It's Summer!!!

So the last few months have kicked my rear. I have really figured out who I am, but I am worn out. I can't believe how quickly 2010 as flown by, i mean it is almost half way over. I am not even 48 hours into summer and I can already tell that is gonna be the most amazing summer ever!!! Last summer was great, life changing, but I am going to conquer this city in the next couple months!

TGIS!!!!!

Thank. Gravity. Its. Summer.

Thinking about Blogging.

So I am sitting on my bed... listening to a bunch of random music that I downloaded, ad thoroughly enjoying the new sound. I was thinking about how I haven't blogged for a while and i realized I might as well UPDATE things. So plans are changing... yet again. I am gonna go to Spain in the Spring and spend a semester or two learning Spanish all over again. I can't wait..

I am also going to be staying in my apartment, which i am very excited about. I just decided that moving into a new lease when I am leaving in December doesn't make any sense. So I get to enjoy the rest of my city life before I leave for Spain.

Good ole Marty is back in SF to stay for atleast a while before he has to go back to Belfast. Unfortunately, the weather from rainy Ireland fallowed him here. He is always a good time, that boy!!

Well I am gonna go get some delicious Frozen Yogurt on this freezing rainy day.. lol

A Huge Epiphany About Little Pieces

Life is about finding those little pieces of heaven. Searching the world for those tiny details that make it all worth while. We are engineered to seek the things that make our hearts beat just a little faster.

In the last year, I have found so many of these little things. I could cry thinking about how AMAZING the last year of my life has been. I am the luckiest girl in the world.

Last summer I got the amazing opportunity to go to Spain and spend 5 weeks living in the most charming town on the planet. Padilla de Duero was and always will be home. The people i met there, even though our conversations were rough through the language barrier, are my family. Salamanca left it mar on me for life, literally i got a tatto in that beautiful city. Spain is a piece of my heaven. I could go on forever about Spain, but I will save that for another blog.

After returning to the states, I spent most of the summer in my BEAUTIFUL apartment in the wonderful city of San Francisco, I have learned to appreciate every little piece of this city. I am sooo close to knowing what I want to do with the rest of my life.

I have my roof, which has become my headquarters anytime I need an escape. I can think clearly out here. Obviously, it inspired this blog.

I found the Shannon, where even 6 glasses of ice water is a great time. The company in that little bar makes me one of the happiest girls in San Francisco. I love the IRISH!!!! Whether Emmett is making me Gin and Tonics, or a cup of tea, I am as cheery as all the other Irish sitting at the bar.

I am living my life for every moment... because in the end that is what it is all about.

For my Philosophy class this semester, we discussed the idea of 'self' and 'purpose' from a religious perspective. We looked at the Christians, the Buddhists, we looked at Hinduism and even at some Philosophers ideas on the subject. On one of the last days before the final, I started this blog up on the roof. I realized that you cannot force anything, because the important things will come effortlessly.

Now, well in to Summer 2010, I know that I am on my path to discovering who I am and what it is about this world that makes me happy. This Brunette is so happy that she has this blog to record all of her discoveries.

Until my next epiphany...

Franken-Face

This it something that has really hit a nerve with me.

I understand getting a little nose job if you are self conscious about its size and shape. I am completely fine with someone adjusting the size of their boobs. I also don't think it is a big deal if someone chooses to get their ears pinned back.

What really upsets me is when a girl goes into the doctors office looking sweet, and she comes out looking like Frankenstein. Everyone has read the articles about celebrities and their surgeries, but Hiedi Montag has taken it too far. She is so young and had such an adorable body before going under the knife.

When Heidi first got her nose and breasts done it was fine, noticable, but it enhanced her look. Now, she looks like her skin has been pulled so tight, it might rip. But when she was one the cover of People saying she had 10 more procedures, and wasn't finished, I became disgusted.

Now I hear that she wants to increase her bust size again. This woman is sick! She is 26 years old and already she is filling her body with silicon! YOU CAN NEVER GET YOUR FACE BACK HEIDI!!!!! It is sooo frustrating.

What I really want to know is what doctor is performing these surgeries? It seems absurd that any realistic plastic surgeon would tell his patient that she was going to look like a monster. If I had a face like that post op, I would be sueing my doctor, not going back for more!

Anyways, I guess all i am trying to say is that everything is fine, IN MODERATION!!!

Blame Mercury...

For the last week or so, things have been off. It feels like there has been a disconnect between me and the rest of the world. Weird things from my past have been popping up and communication between me and the world, as well as my brain and my body, has been off.

Everyone could feel it. But once again, Astrology comes to the rescue.

Mercury is in RETROGRADE! But What does that mean? I didn't really know myself, so i decided to research it a little bit.

Mercury governs thoughts and perceptions. When the already slow planet slows down even more,it causes personal misunderstanding. It may be as simple as dropping a coffee cup, or as serious as midlife crisis career changes. Either way, it is important to make decisions carefully and thoughtfully during this part of the year.

Don't jump to any conclusions, and don't blame people for their mistakes, it isn't their fault.


Blame Mercury.

PS
Thanks to Kate for shedding light on this funk that I was in... I thought it was just me!!! I love you sister!!!

Counting Down...

Once again my count down has commenced! For what? JOHN MAYER!!!! I am seeing him 4th row in August and I can't wait. If his last concert blew my mind, I don't know it I will survive being that close to him!!! I can't wait!!!!!

Things are Changing

So I feel like I haven't written in forever. Maybe because I haven't! A few things have changed in my life. My career path is taking a slight turn. I was thinking about my future, and I realized I wanted to be able to travel when i am older, but there are other important things in life as well.

So I decided that maybe archaeology isn't where I need to be. No worries! I am finishing My degree in the Classics, but it is what happens afterward that is changing. I think I am going to go to Law School!!!

I know it's crazy, but works and I think I would kick ass in a court room! I owe this epiphany to none other than the wise man at the Shannon Arms... Emmett!

Anyways, so as of right now that is my plan... Can't wait!!!
