You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot before the other, and God damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about the business of living. That’s how I’ve done it. There’s no other way.

This Made Me Smile Today

"In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people’s home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school. You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!"

~   Woody Allen

"Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. It’s enough to drive one mad. I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it."

It's Time .......

I saw this video and thought, how inspiring. I am so ready to move from here, but I keep putting my hopes and desires on hold. I have no reason to put it on hold, it's just pure laziness, I suppose. I think about moving every week and yet I do nothing to take the leap forward. I've got to work on being more commited to my dreams. 

MOVE from Rick Mereki on Vimeo.

"3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage... all to turn 3 ambitious linear concepts based on movement, learning and food ....into 3 beautiful and hopefully compelling short films....."

The Evolution of Me Begins...

One of the new spices in my life (check out previous post ) is reading books. I'm actually finding that going to the library is quite fun. I'm not sure why I ever stopped going. 

My latest read is "Eat Pray Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert.

Constantly Evolving

Lately, I've become consumed with the idea of trying new things and experiencing new things. It's a new wave for me and the journey has just begun. My goal is to start paying closer attention to the things I enjoy or could possible enjoy and if I don’t enjoy it, at least I can say I’ve tried it/done it. Not until recently, I realized how much I deprive myself of experiencing the simple pleasures of life.

1. I want to start reading more books. Books that are enlightening, culturally empowering, and uplifting.
2. Spa treatment is also on my list. I think it's so important to treat the body from time to time. I never use to be into pampering myself, but as I’ve gotten older I think it's definitely necessary.
3. I want to learn to speak another language fluently.
4. As much as I love wine, you would have thought I would have done this by now, Wine Tasting!
5. I'm interested in doing yoga, but not any yoga, Hot Yoga!! My friend Tee was the one that told me about it and I was sold.
6. Believe it or not, I have never been for a massage. How crazy is that? Now I will say this…..I have had massages before, but they weren't exactly from masseuses. (*_^)
7. I want to travel and explore more of the world.
8.  I'm not sure if taking a Cake Decorating Class is a brilliant idea, with me being on a diet right now, but hey whateva!!  
9. This is probably extremely random, but I've always wanted to get a Bikini wax. I've gotten as far as scheduling the appointment, but the youtube videos freaked-me-out. I'm ready now!!
10. As I mentioned previously, I think it's important to treat your body, so a Facial is must.
11. Exploring the world of Fine Arts and attending plays.
12. I want to learn more about photography  
13. Become more cultured in all areas of life.
14. Here’s something about me that you may or may not know. When I go to a restaurant, I usually end up getting the same thing, EVERY TIME. I refuse to try something I have never tasted before, so my goal is to try different foods (ie., sushi, lobster, crab, etc)

I'm sure as time prevails more will be added to this list. I just want to enjoy life to the fullest. I want to start being consumed with things that I find interest in. I think it’s important to embrace every moment in life. Never skip an opportunity to enjoy what life has to offer. Go travel. Eat different things. Explore. Read more. Make time for family and friends. Be spontaneous. I understand that sometimes it’s not that easy, but sometimes IT IS that easy.

Are you awake?

Have you been so tired, but you don't want to go to sleep because it's the weekend??

That's me, right now.

I swear during the week I think about everything I want to do and see on the internet. I get anxious for the weekend just so I can stay up late to browse the web. Surely, I'm not the only one that does this. Right? Do you ever have all of these plans in your head about what you want to look up, do, see, watch on the internet, but you never get around to doing it all. I get distracted and before I know it, what felt like 30 minutes on the web turns into 4 hours. I swear time ticks by sooo freaking fast on the internet. Like, what's that about? Okay, so this post is pretty random and I'm fighting SLEEP right now.


I think SLEEP is winning.
