These Are a Few of My Favorite Things....

Trying to post a blog entry about things I love is hard. It's like on those dating sites where they ask you to write a self summary and it takes you a half an hour to write a paragraph about yourself. Come on? How hard can it be to talk about yourself? Well, here goes nothing.

As many of you know, I am obsessed with computers. I have loved them ever since my dad started working in the field. I've been around them my entire life pretty much. I never had my own until I graduated high school and after a few years I bought my own, and for some reason when you spend your own monwy on something like that it means a lot more to you....   After you research it, and price out the competition.....   and after I saved for it over a whole summer....   That kind of thing. So finally in the summer of 2009 I bought the Beast.

Yep. There he is. A beautiful, state of the art piece of machinery build for nerds to get their game on....   But I use it to do homework on....   You know how it is.  And I do nerd out when I get the time...   Same with reading. I love to read, but I never seem to have the time anymore.

It's kinda funny though. I hated reading until the 7th grade once I finally read the first Harry Potter after years of my grandmother trying to get me to read them. It took off from there and I was that weird kid in middle school and high school who read all those fantasy books about vampires, werewolves, and other things that don't exist, which is kinda funny cause I love to draw things that don't exist: fairies, dragons, unicorns, you name it, I've drawn it. Lately, now that my friends and I are of age, I have had an obsession with drawing tattoos, which is another obsession at the moment: koi fish.

 I draw them everywhere....   Thinking of the fact that I am a pieces doesn't help matters. Just the deeper meaning behind the fish, the Yin and the Yang, all that good stuff. There is a connection. Maybe that's why I am so attracted to the beach. It's my favorite place in the entire world.

 My family used to go on vacation in Cape San Blas, Florida and it has become a place full of memories and life lessons. I think things like that always happen on family vacations. We used to go to Ohio a lot to see family and my favorite part was the car trip. We would always leave at about dinner time and travel through the night and arrive at some freakishly early hour in the morning so that my sister and I would sleep the whole way.

I guess that's why I love night driving so much. There's something about driving at night, especially in the summer, with the windows down and the music bumping that is just really soothing for me.

I do love music, but I like loud music even more. Something that I can sing to and makes me forget about all the problems in my life if only for just 4 minutes. It's so much fun to loose yourself in the beats of the bass while you drive down the road with the wind flying through your hair, singing at the top of your lungs, making yourself look like a complete idiot.

But as all of you know, life is no fun unless you can enjoy the small things.
