Coffee and a Conversation
As Told Over Brunch is a home for intelligent discourse from the twenty-something perspective - so the stuff you gossip about over mimosas on Sunday morning or over takeout on your friend's couch when happy hour ends too early. We love chatting about our lives, whether it be the relationships we’re building (or destroying), lessons we've learned at work, struggles at school, growing pains we've felt, or even the food we’re talking over.
Based on the title of the blog, you might think I'm going to give you some advice on how to find yourself. Let's be real, when people ask what makes me happy, it's easier to tell them what I don't enjoy (looking at you, paint night ). No, I can't help you find yourself because I don't even know where I am, but I can help you let Spotify do it for you.
At the end of this week I’ll be embarking on my band’s International World Tour. Needless to say, I can hardly believe it’s already time for takeoff. But before I go, I obviously want to brag – I mean blog – about how exactly I ended up in a band, despite my lack of musical abilities.
Two work friends and myself came up with this pipe dream where we would enter our company’s talent competition so we could win a free trip to our parent company in the United Kingdom. The reason it seemed realistic was that no one else was competing, but the reason it seemed unrealistic was that only one of us could do anything musical whatsoever. We didn’t let that stop us though.
Read MoreCazey texted me a link to this album this morning, and it's been a stellar addition to my work day today. So stellar that I wanted to share it on here, which I usually don't do. I think I speak for both of us when I say it's highly recommended: http://www.mtv.com/artists/vance-joy/#vh1
My only real problem with this album is that I had a chance to see it performed live and I missed out! He was at Firefly it turns out, as was I, but I didn't know about him at that time. Such a moment of FOMO and a total bummer. Here's hoping Vance Joy comes to my town, or any town near me.
Let Cazey and me know what your thoughts are about Vance's new album in the comments. Any chance you'll be buying it? I know Cazey will be buying it and giving it to me as a gift. Well, maybe not that second part of the sentence.
