So it’s that time again… here’s another round of questions that the lovely Jaimie Rae answered for me that I would love to share with the world. Get to know her a little better….she’s well worth it.

 6. Rainy days or snowy winter days?

Both.  I’ll take either for a 7-12 day max.  not big into winter but down with a cabin in the mountains, fireplace crackling with a blizzard outside….rainy days spent listening to incredible music with the windows open…don’t hate either of those and can’t choose just one

7. If on death row, what would your last meal be?

Caprese.  I have shared so many wonderful moments with so many outstanding people in my life eating caprese salad… 

8 If you could strengthen one relationship in your life, which would it be?

Wow. A bit deep don’t’cha think? In all honesty I can’t think of anyone in particular. About 95% of me feels if the relationship isn’t there naturally, there is a deeper more spiritual reason it’s not. People are in your life for a reason…you don’t always get to choose what that reason is.  If it was strong and it fades…its time to move on.  Live and let live. My other 5% recognizes there are some people worth fighting for…

 9.How do you tell the difference between lust and love?

Wow…ummm…the difference between lust and love…

Ok…completely honest. I don’t know that you can really tell the difference between lust and love until one of two things happen: #1: the end of the relationship.  After the smoke has cleared and you realize you can pick up the pieces and move the fuck on without a second glance back…you weren’t in love…that my darling, was lust.  It’s powerful isn’t it??  #2: you’ve been with someone for decades. You would give your life for them, you would let them walk away from you if you thought it would make them happy. you do all the same things you did when you were in lust except it’s LOVE. You realize at some point the lust turned into pure unconditional selfless love.  I think lust is a more gripping emotion than love by far.  It ignites passion, emotions, sex, fights, laughter, glances, touches, words…it makes you loose your effing mind.  Lust is an amazing feeling…personally I don’t think you can have love without lust. Ahh to be in lust….

 10. What is your “pick me up” song of all time? The one that can get you through anything.

I can’t think of just one song.  What I listen to and how it affects me is totally dependant on where I am in life. Bright eyes, Damine Rice, KOL, NIN, The New Familiars, Modest Mouse, Mickey Avalon, The Black Keys, George Strait.. all have been a soundtrack to my life at some point or another.

11. If you could do anything in the entire world without any chance of failure what would you do?

Exactly what I’m doing. I’ve never been scared of failure. In a sense , I’m almost naïve about taking chances.  I never think twice about things, I just do them.  There’s nothing I wouldn’t do because of fear of failure, its all part of life and living.  Without failure there is no room to grow…failure is a part of who we are, it builds our character, teaches us lessons and allows us to recognize bluer skies when we’re standing under them…
