Hey, vinyl.
Enjoy the little things in life. One day you’ll look back and realize that they were the big things.

More Moto photo fun for me on our Instagram campaign. I get to play with super cool Sol headphones, some rad phones and social media. Is this real life? You should follow @Motorola, if you’re so inclined, and like the shit outta my photos. We also run contests on that account from time-to-time - check it!

My first Moto Photo hit the Insta-airwaves today! Its pretty exciting to be able to mix business with pleasure. Next step? Figuring out how to incorporate wine into a photo shoot about electronics…

I was just recently turned on to TED Talks - a non-profit that shares, in short, “ideas worth spreading.” This one hit pretty close to the Type A, neurotic home I call my mind and think that her ideas on vulnerability are certainly worth spreading.

How about them Hoosiers, huh?

Seems like as good a title as any, especially when I’m nearly all the way through a large iced coffee from DD. (Where I went specifically because I got a free-donut-with-coffee-purchase and promptly realized I am wearing a different coat than when I got the free-donut-with-coffee-purchase ticket from the human-sized donut on Lake.)

I’ve never done crack cocaine but I imagine that if I did I’d react similarly to when I have 16 glorious ounces of iced caffeine running through my veins. If you’re still reading - props and happy hump day!

As per my usual day-lateness, here are a few tidbits about our long weekend in NYC.



1. It made me realize how much I love Chicago for all of the reasons that I thought I’d hate it. And while I’ll probably always question the motives of people smiling at me for seemingly no good reason, it does beat looking into the hardened eyes of many NYers I saw this weekend who appeared to hate me everything for seemingly no good reason.

2. If you are ever traveling to NY, get in touch with this girl. Not only is she one of the sweetest and sassiest ladies I’ve ever met, she’s got a penchant for finding the best grub and hidden gems.

3. Good friends are hard to find and important to keep.







4. It’s also important to travel with your significant other. It can be easy to stop “seeing” them when your surroundings don’t change. And even if he did refer to me as his “bro” the other day, I think we’ve got a good thing going.

5. Disney likes to claim it’s the happiest place on earth but I know the truth, Flaming Saddles is actually the happiest place on earth.
