Something Like Olivia Contest: My Entry!

I finally took my writing ideas to film by entering a contest for John Mayer and I love it!!!!! I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the help of my friend who played Olivia, Erika Hofman, my crazy lovable friend also in the video, Elizabeth Schwartz, and of course the wonderful people & places of NYC. Click the pic below to check out the video and please… Enjoy!

[#622-#676 ]: Beauty is…

I may never write again like I did when I was a teenager. Files like the one I found today in my writing folder remind of that. When certain things were new, like love and college and horizons. Yet, experience and unexperience make us who are we are. Thank God for the Almighty “Save” key and also the Beatles who will always bring  and remind me to who I am. A person who loves the simple beauty in life. The questions that make us who we are. The music that shows us who we are.

I made this list prior to who I currently am. But its indefintely who I still am.

Beauty is….

• Letting the music speak
• The way Johny Depp sneaks a look in “Happily Ever After”
• Fall Leaves crunching
• Foggy windows
• Sunlight hiding an image
• Hands being held for the first time
• A balcony
• Bubble baths
• A record player
• Chandeliers
• Sounds of cooking
• Shock
• A tear that hangs on and falls with a blink
• Sheer desperation
• The Beatles
• Strumming an acoustic guitar
• Sand
• Sea foam
• Cobble stone
• Confusion & Wonderment
• A mix tape…an actual cassette though with a handwritten sticker
• Chimes and the wind that rustles thru them
• Christmas lights
• An old piano
• A bottle clanking on a wooden table
• Children’s laughter
• Laughter
• A sincere smile
• Twinkles (lights & notes)
• Catching a stare
• A kiss on the stomach
• A kiss on the ear
• A kiss on the forehead
• Writing messages on each other
• A blur and a focus
• Black and white
• Shades of gray
• Humming
• A random lyric that explains it all
• Graffiti
• Vintage furniture
• Vintage shirts with scarves about them
• Bows
• Renaissance
• Those old diaries that have a ratty leather and a ratty leather ribbon to bind it
• Those old house phones you dial and hold like a banana
• To do lists
• Old lamps
• Candles
• Stationary and vintage stamps
• Vintage bikes
• Greenwich Village
• Audrey Hepburn playing Moon River
• The scent of love
• A slow dance

[#568]: Random Thoughts

 

Had a random thought on the subway and thought I’d share it with my Facebook fam. Always happy when people respond well to something I felt was worth sharing.

#1 “2,011 Reasons to be Happy”

Hello and welcome to my New Years Resolution!

Stop!

Please don’t run in the opposite direction!

You’ll be happy to hear this is clear of gym subscriptions, hiding Marlboro’s behind the cookie jar, and saying “fudge popsicles!” instead of plain old over-the-counter “F&*$ !”

This is SIMPLY hope on a web page. That not only can I change my own life path by creating an exact amount of TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN posts that make me go hmmmmm, (and smile) but also for anyone else who wants to do the same.

 

We’re in a new decade, might as well start it off with a bang and a smile; 2, 011 of them to be exact.

All in Love,

Jessica

#1: My pure dumb happy moment. This is my happy explosion. Let this be a warning. It’s highly flammable.
