"Do or Don't Do! There is no Try!"

I learned this little saying about a year and a half ago. And I have to say that it can be very useful. I am trying to motivate myself to do all the things that I need to be doing. Making some New Year's resolutions before the New Year.

1. Start going back to church. I never knew that leaving my church family could be so hard! I miss them...I need to find a new one but I have been shamming!

2. Get on top of Grad school and the GRE!! I think I'm just scared to go through applying and preparing to be in school again! I know that if I don't I will get antsy soon because I'm not really a person that likes to just sit there and do nothing!

3. 2 months ago I sent a letter to the first female football coach and have yet to hear anything back from her. And I know that I need to send a follow-up letter. I just haven't yet...

4. I went and bought new running shoes and workout pants in the hopes that this wold motivate me to be more diligent with my health...and to an extent it has. But I need to push myself over the hump and I just haven't done it!

5. Volunteer!! I just feel like a bum on my days off from work! I keep telling myself that I need to find someplace to volunteer my time but I haven't really looked into many places.

6. Get in contact with this lady about a new job. I have loved Trader Joe's because they have been so good to me. But a part of me just can't take working there anymore! I'm tired of pretentious people looking down on me! I'm over bagging and stocking groceries every single day! I try to hold my complaining to a minimum because God knows I'm thankful to be employed!

7. Get my cello and start playing again! Now all of this isn't on me! But I need to be persistent with people. I WANT my cello so bad! Maybe I should act like it!

Where to start?

I have been off of work since September 19th and one would think that I would be losing my mind. While there are days I am sitting in my house pulling my hair out I have been surprisingly content. Which is more than a blessing. I have been able to take care of myself and not stress too much. So with that being said here's the rundown: 1. I have a freaking cast!! I have never broken anything so this is new to me! I HATE IT!!  Mostly because it's on my dominate hand and my whole life has been complicated! All of this for a torn/out of place tendon. Which mind you I hurt in July! Either way I'm trying to let my wrist heal and all that jazz. Just know that because it's hard to type it will be harder for me to post. 2. I just received another heart break. I have really been trying to not let this bother me but it's hard. I have always been good enough to be a friend or almost a Girlfriend but never that. At some point you stop thinking that something is wrong with ev...

Am I pretty?

This is a question I ask myself on a regular basis. And the typical answer would be no. I have never considered myself pretty. There are time when I see myself in the mirror or look at picture and wonder if that's actually me. I know exactly where this stems from and I'm not fishing for compliments. Which is usually the response I get from people. They either try to help me figure out why I believe this or tell me to be quiet I should know I'm beautiful. And honestly I don't. I wish people could comprehend that it's so hard for me to think highly of myself. I just think that I'm average. Nothing more just average. I long to think of myself as gorgeous, beautiful, pretty. Someone that men and women alike were in awe of their beauty. I just want to feel beautiful and don't know how to....

"1 to the head now you know he dead..."

Like everyone else in America I have just watched Rihanna'a "Man Down" video. Now if you haven't seen it already I suggest you watch it before continue to read my post. Only because you might be confused when I make specific references! Now to my personal opinion: I want to begin by thanking Rhianna. I feel that what she has done is very worthwhile given her previous release of S & M. I won't lie and tell you that when that song came on I sang along like everyone else. Even though I'm not really a fan of whips and chains and all that other jazz but it was just so darn catchy! I'm getting off topic again. Man Down for me was one of Rihanna's most moving videos and songs to date. I believe she took a chance on taboo topic. Most of the arguments have been that the opening image of the video is "too graphic." Really? I find that hard to believe. I know that, I like many Americans, have been de-sensitized to violence. So that could be part of ...
