2015

End of the 1st month of 2015 and so many things on my mind. Continuous self improvement, the meaning/point of life, what makes me happy, what is important is all on my mind. I know this blog is called happy and fabulous hazel and for the most part I am happy and fabulous, but 2015, man, I would say probably hit me like a ton of bricks. Definitely a turning point or awakening and making me think of things I've never considered. I'm turning 30 this year, and I know it's so cliche to be wondering about life when one reaches this point, But I've definitely been doing it. Happy 2015 ya'll. We can do this. We will make it!

Wildest Moments

Fromt he outside everyone wonders why we try. Baby in our wildest moments, we can be the greatest. We can be worst of all. 

Broods

Burning bridges. Watch a couple struggle as they go back and forth if it's times to end or move on.

Chet faker

First song I've listened to that is Chet Faker was probably his cover of No Diggity. Which is a good cover. Listen to it. 

This music video is fun though. 3 girls on roller skates. I first tried roller skating not that long ago and I actually liked it. Some roller rinks can be quite a blast too.

Moosic: Prayer in C

 Lilly Wood & the Prick  &  Robin Schulz. The video is fun. Watch it.

Lyrics

Ya, you never said a word

You didn't send me no letter

Don't think I could forgive you

See, our world is slowly dying

I'm not wasting no more time

Don't think I could believe you

Ya, you never said a word

You didn't send me no letter

Don't think I could forgive you

See, our world is slowly dying

I'm not wasting no more time

Don't think I could believe you

Ya, our hands will get more wrinkled

And our hair, it will be grey

Don't think I could forgive you

And see the children are starving

And their houses were destroyed

Don't think they could forgive you

Hey, when seas will cover lands

And when men will be no more

Don't think you can forgive you

Yeah, when there'll just be silence

And when life will be over

Don't think you will forgive you

Uptown Oakland

Not sure I've written about Dogwood yet. But it's been a favortie for good cocktails in the area. Tonight I had a Percy's elixir. It's gin, gentiane-Quina, and chinato. I don't know what the heck that all means. I'm just drinking it. It's the bartenders recipe. Is her name Percy? I have not figured that out yet. They even have the "best" grilled cheese in the Bay, so they say. Which I have had. And it is pretty good! They even have a deli slicer. That means they are serious.

Goodbye 2014. Hello 2015.

2014 you have been good to me. It wasn't all ups for sure, some heartaches, some moments when life felt like at a stall. But nevertheless thank you for the great year. Just last year I was still going to school, and working at my first real job at my dream place. I *finally* graduated. Relationships changed. I moved 3 times in the last 18 months- up to the Bay Area and even got my first own place in Oakland and then I am now settled again in downtown Oakland. Met new friends. Strengthened old friendships. While 2013 had a lot of momentum, 2014 felt more right. I finally had an opportunity to work a "normal" schedule. And then finally getting a a great opportunity to work where I can see myself growing. 2015 will be good. 

Happy New Ya'll!
