Anneke

is this really pretty girl I know from back home in Georgia. I think I knew who she was, or at least of her for many years but it wasn't until just a few months before I moved up North did we become friends.
I like her because she's truly sweet. She is a kind, fun loving person who is easy to talk to. Her humor is unique and everything she does is somehow adorable. She has a cute hair cut all the time and dresses like a classy lady. Cuz she is one.
Right before I moved to Philly I met a couple of people I really wish I'd gotten to spend more time with.
You know, this past winter she gave me a Christmas CD that her brother's friends made. I thought/think it's hilarious. Crappy singing and sound makers. So great. Surprisingly my sister didn't find it funny. Don't get it.
Anneke is definitely one of kind. She will, without a doubt, have some really fun adventures in life. She'll also be a great wife and mommy one day. You can just tell.
I see good things for her. For sure.

This

is why I still don't hate Obama.

Because he's a real person, who's probably trying, even if he's not doing that great of a job. At least he's a person.

I woke up

calm and comfortable today. Not that most days I'm hyper and in pain, but today just felt better. Clouds covered the sky, but in a good way. They let bits of sun shine through, changing every hour or so, giving me a new view to admire. I wore long sleeves. Scarf. Hoodie. Boots. In a good way.
I did not make a plan, rather just went with where I was going at the time. Just came and went, came and went.
It felt nice today, the people seemed better. The air seemed comfortable with itself. Lingering until it wanted to move. Coming and going.
Simplicity brings me rounded and complex contentment.

I used to think

that exorcise was only a punishment. Something you had to put yourself through because of the lazy, gluttonous choices you previously made. When I would push myself while running or biking, I'd feel negative and unhappy about it. I'd feel like it was a chore I couldn't wait to be through with.
Yosemite changed that. Well, Yosemite changed everything. I realized that pushing yourself only means that next time, you get to go further. Next time, you can have just that much more fun.
Life is supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be enjoyed and embraced. Not survived and endured.
Yes, it does take some survival skills, but it doesn't have to be riddled with stress, anxiety and obligations. Life is what you freaking make it, man. There's no doubt about it.

So go knock on your friend's door tomorrow and say, "wanna come out to play?"

I have

my mother's hands. I only notice sometimes, but its a fact. I wonder if she ever had tendonitis in her left thumb, or if she ever thought her fingers were a little too long. I remember hers being cold. All the time. I don't think mine are. I hope not.

Dubstep

is the most awesome music genre of our time. so much freaking fun to listen to and, even more so, dance to! I thoroughly enjoy listening to it in the car, in my room, in the shower, and out at night. Look it up if you don't know what I'm talking about. Make sure you listen to whatever song you choose long enough to let it build though. It's important to completely grasp what you're listening to.
You're welcome.

Yes this is real

For a comfortable price of 15,000 dollars, you can have a tree bed of your very own!
