John Lennon - “Nobody Told Me”
(via eatsleepdraw)
This is the perfect piece to come across, because I had a panic attack today completely randomly for the first time ever and this is EXACTLY how I felt.
(and I love the way you made the word “broke”).
A sketch I did of Britney Spears back in 2006, when I was a senior in high school. I went to a strict all-girls Catholic school, and I remember my art teacher wouldn’t let me turn this drawing in for credit because she “gave off the illusion that she is a naked”… right.
Anyways, this is how well I used to draw, not anymore though… I am *so* out of practice.
I guess the only way to get back in the game is by practicing.
I need to get off this damn computer long enough to sketch out something short of a masterpiece. We’ll see, all in due time.
This isn’t really news to me, it’s more of a reminder… I plan on doing this sometime this week, since I know for a fact I have the supplies needed laying around, and I definitely have the time!
I think tomorrow is my Arts & Crafts day with Samantha,
(that is unless she ditches me for Jeff, again).
Whenever I compile things into a list, I feel as if I am more likely to complete whatever is on said list, but it’s completely untrue. It’s just a idealistic notion. But, regardless, I’ve made a list of my goals for this year! I want to be happier, healthier, a better person… and how am I going to do that if I keep fucking things up? By making a list that I most likely won’t abide by, of course!
So, here it is! My List of Goals!
1. Eat healthier - I know, this is on EVERYONE’s list towards self-improvement. But I guess since eating healthy is a great way to lose weight, improve quality of life, and live longer, that makes sense.
1a. Keep a food diary - Just so I can be more aware of my poor eating habits; I’m the WORST snacker. Ew. This is probably one of the goals that I’ll be the least likely to even attempt. We’ll see.
2. Complete some form of art/crafts project at least once a week -
3. Find a job - it’s not that easy. Fuck this economy. I remember the days when I could walk into a store, flash a smile, get an interview and then a job on the spot. At this point, I’ll even settle for flipping burgers (I can’t help but to grimace at the thought).
4. Lose 15-20 pounds in the next three months - Maybe that’s not a very realistic goal, but what the hell, I want to be back at 125. It’s my perfect weight. I wasn’t too small, and I wasn’t big at all. (I can’t believe that when I was 16 I thought I was fat… looking at pictures from back then, I realize that I must have been out of my mind). Then, I just got lazy for a long time, stopped taking ADD medicines, ate my feelings and became a beached whale.
4a. Go to the gym/work out everyday - I decided to make this a sub-goal to my weight loss goal since it kind of goes hand-in-hand. (I suppose I could even add the eat healthier down here in that case, but oh well)! Anyways, I’m aiming for getting my cardio on everyday (thank God for the treadmill in my basement), and then abdominal and upper body workouts every other day. I NEED to do this, before I let myself really go and I’ll never be proud of my body again.
5. Add more things to this list - there are always things to improve on! Even list-making!
When I was in highschool, I had a LiveJournal…
Actually, strike that… I had about FIVE Livejournals.
Back in the early 2000s, LiveJournal (or Lj), was all the rage for adolesents to vent and rant and cry about how hard life is. I mean, being fourteen years old *is* pretty rough. Mom won’t let you wear a lot of dark eyeliner, the hottest 15 year old in school doesn’t even know you exist, and your parents are holding you back from being a perfectly capable adult… right?
Well, here I am now, almost 20-something, and frankly, I’m embarrassed to read through my old journals. “Was I really at one point THAT pathetic?” My emo poems, obsession with Benji Madden from GC, my kitty cat skull patches… I guess, now, looking back, I wasn’t as cool as I thought.
But a couple things have changed since early 2000.
One, blogs are the new LiveJournal.
Two, I am NOT a loser this time around.
I’ve been reincarnated into someone with confidence, an eye for beauty, and the urge to learn, grow and discover.
Welcome.
to my blog.
