The Sun Can't Shine Everyday..

BUT its shining today!!! Its a beautiful day in the uptown Saint John neighborhood. I live across from a community center (yeah, sketccchyyy...) and there is this one guy, Ahmed, who is standing out there every morning when I take the dog out for a walk at 7 or 7:30. Recently Ahmed has started talking to me and coming across the street. I suppose you could call us friends. I know his life story and he knows what I feel like telling him at 7am in the morning haha. Its kind of nice. At first I was a bit sketched out that this toothless man with a strong accent was walking across the street and telling me all about his life and asking me questions about mine but then I eased up a little and figured he is probably just a nice guy. hopefully... just keep in mind that if you don't here from me for a few days..his name is ahmed and hangs out at the community center in the mornings...haha

So today, my lovely roommate/cousin are having a bonding/hangout day because we both managed to get the day off! :) Maybe go shopping? Horray for Walmart and Homesense! One thing I love about living in Saint John is that we have an Old Navy, soon a Costco, and a Homesense.. you can always find whatever you need in this city!

So as mentioned yesterday, I had an exam this morning. It went well I think.. We shall see we shall see.. I have definitely failed ethics..and I find myself wondering what that says about myself..hmm...I prefer not to think about it! haha :)

So I was hanging out/studying with a friend last night and the exam was on computer stuff and the internet blah blah blah and we started talking and it occured to us that, we are old. Think about it guys, we remember a time before the internet was even INVENTED. We remember when the bugs bunny and tweety show was good animation, the days when where's waldo was good entertainment. Carmen San Diego was a fun game, Dick Tracy was a great gangster show with cool special effects (the fire when the guns were shot haha), when gangster were still gangsters, not gangstas, and when if we wanted to talk to someone we would call them from our house phone to theirs. These were the good ol' days guys, and I know that makes me sound SO OLD but because of growing up at the time we did, I think we are better for it. Kids these days (yes, I just said "kids these days") don't understand how to do things without texting, or the internet. Have probably never used an Encyclopedia (no, wikipedia doesn't count) and have no people skills what so ever. Some of these kids I see are growing up way too fast, dressing like britney spears at the age of 10, having sex at 13 and having a baby at 16. Remember when dressing like Britney meant wearing a cute little top, showing a little belly and some nice jeans that covered your whole ass? I guess what I'm trying to say is, we know where its at, and what it means to be born in the 80s!
Off to enjoy the sunshine, I hope you all do the same! Don't let work or exams distract you from a beautiful day! haha

How Nice is TOO Nice??

This is me and my Dog... I absolutely love him!! However... My roommate has 2 cats... and they get along like..well like cats and dogs! [Insert headache here] HOW DO YOU GET DOGS TO LIKE CATS?? and vice versa... I think Cooper likes the cats... he wants to play with them but he gets too excited and they dont like that... anyways.. on to blog #2. :)

Okay so this is just a quickie my friends as I really should be studying for my exam..which is tomorrow... EEEKKKK not to mention I work 2-8 today...way to take up the whole day... bllaahhh


So my question to you all is this: How nice is too nice? When he calls you "Cutie"? "Cute" is something you call a 5 year old child...not a 21 year old adult. I hate being called cute..to me its patronizing...but maybe I'm just crazy...which is why I'm asking this of all of you, not just myself. Also, pretending to like things you don't just so it seems you have more in common with her?? NA UH... be yourself or she will never respect you...which is what is happening in my situation. When you tell him you failed something and he blames it on the professor or the readings you had to do?? Like okay.. this isn't too bad but when your feeling like shit about being a failure and he doesn't say the right thing it really doesn't help at all.

So that's a little tastes of my rants.. things in a guy that annoy me. Unfortunately, all these qualities seem to reside in the boy (man?) I am currently dating.. BLLAAHH should I ignore these annoyances? talk to him about them? or just move on? Decisions Decisions... This is why I hate dating.. in the long term at least... and to me long term constitutes a whole 2 months.. yeah that's right, I get bored easily. Bored or annoyed? Not sure which one.

Also, another thing about me is that Im allergic to Wheat and Dairy.. something I will complain about a lot.. but also, I will include you all in my cooking experiments because I do a lot of them.. Wheat and Dairy is in EVERYTHING and it really sucks. For instance, right now, I just want a cheeseburger... YUMMMM...its doesnt help either that I work at McDonalds. I have to smell the delicious Junior Chickens, Bacon Cheeseburgers, Big Macs...etc etc. and I CANT EAT ANY OF IT!!!! I hate it... :(

Hello blogging world... This is my first post..up until now I haven't felt very comfortable with the idea of just spilling my guts into the mysterious world of the internet (still a little weird about it) but I thought hey, I really don't feel like studying yet and this might be a good distraction! haha

So my life... well I am a university student, third year and will hopefully graduate in Fall 2011 (have to do an extra semester that summer) with my... AH HEM "Bachelors in Applied Management in Hospitality and Tourism" or to us lazy people BAMHT or my favorite, just plain Tourism. Which is what I love...Tourism.

My passion is anything travel. So far in my short (too short) 21 years I have spent a year in England, Nottinghamshire to be exact, as a high school exchange student. That was probably one of the best years of my life...despite some obvious homesickness and problems with crazy host families, it was the people I met and the things I learned about myself while over there that made it so wonderful. Without that year, I probably would have never discovered my passion for tourism and would either still be trying to figure out my life, or stuck doing something I hate! :) I have also traveled more recently..as in this past summer of 2009...to Europe! This was a 6 week backpacking trip that I mostly planned myself, with help from my backpacking buddy. and I LOVED planning this... maybe this is what I will do with my life?? who knows! BUT on this trip I got to visit some of the greatest sites in the world and greatest cities! I visited London, Brittany (France), Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam (hehe), Berlin, Warsaw, Prague, Vienna, Rome, Milan, Cinque Terre, Athens, Interlaken (Switzerland), and Barcelona. It was an AMAZING experience and highly recommend it to ANYONE.

Another passion of mine... MUSIC. I love hearing new music...I guess I would say if I had to choose a genre it would be Indie but I really dont like to generalize it that..all music is different and I love it all..except of course gospel and gangsta rap...that stuff gives me a headache :P

So a little more about me.. I have one tattoo, its a snowflake behind my ear. I chose a snowflake because I believe that like snowflakes, everyone is unique and we shouldn't try to be like someone else...we should embrace out oddness because it is what makes us...well us! :) A little corney I know, but thats something else you will get to know about me.. Im very corney! haha

Well I dont know but that seems adequate for an introduction for now..the rest you will just have to learn as we go along! :) I wont delve into a huge rant tonight... not appropriate for the first post..baby steps guys haha BUT second post appropriate? I think so... you will know my problems tomorrow! so for now, enjoy yourselves, its a celebration.
