Heppy Belated St. Patty's Day!!! That's it for now.

Quote of the Day... "When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen." - Ernest Hemingway

Isn't this what people should do? Friends are supposed to listen to eachother and help solve eachother's problems. I've been a little selfish lately. A friend of mine is going through a really rough time and I haven't exactly been there for her. She could use a real friend but I'm not really sure of how to handle the situation since it is one that I have never been in myself. Guess I'll just have to suck it up and apologize for not being the friend I should be.

Time to gripe now... On the man front, I just don't understand them one bit! Why is it so hard for guys to talk about feelings? I understand that females are much different in this aspect of "relationships", that we tend to relate emotions with sex whereas men do not.(very keen insight from a wise source). But I think sex requires some sort of emotion to even occur. You have to be at least attracted to someone to sleep with them, and a part of being attracted to someone is liking their personality which involves emtions. It is all a vicious cycle. I'm starting to think a convent is the way to go.

Quote of the Day..."They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself." - Andy Warhol

Many many things going on at once lately. Did you ever feel like your life is suddenly spinning out of control....that nothing can go right? A very good friend is pissed over something stupid with out listening to the full story, money sucks, my job sucks, the guy I'm seeing has major issues, family is acting weird....just everything is going wrong at the same time.

I have come to the realization that keeping my mouth shut about everything does not work...pretending that things will go away or get better over time does not make everything ok. This is something that I am more than used to...I never voice my opinion and I always hope for the best and that things will just work themselves out. Enough already!! I'm tired of playing the nice girl card because it gets me nowhere if it doesn't make me regeress. I guess I have always been a sort of daydreamer, one who thinks fairytales come true and perfection is possible. I realize it's all bullsh-t. Nothing is perfect, what you want has to be worked for and nothing you want just comes to you. Nothing in life is free and there are always consequences for your actions.

No more "one step forward, two steps back" for this chick. I'm not keeping anything in anymore.

Quote of the Day..."And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." - Abraham Lincoln

Sad note...My great uncle passed yesterday. He was a good man with a loving family who lived his life to the fullest. I wasn't very close with him due to the fact that he lived far away for much of my life, and we really didn't hear from him very often. However, he will be surely missed.

On a better note, I am very happy for a friend of mine who has an interview today. I hope all works out well for him, and I'm sure it will.

Quote of the Day..."Don't compromise yourself, you are all you've got."--Janis Joplin

Quotes are pretty cool, I think they give some sense of inspiration and hope when read...I think I'm going to make it a daily ritual to find a quote and put it here. I've heard this quote before and find it to be very true. If you pretend to be someone you aren't, then who are you really?? You shouldn't change your morals, beliefs, clothes, thoughts, or anything for that matter, to please anyone but yourself. If you are untrue to yourself then how can you be true to others?

Ok, I'm going to go into a little rant about the opposite sex... I have been a little unhappy as of recent with someone whom I have a "relationship" with. We get along wonderfully, and he is a really fun, handsome, responsible, hard-working person...so why can't he just give me a simple answer when I ask a question? It always seems like a runaround. I have discovered things recently that I did not know about him that bother me to a point, but can most certainly be worked through. Are men incapable of discussing feelings or clearly expressing emotion? Do they enjoy confusion and mess in their lives? This is what I am experiencing and it is major suck. I'm a little happier that he called to discuss the situation last night, however I was half comatosed considering he woke me up. Hopefully things will be cleared up soon. It is good to know that I have many friends who are willing to help and listen to me complain, give advice and support my decisions, even if they might not turn out well. Friends are a staple of life, without them can anyone really live? I hope there is not a single person in existance that can honestly say that they are without a single friend. That would be a truly sad experience.

Ok, so here's my first and foremost rant whilst blogging...did you ever feel that your boss puts way too much pressure on you or tells you you are doing a really great job just to get you to do it. My boss recently reassigned me to a lower position, but made it out to be as if it was a better deal than what I had been doing before.....WRONG!!! It sucks...I really don't fit in with the people in that "department" if you can actually call it that. Everyone speaks Spanish, I really don't get along with the other person who works there, and the new position comes with many responsibilities that I ammore than unwilling to take. I'm just not a happy camper about the whole situation and am almost ready to leave if necessary.

Yay Blogging...I have now entered the realm of the Blog thanks to one of my closest friends. At first I didn't feel that my thoughts should be on public display, but after thinking it over, it might be nice to get some feedback on issues going on in my life. We'll save the issues for the next entry though, I am a virgin to blogging, so I guess I'm still a little shy about it.
