Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Is it??

Sometimes you have to ask yourself....
One of my cousin's has a quote from someone that intrigued me....

Life for Rent
I haven't really ever found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking
It's just a thought, only a thought
But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
I've always thought that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone and live my life more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me
It's just a thought, only a thought
But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive
If my life is for rent...
Dido
Don't these lyrics just peg me!! At least I am not in denial any longer....

Dancing Etiquette 101
An old email....
Dancing Etiquette 101 by Me
1. If a woman looks hesitant to groove with you, she probably doesn't want to.
2. Don't dance with friends of the girl that is interested in you. It's just not P.C.
3. If a girl literally has you at arms length while dancing, there's a reason.
4. Don't keep trying to pull the girl in that has you at arms length by grabbing her hands to put them around your neck.
5. Don't stick your leg between a girl's legs and try to bounce them around like they're riding a bull. This is not a dance move!!
6. A slow dance is not appropriate during a fast dance tune. This is only appropriate when the two people are into each other and even then only under special circumstances.
7. Keep hands and other body parts above the hips and below the ribcage while dancing with uninterested girl. Trust me, if an "accident" happens, this will not make the girl more interested in you. At this point, you are just a pervert trying to cop a feel.
8. At the end of the dance with now irritated, uninterested girl, whatever you do, do not try to kiss her!!! This is totally unacceptable and may result in possible painful repercussion for the guy.
Just trying to keep it real and simplified and hoping that this helps someone in the long run ; - )
Love and kisses,

Quarter Life Crisis
Some things just need to be revisited now and again...
They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.
You look at your job...and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.
Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot start to look pathetic.
You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself...and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!
What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out!

How to Make a Beautiful Life
This was in one of the birthday cards I received. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy so I wanted to share.....And you know how much I like to share ; - )
How to Make a Beautiful Life
Love yourself.
Make Peace with who you are
and where you are
at this moment in time.
Listen to your heart
if you can't hear what it's saying
in this noisy world,
Make Time for yourself.
Enjoy your own company.
Let your mind wander among the stars.
Try.
Take chances.
Make Mistakes.
Life can be messy
and confusing at times,
but it's also full of surprises.
The next rock in your path
might be a stepping-stone.
Be happy.
When you don't have what you want,
want what you have.
Make Do.
That's a well-kept secret of contentment.
There aren't any shortcuts to tomorrow.
You have to Make Your Own Way.
To know where you're going
is only part of it.
You need to know where you've been, too.
And if you ever get lost, don't worry.
The people who love you will find you.
Count on it.
Life isn't days and years.
It's what you do with time
and with all the goodness and grace
that's inside you.
Make a Beautiful Life...
The kind of life you deserve.
Peace Out ; - )

To sleep perchance to dream....
Or something like that. To sleep would be a wonderful thing in itself. I think in the last 96 hours I have had a total of maybe 10 hours of sleep and I think I am getting a little cranky at this point. Then why am I up writing this crap, you may be asking yourself or not? Well, I am hoping if I babble enough that it will make me sleepy. It's only Tuesday night and I feel like it should already be Friday. However, I don't want it to be Friday yet because of all the crapola I have to get done this week. There are really not enough hours in the day to get all the stuff I need to get done, done. I know I am not the only one that feels this way and that makes me a little sad about our lifestyle. I truly believe in having "siesta" time in the middle of the day and a mandatory 5 weeks of vacation every year. Other countries have it, why can't we? If we did, we might not be as cranky of a population as we have become. But hey...that's just my opinion on it.
Alright, I think I have done enough babbling for the evening....So off to trying this elusive thing called sleeping ; - )
Love and kisses,
Rosebud

Birthday weekend 2005
I had to forego my traditional birthday week this past year and condense it down to a birthday weekend. But no worries, it was a great time! My liver is still hating me and I am shy of a few more brain cells but I keep convincing myself that it was all worth it ; - ) Thanks for all the birthday wishes through phone calls, text messages, cards, and emails. Of course, thanks to those that were able to personally wish me a "happy birthday." It was a great weekend!! I will just do a quick rundown of some of the antics....
-Went for dinner and a "couple" of drinks at Pinky's with Johnnie, Arum, Dawn, Mike, Christian, and Stacy on Friday night. Opened some gifts....still a little surprised about the size of the "foot" massager.
-Then went to Creekside for a couple of more drinks with Dawn and Johnnie. Then Boardriders and then Tiare's. Was told that I became the "Dancing Queen." Finally, went to bed @ 5.
-Woke up a couple of hours later to miserably go to work and then class. That was painful in all senses of the word.
-Rallied to go to a house party Saturday night. It was an awesome party and the house and view were gorgeous. Marlon was spinning some great tunes, Mike became bartender, danced with Dan (you dirty boy ; - ), and of course there was ice luge....Nice!!
-Nachos @ Lulu's and then crashing at John and Dan's place.
-Sunday-Hanging out on Mike's boat with some very cool people. Good times as always! BBQ at John's place with the same very cool people.
-Then finally home Sunday evening...to finally get some real sleep!!
It's all about Good friends and Good times!!
Love and kisses,
Rosebud
