Boom. Love.



Four months ago

It started out like any other morning leaving for work when I lived in the hood. Driving, smoke in hand, loud music, sun shining....
I had a few routes that I took depending on how badly LA traffic wanted to kick my ass. I took Fountain, one of my most trusted routes for a quick commute. The street and sights were familiar, the curves in the road and the people on their morning walks. I past the bend in the road that told me I was close to my destination. On this particular morning, after the bend in the road I saw a young man unloading his Jeep Grand Cherokee in the lot of a small and cool building I always took note of. He was beautiful, radiant. Immediately I thought "pull over, yell out the window, do something..." instead I continued to work and made the note to pay attention and when my day took me that way again, to be aware in case he was thrown in my path again.

Last week

My girlfriend Hannah who also works for me met this great guy, he came into the Waff and they immediately connected due to her open and eager spirit overhearing him and his guy friends conversation about universal truths and love. They chatted and exchanged info... and hit it off. After meeting his friends, Hannah came to me and said "he has a friend I think you would really like." A personal note, I have been on a couple not so great dates ... its impossible to connect with someone once you've had this sort of enlightenment if they have not done the same. Its like a cement wall - you just wont get through.
I decided to use the internet as my spy and did a little checking out of this soon to be "set up." Immediately I noticed we shared something huge... we both let love be the groundwork for everything, big or small that was in our lives. Yes. Yes. Yes.

When we met, it was as if we were meeting again, or...not meeting...but that we had been looking for something that was just found. Hit over the head, love consumed every part of me.

The next night, Hannah and I were walking to their house for his birthday dinner... we got some goodies and walked up to the building. As we walked to his street we turned the corner and followed the bend in the road. Hannah said, "that's their building..." I looked up and stopped.
Without knowing it, we were on Fountain, standing in front of this very familiar building.
I burst out into laughter, looking at the stars and joyfully acknowledging the gift that was just given.

Since last week I don't think one second has gone by that he hasn't been on my mind... truthfully, he has been on my mind for years. I have been sending him energy and messages that were delivered as promised by that which guides me, and gives me undeniable strength. It was him I saw; his building, his parking spot, his Jeep...

Nothing is by chance. Nothing is coincidence. This is something that once you know, is continually shown to you with each day you embrace. Proven time and time again by way of the Universe and energy.

"The words have been lost through time and ignorance but we will find them and give them life...for this feeling over love...sublime bliss I feel with and for you."

Embrace today, and always love.

Candy Stripper Bromance

It was one of those afternoons with my new best boyfriends that I knew had the potential of getting completely out of control. It started on a patio with a bbq, and an amazing view. As the day turned to night, everyone agreed that it was definitely going to be taken to a whole new level.

A quick car drop off/the only girl out with four guys wardrobe change and we were on our way. A little drunk already, and high on the fun (ok ok just high) we went to Tiki T's for some down right amazing cocktails. I have never been there before, but my new boyfriends were familiar faces. Most drinks are very complex and have a bunch of ingredients. The atomosphere was party ready, people hootin' and hollarin which of course added to the already beaming energy the night was producing.

I am sure you can imagine that upon leaving Tiki T's we were pretty toasty... then, someone (obviously I have no recollection as to who) mentioned that Jumbos Clown Room, a local dive bar/weirdo strip club was right down the street. Boom. Done.

We get there, and it was pretty awesome. I cashed in for some singles and I found myself sitting right up at the floor making it rain. A few shots later, a few after that... my boyfriends bought me a lapdance. I sat there, proud, smiling, hands behind my head and sitting like a dude. It was a proud moment. I complimented my stripper a few times during the dance, pretty legendary. We stumbled out a few later and as much as I would like to go into details I really cant remember, I know there was Tommy's Burger involved... and a hangover the next day.

Anyway, the moral of this story is don't be a stripper, enjoy every moment you have to the fullest, and make it rain...
