Diggin' "Out"

Today was one of those days where I struggle to find 5 things that I loved today. Nothing was huge in giving me the "wow" moment but these little things just made me feel good.

1. This morning I had an amazing idea for another bracelet that I will attempt to make. I
2. It's still pretty awesome that I continue to get those fun text messages throughout the day. 
3. Started using Spotify today. Cool stuff. Was jammin' to Sting's new album "25 Years" and Prince's "The Hits and the B-Sides". I'm diggin' it like an old soul record.
4. HAHAHAHA X Factor always seems to make me laugh and feel good when I witness people are working toward their dreams and are passionate about what they love. I love that.
5. I love how strong and courageous this guy is when he came out to his mom.  There are a few similarities for me and well, you just gotta be YOU and love yourself enough to be the person you are.  Living a life of authenticity. Watch the videos here - Coming out to mom  - Coming out to dad

Quotable 5

1.  "I believe that all people, regardless of their personal belief, or religious denomination, would agree that being honest with yourself, your family, and those around you, is a great foundation for living your life. It has been a long, hard journey for me, and I want people to learn from my mistakes, not share them." - Great quote from former MLB Player, Billy Bean!

Taking Chances

1.
2. Lots of people on campus seemed to be smiling and happy and that makes me happy.
3. My roommates dad is visiting from Russia and gave me a bottle of TRUE Russian Vodka.  How cool is that? Of course I can't read Russian, but I can make out some of the words. Oh, and the word "vodka" in Russian pretty much looks like BODKA - although the D is a character that looks like an artsy Roman Numeral II or the PI symbol.
4. I got a nice message from a couple of people today that made me smile.
5. Dexter on X Factor sang the hell out of "This is a Man's World".  He's homeless and hopeful.  I'm glad he's getting a shot at getting himself back on his feet.  I love when people are given second chances.
