Sometimes you have to be spur of the moment.

First off, does anyone actually read this blog? I guess I've sorta unpublished it for fear of weirdo stalkers.

Anywho. So today after my amazing morning at church and shenaniganing with my mom, I drove to my friends place to drop off her spare set of keys and to save her a trip from coming to me, since she was moving. As I was driving away and got caught my a red light, I glanced over at the really good looking guy (in a Lexus), and he looked at me. Then I became all oddly shy for a second and acted like I didn't see him look, even though I knew he was thinking she's "acting like she doesn't see me." So I wanted to say something but didn't. It's sort of funny because I never am shy except for sometimes around men. I guess that's the one category I've never really excelled in.

So the next light caught us and I saw him looking at me so I thought "screw it." Rolled down my window, and said "hey i'm tiffany." so we sort of gave each other a 10 second speech, I asked him flirtatiously if he wanted my number, but I ended up getting his. So then he asked me what I was up to and he said he was driving to PB for his friend's BBQ. Sort of funny, that I live and was heading home to PB too.

So we parted ways on the freeway, and I called him when I exited. We totally chatted on the phone got to know each other and met up for a drink 30 minutes later. It was fun. He had good energy we vibed, and definitely were on the same page with a lot of things. Not sure if it's a total match made in heaven, but it looks like we are going to hang again, and if nothing else, it was a reminder that sometimes, granted i'm a Leo, it's fun to live in the moment and be spontaneous at times. I figured what did I have to lose. The whole thing was just ironic, because I was suppose to be on a date tonight, and my friend was suppose to come by my place, so it was an example of how funny it is the way life works, and the way the littlest thing like changing up the order of a day or plans for an evening can sometimes all sync together. Life is cool like that sometimes. I kinda hope this kid calls.

On another note, I was so amazingly inspired by the music at the Rock today (The Wrecking) that I went up and bought a cd after, and walked away. I really wanted to say something to the band members so after walking in and out of the lobby 10 times trying to find my mom, i mustered up the courage and talked with Jon from the band. I told him of how I used to work at a major mainstream label and life took a turn, and after hearing them play today and worship and rock out for the right reasons, i just felt and feel so called to work in music and christian music. It was so cool to talk to him. He wasn't a rock star he was a person, and told me to read the story of Paul, because a lot of musicians have told him similar things, and how Paul was once in my shoes, confused and middle of the line perhaps, and he went for it and did it with passion. The five P's I suppose. So then I asked him if I could give him my card, he gave me his, and then I realized I didn't have cards on me which never happens, so I told him i'd email him. It was cool. I told him I would LOVE to work at Universal Christian side of the label. It just felt and feels like a calling, like I don't have to give up everything. Like I could potentially live in LA again and work at this rad big label with rad christian people and bands and music and feel fulfilled not only on the career front but mentally and emotionally and spiritually as well. I felt so excited walking out of church. The same gut excitement I felt when I knew I had to go to Boston and Emerson for college and the same gut excitement I had when I knew I had to move to LA and make that job at a major label happen rain or shine. In the words of Miles today "God wants you to do it BIG." And Lord, I pray you bless me. I want to shine in that light.

Today was cool. I'm in a new flow again. And while I respect the flow of Barbara Marks Hubbard, It;s not the flow I want to be saved by. It's not the flow that will bless the highest. Praise the biggest.

I'm excited for the future. Life is rad sometimes. Think positive at all times and manifest.

Peace.
