Let the beat control you

Sometimes when you go with the flow of life, things work out pretty well and fall into place. There will always be things you cannot control, but go with the beat because that's where you probably should be. Had a sexy summer night Friday, and Saturday pretty much was mobilized to waste a beautiful day. It's almost that time of the year where my FAVORITE holiday is here. Hello 4th of July!

Bubbles

Why is chasing something that floats into space and burst in seconds so entertaining? As kids were taught certain rules in life…

1. Don’t talk to strangers


2. The golden rule-Be treated how you want to be treated


3. Always look both ways before crossing the street.


4. And that if you eat your dinner, you’ll be rewarded with dessert.


But when were an adult….


1. Talking to strangers at the bars is the only thing we end up doing. Who are these people and what is wrong with 89% of them.


2. Let’s face it, nobody today is so genuinely nice. There’s a motive behind everyone’s action just to get what they want.


3. Drunks never look both ways before crossing the street. Have you ever sat on Huntington Beach Main street and watched people flail into the street?


4. Rewarding ourselves gives us motivation to do something good. Hello a hard week at work Monday - Friday means I can get wasted all weekend!!


The younger we are, the more older we want to become. When your young being an adult seems like the most amazing thing ever because nobody can tell you what to do or when to go to bed.


It’s the end of the world being a child and only having to worry about what’s on the lunch menu at school the next day. Fuck, I hope it’s chalupa day again! Actually I was one of those kids who only ate the cafeteria food like twice from K-8th grade. My Mom always let me pack my own lunch and my peers were clearly jealous that I had a bag of brown sugar and chocolate pudding compared to the typical PB&J. No wonder I still enjoy syrup, fun dips, and Capri-suns. Maybe I’ll quite the sugar thing when I have diabetes.


Back to the bubble subject, I feel like parents are missing out on one major life lesson that would benefit today’s society. To stop chasing the things in life that don’t last long. Like bubbles! They’re so pretty, fascinating, and amazing that you can blow into a magic want and create things that pop. But really kids this is a lesson in life you don’t want to pursue. The quick fix will not last long and create a longer road to success than before.


Don’t chase something that isn’t going to last long. Effort, time, and patience isn’t as entertaining as pretty bubbles, but it’s actually beautiful in the long end.

Throwing that slimy wet fish back in the ocean

    Come here little fishy, your going to be thrown away into the Atlantic far away as possible from me. Be careful of where you choose to swim because I would never want you to drown.
    The past week has been anything but ordinary and I don't even know where to separate my thoughts from what is real and what's gonna happen tomorrow. How come we meet certain people in our life at certain times for a specific reason? Everything has just gone in one huge fucked up circle, zig zag, love triangle, heartache, manipulated minds, and anything else possible.
    I feel like I've been dealt with these cards as a test, and failed because I knew what I was getting into and knew that I needed to get out. I feel like now I'm suffering emotionally because I failed one too many "tests." It really does hurt right now, but I know that if I keep my head high, continue to be the person I am, don't try to "get back" at anyone, and have the good heart I was given, then I know I'm capable of anything and something amazing is around the corner for me.
     One day I'll look back and laugh at my stupid decisions because I know that I'm going to be successful in whatever I choose to pursue. I know that those people who have intentionally hurt me will get their karma. I already know I have loyal friends and family and a good head on my shoulders. I've made plenty of bad choices, but I actually have learned from most, unlike others who continue to make the same mistakes making that a habit.
    Life's too short to be mad, and to tell you the truth I'm actually relieved by it. When I think back to the day I kissed you and knew I was in for a ride I didn't know that this is where I was going to end up. It's been a long, stressful, learning, exhausting, un-trusting ride. But hey, on to the next one! Except this time I'm not gonna pretend those red flags are hitting me in the face.
