I went without power for a staggering 9 days and when it finally came back on, I felt like it was the second coming of Christ. So, now everything is back to kinda normal, or as my mom says "more normal."

So, I'm gonna post a few pictures of the aftermath of Ike.

I knew he was going to pass away soon because he was getting worse by the day, but it didn't cushion the blow at all...


*Sigh* I love you Bandit and I'll miss you forever.

I have GOT to register for college classes or I'm gonna miss the semester. I'm still debating on the class because I will be working 2 jobs; one being close to 40 minutes away. (The long distance job I have, I just gotta find another job that's starting NOW and offering more hours.) I'm going to see if I can get Sundays or Fridays off as well at the place so I can be off on the weekends to focus on college work.

I also really need to dye my hair and do my laundry. Plus, I haven't spent much time with my mom so maybe I'll see if she wants to go out for dinner. Ugh! LoL sooo much stuff

Today was filled with disappointment and this whole week has been a rocky road. I'm struggling to just let the things go and stop attaching myself to these miseries.

Well to start off, I watched the new Batman movie.. I must say it was FANTASTIC!! I absolutely adored it!!!!!!! Seriously, Batman fan or not, go see this movie!!!

Second of all, I will probably begin working on my Yoga teacher certification in the next month or so. I just need to figure out which institute I'm going to go and some other things before I make my final decision.

Seriously, go to [link] type in What I've Done and watch it. It's so visually haunting..

Everytime I see this video I get goosebumps. It helps put alot of things in prospective. It's not the most politically/enviornmentally charged piece you'll ever see, but it's certainly worth the view and listen.

I haven't heard from Amy all week and last time we talked, she said she was sick which worries me. Amy has also told me that everytime she gets sick, it always turns serious and she winds up in the hospital. I texted her yesterday and asked if she was coming to a private lesson and never got a response.. That's not like Amy. So now I'm hoping and praying that she's okay. It's not big deal if she comes to the lesson or not, I just wanna make sure she's okay.

Maybe I worry too much...

1. Post these rules
2. Each person tagged must post eight random facts about themselves
3. Tags should write a journal/ blog of these facts
4. At the end of the post eight more persons are tagged and named
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged

Eight Random Facts:
1. I get an upper respiratory infection twice a year. Once in the spring, once in the fall.
2. I'm terrified of needles, spiders, and heights!!!
3. When I faint, my heart completely stops till I regain consciousness. Needless to say, I have a very weak heart. I have a murmur and the left ventricle is really weak and doesn't pump blood like it should. So, I can do only a limited amount of cardio. Which is why I love yoga, it's not cardio!!
4. I absolutely adore animals!! I predict that I'm gonna be one of those crazy cat ladies with 9 million cats when I get older.
5. I listen to all types of music. Looking through my library, you'll find everything ranging from Tool to Cradle of Filth to Rihanna to Lil Jon to The Police.
6. I'm currently in school to become a Literature Education Major, but in a couple years I intend to pursue a career in yoga. I'd love to be a yoga instructor.
7. I would love to move to Florida. I absolutely adore the beach and water!!! I could sit in the sand or water all day every day and never get bored!! Unfortunately, Galveston is not a great beach. Sand is nasty, and water is all murky lake looking. Plus, you never know when a flesh eating virus is hiding out there... Plus you can't even see your ankles in the shallows, who knows what hungry animal is lurking out there!!!
8. I don't think I could live without my Iphone. I absolutely adore it!!! It keeps me out of boredom and never fails to keep my attention.

I'm feeling rather inspired, but my hand just simply won't draw up the words.

At least I got some new yoga books today.

and in my next life: I'm coming back as a well taken care of housecat. I'm tired of worrying about things.

It was a strange feeling though. It feels better today, but whenever I clean it, the pain from doing so makes me really dizzy and brings me close to passing out. =/

Eh, well it's totally cute!!!

I was on bass and when Bon Jovi came up, I decided I wanted to sing it. Aaron switched places with me and I failed twice. -.- Singing on that game is NOT easy. Further along, we unlocked Nine Inch Nails and I was like "CRAP! Gimme the mic, Aaron! I don't care if we fail, this is my favorite song by them and I'm gonna sing it!" The song loved me, lol. I got a 97% that would have been higher had I been paying attention at one point.

Anyways... If you don't have this game, I suggest getting it!! It's replaced WoW for the moment!

Now they're telling me that in order to enroll and take classes there, I need more hours at San Jacinto. But who's to say that the classes I take at San Jac will even transfer? They told me for 3 years that the classes I had would work. In fact, both colleges did.



So thanks, all you counselors and advisors on both ends. Thanks for wasting 3 years of my life and telling me each semester that all I needed was this or that just to sweep the rug right out from under my feet for the what, third/fourth time?

Amy then showed me how to get into a full handstand. Full extended arms Then she wanted me to try it. So, I tried the first time and couldn't even kick up that high. I giggled it off and she told me to try again and not to worry, that it's totally okay if my feet smack the wall and then I reposition myself. Well, I kicked up and instead of smacking the wall, my feet went straight over my head and I stood in handstand for 5 seconds till I realized where I was and broke my concentration, falling onto my butt.

Anyways... School is good. My first class was pretty cool. The professor is hilarious! It's going to be a lot of work, but eh.. It's fine. The stupid school STILL has not processed my transcripts yet though so I'm irked about that. > If they haven't by Thursday, I'm going to go sit in the Admissions Office with my foot in somebody's back until they do!!!

For anybody who has something negative to say about Johnny Depp is simply jealous. ^.^

Not only is he:

1. Hot
2. A great actor

butttttttt... HE CAN SING!!!

And I'm so glad I bought this soundtrack. <3

Then mom dropped the atom bomb on me and pissed all over my wonderful parade by informing me that this meant I now needed to take just 1 class, 2 max, and work 40-60 hours...

Fuck the state of Texas. More bad has come from moving here than good. My mother is no longer anywhere near the same kind-hearted person she was. Maybe packing up and moving to Florida isn't such a bad idea.

I believe in karma. I believe that when we do something bad, it is returned to us 10 fold and the same applies when we do good. Karma follows us through our many lives and through reincarnation, we are given the chance to live down our karma and repent for it. We are given several tries to fall into God's good graces.

It took the Dalai Lama 700 years to live down his karma, if I've read right... Some of the people today, I fear, it may take 10 times that.

I don't understand how people can be so cruel and unfair. How does my job make me a lower person? Are we only capable of seeing a person's wealth as making them fit for society now? I believe we are all born pure and right, but it seems along the way more and more people have fallen.

Maybe I should run away and go live in isolation.

Johnny Depp's voice is enigmatic and beautiful. The storyline was also just as enchanting.


I'm so buying the soundtrack. <3

Lovely.

I didn't sleep so well, I tossed around with a fever before falling back into a weird dream and then waking up feeling semi decent this morning.

I think I may need a trip to the doctor. *cringe*


I'm also super stoked for my best friend!! And even if he never reads this, he still better bring his new girlie by so I can meet her!!! Elva is beautiful and she seems like a sweetheart. I'm glad they met.

Then she asked me if I felt like doing a headstand and I said yeah. So in the middle of my kitchen (where we now practice) I popped into a headstand and she put her hand on my ankles for a little stability.

"Now for fun, see if you can cross your right ankle over your left." She says. I do this, while still being inverted.

"Cool! Now, see if you can twist your body to the right." I pause, but I do as she asks, and I'm amazed that I'm now in a headstand, ankles crossed, with my body twisted to the right. I'm also impressed by the sweat that has just started appearing on my back and shoulders. I DON'T sweat. Ever. and I feel as if somebody has poured a bucket on me!!

She asks me to twist to the other side, then lets me down and rubs my back and shoulders to check for any spots that I have accidentally thrust weight into and hurt. There's none. She then giggles and says "ooh! I can tell you worked hard!"

I'm loving these private lessons. They're the best thing I've ever done in my life and I'm so stoked that God gave me Amy, she's a beautiful gifted person.

I love how my body has learned to move, but I wish I could pull more energy from my core, where my true self lies, but I suppose that'll come once I gain more self esteem. I move mostly from my waist and legs, but I need to move from my abdomen.

I felt good after doing those poses. I felt more relaxed. Perhaps I should start doing them more often.

Ugh.


Merry day after Christmas ya'll. I'm going to activate my phone after work, meditate, and do some nice balance/grounding poses to work off these hurt feelings.
