Nailed It!!!!!!!

I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe that I'm embarking on the path of being a full blown adult with health benefits!
I am beyond ecstatic! I am always weary of the unknown and nervous of changing up my carefree lifestyle, giving up my daily work outs and my free time, but I know that this is a huge step in the right direction for me and I'm excited to see where it takes me.

Tonight I am doing a fashion show for a local artist clothing and art shop in Denver known as Megafauna. I will rocking out some sicky gnar gnar spring fashion gear high lighting the massive cut that I just got on my knee last week after trying to "Carpour" aka Parkour off of a car (not the brightest idea if aren't a trained Russian professional.) Megafauna is similar to RVCA but all local artists from the Front Range area with a vast amount of product ranging from jewelry, vintage attire, t-shirts, sweat shirts, posters, etc. They are also huge supporters of local events such as FeedDenver and other non-profit organizations.

I was also thoroughly touched by this viral video that I watched today. I know that Africa has been a struggling country for centuries and I have seen many documentaries about the various struggles but this is something that really tugged on my heart strings and made me want to get involved in any way, shape,  and form. Please watch and spend a few minutes to send this to as many people as you know as it is pertinent is spreading the message to as many people as humanly possible to put a stop to terrible human being.

Cheers til next time my friends!! xoxox

Keeps getting better

I didn't think that I could get any happier than I have been over the past month. I feel like everything is really falling into place better than I could have expected. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such amazing human beings, I'm so fortunate that I have so much fun every single day, and I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life. I really couldn't ask for more.

When I first moved to Boulder in 2007 I had a difficult time adjusting. I had no friends, no family, no connections for jobs, I had never lived on my own, and I was scared.. to say the least I thought about packing it in and moving back to Connecticut many times. But I didn't, and thank dog I didn't, I stuck it out and I'm so, so glad that I did. 

Things have been moving along well with Verve. I love the flexibility of the job and I love everything about the product and the company as a whole. It's been great to actually use my brain a bit and start using some of my college degree finally!! I've been making some fantastical progress on revamping the website, organizing some photo shoots, and putting on an awesome fashion show for April 5th! 

I also have an interview with a HUUUUUUUGE company known as Crispin Porter + Bugusky that I am so excited about I feel like I could start doing Parkour. If you haven't heard of them than you may have been conked out under a glacier in Antarctica for the past 22 years?

Either way check 'em out and click it: http://www.cpbgroup.com/

Crossing my fingers, toes, and eyes that I can pull this one off and start moving into the direction of becoming a full blown adult.... haha or at least try.

Although I have once AGAIN had to put my travel plans on hold I know everything happens for a reason and I will someday it will happen, someone once told me; "Don't ever expect anything because you'll end up being disappointed." So I'm not :)

Signing off and leaving you with a link to my new fav jam of all times:

Loving this jam from my fav dj Lee Foss and also redirected to the way things are headed for me.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvcb0S6fvWY

I just started as the Marketing Director of Verve Climbing which I am beyond excited about. http://www.verveclimbing.com/

Verve is an amazing LOCAL company that I absolutely love and have huge plans for. Next thing on the platter is Hueco Rock Rodeo!! Woot Woot!

Hoping to make some connections and do a lot of promotions while in the El Paso city limits. Wish me luck my little chickens

Such a goodie

This song has been a favorite of mine for a few months.. Now it's hitting the radio hard which always makes me a little sad. I love having my little underground music gems that no one really knows about that I can jam out to all the time. This song is amazing and the artist is super duper talented!

Peace, Love and Enjoy

Eradicating + Single Life = Fun

e·rad·i·cate

  [ih-rad-i-keyt] 

verb (used with object), -cat·ed, -cat·ing.

1.

to remove or destroy utterly; extirpate: to eradicate smallpoxthroughout the world.

2.

to erase by rubbing or by means of a chemical solvent: to eradicate a spot.

3.

to pull up by the roots: to eradicate weeds.

Over the past few weeks I have made some small steps in eradicating all of the negative objects that have surrounded me for a lengthy period of time. Even if it means dusting off some old crumbs on the table it makes me happy that certain things aren't around me anymore. I have starting removing my unhealthy old habits of smoking cigs, which has now turned into smoking Ecigs which isn't great but definitely an improvement as long as I don't get pneumonia or the black lung from the water vapor. I've cut down on the booze consumption which has been fantastic because my hangovers are so incredibly intense and crippling and straight up miserable. And I'm really hitting it big these days with training super hard and making some serious improvements in the climbing realm of mi vida which also makes me very happy.

I have some set plans to go to Hueco in a few weeks and take care of some unfinished business and hang out with some amazing people and be dirty and free like a kangaroo in the wild and climb, climb, climb like the dickens.

I also made plans to high tail it down to Mexico for a little R&R which I absolutely can't wait for. I've made attempts at getting to a beach over the past few years with no luck.. so FINALLY I'm going!! 

HOLA PUTAS!!

 

 I cannot wait to be tan and swim and drink Mexican beer with salty ocean water lips and eat fresh fish tacos and relax and get massages and be warmmmmmmm!! Woot Woot

Another exciting announcement is that I'm getting a new grill!! Word Betches.. not a new grill for my car but a new grill for my chompers. "I got the whole top diamonds and the bottom row gold."
I had a pretty intense conversation with some gentlemen in the new up coming group known as the Lama Squad. They are a group of pretty awesome guys with a hard gangster look with some serious grills and a back up band, think The Roots but better. Check em: http://www.myspace.com/namm1000
and like 'em on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001515891734
They offered me some serious schooling on how I need to get a "real" grill because if I don't that shit will rot my teeth out. Ill post up some before and after pics after I drop a pretty penny on these suckers.

**P.s. I'm getting veneers :) Don't worry

I've always wanted to get my teeth did.. Have them lookin' all white and flashy and perfect and now I'm actually going to do it. I mean some people want fake boobs, some people want tummy tucks and so why should I suffer with this busted grill for much longer?? Ehn't Happnin' Homies!

And with a closing recap of the past few weeks of my new single dating life: I had no idea how much fun this could be.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone health and happiness. 

This New Year I spent sober as a seal due to a kidney infection. It was probably one of the only New Years that I have spent in a different state of mind other than a drunk skunk which was actually amazing.

After finishing the crazy antibiotics concoction cocktail and canceling my trip to Hueco Tanks I quickly started training.

I have never really trained before so this is something super new and exciting getting tips from trainers at my gym: http://movementboulder.com/home/
I've been climbing a lot and have really become super focused. So I'm excited to get super strong and continue getting better throughout the winter in hopes of having a shot of making it to Hueco healthy.

Being single is something that I have actually found to be super fun. Sure you have your ups and downs at times but that is replaced by meeting fun people and establishing new relationships and being in uncomfortably funny positions at times too. I feel even more independent than before. I unfortunately lost my best friend but I'm so blessed to be around my other great friends and I feel like I'm 15 again, which is essentially the last time I was single.

Cheers to the future and all the fun stuff..

Mewwy Chwistmas Y'all!!

We are now narrowing down to the last 6 days before Christmas.. Christmas is my fav holiday. I love giving people things that I know they'll love and appreciate, I like Santa, I like eating cookies, I like receiving gifts from people.. It's just plain nice and makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I mean that's what Christmas is right??

I unfortunately but fortunately opted not to travel during the holidays this years. One of my fondest memories of traveling during the holidays was in 2008 while I was on the road climbing for a few months and flew out of El Paso, TX. I had a layover in Dallas/Fort Worth and hopped in line to get my usual cheeseburger, small fry and Coca-Cola classic from good ol' McDonald's. There was a bit of confusion in line and two registers opened at the same time relieving the stress of many waiting customers. So I of course pop over to the first available register since I was the next in line and the woman in front of me went to a different register. The woman in front of me, lets call her bitch face, and I met at the counter at different registers. I ordered my stuff and she ordered whatever she did. Than she looked over to me and we met eye contact, and with a cat glare in her eye she told me, "Next time you should wait your turn in line."
Ummmm.... really?? I mean really?? I thought I was totally in the right and it's Christmas!!! So I fired back, "I'm sorry you couldn't wait two minutes to order your Big Mac Bitch!"

And since than I have decided unless it is absolutely pertinent that I return back to the frigid cold New England motherland, I'm not going, because people are so miserable while they are traveling over the holidays!

On another happier, Chirtmasi-er note.. I just wanted to put it out there that I LOVE Lee Foss.. He is an amazing DJ that I am basically borderline obsessed with and you should be too. Here's some of his jams that are absolutely above fabulash on the Richter Scale!

LUB IT!!

I also finished up with school and ACED that shiz!! Woot Woot! I'm really happy about how well I did even though I felt like Tina Turner the whole semester and I wish that I wasn't facing another 15 years of school and $5 million in potential loans.. 

 

so I decided to take next semester off, do some soul searching and hopefully find my calling. Wish me luck my little chickens!

I was also privileged enough to be highlighted on this new social nightlife blog out of Austin.

Finally, on a more serious note, I would like to end with a farewell to one of the most amazing men I ever be blessed enough to meet in my life. George William LaFleur, My Poppy. He was the most spiritual being I have ever met walking this planet besides the real deal monks in Thailand, and I truly believe he was a monk himself. He started both of my parents climbing, raised five amazing women including my beautiful mother, he was a visionary in the AA community also known as his "brotherhood" and "fraternity", served in WWII, loved Hawaii and India, loved the White Mountains, was knowledgeable about absolutely everything due to the massive amounts of books that he read, taught me about Indonesia and the astronomy and mandalas, and had the most amazing loving aura of anyone I have ever been around. He is someone that I admire and will continue to strive to attain his sense of calm, peace, and lovingness in my daily life for the rest of my days. 

I love you Poppy!! Stay/hang loose always! xo
