como te voy a olvidar

As I dance in our living room to an eclectic mix of music with the people that matter most to me and as the last hour of the decade approaches (tick tock tick tock), my mind takes me on a field trip of some of the most pleasant and also some of the most heart-aching moments over the past ten years. To think only a few decades typically make up a lifetime and I've already experienced two and a half-ish. This is the first one I remember clearly, so it's the first one I'll never forget. We started dancing to the song I'm about to post, and I thought it would be perfect to help articulate how I feel about the past decade. It's called "Como Te Voy A Olvidar" (How Will I Ever Forget You). Sure it may be silly and cheesy and I'm totally using it in the wrong context, but I like it. I'm not sure why, but I like it a lot - the same goes for the past ten years. Happy New Decade!

my moon my man

We (mom and the sibs) made a random trip to San Antonio on Monday to do some shopping. We hit up the Half Price Books first. I don't read much, so mostly I just roamed the aisles looking for something interesting to pick up; I had no such luck, so I just started snapping photos. Considering I came close to changing my major in college to English, it doesn't make much sense why it is that only magazines interest me. I loved my literature courses in college, but even then I wouldn't always read the material. Mostly, I would just look forward to the lectures and discussions. My classmates hated me because I'd skip readings and still ace the exams. I guess as long as you make sense of the message at hand, it doesn't really matter if you read the material in its entirety. Anyhow, I guess I just don't have the attention span required for such an act just yet, maybe when I'm thirty. I'm a much more visual person right now. 

And if you haven't figured it out already, I enjoy pleasing my ears as well. For this post, I decided to go with My Moon My Man by Feist. She's so adorable, and this video is great. The song is also quite fitting since the eclipse was Monday night. The entire sky and the moon were breathtaking, it's a shame it wasn't very photogenic. It seems the most pleasant things are the hardest to capture or explain. Anyway, enjoy the video:
