things that inspire me

things that inspire me about mikie:

1. he takes the most beautiful photographs
2. his enthusiasm and passion for performing, esp. when around jamie v.c.
3. his boundless energy
4. he is a renaissance man; i.e. he can fix a bike, draw a rad picture of a foolish dragon, make up a song with or without lyrics, wax philosophical, cook up some tofu wild rice dish and write a sonnet all at the same time.
5. he is incredibly both introspective and extroverted at once.
6. in recent times he has gotten really really good with kids.
7. as i said last night, he can be a little bit "hard ass" when needed, like making sure people pay the cover for the show.
8. he can always figure out how to get in free to the movies.
9. zest for life
10. i know that he has an unbearably sweet heart.


i just wanted to publicly announce these things i've been thinking about this evening. we all have our moments of confrontation but i am highly aware of the gift of mikie tonight.

there are many other things i could post and write tonight about the show last night and about the lovestorm of placerville lately and the new years festivities. but for now i am very very tired so i will leave you with this clip that depicts my inspiration listed above.

Heather,
thank you for this incredible post. and for making me cry at 1:30 in the morning. seriously, it meant more than you might think. now to remind us who we really are, you should go look at what i added to the New Years Resolves post.. it's in addition to the video you put on here.

Heather, I agree with all that you wrote about Mikie. I love him so much and I've been crying all morning about him.
