sometimes...

the absolute hardest thing to do is truly believe...

everything happens for a reason.

so. this is me trying.

new obsession.

this past week has been a week of lot's of new music for me.

eminem. (amaazing new album)

jack johnson.

and this freakin cover of "addicted to love" by Florence & The Machine.

it's perfect.

you're welcome.

insomnia blogging.

i think it's time for another about me blog.

i feel fragmented...once again.

so here goes nothing...

-i love wearing red lipstick. and no. i don't care if guys like it. or don't like it. i love it. makes me feel powerful.

-i had never seen a 2 dollar bill before until recently and now I have 2 lucky 2 dollar bills from two of the greatest people i know. i will never use them. that's why they're lucky. duh.

-i wish i was funny enough to do stand-up comedy. those people are incredibly brave.

-my family are some of the coolest people you'll ever hang out with.

-i'm a sucker for blue eyes. sometimes i make an exception. but blue eyes will almost always do it for me.

-kissing is one of my favorite things to do. ever.

-i can't own enough dresses. or sunglasses.

-i'm an obsessive "journaler"(which you wouldn't think considering i blog so randomly).

-i wish i could share minnesota with all the people i love in california because i truly feel it's such a huge part of who i am today. plus it's gorgeous almost all year round.

-my greatest challenge in life is patience. 

-i refuse to blog about really personal things on the internet, it's what my journal is for.  it works for some people, for me, it's pointless. why indirectly talk about something to "someone" when you can use the real world and do it face to face?

-that's another thing. i prefer face to face over ANYTHING else. i can text with the best of them, but i'll give up all day texting for an hour of face time. i'll promise you that.

-i believe that absence can totally make the heart grow fonder, but it still sucks.

-toy story 3 completed my childhood.

-i need desperately to cure my habit of staying up so late, this can truly do no good in my future. 

-a nice margarita with some chips and salsa on a summer day=perfection.

THAT

-or a couple beers at a bar with a good friend. always does the trick.

goodnight?

yeah.

stolen new favorite quote...

confession.

totally stole this from a good friend's facebook.

but it's amazing.

don't know how i missed it on his page before...

"The supreme prayer of my heart is not to be learned, rich, famous, powerful, or "good", but simply to be radiant.  I desire to radiate health, cheerfulness, calm, courage, and good will.  I wish to live without hate, whim, jealousy, envy, fear.  I wish to be simple, honest, frank, natural, clean in mind and clean in body, unaffected-as ready to say "I do not know", if it be so, and to meet all men on an absolute equality-to face any obstacle and meet every difficulty unabashed and unafraid.  I wish others to live their lives, too-up to their highest, fullest, and best.  To that end I pray that I may never meddle, interfere, dictate, give advice that is not wanted, or assist when my services are not needed.  If I can help people, I'll do it by giving them a chance to help themselves; and if I can uplift or inspire, let it be by example, inference, and suggestion, rather than by injunction and dictation.  That is to say, I desire to be radiant- to radiate life."

-Elbert Hubbard

what a cool idea. radiating life.
