ideas ideas ideas

i am tired of being afraid of hard work, of failure. tired of this fear of not living up to my own expectations. you never know unless you try: sound advice i rarely listen to, but i will, from now on.

rainey & simone, you have inspired me with your ideas & now i need to look within myself for inspiration.

i want/need to be creative. without it, i will only continue to sink into the boring, the blase (accent on the e). creativity should come naturally but if it is stifled by fear it will never have a chance to manifest.

this is me, trying to motivate myself.

its the end of the world as we know it

I just got this application for my phone called "Sky Map." It shows you which stars, planets, constellations, etc are visible in the sky according to your location. i havent used it yet, seeing as it isnt dark out, but according to the comments on the application page, you can actually see the planets aligning! I find that pretty spooky considering the prophecies surrounding the year 2012... I'm not prepared for the world to end without having been able to really explore any of it. Polar switches & massive climate change would really put a damper on all of our futures, if we even have much of a future in the state this world is in. But we have to be positive, right? Who knows what will happen to any of us in the next 4 years? All we can do is try to steer our lives on course to destination-whatever-plans we may have. Personally, I've never been one to plan ahead, but its time that I set some goals, especially now that I believe there's an actual time limit. & if there isn't? Then at least I accomplished something.

More on this later.

break

going to the poconos for the weekend.

I'm writing this on a smoke break in between waxing my legs. its about 4am & I had all day to do this but I waited until about an hour ago to start... but I'm going to finish, damnit.

starting over... again.

i need to be more careful about granting people access to my personal thoughts & feelings.

ive always found it interesting how it is so much easier for us to share our inner workings with complete strangers than with those that are closest to us, at least in this format. unlike friends, or former friends, strangers cannot actively pass judgement, because, after all, they do not know you.
