Something that bothers me a lot is when people are all angry or pissed off about something and then act like an ass towards other people. It’s fine to be angry and pissed off. It’s fine to mope and it’s also fine to vent. But it’s not okay to be an ass and treat other people like crap. If you need to be alone, say so. If you need to talk to someone, then say so. Whatever it is, just don’t let your emotions make you act like a jerk.

Randomness
I’ve been feeling kind of sick lately, but I’m hoping to feel better soon. I haven’t been able to sleep through the night which is very frustrating. Last night I woke up just before 4am and pretty much just laid there with my eyes wide open because I couldn’t sleep. Other times I keep moving around and waking up abruptly. It’s strange and I hope it stops.
Other than that, its been good. The weekend was a lot of fun. Just hanging out with good friends.
I was thinking and I realize I finally have some “favorite” things. Although I just forgot all the ones I was going to name. Favorite author: Mitch Albom. That’s right, you read that correctly, I said author. I really like his books. I’m trying to find a new book to read, but I haven’t been successful because I’m not exactly sure how to describe or find the type of books I like. Alright, well I forgot all the other favorites, but when I remember, I will post them here.
Yep that’s all for tonight.
And to finish it off with a song that I like. The lyrics remind me of Leeann Womack’s, “I Hope You Dance”. It’s so hopeful, so….true.
Rascal Flatts – My Wish
I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you’re faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin’ till you find the window,
If it’s cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God’s grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.
But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
Dream-like
I was browsing through old pictures last night. Felt a little bit of nostalgia.

For awhile I had stopped thinking, but its back. I’m thinking more and I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. Thinking about people, about things people do and don’t do, thinking about life, thinking about the past, the future, the present, and thinking about things I imagine happening but will never happen.

Written about a year ago was this:
Ever wonder if you’ve made a difference in someones life. One of things I want to happen is for me to say something so profound and so powerful to someone that it will make them change their way of life, their way of living, for the better. If I’ve ever said something to you to make you think, to make you change, to make you realize, to influence you to find something better, to work harder, to be stronger, to be motivated, then I have succeeded. Sometimes I do hope that I make a difference.
I may have partially done that.

Turn on the music and let me return to a dream-like state…
Thanks
Thanks to everyone who celebrated my birthday with me. Thanks for all the phone calls, messages, and cards. I had wonderful company. :)
Ice Blocking is Painfully Fun
This weekend was great! It was beautiful outside. Nice and sunny, just how I like it. Went to a nearby park to play some football. It was a lot of fun. The park was pretty nice too. I think it was kind of nice to just be outside and hanging out. Also spent hours playing the wii. I didn’t realize that the wii could be that much fun. Everyone who played or watched had a good time. I like that. That way no one is bored while the other person is playing. Everyone was complaining about sore arms and elbows afterwards. Pretty funny. And we also went ice blocking!! That was one of the funnest (is that a word?) things I’ve done. Although I didn’t realize the blocks of ice would be soo small. Nevertheless, we figured out how to use them. Those things go fast! We didn’t even use it on grass, imagine how much faster it would have been if it was on grass. Like always, everything is all fun and games until someone gets hurt. The ice blocks are small and slippery, meaning it is difficult to stay on them all the way down the hill. I went on this one ride from all the way at the top – pretty steep. Charging down I must have just lifted off the ice block and came back down on the block or the floor (I’m thinking the block) several times really hard. Kind of like bouncing. I hit my tail bone really really hard. I was in a lot of pain and just kind of laid there on the floor. It hurt pretty bad. I was kind of scared to do it again. But I did a few more times later on before I called it a night. But now my tail bone is I think severely bruised or worse. There are definitely bruises on my butt and a couple dark bruises in the vicinity of my tail bone. It hurts to move and it hurts to not move. I can’t sit down normally and I really can’t lay flat on my back. So painful. So frustrating. You never realize how much your body uses every single part until you hurt one part. I can’t bend over. I have to sit on one side and it still hurts. I can’t get up or move down. It’s really lame right now. Although I hope its just a bruise and not a fracture. But its hard to say. And even if it is a fracture, there’s nothing much I can do but let it heal on its own. We’ll give it a week or as long as I can hold out before I see a doctor. It’s a big challenge to sleep though. :( Nevertheless, ice blocking was really fun! I’ll have to do it again, but not anytime soon. Today we also went to the beach. It was beautiful outside. It was hot thought. It hasn’t been this warm in awhile. The beach was packed. We were still able to find a spot to hang out though. I wasn’t able to do much which was lame because usually I’m down for the football/volleyball playing at the beach especially since I don’t usually like to go in the water. I just sat around (as best as I could) and took some photos. Oh yeah, daylight savings is early this year. I love it. Now it’ll be sunny when I leave work! Awesome! I love more daylight. Anyway its been a good weekend and I hope it’ll be a good week as well.
Happenings
It’s been stressful. Overwhelming? I don’t know. Stressful. Much to do and deadlines to meet. I gotta learn to relax, de-stress, and remain calm.
I also need to stop eating out. I eat out almost every meal. It’s so unhealthy!
I got new kicks. I like them. I think. I had trouble finding shoes I liked before but when I saw these, I was thinking that they were pretty cool. I also got a free pair of socks for trying them all. That one pair of socks was priced at $8. Who the heck wants to pay that much money for ONE pair of socks. Ridiculous.
I need to write about more interesting things…

I miss them.
Places
It’s not even 11 yet and I’m pretty tired. It’s been a long day. It feels like Sunday but good thing it isn’t. I think it was being out of the house and walking around everywhere that made me tired.
Places I went to:
Enterprise
Bed Bath & Beyond
Costco
Sears Essentials
Michael’s
Mervyns
Shoe Pavilion
Barnes & Nobles
Sports Authority
Coffee Bean
Rite Aid
Short break at home/friend’s house
Sears Essentials
Home Depot
Walmart
Wow that is a lot of places. It’s hard for me to shop for…a lot of things. Sometimes I’m pretty picky. Other times, its just hard to find stuff that fit. I’ve been meaning to get shoes for awhile now. My shoes are pretty old and the left one squeaks anytime I take a step. Aside from the fact that I’m not sure what type and color shoe I want, its hard to find some that fit comfortably. I have wide feet and women’s shoes just don’t really work for me. Plus I have to see how they look with my jeans on. I kind of want some dark brown shoes but at the same time I still like my white shoes. Who knows?
Don’t Let Me Win
As a girl, girlfriend, or wife, would you want a guy to let you win? Win at stuff like games and sports. One lady’s answer, yes. “Of course, if I kept losing, why would I want to play with him.” My answer was a no and then a question. As a guy, how do you feel about a girl beating you at something if you tried your hardest. His answer, I don’t know. It seems to vary between people. I think its got something to do with a guy’s ego. He can’t lose to a…girl. How could he get beat by a girl? This is the reason why sometimes guys give off the excuse that he let the girl win. What kind of BS is that? Also, in the presence of other guys, of course he can’t lose. Else his guy friends will make fun of him forever. What do you guys think for both questions?
Daily Events
I took 3 showers yesterday. 3! I took my morning shower and cleaned up the inside of my car in the afternoon. We were going to go out so I took another shower. After coming back from the pub everything wreaked of smoke so I took another shower.
Went to the e street cafe in encinitas on friday night. We were going to go check out open mic and some guy singing. I thought the cafe was kind of nice but the guy singing wasn’t that good. So we left. Tried to hit up a bar but there were all old people in there. Walked in and walked out.
Went to an irish pub last night. Playing darts is pretty fun, I like playing cricket. I don’t usually like to go to bars/clubs or any type of thing like that. I usually feel very uncomfortable. Plus most people there are in the drunken state and I find drunken people to be quite obnoxious sometimes. I was doing fine playing darts with our own little group until we decided to go outside. It was definitely a different atmosphere out there. Quite uncomfortable feeling. I think if I was with a guy then I’d feel more comfortable at those places. But that is not the case.
Regardless of my issues, I hope Marvin had a good birthday weekend.
