Sure Looks Good to Me (too)


Life is cheap, bittersweet

But it taste good to me

Take my turn, crash and burn
That's how it's supposed to be

So don’t rain on my parade
Life’s too short to waste one day

I’m gonna risk it all, the freedom to fall
Yes it sure looks good to me

Time passed by and leaves you behind
Take it naturally

Heaven knows - There’s so much more
More than what we see

So don’t rain on my parade
Life’s too short to waste one day

I’m gonna risk it all, the freedom to fall
Yes it sure looks good to me


Deep in my mind Im secure we can find
I wanna see the light before I die or I lie in an empty space,

The darkness comes and I’ve been telling my soul
And me and myself we turn around, we’re getting old,

But the lightning crashing, foolish emotions
From the bruises and the beauty in this moment that we’re feeling,

And I feel like I’m seeing the world inside of me
But I can tell you that I know, it's getting easier to breathe,

There’s a cold in the morning, endless equation
Of who’ve we've become, it’s a complex situation

So live, love, life give love
Live, love, life, give love
Live, love, life, give love
It's who are we anyway

So don’t rain on my parade
Life’s too short to waste one day

I’m gonna risk it all, the freedom to fall
Yes it sure looks good to me
- A. Keys

Now listen to me sing along while watching her live... I don't care how dumb I sounded... I just had to get it out... hahahaha Enjoy!

Dance in the Rain

Delicious Eats and Delicious Beats on a Kick Ass boat with a Kick Ass view and a whole lotta Booze = Delicious, Kick Ass Goodness with a Twist!

Funny how I now live INLAND for the first time in my entire life - meaning, nowhere near the ocean... and NOW I begin to experience ultimate boating and cruise ship fun.
Ok fun is an understatement. I had a BLAST yesterday.
Yes, it may be a fresh water lake but it's so big that i'll be damned if it don't feel just as calming and soothing as the ocean. The only difference - it's toooo cold to even conceive of dipping your toes (trust me, I tried... and will never make that mistake twice).

So I was invited to a party cruise on the Empress of Canada boat for 5 hours of party party party and in the end, everything about that trip exceeded my expectations. I'm already signed up for the next one, and can't wait. During the trip, it rained for about 1.5 of the 5 hours. Did that stop us from partying? Hellz no. This boat thought of it all. As soon as the clouds rolled in, plastic was being wrapped around the enormous sound system. A drop here and a drop there, people began to make their way below or under shelter...what did I do? Call it motivation by an extremely cute young lady...she kept dancing...I kept dancing (hahah Makayla you are so much fun!).

Have you ever danced in the rain? I mean, REALLY danced?
If you have, then you know how amazing of a feeling it is... so fresh, so free, so exposed.
If you haven't...TRY IT... go on, LIVE a little.
If you get cold it's only cause you aren't dancing hard enough to warm up your body. hahaha

Anyway, back to the boat. If you really didn't want to get wet, not to worry...2 floors below provided intense house and trance music, each floor with it's own DJ, that made you forget about any problems in the world, let alone a little water falling from the sky.

No Strings Attached

I love this. Just for having a Google account I can blog for free?
Why didn't I know this sooner?

Some of you may or may not know me from an old site www.jenny.portodiao.com. I blogged as a foreigner living and loving Panama. Well I'm still loving Panama but since I'm no longer living there I decided it was time to move on. My days with PortoDiao are over but my days with 980 are just beginning. For reference, 980 refers to a company that I am setting up and running here in Toronto, Ontario Canada. I've never lived in Toronto before but I can sure see myself growing to love this place too.

Sticking around with the portodiao.com group had implications of strings that I am have decided to cut loose. It's a new day and a new chapter so here goes nothing!
