Day 1: So I have decided to start this blog as part of my ....one year till I am thirty and this on my buck list task. Not sure if anyone will read it..not sure if I will give it to any of my friends to read..but I am going to write it and see what happens. 30 really isn't that old, but I am not even there yet. After turning 29, I realized that although I see my staff for the hotel I work at as the near the same age as myself, they are actually almost a decade young...yes scary!
Currently I live in Columbus, which most people love, but all it does is remind me of work. It is kind of like when you date a guy and you break up under bad circumstances and then ten years later your husband wants to name your kid that same name as the ex boyfriend and every time you think about it all you think of it that ex. Yeah that is how Columbus is for me. Although I didn't think it would be that way ever. I believe part of this is my fault...I could just tell work to shove it, but my competitive and perfectionist nature (which I wish carried over in to cleaning my apartment) has driven me to be one of those people who work way more than I should. My sister calls me a workaholic. I hate that term. I think a work-a-holic should at least like their job right...then I wouldn't mind it, I don't hate it I guess, but I am not happy with it either. That usually happens when I am ready to learn and do something else with my life. But I am thankful to have a job and pay my own bills.
This week was the week after my birthday, November 4th....(had to work on my birthday among a bunch of other non-fun things). This weeks even included the Presidential Election, love elections...especially when my birthday falls on them. In 2008 the first black president was elected on my birthday. But the reason why I love it is because it takes that attention off of me. It is so strange how people feel about their birthday...some love them..."all about me" ...others hate them.."fear of getting older"...me.."fear of bad stuff happening on your bday that makes the things happening so much worse than they really are just because they are happening on their birthday"....yes...not much of an optimist on that point...but its ok...I kind am bipolar on the subject of being and optimist. That theory to come later.
So every week I am going to have a goal and a song too...I think it is cool that there are so many choice of music and you can always find something that fits your mood and life at that point in time.
So to end my first blog ever...epic I know....:
Song of the Week: Wide Awake by Katie Perry
