Work Life Imbalance & New Artists

As you can see between my two posts below I let over a month pass before blogging! My bad.

I guess my work/life balance is a little off. It’s been pretty much all work with some life. I’ve been on and off planes from LA to NYC to SF and was supposed to get to Chicago but due to bad weather cancelled the flight and therefore my entire 48hr trip.

As I was walking off my Jetblue flight from NYC, I thought it was a pretty crazy image to see all these TVs running various shows set by passengers. There is so much media surrounding us everyday…there I am watching some show about America’s Next Top Designer Model Idol then on commercials tuning into my iPOD for my quick song before going back to the show.  Then as soon as we land, turning on my Treo to download my emails and check messages from friends and family asking me where I am today. I walk past all the ads in the airport to arrive at baggage claim where Disney has paid to create an illuminated faux luggage ad telling me that the magic is all at Disneyland! And the truth is, I wanted to go to Disneyland where I feel happy and carefree. Then it just made me mad that I was stuck in frickin baggage claim waiting for my dopey bag to come down the shute.

You may be asking, “Wait a minute, so what songs were you listening to on your iPOD?”…oh yes, back to the music my friends. Well, what got me through all the travels are some cool new artists that I’ve become big fans of…

Amy Winehouse- You Know I’m No Good (favorite song)

James Morrison - Undiscovered (inspirational song)

John Legend - Save Room (reminder that some things are worth the risk)

Check them out if you haven’t already. They’re not NEW NEW but pretty new to me

And BTW- I have tickets to see the Police and John Mayer in June so stay tuned for reviews!
