Fisheye

Oh man, I’m going to miss summer. But, the chilly weather has actually brought a strange hopefulness with it. As much as I’m not excited for jacket weather, chattering teeth, and making an effort to put on my shoes, it’s time for change. And I feel like it might be for the better…

Harsh Times

Things were going so well, but I guess you can’t enjoy the highs if you don’t go through the lows. At first, I was just feeling funky and weird. Then, unfortunately, a few things happened that complicated my life. Oh, and there’s also the fact that I always complicate my life even more. I’m trying really hard to get over this hump. I’m hoping I don’t have to deal with it or worry about things for too much longer. But, as all these experiences usually do, I’m thinking of a lot of things I want to change.

• I need to start doing exercise. Even if I just start doing it once a week for 20 minutes. I always feel better. It’s not too look good. It’s too feel better, to exercise my body and mind.
• I need to start eating better. Less processed foods. I want to start reading labels and picking foods that have very few ingredients, or at the very least, very few ingredients I don’t recognize.
• I need to start going to bed earlier. I stay up killing brain cells and hurting my eyes (and sometimes crushing my soul) looking at Facebook all night. I should be getting well rested, so I can wake up and have some time in the morning to get ready, have a good breakfast, and not feel like crap when I get to work.
• I need to be more responsible with my heart. I tend to feel bad doing things I want to do or doing the right thing for myself because I worry about how other people will feel. And then, I get my heart broken or my trust betrayed and I end up in horrible situations I could’ve very easily avoided. I feel bad that I can’t wear my heart on my sleeve. But I guess it’s more so that I should be choosy about who I do that with.
• I need to be strong and tough. I need to tackle issues head on. I need to stop feeling bad for myself and just forget about it and let things happen.

I need some retail therapy. I need a good time. Good food. Good people around me. No worries or stress. I just want to get back to good again.

Reasons to Live

I cherish the small moments I can experience. I am so thankful that I can see and hear beautiful things. I was on my way to Blockbuster and Joe’s (my friend’s house, we are always there), and I left at the perfect time. The sun was setting and it was this amazing mix of reds, oranges, pinks, blues, and purples. Minus the Bear was playing (more on them later…I can’t believe I haven’t shared my love yet) and everything was in place in life.

It’s times like these I can breathe in deep and thank the Lord I get to experience moments like this. This is why we’re here.

{P.S. These pictures are untouched. No editing. That is how amazing the sky was. Thank you, Canon Powershot SX120 IS, for the sunset setting. Nothing would show how amazing it truly was without you. The only thing better was real life.}

Can you believe we’ve made it to the 3rd month of 2010? Where does the time go? It’s officially March. Hopefully, this means it’s time for spring. I’m getting sick of snow, gray skies, and sparse sunshine.

Even though there were clouds in the sky, at least it was blue.

Silver Screen Romance

Is it wrong that I still look up to these couples and swoon when I watch and rewatch them fall in love on camera over and over?

Seth and Summer
{The O.C.}

Steve and Miranda
{Sex and the City}

  
J.D. and Elliot
{Scrubs}

I know they are fictional couples. But they give me hope. Despite all the freaking odds, these couples made it through everything. And it may have taken time, but it eventually turned out right. Perhaps this is why my view of love has always been a little skewed…I want it to be like in the movies and on TV shows. But then again, it can’t be so bad to have hope.

EDIT: I forgot one of the best onscreen couples ever.
No collection should be without Jim and Pam. They might even be the best.
