He Moves His Words Like a Prize Fighter: Day 3

Favorite book that you own

        

 

         

During my 30 Day photo challenge I wrote about my favorite book. For this blog I am going to write about a book that intrigues me. I have yet to finish this book but so far it's fascinating. My awesome friend showed me this book. Now, it's not what you think it is! This book is about personalty types and communication. And basically how to manipulate that communication to get what you want/need in your work and social life. hmmm this will be an interesting one to finish. This author also wrote 48 Laws of Power, which is next on my reading list. 

Back in the Saddle: Day 2

A photo that makes you happy

    

 

       

Yes that is Steven Tyler, and yes I saw Aerosmith 6 rows back. This picture reminds me of another time in my life. Life seems to be constantly moving and the past falls farther into the past. Although my life is drastically changing, and changing for the better, I always look to memories to be thankful for what I have and what I've experienced. This is a great experience of mine, I hope to have many more :)

Crazy Little Thing Called Love: Day 1

A picture of yourself taken on the first day of the challenge

         

 

         

After finishing my 30 Day Photo Challenge I found I have very little to write about, unless you want to hear about my workday everyday lol  so to spark up my interest again I am going to blog the 100 day photo challege. Now lets be real. This is going to take longer than 100 days, but you will see 100 photos. 

       

So today I took this picture with my dog Roxie. She really has a few screws loose and is crazy beyond belief, but she has more personalty and character than most people I know :) 

Blame it on the Alcohol

Viva Las Vegas

    

 

      

I recently took a short vacation to the wonderful Las Vegas for a bachelorette party. The trip was filled with a whole lot of laughs, alcohol, dancing, and sleeping. Here are a few pics to recap the vacation. 

      

Night 1

    

 

     

Deepa, Wynter and I headed to Moon at the Palms the first night. It happened to be St Patrick's Day and March Madness, so you could imagine the people. We headed to the Playboy Club for a bit, but made our way back to Moon for the rest of the night.

       

    

Night 2

      

The second night Nicole flew in, and while waiting for her to arrive, the ladies and I went to Tao, which was located where we stayed. It was awesome :) We somehow were able to get Nicole in without waiting in line and got her wrist "re-stamped" because her "first stamp" "rubbed off"

     

     

Night 3

    

 

     

The third night was definitely the most interesting. We ended up first at Tryst and the XS. Holly Madison was at XS while we were there, and ran into a Russell Brand look a like. Or maybe it was him... The music was awesome and the dancing was insane. When I think of Vegas, XS is definitely what I thought it was going to be. This night I started to introduce myself as Roxie.

       

       

Unfortunately my sister was sick and was unable to go :( We will just have to make it there another St Patrick's Day/March Madness another year. All in all it was a good trip :)

You Can't Always Get What You Want

 

           

I have recently started to watch the show Californication (showtime) and have done some life reflection if you will. It's funny how you can see parts of your life reflected in bits of fiction. Some how living on this roller coaster of life seems to work itself out at times. Yet everything has a way of turning to shit once in a while. Are we constantly fixing our mistakes and rebuilding the broken? Or are we soaring in our triumphs with speed bums to run over. I'll take the latter. The only way to be a good optimist is to know the pessimists point of view. Don't get me wrong, we've all been in that place where life is utterly broken into the tiniest of pieces. But even then most all recover somehow. 

I think I've learned a lot these past couple years. Through tragedy and heartbreak I've found a part of myself, an important part at that. After it all I always find myself in the same place, just a little more grown up. 

Californication is a show about this roller coaster. Where happy endings are questionable and life turns to shit. Yet through that, life works itself out to some peaceful place. Everything in between is pushed in as well. And love? "what if love isn't enough?" well i know a lot of people have an opinion on that subject.  Do we let life lead or do we fight?

     

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need...

Thunder Only Happens When it's Raning: Day 28

A picture of something you're afraid of

       

 

      

So I thought this picture was really neat, and you can see a bit of lightning in the background. When I was little I was watching the Lion King with my sister and my "brother" and lightning hit a tree a couple of blocks away and hit a house. It also cut the power, seriously scared the shit out of me. Ever since then hearing thunder makes me uneasy. Growing up in an old house it would rattle the windows. It just sounds all bad. Lets just say when a thunder storm is happening, Im probably in bed, scared shitless. 

Get Low: Day 27

A picture of you and a family member

      

 

       

This is my sister Felisha. Felisha, Felisha, Felisha. hmmmm I could say many thing about my sister, but I will keep this one short and sweet. I'm very grateful that growing up we got along, for the most part. We had occasional fights about wearing each others clothing, but that's about it. When she went away to college we became a bit closer, and apparently I got "cooler". I'm very proud of her for what she has accomplished. Getting her BS in Biology by the time she was 21 and now working in a lab. I know someday she'll change the world, in some way. She's also taught me many important life lessons and I know she's always watching out for me. She's also helping me train for Vegas, thank god. wub you sister!
