When ya gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong.

My gosh I thought I was never going to get signed in. I haven’t been on in so long I forgot my username and password. Oops.

I haven’t posted in a while because honestly I haven’t been up to it. There are times in life when it feels like the sky is falling. For me the past 6 weeks were like a long, drawn out, incoherent blur.  A close friend passed away on Oct. 22nd and it wrecked my life for  a while. Things will never be quite the same again. I’ll never forget or give this up, but I can heal now thanks to a plot in my family cemetery, a lot of sanding, a bit of frustrating chiseling, near therapeutic painting, and a dozen roses, 6 red, 6 white. No, I didn’t do something completely weird, I made a cenotaph for my friend. It kept my mind active all week, (no time to dwell on negativity) and the end result gave me something to hold on to. It still hurts but now I have something to remember him by so I wont feel quite as lost and I’ll be able to breathe again.

What else has happened during the past 6 weeks? In no particular order:

• My mom came home after 7 months of being away.
• I dressed as a 1930s gangster for Halloween.
• I found out that I have Fibromyalgia in addition to Multiple Sclerosis.
• I actually started using my twitter account.
• Saw my mom for the first time since she came home.
• Had an ok Thanksgiving with my family. Ate lots of turkey.  Actually I ate until I was dizzy, 3 times.
• Jamin (my roommate) put a new harddrive in my computer, so now I can go to my sites without random reboots.
• Eggnog hit the shelves! Thank god for the holidays.
• I fell down the stairs and fractured my leg.

That’s all I remember it all happened so fast. Life should have a slow mo button.  I’ll write again soon, must get to class now. Cheerio!

Strawberry Icecream Soothes the Soul

There are some things in this world that really irritates me. Actually, there are a lot of things in this world that irritates me, but the one I’m addressing now is the assumption that since I came from a wealthy family I’m a spoiled rich kid, and I don’t know what it’s like to work or make my way in the world. I’ll admit that I was spoiled as a child. My parents gave my siblings and I anything we wanted as long as we left them alone so they could enjoy their vacation. I had a two story bedroom with a 50″ tv before 60% of households had one. The thing people forget is that life changes.

That’s where the assumption comes in. Whenever someone makes an assumption I think of this old Fresh Prince episode where a basketball player makes an assumption and the coach replies

 

“Ah. You made an assumption. Now, you should never make an assumption, because you’ll be an ‘ass’ and the ‘ump’ will ‘shun’ you.”

 

That is so damn true. You can’t judge a book by its cover.  I’ll never say I’ve had the hardest life, but I’ve had my fair share of hardships in the past few years.  Now that I’m an adult I take care of myself. I don’t rely on anyone for anything so it offends me when people assume that I do.

However, it is all too common to assume things. I’m guilty of the same thing sometimes.  The world is self involved and most people hate to lose, so they assume things to argue a point. I wish that, when confronted with the opportunity to make an ass-ump-shun people would take a deep breath, step back, and wonder how valid the statement they’re about to make really is. Things may go a lot more smoothly if the even 50% of the world thought about their actions.  

I’ve said before, if everyone relaxed and ate some strawberry ice cream there would be no war, and possibly no assumptions.

Hello…inhabitants of the universe.

How does one begin a blog? I don’t know. I’ve thought on this for nearly two weeks. Should I introduce myself with a lot of random information or skip it and jump straight into the good stuff? I decided to meet in the middle and write an introduction blog, but instead of telling you about myself I think I will gradually reveal information when the time comes. It stays more interesting that way and maybe it’ll be easier to take everything in that way. Plus that way it’ll probably be more interesting. 

I’ve thought of making a blog a few times in the past but I always think, ” Why would someone want to read about me?” After reading through a few other personal blogs and finding them interesting I decided to give it a try.  A personal blog is as much for the author as the reader anyway.  This will be good practice for my writing skills and a way to vent without terrorizing any cities. 

Oh yes, this will be fun, but for now I shall go sleep for about…half an hour. Great. I hate sunday mornings.  Saturday Night is Anime night on AdultSwim so I never get more than an hour or two of sleep.  Can’t miss Death Note!

Anyway, I’ll see you all soon!
