Music, drinks, and a chill atmosphere 

|  

So it’s a been a fun time at #firefly music festival. Making friends with our camp neighbors. Played so beer pong, corn hole, and finished off with some shots before heading into festival area.

Favorite part of the night was setting up our hammock and lounging while we listened to Kings of Leon.

We still have two full days left, and just replenished our ice and beer for more fun times!!

Codekit Warning!!

Got this warning!

DEPRECATION WARNING on line 87 of /Applications/CodeKit.app/Contents/Resources/engines/compass/compass-core/stylesheets/compass/css3/_deprecated-support.scss: #{} interpolation near operators will be simplified
in a future version of Sass. To preserve the current behavior, use quotes:

unquote(‘”$moz-“#{$experimental-support-for-mozilla} “$webkit-“#{$experimental-support-for-webkit} “$opera-“#{$experimental-support-for-opera} “$microsoft-“#{$experimental-support-for-microsoft} “$khtml-“#{$experimental-support-for-khtml}’)

You can use the sass-convert command to automatically fix most cases.

Coding Trials and Tribulations

After several hours of trying to figure out what was creating some extra padding on my website. I resorted to removing some new code that varied from my static build which behaved as I expected.

After about 20 minutes, I found the culprit. It was a social media plugin I was using. The widget itself worked great but it ruined my layout.  So I removed it and found another solution.

Lesson learned: Great to have a static site to see how it behaved before you start adding widgets and dynamic data. So if it works on the static and broken on your new implementation, start removing additions and see where the problem lies.  This would have saved me hours of stress since I was sure my css and code were good!

Fading

Her smile is a faint memory
Her laughter starts to fade
The familiar faces that once stared back at me are now strangers
The tears have dissipated,
Yet she still manages to creep up,
but the memories don’t make my heart bleed,
For once i smile,
For once I’m not afraid
For once I’m at peace
For once I wish her farewell

Sifting

|  

Sifting through memories, i stumble across a picture.
Her picture.
I stare and I’m immediately there in front of her.
I am speechless. She looks at me as though I have been gone.
She looks at me as someone who has somehow survived a great heartbreak.
A heart break which I caused.
She stares in disbelief, because for once in her life she sees the love that has always been there.
She sees the love my love with no fear.

Rain melts the pain.

It all began, in the car. I was driving around to find a house. I new where I was, but yet I still couldn’t find the house that I was looking for.

In my deepest part of my soul I knew where I was supposed to go. But yet my mind would not let me remember how to get there… So I veered off, and parked. Then a bright flash! At this point I am standing in a vast empty field, with a thick fog filling the vastness of the the field. The air felt warm but the the moisture of the fog gave it a slight chill.

Then the rain. It was more than drops. It was like I was submerged underwater. The rain fell so hard and so fast, that it felt like I was falling. Yet the immense peace that I felt, kept me calm. The rain was the most soothing feeling I have felt in years, it was warm, and even though it fell hard, it was soft on my skin. All the pain, doubt, anxiety, all the negativity I have ever felt, melted and washed away with the rain. Then I noticed the steam coming from my hands and arms! I felt so free! I felt like I was reborn! And then my eyes open.

Strange

|  

Strange to think that memories can attack you!
Can bring about emotions that u thought had passed!
But a smile, a long soft kiss, the deep stare of her eyes, brings u back to that moment!
Then the surge of emotions hit!
Not of one specific, but the culmination of time passed!
The joy, the anger, the hate, the loneliness, and the love that has perished!
The dam that I have carefully built is starting to give!
Another storm and I fear that the flood will destroy me!

Blink, Blink

Cars honking, with their yellowish blinking lights letting the people behind them know where they are to go. But the irony is that no one is moving. Yet the consistent blinking is reminding you that they are heading in that same direction, yet no movement. You play with the radio to try and distract yourself from the rambling ideas in your mind.

One that quickly comes to mind is that one of missile launchers on your car, that can clear a nice steady path to your destination. You grip the steering wheel as if your aiming and you hit the imaginary button, you smile for a brief second, when your dream is suddenly disrupted by the genius who thinks his horn is his launch button to his nuclear arsenal located on the back of his hummer.

Ha ha, that makes me laugh, that ginormous monstrosity sitting in the same unmoving path. But in all the commercials for the vehicle the car is unstoppable, no matter the obstacle, I guess they didn’t want to show how much fuel that tank would use up idling until it got a chance to show its fierceness… I laugh yet again, he just keeps wailing on that horn, maybe he thinks its some kind of sonic blaster… sorry guy keep trying… but keep blasting that horn I am having some fun now thinking what types of weapons you think you have on that behemoth.
