Reggae Music

I stopped listening to Reggae music for a long long time because of my ex. It reminded me of him to the fullest. And honestly it still does, but it doesn't hurt as much now.

I have been listening to it all night by now and I miss it. I am not around as many people that love it anymore and it's never on and I never hear it. I don't understand why. It is amazing. The beats are so good.

My favorite band in the entire world is Steel Pulse. They are amazing. There has been so many different things about this band that make me love them but listening to their music right now reminds me of every single minute. I have seen them live every time they have come to New York, but they havent been here in literally YEARS.

Reggae music in my life means SO many different things. Basically all revolving around my life with my Ex. And the good times that we had. Yeah we had bad times, but when I look back on it, we had really good times and this kid would have done anything for me. And it takes being away from him and with someone else to realize that. And it really does make me sad when I listen to it because it only reminds me of the good things with him.



Reggae music to me...
college
my ex, T
smoking
live concerts
drinking budweiser outside our apartment and listening to reggae in the parking lot
parties every night at V and I's apartment
listening to Steel Pulse on music studio equipment smoking weed out the window in NYC.
many many drugs
the best moments of my life.
Ziggy Marley's album... driving to NH... ugh

So so many things and god I miss it all so much..... If i could go back and relive those days and make them last much, much longer, I would do it in a heart beat.

The song "Bodyguard" by Steel Pulse has soooo many meanings to me and my friends... basically reminding me of the time in college that involved my ex, and my two best friends. It was a crazy situation. Maybe one day I will explain it.

Do you love Reggae? Does any type of music have this sort of effect on you?

A Bob Marley Quote

Confessions of a twenty something year old posted this awesome quote today and I loved it so much that I had to repost it because it is something that T should have known since he loved Bob Marley so much.

"You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before, she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect- you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together, but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break- her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there"

-Bob Marley

This here is such a fucking awesome quote, that it doesn't only apply to T, it applies to every single guy out there that will someday date me. That Bob Marley, what a genius ;) I have always been so inspired by his music, and then when I saw this quote, I can relate to it very well..

So I was asked yesterday to go to a party this weekend by R, who is T's best friend, and he told me that T would be there. Although it is his birthday, I declined, because I really don't have anything to say to T, I don't know if I would even be able to handle seeing him, let alone being in the same place as him, LET ALONE being completely ignored and honestly, I cannot handle it right now. No way in hell. I would be right back to square 1 if I saw him and it took a lot of work and I am making some progress now to get where I am and not thinking about him everyday. So NO! I will NOT be going to this party, nor anywhere that T is for at LEAST a year.

That is my T story of the day. I am hoping there will be less and less.

Costa Rica Part 2

And I continue....

7.If you get pulled over..
The cops will say you are going to get a ticket. Make sure when you pull out your drivers licsense you don't have all your money showing. When they tell you how much it will be, say you are leaving tomorrow and if there is anyway that you can pay for it. They will most likely tell you its like $60 or $100 and you'll have to give them cash. Hopefully this wil be your end solution bc its much easier to do that.


8. Volcano bus tours --
Although the tour guide was nice and we did get to see a volcano erupt from real far away and about 10 seconds, I wouldn't recommend spending $120 / per person on this tour. The one we did was the tour to Volcan Arenal

and the tour guide picked you up at 8:45 in the morning and you go to lunch, go to the hot springs, go to dinner and then at like 8 you go to the volcano and see it erupt. It was pretty cloudy when we went though so you could barely see it.
I would not recommend going with a tour guide. Get a map and take your car for a ride. You will save more than $150!


9. Go to Volcan Poas.

It was an awesome experience, especially if you have never seen a volcano before.
Plus its close to San Jose and only costs $10pp to park inside the park.



10. Bring mostly cash.
The banks and ATMs in Costa Rica are crazy. Most of the time they were out of money. When you found one that wasn't out of money, the most you could take out would be $100 or $100 worth of colones a--and that is for the entire day. So..... bring cash!



11. Costa Rica has the same plug sockets as the USA so you don't need to buy a converter.



12. On the Pacific Coast in Jaco, do not leave your stuff on the beach and go for a walk or a long swim. It may be gone by the time you come back. So make sure you either bring it with you or stay with it.



13. Go on a Canopy Tour

They are amazing and awesome and should not be missed! We went to one in Jaco, and it was good enough! You can find them all over the place. Ziplining through the rain forest --you cant really get much better!

14. See the sunset over the Pacific Ocean
It would be better to go to the Peninsula Nicoya so that there won't be any land in the way of your sunset, but this was the closet we could get and it looked pretty damn nice!



15. Look at the schools in the different towns, they are so different.




16. Best bar on the Caribbean Coast in Puerto Viejo: The Tex Mex

Pura Vida.
