As a quick note to my previous post… the one brand-spankin-new album I bought today was Florence + The Machine “Ceremonials”
And it’s amazing.
There is something about their music… you don’t just listen to it… you feel it. It’s the kind of album that paralyzes you… forces you to just sit there, close your eyes, and listen.
Needless to...

went to newbury comics today...
Basically, I love music. This is only ever a problem when I am in music stores. And when great bands play in Boston.
Just spent 80 bucks on tickets to see the Cranberries at the House of Blues… money well spent. It’s going to be epic. Period.
Went to newbury comics to see if I could find any used Cranberries CD’s (I have a lot of their music…but it’s all...

Some Days...
…you just don’t want to work.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m blessed to have a job that I love working with people that I love…
but sometimes, all you wanna do is sit on the couch and watch movies and eat chocolate. That’s where I’m at today. wahhhhhhh.

Given my current life situation....
… watching romantic comedies like “no strings attached” is a bad idea.
showering off my I-just-cried-for-two-hours face, then having drinks with one of the plutonic loves of my life. That should solve the problem.

Kitchen Wisdom: Teamwork →
kitchenwisdom:
The kitchen is a battleground. It’s you and your team versus everyone sitting in the dining room. If that team isn’t a cohesive unit, you go down in flames. When your team doesn’t work together, it’s like going to war with just your sidearm.
Recently I have become frustrated with my team. No, not…

Day 12 out of 20
I really do try not to piss and moan. I have a good life - a place to live, a job that pays my bills (however narrow the margin), good friends and a wonderful family.
But when you’re at day number 12 out of 20 straight of work/school with no days off, it gets hard to be optimistic.
It’s like running on a treadmill… exhausted but not ever going anywhere or feeling like...
My horoscope for the day...
The distinction between friendship and courtship might be a subtle one now. Even if you’re not seeking more from a relationship, you still can benefit from being aware of your emotions. However, you don’t need to do anything special in order to attain love. Your current lesson is learned by fully experiencing the desires of your heart without trying to make anyone else responsible...

I'm pretty sure....
That i’ve decided on getting either a 3/4 or full sleeve tattoo on my right arm. It’s going to be text with background, and will have to tie into my back, but the idea I have… well the right artist will make it beautiful :)
I never thought this day would come. But, sometimes, you just fall in love out of the blue, and it takes you over.
I need someone who can...

why is it that I could write for days… about anything at all. Novels if I wanted. If I had time. And now, when it really matters, I have pages and pages of notes about why I want to study abroad, and I can’t put together one coherent, cohesive page to save my life?? This means more to me than maybe anything I have ever written and I can’t seem to put it all together. I wish...

scratch that
is it weird that i’m a little bummed out that we aren’t going out anymore? I mean it will be nice to sleep for a few hours, but, it woulda been a good time.
Going out tonight...
…instead of going to bed.
School tomorrow will be 12 hours of hell (yes, 12 hrs on sundays…). But apparently this is the party of the year for all involved.
She’s gonna be there… all of my greatest desires wrapped up in one person… Good God I hope I don’t say or do anything that will get me in trouble.
Then again… what is life without a little...

Anxiety.
I’ve recently been feeling really good. About everything in my life.
22 out of 24 hours of every day I am strong.
Then I crawl into bed. In the dark, I am vulnerable.
Every night as I brush my teeth I say a silent prayer that I am so exhausted I’ll hit the pillow and be unconscious within seconds. That way, I won’t have to deal with the extreme loneliness that creeps in...

you know that feeling...
…when you are halfway between asleep and awake… and you aren’t sure if something is real or if you’re dreaming?
you close your eyes again, and hope and pray that it’s real…
and then you roll over, open your eyes, and realize that it was just a dream, that it didn’t actually happen and (sad) reality sets in.

Dear Maintenance Man;
It is no longer mid morning. in fact, it is not even late morning. It’s afternoon. And you still aren’t here. And I still have things to do before work. What the crap. Where are you? You’re seriously cramping my style / ruining my plans for the day.
Love,
Clutch.

Have you ever....
….known better, but still wanted something? Let it drive you crazy? Tried to let go but couldn’t?
Well that was exhausting.
It’s the end of November now… the last time I wrote it was the beginning of September. I can’t believe so much time has passed - it feels like I blinked and now here I am. A lot has happened… here’s a brief synopsis:
School went well. I got straight A’s for the first time in my life. I made some connections that will be beneficial down the road. I learned...

I got an A :D
I feel kind of like a little kid. Got an A in intro to baking and pastry. :D
And interestingly, a little bit of perspective. At the end of the term, I had to write a personal statement and include it in my portfolio. Here it is:
Admittedly, upon entering CUL 1345 I was skeptical. I thought that I didn’t have any interested in baking and pastry, and did not understand how large of an impact...
Ever Have one of those days....
….where everything bothers you?
It’s beautiful outside, I didn’t have school this morning, I am exceptionally well rested, my hair is being agreeable (as is my wardrobe) and I get to see one of my best friends tomorrow. I should be in a great mood. But for some reason, the littlest things are creeping in and pissing me off. Things that don’t even matter. I don’t...

The struggle to achieve dream x.
I keep harping on about striving for your dreams and how amazing it has been for me thus far.
This, however, is the end of a very long day, which wasn’t even close to as long as the last four. I am exhausted. I’m still optimistic, I’m even more certain now that I have made the right choices, but I am absolutely exhausted.
I started school full time this past week. That...

So I was hungry...
I forgot what it’s like to be so hungry your brain slows down. That’s how I felt when I got home. Now, easily two normal-people-portions of wanchai garden sechuan chicken, veg, and noodles, I am physically slow, although my brain is back at it.
The miracle of nutrition :D
The struggle of the food coma versus all the things I have to do now… :\
Other reasons why I know this is the right...
I promise I’ll stop sounding like a self-help guru/ motivational speaker one of these days, but, seeing as how i’m in the midst of all this life changing, I can’t help it.
Another reason to believe that this is where I belong:
we got SMOKED tonight. Like, pounded. Like, six or eight tickets clicking out of the machine at a time, every few minutes, from six until ten thirty.

This Really Great Thing Happened...
It’s been a few days since I had a minute to write, dear world, however, I’m reaching back a few days to share this one with you….
Recently we had a new woman begin working in our kitchen. The very first day we worked together I told her that it was my first restaurant job but not how long I had been there. A few days later, we were talking and she asked
“how long did...

Trust Your Intuition

Self-trust is the foundation of greatness.
Yes, Sir, it is!
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man...”
– Theodore Roosevelt, excerpt from “Citizen in a Republic,” Paris, April 23, 1910
Following your dreams...
…is hard.
…is terrifying.
…can be lonely.
…begs for criticism.
…will make you doubt yourself.
…will make you cry.
But then when you get them it will…
…be easy(er)
…shut the critics up
…make you believe in yourself
…make you smile
…show you what true happiness is all about.

Stumbled upon this - kind of speaks to me!
One Hundred Eighty Degrees.
As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve made some changes in my life. The last year’s journey has been long and arduous, and I still have not reached my destination… However, life is not about the destination, it is about the journey and I finally feel like I am walking the right path.
Let me lay this all out for you (I’ll try to be brief, because I could probably write a...
