CHICAGO

You never really understand where your from and what your used to and not used to until you are completely away from that area.



This place is absolutely wonderful. I am from a tiny town in Indiana and i really like Indianapolis but that is no comparison to Chicago. I felt like a million bucks walking around that place. you defiantly don't see the same kind of people around there twice, everyone is unique and different. China town is like being in a whole other country. I have never seen ducks beak on the menu before until i came across ken kee's real Asian. Art is everywhere its like that place is where art came from. When it was time to head back it was so hard not to just say forget it and never come back, (but we ran out of money.) People have always told me not to judge a place until I have been there.. well i was there and i want to go back for good. its my city of dreams and I bet that the big apple is just as good if not better. One piece of advice to all... Don't come by car, its expensive and a mess of stress the air Tran is much much better and worth the experience. :) i <3 Chicago

passion vs. Time management

Ya know, a few nights ago i had this great thought and i followed it up with "the next time i get to a computer I'm going to put this marvelous thought in the books". Unfortunately by the time i got to a computer, sat down, logged on and saw that it was my time to type, my mind was totally clear and the only thing i could remember was "I need to study. So, that's what i did i let my spurt of creativity fly right out the window as if my brain was almost saying, "oh well better luck next time!" That really grinds my gears. I'm a good student and always ready and willing to be on the top of my game in studies but i love my creative side as much as my determined gotta do it side. Those two things Just don't fit in the same day, I have come to find, because when a creative piece comes into my world and i don't have the time to let my writer out its like the magic never came at all. If anyone has any wonderful tips on how to level out these two things so i can get back to having up to 3 blogs a day i would sure appreciate it till then, i guess its study now and dream later. boo =[ not my cup of tea.

We are Best Friends

Yet she feels hopeless and deserted by everyone in her life. I try to tell her she is my best friend and that I need her but she says, "we lead different lives and I can't hold you back" We are supposed to walk together at graduation, be maid of honors at our weddings, Be each others god parent when we have kids. We are best friends, but i see she is slipping no longer needs a life existing, its killing me. What are the right words to say to someone who sees nothing but darkness in tomorrow and is scared of today. Do I help? Go screaming trying to have a shrink hold her down and show her nothing can be that bad. Do i wait and let everything run its own coarse so that maybe she will see how much she is everything to me? There is nothing to do I don't really think. She is my best friend, I cant let her leave.
