so yesterday I went to a Vulcan real-estate sneek peek party for some upcoming condo developments in southlake union. Within the next 5 years southlake union is going to be transformed - - - you thought Joey's was the next coolest thang, just wait...

Since I've been in marketing, I can't shop the same, watch TV the same, nor attend events like these and realize what they're "really" trying to do. However, I was sucked right in, I went straight to the marketer and complimented him on his genius.  They hooked me quick with the drinks, free food and trendy atmosphere...I wanted to buy a condo prior to even seeing it. I felt like I was in a club with my parents and bro (obviously the target demographic wasn't my parents).

do check out the projects going on -Seattle is not going to be the same.http://www.discoverslu.com/ 

What is it that attracts me to big busy cities, why am I so drawn to crowded trains, noise, lights and life, people everywhere, restaurants, cultures, street music...next stop, NY in sept, just to get sneak peek.

- when did you fall in love

This song is so cute, starts off with this line

You're all smiles and silly conversation as if this sunny day came just for you...you twist your hair and smile and turn your eyes away. Come on tell me what's right with you

Okay, Seattle comes to life when the sun comes out...so does Emily. I've been bit MIA for a while. Lately, I've been too happy houred out - after too much pizzas, dips, sushi, drinks, and all that fried food, I just want a fat bowl of rice and veggies. mmmm....

 So I started rollerblading again, Renee and I are on quest to find any flat trials in the Seattle area (not by the road) because we can't stop....never did learn.  

Do we live for the coffee or for the cup?

My Cup of Coffee
  
  A group of alumni, highly established in their
careers, visited their old university professor.
Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress
in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the
professor went to the kitchen and returned with a
large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups -
porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain
looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them
to help themselves to hot coffee.
  
  When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand,
the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice
looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind
the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for
you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the
source of your problems and stress.
  
  What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the
cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and
were eyeing comparing, perhaps jealously, with each
other's cups.
  
  Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and
position in society are the cups.  They are just tools
to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life
doesn't change. Some times, by concentrating only on
the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."
  
  So, don't let the cups deceive you. enjoy the
coffee instead.
