Jamie...finally


I fell deeply in lust with my daughter's father making out one night to Jamie Cullum's Twentysomething. At the time I did confuse it with love but I knew I was no longer in love or lust when we actually saw him live at the Hollywood Bowl years later. The lack of trust and disrespect had already rooted itself so intensely that it had broken our foundation. There was nothing left to repair. The morning after the cocktails, moonlight and bad sex (of course there was sex, isn't there always at the end) I was sad thinking that every time I would hear that album I would think of such a ridiculously failed, flawed and unneeded relationship that it was... except for our girl.

You're sitting there reading this thinking this is all about the baby daddy but it's not.

Simply put, I want to fall in love again. I received an email with the latest Cullum album about to "drop" The Pursuit. I took a listen to it and it reminded me of that second album of his that brought me such pleasure one night. I hope it's as good; wasn't a big fan of the last one. Don't get me wrong it was good for the direction he was taking but too big, too over produced. This one has that analog tape mix sound like Twenty did. And the first video looks like a take on a Wes Andersen flick. Some of my favorite movies.

I feel like Jamie is finally back to basics and maybe I am too...finally.

That is all, now go back to surfing the net while at work!
