Today in My Pyschedelic Shoes....

Note from the author

Hey everybody! For those of you who read my blog, I would like to apologize for not writing anything for a while. Just got busy and distracted. You know how it is. So here's a brief overview of what has happened since.


Mindy Gledhill

Today I went to a Mindy Gledhill concert!!!! It was the most fun ever (and my first concert)! My best friend Jordan even bought me her cd for my birthday! I spent the whole concert singing along and afterwords got to get her autograph and a picture with her! Very memorable. If you haven't heard of her, you should check her out!!


November 12

it happens, November 12 is my birthday! I really had a great one this year. The concert(see post above) was my activity thing. I was very excited to get a bed(my mattress used to be on the floor)!!! I spent the day being really happy and tried so hard no to get angry and I didn't. I felt more loved this year than ever before, it was a very special and memorable day for me. Thank you everybody who made it that way.

Reform

A while back I was just thinking(yes I know a dangerous thing for me) just about my life in general. Well more specifically what I would like my life to be in the future, a vision if you will. I tend to do this from time to time, just as an escape. But this time I did a little comparison; an analytical comparison of my life now and my "vision". Unfortunately as I looked I saw that these paths were running along very different tangents. So I decided to reform. To reform so that I may get on the right train.

The Philosophy Of Pumpkin Carving

There are many unique and cliche traditions for different holidays. There are Christmas traditions, and Easter traditions, and Halloween traditions. On Halloween people dress up and go "trick-or-treating", go to corn mazes, go to parties, watch scary movies, play jokes, and such. The list goes on. In my family we always dress up and go "trick-or-treating" and gorge ourselves with a large assortment of sweets. We will occasionally go to a corn maze and get lost for a little while. And these are fun but the activity that is most fun .....is carving pumpkins. Every year we take some time to pick some pumpkins from our garden( or the store depending on the quality and size of our crop) and spread old newspaper on the dinning room table. After which we sit and rack our imaginations for our own unique design for our Jack-O-Lantern. We all take our permanent markers and the felt tip hovers over the soon to be carved pumpkin. Then we say to ourselves, "maybe I should draw it in paper first." so then we all scribble and scratch until we hear the inevitable "oh baby"'s. It's on to the carving itself. Even with taking as much time and precaution allotted it never turns out the way we would like it. In a sense carving pumpkins is like life. We try or hardest and most times it just does not work out the way we want it to. It is imperative to our survival and success in this world to be able to fight and conquer that disappointment with our ultra shield on high. It's hard to learn in life and to accept it. So instead of renting your clothes from your body an yanking off your scalp, carve a pumpkin and learn the lesson. Pumpkins are irrelevant to life. Or are they?

Strolling in my Pyschedelic Shoes...10/29

I decided today that I need more discipline in my life. An the quickest and easiest way to accomplish this is to get a job. It might not seem logical, because I would just have less time to do homework and chores, but I think that if I DON'T have all the extra time to dilly-dally around. So this is my goal for next week: apply to as many places as I can. So if you know of any job openings anywhere it would serious sweet sauce if you could get ahold of me. :)

Today was a good thought provoking day with much reminiscing and musing. Today I reviewed my vision, for lack of a better word, of who I see in the future, or should I say who I want to be. I really thought long and hard on this and afterwards I was pleased. I said to myself "that will be good. That is everything realistic that I see myself doing and being." but then I was shrouded with disappointment when I analyzed my life now and compared it to my vision and they were two very different tangents. So I planned, in my head yet to be put on paper, my life reformation. It makes me very happy inside and I know it's going to difficult but all I will say is that j hope, sincerely hope, that I don't foozle it.

Today was one of those daydreamy days. Almost every time I daydream I think of sailing. Not boating, sailing. It seems that ever since I went on my uncle Mark's sailboat I have not been able to drop the fascination. I'm to the point where I draw sailboats on lots of my assignments and I even carved one my pumpkin for Halloween! Hahahaha isn't that some cool bean sauce?! It is my only escape.

So what do you do when your....... "boss" is doing things that you disagree with or that you believe isn't as beneficial as something else. Do you shut up and take your place or do you confront the problem and seek to rectify it and if so, how?

Stolling in my Psychedelic Shoes...10/28

October 28 should be considered a national cop hating day! It will be in my book for sure! Today two of my friends, one of them being my best friend, got pulled over . So I have a general hate of cops on this unhappy/unlucky day.

Speaking of cops, I was racing home with gas for our lawn mower and I was jammin' out to the radio and off of a sudden i hear sirens. So of course, taking into account today's events or not, I freak out. I mean just a little bit, but enough to so i about poop my pants and have a heart attack. So I'm frantically skipping from mirror to mirror and window to window and I don't see any cops or anyone being pulled over but the sirens are still wailing! And really loud too. Then I realize it the FREAKING SONG ON DANG RADIO!!!! So I pull over anyway just until I can breathe again. Then j continue onward going about 10 under just to be safe. I must say one of the more scary moments in my innocent life.

Although there was much trials and tribulations today there is need for rejoice! I found a new favorite activity: recoding the answering message! Oh my gosh so funny! A little off key but still hilarious! Call and see. (435-563-2453)
