Oh. My. Frig.
Kill me... killing me softly...
aha.
Anyway, today I went for an appointment at the ever faithful,some sort of European place called "Yves Rocher"... good times I tell you, but this is not where my adventure actually begins.
I have a vechicle. A little red SX 2.0 aka a newer version of a Dodge Neon, but with a fancier name.
I LOVE ... and I mean LOVE driving my little happy go lucky car. It provides for lovely, entertaining drives wherever I may go. It is a great little guy and/or girl (I haven't decided yet).
It is a standard ( yes I drive stick shift and I am gosh darn good at it!), so it is so nice to save gas once I hit 5th gear driving down country road.
But there is one problem, that I absolutely cannot stand.
In town traffic-- especially when there is contruction invovled.
In Moncton, the town closest to where I live, there has been an insane amount of traffic since the end of May, early June. I have no problem with contruction, but I do have one small complaint.
WHY MUST IT TAKE SO LONG!
Honestly, one section of construction in my town has taken 3 years, and has yet to be completed.
Initally, the contruction started as a mall was being built, that was not an issue for most considering that the big trucks and contruction gear was based more off to the side of the road rather than directly on it.
Now however, things have changed and the road has been traffic filled for at least 3 years... and so far, there has been little to no improvement.
Traffic with construction is understandable, but traffic period is not all that fantastic.
Today I experienced the most annoying traffic in this ENTIRE world... it was AWFUL!
I started out by driving to the mall where my appointment was. Traffic there was contruction so I moved along, grumbling to myself.
I left and experienced the same traffic, I once again grumbled, but moved on. However, things changed as soon as I started to head towards my bank.
I went down towards a noteably more busy part of town, but today it was just silly.
It was 1:30? about an hour past the lunch hour rush, and the road was PACKED.
One thing I cannot stand is when there is not enough room for a vehicle to fit on the other side of the intersection but the person decides to go anyway and block the intersection. Lovely.
The insanity didn't stop there. Oh no, traffic continued to be stupid.
Again... and again...again.. DAH!
I cannot even take the time to continue with my rant about traffic... sooooo I am peacing out, and leaving this video behind!

It is A SONG ABOUT TRAFFIC!!!
kinda...
Watch it.
I DARE YOU!

How I Feel Today.
This blog is more of a free verse poem type thing, so don't judge, I'm not the best
Today I feel of happiness, of sadness, of joy, and of disappointment.
I have been blessed, in tears, excited, and hurt.
All has happened today.
I have felt the love, the love of my family which brings me happiness,
Felt sadness for those that have felt loss,
Felt excited for new beginnings,
And finally, felt disappointment, which the choices of others.
People often say that you can only have one emotion in a run of a day, the maximum of two
I, however, feel many, depending of what I have seen or heard.
News from the internet, a text, or by voice
All these things can effect my day
Not always resulting in a positive way.
I felt happy to discover new things on the way,
but also felt sad when knowing those things won't stay the same
I felt excitement to know that my future is booming
but disappointment to know that the future of others is bound for disaster.
I am not stupid.
I know how to think.
I can be hurt.
But I can't be changed.
I know how I feel, and that's not going to change.
But I know that if things were different I might not feel this way.
I will wake up tomorrow,
and will look outside
to see a new day
I know tomorrow,
I'll feel different inside,
and hopefully not the same as this day.
You are always told to look on the bright side of things,
I often live by the goal
But the one thing that I don't like to hear
Is that you can control your emotions.
What I mean is is that I don't always feel like being happy
If something bad happens I want to cry,
If I want to celebrate I do
And if not, well I am not going to try otherwise.
That is how I feel today
That is all

Decisions, Decisions
Wow. This Saturday my Cousin West 2/5 is getting married.
It makes me in a way feel super old.
But then again, look how old he should feel.
When I started to think about the kind of thing I would write about I thought about this very topic, trying to DECIDE what to write about, and then it hit me. Decision making and how very easy or difficult in may be.
Since I was a little girl, I had a hard time making decisions. Even though I am getting better at it, I still have a really tough time deciding what is right, what is wrong, and what is best for me, not for everyone else.
When I was that little chubby girl with short hair, I often found that my personal decisions reflected those that I was trying to please. Always. I find now, when looking back, that if I had made different decisions as a child, that I may have been a lot happier, and had enjoyed my elementary- middle- early high school years a lot better.
I was a people pleaser and now that I look back, I am really disappointed that I cared so much that in a way, changed my own self to make other people happy.
There are some things that I am dead set on. Things that people could never sway me on, and there are things that I am still indecisive about.
These are things that I am sure of.
1- God is real, no questions asked
2-waiting until you are ready to do something
3- staying pure until marriage
4- being true to yourself
5- be truthful, not matter what the consequence
6- drugs should be left alone and not used
7- privacy is important
8- not putting others needs above my own
9- being certain of information before sharing
10- being kind
and so many more, but those are some things that really make me who I am, and that isn't about to change.
There are things that I am unsure of too, but for privacy, I have decided ( note decision) not to share, at least not now.
After I endured several rough friend ships and relationships, I decided that things had to change. I had to be come less irrational, and had to become wiser when it came to people.
I made this decision at a youth event in town called Springforth a few years ago, near the end of my grade 10 year, and I tell you, it was when my overall decision making became a lot better. And trust me, I needed it. In a way I felt as if my life was a downward spiral, but one decision made my life so great, so amazing, that since then, I realize that somethings very easy decide based on my newly found character that comes from me, being me.
My life today obviously had daily decisions that effect who I am, but I take them all in my stride. As an example, how I react to different people and situations in my workplace, depends on how I decide they are going to be. You can determine how your own goes by what you decide, sure, there will be some short falls along the way, and life isn't always perfect, but if you make the best decision for you, and only you, there is no turning back.
Regardless of what may happen, your life is controlled by you, even if there are things along that way that you may think that can shoot you. This isn't true. If you DECIDE to let them effect you they will, if not, well you made your decision, and life continues.
It's not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are. ~Roy Disney

Summer Daze.
Literally.
Summer DAZE!
I, to be honest don't even remember what has happen really over the past few months .... has it been months yet? I actually don't even know!
I know a few things though, it's warm, I work, and I forget what day is... everyday.
I have had some great times with my friends, but more or less because of work, it just seems like a constant never ending cycle, that I feel as if will never end.
Just yesterday I spent a day with my best friend Evans, she is actually one of the sweetest people I have EVER met in my entire life. We are going to university this coming year together and have about 4 classes at least together. I am super excited.
Yesterday, Evans and I went to the University to do some "modeling" for their .. well, to be honest, we don't even know what it is for! But just the same we were in and out of there in 15 minutes flat! pretty impressive eh?
We are JUST that good of models, international really! aha
This is a pretty brief blog I know, I will continue to talk about my experiences perhaps sunday afternoon. I must get read for work!
that is all.

Get Smart
You know what's awesome?
Old tv shows.
Shows like, Get Smart, Batman, Brady Bunch, Happy Days, etc
Just this past friday/sunday (today) I spend almost 5 or so hours watching Get Smart episodes -- season 1!
Friday, I more or less watched them because I was sick, but then I continued to watch, and to watch, I grabbed some caramel and an apple and some tea, and watched more. I tell you, that I needed a good laugh, and Get Smart definitely provided it for me.
Just today my friend Murray "mosyed" her way on over to my house after a long weekend of crazy work at the restaurant I am employed at. I was so tired. I ran, booted 'er to be exact to the top of my road when I found out that Murray was near by.
Thankfully, when she drove over the hill coming down towards my house, she noticed the crazy person hitchhiking on the side of the road (aka me). Murray slowed down and tried to pull a Uy on the top on the road, and failed... miserably.
As soon as we walked through the doors of my house, Murray was thrilled when I shared with her that we would be spending our evening watch Get Smart.
We soon began to watch this show, for many many hours. We came to the conclusion of what made older tv shows better than many today.
Here is what we discussed
1- Old TV shows had SWEET theme songs, Happy Days as an example, totally memorable, Get Smart, Batman, even though both of those have little to no words whatsoever, the use instruments to create depth and excitement at the very beginning of every episode
2- The characters were a key element to what made these shows so fantastic- Adam West, Harry Wrinkler, Don Knotts in Three's Company all were perfectly placed in their roles, which leads to our next point
3- Bad acting is clearly what makes these shows so very hilarious- obviously there are some good actors in these shows, but in Get Smart, Candace and I discussed that Agent 99 does better acting when she tries NOT to act
4- Corny is key- you know at that kiss scene where they compare a rose to the girl or whatnot, well I couldn't think of any better way to make tv entertaining!
5- "surprise endings" even though we all know how it's going to end
Older tv shows show such class and humour that I must go now, and watch more of get smart.
Actually, I'm going to watch a movie with my mother... ahhh yeah:)
that is all.
