My Glass is Half Full

So this post is going to be all over the place.
Because I am the girl who has the eyes of a cat
during the dark chaos.

So now that my super power has been exposed, I shall
rant.
The media has spewed a lot of negative realities. I could waste space and dig deep and discuss, but why?? It saddens my heart.  And I've had enough of that shit.
This past Sunday I saw something beautiful. 
After leaving the liquor store, there was a mentally ill(possibly homeless) man sitting on the sidewalk. I gazed at him to see if he was ok because he was trembling a bit. But i was too scared to get close, so I continued on and got into the car. As I was chit chatting with Dre, I noticed a young Hispanic boy, about 10 years old handing the man two individually wrapped sandwiches and a bottled water. My window was down, and they were only a few feet away and I said, "look Dre! How cute, that little boy just gave that man food, a homemade sandwich. He gave him two! What a sweet kid, what a nice young man" The little boy looked up at me and smiled, they both smiled. As the little boy walked away and the man devoured his sandwich, I noticed the stiff demeanor of the little boy's walk.  I had embarrassed him possibly? I didn't mean too. Watching him stiffly walk away to his apartment complex, I just started bawling my eyeballs out.
Perspective.
That moment made me realize, there is still kindness and compassion in this world. 
We are in control of how we perceive life.
Perhaps to someone else, that was just a kid talking to a dirty crazy man.
Not to me.
The media may be poisoning our brains with all this negative energy, and it sucks.  But the world is still beautiful, and everyday we should do something kind for someone.  Because this love will spread. And Love is what the world needs right now.

When I used to sing Karaoke, Tom Petty was my go-to.  Mary Jane's Last Dance and Free Falling.  Those were my SONGS!! 
I had a greyhound at The 500 Club in SF this past Sunday.  I was reminiscing to the days they would do karaoke on Sundays at 5pm. I made my debut with Free Falling. It was rad, I grabbed some random chick to sing with me and everyone else sang along. Good Times.  May you rest in peace Tom Petty!! You're Free!

A couple weeks back

I took a gazillion pictures, but I'm not going to flood this post.
