Earth Month

I propose we make this Earth Month. Earth and the problems we face with global warming are so big I think they deserve more than just one day. Just in case you need more of a push, read this:

Remember to use less, reuse what you can and recycle. You may think that you can't make much of a difference but every little thing helps.

Subway Drama

I've identified a new breed of people that annoy me. I don't understand why, during rush hour, in a crowded subway train, some people choose to push others to get a seat on the subway only to get off at the next stop. I really don't understand that. Are you trying to be annoying on purpose? Let people that are going far sit, or the elderly or the handicapped. Ugh!

Also, when did it become manly to share headphones? That is probably one of the girliest things you can possible do. Please Refrain from doing this on the subway. It's not cute.

Who has the power?

I went to my first Ranger Game last night. Even while under the influence of Claritin, the game kept me up. It was very exciting. I saw a real live hockey fight and learned all about the game. Learned about something called "ice" which didn't necessarily refer to the ice they were skating in, and I also learned that teams can have the power without listening to the Blackbox song from the 90s. Apparently players can also do something called the "wrap around" which I thought sounded dirty but what the hey, most people there were drunk already. The rangers trampled on the Toronto Maple Leaves and took the game winning 7 -2. Pretty impressive I should say.

Bus Ride

I've been fairly busy these days. Unable to blog about my going abouts. Yesterday was a perfectly lovely day in New York. I had some time to spare so i took the bus to my appointment after work. I just looked out the window and enjoyed the city all along Madison Avenue.

I'm hoping for a good day today, all I can do at this point is take it one day at a time. Seems to be working for now.

Strategery

I'm having one of those days.....Yes, those days. I feel like all I do is think about what needs to be done but I actually don't end up doing much of anything. I just keep "strategizing" in my head as to what needs to be done and organizing it into neat little piles that I actually don't want to work on. I think today I'm going to blame it on sleep deprevation. Last night I only got 3 hours in which is not good for me. Maybe I'll get some actual rest tonight.

Too Cute

Doggie in the Box!!!

Celebrity Sighting?

As I was riding into work yesterday I noticed a guy that looked oddly familiar. After some inappropriate staring on my part I came to the conclusion that the guy on the subway was Andrew McCarthy, famous for roles in Pretty in Pink and Weekend at Bernie's and worthy enough for my blog.

Blue Skies

Sometimes I wonder why we rush through the day. Sometimes I wonder about what is really important. We get lost in a world that forces us to lose ourselves and all those little things that make us happy. Why can't I just pause and sit and look at the sky and enjoy the moment? If I do that what am I really missing? I took this picture on one of my adventures last year. Pictures like this make me feel peaceful, and make me wish that we could achieve this kind of peace every day.

Away we went...to Canada

As most of you probably know I took myself a little trip to Canada recently. I thought I would share some pictures with the world (or at least the three people that read this blog). Overall the trip was productive. I got a lot of rest and had some much needed me time. The hotel was really beautiful, as you can see I has a gorgeous view of the lake - even though it was frozen over I still enjoyed it. I also enjoyed room service, and my nice hotel bed and the great big TV. Do you know they have Law & Order in Canada too!I also managed to catch in the sights like any other tourist. I snapped this picture of the CN Tower (I kept calling it the Pointy Device) until I figured out it was not actually called that.

Best of all was the shopping really, oh and the Swedish massage, but most of all the shopping. I got myself cute Toronto shoes and while I was at it a few tops too. Best of all if my awesome Toronto Mug! That made the trip complete. I suggest all chicks take a long weekend on their own at least once in a lifetime. It make you appreciate...you, really. Now I'm back in the real world with books and work and annoying people on the subway. Good thing is it is snowing outside and I love the snow.

You Call That Fast Pace?

Major updates in the land of Floatinghead. I'm afraid I'm not going to talk about Britney, or Baby Suri, since I don't really know what's going on in the entertainment world. I can, however, talk about myself.

The recent lack of blog posts has developed due to the recent surge in activities in my life. First was the depression. Yeah, I'm still suffering from it a little bit, but it has gotten much better. I guess I just need some time with good old me to quiet things down and figure out where I'm headed next. On that note, I have started Graduate School! I'm excited, and eager but the work load is heavy and I need to make sure I stay on top of the game since the program is very demanding. As we speak I just managed to finish one of my homeworks at 11:00pm on a Saturday. I'm also taking swimming lessons which is also a task since it appears I am just not getting over my fear of water that easily.

But on with the show. I haven't really been out there recently. For the most part I've just been home collecting my thoughts. I did manage to squeeze in that awesome day trip to Philly, whose reward was an awesome mug with what I can only describe as some 3D imagery of the Liberty Bell amogst other landmarks. This evening I had a pleasant dinner with The Super Late. We were supposed to go to a movie too but we just couldn't agree. I wanted to see all things creepy and she wanted to see all things funny. We thought we decided on the Justin Timberlake movie but in the end we were not enthusiastic and decided to pass. C'est La Vie!

I think I will get some rest now. Tomorrow I'm planning for more readings on all the Psychology and maybe doing my laundry too. Wish me luck on the laundry part, that's the first thing I would be willing to forego.

What Now?

Long time no post from me. I've been busy. For the most part I've been trapped in my head thinking about things that I shouldn't be thinking. Everyone talks about the quarter life crisis, or the mid life crisis, but no one really refers to the perpertual life sucks crisis. Some people choose to call it "a hard time" or "the down before you can get up", I just call it the "life really sucks and I'm actually paying attention to it this time". Anyway, all hope is not lost. I understand where my frustrations come from and I just need to deal with them as they come. Tomorrow I'm off to Philadelphia with Delirium which should give me some much needed get away from everything time.

Off to another topic, I have 11 things on my List for this year. There is room for 1 more item because I always allow myself up to but no more than 12. I started working on 2 of them simultaneously, one of which is actually learning how to swim properly this time. I had my first lesson today. It was pretty good, I used my "skills " from the previous lesson and am trying really hard to just take it all in, yes that means the pool water too. Each time I know I will improve more and now I'm determined to learn how to swim. I shall keep everyone updated as to the progress that I'm making.

Because I Feel Like it

I feel like posting something. From work. Mainly because I feel like crap again. I just don't know why thing are right. It's one of those cases where not feeling great about one area in your life leads you to see all the other little annoyances that you don't see because you are somewhat optimistic. Maybe living in New York all my life has finally made irreparable damage, or maybe life just plain old sucks.

On a different note, I have 11 items on my list none of which I feel like doing at this point. It has to do with all the negative energy and such. Don't get me wrong I wasn't this way during the holiday. It was a little at Christmas and then I was fine for New Year's and now I'm just frustrated, ready to pull my hair out and do some real damage to anyone that come within 6 feet of me. I don't normally consider myself an advocate of physical violence but I feel the situation warrants it. Maybe tomorrow I will feel better.
