Television

I have obsessions with certain shows.  Some of them suck me in in a way that I cannot verbalize.  I learn to love the characters, I hurt when the characters hurt, I wish the best for them.  There have been episodes that I can feel their pain and sadness. 

My truth: I am so detached from the things that happen around me that I have stronger feeling when I watch television series.

The Family

 The pain...

The goodbye... 

The love that could be...

Election

Everyone knows we had an election last week right? Well on the 2nd I was coming home from school and on the radio an announcer said 'the election results are coming in, but what I really want to know is who will be voted out on dancing with the stars." REALLY??? Is that all she can thing about? something that is incredibly insignificant when we are talking about the fate of a states policy and national government representatives.  I firmly believe that society should take more of an interest in politics because it effects life everyday.  Most people cannot and do not know how much the government affects them.  It's worth  something about politics so that you can make an impact and be heard.

Don't sit around complaining if you are not willing to be involved.

My truth: society needs to take a closer look at its values, and show people that there are more important things than reality TV.

There's this boy....

Well when a story starts like this you know it won't be good.

There is this boy I met in college.  I am in love with him, but he has a girlfriend; one who he pined after for more than a year before she gave him the time of day.  I would be willing to move anywhere in order to be with him.  He has been on my mind a lot lately.  Facebook reminded me of his birthday, and now I can't get him out of my head.  I should say something to him, but I purposely stay away from him so I am not brought down by my unrequited love.  So I am waiting for someone who will never come, and will never see what is in front of his eyes. 

My Truth:  I am wanting a boy who doesn't think of me as a girlfriend, and I am waiting to see if one day that may change.

Food Inc.

I recently watched the documentary "Food Inc." and now I am obsessed with finding better, less processed foods.  I highly recommend watching this documentary.

I am also trying to convert to vegetarian-ism.  I have been one previously in my life, then again became a carnivor, but I think I will revert back to my herbivore ways after seeing what is in this movie.  There was also a special feature about chipotle and I thought i would share it with you.







I think I will be a carnivore only at Chipotle.

Looking back

Now that I look back at college I wish I had done many more things.  But I have a chance to do things again in grad school.  I think being at home will allow me to be more comfortable and to put myself out there more.

My truth: comfortable surroundings allow me to be more outgoing.
