A day of celebrations!

A day of celebration, just like the title says.
I started the day enjoying breakfast with my mother for her birthday at Panera Bread. After breakfast we enjoyed some good mother-son shopping, most of it on my behalf and my credit card, of course. Nevertheless it was a good quality time with my mom something of which I have very little of.
After that I darted to school to finish our newspaper and magazine. I don't have enough words to explain how proud I am of this staff of committed individuals who without them this magazine would not be possible. This is the best Substance magazine to date.
Anyway, I'm here in the newsroom finishing the day off with everyone around me in a mad rush to copy edit the final draft of the magazine so it could be sent to the printers. Hoo-ra!

I think thats it for tonite, I am terribly exhausted and developing a massive headache with a fever. Ugh! All this incubation is gonna kill me.

Good times!

I love...

Many things.

Work today was actually fun. I can hardly believe it myself. It was very slow, so we all got together and tried to solve the crossword puzzle. Even our manager got in on the word action. After that I started a rumor that my friend couldn't read and asked for donations so we could sponsor her tutelage at Sylvan Learning Center. I know I know, it sounds a bit cruel on my part. But honestly it was only meant as a joke....I'm still waiting for the laughs. (ha....ha).

I've been okay for these last few months. Bad things happen, good things happen. It all seems like a blur. In fact this whole year felt that way. I did more than I thought I would of course. Yet I still have this feeling like should have done more. I think a lot of people feel that way though. I just need to occupy myself next year with my studies and my career goals. It will be my hardest year yet I think. But I look forward to the challenge. I need to grow in more than one way I think. I feel a bit young brain wise. I know i'm only 21 and still have many things to learn, and most things come with age, still I wish I knew more. About anything really. I'm open.

So thats my goal for next year I suppose. Learn as much I can.

Yes.

Oh p.s. My thanksgiving was awesome. Had mucho fun with the family.

No Money

It sucks having no money. I didn't think the failing economy would affect me much, a little naive yes, nevertheless I did not guess my meager earnings would dwindle so drastically. First I get charged four over draft fees from BOA and I try to fight it but its pointless. Then I only get scheduled 2 days for work next week. What do they expect me to do?!! Now I understand the starving artists out there. Its been tough but I suppose this could just be a test to better myself. Learn how to not be so dependent on my parents.
School is nearing its end and I am sad I must admit. I have had so much fun this semester I can't begin to explain. Meeting so many new people has been exciting. Most are from the newsroom but some from work too. Change is good.

I need money people. I think its back to the streets for me. Which reminds me of that song chasing pavements by Adele.

"should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements?" I don't know if thats what this song is actually about but thats the definition on urbandictionary.com.


Good grief!

Hamster on a piano

I don't know why I post these. But this has to be one of the funniest things i've seen in a while. Stupid, very stupid but funny. So here it is.....

A bittersweet victory

Horray! Obama won.
Boo! Prop 8 passed.

I honestly do not care about peoples religious convictions on this matter, it is a basic right that should be afforded to everyone. No matter what sex you are you should be allowed to choose who you want marry. This will come back to haunt Americans in a way that I can't even forsee. Gays represent a large portions of Americas economy and they will be sure to use that to their advantage as a bragaining tool. Today California made a mistake by passing this proposition.
When blacks wanted to vote and whites said they couldn't, did they give up? No.
When women wanted to vote and men said they couldn't, did they give up? No.
I hope gays and lesbians don't give up. I know they won't because this is an injustice that should not an will not be overlooked.

Its about time

Barack Obama was elected President of the United States of America tonight. Millions of people are in a state of excitement for the most poignant thing about this election is that a change is imminent. I do believe that americans made the right choice tonight. I could be a bit biased on that matter, considering i'm a democrat, but nevertheless this is a turning point in our 221 year old nation.
One thing is certain tonight, millions of Americans will remember where they were the minute that they heard that an African American was elected as our next president. What makes me so proud right now is to realize that there is hope yet for America. Eight years ago we chose Bush as our president, and now we know that was the wrong decision, we will have to deal with that for sure. But the fact that America saw a problem and chose as a nation to elect someone to fix it gives me a great sense of pride to live here in this great land. I just hope that Barack Obama is up to the task of tackling on the economy, the climate problems, two wars and so many other issues.
Change is in the air. I can feel it.

YELLE

Went to see the lovely Yelle last night in Hollywood at the Music Box. It was so much fun. The party was jumping all night. Not one dull moment. First Josie reprimands some tweens for cutting and then the party starts. 2 straight hours of dancing and jumpin around.
