Blasians Are The New Mini Pig

Gotta love roommates!

We were discussing the newest trends today and being the 20 somethings that we are made the conversation all that much funnier.

We came to these conclusions...

1st-Blasians are the new mini pigs, meaning everyone wants to adopt blasians right now but they are hard to come by and the same with everyone wanting mini pigs. But just like mini pigs you cant just have a Blasian, it doesn't work that way.

2nd-Mick Jagger is the new Elvis. Whether your Maroon 5 or Ke$ha, the fascination with Mick Jagger is growing. If your Ke$ha you want men who look like Mick Jagger and if your Maroon 5 you want to dance like Mick Jagger. The appeal of Mick Jagger is growing to the following that Elvis had in his time. Who knows in 50 years maybe Mick Jagger will have the same following that Evils had?

Wonder what other enlightenment's will come my way?

I'm Borrowing Eeyore's Rain Cloud

Do you ever have that moment, that defining point in time when you feel like nothing is going to change?

Do adults really feel this way every day?

Well let me say it being an adult is not as fun as it turns out to be.

Let me back up....

So, the other day my car (yes my brand new car) decided to blow up. Lamely I worked all summer to buy a a large amount of scrap metal, Lovely huh?

Well any who, the defining moment came when I realized that all the money in the world I had was now gone, and that I couldn't event get hired at McDonald's to make enough money for rent.

So, the dilemma...

I was force to pull together the scraps of my savings to make rent and hitch a ride to school.

On the upside, I had an interview at Macy's today and hopefully, I get the job and wont have to be completely stressed and worried about how I am going to live from month to month from now on.


ANY WHO.

It's Labor Day weekend and I just found out I might be able to see my family this weekend, so that's an upside to my rain cloud of a week. haha

It can only go up from here!

Peace and Love,

The "Group" is back in town having some 21st Birthday FUN!



 

Jungle Rhythm

....or back in the swing if things if you want to be technical. I've been away a while and to be honest didn't have much time for my thoughts and reflections but I'm back and I think it’s about time I got back in the rhythm of life.

However, back in the swing of things does not necessarily mean that things will always be back to what I expected.

Some things have changed in the last few months....

#1 My wallflower tendencies have been overcome by my new residence...and 5 roommates! haha it’s hard to keep to yourself in a house surrounded by a household of women, let alone your best friends.

#2 My new car that I bought the last days of Spring semester was bought and resold in about a week, due to the grinding 3rd gear shaft. Therefore, I spent all summer working to earn money for a new car. I thought I had found the answer to prayers, when I stumbled across a 2000 Saturn SL2 a week before I moved back to San Diego. But then....today...something snapped. I am now waiting for the mechanic to tell me what to do, fingers crossed that it will not leave me too much in debt.

#3 My new town of Rancho San Diego, a place I thought I could make start for my adult life, is now being shared by my younger brother.

As you can see these changes in my life have slowed my "jungle rhythm." And as hard as it is to stay positive when facing obstacles, hopefully something will work out.

But I’m not going to lie sometimes it makes me feel better to kick and scream and cry.

Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow!...blahh!

Little Time to Rest

It has now been some time since I last posted and this is not due to a sudden lack of interest, however but due to an large increase in the amount of work I have taken on.

Currently, as I have previously stated I'm sure a hundred times; I am working on my internship. To complete the class I was told to complete a total of 100 hours. Well those hundred hours have come and gone. Now pushing 200+ hours I see that my influence in the organization is growing, as well as my level of responsibility, credibility, influence, and opportunity.

I should have been done with this little section of work in about a month, but I find my self here over two months later still working at the task at hand.

SO....

you can see why I have been so busy....I have has little time to rest let alone blog. Which makes me sad. I love to be able to speak my unspeakable thoughts onto the words on the page. Its a feeling I have grown to appreciate, like a detox for a person with an addiction. I find myself feeling cleansed and refocused at the end of each blog post.

So what do I see myself doing about my busy schedule and lack of rest?

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING...at least for now.

I will blog when I can but currently as I sit in the build site production office on the site of the biggest events of the year I doubt I will find much more "me" time, and time for my reflections.

But Saturday when my crazy week ends and I travel home for Father's day I will blog about the adventure that has been my journey with Habitat for Humanity and the impact it has made in my life.

So until Saturday....sleep well and appreciate the rest you can get!

Peace and Love,

A Day To Myself

Well lets just say it was not what I was expecting.  I though...oh Downtown Disney sounds fun ill go use my free Jamba Juice card and walk around, it will be a free afternoon of fun and relaxation.

Sadly to say an outing at Disney alone makes a person feel more lonely than before.  Couples holding hands, kids laughing and playing in the fountain, shops to expensive to afford. This beautiful combination has proved to be kind of a rain cloud of a situation.

My original idea to avoid being asked the question..."what are you doing today...or....are you going out tonight?". Well so...I went out and right now I would have rather stayed in.

Oh well on the upside its beautiful outside,  I'm wearing my new dress, and my Jamba Juice (aloha pineapple) tastes amazing!

I maybe be independent but that doesn't make me immune to needing company. I never thought id actually miss San Diego and school so much. I can wait to be back at my new apartment with my new roommates!

Until then ill work on planning less lonely outings for myself....blah...haha.

Peace and Love,

Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Baseball,
          the American Past time right?

Well today I spent my "official" start of summer at an Angels game.

A suspicious event for a true blue Dodger fan, however it was truly an epic summer day event.

The forecast lied to me...leaving me sweating to death in a flannel, boots, and jeans. Yet the heat pressed against my skin like a fat man in a sauna. The body warmth of the 40,950 fans presses on a persons body with a great deal of force.

Any way the upside is that I LOVE BASEBALL! so regardless of the temperature and a set of bipolar clouds I was happy to be there.


I have to admit the company wasn't half bad either. Finding company in a city you know knowing can be a difficult take, however I was thankful to be blessed with the opportunity to be invited to the game but a friend from work. He in fact is not my friend....a funny and strange occurrence after only one afternoon together, but the laughs and honest good company was relevant by our afternoon together.

So the game....

Not the most exciting game I have ever seen in my life, the Angels vs. Brave, my company Chris was rooting for the Braves...and I of course support the home team. The most exciting play of the game was a home run Tory Hunter and a nice split catch on first by the Braves first base man.

The evening after the game proved to be much more exciting than the actual game itself.

A time spent with friends, eating hearty food and watching classic movies (AKA the Pirates of the Caribbean).

Man I love the life I live sometimes. Yay for people in it who constantly aim to serve me and make me happy.


PS I HAVE THE WORLDS BEST UNCLE!!! HE CLEANED OUT HIS WALK IN CLOSET AND GAVE IT TO ME SO I WOULD BE MORE COMFORTABLE! LOVE IT!!!!

Peace and Love,

This Gal Likes Her Power Tools

The best part of my internship is the hands on work I get o physically do on the build site.

Today I'm working a build in Linwood ....which if you don't recognize the name it a city in Compton. 

So upon my arrival this morning at 7:30 am. I was a bit nervous as to what my obligations would actually be.

I am always pleasantly surprised when I work with Habitat though.  The site is buzzing with volunteers.  The sound of Gwen Stephani plays along side the sound of nails being pounded in to wood framing.

My job for the date assigns me the position of assisting the VP of EMC but I can't help but climb up into the rafters and hammer and drill in my fair share of metal, before I climb back down ans seek refuge in the shade.

It's going to be a great day...and I couldn't think if a better way to spend my "last day" on this earth (haha my laughable mention at the bogus that is the May 21st mumbo jumbo).

Goodbye till tomorrow friends...the forecast looks sunny with 0% chance of the end of the world.

Peace and Love,
