From the mind of the whipper snap.

Hello everyone :) This blog is going to focus mainly on my trip to the "Big Apple" aka New York City! I have been fortunate enough to have visited NYC twice now. Once in March of 2010 for a week and this time Aug. 20 - Aug. 24. The first time I stayed in Queens - Long Island City and this time we stayed in Manhattan - right on Times Square! Where a lot of the hussle and bussle takes place, but really, it is a huge tourist area. All of the big gigantic screens make it look so neat. We got to our hotel room and were able to look right down onto Times Square, which was fabulous. The city was our "night light". Onto the activities... Day 1: We arrived in NYC around 11:30am. From there on we visited the 9/11 Memorial, which was beautiful and obviously sad. Then, we headed to Chinatown and Little Italy. We ate a Chinese restaurant and I had General Tao's chicken. It was authentic, so it tasted a little different and they egg rolls were HUGE. We ended up having g

I don't know who reads my blog and nor do I care. I have never been one to care much what other people have thought of me, anyway, but at this juncture in my life, I really don't care. Little things have been going on lately that are really getting under my skin and it had me thinking that in all the things that I have done in my short 22 years of life, I do not regret a thing - not a damned thing. Not even the times I should have walked away from different people in my life and to stop giving out 2nd and 8th chances. I managed to stay in a relationship with a guy who lived overseas for 5 years and it was not ideal at all, but I do not regret it. I dropped out of college because I didn't think I could handle it and had I stayed in, I would be graduated by now versus not even yet having my associates, but alas, I do not regret the decision I made to quit. Not to toot my own horn, but why can't more people be like that? Why can't people grab life and their decisions b

I have posted so much more since I had my heart broken, ha ha. My carpel tunnel is growing day by day. I wanted to write a blog yesterday because when I was mowing the yard I had all of these awesome thoughts, but of course half of them are lost in my mind right now. One of my friends said the other day, "I think everyone should have their heart broken at least once because it builds character." She may be onto something. Not that I would enjoy to see anyone go through the pain that I went through or the pain I have witnessed in my other friends, but it's definitely an eye-opener. I consider myself to be a realist, which some people consider to be an asshole, but really I just come to grips with the truth. One thing I was thinking about when I was mowing yesterday was how we should treat our ex boyfriends and girlfriends. So many people try to avoid one another or they do not have very nice things to say about one another. I know that I have dropped "that son of a bi
