discovery

Ive pretty much always been a Jason Mraz fan. I've seen him play live several times and i even got to meet him once after a show... i love almost all of his music- however there is one song I never liked.. its a song called Plane. On his mr. a-z cd it is really slow and weird and I just never got it; UNTIL yesterday! I came across this video and I've watched it several times since then. It's the same song, Plane, but it's a different version of him singing it live and it is amazing. I think it's from before he was ever famous. My guess is he is just opening up for someone else. Anyways, I love it and I wish he wouldn't have changed it on his album. So if you have ever heard the song Plane and didn't really like it, listen to this version and it will change your whole perspective of the song.. at least it did for me.

red tights

i am thinkin these red tights are pretty and i need some!

new shoes

well my wish is coming true- fall is right around the corner! today it was only 71 degrees :) yayayay! and everyone knows that new seasons call for new shoes! i think this year im craving some vans; ive got a couple pair in mind...




i cant decide between them, what do you think?

lesson of the day..

Sometimes things happen and we dont understand why. We just have to trust God and know that he has his reasons. Just always take the time to appreciate what you have and know that tomorrow promises nothing.

without suffering there would be no compassion.
-a walk to remember

falling...

I am ready for the fall. I will always have a special place in my heart for summer, but theres just something about the warm sun clashing with the crisp wind. And nothing feels better then the dry leaves that crunch under your feet as you walk. You can smell the new era and its quite refreshing. Fall brings the perfect temperature. The colors of everything and the feeling in the air.. ugh i just love it. Im getting anxious just thinking about it!

Dani Brubaker

If you like photography, you have to check out Dani Brubaker. Her way of making these young kids seem so beautiful and mature, yet still kids is amazing. She's quite inspiring. Wish I had a camera :(

inspired by kittens

ok so far- nothing life changing. i did get a new job though at a little pizza joint. i start on monday & thats pretty exciting. also, today i came across this hilariously adorable video...

cravings...

i'm craving something; something huge.
im not sure what it is yet.
something moving.
something that will change my entire outlook on life.
i hope it makes me think really hard.
makes me appreciate things a little more.

boom shalaka

i kinda like this :]

things that make life worth living:

Falling in love.
Hearing your favorite song on the radio.
Lying in bed listening to the rain outside.
Milkshakes.
Bubble baths.
Giggling.
Long conversations late at night.
The beach.
Running through sprinklers.
Laughing at an inside joke.
Laughing at yourself.
Laughing so hard your stomach hurts.
Laughing for absolutely no reason at all.
Just plain laughing.
Having someone tell you that you're beautiful.
Friends.
Accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you.
Waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep.
First kisses.
Making new friends or spending time with old ones.
Playing with a new puppy.
Sweet dreams.
Hot chocolate.
Road trips with friends.
Making chocolate chip cookies.
Holding hands with someone you care about.
Watching the sunrise.
Watching a sunset.
Getting out of bed in the morning after sleeping in and
looking out the window to see its sunny, birds are chirping,
and kids are playing.
Knowing that somebody misses you.

dedicated to: mia carruthers

also..
thanks to teddy for shooting an awesome video and convincing me i was good enough to do it!

dirty fair!

Had an amazing night last night at the dirty fair! i love the dirty fair! there were all kinds of rides that will make you throw up and all kinds of food and there was a rock n roll band playing by the river. pretty awesome. some guy with an accent convinced me to play this water race and i won twice (i think one time teddy let me win) so i got a big monkey sticking out of a banana which i named jamal. ive always been afraid of heights and the farris wheel was going like 50mph! i was kinda freaking out haha. but honeslty if the fair was still open tonight, id go back and do it again!

old video

I was lookin through some old picture folders on my computer and i ran into this video and decided to share. enjoy!

having a bad day?

go to fmylife.com- im positive it will make you feel better about yourself! its just a bunch of short, yet hilarious stories..

examples:

1. Today, none of my 500 Facebook friends responded to my status about "who wants to hang out during summer holidays?" I proceeded to create an imaginary person on a different account to respond and ask me to hang out with him. I had a conversation on my status, with myself. FML

2. Today, I collided heads at a soccer game and needed 13 stitches in my head. I texted all my contacts to let them know I was in the hospital. I got back one response that said "bitch got what you deserve" it was from my cousin. No one else ever texted me back. FML

3. Today, I went to the laundromat. I put a load in the dryer and walked away to check on my other load. When I came back, I saw a homeless man putting his dirty, wet underwear in the dryer with my clean clothes. FML


-i promise things could always be worse :)

keep it real

this week. . .
all i want to say to everyone is to keep it real.
be real with the people you care about.
tell them the truth first.
dont brush everything under the rug.
i promise everyone will feel better about the situation.
whatever it might be.
its never to late.

so my best friend monica drove to come visit me the other day and she was lucky enough to have quite the adventure. we were driving to mcdonalds and what do you know? the road is blocked off by a cop so we ended up going to king gyros instead. on the way home we saw a huge cloud of smoke coming from the exact same spot where the road was blocked off and there was a law firm building on fire!! we couldn't help but park the car and watch and we got some great footage!
