So I recently posted about my new love for the Miley Cyrus song, "7 things." I have yet another addiction, but not to the Hannah Montana queen. Have you listened to the newly released single by Ali Lohan? The single is entitled, "All the Way Around." I took a quick listen and it was love at first sound. I know, there must be something wrong with me. I have always been a bit of a pop fan, but this is getting ridiculous. I actually have a strong love for the alternative music genre, but lately all these teen pop songs have caught my ear.
So I ask you...is there any relief in sight?
I wonder how many people have really thought about the effects stress has on your body. I have been going non-stop since last week Thursday. And I can already tell the effects. I can't sleep or eat. I am constantly jittery...probably from all the caffeine I keep pumping into my body. Yet, I have always done some of my best work under extreme pressure/stress. Does that make me a stress junkie? And if so is there a stressaholics group?
I realize that in the end everything will hopefully turn out for the best. But right now, it is difficult to say the least. Trying to look for a new job, prepare for inventory at my current job, find a new place to live (in a different city) and pack. Honestly, I just want to have a day of rest and sleep. I can't wait for that day to arrive.
As I posted earlier in the week. I had plans to visit Los Angeles this weekend for fun in the sun. However, I had to cancel my plans in light of recent happenings. First of all, I am now on a straight 12 day work schedule with no days off until July 21st. And couple that with the fact that I now have only 30 days to find a new job in a new city and find a place to live. Not to mention pack and move everything.
Let's just say, I would rather be sitting at the rooftop lounge at the Standard hotel in Los Angeles sipping a martini.
I am the first person to complain that Hanna Montana/Miley Cyrus is taking over the world. At least that is how it seems when every time you turn the corner there is her face on a billboard, in a magazine, or her voice on the radio. Still, I must admit that I love the song called see you again. As if that wasn't bad enough, I now have fallen in love with the newest single released by her called 7 things. I am ashamed, but not enough to stop listening. My conscience keeps telling me that I am a grown adult and I should stop listening. But still I continue to play the songs. Does anyone else have this problem?
I am so excited for this upcoming weekend. I have found that I love spending my weekends in LA. Truth be told, I love spending as much time as possible in LA. Anyway, this upcoming weekend I am going to stay at The Standard hotel in downtown LA for 3 days! This hotel looks incredible. It has a rooftop bar, pool and gardens. The views of the city look amazing. I am taking 3 friends that haven't spent alot of time in LA so I will take them to the revolving lounge in the Westin Bonaventure as well. Plus, we will be hanging out in hollywood on Saturday so cross your fingers that I get to hang out with a friend that has been hard to get ahold of.
Another fairly uneventful weekend was had by me. Except as I was driving home from work, I got an invite to my friend's house in Chula Vista...it's wine and darts night! I had been such a workaholic for so long that I had forgotten how much fun it is to socialize. I am getting back into the swing of things by going out, meeting new people and enjoying life. I guess the moral to the story is that there is life beyond work.
Today is Independence Day! I love to celebrate this holiday on the east coast. I can't believe it has been 1 year since I have been out to NYC. This year I had no travel plans and actually worked all day. Since the firework displays in San Diego pale in comparison to the east coast shows, I will not be fighting the crowds tonight to watch the show. I will be chilling in my house and going to bed early since this is my weekend to work. Sounds like fun right?
Here's hoping everyone enjoys this day no matter what your plans are!
In recent years, I have met many people that seem to have what I call a blogging addiction. I have never really been that interested in it. However, I must say that I think my friend was right...this can be very therapeutic. I still believe there are many issues in one's life that should not be broadcasted to hundreds of people online. That being said though, I think I am going to take more of an active stance in the blogging world. Who knows maybe I will get to connect with interesting people along the way.
Tonight I was listening to random songs on my ipod. I like all different genres of music, anything from classical to a little bit of rap. A song played called Happy Ending by Sugarland. This is a country song that I am sure I have heard before. Yet, in light of recent self reflection this song resonated with me. If you have never heard it, I recommend taking a listen. I have always known that country songs are great at telling stories, but this song has a great message.
I have had this lost feeling for a couple of weeks now. I have reached a point in my life where I realized I don't know where I want to go from here. Normally, I would not blog about things like this, but a friend told me it might be therapeutic...so here it goes.
A couple of weeks ago, I was dealt a disappointing hand at my place of employment. At first, I was angry and disappointed...but now I think they did me a favor. My eyes were open for the first time that this is not what I want my life to be about. I have been a workaholic for as long as I can remember, but this forced me to look at the dead end I was at. I came to the realization that my disappointment was aimed at the wrong target. I never wanted to end up on the road that I chose after college, but I settled. And settling never really was my style. So after a couple weeks of being angry, I have decided that it is time for me to change the course I am on.
This was a huge epiphany for me, but it's not as though you roll out of bed the next day and everything is changed for the better. Although I had this epiphany, I realized that I still had no idea what I want to do when I grow up. It is a scary place to be at 31 years old and just come to the conclusion that I need to figure out what I want to do with my life. I made a list of all the things I enjoy and am searching for the right fit for me in the job market. What I do know is that I am a talented and smart individual who is relatively young...and I can be or do anything I set my mind to.
I am still a little lost on this path, but I have found my hope that I will be okay at the end of the next path I choose.
