Old Potato Road.

i created a simple blog to keep track of the odd happenings in this unconventional life of mine. Old Potato Road is my favorite road in between Austin and my hometown of Bryan, Texas. at a point in my life when i was figuring out what the hell i was going to do and who the hell i wanted to be i'd pass Old Potato Road and laugh out loud. it reminds me to honor and seek those simple moments that give breath to our crazy lives.

even today, when i drive by after my mom, dad or courtney has graciously scooped me up from the austin airport i anticipate passing Old Potato Road. it reminds me of finding joy in the simple moments of our lives. the sort of simple joy that creates reprieve from the dust of everyday life we sometimes can't shake.

i offer no wisdom. just sharing my life. things that make me laugh. things that make me cry. things that make me, well, me.

BIG BOI ATLANTA.

So I missed my post yesterday, BUT I’ll still make sure I have 30 posts in 30 days.  If you’re wondering why I so flippantly disregarded my diligent blogging it’d be because yesterday I threw a party for Big Boi (of Outkast for some of you) in his home town of Atlanta.  I love Atlanta.  I really do.  However, throwing a party for a local icon in their own home market is a bit of a, well, I’ll call it treat.

Green Lantern was DJing and killed it on the turntables.  Big Boi ended up getting on stage with Pill and Killer Mike for the last two songs (Kryptonite) with Swift and some of the other crew as well on stage.  The part in Kryptonite when it shouts out being from the A, well at that part you would have thought I was from The A due to my leverage in which I was bouncing and taking pride in my “city”.  Then Big took the mic and sang “Mrs. Jackson” on his own in the VIP area for another song.

My night ended at Big Boi’s studio, Stankonia, hanging around with everyone and listening to Killer Mike spit lyrics as he’d get passionate at this or that topic.  I hope if you’re reading this, you know me well enough to know that I stand in awe of moments like this.  My job augments this adventure of my life and I am grateful to build my story through experiences like last night.
