^^^^^^ Just some eye-candy for you.. =)I want to start this morning by posting a video that recently hit YouTube... It was made by two girls who go to high school in Bolivar, NY: the pin size town where I also attended high school. It's basically about how trashy the town is. So to everyone who thinks "Wow, your from NY?! Did you love living there?" and think that just because I'm from NY I don't know anything about trashy rednecks... this will show you, that you are wrong. I think NY has more small, scummy, redneck towns than many people think. This video is funny.. the song is funny.. all because it is sooo true. soo.. Enjoy!

Last night, I had a conversation that has kept me thinking all morning. I talked to a.. well.. lets say, friend.. about things that are stressing him out (I've had a couple friends lately who have decided I am the one to come to about stress issues). Hes the type of guy who doesn't talk about anything serious.. let alone anything that may be bothering him.. and that was just something I knew and didn't press the issue. Last night was a different story. He has his own personal issues that to many are not a big deal. But, to him, they are/were life changing.
We all have our own fears. Things that pull on our shirt, and tap on our shoulder that bother only us. Its hard to think of what bothers others, especially if its something we find inconsequential. Often, no matter how considerate of others we try to be, we ignore the things that bother others. We say things, do things, not do/say things that get under others skin and hurt other peoples feelings without even realizing it. Last night, while my friend was telling me the things that ail him.. I started thinking to myself "oh my gosh, I had no idea. I said something last night that I bet bothered him." Can I help that? no. But.. It makes me see how.. unintentionally hurtful or inconsiderate we can all be sometimes. Its not something we can help. It is however something that can remind us that we are not alone in our worries. There are many people who feel the same way. On the other hand, there are other people who have other issues. Bigger issues. There are so many things that can worry someone, so many actions, words, even thoughts that hurt people everyday.
His issues in particular are.. understandably upsetting him. Because of this particular "issue" of his, he has made decisions that have changed his life. He is now making decisions, because of this same issue, that could change his future life. I tried, somewhat successfully, to give him at least the confidence in me, that he has someone who understands and will listen.
Maybe that whole rant made sense. It prolly didn't.. but this is my point: Just because someone has a problem that you, personally don't understand or deem an issue, doesn't mean it shouldn't be taken with as much sensitivity and understanding you would hope to receive had the tables been turned. A persons understanding can change an0ther persons outlook so tremendously, it passes before we even know it. There are people everyday who reach out for a friend, or a listener and they get turned down. There are people everyday who are told that their issues are unimportant. It kinda breaks my heart.

^^ So that was my night. It was... good tho. A conversation I have been needing to have with this particular friend for a while.
-We are out of coffee. So that has given me the feeling that something just isn't right all morning.
-I actually have work to do today.. but I am putting it off... so I have something to do after lunch (I'm a big time procrastinator)
-My dad will be here in less than two months. This is something I will not be able to prepare myself for... but its something I think about often. I get nervous and I think about what could happen and always fail to think about the good things that can happen and focus on the bad. Not healthy, I know. But I can't help it. A good experience has yet to pass me by when it comes to my dad (hence my "daddy" issues)... but I am hoping for the best!!
-I am STARVING!!! Mexican sounds... delicious. I love Mexican food. I don't care how unhealthy it is. Which also reminds me... I thank you, God, for giving me a high metabolism. Lets just hope it sticks around for a while.. forever if you would like. One less thing we have to worry about.
-My four year old brother has decided that he wants to be a singer when he grows up. To practice he will willingly sing any song that he knows for a listening audience. Well, who am i kidding, he will sing to a non-listening audience. But its cute. adorable. You can't understand a word he says.. but its funny. So, after an introduction from mom, he will sing for you... and one day.. he will be famous.
-Something I wonder: Why do people make their facebook picture one where they are making out with their significant other? just wondering.
-I neeeeed some coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ugh. The one drug I'm addicted to.. and I don't have it. REALLY?!?! (nicotine doesn't count.. I
-I miss my mom.
-I want a new job.
ITS ALMOST THE WEEKEND!!!! WOO HOO!!!!
