Today is an incredibly dark day. It’s almost baffling how a day could begin, be, and end this dark.

It’s bringing my energy down slightly, but I’m fighting it.

This morning I woke up to the chorus of Journey’s Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’ and that was a great way to be startled out of bed:

Then we ended the day in the car with a classic that always gets my heart pumping. Daughter by Pearl Jam:

One of my favorite things about America is how often they play Pearl Jam and Nirvana on car radio.

On another note, I’ve got a question to pose to the two people reading this blog. Katy, and mom. And possibly a straggler who found their way onto this site thinking they might learn some Chinese.

My question is, will you buy me a ticket to see Prince in Vancouver? I found out from listening to a Canadian radio station he will be playing their megalopolis before heading to Tacoma which means I could theoretically see Prince live, if I were willing to spend 86 dollars and find a friend to do the same. Or had somebody who loves me with money…

I mean, can you imagine it?! It would be completely nuts, we’d most certainly go crazy!
