::These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things::
Blessings come in so many shapes and forms. I've been given the gift of two people, in particular, who have a positive affect on how I choose to handle my daily affairs. I want to be a better person because of them.
My ading, Rita, encourages me to watch a lot of my negative behavior. The huge age difference between us has sometimes put me in a position where I almost have to take a parental role, which has been difficult. It's all for the good though...I hope...*crossing fingers*
Minh...wow. What to say about this wonderful guy? In the relatively short amount of time we've known each other, something truly phenomenal has been able to flourish. He's great support, he encourages me to get over my insecurities, and he gives me nothing but love. I'm just lucky...
INCREDIBLY lucky.
The following pictures were actually taken a few weeks ago. I love how they turned out. I just had to share them!
They're too cute! I love them both!!!
I remember how we shared a sunrise on a cold winter morning. Much like in this picture, the sun kissed his face with a golden glow, while he flashed a genuine smile. That combination is such a killer!
Here's a nice picture of two people that bless and enrich my life everyday.
::Happy Kitty::
I'm feeling very positive, and the older works I've posted on the Kitten reflect that. I know that everyone goes through the spectrum of their feelings every so often, and right now I want to emphasize and hopefully encourage that I stay in my current mind state. I've been hyper-sensitive which makes taking offense to anything very easy. It's just a matter of taking myself out of that situation and putting things back into perspective. It's hard to force myself to do that, but in the end, I'm happier that way. No use on focusing energies in the negative end of things. It's easy to forget that I'm blessed everyday with wonderful people, whether or not I see them regularly. After a good talk with those I love, and catching up with Charlene I'm reminded of what's important to me. I'm trying not to neglect the beauty of the human spirit, and how we're able to just endure through time and circumstance. It's hard to see those astounding qualities in myself, as I think it is with most other people as well. Having such wonderfully strong, vibrant, and beautiful friends has given me the reminder which I've needed. I'm just feeling thankful for those in my life. They all make me proud in their own ways, large or small. So, I dedicate all those posts to my loved ones. They were/are/will be, the inspiration I need to keep myself motivated. Thank you all. You don't realize that sometimes you kick me in the ass when I need it most. I'd be lost without you helping me shape and mold myself into the person I've become and will be.
Random Blurb: I can forget how blessed I am, and I thank you for reminding me time and time again.
::Family...Guy::
So I took this quiz. I'm not sure if this really sounds like me, but the show is cool. It's not so bad to be compared to Lois, I guess. Aren't they making new episodes? Yeah, I think they are. That's going to be fan-freaking-tastic!

Which Family Guy Character are you? Take the Quiz!
An update is in order, even though I really have nothing to update anyone on. I haven't been up to much, which is a very nice change of pace. I'm glad I have this opportunity to just relax a little bit. It's been wonderful to have some time to hang out more with my loved ones, especially my significant other. The opportunities to bond with him have only made me appreciate him more and more. Good times!
Hmm...oh yeah! I swear it sounds like I go to Vegas a lot. I can't really help it though, my parents have a timeshare. It's always a good opportunity to get out for a change of scenery. We're going to celebrate Independence Day there, so that's going to be quite a sight. That will help tide me over until they go back again to celebrate the New Year, and at that time I'll be fully legal and free to actually gamble and drink in that damn city. It's not that I necessarily would or will, it would just be nice to have that option you know?
Moving along, I just wanted to congratulate my lovely peoples who have or will be graduating from college this year. I know how much each and every one of you worked to get to this point in your lives. I'm extremely proud of you all and happy that you've accomplished your goals. I think I'll be getting that degree in about 3 more years? Who knows? Double major...whoa...what was I thinking?
So let's have a quick re-cap shall we? Hah, you have no choice! Apparently I'm just like Lois from Family Guy, I'm glad I have time to spend with loved ones because it makes me love them more, already have plans to kill 2 holidays in Las Vegas, and congrats again to those of you who've graduated. *phew* I tried to post this last night, but my internet connection crapped out on me before I had the opportunity to do so. So yeah! That was kind of boring and pointless, but I'm a boring person who does pointless things. =D
Random Blurb: Man, it's going to be hot in Vegas. At least I get to go to a Sonic!!! We so need one in San Diego.
*EDITOR'S NOTE: Shit, I totally forgot to tell you. I've been in a creative slump and in my efforts to combat my writer's block for the Kitten I've decided to just post all the past poems I've written with the hopes that it sparks some inspiration. I've written quite a few so just expect some updates on that project over the next few weeks. That was the main point for this post! Yay! It's not pointless anymore! Cool beans...I'm done for reals now.
