La Familia Del Real

La Familia Del Real y el alcohol

The beauty of my weekend with my family.

A note to myself, when I am missing my sisters and friends that I made in Texas:
-You love your family and being around for big, important family events (in contrast to being in Texas) is worth it

more to come.

Ignorance is Bliss

[This is a note to myself to think about April 2003 and the thoughts provoked sitting next to my brother, a three time Veteran, during a viewing of Green Zone]

I'm hoping, I'll think and then sort my thoughts on Blogspot. Maybe

I need a job

I need a job.

Point blank.

Have I been actively searching for a job? No I have not.

Why? Because I can't get a job and then ask for time off when my friends come to visit me in July.

I really need to get a job because I am bored out of my mind. There is only so much Sudoku I can do. There is only so much reading I can do. There is only so much loafing by the pool I can do. There is only so much cleaning I can do. There is only so much Facebook creeping and gmail checking I can do.

Can someone just hire me? I have a bachelor of science degree in Biology. Isn't worth something? I have tons of leadership and organizing experience and I'm friendly (most of the time:) I've applied, officially at Target and at Heinz (as a Laboratory Chemist) and I have filled out applications for Sephora and Beyer Living Center, but I haven't turned in my applications or my resume. Where else can I/should I apply?

I haven't changed

I've been running into old friends and acquaintances from high school and it blows my mind that many of them say I haven't changed. People who hadn't seen me in years, could still pinpoint my fashion style and my extracurriculars. It blew my mind a bit--rather it blows my mind.

Really, I haven't changed after four years of college? What was the point then, of pursuing a college degree at a University in a completely unfamiliar part of the country?

Randomly, an old song I use to love popped into my head. I use to love it because it described me in the summer of 2007 and it scares me a bit that three years later, it still describes me.

Tied Together with a Smile by Taylor Swift

Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty
Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
You walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true, cause I know you

Hold on baby you're losing it
The water's high you're jumping in to it
And letting go and no one knows
That you cry but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile but you're coming undone


Guess its true that love is all you wanted
Cause you're giving it away like it's extra change

Hoping it will end up in his pocket
But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain
Oh cause it's not his price to pay
It's not his price to pay

Hold on baby you're losing it
The water's high you're jumping in to it
And letting go and no one knows
That you cry but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile but you're coming undone


oh oh oh oh
Hold on baby you're losing it
The water's high you're jumping in to it
And letting go and no one knows
That you cry but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile but you're coming undone

Because. . .I have hope. . .

I have hope. . . once in a while. . .sometimes. . .most of the time?

HOPE.

A powerful four letter word.
