Life is Good

Things feel good today...I'm excited about moving into my new place, I'm feeling like I'm learning (constantly), my job can only go up (hahahah), my friends rock, life...rocks!
There was a slight attempt at roommate drama from S. the roommate who hasn't moved in yet, but it all worked out and things are calm. I'm all about calm these days. I don't need the drama and neither do you!
Speaking of hilarious drama, I went on a date with John and...he's DRAMA. I'm just glad to say that I can now identify such drama and walk away...or at least take a slow stroll in the opposite direction...hahaha!

A Sign or what?

I had to laugh today when I woke up and got online. There was this thing on my Facebook that said "Not the Brad you're looking for? Keep searching here..." I had to laught...how could I not!?! After all I made the decision on Thursday that Brad wasn't the one I was looking for...hahaha...fate speaks...go figure...

Growing Pains

First, before I write...let me start by telilng you that the cosmos played a funny joke on me today. I was riding my bike towards campus to go to rafting prep school and ... no joke...one arm of my sunglasses jumped off my head and leapt into a bush. NO JOKE!! The arm was gone and I couldn't find it...so...in a bind...I had to buy sunglasses at the bookstore and they cost me $16. What a rip off!

______
About growth: I'm growing. Today I was able to identify a problem in my life and clearly see it and understand it. I'm not sure how to address this "issue" but that's just another step in the path of life. I'm just so proud that I've made it this far and that I truly get the concept, how it affects me, what my errors are, what the other person's errors are and knowing that I can move forward and learn from this encounter. YEAH FOR LEARNING!

Our Youth

My nephew is five and apparently a bully. No joke! Monday he got in trouble and got a citation on the school bus for hitting another little boy. Apparently he asked the kid if he wanted to fight and when the kid said no, he started hitting him.
Today, he got in BIG trouble! They actually kicked him off the school bus for 1 year!!! No JOKE! He's only five. Apparently today he decided it would be fun to start beating up a kid with the seat belt. My first reaction was "since when do school buses have seat belts?"

Life's Little Laughs

I have to laugh, the more I exercise the more back acne I've started to get...hahaha! Are you ready for the stuff you totally don't wanna read?
Okay, so I think it's from the sweat, what do you say? I looked up back acne and they gave these horrible pictures that made me cringe...that's not what I have! I guess I'm lucky and should just be grateful with the backne that I have. Hahahaha!

Co-ing

I have the funniest co-workers in the world!!! Today some of the great quotes were "she'd talk to a whole in the wall" and "I once knew a guy named Dick Holder."
They are such a joy to spend eight hours with, I feel luck!

I HATE Dating

I hate dating. I hate everything about it. Every new person who comes into your life you have to start all over again. You have to start at the beginning and take it slow, you have to figure out if they are even worthy of friendship and then what? Grrr...I've decided maybe I should be single. I mean, after all...is it really worth it?
I've been getting frustrated with this guy that I've been actively pursuing who seems...on the fence I guess. I mean he returns my calls and seems to be a little interested but when it comes right down to it, he also seems to have no interest. He's got me 110% confused and that is not a place I like to be. So what do I do? I turn to Brandon, my resting place of course.
Although I think he may have a girlfriend again. I mean last night when I was over at his house, I needed to shower as I just got back from the gym. So I hopped in there an there's a pink razor and I notice two toothbrushes. WTF? I didn't ask, I guess I really don't wanna know. If I don't know, does that still make me a bad person?
Then of course Turi, Turi asked me to go a blind double date with her...I passed. I just can't date any more right now. I need a LONG break from it all!

Biking

My roomie and I biked down towards town...and almost died...on a few occassions. First there was this really thin ledge we had to bike on, that was scary. Second, cars seem to find it fun to drive in the bike lane...I think that's JACKED UP! Lastly, I have a tendency to fall easily so me and anything in the road becomes a problem...hehehe...

Blowing on the Bike Trail

I was out tonight with a friend, walking our dogs on the bike trail. We found that a random selection of individuals were out as well...not groups...just singles walking with no real intent or purpose.
My friend is now convinced that for single people at night, if you have no date and need to get a blow job - you go to the bike trail. No, we didn't see this occuring...but I suppose it's a posibility. I mean, after all, what were these people doing out on the bike trail at 10pm. It's dark, it's scary and it's not a place for a single man or woman!

My Boat

I bought a boat...did I mention that? I spent most of the day putting together everything I'll need in order to take it on the water. I'm totally ready to go! Now I just have to truck my behind out to the water and away I go...
but before that...climbing and before that...a nap!

Roommate

My new roommate arrived today on the grey hound. She's nice. She seems to be a slight mix between Alena and my sister-in-law Julie. Her name is Diana and she has an eyebrow piercing and a tongue piercing. She's from Connecticut.
Chewy is warming up to her...but he's been nervous most of the day.
My new job is going good. I'm staying SUPER busy. I've gotten to go out climbing nearly every day this week and I plan to go again tomorrow and Sunday! Yippee!

Working it Good

I'm working like a demon...can you believe that? Until I get this database under control I have a feeling that my dream of working just a few minimal hours is just that...a dream. I got to get this wild thing under control!!

On different note...I'm reading a new book and I'm totally in love with the author, Deepak Chopra. I'll be posting quotes over the next few days with some short thoughts...as we all know I love to do!

From Deepak Chopra's Book of Secrets:
"you are part of every event that is happening now, has ever happened, or ever will happen."
This is a radical and yet true thought. You are here because of everything that's ever happened in the past and you will influence everything in the future. It's an extreme thought of the butterfly effect.

"Your purpose in life is to help creation to expand and grow."
I agree with this...and I'm not talking about procreation. I'm a firm believer that my purpose on this planet is to make a difference, to make some little thing better and by that, make change for the future.

"If someone asked me how to prove that there is really a mystery of life, the simplest proof would be just this enormous separation between deep reality and everyday existence."
True, true...

"Ever since you and I were born, we've had a constant stream of clues hinting at another world inside ourselves."
To me, this is how I feel God. I don't understand being able to acknowledge this inner stream and think that it is anything other than God.

Nature

There is so much serenity in nature and I'm loving the chance I have to get out there and enjoy it. This morning I got up and went for a good long bike ride. It was great weather and the group was nice. I'm sore now, apparently I should have worn the padded pants but I didn't...oy vey.
I'm proud to announce that I finished my Shakespeare essay!!! YIPPEE!! That just means I have one more revision on my Senior Seminar Paper, need to complete my essay for Women's Writers (it's almost done, just needs a bit of touching up), and need to write a full essay for Multicultural Class (that one is started but needs a good few more pages). I'm making good head way. After those few essays I'll actually be finished...I can't wait. It sure feels good to think of myself as a college graduate.

Whatev...

I was gonna post about this great person in my life...but now I'm bitter and angry and not interested in writing about them...people disappoint...
On a different note...I have a ton of homework I really need to get done. I'm not feeling motivated and my muse is no where to be found. I'm frustrated by the whole writing process and need to just sit down and DO IT. Maybe tomorrow....

Tired

Considering all the great changes I've made so that I can have more time in nature and enjoy life...I'm sure exhausted! Hahahaha! I just got home for the day and I'm tired. My body is sleepy and just wants to be a veggie...yet I have homework to still finish up and stuff I really need to get done. I suppose it will wait til tomorrow, I have to go into the office for three hours tomorrow and then I'm gonna have time to get my stuff in line.
