Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart.

Losing someone never gets easier. Day by day, year by year life has a funny way of carrying on and somehow your soul finds the energy to keep moving. There’s days that are easy - happy days, inspiring days, moments of clarity where it somehow all makes sense. But something as simple as a smell, a photograph, or a memory brings you back to where it all began. Your life without them.
Missing you tonight, bro.
Sending everyone lots of love, happiness, health and dreams come true in 2012

Christmas Playlist
This time of the year, you can put on any radio station to hear some Christmas classics. Oftentimes I find myself listening to Delilah (shhh…don’t tell) because you can always rely on her to pair up some sappy holiday tune that ties back to whatever issue the caller had - but did you ever realize that she never really solves their problem?
There’s a little secret I want to let you in on. There’s some really good holiday music out there that lives on outside of the radio airwaves. Two of my favorite albums this Christmas are She & Him’s A Very She & Him Christmas and Emmy the Great & Tim Wheeler’s This is Christmas. She & Him bring you classic Christmas songs with a sweet sound that only Zooey Deschanel can bring. Emmy the Great & Tim Wheeler’s spin on Christmas is a little more upbeat and quirky bringing an unconventional infectious twist to the expected sounds of Christmas.
I put together this playlist as a little gift to all of you. It’s no flatscreen or DSLR, but it’s guaranteed to warm your hearts this Christmas.
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - She & Him
Happy XMas (War is Over) - John Lennon
I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday - Wizzard
Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses
Marshmallow World - Emmy the Great & Tim Wheeler
Blue Christmas - Elvis Presley
The Christmas Song - The Raveonettes
Silent Night - Weezer
Christmas Treat - Julian Casablancas
An extended version of my playlist can be found on Spotify, throw it on shuffle and give it a listen here.
Merry Christmas yall!
xxo
PS. Of course I can’t forget about our good friends from the JB crew. Mistletoe is another must have guilty pleasure this holiday season and was on full rotation on my drive home for the holidays.
