Birtday Bash

Sometimes I swear that every year older I get two things seem apparent:



First, I somehow party harder with less of a hangover the next morning. Over the years I thought it was due to me drinking more and building up my tolerance, but these last few months I really haven't drank at all so that can't be it.



Second, I don't seem to really age any more either. I look at pictures from a couple of years ago, I am seem to still look just like I did then. It's not like I am complaining at all, it's just something that came to my attention while reminiscing about previous birthdays and their highlights.



So my 29th turned out to be a pretty good one and I must say I haven't laughed like that in a long time, it was so much that my abs and cheek muscles hurt for a few days afterwards. The one part that absolutely amazed everyone is that I started early, stayed out late, and even had a little bit of an after hours for everyone. The only problems were figuring out how to get up the stairs without falling too much.

Purity of Children

Have you ever sat down and really watched how children interact different in various situations and environments. I was noticing the other day how my "mexican" (yes she's okay that I call her this) friends' youngest son acts when he is home and how he is when it is just him and I with no one else around. It's like he is a completely different little boy; at one point he is like that little red-headed step child and then with me he turns into a sweet little angel who just wants to be a cute as possible. I mean he came over and didn't get into anything that he shouldn't have, just had a snack, played with the cat, and then upstairs to explore the rest of the house. It was actually relieving because I have seen him tare apart a house faster than you would know what to do to stop him. But no, not here; he put everything back exactly how he found it and was very polite (though he always uses his "p's" and "q's").
So anyway, I just sat back for once and watched him and didn't attempt to join in while he played with the toys. He made up his own games about whatever was going through his mind and looked absolutely content. At this time it made me feel all warm and fuzzy to see something so pure and innocent, in his element. This is when I truly realized that this is what happiness is about and not everything else we as adults, think it is; with our brand names, over-priced coffee, and designer sports cars; all just to impress the next person passing by.
Children truly have it all figured out on what they want and what makes them the happiest. You could take them to Wal-Mart and get them a new pair of light up sneakers for half the price at a higher end store, and they wouldn't care because the lights were what they really wanted and didn't care where they come from. It's when the adults in their lives start pressing how labels are everything, that things start to loose value.
To get back on track; at some point, look at a child, I mean really look; who is off playing by themselves (or with others) and see how happy they are. It's something I think if we do more often then we will realize that they are much smarter than we give them credit for and if we try to imitate the things they do, then we too will be happier and less stressed over the little things in life.

New Light

As I am slowly getting better at navigating around at others blogs, I've come to realize that so many people put great thought into everything they write and what it is that they are talking about. It has given me more of a need to try and lighten up someones day, even if that means just a smile, by writing some fun things to share with everyone...I must admit though, I'm a bit confused and lost at what to write about, but I'm sure it'll come to me at some point. If anyone has suggestions about what they'd like to read coming from my point of view, then by all means I would love to hear them.

Just Some Quotes..pessimistic today...

Don't ever tell someone all your secrets because than they never are secrets again.

Never make someone your everything, because some day when they are gone, you are left with nothing.

Keep those that you trust close but those you don't even closer to protect yourself.

If you let your guard down once, it could be the end, so always make sure the person you let it down for is completely worth it.

Smile when you don't feel like it because it makes others wonder what you are thinking.

Just be you, don't fake, cheat, or steal life because it could be just as fake as you are pretending to be.

Random Acts of Kindness

Have you ever walked down the street and really looked at the people you pass by?
It seems more and more there are more people who look they are having a horrible day and just want someone to take it out on. I've come to realize that the simplest acts of kindness can really go a long way. It's like the commercial (for what I'm not sure), on t.v. that shows a lady stopping a guy from crossing the street as a car races by, and in turn someone sees this and helps another in the next clip, and so on....
I recently tried this theory to see if something I do can help another out and hopefully make others aware of the little "gifts" you can give to complete strangers. Even if it is a simple hello or opening someones door, it can make a big difference in that persons entire day. You may not see this person ever again but most likely they will in turn extend those simple courtesy to a stranger and so forth. The simpleness of pay it forward.
So next time you are walking down a busy city street or on the quaint little town streets, try to just give a simple smile to someone you pass and know that you just brought a warm feeling to someone who may have needed more than you know.

Hints?

So exactly what about you are not allowed here on the weekends mean?
No I will not give you my passwords, what emergency is that great that you need to be here?
Hey I'm just telling you what was said to me....what don't you understand exactly?

Yep! Over and over this is what has been made to tell a women who is supposed to be this brilliant type of human being but yet can't understand a concept as this...I mean come on it is all laid out in plain English for you....

Maybe things have changed, can you leave your passwords out for me to use?
NO!

Where do you keep the list of how to get in your computer?
In my head!I

s there a way to just keep it between us that your ARE giving me your access codes?
NO!

So over and over this goes on for an extended of time...come on these are no longer considered hints at this point are they? At some point most would have given up or at least taken it to another source with the hope of better luck...

So, I can't remember where you told me your passwords were, can you remind me?
I didn't tell you!

Well how about you make a copy of them for me?
NO!

So as not get redundant and out of control the best bet was to just get up and walk away from the whole situation before words came flying out of the mouth with no hopes of going back and no way to stop mid rant and rave!

The Red Boys!

So the whole curse of the unmentionable must have gone out the window! Once again the boys in red have shown that they are a force to be taken seriously and will give it their all the get what the came for. Yes I will agree that they started out great and then started on a journey downhill (though short) with the boys in blue almost over taking them, but eventually got their crap together and realized what needed to be done. As an avid fan of the red boys I must commend their wits and dedication of never giving up....Way to go SOX!!!!!!


This year is proving to be a good year for all our New England teams...with the Sox taking the cup once again and the Patriots on their was to another title.

Upfront and Honesty...is it the key?

Oh but by those standards I have done all that you have asked
You wanted me to tell you all that is
From the prettiest down to the ugliest
Do not retract your words in such a manner

Contradiction is something as to not be used
Let the honesty come out and face thee
From the deepest part of our being
Please just let it be said

Do not throw that sorrow cry to feel guilty
It was not meant to be this way
The tears are to be dried and gone
It was the choice to always be upfront

Never dwell on that is and was
Let the light shine from that of within
Remember that all that will be is meant for you
Pick up that head and learn that upfront and honesty may not be the key!
