Now it's hardly simple
It's just simply hard,
when it comes to you

I'm by myself
Not being myself
Just to avoid all this confrontation

"But dost thou love life, then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of."

Analogy of early hand over to Iraq made by my government teacher:

"Surprise! Here's the key to the brand new car but you can't drive it...or you can drive around the block but you can't go anywhere else...or think of it as a learner's permit!"

The Monroe Doctrine explained by my government teacher:

"This is our pie, you have your pie. We won't take a piece of your pie and you can't take a piece of ours. If you try to take a piece of our pie, we will slap."

"If a man is happy in his work, exerting himself to the full extent of his capabilities, and enjoying it, I'd say he's a success."

-William Romain

The definition of success is misinterpreted by many.

"Success is determined by how determined you are to succeed."

-Geofrey R. Lorenz

Another definition of success, which I've come to thnk is my favorite word. :0

I'm so excited about this weekend. I just want to see, touch, and yeah yeah taste the happiness. Just four more days. I don't think I could be anymore excited. Maybe I'll just see about tomorrow haha...

Tuuuuuusssssssssshhhyyyy!!! I have no shame what so ever!!! *smile*

" Let Greeks be Greeks, and women what they are."

-Anne Bradstreet

I love being a woman. It's just so chic!

You know it always takes someone else's troubles to make you realize how good you have it. I'm grateful for God's love.

"It's just a job. Grass, grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up."

- Muhammad Ali

Hahaha... don't you wish you had the guts to say that? I wish I could say something like that AND back it up. I love people sometimes.

I love it at Halliburton... the people are so nice, the atmosphere is so friendly. Oh so small and cozy!!

There's something about getting things accomplished that puts a little pep in my step,

a smirk on my face,

and some milk in my shake :)

"I'm not confused. I'm just well Mixed."

-Robert Frost

I feel so motivated, I feel like... myself. What is the meaning of this?

I'm tired...

I was leaving class and I saw the most wonderful thing!!
A rainbow!! It really made my day. It's been so long since I've seen one. It was so beautiful.

I just stood their and watched in the sprinkles of the rain... *sigh*

I'm not a perfect person
As many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

The Reason by Hoobastank
(I'm glad you wanted me to hear it)

Cohort 2!!! You guys were so great!!! :-}

This past week has been so crazy. I've met so many people who made me happy to be me. I love me. I also love cohort 2!!! Yaayyy Second place in the marketing competition. I really missed Austin and I think Austin missed me. I could tell. So much love in one week. I really needed that. It was soooo good to see Jen, Alex, and Rose. I've made alot of crazy decisions but being in Austin, I realized that they were all the right ones. What a way to go Alexis!!!

The bootylicious award??? Guys I really do love you, but it's not that big.

The last night...aww I missed Adam. Adam you were my ace...even though you called me a buick. And Quincy thank you for explaining to me why you think everyone always talk about my butt. Kelly you were right and all that matters is that you got it done and it was fantastic!!! Go Kelly! Phil was the best, I hope I didn't ruin your life, lol. Whitney, Alex, Charlie, Sophie, Claudia, Tara, and April... I've got so much love for you guys!

I still love you, I'm just tired. So I'll wait instead...

Some people take on the wrong roles. Some people cannot be the head of big projects.
Sometimes you just can't win. But that's life. Life sucks sometimes...but then there are the beautiful things.

I love the beautiful things.

Good Communication is as stimulating as black coffee,
and just as hard to sleep after.

I used to know exactly what I wanted.

Who I wanted, what I wanted...
I knew what I wanted.

I knew where I wanted to go.
What's next? I knew.

Now I don't.
I feel lost.
I reach out for some kind of help, cause now it's like I finally need it...but then I come up empty. And it amazes me, even astounds me. Then it makes me angry. What are friends for anyway. What the hell is going on. But then...

I feel sad. Cause I'm right back not knowing.

What I like about Government is that my professor makes me want to learn, meakes me want to watch the news, and makes me excited. How can you be excited about government? Take Heather Hallock!

We both need to grow up.

Life is so confusing.
Sometimes...

I don't want to figure it out.

I want to give up...and float.

Confusion. I don't care.
Confusion.Anger.Bewilderment.Anger.Nonchalance.Relief.Happiness.

I could go on and on but sometimes I wonder why go through the cycle. Why not just pick one and stick to it for the rest of your life. But then who would get to decide which one everyone gets stuck with.

I would pick happiness--who wouldn't.

Maybe serendipity brought you here to meet me to you

When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you - all the way

When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you - all the way

Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say

But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you - all the way, all the way

Interesting note:

Past: Germany (evil empire) never attacked us; Japan attacked us, yet, we landed in Normandy that fateful day.

Present: Iraq/Sudam never attacked us, Osama Bin Ladin attacked us.

So... same difference? hmmm....something to think about

George W Bush...some speakers are born and some are made and he is...neither one.

--Said very eloquently by my Government teacher

I'm feeling really adventurous... I think I'm about to have some fun!!!

:)

I love the sound of rain outside of my window.

The perfect time to curl up in a good book

or

daydream about wonderful words said,
people who touch my heart,
and beautiful things such as grins and curly hair.

I think that it's the rain that's got me so mushy.
Or maybe I just feel good.

Oh My Gosh!!!

:) Technology is wonderful :)

I have a headache :(

Cheer up. It's an art to cheer up others. Thank you.

Who the hell do you think you are?
You have no right...I'm so upset!
But the worst part is

I don't have anyone to talk to about it.

It's funny cause there are three people I can talk to about anything.

One...
I don't know if that's true, something is blocking it, I don't know

Two...
I feel far away from, but I could talk, they'd be open, even down the street, just can't talk

Three...
Frustrating the hell out of me! The reason why I'm angry, I'm wishing for distance again, and then fear came from somewhere

Best friends...friends...whatever...I have no one to talk to.

Why? Should I ask?
Do I want to know?
Do you?
Man sometimes I'm just so tired.

I think too much. *sigh*
I can't understand why people just don't read my mind.
Maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea.
But I wish you would say it. Or say something.
That's what I'm thinking.

"I never would have opened up
but you seem so real to me

Don't tell me I haven't been good to you
Don't tell me I have never been there for you
Just tell me why
Nothing is good enough"

I feel a sharp pang of hurt. I try to ignore it.
What else can I do?

I hurt.

To think I didn't think it could get worse.

I hurt.
What can I do? I hurt.

I can only believe...

But why do I still hurt at the thought of it?
Sharp pangs that won't go away.

I've given you the best that I've got.

I love midnight trips.


Wal-Mart
the bay
the beach

(those are never all that healthy
but lessons are learned
and I'm sure that's the important part)

Sonic late night snacks
the pasture
the swing
apartments
the base (shhh that's a secret)


I think I'm just one of those people that come alive at night
It's so exciting...
