The World owes me

It's true. While I wish it wasn't this way, it is. They say good things come to those who wait. Well I'm tired of waiting!!! 

While life doesn't seem to be going my way lately its life and I have to get through it. 

Do bad things happen to go people? Yes

Do you get your way simply because you deserve it? No

Do people less deserving get what we should? Yes

AND IT SUCKS! While I feel like life is kicking me while I'm down lately I know it will turn around one day. I hope to get a decent paying job I don't despise sooner than later which will allow me to move away from all my problems. I'm not sure where I want to move, but I know it's not here.

Funny Idea, horrible result

My latest netflix movie: The Invention of Lying. The plot is quite simple. A man figures out he can tell a lie. He's the only person who can in this very honest world. As the story goes he begins to use the power to get his way at life. Think Evan All Mighty. While this is a great idea, it's a big flop. It's as if the writers tried to be funny as they are on The Office. But it falls short of Ha. 

One thing I noticed was the lack of lines for the actors. Ricky Jarvas's character runs around telling lies to people to fix the world, but you can't actually hear what is being said because it's just music playing. This happens a few times in the movie. Now, I understand this is a technique used to speed up the plot or storyline. But was the story line that weak? Oh well. 

Needless to say I didn't rate this one to high on my netflix review. I'm sure it will be one the end up on tv that we'll watch while we do laundry and organize our closets. But until then I wouldn't waste your time on this one. 

And then there was one...

While I try to find the motivation to study for my last college final EVER. (trust me this is hard thing to do) I can't help but think how fast it all went by. I said my goodbyes to the sorority last night and it was bitter sweet. I know it's time to leave and move on with my life, but my sorority had become a comfort to me in college. I met a lot of amazing girls and did things I never would have other wise. 

As I get ready to go join the big girl world and avoid my last final I have no clue what to do next. Jobs are hard to come by but I can try and find one. I just don't want a desk job where I'm bored. I need a job that's creative and active. I want to go take some photography classes and other artsy classes. I'm not artist but more of a crafter. But it's something to keep me occupied. I've worked two jobs on top of going to school full time and being in a sorority for the last 3 years. Needless to say I would be lost with out my planner. But now that I won't have anything going on I need to find a hobby or two. or three. 

Back to studying I go. 

A life of travel

OH how I would love to just pack up and travel. I'd be so content traveling the world and taking pictures and learning about different cultures. I would if I could afford it. But for now my travels will be on a budget and local. Just go visit friends I have around the country. It's my goal to visit all 50 states. I figured our country is so diverse and has a lot to offer why not experience it!? I'd love to take a road trip across the country but that cost money too. 

One exciting place i'm going to visit is Ecuador!!! My friend Angie just took a teaching job there and it's a relatively inexpensive country and airfare is the same as if I was flying to Boston from Atlanta so why not!? I'm hoping to get a few dollars from graduation to fund this trip. I'm not sure when I'll be able to go but I know I'm going!!! 

Angie and I also have a weekend trip to Huntsville, Al lined up. I know it doesn't sound like the most exciting town, but it's close enough to drive to on a tank of gas. Plus there's the NASA space center (I visited it in 5th grade and remember it being cool) Plus there's some safari zoo and some underground caves that all seem to have good reviews. 

So if any one out there knows of cool places to visit or cheap travel ideas feel free to share!!

Buying the Dream

That's right. The powerball. it's currently at $252 Million. Now, I'm an educated rational person who knows the odds of winning are slim to none. But why did I buy two tickets today? Because of the dream. Just imagine what you could do with all that money. Ok, so half would go to the oh so lovely government but still. Half of 252 million is still A LOT OF FREAKING MONEY!!!!! 

What to spend my money on: I'd help out my family and friends I know could use some cash. The economy isn't exactly every ones best friend at the moment. I'd invest some so I didn't have to work. You know the concept, "my money makes me more money". Then I would travel. I would go to disney and go in style. Do everything first class. Heck! I could pay to have the park open to myself and 100 of my best friends. Then I would travel the world. Just go running around meeting people and taking pictures. 

I would rebuild and old house on some land. One with a wrap around porch would be nice. I don't need a mansion, Just a nice place to call home. But I'd buy a mountain house in the Appalachian Mnts and one out west in Colorado so I could ski. And I'd need a beach house too. 

I would do fun stuff too like pay someone's bill at a restaurant or leave a crazy big tip. Little things like that. Or just put some money in someone's mailbox.

Life would be grand if I won. But I doubt that will happen so I guess I'll go to school and keep applying for jobs. But man it would be cool if I won.

What would you do if you won the lotto?

We're all a little bit the same

While sitting in my anthropology class my professor shared this documentary preview with us. It comes out tomorrow ( April 16). It follows 4 babies being born around the world. The four babies are from Namibia, Mongolia, Tokyo and San Francisco.

While I don't think there's a political motive behind this documentary, it's about the human spirit and how we're all really the same when we start out in this world. Plus who doesn't love cute babies?! I'm surprised Oprah hasn't found this out yet. It's something she would latch onto. I hope to see it soon (it's in select theaters). But I'll post my reaction once I see it.

Personality of Pets

Isn't it odd that animals seem to have their own personalities too? Its funny to watch them and wonder what's going on in that head of theirs. 

This is Snowball. I rescued her when she was a little kitten from a dumpster. She's quite smart for a cat I think. She lets us know when she's hungry or wants to go outside. And if you don't get her what she wants, She'll start shredding paper. Odd I know. But she's supper supper soft and you just want to pick her up and hold her. 

This is Gracey. She's stupid. I say that in the nicest way. She doesn't communicate, just has a blank stare. She doesn't really chase bugs like normal cats. Just looks at them and kinda reaches her paw out. She won't curl up in your lap, but simply perch on you leg. 

These aren't mine, but I saw them at the zoo and though it was cute. 

This is Kobe. He sleeps like this. He quite the dog too. He's very smart and very friendly. You'd just have to meet him to know his personality. He thinks he's a little dog and wants to sit in your lap.

The following are just funny/cute animal pictures: 

Dolphins are my favorite.
