Just last week while talking to myself in my daily installment of throwing on some of my
favorite products I was faced with the thought of my first ever high school reunion. After recently seeing some blog posts about it (as well as hearing from a friend), I was thinking about what mine would be like. And ultimately, would I go? Chances are probably because I'm sort of nosey sometimes. But then I was like
hold the iphone [as I scroll through my newsfeed]. Now a days...so like....5+ years from now
will reunions even be relevant? Think about it. Back in the days of smoking cigarettes during their school lunch break and actually having to converse face to face (and pass notes) during class.
GASP. They looked forward to receiving the good ole
snailmail and happily (or angrily) count down the days on their pretty little trippy looking calendar and
not on their palm pilot (good ole days), ipad, or cellie. Really, I don't need to attend my high school reunion (Ok maybe I will but I'll worry about it when it comes around the corner. scared face emoji riiiight here). I got all of them in the palm of my hand (read: iPhone)
but chances are we really aren't facebook friends.
With facebook, I've been able to follow a
sweet friend of mine since high school (the very beginning)! Once we met, I think we both instantly clicked but truthfully I can't even remember what. I can always remember having the greatest of laughs with this lady.
Who dat who dat you (or I G G Y) might ask?
Alyssa Joseph a'course! Not only am I here to bring you an
exclusive (keep on reading) but I want to share with you the honest truth about this lady. Hands down, throughout my years of knowing her she always had the kindest heart and
instantly knows how to crack a smile even on the days the sun don't shine. When hanging out, I
more times than not had the opportunity to hear her sing her sweet tunes. Besides the fact she covered songs that already had a near and dear spot [on the left side of my heart, if you're curious], her voice always made me feel like I was floating on a cloud. In musician heaven.
What inspires this Nashville bound lady? Rain. Candles. The way the sunlight comes through the leaves.
"I write about my surroundings, recent life experiences, and emotions. Watching other musicians perform also sparks creativity in me."
"If you love SIA, Ingrid Michaelson, and Adrien Reju, Alyssa Joseph is the homegirl on the rise"
-Said by yours truly
Was more than tempted to post a picture of us from freshman year of high school but for the sake of your computer screen, I think it's best we refrain. Homegirl [me] had not yet discovered eyebrow waxing. Five points for Rachel. Congrats, good job.
If you made it through my jibber jabber then boy do I have a treat for you. Here's a cookie. I mean THE PLACE TO LISTEN TO ALYSSA'S NEW SINGLE. The place to listen to it actually. All the cool kids[/musicians] are doing it.
Oh my goodness! Fabulous you love her too? Don't forget to show her some love on social media where she posts all her upcoming news [+ local shows (If you're in tristate area)]:
And don't forget to hit up your X year high school reunion. Or not. Because thats what for late insomniac nights when you find yourself on your ex best friends boyfriends sisters cousins instagram. Or something of that sort. Social media, FTW.
This song is catchy! I like it!
