Since I last posted

Work still is and I think will be crappy for the soon and foreseeable future. I think it is time to rethink my priorities and options that are out there.

Though today was a sucky day with a weather that is quite suitable for moping. I'm gonna give a quick update of the cool stuff that has happened since I last posted.

I ran 5.2 Miles on a long run with a friend!!!! O to the M to the G!!! Longest run yet, and I feel already my legs and hip falling apart. Oh dear. How will I survive 13.1 miles? Eh. One step at a time....right? *nervous laugh*

Anyways, on Sunday, A and I managed to go see the awesomeness that is named Matt Nathanson!

*swoons*

Now if I can just rid myself of this annoyance at my boss and try to see more of the positive-ness in life. It would be just grand.

I also discovered a band that has been around for a while, but are amazing to listen to.

I think I might feel better already.

Learning

A couple things have been happening during the past couple of days. Somethings aren't mature enough to share, but the situation is looking pretty interesting.

In the midst of all these things happening around me, I remembered a poem that was in a book that a previous friend have gifted me with. I'd like to think, that since then, 3 and half years ago, I've learned and will continue to learn.

Learn with Every Goodbye

Unknown

After a while, you learn the subtle difference

between holding a hand and chaining a soul,

And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning

And company doesn't mean security,

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts

And presents aren't promises,

And you begin to accept your defeats

With the grace of a woman,

not the grief of a child,

And learn to build all your roads on today

Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans,

And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight

And after a while, you learn That even sunshine burns if you get too much.

So you plant your own garden

and decorate your own soul,

Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure...

That you really are strong

And you really do have worth

And you learn

and learn...

With every goodbye, you learn.

The Amazing-ness of Ben Folds

Just discovered Ben Folds.

That is all for now. :)

So ugly it's cute

Have you ever heard of the expression "So ugly it's cute"? I have, and I didn't really believe in it until now.

What is it? You ask. DUN DUN DUN! It is a baby owl. TOO CUTE!

I wonder if this applies to boys too? hmmm.

.....

It has been a while since I have posted, and suffice to say there has been way too many things that happened in the past couple of weeks that I don't know even how to begin with if I wanted to talk about it.

But so far, a couple good songs have been keeping my sanity inside my head, and the insanity and ridiculousness of my life at bay: " I run to you", "Then", "Wild at Heart", "Small Town USA", "You Belong With Me", "Stand", and a couple more I'm sure.

Oh, that and I recently returned to fencing thanks to a friend of mine--well more like thanking her for making the first jump back easier. The happiness that I feel despite the sore muscles and in ability to walk is surreal. The happiness is so unreal....it is as if I have just gone out on an really nice first date and coming home all giddy. Too much of good stuff is making me second guess and ask myself "How long will this last?" I definitely don't want this to end.

*sigh*
