Time has no essence

And I suck at making titles.

So this is my first post this summer, and summer is almost over. My life is flashing away right before my eyes and I don't even realize it. The days go by like sand through an hourglass, and at times I don't even seem to notice their passing. My life seems to routine, there is no change, no variation. Always the same, very little change. I don't know, I can hardly voice what I'm thinking anymore.

So recap of the summer for my invisible readers and those who happen to come to my blog through random search engines.

So in May Green Day finally released their 10th album and I of course bought it. It is so awesome, but I'll say that I don't think its quite as good as American Idiot, but still awesome. Its nice to hear some new music from them guys, Billie Joe is such a great lyricist, he really knows how to speak through his music. Green Day is still my all-time favorite band and I sincerely hope they never care what anybody thinks about them and keep on rockin. I did happen to get tickets to see Green Day in Chicago but at the last minute my main ride and my back-up ride had to ditch me due to some things so I didn't get to see them. Fortunately I'm a pessimist and I had a feeling from the moment I bought the tickets that something would happen and I wouldn't be able to go. So no hard feelings on anybody, but I'm stealing my parent's car to see them next spring for sure. hehehehe..........

I just realized I haven't bought any new CDs since May, I need some new music. Huh.

So since I needed a bit more variation in my life I started taking riding(well, horse training) lessons from a friend. She's learning piano from me in exchange, so its not a bad deal. Unfortunately, this has ignited a long dormant passion for horses, which is quite unquenchable. So since my parents won't allow me to have a horse, and I can't afford one, I have to wait until after college before I can consider getting a horse. I'm having fun with the groundtraining though, I'm working with Arabians which are such amazing and beautiful animals. I'm learning Parelli Natural Horsemanship which is a very awesome program, I honestly don't know why more people don't use it. Its very enlightening to learn about horse behavior and actions.

So, I went to the WI State Fair to see my 2nd best friend. Its funny that its only the second time I've met her. She's an awesome person and we had a great time. Kind of funny that the only thing at the WI SF is food and beer. I did get to see the Budwieser Clydesdales, which were very awesome. Here's a pic of Katherine and I
So anyway, went to a few other fairs, ate a bunch of junk food, etc etc, normal summer stuff I guess.

I've been turning and idea over in my head for sometime about writing a book so I've finally taken initiative and so I've started writing one. Its sort of a cheesy teenage romance novel with a couple murder twists thrown in. I don't really like it but I'm just writing it to prove to myself that I can do it. I've got much much better horror stories on the drawing board though.

And finally I want to close this on a very personal note. This summer, my BFF and sister Brenna ran away from home so that she could be with the love of her life. I don't know if you'll ever read this Brenna, but I want you to know how I feel.

I love you as a best friend and sister Brenna, you are the closest thing to a sister I've ever had. I want you to know that I'm not judging what you did, because I know you did what you thought was best for you and you did what you wanted, not what somebody else wanted. I would never judge you, because you never judged me. You were there for me when I was down, you made me laugh, you inspired me to be who I wanted to be, not what everybody else thought I should. If you don't want to be my friend anymore I completely understand and respect your decision.

Happy Mother's Day!

Ok, so my mom always bitches that I or my brother's don't do anything for her for mothers day(or she complains if we do) so I decided I'd write her a poem this year. I think its extremely corny but feel free to use it as a free gift on your mother =D

To my mother
Because you are unlike any other
Even though it sometimes seems that I hate you
You and I both know that is really not true
I know that you care about me
And see things in a way that I don't see
I know that you always care
Even when you don't seem fair
You've loved me even before I knew how to crawl
And you were there almost every time I would fall
You've taught me there is more to life than what there appears to be
And to always take care of those around me
I say this because you are my mother
A mother unlike any other


Ps, that is a really bad pic of my mom, I wish i had a better one =P

Fire

On an evening such as this
It never ceases to bring me bliss
For my eyes never seem to tire
To see the dusky sky all on fire

The sun has burned out in all her glory
Ending the day like a story
Dreamlike as the sky seems to be
Oh what a sight i love to see!

Long after the sun has went to bed
The sky is still hued with orange and red
Yet it still continues to burn with all its might
As a glorious prelude to the coming night

Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown

Happy Easter

So this week is Holy Week, also known as Easter Week. I always find it funny how society wants to try their damnedest to keep religion out of things. Easter is a perfect example. Next to Christmas, Easter is another big spending holiday but nobody wants to admit that it was and still is a religious holiday to begin with. I mean, how the fuck do you get a freakin' bunny to be the symbol for Easter when that has nothing to do with Christ's rising from the dead? Its like have Santa Claus at Christmas, or Valentines Day, or St. Patrick's Day. The latter of which has nothing to do with getting drunk on a weekday and should really only be celebrated properly by Catholics or people of Irish heritage because St. Patrick was not a drunken idiot, he was a SAINT! Are people seriously that afraid of offending non-Christians that we cannot celebrate Christian holidays for what they really are about? Not about bunnies, Santa, drinking, or stupid hallmark cards, but the religious ideals and beliefs that we are supposed to celebrate? I'm surprised they haven't pulled the Happy Holidays crap at Easter. People suck.

I will say though, those Reese's peanut butter eggs are kick ass.

Oh, would somebody please tell me since when do bunnies lay eggs???? Why???? and how?????

Screw it.

Happy Easter everybody.

Fish

You know I've never understood why you're not allowed to eat meat on Fridays during lent. I mean, fish could technically be considered meat, but we're still allowed to eat it on Fridays in place of meat. Seems oxymoronish.

Okay, I'm out of topics to write about so I asked my cousin Bri and she says I should write about Waffles vs. Pancakes. Mmmmm.......they sound good, I need to eat some, haven't had them in a while.

Ok well lets see, I myself an a pancake person who lives in a house of waffle people. I think pancakes are superior because you can make them as big or as little as you want and no two pancakes are alike. Not to mention pancakes can sop up like ten times the amount of syrup that waffles can. Waffles tend to be overcooked and crunchy, although the little holes in it are helpful for holding butter and syrup. I hear Belgian waffles are supposed to be like really awesome but I've never had them. Waffles are just to square and boring, they all look alike, bleck. Too conformed to the rest of the breakfast cake society, pancakes are individualistic! Not to mention pancakes always come with that huge ass dollop of butter on top.

Of course pancakes are superior, and anybody wanting to challenge that can make their own fucking breakfast.

Life is life

Why is it every time I'm in church I always want to do something that is so inappropriate? Like burst out in random laughter or pick my nose. Yeah, I'm gross and weird. Church seems to be a contest to see who can stay awake the longest. Or if you sit next to my dad trying not to laugh when he acts like a two year old sitting next to you. I was sick to my stomach tonight, I sat next to a lady who was covered in three different kinds of perfume but that still couldn't cover up the fact that she was a smoker. And my nose always itches when I'm in front of people, never any other time. And I've come to accept the fact that yes I probably have lipstick on my teeth but I can't see it but everybody else can and that is so freakin annoying. Also the fact that there are no such thing as comfortable heels, they all make your feet swell but you have to sacrifice feet swelling to look somewhat better and a few inches taller.

Oh I can't wait for this snow storm thats coming at us. Seven inches and its almost April, how lovely. And the grass just started to green up, damn it.

I'm too critical lately, I need, hmmmm......I don't know what I need.
