3,000 miles

Friends from the bay last week, I love them. Friends from the bay this weekend, hopefully it will be just as good.

Steinbeck Country

I grew up about an hour north of Monterey and Salinas, or what sometimes is referred to as Steinbeck Country. Salinas always seemed kind of dull from the just looking at it when I was younger, I always had to go there for the most random reasons and remember always being bored. Being mostly lettuce fields and other produce being grown. But recently this area has brought up a certain homesick after watching East of Eden, because it is one of the areas of California with such history and culture to it. And right on the other side of the mountains in Monterey, which has a beautiful bay, and part of the amazing coastline that I was lucky enough to hang out around a lot of my life. Plus the food is so fresh around there, some of my favorite Mexican food in California I ate in Monterey. I can not wait to go back.

Could GaGa do this?

I watched this after waking up at like 5 am the other morning, after not seeing it for like years. It gave me chills, or maybe I was just really stoned. To think this was live, and she knew she didn't have to sound just like the recorded version. She could sing it exactly how she wanted.

B-Side

Freddie Mercury is a person I admire very much and Queen is one of my favorite bands, this is one of my favorite songs, although not sung by Freddie, but by Brian May. Goes to show how amazing Queen was as a collective.
