T-line.


A picture I took after class of my book that I read all through lecture.
 Thoughts. An idea from a book I've been reading called, "It's kind of a funny story" by Ned Vizzini.  There are many points in the novel where the main character is thinking and it got me thinking, ironically. Thoughts.  I am so thankful to be able to think creatively. 


I had this English teacher in high school that challeneged me to think outside of the box so far that I was in pain at some moments.  This teacher made such a difference in my thought process for critical thinking.  Little did I know or realize that this teacher allowed me to challenge my everyday thoughts too.  My perspective of the world. 


Although I graduated in 2008, and it's nearing the end of 2010, I'm glad I realized it before it was too late to use it.  Today, thinking.  Thoughts. Critical analysis.  Without those, I would just be an average 20 year old with a shallow and selfish mind.  Thank you.

Coffee Bean Lines

There are many times throughout the week that I claim I need coffee or I can't get through the day or even the next few hours.  Although I may feel that this is true, it's only the pure reliance that I have with the idea of drinking coffee and the whole Starbucks experience.  Does it improve my mood, yes.  Does it make me happy, always.  Does the adventure excite me, sure. 

It may be hard for some to understand that a $4 drink can bring something like happiness and satisfaction, and for others this is an easily understood concept, espeically those city slickers. Regardless of whether you like coffee, drink it often, or stick to creamers at your local barista bar, you feel it too.  You feel the smooth jazz or soft rock music playing lightly in the background, you can understand the atmosphere and the people who sip there.  Coffee is essential.  I am okay with it.  Silver lining? It is more of a green line today.  The green line that circles my iced coffee venti from my local Starbucks.  Happiness.  Bliss.

Perfect Lining

I feel that the more perfect the weather the more perfect my life seems. Of course, there are certain things that pull me back to reality but let's be honest, there is no place I'd rather be than my own pure reality.

Silver lining: this perfect weather. It is what you make it.
