Boom.

Lately I've had numerous ideas/things bouncing around my head. How I'm ever going to decide what to do is beside me. One thing I do know is that I need a vacation stat. I've been stressed to the max and can feel the toll it's taking on my body. From the fatigue to the chest pains, it's no good. I need to start doing yoga right now. I should actually be yoga-ing right now instead of typing this blog post. Oh well.

Let's see, the elections sucked. The feeling was similar to having a boyfriend (that I care about) break up with me. Complete and utter heartbreak. I was pretty emotional the day after and wanted to stab people, but I resisted and am coping better these days. As terrible as it was, I still really enjoy politics and am toying with the idea of making a career out of it somehow. If that happens, I really need to find another hobby because I get pretty wrapped up and passionate about it. I guess I found a passion in my life. Score!?

My nephew should be arriving any day now whether on his own or via induction. Either way I'm excited to meet him and see my niece too. She's still ridiculously adorable and fun...except when she screams. Not so fun.

So there's a brief update...til next time.

Peace.

Gonna give all my secrets away...

There is just something about this song that makes me love it. Maybe because it's about secrets and I love secrets...even though I am not the best at keeping my own. Wah wah.

Also I've been a fan of One Republic ever since Mel and I saw them in Den-vah a few years ago. Good times.

Asshole theory.

Darin once told me that some guys will treat girls like crap in thinking that it will make the girl want them more and that he had seen the successes of these actions.

I call this the 'asshole theory'. It is very intriguing and I guess it works for some guys.

But fun fact, it won't work on this girl. Next, please!

Marry me, j-mraz?

How adorable and young does j-mraz look in this video?? Anyways, I love this song. I'm probably going to make it my personal anthem as of late.

Enjoy.

So funky.

Well where to start? These past few weeks I've been pretty stressed to the max. Apparently so stressed that I've given myself random chest pains. (don't worry; they've subsided...mostly) You may be wondering what the cause of this extra stress is and I guess I would have to blame it on work (mostly). I am kind of to the point where how much is too much. I didn't think I would reach this point so quickly, but maybe I am just going through a funk. Yes, that is what it must be. I'm sure I will snap out of it soon.

Otherwise things are trucking along. Sometimes slower than I'd like, but I've learned a long time ago that you can't make people care about you or anything else. They have to feel it on their own.

Another lesson that I recently learned: Doing things for yourself is much more gratifying than doing things because others want or expect you to. You are the one who has to look at yourself in mirror every morning and night and accept the decisions and actions you've made. You have to live with them no matter who influenced you to act on them, so why not start by pleasing yourself first?

So there you go. How grown up of me if I do say so myself.

Suck it, haters.

Half of my heart's got a grip on the situation.

Oh John Mayer, you did it again. Great lyrics=great song in my book.

I often feel like I am only capable of loving with half of my heart.

I think I am permanently broken. But that's another story so enjoy the song.

Slacker.

I admit that I've been a blogging slacker lately i.e. the whole month of August. I'll throw out the excuse that I've been busy and I have been. Between work, work tablings, and the vodka tour wrapping up, I rarely have had free time and when I do I like to cherish it by not blogging apparently.

That all said, I promise to make more of an effort to blog my thoughts as I'm sure you are all in dire need of a dose of them.

So now for a little update. Remember when I blogged about July being the best month of 2010 so far? Well August is also shaping up quite nicely. I really have no complaints in life. Things are finally coming together and I'm just going to sit back and let them happen. I'm learning to let go of things and people who don't want me in their lives and I'm okay with it.

I'm happy.
