Pennies From Peter Vol. 1 - It's A Luck Thing

At the request of one of my dear friends I have decided to start a weekly blog. I’ve thought about doing this for a while but for some reason I just never got around to doing it. I think it’s a good way for me to express myself and for other people to get some more insight into who I am and how I think. I’m gonna call it “Peter’s Pennies” …why? Well I have this weird neurotic thing where if I see a penny on the street I HAVE TO PUT IT IN MY SHOE.

It’s a luck thing.

But it has all these conditions like…it has to be on the street outside. I won’t pick one up if it’s inside. Also, I won’t pick it up if it’s a penny that has fallen out of my own personal change collection. You can’t pick up your own luck. Also if it’s fallen out of my shoe then I won’t pick it up. Once it leaves me it’s for someone else. A gift from the universe…pennies from heaven? Pennies from Peter… OMG!! THAT’S WHAT I SHOULD CALL IT!! fuck “Peter’s Pennies”…my blog is called “Pennies from Peter."

So I just went on this little trip with some friends of mine. I was lucky enough to get a gig performing at this fancy little club in West Hollywood called HERE lounge. Me and my friends had always talked about going on a trip but because we are all fucking lunatics it was hard to actually plan. My show in LA was the perfect reason for us all to get our shit together and go...

I'm ready to go, lead me into the light.

So I just got home from a fabulous trip with my friends Jared, Jordan and Peter. We spent a few nights in Las Vegas and then journeyed (yes, journeyed) over to Los Angeles where Peter performed as part of Ryan Mckillop's launch of his brand new underwear line. The show went down at HERE lounge in Los Angeles and was a total success. Not only were Peter and the boys fabulous but the entire night was so amazing. Not only did we meet James St. James, original club kid from NYC, but a few other star studded faces showed up to support the event. All in all it was a total highlight of the trip. We all created so many memories together and I will be posting pictures of the trip as soon as they are uploaded.

Upon arriving home and the subsequent events of Monday night I realized that no matter how much fun I had on vacation it really is time for a change in my life, I really need to focus on finishing school and getting my life together. Saying this is one thing and acting on it is another but I really do feel like I'm at a crossroad which is a great thing. I'm on the edge of something great, so many options are available to me one I finish school so I really think it's time to decided where I want to take my life, whether I want to continue living in Vancouver or pursuing other ventures elsewhere. Regardless of where I end up, it is this time right here that some of the most important decisions will be made, so right now... I'm looking at my options, and really stepping back to think of what it is that makes me happy and that I am passionate about.
