I've got some things to say. If people want to read it, that's cool. If not, that's cool also. This is for me to share SOME of the crazyness that's in my head. enjoy the journey ;)
I love this song, it makes me sad, though. It reminds me of zombie-like people just visiting their life, not actually living it. I certainly don't want to be one of those people.
All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Goin' nowhere, goin' nowhere Their tears are fillin' up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dyin' Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'Cause I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very Mad world, mad world Mad world, mad world
Children waitin' for the day they feel good Happy birthday, happy birthday Made to feel the way that every child should Sits and listen, sits and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson? Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dyin' Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'Cause I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very Mad world, mad world Mad world, mad world
And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dyin' Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'Cause I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very Mad world, mad world Mad world, mad world A raunchy young world Mad world
It has been quite some time since I've written anything. I sure as hell haven't submitted photos! One day, I'll get it together :) There have been a lot of new/exciting things going on in my life. I shall update:
1) I am no longer an employee of Blockbuster Video. This makes me so very happy! I've been applying for anything since I the Blockbuster franchise I was working for went under. Out of desperation and lack on any prospects, I took a position at a corporate Blockbuster as an Assistant manager, which was a step down. It was awful, and I was very unhappy. Enter.....

I am part of the Target team now! First of all, I love Target. I've shopped there for years prefering it to WalMart anyday. Target, however, is a great company to work for. My position is a Guest Service Team Leader or GSTL. I am responsible for the front end which includes cashiers, guest services, cart attendants, photo lab, etc. I finally feel like I'm with a company that I can grow with and make a career with. So yay, that's exciting.
2) Still doing weight watchers. 19lbs down to date! I'm doing well, and am very proud of the work I've done.
3) Jason and I joined a gym. I'm quite happy to be back into a work out routine. I actually really missed it. The karma wheel has finally turned back to me, as the woman that signed us up, Michelle, really loves us! She has pulled together all the trainers and the gym owners and are going to provide us free personal training. We are going to be on their website for people to follow what we are doing, we are going to blog about our journey, our problems, etc. This is the most awesome opportunity! I can't even express my gratitude for them to have even thought of us. This will start 10/1, so I'll post a link to the weight loss blog.
4) I'm still having open dialog with my father. I don't believe we are ever going to have a very loving father-daughter relationship, but I am glad I sought him out. Apparently last weekend he told his other daughter, so I will be curious to find out how she took that.
Ok, well that's a quick re-cap of whats going on. I feel like things are finally turning around. Cross your fingers!
You Are Beautiful is a simple, powerful statement which is incorporated into the over absorption of mass media and lifestyles that are wrapped in consumer culture.
The intention behind this project is to reach beyond ourselves as individuals to make a difference by creating moments of positive self realization. We're just attempting to make the world a little better.
Intention is the most important aspect of the You Are Beautiful project in its idea of purity. Nothing is sacred. Everything that has a perceived value becomes commodified. We work extremely hard that this message is received as a simple act of kindness, and nothing more.
Advertising elicits a response to buy, where this project elicits a response to do something. The attempt with You Are Beautiful is to create activism instead of consumerism.
You Are Beautiful uses the medium of advertising and commercialization to spread a positive message. Projects like these make a difference in the world by catching us in the midst of daily life and creating moments of positive self realization.
Jason and I woke our asses up early this beautiful Saturday morning to go join Weight Watchers. Yes, this is a good thing! The problem is: as soon as the meeting was over, we went through McDonald's drive through for breakfast! I don't even like McDonald's! (Well...I do enjoy a Mcgriddle, whomever invented those should be shot).
I have definitely made the first step and am proud of that...but really? McDonald's?
*sigh*
Well I've added my 13 point breakfast to my list and will not dwell on it. At least I ate breakfast! That is rare!
Ok accountability time: I've gained 40lbs since losing my job and moving to Silver Spring. I worked really hard before and have just gained back all the hard work. Again...not dwelling...just move forward and change!

How great is that? I really really want to be a part of this. Not that my life is anymore interesting than the next person (hence my 1 follower on this blog! haha) but I still think it would be awesome to be a part of it.
Hopefully this works...I've tried to embed video's before and wasn't so successful. Anyways, this is a "trailer" for the wedding video for my cousin Brian & his beautiful wife Alexis's wedding. How cool is that? It was a beautiful day...enjoy.
Who would've thought that there would be some "food for thought" in a snickers bar! How funny!
I am currently in Florida for my cousins wedding. I went swimming today for the first time this summer! It extremely hot here and I was sort of hoping for a refreshing dip, but alas, the water was about 90 degrees! I'm sure there will be more pictures to follow!
