2 more days pure bliss comes with that thought…. FREEDOM!

i currently need to be studying for my french && philosophy finals tomorrow…i’ll get to that though…had to take a break && throw a vegetable steamer in the microwave to eat while drink my pomegranate green tea [ha no; i'm not vegan....just tryin' to eat healthier]

i must say it was quite exhilirating to finish trig today [horribly boring class] && then go sell 3 books && get $136 for them [cash was runnin a lil low...] again…freedom!

the freezing cold wetness wasn’t that great [along with the fact that everywhere else BUT here got snow!]; however, i wore my super cool rainboots && got to walk where no one else did…happy happy joy joy you should get some ha; they come in quite handy

i’m going to see a movie this weekend-which one? good Q. my guy friend i’m going with gave me 3 choices that interested him, none of which interested me: the new james bond [seen it; ugh]. the transporter [supposedly ok but pointless]. && the punisher [from what i hear; horribly bloody. gory. violent=geez] so…should i still stick to my plan of being selfless && going to what makes him happy? or should i be selfish && make him go to a movie i like but he wouldn’t have fun at? i’m sure there is compromise…ha the middle path between the 2 extremes as the Buddha puts it [meaning philosophy is calling...]

btw; once school is done with, i get to read alot. && whatever i want

to be a child again-
when everywhere was a playground
and everything a toy.

when your biggest worry
was missing cartoons
and the monster under your bed
your biggest fear.

when you went to church
and everyone was perfect
and Jesus was a cartoon
in your Sunday school lesson.

if only I was a child
when boys were icky
and the only thing they broke
was your Barbie doll.

how things have changed…

i miss those days. there were no research papers. no scholarships or applications. no meetings or practices. everyone seemed nice && fun. your world consisted of play. no bills. no relationship issues. no GPA’s. no “religion.” no responsibilities; demands; requirements; deadlines. the biggest trouble i might get in would be sneaking extra cookies at snack time. now…consequences can affect the rest of your life. the world no longer seems to be a place of wonder && delight, but a vacuum that sucks the life right out of you. [ha i have to apologize for my cynicism today; i'm an artist && child at heart...today's just not my day]

welcome to the real world.

well; really just the front steps…

doesn’t help that i’m somewhat of an overachiever too…tsk tsk…

so, i just suck it up && move on. be a big girl about it. can’t run to daddy with my scraped knee; just scrounge up a band-aid and keep running. the pain will go away eventually. agree?

here’s to the good ole days…of tree houses, mud pies, cowboys, play house, patty cake, and so many other simple child-loves…

so. let’s give this a shot people.

amongst all of the other things i write comes a blog…the topic of which i don’t know yet…we’re getting there.

due to the amount of formal papers i’m required to write, my blogs will not resemble an essay

my blog=thoughts [but thoughts in some sort of order]

biggest deal on everyone’s minds is our new president. the recent election. our messed up economy. issues issues issues….well, one man, no matter who it is, can fix this nation or come even close. props to everyone that went and voted. record high. it was my first time; i felt special ha. i don’t even know where to begin with our economy [who does??] yes; history has been made. but blessings aren’t going to rain down from heaven, nor is the earth going to crash down around us by this one man entering our white house. i am not particular to politics or government so you won’t get much from me on the matter…

if you haven’t taken philosophy, do it. it is highly intriguing. sometimes mind boggling.

pay attention to nature. it’s absolutely gorgeous. right now, when the sun shines through the fall leaves, it blazes like fire. the trees are losing their summer cloaks. it’s time to die. i hate winter for that reason. but i realized that everything must die to live. a seed is planted in the ground and dies > out comes life a little while later…each season is unique and necessary. just like in our lives…don’t forget that.

&& right now i must admit: for a writer; i’m tired of writing. so:

au revoir
