I Can Explain!

This post won't be incredibly long. I haven't been able to talk to you guys solely because in the time between my last post and now, I had a surprise birthday party. This was a complete shock, in that I will explain much of at a later date. In the event of being taken off guard and rendered gullible by 10 of my closest friends, I left my all important laptop in my grandparents' car. I have been driving myself crazy without being able to post and sort through my clouded mind. Also, my internet is currently broken. So I feel like a caveman of sorts.

Where's the Pause Button?

Have you ever watched an old VCR tape? I love the way you can fast forward through the entire section of dragging commercials with the simple push of a button. In only seconds, every commercial before the movie can be over in seconds. I think about this classic way to watch movies and the powerful fast forward button, I think about the way life is much the same. With my birthday fast approaching once again, it feels like someone has pressed the fast forward button on my life.

Find the Diamond in the Rough

            I brought the New Year in last night with my family and friends. I sat awake last night awaiting the moment that midnight would strike, leading us into the brand new beginning. Once midnight struck and the New Year was escorted in by fireworks and screams and kisses, I felt nothing but tired. After the excitement of 2011 ran dry, the fireworks died out, and the cold wind forced me inside, I just wanted to sleep. The only question I seemed to ask myself as I lay in my cousin’s bed preparing for the first dream of the New Year was this:

New Year's Realizations

            Bringing in the New Year has such a nice feeling to it, doesn't it? Knowing that you have a whole new slate to start on can be refreshing. You finally have a chance, after 365 days, to renew yourself and have a new beginning. Whether sitting on a couch watching the “Big Ball” in New York City drop or partying your heart out, making it to a new year is an extremely exciting thing. It’s a sign to let go of the past year’s issues and drama, and start a positive new chapter, appropriately named 2011.

I Love You Like Mice Love Cheese

As the year draws to a close, my birthday draws near. The upcoming of these two events are extremely close, and although I feel like I’ve definitely been a mental and emotional slump over the past few days; I definitely feel uplifted. Sometimes I get a small case of pessimism, but after a little inspiration from the most inspirational woman I know, everything’s better. We all have those figures in our life that are our world. That person is your night light, and always has been. When times are unbelievably dark, that one person can just light it up with the wattage of their smile. They are your superhero.

The Best I Can Come Up With

                        Writer’s Block. This feeling is the root of all evil for one trying to take advantage of the moment when they have the most opportunity. It is the most awful feeling in the world to force a thought through your head, and as you get halfway through the process the worst possible thing happens: it gets lost. The thought that you have almost formed into a complete idea for a decent blog vanishes into thin air and you not only forget which direction your train of thought was going, but you can’t remember how you got there.
