Music: Hocus Pocus

Just thought I'd take a quick moment and share a video from one of my favorite music groups, Hocus Pocus.  They're a jazzy hip-hop band(although I've always seen them perform as a multi-cultural duo composed of emcee 20Syl and guitarist Matthieu Lelièvre) from Nantes, France.

Check out this bilingual mini-performance of the song Smile, which originally featured Black British soulster Omar, here...

Love these guys...

Moving pains...

I haven't posted much lately, because I'm moving. I hate moving. I do it a lot, but I genuinely hate it.

I wanted to take a picture of the three suitcases and carry-on that I managed to fit my whole life in England into in order to move to the US(temporarily) to show you all, but it was too disheartening.

I wanted to say goodbye to everyone in Manchester properly, but there wasn't enough time to see everyone or to say all the things.

I wanted to visit all the places that I loved best and the places that I hadn't gotten to know well enough to love yet.

I wanted to bestow all the things I left behind on people lovingly, rather than dumping them in the local Oxfam for random passers-by.

I wanted to have more time to do all the things I could. But I needed to leave to do all the things that are waiting for me.

And right now, I want to go unpack.

Peace, beautiful people. Love where you are, and appreciate where you're going.
