cinco de mayo

well, a very successful cinco de mayo, indeed.

zumba was crazy tonight. crazy in a good way.

i should be sleeping because i have tons to do tomorrow, but i'm blogging and writing and thinking instead.

i'm currently thinking about perfection. and, admittedly, perfection depends a whole lot on one's own perception. right? well, i think so. who really has the authority to set a standard that is suitable for all people?

well, i'm currently thinking about what things are perfect in my life. i can happily report that nothing is perfect, nor would i want it to be.

perfection means no fault. faults, to me, are what make people beautiful and unique.

perfection, to me, is listening to damien rice on a rainy day. snuggling on the couch with a good movie and a good person is perfect. laughing until i cry is perfect. having a successful run is perfect. feeling an overwhelming sense of validation is perfect.

are all these things perfect when separated? maybe not. i'm sure there is something faulty with each and every thing i adore.

perfection, to me, is finding beauty in fault.


so, i'm curious...what is perfection to you?

vintage pirates

-Albert Einstein

things are good.

i have amazing friends, family, and job.

this week, something happened that made the "top 5 most exciting life moments" list. i kind of like that a lot.

the jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves

i kind of love the fact that i'm eternally optimistic.

trust me, you should listen to the whole song. maybe, just maybe, you'll learn something. :-)

here's to all the haters of the world...

mr. amazing

so, lately i feel that i've been rather negative in my approach to people and life on here, mainly of the male variety.

so i've decided to make this a happy blog. as women, we've got so many menskies to be thankful for!

there are so many crazies out there. 1 in 25 americans are sociopaths, whether they know it or not. these people literally get joy out of creating misery and confusion in a person's life. 1 in 50 americans are obsessive compulsive. so many people suffer with depression and other disorders that alter their personalities.

so often they get all of the credit, but i'm kind of over that.

so, here's to the amazings.

here's to the boyfriend who gets to know his girlfriend's friends.
here's to the husband who calls his wife's best friend when he needs help cheering her up.
here's to the brother who cares enough about his sister to take an interest in who she's dating.
here's to the father that wakes up a little early to call his daughter in the morning before he goes to work.
here's to the grandpa that smack talks his granddaughter's x-boyfriend. bahahaha. (ask and i will tell you)
here's to the uncle who learns how to text message so his niece will be proud of him.
here's to the step-dad who makes an effort.
here's to the friend that encourages and reminds her of her worth.

here's to men, really.

these are just some personal examples from my life. i'd really like to hear about the amazing men in your life. tell me, tell me!

ooo, girl, shock me like an electric eel

this weekend is probably going to rock.

mainly because it will be full of friends, dancing, music, second dating-ing, and the intake of some delicious wine.

ahh, yes, and some serious working.

so many things

i'm having a difficult time focusing.

there are so many things going on right now...

of course work (and there is plenty of that), shakespeare's bday, talibanian militia advancing in pakistan, meg's baby shower, magazine articles, gm is bankrupt, h&m dropped their new line today, vp of myspace "stepped down," orange and wikipedia are now partners(?), apple is making money right now, and i have a date tonight with the guy my brother has hand picked for me.

yikes.

some days i want to throw it all in and move to ikiria.

ps. my vitality compass said that my age from lifestyle is 21, i'm projected to live until 97.3. i'll take it.

today, but tomorow

today is earth day, but tomorrow is talk like shakespeare day.

sigh. i love that man.

even though, if living, he'd be around 445. hawt.



fie, thou fellow minions, we shall celebrate thy brevity of life in spirit of literary furor!

current addiction...after my massive frank sinatra addiction earlier today...

for the love of pirates

pirates!

i knew there was a reason that i loved pirates so much.

they are go-getters, always thriving on insecurity. if a person didn't have the ability to do that, then nothing would ever be accomplished.

yes, pirates are kind of jerks. they steal things and off people. if fact, they are some of the biggest bullies in history (and now today). however, i still find myself drawn to them.

i've always been a fan of the underdog.

i admire that you always know what to expect from a pirate. their angle is unruly, and it has worked for them since the middle ages.

so, even though all the evidence points towards disliking pirates...maybe i'm a little unruly as well.

current obessions:

clarity, trusting myself, and soulja boy
