The Future

Sometimes I am frightened thinking about the future. I don't want to be done with college. I don't want to be in the real world yet. I am excited to have my own life, support myself, and to be very successful. I know that I will be successful eventually. I know because, when I do something whole hearted and because I love it, it is always a success. It scares me to think of what I might have to go through in order to get there. Advertising is a very unpredictable world. People get fired and hired right and left. With the drop of a hat, I could go from having a life and a great job, to having to pick up and go somewhere else. I have my doubts about the career decisions I am making. I know I will do good work and continue to evolve in my creativity, but even people that are pretty good when they start get canned right and left. Sometimes I wish I had chose a career path that was a little more reliable and steady. I wouldn't be doing something that I loved, but at least I would know I would always be safe. I'm glad these thoughts only creep in to my mind on occasion because I am so excited about what I will be doing with my life and in my career. I totally see myself as an account planner. It is exactly what I want to do. I have never had the feeling of knowing what I wanted to do until recently. Planning is going to be perfect for me.

Yogans


I've been lucky to take part in many different types of yoga, and variations of yoga/pilates fusion classes. When I want a good workout, the best of these classes is Core Fusion at Exhale spa in Dallas. Unfortunately, its not the same experience as genuine, Eastern, traditional Yoga. You feel a little bit of zen in these types of classes, but it is nothing like the traditional teaching. I went to Heat Yoga a few days ago, and it was a great experience. I felt so great after the class was finished, I plan on becoming a member of the studio. Its not only a physical sensation, but a relaxed mental state that goes along with it. Heat yoga is the class where they put you in a heated room, and you do ninety minutes of traditional yoga poses that originated all over in Asia. There isn't music playing in this class and the lights are on. This doesn't turn off the type of people who value genuine yoga. The people in there are all shapes and sizes. They are avid students and aren't just in the class for yoga. They are people who have found a form of inner peace because of this part of their life. I would love to become a real part of this community and plan on doing so.

Dating Older

Dating older is the way to go. Older guys just simply have more experience. They treat you better, they know where to go and what to do, and they don't make the amateur mistakes. When I go on a date with an older guy, they tell me what time they are picking me up, where we are going, and they make sure that I have a good time. Younger guys, especially college guys, will say something like "Wanna meet up at a party?" That's cool if you don't' know the person well and you literally want to meet them there. But if you know them and are expecting the next step to be a cute date night or something, it sucks. When a guy asks if I want to meet up at some event or party, I initially think he is saying "Want to sleep with me tonight?" Speaking of that, older guys are so much more experienced in the bedroom. Contrary to popular belief, I think that older guys are less pushy and nicer intimately. I think they have less expectations and care more about me then themselves.

lawnmowers


I can't understand why lawmowers all over the country have decided that the best time to do their job is at eight o'clock in the morning. Granted, they have to get to a lot of houses so that they can finish their day earlier but it just so happens that where I am living is always their desired starting point. I can't wear ear plugs because there is a chance I won't wake up to my alarm clock. I don't think I am the only person that has noticed this whole conspiracy. I can't understand why someone hasn't come up with an electric lawnmower, or a silent engine of some sort. So, I'm stuck in the tragedy of waking up to a loud, annoying hum. It kills my morning everytime one. I am instantly annoyed and that is how my day starts. I hate lawnmowers in the morning.
