Embarassing moments

So this has been one helluva week so far and it's only just begun. So many papers due and so little time for normal things, like sleeping, eating, and watching tv. I've been so out of the loop that I've even forgotten how to socialize.

There is one embarassing story that I thought I would share with you kind folks since people seem to laugh at all of my embarassing moments.

It all began at the gym today. I was doing my regular ab workout, and I saw this really hot guy walk by. I thought to myself that if I try and work harder, he might notice me. Well, as he came over, he saw me rolling around on the mats, and just as I was about to turn onto my stomache, I kicked him with my leg and accidentally tripped him. He came toppling down onto the mat, nearly on top of me. He had a few choice words for me, but after I apologized, he seemed to calm down. He smiled and told me it was okay, but that he has the reflexes of a cat. At this point, I decided to interject with a sarcastic comment: Reflexes of a cat huh. Well, I guess you didn't use them this time. After the words came out of my mouth, I realized how bad they sounded. He simply stood up and laughed and walked away. Ugh, what a day.

To close this post, I will leave you with one of my favourite songs, Lips of an Angel - Hinder. It's a great rock ballad.

Enjoy folks!

Living In Fast Forward

So it's not just the name of a country song, it's a sentence that has some truth behind it. Being in school actually makes you realize how precious time is and how differently you see it. For example, I only think about the future. I never live for the present anymore. The first thing that pops into my mind every time I wake up in the morning is whether or not I have a test or an essay that's due in a week. Have you ever felt that way? That you live in the future rather than the now?

Sometimes life just passes you by and you don't even realize it.

Hopfully when I have some more time, I'll come up with a decent post.

Until then, and in the light of the present topic, I'm uploading the song Kenny Chesney - Living in Fast Forward for your entertainment.

Change

It's funny how things can change in an hour. I went from being happy about this school year to being completely depressed all because I was unable to translate a sentence into English. You know when you have one of those days where something just isn't working for you? Well, today was that day. My professor, seeing my frustration, kept picking on me. At the end of it all, he basically told me that I should just give up. He insulted me indirectly in front of the whole class.

I know he's trying to teach us self-confidence and blah blah blah, but honestly, when you're being singled out in a class, it just isn't very much fun.

I feel like everything I have worked for is just falling apart right now, and I really have no drive or motivation to keep going.

My mood certainly does suit the day. Foggy, rainy, and cold.

Another tune

So I've been pretty busy with school, and so has PinkPolish, but I decided that you guys are going to need a dose of some good music. I picked up this song from the Grey's Anatomy Soundtrack #2. It's a really great song called "Grace." It was played in the last episode in the previous season when Denny died. It's really a very serene song. I'll post something more decent when I get a chance!

Enjoy!

About Commitment

On doing stupid things

We've all been through them, or at least some of us have. One night stands are tricky thing. You meet up with someone for one sole reason, and then after you're done, you move on. But what happens when this person becomes your scapegoat? What happens when you get an "urge" and you always end up calling on this individual?

Unfortunately, I'm in this position now. I met KungPow about 2 years ago at a job I had. We "hooked up" a few times, and never really thought much of it. He's reliable, and good. (Except for the pidgeon cooing at the end of it...It still irks me to this day.) I bumped into him today at work, and I told myself that I would not give into the "urge" to take him out to the parking lot and have my way with him.

The nature of this post, however, does not suggest an action like that. Instead, like a sex-crazed monster, I yanked him by his tie and took him to my car. Oh yes ladies and gentlemen, right in the backseat of my car we did the horizontal monkey dance. In broad daylight, in a parking lot. I think I have sunken to DoorKnob's level.

On a side note: He didn't coo this time. He finally orgasmed in a normal way...or as normal as an orgasm can get.

Anyways, so after the monkey dance, he asked me if I wanted to go for lunch. I gave him this weird look and mumbled some sort of excuse that I had plans to meet up with a friend. I have a feeling that KungPow wants to actually date me. Maybe I should stop using him for sex. hang on a tick, he is a man after all. You think that he would appreciate the fact that I'm out for one thing. I'm not asking him to commit to anything, I just want him purely for one reason and one reason only. When did men turn into women? When did their feelings begin to dominate over their penis?

I think I really did a stupid thing today. And now, I'm going to pay for it every Saturday when I see him.

Or maybe not...

Cheers!

A cat and her brown eye

Realizations

Sometimes you feel like you're standing at the edge of a mountain, and there's something, or someone, behind you who just keeps pushing you off. I've been feeling that way for a while now. Just discouraged and wanting to give up trying not to fall.

I've come to the realization though, that no matter what you try to do, things will always go wrong. It's just a fact of life. In this game that we call "life" there are no set rules. You are just thrown in there with what you got, and you try to survive to see another round.

I've decided that I'm going to play hard and I'm going to play to win, despite people who think that I should give up.
