Song Lyrics

"Remember seeking moon's rebirth
Rains made mirrors of the earth
The sun was just yellow energy

There is a living promised land
Even over fields of sand
Seasons fill my mind and cover me"
--"Chariot" + Gavin DeGraw

You can get whatever you desire...

Grateful

Being grateful is respecting the possibility of failure or loss while willingly masquerading with the beauty that is keeps you alive and well. Be grateful for the roof over your head, the clothes on your back, the food in your belly while remembering anything in life can take it all away and how you react to it determines your survival...

The Importance Of Water

Via Chena G.:

Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body:
-- 2 glasses of water after waking up helps activate internal organs
-- 1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal helps digestion
-- 1 glass of water before taking a bath helps lower blood pressure
-- 1 glass of water before going to bed avoids stroke or heart attack
...water at bed time will also help prevent night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are seeking hydration when they cramp and wake you up with a Charlie Horse.

Tracks

There's something about railroad tracks that just makes me hypnotized by it's seemingly never ending body. The slight curve that peaks my curiosity down to the adrenaline I get when I think one is going to come without the forewarning of the cross bars and bells signaling me from danger. Against the beautiful blue sky set near spaced out trees, I stopped and stood there gazing into its infinity...

Have you

"Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover" + Sophie B. Hawkins

I've always loved this song. When it first came out, it was the intro song to commercials for melodramas and aired on MTV a lot. I wonder where Sophie is now. I loved her music.




Ciao,
CoCo.

Sombrero Mex -- Review

This evening I got to experience Sombrero Mex in St. Charles County on Highway K. From Highway K, you could see a pretty full lobby with cars lined up in the drive thru. This location used to house the now shut down Del-Taco franchise. Having never been a fan of Del-Taco due to the high amounts of sodium and sub-par selections, I decided to give this place a try. My love and I stood off to the side to look over the overhead menu, selections and prices. I settled on the Pollo Asado Burrito while he selected the Carne Asada Fries Supreme. For those who don't know what "carne asada" is, that's grilled steak. After a lengthy weight, our food was ready. I grabbed a knife and cut my burrito in half and took one bite to see if salsa would be needed. Immediately, my mouth filled with ingredients that lacked in seasoning. Everything was bland. Now when I have Mexican cuisine, I like to be able to taste the flavors and indulge in the textures of what I'm consuming. My burrito lacked in that department. So I tried some of my love's dish and was greeted with the same blandness. The picture attached is what he had and as you can see, this appeared to be promising but lacked in the taste department. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give this place a 4. I will not consider dining here again especially coupled with the loose trash smell I kept getting hit in waves with by the exit door near the drive-thru. A seating arrangement change helped nullify most of that problem but it still disturbed me that the smell was even in the air when there was NO visible signs of loose trash. Blech! Anyways, I hope my review helps!
Bon apetit...or not!

Music Gives Me Life

Ah, my first blog of the year almost 3 months into the year. I have learned so much about myself over the years and as I grow older, my interests are constantly changing. I have literally gone back to basics because basics is where I thrive alone, creatively, and passionately. I am loving the direction I am heading in both my personal life and in my creative life. More to come...
