Whiskey and Lace

This probably should have been my first entry on this blog, but it wasn't, I was otherwise inspired as you can tell by the three posts, and the video that are up, below this entry.

Whiskey and Lace, is obviously a new blog, but the writer of it isn't. I've been blogging off and on for a few years now, but i realized recently that my old blog said things, but never really said anything. If you know what I mean.

The world is full of words, people are speaking constantly. We are surrounded by spoken languages, visual languages, emotional, textual, and ecological. Everything is speaking to us. But when we open our mouths to say something are we really saying anything?

When I was deciding what to call this space, I wanted it to be something cool. My last blog was called "You Cant Measure Dreams". Which I thought at the time was awesome. I loved it. I'd heard the words off of the TV show One Tree Hill. But nothing I wrote or spoke about really had any value. Yeah, I had a few gems thrown in there but all of it was basically crap. In the sense that nothing i wrote really was me, or my thoughts.

"The mind is a reflex organ." - Soc from Peacful warrior movie.

Those words are very true and that is what I did with YCMD. I reacted to things I never absorbed them, and evaluated life. My eyes weren't really open. My bubble was too tight to truly grasp what it meant every time i opened my mouth.

So thinking about Whiskey and Lace I realized that I needed something that was both Strong willed and unafraid to show the delicacy of life. I needed something that could be at once Badass and Gentle. The world is a mix of contradictions after all.

So I spent hours looking for words that embodied that concept and thus was born Whiskey and Lace.
