Thought for the day: Life has a mind of its own

You never know where life is going to take you.

You may think you have it all figured out and then…BAM! Life throws a curve ball at you that makes you rethink your previous plans.

One day you can be perfectly content with yourself and your current relationship status, then all of a sudden, out of no where, you meet someone…who is absolutely AMAZING!

Then what do you do?

You just gave yourself a giant pep talk about being content with being the single girl and focusing on other things besides finding someone…and then this happens?

OR you go all the way through getting your Masters Degree in a particular field…only to get to the realisation that you might have picked the wrong career choice…even though you thought the first one was “the right one” for you.

Now, it’s back to school you go to achieve yet another MA in a different subject.

It will all be worth it though, once you get the job of your dreams and your life one day begins…after the “I will be a student forever” stage.

Life also has a tendency to blind side you with other aspects of your life. In my case, family drama tops it all.

At least I can say, my family is NEVER boring. All I can say is I love them for the disfunctionalness…and my siblings are the cause of any gray hair that you can’t see thanks to my constant root colouring πŸ˜‰

What do you do when life decides it is time to change your course…no matter how drastic?

First I recommend screaming into a pillow…or punching something (preferably not another human being or living creature)

Then I suggest pulling yourself together…and going with what has been brought up to you to change. No point wallowing over something. Just go for it.

I personally think the whole issue with life having a mind of its own comes down to one thing..and one thing only…

God has a sick sense of humour. πŸ˜‰

 

Thought for the day: What lengths will i go to for Chipotle?

Hi, my name is Jordan Weber…and I am addicted to Chipotle.

“Hi, Jordan” *Group of people say in response semi lethargically”

Well, contemplating going 20 minutes by tube just to get it is great lengths right? I mean… I think that sort of means I have a problem. IT IS JUST SO GOOD!

I even have convinced my lovely friend, who has never experienced the awesomeness of Chipotle, to come with me to get some for dinner…and I will pay for it.

That is how badly I have been craving it for weeks now!

To bad I am not still in St.Pete where a Chipotle is literally a 5 minutes drive from my house…and from my work…and really from anywhere I am at any point in time.

That a plus I give to St. Pete…the rest of it….not so much my thing.

I just love Mexican food…and Chipotle is a happy medium between sit-down restaurant and fast food. One step lower than Carmelitas…and two steps higher than Taco Bell.

Yumm yumm.

Nom nom.

Now, only to keep myself occupied for a few more hours until I can get some Chipotle in my tummy πŸ™‚

Thought for the day: Heart breaker is my middle name

I hate to say it…but I feel like I am ALWAYS breaking someone’s heart.

How do you tell someone you only see them as a friend? Without hurting their feelings and crushing their dreams?

This not only applies for guys (my situation) but I am sure there are guys out there who have had the same dilemma when it comes to girls they hang out with.

Why must friendships always be compromised by emotions?

Why must one friend always develops feelings for the other friend…it always messes things up! ALWAYS!

Say you have a certain group of friends (males and females mixed) and then all of the sudden…one of the males decides to like you…and address his feelings.

Now you just sit there like GREAT…THINGS JUST GOT WEIRD. THANK YOU!

So you have to tell them the truth…you can’t lie to them or lead them on..that is just rude.

You tell them the truth. They get upset. Ish gets awkward. Lovely.

It is even MORE uncomfortable when you had a thing with a guy for a bit, but then something like Christmas break comes around…and you don’t see each other for a month.

A lot could change in that month.

You could realise you enjoy being single. Or that he is not the type of guy you see yourself with. Whatever the case may be…the feelings become blatenly one-sided when you come back.

Now the subject has been brought to your attention after three weeks of ignoring any signs that he still may have feelings for you.

AND..to add to the mix. You met someone.

WHY DOES LIFE MAKE EVERYTHING COMPLICATED?

I feel like I am always put in these situations….which end in heart break for the person of the opposite sex who finds me to be awesome and wants more than just a friendship.

I hate this. I have terrible luck…and I hate hurting peoples feelings.

But, I suppose the best thing I can do is be honest….right?

Thought for the day: And so it begins

Its day one of semester two and I am already eating my lunch in the news room.

Ahh the sweet life of a trainee journalist.

Starting off the second semester with TV Documentary…and let me just say. Although David tries to scare us all into thinking we will fail and have no life this semester…I think this class is going to be absolutely amazing.

I will get to show off my skills and personality with making documentaries that interest me. I can put emotion into the project, which makes it so much more fun than just hard news stories.

I think this semester is off to a great start. Minus the eating in the newsroom aspect, but today I was really just to lazy to go to the refectory to eat.

I only have class 3 days. I have great classes! Including sports on Wednesday nights! I can not wait! AND I found a place to dive to relieve stress.

Shame that the diving facility is so far away. Twice a week practices are do-able though πŸ™‚

Man! I feel like I will be a busy girl the next few months.

But as someone pointed out to me last night, I know what I want…and I go for it, no matter what.

Let’s get this show on the road!! Bring it on 2012 πŸ™‚

Thought for the day: Home, Sweet Home

Feels good to be back in good ole London.

As I run around trying to figure out my current money situation i realise just how much I missed this glorious city whilst I was away.

The expensive living. The public transportation. The hussel and bussel of all those around me.

It feels good to be home again.

Don’t get me wrong, I had a fantastic vacation.

Seeing all my family and friends was something I needed… but not for more than a few weeks.

After being away I realised just how much I have made a new family, full of wonderful, crazy people, from all over the world.

I love my London Family.

Seeing some of them last night made my so incredibly happy.

Oh, how I had missed them.

As we sat there and laughed, chatting over a drink in Harrow, it felt like we had never left London. Like we had not been separated for a month.

Nothing had changed.

There is just something about this city that makes me feel more at home than I do in Florida, my real home of residence.

Home is where the heart is.

One of my favourite sayings and its truly has so much truth behind its meaning.

Home really IS where your heart makes it to be.

For me, my heart is in London.

London is my home.
