Subject:	TAKING YOUR WISHES WITH YOU
Time:	12:51 am.

Every culture has its rituals around life, love and death. I believe in commemorating the passage of time, events and the people who have shaped us. But seven years later, it's time to let go of certain rituals that only bind us to a place of tragedy. Life is short, afterall. And I know, he would've wanted it this way.

So this weekend, I took a special trip and trusted in something else good in front of me.

A billion years ago I used to be able to lie on my stomach and then reach backwards with my head and toes. The objective of this was to touch my toes to my head. And I could do this. I just tried again.

lol

Uh...

I can now lift my head slightly upwards and bend my legs so that my toes point upwards. This is nowhere near flexible.

Oh well. Practice makes perfect!

DO NOT! I REPEAT DO NOT BUY FROM VISTAPRINT.com. take your busines somewhere else. it was a nightmare!

"DO NOT USE VISTAPRINT!!! Check your bank statements for strange $14.95 purchases.

Vista print also sells your credit card information to a company in the US. They will begin charging you about 6 weeks after your VistaPrint purchase. ($14.95 per month)They will then tell you that you signed up for a 30 day trial through a pop up and never cancelled. You will have never provided your info directly to this company. The party that is charging you will not have ever contacted you in any way. They will claim that you must have recieved the email in your Bulk folder."

Here's all the lovely reports i should have read before conducting business:

I have stopped taking my crazy pills. It will be for the best. I will fight bipolar the natural way. ;)

Apparently you're not supposed to stop taking antidepressants overnight. I'm just not refilling my Rx. No sense in drawing it out. We'll see if I end up killing myself.

Work is good. Health is great. Love life is nonexistent, but that's not so bad.

Alright, I'm past being productive at work so I guess I will go home. I have no plans tonight. And that's not so bad either.

Music:	Madonna - She's Not Me.

Seldom do I download an entire album, no less let it play all the way through without getting bored. She has done it again, reinventing her sound by hooking up with the right people - Babyface in the 90's, Stuart Price early 2000's and now Timbaland and Neptune Sounds for her latest album. She's also forward thinking, recently leaving the dying record label industry to sign on with Live Nation for an all encompassing 10-year deal (brand, albums, touring, merchandising, fan club and Web site...) worth $120 million dollars.

'Hard Candy' has not left my car stereo, iPod or iTunes play list since I've downloaded it. My favorites? 'Devil Wouldn't Recognize', 'Candy Shop' and 'She's Not Me' which I've dubbed as my new theme song. =)

Subject:	Soda
Time:	9:49 am.

I've never been a big soda drinker ever since I was little not because of health reasons but mainly because I've never had a taste for it. When I was younger, I felt like the carbonation burned my throat, so I never asked for it when I was little. My brother made up for the soda that I didn't drink though. Now, I stay away from most dark colored drinks because of teeth staining. But after doing a bit of research, I'm glad I've never been a big fan of soda.

For my speech class, I did some research on the sweet little drink in an attempt to persuade my class to cut back on their soda consumption. I always knew there was a lot of sugar content in soda, but I was appalled when I found the specific numbers. The daily American consumes one and a half 12 ounce cans of soda a day. At this rate, we would each consume 54 gallons of soda at the end of the year. Now, let me share with you how much sugar would be in those 54 gallons. In a Pepsi, there are 69 grams of sugar in a 20 ounce bottle (the small individual bottles) - which comes out to roughly 18 teaspoons of sugar! Can you imagine putting say 18 teaspoons of sugar in your coffee??? So with that fact, I did the math - when we consume 54 gallons of soda a year, that's 110 pounds of sugar we are taking in! No wonder why 60 % of American adults are either obese or overweight. Cities like San Francisco (soon to be my new home!), have put an extra tax on beverages containing high fructose corn syrup in an attempt to cut back child obesity in the city. An occasional soda as a treat is fine, but when people drink soda like they should be drinking water - I find it disgusting.

Most people don't know that I super love shabu shabu. What is it? Shabu shabu is meat and vegetables that you boil in water. You dunk it quickly in water and then take it out. You then dip it in ponzu sauce. I neglect to mention any other sauces because they don't exist to me.

Anyway, I went to a shabu shabu restaursnt today. And I walked in at lunch time and I said, "A table for shabu shabu please." The waiter explained they didn't serve shabu shabu until after 5pm.

I exclaimed, "Shabu shabu!" And he just looked at me blankly. I was so disappointed. I haven't had good shabu shabu in awhile. And needless to say, I am in a all kinds of hurt over this.

GIMME THE SHABU!

Other than that, life is about the same. I get into petty little arguments with my BFF. The fact that she's only two years old (ok ok... will be in June) doesn't matter to me. I tend to think that God created us all as equals. So what if I'm nearly three times her size and have a much larger vocabulary. If she wants to throw down... so be it. I can take her.

In other world news, it looks like I've lost about 8 pounds. I have another 5 to go before I'm happy.

Seems so strange that the weight has been lost. Where did it go? Did I poo it all out?

Maybe I should be like Elyse Sewell's roommates and weigh the poo. I think the practice is to weigh the food going in and weigh the poo coming out. Actually, I don't see the point of it. There is NO way that I'm touching feces. No way.

No.

No.

I don't change diapers. Why would I dig poo out of the toilet?

Did Pilates today. It felt awesome. I really like pilates. So fun! The machine is the bestest!

I am a few light years behind, I'm sure, but this morning I walked to the new station around the corner and took the Trax to work.

No more parking tickets.

Addendum: On the first day of my commute to work the train I took hits a semi a few blocks after I got off.

Music:	Bitter Sweet - Don't Forget To Breathe.

The friendship between Clayton and I ended today at aproximately 3 p.m. Mountain Daylight Savings Time. I laid on his bed and listened quietly to every crude word that escaped his lips without reservation. After several attempts at speaking without being interrupted I stood up and gatherred my things. I'd like to think that the awesome dynamic of our relationship dissipated because we've often strayed from friends to lovers to friends. The reality is he is addicted to heroin and his withdrawals are the culprit of every single irrevocably damaging words.

I don't want to be your friend any more.
You were never my friend.

I left without slamming the door.

I took a recent vacation to San Francisco and fell back in love with the architecture of the city. Since I have family there, I’ve always been quite fond of the Bay area. If Denver didn’t treat me so well it would be one of the few cities I would consider calling home. Flexing my photography muscle, check out a few shots I took during my trip...
