GO TO THIS.

I'll be in Winnipeg for this. If you are, you should be there too.

Thank you again to everyone for their continued support. Let's do it big for the guy who deserves nothing less.

ALL THE WAY FROM TEXAS.

There aren't many things that have touched me as much as this one. There is something so surreal about having an audience that reads your words and actually feels them. There is something even more surreal about that same audience connecting to you and going out of their way to try and heal you.

Well. Let me tell you how Kim from Texas did that.

This girl wrote me the most touching, heart-warming, thoughtful card I have ever received. Along with that, she included a simply beautiful piece of jewellery. Her words stated that it was a heart so my cousin could be kept close to mine, his birthstone was also on the chain, and that the angel wing reflects him always being my angel in the sky. I cried for days. No one has ever done anything so wonderful for me. No one has ever been so thoughtful, so sweet. This is the absolutely most perfect piece of anything I have ever gotten.

For that, I shall treasure this little piece of silver for the rest of my life.

I can't say thank you enough. I really can't. If I could find some way to thank you every second for the rest of my days, it still wouldn't be enough.

My dearest Kim, thank you for being a reader. Thank you for reading. Thank you for this. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You truly are one of the most treasured people to ever step into my little cyber world, and believe me when I say, you opened the door and made it a whole lot bigger. I can't wait til the day we meet. I owe you a trillion hugs.

Xoxo, all my love, Houston stand up!

NO SLEEP AND A WHOLE LOTTA HYDRO..

and by hydro, I mean coffee and energy shots.. I'm freaking exhausted. I did so much today while living like a zombie.. and I haven't packed yet. I'm not so stoked on packing, ever.. really. BUT! At long last the day has arrived! I am officially off to see some of my top favorite musicians! SBTRKT! Justice! Frank Ocean! The Weeknd! Radiohead! Santigold! Childish Gambino! Noisia! SebastiAn! Azealia Banks! Awolnation! Dj Shadow! A$ap Rocky! Should I keep gong?! Sorry. NOT SORRY! Gotye! M83! St Vincent! Zed's Dead! I .. can't.. even.

I've completely taken my focus off it considering my emotional/damaged state.. but now that the day has finally come, I am excited. I am excited I get to go with music lovers, and excited to be re-united with my love, Perla.

I know I'm still about a month behind in replying to e-mails and what not.. and I promise I will fully step up my game once I get back.. but for now, it's party time. For my cousin in the sky, and for my music loving self.

Lize, Jheff, Randy, Perla, let's go. BEW BEW BOH BEW.

GRIMES.

I swear to you, I've heard this song every day for about a month now. If it isn't randomly linked from my computer, it's playing in a store I'm shopping in. A few days ago, I thought I finally escaped. Til I heard it across the hall. It's haunting me. What's the deal with this song?! For really rill. Yeah, I said "for really rill".

SWAGGIN' GOIN' SWELL.

Life is easier when you're surrounded by good music, good people, and a lot of beer.


























Happy Birthday, bezzie.

LIKE A WILD FIRE.

Diiirrrrtttttyyyy 30. So we're here. You're 30! 30 is the new 20, so I expect nothing less of you..!

You're one of the spunkiest, wildest, biggest firecrackers to ever step into my life. Along with that though, you have a supportive shoulder for me to cry on. Which I never cry on 'cause I'm such a G. In all honesty though, I fully admire the craziness in you. It makes me laugh in pitches only dogs can hear.. and I appreciate that you've been there to tell me that everything I do is okay. I appreciate that you've never judged me, and took what I do in this world and thanked me for it. You're one of few that actually take the time to tell me how good of a job I'm doing, and you always seem to do so at the hardest moments.
So even with our stubborn-ness clashing together sometimes, I am always fully aware of one thing.. If I was stuck in the middle of nowhere, in a snowstorm, and I was drunk out of my mind and had no money.. You'd drop everything (possibly even a date with Diplo?) and come get me.. and for shit like that, I am so lucky.
When we were kids we weren't nearly as close as we are now. I think we spend more time together than we do eating and sleeping combined. Actually, we do a lot of that together too! Fine by me. Your jokes, your huge heart, your dancing, your smile.. 30 years of greatness, my lovely, let that part of you shine always. It's something we all adore and want to see for the rest of our time.

Xoxo, happy birthday.
