After watching Ryan Adams play on the Live on Letterman webcast, I am seriously doubting my ability to keep my composure at tomorrow night’s show considering I can’t even do it now.

Like many people, I save all my ticket stubs to supplement my memories. I had completely forgotten about this event until I pulled the ticket out of my desk, and it’s because I never actually attended. Why would I miss my absolute favorite musician? Because 09/25/2009 was the second day of work at my first real job, and I couldn’t leave the office in time to catch the talk. There’s no way work will stop me from missing the show next month though. I’d quit before I’d let that happen. (Kidding… Or am I?)

Whatever it is, you know you
Think you want
Here’s a little something to light the way
Inside your heart
Where the darkness staysI believe the sun still rises here
But when it falls
I’m not sure what there is to say
It flickers in the night
Like a memory…
Whatever it is you wanted
I think you got
But take a little something to light the way
Inside your mind
When the weather is greyI believe that the sun still rises here
But when it falls
There is something to be said
For the calm at night
When the stars above
Are so cold and so bright— “Rocks”, Ashes & Fire, Ryan Adams -

Officially released today. This album is exactly what I needed at this point in my life, and it’s great to hear Ryan Adams going back to acoustic solo work. It’s interesting to know his history because you can hear everything in his music. Go buy it, or at the very least, listen to it. So, so, so excited to see him again in December.

If the lights draw you in
and the dark can take you down,
then love can mend your heart
but only if you’re lucky now.— “Lucky Now”, Ashes & Fire, Ryan Adams -
Rarely do I participate in 9/11 remembrances, but today, I feel the need to do so in a different way.
Almost every time I get together with someone from my hometown, they ask me how I feel about living in NYC and why I love it so much. I tell them the usual things. It’s busy and fast-paced, and it has everything you could want if you just take the train, and there’s always something to do, something to see, people to be with. Most of my closest friends are here, and it’s everything my hometown isn’t. What I don’t tell them, since I don’t like getting into it, is that NYC is the first place I’ve felt comfortable with myself and my life. I’ve learned to fend for myself and cope with just barely making enough money to stay here for fear of moving back in with my parents. There’s a balance of loving the company of others and still keeping time for myself all while staying busy that I don’t know I could’ve gotten elsewhere. Maybe it’s not NYC itself that did this and maybe I’ll feel this way about another place someday, but I can’t disassociate it from my growing into semi-adulthood.
That said, I do have to say this about 9/11 itself in my own personal way. As much as I hate the stupid mistakes my brother has made over the years, I’m incredibly happy he slept through his alarm clock that morning and didn’t make it to work. He may not be living up to his full potential, but at least he’s not gone. I sympathize with every single person who was not as lucky. And, really, if it weren’t for him, I’m not positive I would’ve moved here and found my home.
I’ll always love you, love New York.

I honestly don’t know if this is my birthday gift to myself or the trip to Orlando. Either way, I’m a happy camper.
