Just a few random thoughts…

True poets don’t write their thoughts with a pen…
They realize the ink that flows from within their heart.

If you really love someone, Then distance matters only to the mind… not to the heart.

A woman should have….
One old love she can imagine going back to…
And one who reminds her how far she has come…
And how far she has yet to go.

Sometimes relationships are like broken glass…It would be more painful to put it back together than just to let it be.

No, these are not my words… just words that have touched me at one point or another. I love quotes, lyrics, and words. So much expression can be said in the simplest of words.

Today was an okay day. Nothing special. Went and did some running around to a few stores.. the mall, circuit city, etc. I’m dreading work. I fought a migraine all day yesterday, it was horrible. I ended up taking two doses of my medicine, which eventually knocked me out, so I feel like I lost part of my weekend. — and now, I’m relaxing while Desperate Housewives is DVRing, and I’m listening to some Joss Stone.

Remember, tomorrow is the Blog Silence Day. So, I won’t be posting tomorrow for sure.

Hope everyone else had a good weekend. Maybe I’ll have something worthy of content soon… I have GOT to get over this FUNK! (And, I will!)

So, I’ve been a bad blogger. I had such high hopes, of blogging everyday. Sadly, life is tooooo crazy to be able to do that. So, I’m taking a little motivation from Some Girl and am going to try to blog every other day, at least. I’m not quite ambitious enough to do the blogging every single day for a whole year. I’ll set my standards a little easier than that. I can’t promise the entries will all be fabulous, but there WILL be an entry, at least.

However, I won’t blog on April 30, 2007 – other than that, be sure to check back for my silly ramblings. I’m sure it will be … interesting. At least for me.

There are so many things that I could write about and feelings that are floating around in regards to the recent VT tragedy. I don’t even know where to start. I’ve read things, watched things… I find myself wanting to know WHY. There’s no one to answer that of course, he took his own life. I don’t wish ill on anyone, and I do understand the feeling of… loneliness, anger, frustration. Peers can be brutal. So, it’s not far fetched to think that this could be leading in with where his mind ultimately took him. One thing that I don’t understand, after reading the “Plays” that he wrote for a class — was HOW could it all be overlooked. If there were worries, then something should have at least been TRIED to investigate it all. It just doesn’t make sense. I mean, if a person is unhappy and doesn’t want to live — why brutally murder innocent people. I do NOT condone suicide or anything like that at all.. I’m just saying, innocent people are gone… forever, and for what? It didn’t solve anything, it didn’t stop anything from happening again. All that is left are broken hearts.

This week… is such a tragic week anyway. It marks the anniversary of the Waco, Texas stand-off and murders (04/19/1993); the anniversary of the Oklahoma City - Murrah Federal Building Bombing (04/19/1995); The Sinking of the Titanic (04/10/1912)… and others that I’ms ure that I’m not thinking of right at this moment. Obviously the OKC Federal Building Bombing effects me (directly) most. Still have those uneasy feelings and worries everytime that I go down town or near a Military Base or Airport.

As bloggers, the only thing we can really do is what we do best. WRITE.

Spread the word…. and let’s all have a…

ONE DAY BLOG SILENCE

Stay safe…

That’s right. “T” Day. For those that don’t know, that’s Tax Day.

So, I had been putting off filing my taxes since early February. I know, I know. But see, it’s a matter of being annoyed. I find it very frusterating that I always…. always, end up owing State Tax. It makes no sense what.so.ever.! — I pay state tax ALL year long, sales tax, etc. Also, they deduct State Tax from my paycheck. So, it is not logical to ME that I have to pay….. MORE at the end of the year. What benefit am I getting? None that I can see. I have no children in school — our roads have been ‘construction zones’ since I was born — Nothing is getting any cheaper. The other reason I had been putting it off, is that I like to file electronically. And using some place like TurboTax usually can be costly (Around $49.95 for Federal and $29.95 for State). Occasionally they have a sale.. but, I always seem to miss those. So, I put off searching for something cheaper.. or hey.. even free. Tonight, I finally remembered a site that I heard on the TV and the radio… it’s called TaxAct. I was able to figure and file both my Federal & State returns for only $15.95!! I was so happy. Of course — that owing state thing sucked my joy right out of my lil heart.

I’m thinking it may be time to pack up things and MOVE! I know other states do not have state taxes.

…. He told me that he would give me a sign.

I was scared. He looked at me, and with that handsome smile, he took my head softly in his hands and kissed my forehead. It was in that moment, that I knew it would all be alright.

I’ve been wondering lately which direction I want my blog to go. Over the years, I’ve noticed that anytime that I have a public journal I tend to censor myself. I’ve wondered why I do this, and though I try not to… I find myself doing it anyway.

So, that leads me to wonder… why do I care? It is my blog after all. I am an adult. I have real emotions, real thoughts, real desires.. .and while I may not be that single gal living it up in a big city, I’m still a woman. So I’m curious… how do other bloggers get over the silent-monster and just put it all out there?

Maybe I should just put a disclaimer up…. “Warning: This blog may make you mad, it make offend, and you may find it socially unacceptable. But.. it’s all me.”

I’ve been really stressed about school lately. And, I’ve been so busy with other things (work, car issues, badge issues, tag issues, etc) that I almost completely forgot that I have a TEST tonight. So, at around 6:00pm I realize…. that the test is due! I brave it, and take a chance. I mean, we get to take it twice and then she averages our grades. Okay, no problem. I can do this.

I log into the Schools WebSite and enter my virtual classroom. Sweating and everything. I take the test the first time, and wind up with an 80%. (Okay… not too bad, I can live with that). I take it the second time, and end up with … are you ready for it? — A 100%. That’s right…. 100%. ( woohooo! cheers, etc ) — now with my average I’ll end up with a 90% for the test. WHEW! One stressful thing out of the way. Then, I remember that I have a rough draft of my paper due on Friday. It’s a research paper over Freedom of the Press. Uhm, wouldn’t be so bad — except, I’ve not done any research on it. I guess I know what I’m doing every free moment I get this week.

I can’t decide if I’m happy with this WP Theme or not. In a sense, I want to change it - but, I can’t really find one that I like that works exactly like I want it to. So, if you happen to come across my pages during one of my switch arounds, just excuse the mess. *laughs*
