Skate Away From Your Problems

As a little girl, my mom would always offer my sister and me a choice: Chuck E Cheese vs. Moonlight Rollerway. It's safe to say we're not a big fan of the rat!

Now, after not being on a pair of skates for 10+ years, I've decided to make a wise (HEALTH CONSCIOUS) investment. I intend on visiting the Moxi store in Long Beach* come next weekend and as soon as these beauties touch my cute little feet, I'll be cruising the beach.

Be jealous, very jealous!


*For those of you who can not make the drive out to Long Beach, CA .. feel free to place your order on Urbanoutfitters.com

The Path Less Traveled



They say, if you want something you've never had, you've got to do something you've never done. Quite simple, yes? No. We're creatures of habit. Just look at the way we wash our hair: rinse, lather, repeat! Fine, that's a bad example, but really we are instinctively programmed as human beings to be comfortable doing what we're DUH, comfortable doing! I know there's probably a profound amount of scientific research out there to prove my point, but I'm too lazy to look for it and quote it. Ha! There's proof right there, that I, at the very least am a creature of habit (lazy habits - if you missed that one). 

Now to refute all that I just spent time saying, we as human beings need to break this ugly cycle. Yes, there is so much good that is to come of our "NEVER DONES" (cheers to some awful use of the English language-- but note it was intentional)! I'm working on breaking some bad habits. That's all that was meant by this. Of course I had to make it lengthy because that's one habit I refuse to break! ;)

So if anyone has been faced with some harsh realities in recent days .. know this, you are not alone and we will get what we want together. Let's just try a different path this time. Preferably one that has been used by none. And in conclusion, I must thank my favorite poet of all time Robert Frost for his inspiration when my bad habits came crashing down.

Appropriate Hate



Tell me something you hate; let's turn our hatred for the world into colorful rainbows that unicorns soar over. Please, just keep the pink glitter away from me!

Cheating On My Car

Normally, I condemn any type of cheating. I was always that girl in grade school, middle school, high school & college who refused to cheat (ok fine, not college .. in my defense online courses are made for cheating)! Going off tangent, hmm .. where was I? Yes, cheating! I will most certainly, without losing any sleep, cheat on my tank of a car with this little cutie.



I've been eyeing this on www.Urbanoutfitters.com (bike shop) for nearly two years now! You can practically customize every last detail on your baby (unlike men) and for a picky, option-loving Gemini .. this is HEAVEN on wheels LITERALLY!

Not to mention they have accessories. I'd get a crocodile honk and a sweet wooden basket! With all that said, please see below for wire donation instructions:

JUST KIDDING!

Crummy Advice Can Be So Marvelous

 


Eat donuts. Wave at a stranger while driving. Have a shot before 12 noon. Tell the truth. Light candles and sing in the dark. Look up a word in the dictionary. Give compliments you mean. Don't make wishes, make decisions. Frame pictures. Buy something you've been wanting. Give something away. Throw away someone else's trash. Send a friend a hand written letter. Eat candy. Kiss and tell. Take a drive to nowhere. Plan a trip. Pick a penny and bless it lucky. Give the penny away. Take deep breaths. Predict the future by creating it.  Donate your time to a non-profit organization. Buy a dozen balloons and let them go. Bake something even if you burn it. Tell someone a secret. Don't wonder about answers you don't have. Don't follow your dreams, stalk them, chase them, corner them & have them. Forget any insults you've ever heard. Lay in the sun. Take a completely different route home. Cross your fingers. Whisper through a whole conversation. Pray for someone else. Pick a flower. Kick stress in the balls. Ask someone over 75 to tell you a story. Date someone completely wrong for you. Turn off the television. Read. Forget getting approval from others. Fake it till you feel it. Smile. Fight tears. Enjoy life's struggles. Shock yourself with yourself.

A. Esmaili's "out of order" advice! :)
