The Start of Something New

Yes another Disney reference. Don’t be afraid to try something new. Whether it is a relationship, moving to a new place, changing your major, making new friends, or trying a new food. I never like to try anything new because I feel safer sticking to the way I do things. However every time I do something new it becomes my new favorite thing and changes me as a person. Hang out with people that are exciting and are real “do-ers.” Secret sharing time: I always dreamed of doing Karaoke in front of a big audience and rockin the house down. The last time that I sang in front of an audience of about 500 people I had the only solo from the song Seasons of Love. I practice for weeks and weeks and I nailed the performance and had crying mothers coming up to me after. My next performance was in the play Fiddler on the Roof. I was Grandma Zitel and had my own song. Right before I was about to enter the stage the smoke machine blew in my face and I couldn’t see. I ran into a tombstone and it got stuck to me wedding dress, which I dragged out on stage. I was so confused I forgot my lines and butchered the song. Since then I have been scared to sing solo in front of an audience. I have dropped from a soprano 1 to a soprano 2, but I realize that it doesn’t matter. My goal is to have a couple pomtini’s and go to a karaoke bar where I know no one and rock it out…. And hey maybe I will meet my Zac Efron : ) Hopefully it wont sound like this….. .lol

A Moment

What is a moment? Pay attention because your whole life can change in an instant if you are not ready for it. If you do not cease an opportunity or say something to someone at the exact time when you wanted to say it, your life could be different. They say everything happens for a reason, which I am a firm believer in, but sometimes I think that you cannot sit waiting for someone to push you in the right direction. Make the right choices from what you know and God will guide you. That was deep... but it was something I needed to get off my chest and say to infinity. "Romances begin for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. They're shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they're gone." ~ The Notebook. Time is too short to think there is enough time to make things work out...... When you see a golden opportunity, go for it!

She’s Not That Into You: (for the Men)


She’s Not That Into You: (for the Men) Just because a girl is nice to you (to men), it does not mean she is interested. It’s a hard thing to understand but most of the time girls (being how they are) will lead someone on without being interested. How you know that she is not interest is? well if- (1) When a girl is interested in someone they usually keep fixing their hair. If they don’t give a shit how they look when they are around you- they are not interested. (2) If they answer all your questions without asking you a question in return then they are definitely not interested. (3) If they do not answer aim, text, or facebook messages – they don’t want to start conversations with you (4) eye contact is key- during conversations there must be eye contact. ADVICE WHAT WOMEN WANT: (1) Maintain interest with someone (2) Do not seem needy- it turns girls off. (3) being well dressed is a good plus (4) laugh (5) Don’t be too “touchy” at first- by that I mean “contact” like hand holding, arm around the shoulder, etc freaks girls out. – but it has to be done in order to move the relationship along. Test it out do not “give out” too much contact at first- go little by little so that a girl does not have to think too much about “What did that mean?”- Guys don’t know this but girls analyze EVERYTHING I mean EVERYTHING- So whatever you say don’t screw it up! lol

PS- If you are a Jonas Brother, you have nothing to worry about!

Creeper

Photobucket What makes someone a creeper? I think everyone would agree that someone who hides in dark ally ways, watching people is a creeper but now the term “creeper” has been given to people that are semi normal. Are you a creeper if you facebook stalk someone? Mmmmmmm…… If someone was stalking me I would call them a creeper, but I don’t consider myself a creeper when I facebook stalk people…. I mean come on! Everyone does it! As long as you don’t bring it up to people that you look at their profiles then I think you are considered normal…. If you are looking people up in the yellow pages or google someone, you are definitely a creeper! Photobucket What about texting? What’s considered “creepier?” The phone call, texting, IM-ing, or facebook/myspace messaging? Depends - if they don’t give you the phone number or screen name, go with the facebook friendship. Texting is less embarrassing then the phone call but obsessive texting can also get annoying and can turn into “creepy.” Two people that I recently talked to say that they are getting turned- off by their … idk … “crush” because of obsessive text messaging. – People know you receive the text message and if you don’t answer you are a douche bag and if you do answer you are in for a whole day of texting back and forth. If you like someone (in the pre- dating stage) I would cap it to 2 text messages a day and only use your second if they answer your text with a question. With all of this new media, someone needs to define “creepy.”

10 Guilty Pleasures

It’s ok to have guilty pleasures. Everyone has them but no one admits to them. They are things that make you feel good that you rather people do not know. (If you are thinking dirty things right now leave this blog page lol) I am going to come clean with some of mine so that other people don’t feel that bad about theirs. Photobucket (1) I watch Disney movies religiously (2) I will go to the supermarket just to buy a chocolate bar- (usually just once a month) (3) I rock out in my car to Hannah Montana (4) I wear slipper socks around my house (5) I own Darren’s Dance Grooves (6) I love Andre more than water (7) I wear sunglass even when its raining (8) I play with my Webkinz online (9) I take at minimum a 45 min shower (10) I put ketchup on 50% of my food Photobucket Don’t’ judge everyone does weird things. I think you would have to be weird to be completely normal. Everyone has their inner child still in them somewhere. Live it! Don't try to hide them!

Come Home

I love the band OneRepbulic. “Apologize” everyone knows for being an over played pop song but if you check out the rest of their CD they are fantastic. When I went to their concert they got a huge encore when they left the stage. After 8 or so mins of the crowd cheering, they came back out and did this song. LISTEN TO IT NOW! It makes your heart drop. “Come home, Come home. Cause I’ve been waiting for you For so long, For so long And right now there's a war between the vanities But all i see is you and me The fight for you is all I’ve ever known. So come home” The song makes you think of someone that you have not seen in a long time and suddenly you remember all the good times you had with him or her. Home is where the comfort is. Not having the people there that mean the most to you does not make it home. Now being out in LA, I realize that I will probably not be in my home town as often as I thought, and when I do go home it is unlikely that all the people from my childhood will be there. Home has changed. Some of the people have changed. You never expect some of your close friends to change but through time they do. Such is life.

What "turns girls on"

There many things that turns girls on besides looks and personality. (1) dancing. I don’t care if you think you can’t dance but who would not fall for a guy who could sweep you off your feet. I remember when I was down the shore with one of my friends and her boy friend came to stay with us. We played classy James Taylor music and he took her hand and started dancing with her. I don’t mean bumpin and grindin. I mean one hand around the waste and then twirling her with the other hand. If you are in a relationship with someone- (guys) take note: spin her around and dance with her and your will never loose her. You need a romantic or chill music? James Taylor is the way to go. It’s soothing and reminds me of the ocean. He is one of my faves. (“Fire and Rain” “Mexico” “Caroline I See You” “Sweet Baby James” ) Other things that “turns girls on” (2) a boy that can sing. (3) that can drive you around in his car (4) listening to you and remembering your conversations (5) thoughtfulness (6) being athletic and strong (7) ambitious. There are many more. It doesn’t take a lot to impress a girl, just remember the little things.

Pumping My Own Gas

I have never pumped my own gas before until today. In New Jersey we have full service everywhere which yes is sweet, but makes New Jerseyans look totally brainless and dumbed down every time we get gas out of state. At first I sat in my car for a minute waiting and then I realized that duh I am not in NJ anymore. I get out of my car and stare blankly at the simple gas machine. The whole process was very slow and the person behind me in line looked at me as if I were a spoiled rich snob that didn’t know my right from my left. To piss him off even more (since I am from New Jersey) I took a picture of myself documenting the process. Photobucket Another gold star for NJ!

Movin to Hollywood

I am about to move out to LA for 2.5 months. I have no idea where I will be going or exactly what I am doing. I am working for Garry Marshall and I am really excited!! He is quite possibly doing a movie this summer so I will be able to work on set as well. I feel like everything is falling into place for me. I am still a little down on the fact that I will not see my friends or spend more time in the wonderful New Jersey. I figure that I need a little song to get me into the mood. Cali is going to be so different then the east coast. I feel like I am going to loose weight, doing nothing. I am going to actually weigh myself before I leave tomorrow and see if when I get back if there was any difference at the end of my trip. (lame I know). From what I hear California is the “healthy state.” I was brought up in Jersey where grease is the main ingredient in everything. When I think of the average person in LA I think of models. Do you want to be on top? Photobucket Photobucket

He’s Just Not That Into You

How do you know when a guy is into you? There are so many misconceptions and things that can be taken different ways. I saw this preview for a movie today that was called “He’s just no that into you.” It looks brilliant. Everyone’s been through awkward situations with the opposite sex. Call it a relationship, call it dating, call it a fling, call it random hook ups. Do you text someone? Call them? IM? Facebook? Is it a private message? What the fuck, who cares right? Actually it does matter. If you screw up one thing up then the other person doesn’t know how to think. It’s one of those problems that can never be solved. Why is it such an issue? What if you fuck it up? Is that it? Does your chance end? The question that all girls have is: Who should make the first move? Most girls think it should be the guy because they don’t want to come off as a slut. Also it is a terrifying situation. Men should just man up and do it. HOWEVER, I came to the conclusion that whoever you are if you like someone, you have nothing to loose. If you are in the moment just do it. That’s it. If the man thinks you are a slut then they are obviously not for you or… he is just not interested. If he likes you he will call you again and stay in touch.

Titanic!

Photobucket Why does everyone have to be so down on Titanic for? It is one of the best movies of all time. Since it was one of the best movies of the 90s, it got over talked about and Celine Dion’s song got over played. But now 10 years later a lot of us seem to forget that it has won the most academy awards of all time! You know you love those lyrics “Near, far, wherever you are. I believe that the heart does go on. Once more you open the door. And you're here in my heart. And my heart will go on and on.” The editing and special effects in it are magnificent! Whenever I watch it I get into the storyline and become emotionally tied to the actors. It truly is one of my favorite movies of all time and it should be for everyone who grew up in the 90s. If you have not seen it (cough cough Meredith Crowe) netflix it right away or hell go buy it at walmart for 7.99 because you will watch this movie whenever you want to enjoy great special effects or a great love story. Here is the theatrical and dramatic trailer: Also here are some links to some behind the scenes stuff if you are interested! It is really neat! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMG3QR_zFjE&feature=related (< the Million Dollar Shot) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2ivkrHo-Eo&feature=related (< flooding the grand staircase) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5vW_ASR86s&NR=1 (< Sinking the Ship) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZZ7vA-VG38&feature=related (Rose’s Suicide) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s9cvACkcMc&feature=related (<Kate’s Action costume) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m9-8wqws74&feature=related (< Alternate ending which sucks!

Wear Big Sunglasses

There is no reason why you can’t wear ridiculously big sunglasses. Wear them in the morning on the way to class, wear them at night, wear them in the city, in the airport, or while driving. I even met someone who wore them everyday during our class in the winter. (haha over kill) Are celebrities seriously the only people who can pull them off? I wore sunglass all the time at my hotel in Hawaii and people seriously treat you differently. Before wearing them I was just a kid who didn’t care whoever saw my top half of my face. As soon as I put them on I became important. Everyone was supper nice to me because they thought I was trying to hide my identity. If you ever go on vacation try not wearing them for a day and then start wearing them and see how people treat you differently. If you wear sunglasses, no one will question you. Since you have the style of a movie star, people will treat you like one. (just in case you are) It’s fun try it! Photobucket Photobucket BEWARE: I said to wear them in the airport. Make sure you are not getting your ID checked or your bags checked or you might get the person in a bad mood. That happened to me and I almost got arrested because she thought I was pulling an attitude with her because she could not see my expressions. (more to come in a later blog about getting in trouble in airports).

The Notebook

Photobucket The Notebook is the best chick flick ever. Whenever you are depressed, watch it. I am not a crier but I always tear at the end. Every girl wishes to find love like the two main characters. In reality this almost never happens. They don’t see one another for 7 years but their love still last all that time. Is that possible? YOU WISH! Being a film major I can say that this movie had an excellent set crew. Every scene has remarkable color and is visually very beautiful. The soundtrack just screams tear jerker! Check out this scene: Every girl wants a guy that they can be their selves around. Someone you can act totally psychotic with and it doesn’t even matter. Allie, in the movie, struggles to make a decision whether to go with the nice charming rich guy or the poor heart throb that makes her feel young and playful. Through out this whole movie I was just screaming “dumb bitch choose Noah! Duhhhh!” But the truth is girls always have to second-guess themselves to death, even when the right answer is so clear. Its what we do. We have no idea what we want. Go watch it now, you know you want to!

Goodbyes

All the seniors are leaving to start their new lives after college. They avoid their goodbyes with their friends till the last day of school. Will they have as good of friends where they will be going next? Will they keep in contact with their old friends? Are they ready to move on without them? The answer to these questions is absolutely YES. If you are good enough friends, you will keep in contact with them for as long as you want. If both sides can put the effort into your friendship you have nothing to worry about. You cannot dwell on goodbyes. You need to accept them and move on with your main goals in life. Follow your dreams and your friends that you leave will support you and keep in contact with you. You determine your future. Keep going forward and you will meet new friends and keep your old as well. The song is way over done but still hits you every time! Life will repeat itself- You may have to leave your very best friends when leaving middle school, high school, college, moving to a new home, getting a new job, etc. When I had to make a major life decision, I listen to this song a lot. Here is a shout out to the coolest seniors at Northwestern University! An example of friendship that will last a lifetime! Photobucket Catch Your Wave!!!

Suddenly: Your World Can Change

Suddenly people know my name. Suddenly everything has changed. Suddenly I feel so alive. In the blink of an eye. My dreams begin to rain. Suddenly time, feels like the wind. It changes everywhere I go . I'm just trying to fit in. Now here I stand. And I'm still just that girl. I'm following my heart. In this amazing crazy world. I like this song the "Tis" sings. Work hard to be who you want to be but make sure you are still the girl/boy who you started out as in life. When you catch a break in life be more mature and get yourself in the spotlight but make sure your lovable personality does not change. I am giving a shot out to the "Tis" raining from Monmouth County, New Jersey!!! Ashley Tisdale has not (yet) been in the media for doing something out of character. She is a great role model and is representing NJ in a possitive way!

A Dream is a Wish

A dream is a wish your heart makes. When you're fast asleep. In dreams you will lose your heartaches. Whatever you wish for, you keep. Have faith in your dreams and someday. Your rainbows will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving. If you keep on believing. the dream that you wish will come true. (http://solosong.net/adream.html) ( Lyrics & Linda Ronstadt singing them) If you believe in something it will come true as long as you work towards your goals and never give up on the things that matter most to you. Think about it this way, if you want to be a Rockstar and do nothing about it, your dreams will never come true. Live life to its fullest and make every choice that you make count! Work hard and never get side track by "the easy way out!" The hard road will pay off in the end!

I started just coming up with images- I remembered what i liked but I dont remember in great detail why.... This is what I came up with: My Childhood in the 90s.... Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket This was my 1st decade and a half of my life!

Oh... Miley....

Miley Cyrus is one of my favorite stars!... along with like billions of other child fanatics..... but how close is to close when taking pictures with her dad? I mean the norm for my dad and me is to like stand like an inch away from each other and he will but his arm on my shoulder. Lets look at Miley’s relationship with good all Billy Ray.... lets start past to present.... Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket All have to say is ....oh.... miley ..... why. Vanity fair did this picture. Don't always trust these magazines because all they want to do is to make money and sell magazines. After the pictures where released Miley apologized and said she was sorry.... I think she was trying to go for a new audience rather than teenyboppers and it backfired and she apologized to save her old audience. But what about these pics.....??? Photobucket Photobucket I mean she is 14/ 15 years old people! Still a minor! What was Billy Ray thinking???? Miley also claims to be very religious. Which I kind of think is true. When I watched New Years in Time Square Ryan Seacrest asked her how she liked New Years and she replied..... " It's just like a God thing..." after that they cut straight to commercials lol Well w/es I still love Miley!

The Perfect Guy

Ladies column of the day: How do you know you have found the perfect guy? Is it that guy you hooked up with a couple times in college? NO! Its not! Even though he seems to be the perfect match for you in everyway, you don't want him to be the one. The perfect guy is a guy who appreciates you and finds you interesting before the couple of beers he has. He shares interest with you and he laughs with you at things that are not even funny. Don't go for guys that you only see in the "drinking scene." BUT also don't try to go searching for that perfect guy. He will naturally come to you if you are outgoing enough. He will approach you because he finds you interesting and he will talk to you during class or (not when he is thinking about sex). Then it is your job to bring him to a bar and drink with him and see what happens. It is possible to have a prince charming or a McDreamy. Don't waste your heart on someone who will not look back at you the same way you look at them. If they are only looking at your chest.... say in your head or out loud "fuck off" and find someone who is not going to ditch you or talk to you the following week. I am not saying don’t randomly “hook up” with people, that’s fun! Lol but if you have actual feelings for someone realize that life is too short to waste it on booty calling assholes- but then again don't be waiting forever for someone- don't be shy, If you think a guy is cute go for it and talk to him- you may have may things in common.

The Road to Take

The Road not Taken By: Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and sorry I could not travel both And be one traveller, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, and having perhaps the better claim because it was grassy and wanted wear; though as for that, the passing there had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay in leaves no feet had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference Photobucket This is a great thought of the day! Every decision you make affects your future, even in the smallest measure. I wrote about this in my college essay. When I was in middle school I had to pick either public or private school --> I picked public. At my public high school I had to pick fencing or field hockey/ ice skating. --> I chose fencing. With fencing I had to choose staying at a moderate fencing club or moving to a more advance club---> I chose more advanced. (Then I chose to be taught by a former olympian fencer).--> He was able to speak to coaches--> I had to choose Temple or Northwestern --> I chose Northwestern. --> At college I had to pick fencing or film--> I chose film.... and now I have a kick ass internship that will lead me to more decisions. Back track your decisions in life and look how far/ not far you have come based on your smallest and biggest decisions in life. ( If I did not pick Public school I would not have been fenicng , I would not have been able to go to Northwestern, I would of not gotten an awesome intership. ) Remember sometimes you have to give up things you love in order to get ahead in life. Its not bad, its business, and its Life! Photobucket What road will you take in life. Be careful with every decision you make!

Hannah Montana Phenomenon

Even though Miley Cyrus had a famous dad (Billy Ray), she still needed some talent to get to where she is today. Acting is HARD! Not only do you need to remember your lines, look good, and be your character but you also can’t break your act. I give her props for this audition tape. She was probably in a room filled with Disney exec board people and what was she 8 years old??? And her audition with her dad! I could never act with my dad and not crack up and lose character. Now Miley Cyrus is on every lunch box, back pack, and basically has a million things with her face on it. The question is, once she is old and grown out of Disney, can she be anything else but Hannah Montanna? Do you think she will peruse acting or singing? Will she be the next Carrie Underwood?

I Want to Speak a Foreign Langue

I wish my parents taught me another langue. If my grandfather were alive when I was born I would definitely have been taught Greek. Every time I see one of my friends get on the phone and speak something that is not English to their family, I get jealous. I want to be able to have a private conversation and not have to leave the room. Wouldn’t it be great to tell secrets or communicate with someone and not have to worry about who is ease dropping? Don’t you want to go back to the country that you are from and speak to the people? You can pretend……

Paintings are Cool!

The Burial of Count Orgaz, from a Legend of 1323, 1586-88 El Greco Photobucket This is one of my favorite paintings ever it is called The Burial of Count Orgaz, from a Legend of 1323, 1586-88, painted by El Greco. I saw it when I was visiting Spain. It depicts a legend from 1312 about the funeral of the Count Orgaz. When I was in Spain a man told me about the secrets hidden in this painting that are not mentioned in many art history text books. The two men holding his body are St. Stephen and St. Augustine. St. Augustine is the one on the left. If you look carefully the picture on the bottom of his robe is a picture of St. Augustine’s death- being stoned to death. (That’s how we know that’s him). The boy next to St. Augustine, pointing to the dead body is the artist’s son (El Greco). El Greco liked to put his family members in the paintings. I am pretty sure Le Greco did not want to paint this painting, and since he had to, he decided to put his family in the painting. If you look above St. Augustine’s head there is a man waving towards the viewer. There is Le Greco him self! The world above is the entry to heaven. The women in the red and blue is the Virgin Mary however Le Greco painted her to look exactly like his wife. The man to the right of the Virgin Mary is John the Baptist. Below them is an angle holding a transparent baby. It is supposed to represent the Count Orgaz’s spirit being reborn into heaven. The cloud tubes leading up into the picture represent the “birth canals.” At the top of the birth canals is Christ. The last thing I remembered that the man told me was to look at the man holding the keys in the sky. What are they for? The answer is: for the gate leading to heaven. But why are there 2 keys? The answer is that Le Greco went according to the Bible. In the bible it says “the keys to heaven.” Since the word in the Bible was plural, he made 2 keys. That’s all I know about the painting but I am sure there are many other cool hidden facts in it!

WHO DO YOU MARRY? (written by kids)

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (written by kids) I thought this was cute and wanted to share it. It is crazy what kids taken in these days......

Disney: Nothing is Wrong With Wanting to be a Disney Charact...

Photobucket When I was little I always thought of my self as Ariel from the little mermaid. I was definitely one of those kids who swam with their legs crossed pretending to be a mermaid. The Little Mermaid was the first movie I have ever seen in the movie theater, and since then I have called it my favorite Disney movie. However, every time I watch another Disney movie it also becomes another one of my top favorites. So I took another one of those online quizzes and this is what I got. Here is my result frm the quiz:
What Disney PRINCESS Are You?
Your Result: Ariel
 

You love to dance and you always find a way to make your dream(s) happen. You also love adventure and taking risks. You take care of your friends before yourself.

Belle
 
Cinderella
 
Jasmine
 
Snow White
 
Sleeping Beauty (Arora)
 
What Disney PRINCESS Are You?
Take the quiz here: http://www.gotoquiz.com/what_disney_princess_are_you Comment back and let me know if your results are what you thought. Now the question is, “Are you still a Disney princess?” Have you grown up and out of your Disney imagination? When you are middle aged will you still imagine yourself as a princess? I don’t know about you but I am the kind of person who watched the movie “The Polar Express,” and vowed to always 'believe' and always be able to hear that damn bell. However I came across an article that made me very depressed. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/01/080107110352.htm The article starts like this, “Most children are able to imagine their future selves as astronauts, politicians or even superheroes; however, many older adults find it difficult to recollect past events, let alone generate new ones. (Credit: iStockphoto)” Are you still a Princess? and or Prince?

Making a Name for Yourself

Remember how I told you the most random things happen to me???? Well I was going to do my first blog about "following your dreams" and "being who you want to be" BUT on my quest -of looking up blogs, I found my Grandfather in one. My Grandfather, Walter Szot won three football letters at Bucknell and played for five years in the National Football League (NFL) with the Chicago Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers. He even won the “Superbowl,” which back then was called the world championship, with the Chicago Cardinals. Photobucket My family never mentioned much of this to me until I did my heritage project going into high school. Although it is great fun to find out stuff about your ancestors, it would be nice if your parents told you about them (that’s all I am going to say about that) Ok so on the random side….. I find this blog mentioning my grandfather (http://steelers.typepad.com/my_weblog/2006/08/whats_in_a_name.html) and someone also had replied to the article also asking for more information about him. Well I sent all this information I had about him to the person. Well I find out that it was my uncle who asked the question to the blog lol….. who would of thought. Now he is getting this e-mail from me telling him all about my granfather..... who he already knows about lol Another thing that I found out during my school heritage project was that my great grandfather invented the “duck tube” I NEVER KNEW THAT!!! Photobucket My great grandfather is the man at the bottom. (mother’s side of the fam) So the Life lesson of today is: Check out your family history because it may lead you to some fricken awesome stuff about your ancestors. ALSO follow your dreams and become something amazingly cool because you never know if in the future, if your great great great grandchild is trying to find out something about you. Inspire your grandchildren who are yet to come!

The Mission: Catch Your Wave

This blog’s purpose is not to tell you about what’s happening to me every hour of everyday. The purpose is to give you a certain “thought of the day” or “story of the day.” I recently discovered that extremely random things happens to me, and I always want to tell people my stories. Which brings us to: “Catch Your Wave,” I order to be successful in life you need to be able to jump on the right wave and take it all the way (extremely corny) BUT it makes sense! If you don’t have the guts to stay on for a little bit, you will miss your chance for an excellent ride.
