Here's to you!

This blog entry is dedicated to the four beautiful women who have taught me so much about life, love, sex and the city.

Miranda Hobbes, Charlotte York, Samantha Jones, and of course, the expert herself, Carrie Bradshaw. Ladies, Here's to you!!!



Sure, they may just be TV show characters to some people, but for me and my friends, these women have been not only provided endless hours of laughter and tears, but they have been teachers in a sense.

The things that Carrie and her three best friends have taught me:

1. I have learned that it is never smart to move to Paris with one man when you are in love with another.

2. I have been exposed to the importance of Minolos.

3. Men who have two first names are HOT!!! Oh Smith Jared you are one sexy thing!!!

4. Mr. Right is out there... you just have to look for him... and look for him... and look for him... :)

5. Tuchus Lingus need not be reciprocated... haha

6. What ever the city, New York or San Francisco, home is home.

7. Two closets are better than one.

8. When in doubt, drink a Cosmo.

9. Most men will, inevitably, let you down.

10. And.. your best friends will, inevitably be there to pick you up.

And the list goes on... Maybe I am giving these characters too much credit... but I have become the strong, smart, outgoing, woman that I am with the help of these women...
So I must give credit where credit is due!! Lovely ladies of Sex and the City... Here's to you!!!!

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!!!!!

Connections.

Late Night Wanderings of a Restless Mind

I think about the times in my life when I made a connection with someone, a connection that would impact my life. There are a few who come to mind, but names are not important, and dates are not important, only the connection matters, because they will stay with you forever. Whether is was a mis-connection or a past connection, a casual connection or an intimate connection, they all change us, some more than others.

It doesn't matter if my connection with you was 6 seconds ago or 6 years ago, when our paths cross again, we will know it was for a reason. I look forward to the day that our connection brings us back together. I know that everything happens for a reason, whether or not the outcome is predetermined. We were in the same place, at the same time, for a reason.

We always blame ourselves for mistakes in relationships and as humans it is natural to regret things, but the connection was genuine. If I learn something from you, even if you break my heart, I cannot regret my time with you, you taught me more about me. I can regret decisions I made about you but I cannot regret you.

Our paths may cross only once, or you might be braided throughout my life, but either way you are significant. I can't put a prince on my experience with those people; those people who, in either a constructive, or destructive manor, shuck up my world.

These little thoughts are running around in my head, along with my memories of all of you. I think I am finally ready for you to come back into my life, even if it is only for a fleeting second, I need closure. I need to say thank you.

To the ones who still wait in my future, wondering when I will step on your toes, I am ready and I welcome your challenges, I want to know what lesson you have to offer me.

Isn't it odd though? How people just simply enter and then exit your life, only to show up somewhere down the line, Shaking things up again. My mind is completely blown by the concept. Sure it is easier today with Facebook and cell phones and iChat, but when someone drops in on you from the past, or what you thought was a mis-connection turns out to be real connection, you still are affected by the connection.

Connected and Confused

A New Brunette for 2010

Happy New Years!! I can't believe that 2009 is gone... I seriously was freaking out a little bit when I realized that I am about to be 20. But a few days have passed and I am a bit calmer now. Thank God.

So what is in store this year for me? Well I have given up a vice, 3 days strong. I plan on making my apartment a grown up apartment. It needs to stay neat and tidy and I want to make my bed everyday. I also want to visit a new piece of San Francisco every week. I figure, I love the city so much, but there is still so much I haven't seen. Hopefully 2010 will be a year of travel for me, I am dying to get out of this country for a little while.

Last year, 2009, was a year for me to mend my broken heart and work on myself. I managed to do both. I spent the first half of the year tellng myself that everything was going to be okay, and the last half of the year telling myself that I wasted the first half of the year. I refuse to feel that way about 2010. I am so looking forward to everything that this new year has to offer, and I plan on taking it all in.

Goals for 2010
1. Acknowledge that I am happy every single day.
2. Read more... I miss reading for pleasure.
3. Stay focused in school.
4. Visit a new piece of San Francisco every week.
5. Do things that scare me.
6. Spend time out side of the US.
7. Write more... I miss writing for pleasure.
8. Burn more incense... They help me feel at peace with myself.
9. Keep my apartment clean.
10. Fall in love... (This one has to be on every single girl's goal list)

So that is hopefully a quick overview of what 2010 has to offer this Brunette. I can't wait, I am looking forward to every second of it... but for now I need to go make good on number 9... and clean my room!

Ciao for Now
