, poems, books, etc. Of course, we were then encouraged
to build off of that foundation to write something more original. But here is what
I constructed with some of my favorite lyrics written by female
singer-songwriters about art, love, confidence, community, politics, not
knowing what to say, and what is pop?</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

It was the season premiere of Survivor. Outwit. Outlast. Outplay. The adventure intrigued me. By the season finale, when Susan Hawk rips both Richard Hatch and Kelly Wigglesworth new assholes, we were hooked. My parents and I have watched ever since, routing for the more-family-oriented contestants. When I officially moved to Portland three and a half years ago, I started taking notes as I watched each episode to email to my Mom. That way, we can still bond over the show. This season, Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, I will be sharing my thoughts.</span></span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size: large;">I am so glad for 2-day weekends! Due to a schedule swap last week, I only had 1 day to relax between work weeks. However, this weekend, I have enjoyed live music, writing, napping, pizza delivery, and finishing Stranger Things 2. How cow, that show. I get sucked right into their world, and as scary as it can be, I never want to leave. To help quench my Stranger Things thirst, I watched the after show, Beyond Stranger Things. The creators, the producer and most of the entire cast joined in on the fun to share stories and provide a sneak peek behind the scenes. Highly recommended. Saddened, yet not surprised by the absence of Wynona Rider, though. But now, for a completely different change of pace, I’ve got a Fijian beach to catch up on.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Starting the show off the right way. With tears! I wonder how many Survivor tears Fiji has seen.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Ali’s gotta wipe those tears and fight harder if she wants to make the merge.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Haha! Dr Mike dropped his fish in the fire! Super sweet of him to share though.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Cole on the other hand. I certainly wouldn’t miss seeing him on this show if he went next.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ I’m with Fisherwoman - Unimpressed: “Talk buddy. Talk til your heart can’t talk no more.”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Jeff: “The last person voted out… Roark.” And everyone looks at each other like, “who’s that?!”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ I never want to do anything involving a balance beam. This looks hard!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Poor Ashley and Dezzy just can’t get it.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Wow. Jeff is actually wading in the water. I never see him get wet!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Joe and Cowboy have already lost noticeable weight.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Oh, now hungry Cole has to share his precious pizza?! I never even want to share a pizza!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ I do like JP, so I’m not thrilled Bellhop is thinking about voting his way.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ I also kinda don’t mind Joe these days. I wouldn’t mind seeing him make it a bit further. But I like Dezzy too, so I hope they don’t go to Tribal.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ And Cole hits the ground. Not even a medic came out? I wonder if he did it on purpose so Jessica would give him her food.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Cowboy: “Before he came out here he should have packed on a few pounds and not worried about his six-pack.” Cut to Lauren nodding seriously in the background.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Lauren is sitting out the challenge again? I have a feeling she’ll make the merge, but I’m interested to see how well she does at solo challenges.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ This puzzle looks impossible to do with a group of people!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Whoever wins certainly deserves it.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ OMG! I can’t believe how close this is!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ They are ALL TIED! I can’t believe this!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Jeff is shitting himself!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Damn. Roark’s team is heading back to Tribal.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ I have a feeling it’ll be Ali. I like her, but her strategy has sucked, she’s had bad luck and she shouldn’t have yelled at Bellhop earlier.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ I’ll be sad if Cole makes it further in the game than JP. I like JP a lot.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Ali: “I’ve put my loyalty in the wrong person.” Yeah, no shit. All of them.</span></div>
<div class="p1">

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sober October<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">…and then some.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
What normally is my <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">No-Alcohol-November</i> has turned into <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sober October</i>. This is the fourth consecutive year that I have taken the month-long abstinence from booze. It’s a pep talk to my immune system! It ensures I’m hydrated and helps me enter the long winter months with a sense of mental clarity. This break is something that I look forward to yearly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I started my <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">No-Alcohol-November </i>tradition in 2014, my first year in my current apartment. It was a choice. In a way, it felt empowering, like those first few, easy checkmarks off your to-do list. I knew it would be a satisfying way to be in control, and a quick turn-around to feel the strength of success.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Now I know that “4” is not a typical anniversary year, however, I believe what we accomplish (or chose to exclude, in this case, I suppose) should be celebrated daily. Because we’re worth it, dammit. And everyone should know.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
That first year was an easy attempt. The concept is a bit gimmicky in general, so by excitingly telling my peers, their attention was caught and I was held accountable to meet my goal. I wanted to lead by example and though some folks were impressed, some Happy Hour goers just didn’t get why I’d go dry.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Alcoholism runs in my family. I’ve dealt with it directly and indirectly with family members, though many of them have gone 100% sober after years of overindulging. Although the darker years are never forgotten, the sense of accomplishment and pride will forever outshine. But it’s in my genes too. So to keep myself in check, I give it up once a year, for a month, and then ease back in throughout the Holidays, because it’s COLD after New Year’s and that whiskey warms those places that space heater don’t.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
And I sure do love me some whiskey. Or, sometimes, a celebratory cocktail. Maybe the occasional glass of red or white wine, vodka in the summer, or tequila on the beach. I even don’t mind a $10 Bud Light at an outdoor concert, back home, in Boston, in July. As long as the music’s good. But usually, it’s the whiskey. Preferably Bourbon. Never Scotch.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I’m not sloppy though. I don’t get angry or overemotional. Like with a Red Bull energy drink, I grow wings. I remember my conversations, I create and laugh, and get just plain chatty. I don’t over-consume, though I’m the kind of person where if it’s in the house, there’s a glass waiting in the kitchen. Much like with my coffee consumption, it’s not how much - it’s how often. And my Father always taught me: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">everything in moderation.</i> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I must admit, I cheated once last month (first week - White Russian – worth it) and once in 2015, during my second annual liquor-fast. Though it’s called a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">fast</i>, it didn’t go by very <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">quickly</i> that year. On a roller coaster of work stress and personal weight, I craved a drink to relax every other day. One day, I finally broke and begged for a shot at my friend, Amanda’s door. I drank it with zero regrets. Then she offered a lovely dinner.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Last year, 2016 was also very difficult. I mean… <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The. Election</i>. But my friend, Pope came out West to visit for the last week of the month, which helped get me through the home stretch, alcohol-free.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
This year, to mix it up, I decided to detox in October instead. Really, I just have too many fun things planned this month, and I expect to have more than just a Holiday toast. This month yields 3 Tori Amos concerts, 2 Seattle trips, 2 Emily Saliers concerts, and 1 amazing Thanksgiving dinner with my friend, Lela and her family! I even have an Ani Difranco ticket! What am I most excited for? Lela’s meat stuffing and guava pie, for sure.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I predict I will fully enjoy myself at these special events over the next few weeks. However, to keep my pennies in my piggy, I will not be visiting the liquor store until Christmas. This will allow for larger Christmas shopping funds in the meantime! Shutterfly shipped my stack of 2017 Holiday cards, and although I had coupons, that cardstock ain’t free! Most importantly though, this extended diet will maintain my gorgeous complexion.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="p4">

<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">"I worked on this song while I was overseas last spring, trying to understand things firsthand. I traveled to Lesvos, Greece, and worked with a small Dutch NGO called Because We Carry. It's a tiny team of people serving a camp called Kara Tepe, which houses mostly families. I took my son, Ash, who was almost two at the time, and we helped distribute breakfast to the tin boxes the size of small trucks that are sometimes crammed with a family of eight. We played soccer and shared ukulele songs with the kids. We danced. I've never seen a more generous group of children than these refugee kids, and that was one of the things that struck me deepest: We, as a group, have forgotten how to be generous – not just with our wallets and our policies – but with our imaginations. This could have been my life, my child, my story. I got to know some of the women there, particularly some of the Afghan ones, and I tried to understand the actual human story behind the viral photos.</span></span></div>

That means that I can make art at exactly the pace I want to, pair up with risky collaborators, and make far more uncertain and venturesome choices than I could when I was working with a label. Nowadays I can meet a wild-eyed artist on Twitter, send him a DM, and a few months later cut him a check – using my fans' money – to pay for a film crew and a boat rental for a video that doesn't even have a script or a deadline. I knew I couldn't make an ordinary music video for this song, and I took a leap of faith in Abel and his team to create something that fit.</span></span></div>

<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">"Because the Patreon funded the cost of the video itself, we are going to take 10% of the proceeds from the 7-inch single and 100% of the digital proceeds for the next month and pay them forward to Because We Carry. I can't tell you how profoundly liberating it feels to make art like this; to be able to work and respond so directly to the state of the world and other artists around me. It feels like a small but significant revolution in terms of the way artists can confront the massive political storm facing us right now. Because ultimately, art and music can do a way better job of creating change in the world when the art-makers can focus their time and passion on making the art instead of selling it."</span></span></div>

It was the season premiere of Survivor. Outwit. Outlast. Outplay. The adventure intrigued me. By the season finale, when Susan Hawk rips both Richard Hatch and Kelly Wigglesworth new assholes, we were hooked. My parents and I have watched ever since, routing for the more-family-oriented contestants. When I officially moved to Portland three and a half years ago, I started taking notes as I watched each episode to email to my Mom. That way, we can still bond over the show.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Ohhh… Roark is a Social Worker. That's, why, she, talks, like, this, in, some, of, her, interviews, like, we’re, her, clients.</span></div>
<div class="p1">

It was through those computer speakers when I first heard the softly bouncing keystrokes of an electric Kurzweil keyboard. It was a sinister nursery rhyme with a creepy melody and lyrics about an inappropriate, older lover. I could hear a bit of Boston in her voice. I could hear a bit of Berlin. She may not always hit every note but she didn’t have to with her kind of passion. The song was, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Missed Me</i>, the band was the Dresden Dolls, and she is Amanda Palmer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In their band, Amanda plays the electric piano and Brain Viglione plays drums and guitar, and occasionally, both at the same time. The Boston-based duo self-proclaimed their genre as Punk Cabaret – each song as gentle as a spooky lullaby or as pounding as a vibrant burlesque. In a heartbeat, I was a fan. I bought the albums, I attended their epic concerts, and I downloaded the bootlegs. Outside their concerts, hours before show time, the line blurred between fan and volunteer. People in elaborate costumes would congregate outside the venue doors on the sidewalk. Chalk artists, hula-hoopers, human statues, accordion players, stilt-masters, magicians, and fire-breathers. Okay, I may have made that last one up, but I wouldn’t be surprised.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>One time, at Newbury Comics on National Record Store Day in 2008-ish, my friends and I joined a packed store to celebrate music and support record stores with other fans. The Dresden Dolls were there for an all-day appearance. They didn’t play music, instead, hung out for hours with us, made art and we all painted each other's faces in a circle. Caught up in the moment, I had twirled Amanda out of our hug and kissed her on her naked shoulder before leaving the store. She didn’t mind. She thrives on connecting with others and I’m so grateful I’ve been able to participate in these magical Bostonian moments.</span></div>

Them, she became the Eight Foot Bride. Adorn in lace gloves, a black wig and a long vintage wedding gown. It touched the ground, covering the milk crate that she’d stand on for hours, frozen in time. Her face was painted white; her eyebrows were shaved and drawn back on in crazy designs. She stating the painted eyebrows was a way of inviting people to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">look</i> at her face. To actual <i>see</i> her.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In 2013, Amanda wrote a book called, <i>The Art Of Asking: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help.</i> She recalls her TedTalk experience and elaborates on her ideas of asking and giving. Asking can be hard, though, through reading the book, I realized how easy giving can be. The Eight Foot Bride was a symbol of giving. So was the flower. So is any dollar any patron has ever placed in any hat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>For me, <i>The Art of Asking</i> not only reinforced the importance of communication and of asking, but also excited the art of giving. As a long-term volunteer, I understand that non-profit organizations rely on community member’s donated efforts in order to survive. Likewise, financially supporting the independent artists we love is vital to the livelihood of their creations. I always put a dollar in a street performer’s hat, and more often than not, I don’t just <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">visit</i> the merch table at a concert.

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">“ We ask each other, daily, for little things: A quarter, an empty chair, a lighter… but I’ve learned that <i>everybody</i> struggles with asking… It isn’t so much the act of asking that paralyzes us - it’s what lies beneath: the fear of being vulnerable, rejected, or looking needy or weak… American culture has instilled a bizarre notion that to ask for help amounts to an admission of failure. But some of the most powerful, successful, admired people in the world ask constantly, creatively, compassionately and gracefully… There is always a possibility of a <i>no</i>, but if we don’t allow for that <i>no,</i> then we’re not actually asking… We often resist asking not only because we’re afraid of rejection, but also because we don’t think we <i>deserve</i> what we’re asking for. We have to truly believe in the validity of what we’re asking for, which can be hard work… Even after finding balance though, <i>how</i> we ask and how we receive the answer (allowing for the <i>no</i>) is just as important as finding the feeling of validness… We may love the modern myth of Steve Jobs slaving away in his parents’ garage to create the first Apple computer, but the biopic doesn’t tackle the potentially awkward scene in which Steve had to <i>ask his parents for the garage</i>. All we know is that they said yes. And now we have iPhones.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> Before <i>The Art Of Asking,</i> af</span>ter the Dresden Dolls took hiatus, Amanda captured the mainstream media’s eye when she began crowdsourcing on Kickstarter dot com to fund the creation of her second solo project, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Theatre Is Evil</i>. Not only did she surpass her financial goal, she broke the record by fundraising the largest amount of money in the shortest amount of time, at the time in Kickstarter’s history. However, she received much negative feedback.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Some said that her act of asking was distasteful, but the truth was that in the spirit of community, Amanda’s backers were happy to support a fellow artist that they cared about, and who cared about them. Amanda redefined the music industry and started a revolution for independent artists. She still crowdsources for her projects now, on Patreon dot com, a pay-per-thing service. And I am a proud supporter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Throughout my life, I have always been encouraged to ask questions. Asking questions encourages vulnerability with each other. Asking with gratitude says we have the power to help each other. It’s super important, and as silent as the Eight-Foot Bride was, she always made it possible for strangers to engage. To ask. To give.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Mountains of Christmas"; font-size: 22px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> On May 31, 2000, I stood at the stove in my parent's house cooking stir fry with one eye on the television, peaking at vibrant blue Malaysian waters off the coast of Borneo Island. It was the season premiere of Survivor. Outwit. Outlast. Outplay. The adventure intrigued me. By the season finale, when Susan Hawk rips both Richard Hatch and Kelly Wigglesworth new assholes, we were hooked. My parents and I have watched ever since, routing for the more-family-oriented contestants. When I officially moved to Portland three and a half years ago, I started taking notes as I watched each episode to email to my Mom. That way, we can still bond over the show. This season, Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, I will be sharing my thoughts.</span></i></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Oh yeah, this Jessica chick is totes falling in love with Cole.</span></div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Blue team looks solid.</span></div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ I kinda love the New Red Team.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Haha. Cole just pulled that whole pallet on his own with not much help from Roark or Bellhop.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ LoL Dr. Mike keeps getting yelled at.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ WIN! I guess it’s worth getting your fingers smashed by Dr Mike.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Curly Hair is correct - the game has totally just stepped it up a notch.</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Greasy Advantage! Haha Note to self. “You’re staring at your chips too long.”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ I love that they just hand the advantages out this season. So many have probably been overlooked.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Why the hell did Jessica tell Cole she had it?! So much for “SECRET” Advantage!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Haha! The music behind the Bellhop and Chrissy scene cracks me up. Friends at first sight.</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Joe is such a snake. #villain. I hate it but I love it. He’s messy though.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Are there 2 Jessicas? I think I keep getting her and Ashley confused.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Cole should’ve kept his mouth shut. Now he has a reputation of loose lips.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ That table of puzzle pieces looks like a pain in the ass.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Nothing more unattractive than saggy, week-old undies. Someone order a laundry service!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ OH NO! He totally just got nailed in the nuts with the handle! Ouch.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Oh god, the table is on Ashley’s hand!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ I know I can carry weight but I don’t know if I could handle a lock and key under pressure… with a smashed hand.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Nothing more distracting when the first team wins Immunity and you’re still competing for your life while they are screaming and celebrating.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ New Blue goes to Tribal. Not as strong as I thought.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ This is gonna be good. We got some hotheads on Blue.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ OMG! Saggy Bottom Butt just said, “Joe’s a snake!” Took the words outta my mouth!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ About time Alan had some crazy eye competition.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ YAS! It’s happening. Joe is stirring the pot. Lies, cries and denies! Let the games begin!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Oh snap! Everyone’s poppin’ off!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Alan: “I’m not voting for Ashley, I’m not voting for Devon… let yo man do the math!”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Nothing that comes out of Joe’s mouth even makes any sense. I can’t even quote him.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Wait, where the fuck did Devon’s shitty “advantage” come from?! The girl on the other team? Did I miss something?! Damn. Sneaky, sneaky.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space">+ I feel bad for Dezzy. Right under the bus.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space">+ 4 episodes in and we're starting to get tears from people. I say someone will have a full-on breakdown within the next 2 episodes.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space">+ Haha! Alan's face at Tribal. "We got back to camp and people were anxious to get Tribal started."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space">+ Ashley: "Jeff, I've never been referred or have been the weakest link in anything I have ever done in my entire life..."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space">+ Jeff: "This is like a movie." Joe: "Oh, it's better than a movie."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space">+ Wait. Joe's argument is that his chaos unveiled which side of the divide Alan was on? Of course Alan was gonna vote with Ashley. Even if they can't stand each other, they're all they have!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space">+ "I'm not a hero... Long-term, eh yea, ya need to get rid of 'em."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space">+ Alan: "The heroes were undefeated! And there's 6 of them out there!"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space">+ Alan is earning points! “Joe is hanging off a cliff with each finger pealing off. Scratching and clawing at whatever he can.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space">+ Devon: "It's out in the open that I'm the swing vote."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space">+ Next scene, Devons finds out his vote doesn't count. HAHA!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space">+ Oh, this poor boy. That twinkle in his eye just faded REAL fast. Just deflated EVERYONE's game.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Okay. Joe’s Idol is getting used up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Using it on……..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Himself. Not surprised at all.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Ugh. His air fist pumps. Hate it.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ And Alan’s blindsided by an idol?! Wow!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Should have known. We’ve seen a lot of him this first month.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Hm. Kinda sad to see him go.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ I can’t believe Joe masterminded that vote! Take about distracting people with chaos.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ That Idol really saved Joe’s ass.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Ashley was 100% blindsided too! Close ya mouth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Well played.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ I’m so glad Dezzy wasn’t affected. I bet she shit herself.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ I bet Devon shit himself that night too. Rough episode for him. Bruised balls and a blocked vote. He left with pie in his face, for sure.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: large;">(or: 26 notes on service, belonging, desert life, and how two East coasters met in California)</span></span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 15.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpFirst">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpFirst">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">1. Annoyed</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">: She was probably annoyed with me when I interrupted her the first time we met. But I’m also certain that Lindsey admired my confidence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">2. Base</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">: Our relationship started over a scavenger hunt around McClellan Air Force Base in October of 2011. The retired United States Air Force base, located in the North Highlands neighborhood of Sacramento, California, is the regional campus for AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC): Pacific Region. This former military depot was the landing pad for my own California dream.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">3. California</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">: High school was never enjoyable for me. As I half-heartedly researched colleges, I also learned about long-term service programs since I already belonged to the high school’s own non-profit volunteer program, GIVE. The founder of GIVE, my Sociology teacher, introduced me to the wonderful world of AmeriCorps. How had I never heard of this? I learned that with NCCC, I could serve and travel with like-minded individuals with the potential of being assigned to camp out in California and build trails. The opportunity was a life changer. A young East Coaster’s Californian vision is usually movie-picturesque. My peers were attracted to luxurious Los Angeles and the glitz of Hollywood. I wasn’t distracted by California’s charm as much as I was attracted to the program’s encouragement of belonging to a community and getting dirty in the process.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">4. Diversity</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">: The mission of the AmeriCorps NCCC program is “To strengthen communities and develop leaders through team-based national and community service.” Diverse corps members of different backgrounds are selected to serve and are assigned to a campus. Corps members are split into teams of 11 including a Team Leader, and complete up to six projects.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">I had once applied before graduating high school and was passed over. The desire to reapply stalked me for years. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">5. End</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">: During those years, I worked fulltime, went to college, and started and ended a solid long-term relationship. Then, I reapplied to AmeriCorps NCCC and moved to Austin, Texas to escape the looming winter months.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">6. Fall</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">: Late one night at the bar, shortly after SXSW wrapped up another dangerous and successful music & film festival, my Blackberry lit up. (Yes, I said Blackberry.) The email was from AmeriCorps NCCC and it read: “Congratulations, you’ve been selected to serve the Fall semester in the Pacific Region!” Celebratory shots were poured as the karaoke singers rejoiced around us. I told everyone that I was going to change the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">7. Grandmother</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">: As much fun (maybe too much) as Austin was that winter, my intuition urged me home for one last summer since everyone was saying once I hit the West Coast, I probably wouldn’t come back. The heat came and passed and three weeks before the program started, my Grandmother unexpectedly passed away, leaving my family devastated but for a moment, closer than even before. Meme was very proud of me and I knew she’d be thrilled to ride shotgun on my pending road trip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">8. Haight</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">: At the funeral, my ex told me that I was going to change. For the better, I told him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">I drove south, stopping at my Aunt’s in New Jersey, an old neighbor’s, who had moved to Asheville, NC, and a fellow music-lover’s apartment in Hilton Head, SC. She wasn’t home that weekend so I had to be the one to administer eye drops to her bunny, Greta.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">I drove West stopping for a long weekend in Austin, where I had time to process the past year while on an old roommate’s couch. Grief finally caught up with me there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Onward to enjoy 12 hours in a Tucson hotel, and then finally two rainy San Francisco nights where I prepared for the upcoming year, on a mentor’s couch, in the Lower Haight district. My nerves reseeded but my allergies raged.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">9. I: </span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">I was excited. I wanted to help people. I wanted to travel the West Coast. I thought I knew what to expect. Then I arrived at McClellan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">10. Jitters:</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> The program started with a week of orientation before teams were assigned, followed by three weeks of training and orientation before deploying to our first adventure. Team assignments were immediately followed by the scavenger hunt around the Air Force Base, which the newly formed team completed with minimal outbursts. Still, I was jittery and on edge, suddenly blanketed by the permanence of the year. I would feel every single emotion except for sad throughout my service year. I would learn to leave the room when I felt anxious. I’d leave my hands under the warm, running water for a while. Anxiety reigned over the first six weeks but washing my hands help calm me down. Lindsey, a piece of home, was a grounding source.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">11. Kind: </span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">It wasn’t until we were all sitting together that I noticed her, though. We had each chosen opposite heads of the table with our team around us. We faced each other. She was blonde and seemed to be the most reserved and kindhearted on the team, but had been overshadowed by the other developing personalities. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">12. Lindsey:</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> The team could have been cast for a reality show. All strangers, picked not only to live and serve together but to cook, eat, sleep, meet, greet, travel, workout, play and profess together. We were strangers when we met; A diverse bunch with a bit of baggage. Despite our differences, we were all together for a common reason: to change the world. We introduced ourselves clockwise around a pizza. Lindsey went second and her tone was matter-of-fact.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">13. Marblehead: </span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">“Hi, I’m Lindsey. I went to college at Fitchburg State, in Massachusetts, but I’m from…“ “Oh my god,” I said, “That’s where I’m from! Leominster, Massachusetts! <i>Right next</i> to Fitchburg!” Since I don’t believe in coincidences, it was the very first example of We Are All Right Where We Belong, a team motivator I later adopted in the desert and preached all year. Excited, yet slightly annoyed, Lindsey laughed and stated she was actually from Marblehead, Massachusetts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">14. North Shore: </span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Marblehead is a coastal town on the North Shore. East of the Salem witches, and known for fishing, whaling, and yachting; The number of boats in the harbor is a constant reminder of the season. In a small, sheltered community full of traditions and celebrations, Lindsey knew all her neighbors and felt comfort from the salty air. For me, the coast was a vacation spot where I could visit the magic of the weathered islands, cranberry bogs, and sassy seagulls. Though seagulls also commonly congregated in the Taco Bell parking lot in my own landlocked hometown, they were never quite the same without the crashing waves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">15. Owl:</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> The team that Lindsey and I were on was the seventh team under the Green Unit, thus making us, Green 7. During one of our first Unit-building exercises, we were instructed to choose our spirit animals. Upon gathering with the socialite dolphins, I quickly realized I was to be with the observing owls. Lindsey was one of only three loyal lambs that day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">16. Project:</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> Our second campus scavenger hunt determined the location of our first six-week project: Agua Caliente, a county park in California’s Anza Borrego Desert, containing three geothermal hot spring fed pools - two outdoor and an indoor heated spa. We were assigned to prevent erosion in preparation of flash floods. We dug out over a ton of dirt from around the water tanks and used it to build trails. We also planted cactus plants and palm trees, removed invasive species, painted, sorted lumber, shoveled rocks and built horse corrals. We also adopted our team tribal call, much similar to the Warrior Princess Xena’s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">17. Quail:</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> Hot days and cold nights, the dramatic Anza Borrego is surrounded by the Vallecito Mountains to the South and the Santa Rosa Mountains to the North. We were among desert bighorn sheep, mountain lions, roadrunners, and my morning alarm clock: the quail.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">18. Rain:</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> Arriving during a rare desert rain shower, we set up camp under a vibrant rainbow. Our living arrangement was a cluster of six tents. I had never camped. Now I was in the desert for forty-two days. And it was raining.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">19. Sandwich:</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> Agua Caliente became a place of introspection for both Lindsey and I to figure out our purpose on the team and our goals in the program. It wasn’t until we snuck away during work hours, that we first bonded over our neverending appetites. Our plan was to make 11 surprise PB&J’s for the team. We each ate one in the clubhouse and brought seconds for the walk back, brainstorming our assets and team contributions. I was learning how to actively listen and constructively share. Lindsey was finding her strength.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">20. Turn:</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> Nearby Camp Vallecito was said to be haunted. They also, however, had cell service, which was nearly nonexistent at Agua Caliente. Weeks into the project, the team planned an overnight with just our sleeping bags and cell phones in the sand. Around the fire, we all shared songs from iPods with personal meaning. Lindsey shared an Edward Sharpe song and I shared the Byrds, “Turn, Turn, Turn.” For everything there is a season. A time. A purpose.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">21. eUlogy:</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> The lyrics are from Ecclesiastes 3, which the first 16 lines of were read by my cousin at my grandmother’s funeral just months before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">22. Van:</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> Our 15-passenger van was named Pigeon because of the cooing the sliding door made. Julian, California, known for their pies, was only 33 miles away from Agua Caliente, but was an hour long haul for Pigeon. Still, we packed her with pies on Thanksgiving after serving food at the community dinner. I was partial to the Mountain Berry Crumble… for breakfast. Thanksgiving night, around another rectangular folding table, I read aloud the eulogy that I wrote and spoke at my grandmother’s funeral. Since she was a part of every day conversations, the team would dedicate our first service project portfolio to her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">23. Whirl:</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> Julian was once a week for laundry and groceries. Lindsey and I took on laundry duty. The laundromat was a reprieve from the team’s tornado of energy. The whirling spin cycle was more appealing than foraging at Safeway to feed a Pigeon full of 20 year olds for the next seven strenuous desert days. Lindsey and I got to know each other over the team’s dirty uniforms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">24. Xtina:</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> During the wash, we’d spend some time making personal calls then shared stories during the day. We once enjoyed a secret Margarita happy hour then DJ’d and sang the whole car ride home: Whitney, Christina, Gotye, the last two tracks on the self titled Third Eye Blind album. Lindsey was finding her voice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">25 Yawn:</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> I knew I was finally getting comfortable with my surroundings when I started sleeping barefoot. However, dreams of vacuuming the inside my tent lasted my entire desert tenure. I’d wake to magenta sunrises and howling coyotes yipping across the nearby sands. They sounded smaller than our East Coast packs, but they sounded close.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">The entrances to my tent and Lindsey’s tent faced each other, with the other team-tents to the sides, similar to how we sat across the table from each other the day we met. Each morning, emerged from our tents yawning but somehow managing to giggle at 5am.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpLast">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">26 Zaster:</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> Lindsey ended up earning the nickname of “Lindzaster” after weeks of early mornings and tense evenings, mountain hikes, dehydration and building an irrigation system. “Disaster” seemed so inappropriate, thus humorous, for the quiet girl I had interrupted across the table half-way across the state. But this was a changed Lindsey. A Lindsey of a different color. One who could now command your attention in a team meeting, plan service projects and contribute the level-headed ideas. Zaster was learning to lead. We had signed up to help others, but we soon realized the personal benefits were even greater. We were changing the world and our little lamb was now a lioness.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";">If you know me, you know my Holy Trinity: Indigo Girls, Madonna, and Tori Amos. These women move me and inspired me and I'm certain that my life would not be as rich without their presence. For me, Tori Amos' music, her melodies, lyrics, ethereal sonicscapes and themes on relationships (with all, not just lovers) brings me the closest to spirituality than most things.</span><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";">For me, not one religion, or God, or idea has ever fit me comfortably. However, I've always been willing to learn and experience first hand many different services.

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";">But I also burn sage to smudge my apartment, I wear crystals on my power days and have practiced Tarot for over ten years. So you can say that I have enjoyed the best of both worlds without overindulging. I continue to live by my morals/values and play by my own fucking rules. If I believe in something wholeheartedly, I will stand behind it. If I don't agree 100%, I will not support it.</span><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";">My point is.... MUSIC. Nothing has ever made more sense to me than music. Nothing has ever felt so sacred and ancient to me than music. I'm honestly open to all genres, but I know what I like and what warms me from the inside out. Tori Amos warms me like a freshly baked pie. Any flavor. You pick.</span><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";">I love listening to Tori speak of spending time with different pianos – how she doesn’t play the pianos, but how they play her. I love listening to her refer to her songs as muses, or cosmic forces that evolve over the years as they begin to reveal more and more in their own time, even to her.</span><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";">I describe Tori (the being and the songs) like walking into another world: A World of Wonder. The more you listen, the more constellations will start to appear.</span><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";">Of course, growing up, I always knew Tori, but only from a distance. Like, she was a guardian angel watching over me through my youth. Cornflake Girl on the radio. Strange Little Girls and Tales of a Librarian CDs on the checkout counter at Barns and Nobel. My friend Pope's favorite music video: A Sorta Fairytale. Tori's Walk Through The Gardens interview that I swear I caught on PBS one afternoon. Then finally... Big Wheel, from ADP hit Boston's River station The River in 2007. I was driving down Hamilton Street in my hometown and Matt Chamberlain's drum loop hit me full force. Then, once we got to the bridge where Tori spells out, "I am a M.I.L.F. don't you forget," I laughed and I was fucking sold. Sign me up. Tori had just become the Holy Spirit to my Holy Trinity.</span><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";">At that time, I was only familiar with Little Earthquakes as an album in its entirety. Two years prior to Big Wheel's release, my friend Jonath had visited from New Mexico and we burned CDs for each other. Along with what felt like every single Cranberries' album, he also gifted me with a burned copy of Tori's Little Earthquakes.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";"><br /></span> <span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";">Little Earthquakes is Tori's first solo album, but technically, her second effort. The first: Y Kant Tori Read. A band she formed in the late 80's that didn't gain much success, only bad reviews at the time. It was actually just re-released as a surprise on Spotify last month.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";"><br /></span> <span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";">Since my first listen of Little Earthquakes in 2005, Jonath and I are still friends, we still love music, I've overindulged in Tori's music, though Jonath has not. Next month, I will be attending my 6th Tori Amos concert and he is coming with me to the Seattle show! As Tori's setlists are unpredictable, and since Jonath was afraid of being unprepared, I handcrafted two playlists, burned them to CDs, included the following notes and dropped 30-years of Tori knowledge off in the mail to him.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;">With what started as a journey to her family’s North Carolinian roots, turned into an album of division, nature, and health after the election of 2016 and then her mother, Mary’s stroke shortly thereafter. I've been listening to this album almost every day (and sometimes on repeat) since it dropped last month on September 8. She just toured Europe with about 22 stops and I've followed the setlists through the entire trip on <a href="http://www.undented.com/">www.undented.com</a>. This collection of songs in my favorite of hers in some time. The lyrics are more like otherworldly descriptions, somewhat scientific, to get lost in. And even though Tori is singing about this Earth and our own lifelines, it still feels like a parallel universe. Like my heart skipped a beat and I'm somewhere between two realms. Tori has always kept me solid in these clouds. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I have no excuse for being silent for over 3 years, other than the fact I’ve been listening instead of sharing. Experiencing instead of writing. I even let this website go defunct, hidden from the world and locked into a cyber vault, Hundreds of days went by without very many freshly documented words on my behalf. It wasn’t a conscious effort – it just happened. And whatever words were written in the last three and a half years have yet to be shared.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Last winter, I started working on a song and I finished it this past Spring. Finishing a song is quite an accomplishment for me. I usually just end up with non-Grammy-nomination-worthy snippets of verses and choruses scribbled in my journals and saved as voice memos with basic guitar chords strumming up the melody.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Survivor time!</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Lets see what these fools are up to this week. Let’s start weedin’ ‘em out!</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ HAHAHA! The guys trying on Simone’s pink clothes cracks me up!</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Bellhop: “Finally, Simone is showing her worth in some capacity.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Nothing like washing your pits out with sand.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Why is it such a big deal that Patrick only trusts “most” of these people. You SHOULDN’T trust all of them at this point. His phrase is a non-issue.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Patrick makes me laugh. He’s just an idiot.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Not surprised Alan can’t crack the coconuts. He’s like a fish outta water on this island. Can’t wait til he goes off the deep end again.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ At least he brought sweat pants. The only sensible clothing I’ve seen on this season so far.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Cowboy: “JP walks around here like he doesn’t know what going on.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Cut to JP walking around camp site.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Cut to JP bringing fish home. Now who doesn’t know what’s going on?</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Sherry must be hungry, she busting out from behind that tree the minute someone said fish.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ That little thing isn’t enough to feed them all though.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Uh oh, I see Alan’s crazy eyes again. He knows Blondie has been talking about JP in her interviews.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ All these girls are getting boy crazy. I smell power couples. Or lover’s quarrels.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ So much drama in this episode I love it.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ I also don’t think its a big deal for Patrick to go off and look for the idol. Why isn’t everyone else getting up off their ass to look for it!?</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Joe’s idol has to get flushed! Throwing food away. Fuck this guy.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Cole spanned the beans about Joe’s Idol. I hope he can trust whoever this “Roark” girl is.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Wow! Those Heroes FLEW over that net wall! Alan’s jump was awesome!</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Oh Jesus Patrick, just switch out already!</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Fisherwoman: “Pat, you ready to switch….. You wanna switch….. Can I take a turn…. Patrick, can we swap?”</span></span><br />
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Patty just sealed his deal.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Damn those stacks are tall! Cheerleaders on top.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Blondie: “HOLD MY LEGS!” haha! She must have been a cheerleader in a past life to be able to climb up on her team.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ They won eggs! Don’t drop em!</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Good Tribal. Great ideas about teamwork thrown around. + It's a TEAM game right now and Patrick really fucked up. Bring him back next year, he’s cute. Hopefully he’ll grow up a bit in the meantime.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ I’m glad Lauren stays.</span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">+ Bye Patrick! What a big baby. Calling them “awful” and “liars” on the way out?! It's a GAME!</span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ Survivor!</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ Oh, it’s Chrissy, not Sherri. lol. She’s sneaky! Kinda like her.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ Still don’t like Alan. Tell us you “don’t wanna go back to Tribal” one more time. I heard you the first 3. No one wants to go to Tribal, moron.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ Ben “This crew is like old paint. Cracked everywhere.” The Core 4 is no More! I’m so glad they see-through Alan’s BS.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ I love these Fijian beaches! Love the word “Fijian” too!</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ This Simone girl is interesting, to say the least. From being afraid of a bug, to gutting a fish all in one scene!</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ I was gonna call her “weird” then that guy beat me to it! haha</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ This Joe guy is Idol obsessed! Finding it is one thing. Using it correctly is another story. I don’t trust him with it. Seems like Cole does though.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ Ahaha! The dykey woman chasing the red head with the crab is hilarious! He screams like a girl. As she wipes his spit off her face! Haha!</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ I love that the puzzle is made up of all the places Survivor has filmed! (note: I said this before Jeff pointed it out)</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ Too many sakes!</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ I can’t put my finger on Simone. On the beach, she’s an idiot. In her interviews, she seems pretty smart.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ Why has there never been a British person on the show?</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ I hope Patrick (red head) stays and Simone goes. It would be stupid to get rid of Patrick.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ Wow. Skinny guy just said it best before the walk to Tribal. Gotta give him more credit.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ Oh Jesus. He just lost me with the “birthday party” metaphor bullshit.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ I’m on Lauren’s (Fisherman) side. “More like a funeral.”</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ Patrick: “Sad birthday party.” haha!</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ Simone is way weirder than Patrick.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ Patrick’s teeth are amazing.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ We’re deff gonna see the skinny guy on another challenge.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ If Simone says “like” one more time… she’s out. And she talks so much nonsense you can hear the choppy editing in between her sentences.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ Oh THANK GAGA!!! Bye Simone! She was fucking obnoxious.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">+ Simone: “I’m sad but I’m living with it.” haha! They edited her to be a weirdo!</span></div>

<i style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Mountains of Christmas"; font-size: 22px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> On May 31, 2000, I stood at the stove in my parent's house cooking stir fry with one eye on the television, peaking at vibrant blue Malaysian waters off the coast of Borneo Island. It was the season premiere of Survivor. Outwit. Outlast. Outplay. The adventure intrigued me. By the season finale, when Susan Hawk rips both Richard Hatch and Kelly Wigglesworth new assholes, we were hooked. My parents and I have watched ever since, routing for the more-family-oriented contestants. When I officially moved to Portland three and a half years ago, I started taking notes as I watched each episode to email to my Mom. That way, we can still bond over the show. This season, Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, I will be sharing my thoughts.</span></i></div>

Thank you for your service.<br />+ The girl with the curly hair seems feisty. She must need patience to be somebody's personal assistant, but patience goes out the door on this island! <br />+ Oh gosh, this nerdy guy is gonna glide right to the top 5, isn’t he?<br />+ Game on! Now grab those melons, that flint, and get your asses to shore!<br />+ The water is so blue!<br />+ No plans. All pandemonium.<br />+ Jeff: “He’s launching fruit like a quarterback… with no receiver.” lol<br />+ Told ya. Nerdy guy found his first advantage. I bet you’ll he’ll find more. Though I really hope they get spread out this season. The last TWO seasons, all the same people got the advantages. The best one in the last 2: Officer Sarah, when she found the one Michaela missed.<br />+ There is so much fucking fruit floating in the water! What a waste.</span></span></div>

Have to use it at the first Tribal?! Talk about a major target on your back.<br />+ Who is this Joe guy? Fuck you. Pull your pants up. Who are you to call someone out so early for having an advantage they don’t have. Talk about paranoia.<br />+ EW RATS!<br />+ This NFL player is also paranoid. He a fool. I don’t think he’s crafty as he thinks.<br />+ OMG! He just made this guy take his pants down?!?!? PSYCHO!!!! Get this guy OUT OF HERE! That was so weird and uncomfortable.

<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large; text-decoration: none;"> Spring
is finally here in North Central Massachusetts! The last of the snow
has melted and the days are slowly (very slowly) getting warmer when
the sun is present. My cat Olive, who turns a year old next month,
shakes her butt and stomps her little hind feet when she watches the
Robins through the blinds from the desk top. This makes me happy.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large; text-decoration: none;"> I
don't think I even adjusted to being back in my hometown for the past
6 months. For the 3 years prior, I yo-yoed my way around and didn't
even spend 6 months in total at home! I finally chose last Fall, to
return home for winter because that's what my gut told me to do.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large; text-decoration: none;"> I
spent time with friends and family. I continued to work for Habitat
for Humanity. I applied for lots of jobs, listened to lots of music
and watched too much television. I ate and hibernated like a bear. I
remembered to reflect and waited for a new perspective.</span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"> Reflection
is especially necessary in our busy lives as to not forget where we
are from, what we stand for and how we have got ourselves to where we
are. </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">Remember,

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"> I
was on a service trip to Mexico in 2010 when I discovered my wings. I
realized I was part of something much bigger than I had ever imagined
and I finally felt it in me and around me. I couldn't describe it and
of course, I didn't know what to do with it. I certainly dropped the
ball several times before I was able to direct my energy and
efficiently move forward towards a goal. I had always been afraid to
make a wrong choice but I soon found out, it was never about the
</span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">right
or wrong</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
choices, it was simply about making </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">any
</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">choice.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large; text-decoration: none;"> You
would think I'd clearly remember the moment I drove away from my
parents house in September 2011, en route to the West Coast, to start
what would be 2 years of serving in <a href="http://www.nationalservice.gov/programs/americorps" target="_blank">AmeriCorps</a>, however I only see
that month as a choppy slideshow. After my Meme past away, the
weddings I attended, the suitcases I packed, the loose ends I tied,
the 12+ hour days of driving, the grief I finally was able to shed
passing through Texas, they are all just snapshots now, already aged
but forever permanent.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large; text-decoration: none;"> I
had finally made choices. <a href="http://www.nationalservice.gov/serve-your-community/how-get-involved" target="_blank">I had applied for AmeriCorps.</a> I worked the
extra hours. I traveled. I worked more extra hours. I made the goal
to better myself, those I encountered and the communities I entered.
I had known what it was like to receive and give back on a personal
level, but never on the worldly level. That was tremendously
rewarding and I realized how much we personally benefit from allowing
ourselves to be of complete service to others. Not feeling the need
of the crutch anymore, I even chose to quit smoking cigarettes! It's
been over a year!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large; text-decoration: none;"> In
the recent past years, I have served long and short terms with
roughly 20 non-profits, I have made personal connections with
hundreds of people of all ages, cultures and histories; I've traveled
through 70% of the US, started to venture internationally and learned
what the terms “goals and values,” “communication,”
“hands-on,” “team based,” “community” and “work ethic”
in all essence, truly mean.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large; text-decoration: none;"> As
the support of <a href="http://www.nationalservice.gov/programs/americorps" target="_blank">AmeriCorps</a> came to a close, my contract with <a href="http://habitatportlandmetro.org/" target="_blank">Habitat for Humanity Portland / Metro East</a> was extended and then also came to
an end. So, I packed up my year-in-the-making in Oregon and retracted
back to Massachusetts for one last time. I still can't answer, “why?”
but eventually, I'll be able to piece together my recent perceptions,
emotions and new connections from a different perspective. Again. I
swear, it's not what I'm running from, it's what I'm chasing.</span></span></span></div>

back into Massachusetts, I couldn't even get in up to my hips let

trying. Massachusetts isn't mine anymore, was it ever? I want to feel
pride in where I live <a href="https://medium.com/p/db9746750a3a?af=1977852&c=121475" target="_blank">and I want to share my neighborhood.</a> Coming
back to momentarily settle, opened to options (maybe too many), I was
listening to the universe.</span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"> I
went to Argentina on a <a href="http://www.habitat.org/gv" target="_blank">Habitat for Humanity Global Village Trip</a> (which still deserves a blog of it's own) to
deal with the dreaded “Life After AmeriCorps” that was rapidly
setting in. They don't tell you “LAA” is actually an </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">emotion</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
and NOT the actual events that follow your service year. Remember
that. You heard it first, here. Buckle those belts... it may be a
bumpy ride.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"> In
my #JobHunters2014 adventure, I applied to many positions at
non-profits, for-profits, colleges, cruise ships and hotels galore.
After 3 steady months of resumes, cover letters, references and
applications, the rejections started to roll in. Ideally, I was
thinking “volunteer coordination,” but all my skills/experience
are </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">in-field</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">.
As many options where </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">in-office</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">,
I was not most qualified. I did participate in phone interviews and
receive offers for positions in different locations that financially
could have worked but above all else, I was focused on </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">listening</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
to my gut. And my gut was always asking me “can you see this as a
long-term opportunity?”</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"> I
have been grateful for the luxury of time. After learning how to
effectively </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">speak</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
in all the noise of the previous years, I've finally learned how to
actively </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">listen</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
in all my recent silence.</span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large; text-decoration: none;"> After
being encouraged by a friend who works for the website, <a href="http://Airbnb.com/">Airbnb.com</a>, I
applied for a Customer Experience Specialist position with them.
<a href="http://Airbnb.com/">Airbnb.com</a> is an online marketplace where folks can rent or host
rooms, apartments, houses, tree houses, yurts, igloos and other
unique spaces as alternatives to hotels. Thus, producing a reality
out of an on-line social network, providing the guest with a personal
connection and insight to the community they are visiting.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large; text-decoration: none;"> The
application process was lengthy, yet thrilling (kinda like my blogs).
After filling out a simple application and submitting my portfolio of
paperwork, I was instructed to complete videos and creative written
responses. Then, I was invited to a “hiring group meet-up” in
Portland. I flew across country and participated in the role playing
scenarios, team builders, more written responses and a brief
one-on-one interview. The next day, flying East with a new friend, we
received email invitations to complete Skype interviews.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large; text-decoration: none;"> I
can now say, that after an itchy 2 month process, I am a proud
soon-to-be employee of the AirFamily that is <a href="http://Airbnb.com/">Airbnb.com</a>. As a
Customer Experience Specialist, I'll answer
questions/concerns/emergencies out of <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/" target="_blank">Airbnb's</a> brand new North
American hub offices and facilitate experiences where “travel”
meets “making the world a better place.”</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large; text-decoration: none;"> In
total excitement, I posted a quick Facebook status last night, that
was a bit out of style for me. I blurted out the fact that I “GOT
IT,” never really elaborating on what “it” was; I made effort
to mention I'd be in San Francisco for my birthday, failing to
mention it was during a week of training. And I clearly typed
something along the lines of “the start of a wonderful life.” I
definitely acknowledge I already have a wonderful life. 24 hours
after posting the status, the post-er's remorse settled in but much
to my surprised, my little update clocked in 127 “likes” and
almost 50 comments. Holy fuck, right?! The people I've surrounded
myself with most certainly have had a huge affect on my life. It
shows and I love you for it.</span></span></span></div>

took equal parts time, support and courage to finally make some damn
choices for myself, to start climbing and in retrospect, I don't
regret anything. Now that I've made a few, I can reflect on my
choices and map the experiences and connections they have provided.
My choices have shaped who I am. They aren't “right or wrong.”
They weren't “good or bad.” They just are what they are.</span></span></span></div>

February, being the shortest month, I
knew I had to take full advantage of my time. I spent the cold,
snowy, buried days as a hermit, constantly applying for jobs and
looking into studios on the West Coast. I watched the Superbowl from
the White Mountains, the Olympics from my parents couch and also
almost completed the entire Showtime series of Dexter. Needless to
say, I'm ready for fresh air, the color green, a change of pace and a
gym membership!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Fingers crossed, March, I've got goals
to meet!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I also want to continue sharing my
favorite songs and while I'm talking about television, I may as well
confess... I'm also completely obsessed with American Idol again.
I've only seen a handful of seasons and haven't watched since Meme
passed away. The new judges (Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez and Harry
Connick JR) are what drew my attention this go-around. And I love
being a part of such an exiting journey these talented kids are on as
they shine, grow and live in the spotlight for a few months. I wish
them all the best of luck but I've got to give a personal shot-out to
<a href="http://americanidolnet.com/alex-preston-american-idol-2014-season-13-contestant-profile/" target="_blank">New Hampshire native, Alex Preston.</a> I'm thrilled Mount Vernon, New
Hampshire is back in the papers in a positive light. Much love!</div>

These girls know how to kick up the funk and reel in the catchy beats. After supporting big name artists on tour and releasing an EP in 2012, their first full-length album,<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Days-Are-Gone-HAIM/dp/B00ECL7ZJ2" target="_blank"> "Days Are Gone"</a> landed last September.</div>

I first heard about the girls through the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1553474101872043319#editor/target=post;postID=155331445779193310;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=11;src=postname" target="_blank">Shadowboxer's monthly cover series, when they covered Haim's "If I Could Change Your Mind"</a> last November. To me, their music is nostalgic of the 80's yet sounds so current. I dig it… you should grab a shovel too.</div>

Last month, when I was asked what my favorite song of 2013 was, I automatically spit out Imagine Dragons - Top of the World… then I realized it came out the year before. #fail</div>

BUT, it was that question that actually what prompted me share my favorite songs in my blog all 2014 long instead of a "30 Day Challenge," cause I don't have that kind of discipline! </div>
