This is the Best

Music keeps me afloat, just as much as my writing does. The right song can pump me up or mellow me out, and the right band can hold relevance forever. I like a little bit of everything, but especially the home-grown stuff including Billy Talent, LIGHTS, and more. Odds are I will never meet Billy Talent, but I will keep dreaming.

Last night, I saw one of my longtime favourites USS, or Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker. It's hard to put a name to their sound, but I've been to a show every year since 2009, and have never been disappointed.  The best part about them is not only their music, but also the kindness they show towards fans. Every time I go to a show, I've gotten a hug, or a chance to sing along. Nothing beats being remembered an recognized by a band that I love!

Just like a Puzzle

I've mentioned my position with workstory.net, but I haven't really told you why I love it. As you know, or maybe not, I ask  friends and acquaintances to share stories about careers they love. It's really interesting, because in some cases now I understand what it means what my friend says I have to go to work; when previously I would not have known their extent of busyness. I see their passion, their drive, and see that the path is full of roadblocks and detours, just like mine

I've heard about the love of helping others, but also it's ups and downs. I've heard compassionate tales of firefighters in training being pushed to the brink, and hugging someone who has lost everything. Every time I hear these stories, they give me an opportunity to fuel my fire, and perfect my dream. When I work with information, it's like nothing else exists except what's in front of me. I snap every piece into place like a puzzle, and there is nothing more rewarding than seeing the finished picture. If I'm having this much fun with my first opportunity, then I know I'm the right place.
