the ugly yellow vest

France has created a new safety law from drivers, in which all cars must carry yellow triangles and a yellow vest at all times. I found this new ad, using fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld to support the law, quite amusing.

Translation:  It’s yellow, it’s ugly, it doesn’t go with anything (else), but it can save your life.

age is just a number

I was training for cashiering today and Geoff was next to me training someone for bartending, so I got to listen to him a lot and get information. I told him I wanted to learn bartending as soon as possible, to which one of the cooks laughed and said I wasn’t old enough. I told him that I was, and when I told him my age after not believing that I was old enough, he acted as if I had told him I was really a boy.  “You look fourteen!”  I’ve gotten this all my life, that I don’t look my age.  It used to piss me off…every teenager wants to look older, not younger. But, I’m starting to embrace it now. I don’t need to look older, and I figure in 10 years, when I DONT want to look my age, I can look 10 years younger…. hopefully lol.

and i’m back

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass…  It’s about learning to dance in the rain…

Its been a really long time since I last posted here – almost one month. Lately I just have felt nothing has been worth posting. I feel kind of blah in general and nothing has been inspiring me lately. I had a really crappy day today (which is not worth posting either). I popped 2 of my tires due to some fucking idiot, but I’d rather not talk about it. It’s in the past and I’m out $250.

I started painting again. There have been 3 canvases sitting in my closet for over a year now, and I finally decided to entertain myself with them.  They aren’t that great, but I like being able to make something that is my own and have a final project that I am proud of. Hopefully some sort of inspiration will come out of it.

Anyway, I will begin posting again with stuff that is actually worth while reading…. hopefully something meaningful or something.

Until then…..

panic!

Last night I had a panic attack.  All of a sudden every negative emotion I was feeling hit me at once and I couldn’t handle it.  I haven’t had a panic attack this bad since high school I think. I’ve had some bad ones, but I thought they had gone away.  It hasn’t completely gone away. I had a good friend kind of talk me through it, and helped calm me down a little. I’m still somewhat shaky… I just need some time.

spring break awesomeness

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. But thats because I had an amazing spring break…and then my computer died on me (so I have to borrow my roommates for the time being). The quarter ended on a fairly good note. Unfortunately, I lowered my gpa a little, so that bummed me out. So, I’ll have to work my butt off to raise it back up again.

Half of spring break was spent up at school. I borrowed a friend’s room to sleep and did pretty much nothing besides sleep, watch TONS of Lost (I’m finally on season 2), and take trips to Napa. Uneventful, but I definitely needed to veg for a while.  Then, on Tuesday, Tim and I drove down to Anaheim at 6:45 am (right after he got off work). We got in by 2 pm and pretty much crashed.  On Wed, we spent the entire day at Disneyland & California Adventures. I wish I could write about how amazing it all was and how exciting the rides were and how much I just loooooove Disneyland, but that would take way too much time. We hit up pretty much every ride in one day, and by midnight our legs were really sore. Thursday, JohnO joined up with us, and we took it a little more leisurely, searching for hidden Mickeys, watching the Fantasmic show and one of the parades, and actually sitting for a while.  And, it was good. We left around 11ish, and drove over to John’s house to spend the night. And we also played Super Mario Party on his Wii, which is so sweet. I want one now. John made us breakfast, which was soooo good Then we took off to Malibu to see Brandon and grab some Thai food. We headed up the coast and got into SF on Saturday. Of course, we couldn’t pass up the city since we were already in the area, and ended up spending way too much money at American Apparel We got into Angwin around midnight and I crashed. But, this was probably the best spring break that I’ve ever had. I couldn’t ask for a better one… now I just need to work and make all that money back that I spent :p

I would rather be ashes than dust.
I would rather that my spark
would burn out in a brilliant blaze
than be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor,
every atom of me in magnificent
glow, than a sleepy and permanent
planet.

The function of man is to live,
not to exist. I shall not waste
my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my
TIME.
