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.
