| i'm going to run until my feet come off the ground |

so it is official, i am a college graduate. and just like the majority of the other college grads, i am unemployed.. i suppose for the few who i am writing to i might have a lot to catch you up on. the end of this summer i had plans of partying and enjoying the place i had fallen in love with for the past three years, well, maybe it wasn't really the place i had fallen for but more so the people that made tallahassee a home. however, i ended up getting in a car accident june 2nd i believe which ultimately changed my plans as i knew it. without a way to move my posessions 7 and 1/2 hours south, and with no car to even move myself...i was stuck. my parents ended up coming up and moving my stuff down, bringing me with them. As most of you know, I love moving, I love meeting new people...but I will admit that within these past three years i stood upon quite a solid ground that I had built for myself. So now I am living back in Fort Lauderdale, spending hours upon hours applying for countless jobs that are utterly pointless and hold no relevance to me. I've been jumping between schools for my masters lately, at first my initial plan was Nova. That is until I realistically put the school loans into perspective, no thanks. So as of now I am hoping to get a job in sales, preferably with a large company but lets get serious, I am not going to be picky. Then starting November or December I will hopefully have successfully enrolled in FAU's MBA program. I had wanted to take it as an online program but that will not aide in my hopes of meeting friends down here...My dogs seem to be happy. My world seems to be at a standstill right now. It's kind of funny how you can go from two jobs, a townhouse of your own, and tons of friends, to pretty much the complete opposite in less than 24 hours. But I know as soon as I get through job searching I will get to go apartment shopping and back to my artsy fartsy self designing bullshit ;) I'm hoping to get in with the Broward Women's Soccer League and continue taking golf classes to help occupy my time and reintroduce myself to South Florida... I have so many things I want to do, if only I had the money to do them lol. one day, one day....and until then, the beat goes on.

As rare as my entries are, I still enjoy having this thing... Let's see, I guess I'll start with a few fast facts: I graduated. I'm still living in Tallahassee until my lease ends in July. I am still bartending at the Edge and Corner Pocket. I decided to take a golf class over the summer to occupy a little bit of my time. I am dating a new guy named Chris. He's from Connecticut, however, he is now living down in Fort Lauderdale. I plan on going to Nova starting in July or October where I will get my Masters and then on to finishing law school. My two dogs are squishier than ever and loving life. My niece turns one next week! I fly to Illinois this Thursday for her birthday party and then back to south florida for my brothers graduation.My family is good. I'm happy.
I really hope to start seeing a few of you guys more often though, as we get older I realize time seems to go vanish quicker by the minute. I don't think I have fully grasped the concept that I am finished with my bachelors degree. Needless to say, a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. And now on to my next conquest...
I hope this finds each and everyone of you smiling and enjoying life. And if not maybe the writing below will shed some light into your darkness...
May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand. May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone. May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them. Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending. Teach love to those who hate, and let that love embrace you as you go out into the world. May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them. Remember, those whose lives you have touched and whose have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. It is the content of the encounter that is more important than the form. May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart. Find time each day to see beauty and love in the world around you. Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is different in our own way. What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future. May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility. Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience. May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and not be dependent on another's judgment of your accomplishments. May you always feel loved.

Were losing ourselves...

surprises and all..everything turned out awesome.
christmas drives on sundays are something to live for..
the game was amazing, i was crowned the best source of entertainment lol..now im trying to find a way out of what i got myself into.hmpf.
'Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life.'
