I've moved back to Blogspot

Tumblr is great but I’m not an html expert, therefore, I can’t make my blog here look like how I want it to. Blogspot’s been around for forever so they’ve got all widgets and stuff for idiots already.

Please mark my new and final blog at http://trippingthelights.blogspot.com

Thanks!

If You Want

We could go out if you want, to dinner or a movie, or both if it’ll make you happy

And when we’re done, we can pause and gaze at the stars, and for each one we see,

I would bring up at least ten things that make you wonderful.

So if you want, we can stay together through college,
And experience each achievement and failure together.
And any wisdom I receive from the most enlightening class would mean exactly nothing until I can share it with you.

If you want, we could get married afterwards, merging our souls with the infinite.
We’d honeymoon on the Riviera, and if you get bored we could venture
Through the Arctic or even trek through the moon if it would make you happy.
We’d buy a high ranch Tudor style dwelling just like you dreamed of as a
little girl, And we’d give rise to three children who will accompany us
to the ends of the earth.

And everyday, I would make sure to wake up earlier than you,
Just so I could spend ten minutes admiring your beauty.
When you do wake up, you’d find several conspicuously placed post-it notes,
whose solitary reason for being is to reaffirm my undying devotion.

And later on in life, when the days become more valuable,
And the children have all moved on,
and you’re downhearted
Because you’re not as young as you feel,
When this happens,
I will be there to take you back to every place in this world that ever made you happy.

And in the end, when all that is left is waiting for a valediction to supplement this life,
I will remain by your side through all that is left, for as much or as little,
Until the very end and then beyond.

Or, if you want, we could just be friends.

Longing for Longchamp

It’s often called the “best travel bag” because of its roomy shape and sturdy nylon material that is rain and snow proof. French brand Longchamp has been producing their famous Le Pliage colored totes for like, forever and still have women sporting them on the streets whether on vacation or simply on a casual day out. (True enough, I lost count of the number of women in New York who had these.) Check out all the different ones you can choose from. Note that these are from the AW 2005 collection but are still available today. I want a practical color like navy or chocolate. These retail for about $120.

Naturally, I couldn’t resist going to the Longchamp website and looking at their new styles. I discovered that you can customize your own totes now that come with a colored stripe in the middle.

Here’s what I designed:

The best part is that you can personalize the bag further with your initials! After I saw the finished product, I swear I fell further in love.

This customized bag comes with a price tag of $157 and a three week delivery period. Well, I most certainly can’t afford it right now. Sigh. But it’s something I’d like very much in the future. Even if it’s just the much cheaper plain ones on top. I’ll get one next year when I’m rich again! With all the traveling in the past few months, I’ve totally been cleaned out. Boo!

Trip The Light Fantastic; a phrase that means to dance lightly.
So whether it’s living life to the fullest, seeing the brighter side of things while wearing those bloody rose-colored glasses, filling yourself with optimism and being thankful for each and every day given to you, then that’s it. Call it whatever you like. Get all cheesy and cornball if you must but they’re all the same.
Trip The Light Fantastic.
It doesn’t make sense at first but when you get the meaning, then it makes all the difference. And, as an outrageously outfitted singer once said (because she totally gets it)…JUST DANCE!
And that is precisely what I intend to do.
Welcome to my new blog of more meaningful nothings! Cheers!
