jar of hearts

so as predicted..I am awful at keeping up with the blogging. However here I am, sitting at work, not getting a call..and began clicking through YouTube clips. Recently I heard a song by Christina Perri "Jar of Hearts". She's a girl my age, which of course makes me wish it was me singing the songs and allows me to more realistically live vicariously through her. She had been working in a coffee shop to support herself, until she was asked to perform "Jar of hearts" for So you think you can dance. I had heard her song on the radio and immediately fell in love with her voice and lyrics. She sings about love and life, two things which are most often heard in music. But somehow I feel touched by her songs and hear a sort of honesty through her lyrics. Through my YouTube-ing..I also found myself listening to this song several times "Arms" also by Christina Perri.

Love love love the lyrics.

I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I'm home

How many times will let you me change my mind and turn around
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I've never opened up
I've never truly loved 'Till you put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go


I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

You put your arms around me and I'm home

 

I have a hairdresser phobia.
In the past I have had a series of bad haircuts and horrible updo's. SO I developed the ability to cut and style my own hair. Sometimes it would work out and others it would not. Finally I decided it was time I suck it up and try out a new hair salon. I remembered seeing a new hair salon go up in the main street of Newmarket..and decided I would give them a try. And I am so happy I did.
I walked in and immediately felt comfortable. I was greeted with friendly smiles and introduced to the young hip salon owners/team members. The salon worker who cut my hair had a conversation with me around what I wanted, in which of course I disclosed my fear of hair dressers. She was very understanding and personable as she walked me through the process of what she would be doing to my hair. At the end she wasn't pushy asking me to buy any hair products but gave a big smile and handed over her card.
Needless to say I was very impressed with my new hair, the friendly team and the funky decor of the salon. I felt right at home and will most definitely be a return customer.
Here's a shout out to Studio Five on Main Street Newmarket..and to helping me get over my phobia!http://studiofivehair.com/

Welcome...to me!

This is yet another attempt to create a blog. I had started one in university but never kept it up. This time I  hope it will be different. I have a goal. Well some what of a goal. It is to post new findings...or new discoveries. Something of that sort. So I guess its not that clear of a goal..but here's the idea behind it.
I feel as though I find myself constantly wanting to find out about new music, hidden delhi's, grungy bars or random community events. And sometimes it's hard to find!
So my thought is to provide my findings...to well you!
And sometimes it might be an old song that I'm just finding out about, or a delhi that isn't really all that hidden..but for some reason I've just found out about it or I just want to tell people about it!
So here it goes...
