Have you ever experienced something that made you realize being happy in life really shouldn't be that hard? It's absolutely scary when you sit down and come to terms with things that are really starting to bother you, that frankly shouldn't be happening. So this is where I wonder, why am I continuing to let it happen? Then I remember, I'm in my comfort zone. How horrible is that comfort zone, it just keeps you from everything you really want to do. Please nobody try and defend the comfort zone because it's an Ass Hole! Life should be fun, it should be scary and keep you on your toes and if you have a talent or a knack for something then you should go for it! Not sit around going "gosh I'd love to be doing .... but I just can't because I have this bill or that bill" or the best one I do is "oh well, I have this bill and that bill and I can just deal with the annoyances I deal with everyday because that's normal"! BUT WHAT THE HELL!!! No it's not normal! It's bull shit, and I call it how I see it! We get so sucked into things with people that we just push crap aside instead of dealing with the situation. It's like being in a shit relationship, when you ignore problems because you don't draw the line at what is allowed to happen and what really should not be happening.
Comfort zones.... please go to hell die and burn! You make life boring and I don't like that!

Vacation!
It's 8:08, Friday February the 3rd and tomorrow I will be departing on my first "big girl" vacation! I'm excited, I'm nervous as hell but I know I'll do just fine. I think the thing I'm more nervous about is flying on a plane. I've been once before, when I was a little whipper snapper and according to mom, fell asleep and I have no recollection of this event so therefore my flight tomorrow will be My first flight. I don't really have a fear of crashing, that's not what has me nervous. Hell I don't know what has me nervous, maybe just that this will truly assert my independence because I'm going on my own, no parents to hold my hand the entire trip or have them to rely on for things, or making sure I get where I'm supposed to be going. Ahhh! This is going to be so liberating!
So, where am I going?
That simple saying where people say I want to go to Paradise for vacation people automatically think of Hawaii or an Island out in the middle of the ocean. For me, it's Paradise California! My very talented aunt lives there where she blows glass and creates amazing things! I can't wait to see her in action and maybe even try some glass blowing of my own. :) The only states I've ever been to are Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and Oklahoma. First on my own is going to be California, never thought that would happen.

Last night I spent the better part of the evening editing photos, listening to music and having a lovely conversation with a new friend of mine Jim Nooney. Being a photographer opens up my world to so many new people, daily that I'm always learning new things. I really enjoy meeting new people and being able to have conversations with them that aren't full of drama or aren't related to things in my life but new things. :)
-- All day at work my annoying coworker kept saying "i hope you have a great time on your vacation" and it was EXTREMELY hard for me to not look him in the eye and say "yes I will because I don't have to deal with your sorry ass for a whole week!!!!" but I was a polite little angel, smiled and said "yes I hope I do too".
---I'm going to miss my cat while I'm gone I just know it. That little annoying fuzz ball keeps me warm at night or annoyingly keeps me laying in one position because some how, and this I will never understand she weighs 100lbs when she is sleeping! It's like sticking a bolder next to your leg and trying to move, it just doesn't happen! Maggie, my little love bug fuzz ball I miss you all ready.
Something that pissed me off today!

- In response to this nonsense, I find the fact that Religion is mentioned just blows my mind. In a country, better yet a world where Everybody, and I mean Everybody has a different "religion" (argue if you may) that we chose to pass a bill that will hurt not only people wanting to have a family but Children that are wanting to have a family, tax payers that will be paying more because these children can't get adopted due to RELIGION!!!! I don't have a problem with people having faith in something, or feeling that a higher power watches over them. The ring I wear everyday that say's "everything is possible with faith" should show you I believe in something. I just don't call that something God because then I'd have to explain God to people or having people assume it's "God", the same God they worship but it's not.
As this country grows more and more small minded, where we care less about others and are more interested in ourselves I wonder where we truly will be at the end of the year when it's all supposed to go to hell. I hope something happens, not the end of life it'self but something that will open peoples mind, heart, soul and spirit up to all that is out there, not just what they want to see.
On a lighter note this phrase to me really made my day and it's still making me smile.
