secrets..

what exactly is a secret? There are the secrets people keep from eachother. In all honesty, what is the point of that?!? Isn't it better just to say how you feel, or tell people the truth? Oh if only it were that easy, imagine that, imagine if you could just say what you feel and be done with it. Imagine the mental and emotional weights that would be lifted there. I am an honest person, especially these days. I just wish our society was set up in a way that you could just say what you want. I think maybe it is more about the fact that I hate ambiguity, I hate not knowing, which is probably why I wanted to be a journalist early on in life, I wanted to be in the know. I always say, I am on a need-to-know basis and I need to know everything. Someday, someday we will get there.
There are also the secrets people keep from themselves. But my question/observation is, are you really keeping the secret from yourself, or is it denial. Do we deny things, feelings to protect ourselves from getting hurt? It's to hard in many situations to open up and feel something, because what if you get hurt, what if it doesn't work out.
MEH, you know what i say....you only live once, better to have tried and failed then never to have tried at all.
LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE!!!

hmm...

why is it that if you never have something, you never want it, but once you have something you continue to want it...hmmm?!?! Life is weird like that.
random thought of the day....but here are some more quotes I like!

Murphy's Law
The first myth of management is that it exists.

Olive Schreiner
My feeling is that there is nothing in life but refraining from hurting others, and comforting those who are sad.

Wizard of Oz
Hearts will never be practical until they are made unbreakable.

Richard Bach
If you love something, set it free; if it comes backs it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was.

Cinderella
Do you love me because I am beautiful, or am I beautiful because you love me?

Joan Crawford
Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your heart or burn down your house, you can never tell.

THINGS ALL NEW YORKERS SHOULD COME TO REALIZE:
10) Maybe, just maybe, not EVERYONE is in as big of a rush as you are

9) Standing in the middle of the street, isn't going to make the light change ANY faster

8) If everyone who got on the subway just filed in like normal, considerate, polite people, we wouldn't all have to feel like we were packed in like sardines now would we?!?

7) Although people in middle america can't vote for shit, maybe adopting some of their polite ways wouldn't be such a bad idea.. a little excuse me here, an i'm sorry there, can I hold that door for you?!? Nothing out of the ordinary

6) Life has got to be better than pouring your blood, sweat and tears into your work only to have to take a vast majority of your earnings and put it into those 2x4's we call home!

5) Everything is Relative

4) There is life outside of these city limits, a world that exists outside of New York

3) Just because you live in NYC doesn't mean that it is any less weird when you put the contents of your closet together in ways that only the cutest child could get away with

2) It's ok to need to a break from this crazy city

and..

Stewie's Sexy Party

i hate bugs

I decided that I would suck it up and do my own laundry, (i normally do, but hadn't done it in forever) So, i'm waiting for the first load to dry, reading Harry Potter and something caught my eye, so I looked down. There it was, possibly the biggest bug I have ever seen in my life.....A COCKROACH.. That thing was seriously bigger than I am. Needless to say, I have some pretty wet clothes hanging around my apartment, but at least i don't have a giant cockroach. EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, i'm so disturbed by the cockroach, eeeewww, eeewwwww eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Ok, well the Title hopefully got all the screaming out of me. There are soooo many things I want to write about, but I think I will stick to cynicism. Recently I went to the airport and when I got there I realized I didn't have my license, or any photo identification......PROBLEM, right? Yeah, no, not-so-much apparently. I went to security with my pre-printed boarding pass and asked what I do if I have like 500 forms of other ID, but nothing with a picture on it. They told me to go to the ticket counter and they will take care of it. Still, I'm thinking, this is going to be a huge problem. I get to the ticket counter, explain the situation and the guy goes, no problem, I show him ONE, just ONE form of id and they give me a new boarding pass that basically says I will be getting pulled aside and checked. So I go back to security, go through the line and get pulled aside and quickly checked. So, we are living post 9-11 where, generally speaking, security is pretty high. Bullshit, I didn't have any photo id and you barely even looked up at me, and certainly didn't ask me any questions, and then just let me on the plane. That doesn't make me feel all that comfortable about my safety at airports (or anywhere)..how 'bout you?

Chill

..even in this summer heat, I can feel the chill that's in the air.....

Looking For A Bellhop

After a lot of thought and conversation, there has been a group decision that what i need, is a bellhop.

pondering

So, i'm in the pondering mood, which always leads to lots of why's? I was going to say what if's? but im not a big fan of what if's, you only live once, may as well lead a life of no regrets. I can honestly say in my entire existence I only have one real regret, and I think that's a pretty good place to be. Ok, this is not at all where I wanted this train of thought to go.....

I was talking to one of my closest friends tonight, and she said something that really made me think about how we all perceive things. Think about it like this, you go out with 2 other friends, one of you gets really really drunk, whomever got that drunk made a fool of themselves, and was an ass to the other two. The two, less drunk friends are annoyed by the friends behavior, and by extension their night was ruined because they had to "babysit" drunky over there. The next day you all wake up and are recounting the night, Drunky thinks the night was sooooo much fun, a little holes that need to be filled in, but overall their night was a 10. The friends are thinking, wow, I can't believe she thinks last night was that much fun, she made a complete fool of herself, and we had to take care of her, overall our nights were about a 4. Years down the road when they all think back on that night, it will be very different for everyone, and although Drunky remembers having a great time, she won't remember how it made her friends feel. I feel like i just experienced something a lot like that, with drastically different circumstances. All i know at this moment is that my recollection of that time is much more on point. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
