Procrastination & Self-Realization

Well.. just like I predicted.. I didn't exactly keep up with my blog as I had hoped. That's something I'm working on don't worry. I am so sick of procrastinating.. I do it WAY too much.. and what sucks the most about it is I feel like every day, I turn a little bit more into my mother, which unfortunately..is not a good thing. But for real, how come every time I have a pretty lengthy to-do list I barely even get one thing accomplished? Why do I put things off so much to where come deadline time I am pulling my hair out with frustration? These are just a couple of the MANY things I need to start working on. I've recently started a "bucket list" if you will... I'll share a few of the things I have thought of so far because I feel something as endearing and personal as a list of things I hope to accomplish before I die is kind of personal. A few that instantly came to my mind were ones anyone who knows me could probably guess..

1) Tour the Atlanta Braves clubhouse/walk on Turner Field. & 2) Meet John Mayer

I have been a big lover of JM music for sometime now.. I think the moment that made me fall in love with his music was his concert in 2007. I had always enjoyed his music, mainly his popular songs like Daughters, Your Body is a Wonderland & No Such Thing, but when I went to that concert in 07' I saw an artist on stage that played with so much passion...and intensity. Ever since that concert I can't help but become some what of an addict to his music. Some of my favorite JM songs are Slow Dancing in a Burning Room, Gravity, Bigger Than My Body & Vultures. I was lucky enough to attend his Concert in Birmingham a couple of weeks ago and I saw him in a completely different light then I ever thought I could. Sure.. the next day his whole Playboy incident came out into the spotlight but you know what.. it's okay. People make mistakes... (as I'm sure Tiger Woods can vouch for.. heh.) every single day people are realizing things about themselves whether its because of their own self-realization or incidents happening that make them look at themselves in a different light. Just like I have realized I need a lot of self healing with different habits I have found myself doing... I am pretty sure John realized he needs to just focus on what he does best. Make music.

Ever since the interview has become public he has tweeted maybe 2-4 tweets one including a link to the Issac Foundation. You see..over the past few years John has built a bond/friendship with a young boy named Issac who suffers from an autism spectrum disorder. Issac is from Canada, and JM's tour made a stop there near Valentines day and Issac made John a HEART. So yes.. criticize John Mayer all you want about his stupid mouth...but report on the good things he does too.. because the Issac Foundation sure can vouch for him.

Okay.. so apparently I ran off on a huge John Mayer tangent but this has been on my mind for quite some time now so I needed to get all of that out. Back to the list. If you are indeed reading this right now (which honestly as I write this..I don't expect a single person to) you might know that I am majoring in Nursing in college. #3 on my list would have to be to travel as a nurse across the U.S and other countries, simply saving lives. Which weirdly enough.. #4 on my list is to become a Doctor (A physicians Assistant will count too). So maybe I will travel as that.. guess I'll have to see how far I can push myself.

To sum this up I'll leave you with a few more random notes that have been on my mind the last couple of months...

1) I want a puppy

2) I moved back home from Birmingham

3) I live with 2 beautiful/lovely roommates who are also my best friends.

4) I twitter now..

5) I am realizing money does not grow on trees

6) I enjoy Biology class

7) Self-Consciousness sometimes gets the best of me

8) The Olympics are pretty bad ass...

9) I need to get closer to God..which is kind of ironic considering I just used the term bas ass...

10) I have had my Iphone for 2 years now and though I can sometimes be too obsessed with it... I love it almost as much as I love my friends...

11) I don't talk to my mom as much as I should...but I am working on it.

12) This winter has been extremely cold down south...

Hope I didn't bore you all too much!

With love..
