Musical Inspiration – Kicking December Off Right

New month and rather than drag my feet and focus on a ‘no’, it’s time to return to my original journey and a number of dreams that I’ve been sliding to the back burner, whilst dealing with more immediate demands, most of which are for others dreams.  I love helping others out, but too often I seem to do so at the expense of my own dreams. How do I stop?  I don’t really know.  I guess I could learn to say ‘no’, but that might take time, as thats a word that doesn’t come easily to me.  In the meantime, a few tunes to kick me into the right gear:

Musical Pick Me Up (Canadian Style)

Had one of those ends of my day, where really the only cure is music, and better yet, music that makes me smile and reminds that as a Canadian artist you can be successful. So I returned to a longstanding tradition of my teen years – mixed tape making – only wish this looked like an actual cassette tape (it’s a security thing, kind of like my yellow blankie that’s still in my room at home – if anyone knows how to do such things on the web, please share, I couldn’t find what I wanted):

PS If one of your tunes is not on here, it’s because I was limited to what I could find on Grooveshark, which brings me to my apologies to the Mac crowd – their widgets are flash based – I’ll put in a request for a change to html5.

Pre-Game World Cup KickOff Show From My Deck

So that the neighborhood slugs and plants didn’t feel left out, I did perform a pre-game show for them (performed to fellow Canadian, K’naan’s Wavin’ Flag), on top of the half game show for the crows and cats:

Alas I learnt a few things from the slugs and plants, like interactivity is not always a good thing.  I am happy to state that no plants were harmed in any of the stunt roles they played.  I am mourning the loss of one slug, however (and I am still trying to remove all slug goo from between the toes).  I’d appreciate everyone taking a moment of silence in honour of the role the slug played.

Kisses,

Emme xoxo
