One of my new years resolutions this year is to forgive and forget. I'm gonna start off with a clean slate. I'm not bringing any drama into the new year. It's time for truly a fresh start. I need to be more positive and not let other peoples attitude effect mine.

We took a random road trip to new orleans this weekend.. It was fun and eye opening. We saw hurricane katrina damage. Even though its been 3 years there's still so much visible damage. I walked through this one house that was completely destroyed. It was the saddest thing. I was literally shaking. I don't know if it was from sadness or shock, but it was uncontrollable. There was photos still attached to one of the bedroom doors, but they where all water damaged and faded but I could see a little girl in one of them. It was so sad to think that was someones house, that was all they had and now its gone and they can't ever come back home. At least not the way it is now and the way it has been for 3 years.

when i'm bored i read about random things.. today i decided to read about happiness.


"Numerous scientific studies into whether success leads to happiness shows that there is no quantifiable evidence to suggest that it does. What has been highlighted though, is that people who already experience high levels of happiness are significantly more likely to become successful later. Interesting! Happiness leads to success, not the other way around. Who'd have thought?"

i'm so hungry for thanksgiving.. and not even just for the food, but for the time i'll spend at my parents house. this with get me in the holiday mood, finally.

I've re found my enjoyment of reading and parks and laying low. I'm over the going out all the time and clubbing it up. Its time to relax and save money and enjoy the simple things in life.
