My (late) New Years Resolution

Hello all of my fellow bloggers,

There I was last night sitting on the 11:30 train home, when I started to think about what I've done with my life. I mean, this was the first day I had EVER been on a train and the first time I had really been out of the city and I managed it all alone. It was a new experience and I enjoyed it very much. I decided I was going to break the habit. No more staying in this town my whole life.

This is my (late) New Years Resolution. At least once a month, I plan to go out somewhere; somewhere I've never seen or somewhere that I never go to. It's only a day trip. I want to open my mind to new places and new people. I'm not going to live like sheltered little me anymore; Fitchburg is getting me no where.

Anyone can come with me, I wouldn't mind the company. They just need to be able to pay for themselves, (cough cough). Just hit me up on a comment or grab my number. This resolution may be a whole month late, but better late than never.

I really do want people to join me. I plan to write a blog about every trip I take and I would love help to keep them entertaining!

Always Awesome,
Amanda.

It's just "one of those days"..

Everyone has heard the saying, but what does it mean? What is different in "one of those days" than in any other "normal" day? It seems to me that when someones day isn't going right, they need someone or something to blame. Why not blame something that didn't do anything wrong. Blame the day! That is just funny to me.

I get it at work all the time, and I tend to use the saying a lot when I'm talking to customers. I never really stopped to think that maybe it's just them that can't handle blaming their "off" days and unusual activities on the actual day. Are people that afraid of change and experiencing something different? It's not like when the day starts it automatically pinpoints you out and says, "today is gonna be 'one of those days' for you." The day can't control what you do. Come on, get realistic. You're the problem, not the day. A day is consistently inconsistent. It's never the same.

Maybe you tripped over the dog this morning, or even got up earlier. That changes your whole day. When you get home, I'm sure you make sure you didn't trip over the dog again. Since you got up earlier, I'm sure you are more tired than what you would be.

So next time you think about saying that, think again. Don't blame the big guy, blame the little guy (that's you!). Unless, the day really does fuck you over.

Procrastination?

I'm on here instead of writing a paper for class. Figures, I will let anything distract me. Procrastination is fun sometimes. As in, I'm having more fun doing this than writing a 3 page paper for English class. Hm, maybe I'm just thinking in another sense. It works though!
Lesson for the day: Procrastination may be fun, but it doesn't get your homework done.. sadly.
Not that I'll remember that next time.
