Don't worry, I won't lollygag on the list of memorable events that occurred during these past 10 years. Thats what TIME magazine is for.
I will say, at least, that the past year of MY life was....well, I guess I'd use the word progressive. I learned more about myself and realized that I was being blinded by my own generosity and compassion. I realized how important it is to rid life of its toxins. So I ripped them out. My life was a nose and I was one of those pore cleansing strip thingies that rip blackheads and gunk from your face. (God, was that a horribly corny analogy.)
2009 was a year to let go of the heaviness of my past and to drop the bags I had been carrying on my back. Not to sound all sentimental and "ex-emo", but I have never been so content and legitimately HAPPY with my life as a whole.
Well anyhow, now I am going into twenty-ten fresh-faced and positive-minded.
And BO-HO-HOY! I most DEFINITELY started the year off right by going to Wale's back to back sold out show at the 9:30 Club. It was of course, insane. Nothing beats rockin' to 90210 and Shades and Mirror off his new album Attention Deficit (which I should also add is probably my favorite album of '09) AND in the same show throwin' my hands up to go-go classics that non-dc natives know nothing about. It was fire. Hot sick nasty fire.
Unfortunately though, I was told by 9:30 club staff that I could not take pictures. Actually pictures WERE allowed...just not with a "good camera" they said. Soooo, my poor D-SLR was locked away from me until the show was over.
In the absence of pictures, please enjoy a track from his INGENIOUS album. Courtesy of Youtube.
