No Way Jose!

I think I'm on the break of something,
Or I think I might break or something.
There's something in the water,
Something lurking beneath my feet.
My insanity maybe.
Who am I kidding, I'm not crazy.

SOS

You can't be lost if you don't know where you're going right?

Tisk Tisk Tisk

Today I ran into my friend Eddie. I haven't seen him since he graduated high school leaving me there to fend for myself. Ah starbucks, the wonders you accomplish. Two creative butt heads foolin around, can't wait to reunite our brains and wee what they produce. :)

4:14 A.M.

I wouldn't have to put am if we all used military time, but we don't so I do. What am I doing awake right now? I took a nap around 8, woke up at 12 and I've been up since. I need to get back to a normal sleeping pattern, I haven't done anything productive laying here. Today was kind of a weird Tuesday, it felt more like a no-day instead of a week day. It's like one of those days that has nothing to do with that day, like nothing about today was Tuesday-like. Kind of like those days in high school where it felt like you were there on a Saturday. Nothing is outstandingly abnormal, but it certainly isn't normal either. I'm just delirious. It's a side effect from being awake at this hour. My parents are going to be gone all day Saturday, I'm taking full advantage. I'm going to wake up early and blast some female empowering music. And some not so female empowering (but very fun to dance to) music as well. I'll probably invite a few friends over...or not. The possibilities are endless and certainly not rated PG.

We're Gonna Be The Next WIld Thornberrys

How insane would that be? Take that America, I'm not doing your nine to five bull s**t. I'm going to Africa to study elephants and to Alaska to study to musk ox. It'll be me and hunny, changing the world one Discovery channel viewer at a time.

Frozen planet!!

If you're not watching this you're nuts! The shots they captured are INCREDIBLE! They had these owls that ate a lemming in one bite and these bulls that ambushed a pair of wolves trying to find a meal for their babies. Muskox fighting for females, some fighting till death. Nuts!!!!

"Never forget, question everything and make the familiar strange!!"

Gas prices

They've literally gone up 20 cents shy of a dollar since I broke my leg and stop driving two months ago. It's nuts to think how fast things change in such a short period of time. It makes me want to stop driving altogether but it's a good thing my car is tiny and has good gas mileage.

The Different Animals I Would Be

Sometimes I wish i were a cat. I would gather the little birdies that fell on the floor and return them to their nest. I would stretch all day cause I'm sure it feels great. I would still eat human food because it's delicious. I would climb trees and jump on people walking by, cause let's be honest, that would be hilarious. I wonder if my brain could fit inside of a cats head. Being a frog seems like fun too. I would eat flies and go RIBBET! I would also blink one eye at a time, I saw a frog do it once and it looked like fun. I guess I would be a birdie also, so I could thank the cat that saved me by putting me back in my nest. There are these birds that make their nest out of spit. YUK! Imagine a human being doing that? How would we react? Humans....working so hard to act like robots.

Mis Hermanos

I miss my older brothers. One lives in Georgia, Aldo, and the other in Michigan, Juan. Right now Aldo is in Michigan visiting Juan and I totally wish I was there. My brothers mean the world to me. They're both Marines and both served two tours over seas, politics aside, protecting our country. That was probably one of the hardest times in my  families life. I still remember when Juan told my mom he was joining, and it still makes me want to cry. Laugh out loud. It's been over four years they've been home safe and I couldn't be more grateful. I'm hoping to go see them this summer. We'll see how it goes.

I'm like A Pirate With A Peg Leg

My doctor's appointment was a total success. I finally got my cast removed! I thought they were gonna keep it on for another couple of weeks but they took it off!! YES! They gave me a boot to walk in so I'll still be on crutches but only until I get used to walking again. It's nuts, I'm like learning to walk all over again. Should be interesting...

By the way, my leg looks SO weird. It's super skinny because my muscles shrank and all weird colors. I'll put up a picture as soon as it stops looking all creepy.

Doctor's Appointment!

I have one today at four! I am excited!!! I am hoping she will tell me I could finally start putting weight on my foot. I want this road to recovery to hurry up!!! I want to exercise and move around! I just want to not be broken anymore. Let's see, there are a few things I have to let her know. I fell walking up the stairs and landed right on my broken leg. I have also kind of been putting my foot down to balance. I've knocked into it a few times, too. Dang, she's going to totally kick my butt!!!! I've really tried to take care of it though. Oh, wanna know something gross? I stuck my hand in my cast the other day and I could feel the scab where my tibia was sticking out of my skin. Yuck!

Michael Shmichael!

This is my best friend, Michael. He's totally a nut ball! We could be talking for only two minutes and have already had ten different conversations. Not because we try to, in fact, we try to stick to less than three topics but it never works out. We're like old farts together. We forget everything, get lost going down the street, and we love to complain about the culture of today's youth. I've seen him transform from shy little Michael, to not so shy older Michael. Laugh out loud. We're on a mission to change everyone's mind about everything. We're not half full or half empty, we threw our cups away.

Something Sweet

I had a very long day, there were places to go with things to do and an essay due at 6:45. My class got out early but my boyfriend's did not and he was my ride home. I also don't have a phone so I couldn't text him. I almost fell a few times, being uncoordinated plus having a broken leg equals a bad situation. Also, I can't really clean my room very well so my clothes get all over the floor. Well I got home from school today and what do I see? My room is clean! My bed was done, my floor was swept, and the dirty dishes gone. I guess my mom cleaned it while I was at school. I can't explain how happy it made me, it made everything okay. Muchos besos para mi mama :) Lot's of kisses for my mom :)

I've been here, there, and at that one place.

Here is at my house, the place I grew up in. I've sat in the hallway between my parents room and my own and found it incredibly easy to feel like I was seven years old again. I've been in the bathroom where, surprisingly, my sister and I have had some of our deepest conversations.I've walked in and out of the kitchen, which was remodeled, ridden of old cabinets and old memories. Finally in the safest place of all, I was in my own bed where there are enough pillows for three, maybe four, two blankets and Wumby, my monkey.

The there is at my boy friend Brendan's house. I climbed up and down his staircase, hoping my crutches would not give out on me. I sat on his bed with my broken leg doing homework while he danced around making me laugh. I was his queen and he my jester.

That one place is the park. A few caring friends, a few conspiracy theories, and a lot of laughs. The government is reading our thoughts, subliminally making us conform. Everything is going crazy and there is tension in the air. The 1% is mocking us from their yachts and private islands. We're crazy and young and have everything to question. Why not?

I'm serious!

I can't get to the internet anywhere! It's friday night everybody! I'm totally happy to be able to express how much Fun I'm having! Friends hanging out. I have the sweetest boyfriend, an amazing sister, and her boyfriend who isn't a jackass. I have my parents and three older brothers, my older sister, and my twin. I have fun. Have a good friday!

Hello?

I have been disconnected from the rest of the world for three days. My house phone is down and so is the internet. Oh, and I don't have a cell phone. I've got to get with the program! I'm out of the loop! I'm using my boyfriends computer so I can't copy and paste the shenanigans I've been writing on my computer. I guess I could have brought my lap top, but I didn't think to..... Oh well.

Things I remember :
There's a man who said he couldn't manage with "only" making $306,000 a year. Is he joking??!! I am not okay with that America.

Tom and Jerry is my FAVORITE SHOW! I remember watching it with my dad when I was a little kid. It is a nice memory to look back on.

Mumbo Jumbo

My brother is studying at the University of Michigan for his PhD in mechanical engineering. FREAKING GENIUS! I'm totally proud of him but geez, set the bar high much? Anyways, I was talking to him the other day and he told me he was walking in snow! I was shocked! All I had on were shorts, a tank top, and a light sweater and I was fine! I had forgotten winter was still winter in other states. Gah, California, you spoiled me with sunshine and lack of drastic seasonal changes. Oh well, I'll just have to be satisfied with awesome weather all the time. :) Totally kidding, I'm ready to graduate from this pretend weather into some real stuff. I want rain and I want lots of it! I want to be snowed in and eat cereal all day. I should stop wanting and do something about it.

Time Capsule

One day your hair is black, the next day it's blue. When I was four I wanted to be a rock star and today I'm lucky if I know what I want for breakfast. Things are constantly changing outside and I'm looking at it through my window. I'm in a time capsule. The fragments of time I'm in the real world aren't enough. There's too much to catch up with. The air outside tastes funny. The hairs on my neck stand up when the sun hits it and I'd forgotten how amazing that feels. As fast as I remember, I'm shoved back in my capsule to dwell on the memories I try so hard to revive. I lay in bed waiting for my dreams to get the best of me as I slowly become more and more like the Mad Hatter.

Sodium Something Something

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is the ingredient found in shampoos said to make mixtures foam well.  I believe SLS should be removed from shampoo for all of its negative repercussions. It is said to leave behind residues in the heart, liver, lungs, and brain through contact with your skin. These are the last things I expected to happen through a process that is supposed to be leaving me clean. None of these side effects are on the label and I feel like I'm being taken advantage of. If no one takes a stand to change the ingredients, then company's alike will keep finding cheap harmful ways to fool us into buying their products.
