I went back to Colorado this last Thursday for a long weekend. I went back for the Bao Bao Fest, but really it was only an excuse to go back. I was getting sick of the cold weather here in NY and I wanted to bask in the warm sun in Colorado. Oh I miss warm weather. Although it was a lot of fun, there was not much relaxation going on. I listened to a bunch of great music, danced a lot, and hanging out with friends and family. If I wasn’t with the Bao Bao folks I was catching up with friends, old and new. It’s always a good time when I get to hang out with those guys(the guys from the festival). You never know what is going to happen next….they just put me in a good mood. Well that is until they make me late getting to the airport. I knew it was going to happen but I thought this time will be different. NO!!!! For some reason Adjei decided to drive some people back to Ft. Collins at 1pm. my flight was at 5:30. I figured as long as he gets back by 3pm we would be fine. That was not the case. He didn’t get back till 4pm and we hit construction on the way as well. He sped. I yelled. We got to the airport at 4:45 pm. I ran. Checked in. Got through Security. Ran some more and got to my gate just in time. Luckily my flight was delayed by 10 min. Stress of traveling. Ha

I think I miss Colorado more than I thought. I miss the mountains and going hikes. I did squeeze one in before I left. I just love having the mountains right out my back door. Don’t get me wrong I love NY too, but I think Colorado is outweighing the City……as of now…..

I had a conversation with one friend when I was back about music. Why does all new music suck….well maybe not all but I fell like music today doesnt have that oomph that it used to. It all sounds the same. I catch myself only listening to music prior to the 80’s. It’s so much better. There is a element that is missing from today’s music. Are they less complex? I don’t know……..the melodies are really simple, they are not as full sounding……..anyway….this not a very well thought out rant. When I figure it out I will write more.
