Day 49



parachute is playing a show in baltimore and i cant go.

dammit.

not my normal type of music but im not going to lie, parachute can rock it out. i have seen them four times and each time, they just get better. one time, me and a group of friends hopped on a plane and crashed in LA for a weekend to see parachute play a show at the house of blues in anaheim.

it was an awesome show. tonight will be an awesome show.

Day 45



happy valentine's day!

below, find a brief version of the holiday's history below:
Saint Valentine's Day, commonly shortened to Valentine's Day, is an annual commemoration held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions. The day is named after one or more early Christian martyrs, Saint Valentine, and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD. It was deleted from the Roman calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul VI, but its religious observance is still permitted. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.


and here is my special valentine for you!! (thanks alexis)
