Sunset walks on the beach

I adore taking pictures. I took this picture on the bay near the fishing pier a couple weeks ago. I love to go for a walk during the sunset. The colors are absoultly prestine and soulful. Again as i have stated before in prevoius blogs, nature is amazing. There is nothing like digging your toes in the wet sand, with a cold drink watching the sunset with someone you love. Nothing beats it.

Strawberry Picking

Isn`t this strawberry so cool! It looks like a little foot to me! :). My mom went out strawberry picking out in pungo and i think this is my favortie strawberry yet! We haven`t eaten it because it`s way to cool to do that too! When i was younger i remember always going picking with my mom,dad,and sister. They would always make us look like we were picking a strawberry as they took our picture. Fun times i wish i was a carefree kid again.

Relax

I have been relaxing all day! I love to spend time just sitting out on the porch looking out on the lake in our backyard. Nature is such a beautiful thing and you have to treasure each moment that you have on this amazing earth.

Getting Blood Drawn

So this morning i had to go and get my blood drawn all by myself! Yes, I am an adult and should be capable of doing so on my own but i get so nervous! It`s this little needle that feels like little sharp teeth sucking your blood out. The thought makes me feel faint and sick to my stomach. I am glad and proud of myself that i got it done though! It is over and i did it all by myself!

Public Speaking Giggles.

So i just did a presentation for my astronomy class. I am usually so outgoing and not shy at all. When i got up to the front of the classroom i got the giggles, and could not stop laughing. It was the most horrfic thing! I had to really focus on something bad to get myself to stop laughing. It`s werid all the fears you can have.

Daddy

My Father is one of the most special people to me in the whole wide world. I know that sometimes he doesn`t think or feel how much i care and think of him, but i do. He carries himself with such a greatness. Hes tall,handsome and i can talk to him about anything, and when i say anything i mean it. He understands where i am coming from and gives great advice. He makes me feel like i have the power to do anything i set my mind to. He is my father, my daddy, my best friend. He will always be there for me and i know that! I can count on him no matter what. Hes there to give me a hug when i need it and the smell of his cologne makes me sigh with relief. I love my dad, always have, always will.

Happy

The weather is warm, im so happy with where my life is right now! Its such a great feeling to be happy, and everyone should beable to be as happy as i am now. Although i dont have any money in my pocket. I have people that love me, an amazing house to live in. I relize its the little things in life that count.

School is...

I never knew how hard college work would be. Whether i accidently miss an assignment or have trouble well i am doing it. I want to do the work more than anything, i mean after all your paying for your education. It is just sometimes very hard to handle the workload when you have so much other stuff going on. I think next semester I will be able to handle myself better and really get focaused. After all i did skip the 5th grade! :).

What does your favorite color mean?

So i`ve been into what things mean latley. My favorite color is yellow. I love the "springyness" to it. It is such a happy color. And this is what it means.


The shade of yellow determines the meaning. Pure, bright and sunny yellow is the easiest color to see. People who are blind to other colors can usually see yellow. Yellow is full of creative and intellectual energy. Always use yellow note pads.

Yellow symbolizes wisdom. Yellow means joy and happiness. People of high intellect favor yellow. Yellow daffodils are a symbol of unrequited love. Sunday's color is yellow-gold.

Yellow Energy
Like the energy of a bright sunny day, yellow brings clarity and awareness. The shade of yellow determines its effect: Yellow-green can mean deceit, and creates a disoriented feeling. Orange-yellow imparts a sense of establishment. Clean light yellow clears the mind, making it active and alert.

Put some yellow in your life when you want:

clarity for decision-making
relief from 'burnout', panic, nervousness, exhaustion
sharper memory and concentration skills
protection from lethargy and depression during dull weather

Feeling like a kid again

Do you ever feel like your growing up too fast? I do. With everything i have to do, have a job, tons of papers and assignments, wondering about bills,. I always have enjoyed the television show arthur. The ardvark show created by Marc Brown. It takes me back to when i was little and didnt have a care in the world. I just knew at 7am i could watch my show. I often enjoy sitting on the couch with a bowl of icecream watching this show. For the 30 minutes that I am watching Arthur, I have not a care in the world.

Lactose Intolerant

I just found out i am Lactose Intolerant. After having the worst stomach aches and feeling so nauseous after eating cheese or eggs. So i cannot eat any of that now. Which has cut out so much for me. I am also a vegetarian and don't eat meat, so now it is very hard to find healthy food to eat that is also enjoyable.

Warm Weather

So it has been a gorgeous weekend. I have been at the beach with my friends, and playing cornhole everyday. I love this weather. To feel the warm sun glistening upon your skin and the sound of laughter and food. It is Easter today and i am getting ready to cook up some yummy food with my mom. I am so thankful for life.

My Mom

My Mother is one of the most important people to me. She is so strong and has been through so much; so much that if i were here i would've given up. My mother has taught me to be kind and always give thanks with a grateful heart, to be loving,kind, and respectful no matter what the circumstance may be. My mother Cynthia is working to get her masters degree and i have so much respect for her, i just hope that one day i can have the strength that she has, although i don't believe she thinks she has that strength she does and always will. I am so glad that she is my mother. Thanks for everything Mom.

Into The Wild

I just watched the movie Into the Wild; it was an adventure movie and was moving. It was a true story about a man named Chris who decided to travel and go to Alaska and just go. Burn your IDs, birth certificate, social security and just live out in the wild by yourself. Just Live with no one but yourself and those you meet. He writes about his journeys and tells you if you want something to reach out and grab it.

Piercing

It may sound odd, but the feeling of getting a new piercing is such an amazing feeling. I just got my industrial piercing the other week. Although it bled profusely and by far the most painful one i have ever gotten. It is now healing and i love it.

Remember Me

Remember Me just came out in theaters last Friday. My sister,mom, and i went to go see it last night. It was such a wonderful movie. This film was extremely well directed. Although it is not your typical love story, its better than that. I didn`t want to do a "movie review" because i always give so much away. This would be a great movie to go see with anyone. A heartfelt, moving, cynical love story.

Summer

So is any one as ready for summer as I am? This cold weather is really bumming me out. The icy wind and the cold ground is getting old. I want to walk on the warm sand and have the sun kiss my face all day. I want to wake up in the morning back some ice cold drinks, sandwiches and get my bathing suit on, get my surfboard and off to the beach till the sunsets. Those are the days i look forward to. I Can`t wait and i am counting down the days till I'm at the beach all day.

RELAY FOR LIFE

My sister is an executive for the Virginia Tech relay for life program. I am so proud of her, it takes a lot of work, time and effort to do this. Relay for life is a fundraising event for the American cancer society. People walk for 12 hours, on teams staying up all night to raise money for cancer research. I really admire the work people put forth to do this.

Oppossum

Every night at about 9pm a large opossum comes onto our back porch and eats all our cats food. I know i shouldn't be feeding him because they will come back, but to me hes adorable. My dogs breathe heavily at the glass sliding doors. Their hot breath ferociously fogging the glass as they howl. I love to see him, he has fierce teeth and an odd nose but is an interesting little critter.

Saints!!!

I absolutely love the saints and they have been my team forever. I am so glad that they fought so hard to get to the superbowl and win! Everyone one doubted the Saints and thought they just got there by luck. This was there first time to the superbowl ever and they won! Congrats to tracey porter who made the interception that won the game. Drew Brees is awesome, and i respect the team for everything they did, when hurricane Katrina came.

Being a Vegan

Ever since i was born i have been raised a vegetarian or vegan, for the 18 years of my life. A vegan doesn't eat any kind of dairy, cheese,eggs,milk,yogurt. A vegetarian just doesn't eat meat of any kind including fish. A lot of people think that's weird,and what do i only eat salad? I actually loathe salad. You can find many different types of morning star farm products, that I've heard taste just like meat. I eat lots of soy and tofu products as well. I am a vegetarian for not just health reasons but for ethical ones too. I believe that I am not important enough for some poor animal to have to die, so i can eat it. My taste buds will be greeted with healthy flavorful food not with bloody parts of animals. I know this may sound harsh, but its what i believe.

Surfing

Surfing is such an important part of my life. It`s the only way i can relive my stress. When you get out on the water, the sun shining on your back, you feel so empowered to get that next wave. When you see the wave coming, you start paddling like its your last wave. The feeling when your up on those waves carving and soaring through the water is amazing. I'm so glad that my dad taught me how to surf when i was young. Its the best adrenaline rush for me.

Memories

These are the angel wings that i got tattooed on the back of the neck. I chose these wings after my kitten died. He was killed by one of my dogs. I have never seen such a sight of violence in my whole life. I will always remember him. His name was Marley, and was one of the most mellow, loving animals i have ever had. I will never forget him.

My Cousin

My cousin has been such an influential part of my life. She just moved down to Virginia Beach to live with me. She has taught me it is okay to be myself, and be strong in every situation. She always is real and honest and i really look up to her for that. There is such a joy and happiness that fills my heart whenever I'm with her. She makes me feel comfortable and happy. She is not only my cousin but a sister, and my best friend. I don't know what i would do without her.

Music

So i just realized that i have been needing to be posting twice i week. I am new at this online thing. :( so i am going to do another post today.



Music is such an important part of my life. When ever you hear a song or lyric that moves you, it can give you chills up your spines. The feelings of music can make you thrilled, overjoyed,depressed, but yet all these feelings are amazing. This is a song that i love to listen to all the time.

Snow Days '10

The snow storm was amazing huh? I cant believe it has been 20 years since it has snowed like that in VB. I had many snowball fights, went sledding in my old neighborhood, and even went snowboarding. When you wake up in the morning and see the ground covered in a white blanket of snow, you feel like a kid again. The best things about snow days are; relaxing with the ones you love, hot chocolate, and a nice warm fireplace.
