2014 IS FINALLY OVER!!!

WOW!!! JUST WOW!!! ANOTHER YEAR HAS COME AND PAST AND EVERYONE IS ABOUT TO WELCOME IN ANOTHER NEW YEAR. THIS WAS A HUGEEEEEEEEEE YEAR FOR ME!!! LITERALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED AND SO MUCH HAS CHANGED THAT HONESTLY IM SORT OF GLAD THE YEAR IS OVER AND DONE WITH... THE START OF 2014 WAS ROUGH... LIKE REALLY ROUGH... AND IT REALLY DIDNT GET ANY BETTER... BUT... EVENTUALLY... INEVITABLY... LIKE I ALWAYS SAY... WITH TIME... THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER... AND IT DID. THINGS TURNED AROUND AND WITH HARD WORK THE YEAR IS ENDING OFF WAY WAY WAYYYYYYY BETTER THAN HOW IT STARTED. SO AS USUAL HERE ARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR... IL TRY TO KEEP IT IN ORDER SO YOU CAN SEE IT GOING FROM BAD TO BEST :)

• STARTED THE YEAR OFF WITH AN END TO A RELATIONSHIP
• STUCK IT OUT THROUGH IN A JOB THAT DRAINED ME BOTH MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY... 
• LOST TOUCH WITH SOME FRIENDS, AND SOME CAME AND WENT
• STARTED NEW JOB AND GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH AN AWESOME GROUP OF PEOPLE
• KEPT UP WITH THE SCHOOLING AND I FINALLY JUST FINISHED THE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM A FEW WEEKS AGO :)
• GREW EVEN CLOSER WITH SOME OF MY FRIENDS, AND MADE NEW ONES TOO
• KEPT UP WITH THE BLOG, AND ACTUALLY HAD MEANINGFUL POSTS ALL OVER THE PLACE
• I DID THIS CHALLENGE WHERE I TRY TO WRITE A JOURNAL FOR EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR... AND IVE DONE IT!!! ALL 365 DAYS ARE FILLED!!! YOU CAN ASK ME WHAT I DID ON ANY DAY OF 2014 AND I CAN TELL YOU!!! LOL YA SOMETIMES I FORGET TO WRITE IT BUT WRITE IT BACK IN THE NEXT DAY SO I WROTE ABOUT EVERY DAY :P HAHA
• LEARNED ALOT ABOUT MYSELF AND WHAT I CAN REALLY DO 
• AND LASTLY... PARTIED MY FACE OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY... I PARTIED SO MUCH IT WASNT EVEN FUNNY... 

AFTER ALL THIS TIME I THINK I AM FINALLY IN A GOOD SPOT... I MEAN... THERE WERE A FEW HICK UPS AND MISTAKES ALONG THE WAY BUT HEY... NO ROAD IS STRAIGHT RIGHT?!?!?!?! I FINALLY KNOW WHAT I WANT AND NOW I KNOW HOW TO GET IT. THERES STILL A FEW THINGS THAT IM WORKING TOWARDS BUT SLOWLY YET SURELY EVERYTHING IS COMING TOGETHER. FAMILY AND FRIENDS WERE THERE THE WHOLE WAY TO SUPPORT ME AND IM THANKFUL FOR THAT. ITS BEEN A BUSY LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS FOR WORK AND LIFE AND ITS ONLY GOING TO GET BUSIER IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS BUT WITH THAT ALSO COMES OTHER SURPRISES THAT IM WORKING TOWARDS. IL FINALLY HAVE MORE FREE TIME SINCE THE PROGRAM IS DONE BUT IL HAVE LESS TIME ONCE AGAIN. I CAN FINALLY DO WHAT I WANT TO, WHEN I WANT TO, AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING. WHO REALLY KNOWS WHAT 2015 HAS IN STORE FOR ANY OF US ANYWAY... THE FUTURE HAS YET TO BE WRITTEN, WE ARE THE AUTHORS OF OUR OWN STORY. I HAVE LOTS OF BIG PLANS PLANNED FOR THE NEW YEAR AND I HOPE THEY CAN ALL COME TO PASS. 

SO TONIGHT IM JUST GOING TO GO HANG OUT WITH SOME FRIENDS AND HAVE A NICE NIGHT WITH THEM. I DONT EVEN WANT A BIG PARTY OR ANYTHING... JUST TIRED OF IT... THEN AGAIN PROBABLY CAUSE IVE BEEN PARTYING SO MUCH HAHA. IVE SLOWED DOWN BUT THEN SOMEHOW LAST MIN I DECIDED TO GO CONTACT FESTIVAL... AND IT WAS AWESOME. SOMETIMES THOSE ARE THE BEST PLANS... THE PLANS UNMADE HAHA. NEW YEARS THOUGH I JUST LIKE IT CHILL, SO GONNA EAT SOME FOOD, DRINK SOME DRINKS, PLAY SOME GAMES, AND HANG OUT WITH THE FAM. 

AS ONE DOOR CLOSES, A NEW ONE OPENS. AND WITH THAT, I WISH ALL MY READERS AND EVERYONE OUT THERE A HAPPIEST OF NEW YEARS AND SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR :)

VALUES & PRIORITIES

SO WHAT DO YOU VALUE??? EVERYONE VALUES SOMETHING, AND IM NOT TALKING ABOUT JUST MONEY OR OBJECTS. IM TALKING ABOUT PERSONAL VALUES AND HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE. IM TALKING ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIPS YOU FORM. IM TALKING ABOUT FAMILY. IM TALKING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT MONEY CANT BUY. ITS THE VALUES THAT EACH ONE OF US HAS THAT DETERMINE HOW WE LIVE OUR LIVES AND WHAT WE HOLD DEAR. THE PROBLEM THESE DAYS IS WHAT DO WE DO WHEN OUR VALUES CONFLICT AGAINST WHAT OR WHERE WE WANT TO GO? HOW DO WE GET OVER IT? CAN MONEY REALLY BUY EVERYTHING? EVERYONE HAS A PRICE AND ITS TRUE... EVEN THOUGH MONEY CANT BUY EVERYTHING IT REALLY CAN... VALUES ARE WHAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE. CAN YOU REALLY GIVE UP OR BREAK YOUR VALUES TO GET WHAT YOU WANT? ARE WE REALLY STILL US IF WE GIVE THAT ALL UP? YA... JUST BEEN THINKING LATELY AS YOU CAN TELL. SORTA JUST RAMBLING... I HAD THIS THOUGHT OUT ACTUALLY BUT NOW IT JUST BLURRED INTO ONE BIG CLUSTER OF WORDS... I THINK IT THE REASON THIS TOPIC CAME UP IS ONE OF MY CLOSE BUDDY JUST HAD A KID AND WHAT HE VALUES NOW REALLY SHOWS. HE VALUES EVERY MOMENT HE HAS WITH HIS NEW KID. I PERSONALLY VALUE MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY, IT IS THEM WHO HAVE MADE ME WHO I AM. I ALSO VALUE THE RELATIONSHIPS AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT I HAVE BEEN GIVEN, BOTH THE GOOD AND THE BAD. HAVING SOMETHING TO HOLD ON TO GIVES US PURPOSE, GIVES US DIRECTION, GIVES US MOTIVATION TO CONTINUE ON AND KEEP ON MOVING FORWARD.

WHAT ABOUT PRIORITIES??? VALUES AND PRIORITIES TIE INTO EACH OTHER. THEY DEFINE EACH OTHER. WHAT YOU VALUE DETERMINES HOW MUCH OF A PRIORITY THEY ARE TO YOU. EVERYONES PRIORITIES ARE DIFFERENT, AND THEY WILL BE DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON WHERE IN LIFE YOU ARE. GROWING UP YOUR PRIORITIES REALLY DO CHANGE. SOMEHOW WITHOUT KNOWING IT... SLOWLY YET SURELY YOUR PRIORITIES WILL CHANGE. PERHAPS SOMEONE OR SOMETHING MADE YOU REALIZE THAT THINGS NEED TO CHANGE. ITS THEN YOU REALIZE THAT YOU CANT KEEP GOING THE WAY YOU ARE GOING AND MAKE A CHANGE HOPEFULLY FOR THE BETTER. SAME THING AS BEFORE... I WENT AND SAW MY BUDDIES KID AND BASICALLY HIS WHOLE WORLD WAS FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN... EVERYTHING THAT WAS A PRIORITY FOR HIM CHANGED AND NOW THE KID IS HIS FIRST PRIORITY. WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER IT WAS SCHOOL, WHEN YOU GET OLDER ITS WORK AND MONEY AND FRIENDS. WHEN YOU GET EVEN OLDER ITS YOUR OWN FAMILY. ITS WEIRD JUST WATCHING EVERYONE YOU HAVE KNOWN FOR SO LONG GROW UP AND MOVE ON TO DIFFERENT PRIORITIES. THEN AGAIN WITHOUT PRIORITIES HOW DO YOU KNOW WHATS REALLY IMPORTANT. I GUESS... UNTIL YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOUR PRIORITIES ARE YOU REALLY DONT KNOW YOURSELF. ONCE AGAIN... KNOWING YOUR PRIORITIES TAKES TIME... AS USUAL EVERYTHING COMES BACK DOWN TO TIMING... SIGH...

WORKS BEEN BUSY BUT WORKS WORK AND ITS FUN :) JUST BEEN IN MEETINGS AND WORKING ON PAPERWORK BUT I MUST SAY CHRISTMAS SURE DOES HAVE ITS PERKS LOL. PEOPLE ARE BRINGING IN ALL SORTS OF GOODIES. BESIDES THE CARDS WE GOT CANDY AND CANDY AND CANDY AND CUPCAKES AND COOKIES AND CHOCOLATES AND SUCH AND SUCH HAHA. FRIDAY IS THE COMPANIES CHRISTMAS DINNER PARTY AND LIKE I SAID IM IN CHARGE OF THE SOCIAL ACTIVITIES... DID YOU KNOW ITS REALLY HARD TO COME UP WITH GAMES THAT ARE AGE APPROPRIATE AND WORK APPROPRIATE??? AND THAT IT HAS TO BE FUN!??!?!?!?! ITS ACTUALLY A LOT HARDER THAN YOU THINK... BUT I DID IT!!! I CAME UP WITH 3 GAMES :) BUT THEN I FORGOT THE 2ND ONE... SO I CREATED A 3RD ONE LOL AND THEN I REMEMBERED SO THEN I HAD 4 GAMES BUT NOW I WAS TOLD THERES A 5TH PRIZE BUT THAT 5 GAME IM JUST GONNA CRAP OUT AND BE LIKE HERE LETS JUST PICK AN WINNER HAHA. I DONT HAVE MUCH SHOPPING TO DO... USUALLY ITS JUST SECRET SANTA BUT THATS NOT THAT HARD HAHA. MY FAMILY DONT REALLY DO CHRISTMAS GIFTS... ITS REALLY HARD TO BUY THINGS FOR EACH OTHER SO WE SORTA...

EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES

I KNOW WHAT YOURE ALL THINKING... ME... MAKE MISTAKES??? THATS UNPOSSIBLE!!! LOL IM TOO PERFECT AND EVERYTHING THAT THERES NO WAY THAT I CAN MAKE A MISTAKE. WELL... THE HONEST BRUTAL COLD TRUTH IS THAT EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES... EVEN ME... WE MAKE MISTAKES ALL THE TIME, I MEAN MAKING A WRONG TURN, OR SAYING SOMEONES NAME WRONG, OR GETTING A FACT WRONG, THESE ARE ALL MISTAKES, BUT THE MISTAKES IM TALKING ABOUT ARE A LITTLE BIT BIGGER AND AFFECT A PERSON MORE. THE MISTAKE IM TALKING ABOUT IS MAKING THE DECISION THAT LEADS YOU DOWN A DIFFERENT PATH. NOW... THAT COULD BE A CAREER PATH, A FUN PATH, A BAD PATH. THERES SUCH A BIG SPECTRUM THAT I REALLY CANT COVER AND WONT COVER BUT YOU ALL GET MY POINT. SO YOU MADE A MISTAKE AND NOW YOURE GOING DOWN A DIFFERENT PATH THAN YOU THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE GONE, YOU THOUGHT THIS WAS THE RIGHT PATH... BUT ITS NOT... BUT IN A WAY IT WAS RIGHT... FOR THAT MOMENT IN TIME, IT WAS THE RIGHT DECISION OR AT LEAST YOU THOUGHT IT WAS... SO WHAT DO YOU DO... CAN YOU GO BACK AND TAKE THE MISTAKE BACK??? YOU JUST WISH YOU CAN TAKE IT BACK AND JUST GO BACK TO THE WAY THINGS WERE PREVIOUSLY. GUESS WHAT... ITS TOO LATE... THINGS WERE SAID, THINGS WERE DONE, PEOPLE MOVE ON. SO THE QUESTION IS STILL WHAT DO YOU DO... DO YOU TRY TO FIX YOUR MISTAKE? DO YOU MOVE ON? DO YOU GIVE IT TIME? WHO KNOWS... EVERYTHING IS UP TO YOU AND NOTHING IS UP TO YOU. ONE MISTAKE, ONE CHOICE, ONE DECISION HAS A RIPPLE EFFECT THROUGH EVERYTHING. WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS FROM EXPERIENCE... THE SOONER YOU REALIZE YOU MADE A MISTAKE, THE SOONER YOU CAN LEARN FROM IT AND MOVE ON. IF YOU CAN RECOGNIZE IT AND LEARN FROM IT THEN ITS NOT A WASTED MISTAKE. YOU LEARN THAT 1 + 1 DOESNT EQUAL 5 AND THAT 1 + 1 IS ACTUALLY 2 THEN NEXT TIME YOU WILL KNOW AND CAN APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE TO IT. NEVER WASTE A CHANCE TO LEARN BECAUSE IT ONLY BETTERS YOURSELF IN THE END. EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES, ITS NATURAL, ITS HUMAN, ITS HOW WE GROW AS PEOPLE.

WELL... THAT WAS MOST DEFINITELY A POST WITH MORE SUBSTANCE, JUST LIKE OLD TIMES LOL. LOTS OF THINKING LATELY IF YOU HAVENT NOTICED... REALLY WANTED TO WRITE THIS POST THIS WEEK ACTUALLY... BEEN WAITING TO WRITE THIS ALL WEEK... IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY GUESSED IT... I MADE A MISTAKE... IT EATS AT YOU... AND YOU JUST WANT TO SAY EVERYTHING YOU WANT BUT YOU CANT... NOT THAT YOU CANT BUT YOU JUST DONT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO IT... ON ANOTHER NOTE... WORKS WORK AS USUAL... BEEN BUSY PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH MEETINGS AND THEN PAST WEEK JUST BEEN PLAYING CATCH UP WITH PAPERWORK... CHRISTMAS TIME SO I GUESS I SHOULD GET SOME PRESENTS... MEH LOL. OH YA... SO LAST THURSDAY WAS MY LAST FINAL FINAL EXAM!!! IM ACTUALLY DONE DONE!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS COURSE WAS THE HARDEST BUT IT WAS OK, JUST THE FINAL WAS HARDER THAN NORMAL I THINK. THIS IS GONNA BRING MY MARK DOWN A BIT BUT WHO CARES IM DONE!!! NOW I CAN APPLY TO GET ANOTHER PIECE OF PAPER HAHA. AS I MENTIONED LAST TIME FOR SOME REASON IM STILL IN SCHOOL... IM REALLY DONE THIS TIME... I THINK... I HOPE... HAHA. GUESS WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE... WELL I DO HAVE 1 MORE THING TO DO BUT THATS IN JANUARY AND IM STARTING ON THAT NOW CAUSE I NEED TIME TO PREP. IM ALSO BEHIND IN ALMOST ALL MY SHOWS... BUT SOON!!! I SHALL WATCH YOU ALL!!! LOL THERES ANOTHER WEEK FOR YOU ALL FOLKS. GOODNIGHT :)

WHATS YOUR LIMIT???

WELL HERES AN INTERESTING ONE FOR THE WEEK... WHATS YOUR LIMIT??? NOW LIMIT CAN BE SO MANY THINGS. HOW MUCH YOU EAT, HOW MUCH YOU CAN WATCH TV, HOW MUCH YOU CAN READ, HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE, BASICALLY ANYTHING YOU CAN DO YOU CAN HAVE A LIMIT. EVERYONE HAS A LIMIT FOR EVERYTHING. YOU JUST CANT GO OVER IT... WELL YOU CAN BUT AFTER YOU GO OVER YOUR LIMIT THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER LIMIT. A LIMIT IS TO PROTECT YOURSELF, A WAY TO LET YOURSELF KNOW THAT YOU HAVE HAD ENOUGH. THIS IS SO TRUE IN EVERYTHING YOU DO. YOU CAN GIVE A SITUATION 100% EFFORT AND IN THE END YOU GET NOTHING BACK AND IT IS THEN YOU KNOW YOU CANT GO ANY FURTHER. YOU CAN ONLY GO WITH ONE THING FOR SO LONG BEFORE YOU REALIZE THAT ITS NO GOOD FOR YOU AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE A CHANGE. THERES ONLY SO LONG YOU CAN WAIT... SO LONG YOU CAN STAY... LENGTH DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE. ACTUALLY PERSONALLY... I WOULD SAY "LIMIT... WHAT LIMIT!!!" THATS MORE MY STYLE HAHA. BUT WHEN YOU ARE AT YOUR LIMIT AGAIN... WHAT DO YOU DO... DO YOU JUST FORGET IT AND LEAVE IT??? DO YOU KEEP AT IT UNTIL IT PAYS OFF??? OR DO YOU JUST NEED TO KNOW WHEN TO QUIT... WHO KNOWS... ITS ALL UP TO YOU IN THE END... LIKE EVERYTHING IN LIFE IT ALWAYS COMES BACK TO YOU... SINCE EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT LIMIT... ITS HARD TO SAY... ITS FUNNY BUT THIS SAYING REALLY DOES SUM IT UP QUITE NICE... "KNOW YOUR LIMIT, PLAY WITHIN IT."

SO HOW IS EVERYTHING YOU ASK??? WELL WORKS GOTTEN BETTER... I FINALLY HAVE TIME TO DO EVERYTHING ELSE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE... IT WAS JUST MADE OT LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND SO MUCH TO FOLLOW UP WITH BUT THE PAST FEW DAYS IVE HAD TIME TO JUST DO MY OWN THING AND GET STUFF DONE. IM ACTUALLY IN THE MIST OF STUDYING RIGHT NOW SINCE MY FINAL FINAL EXAM FOR THE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM IS TOMORROW NIGHT :) WOOO FINALLY DONE MORE SCHOOL... I GET ANOTHER PIECE OF PAPER... I SWEAR IVE BEEN IN SCHOOL FOR TOO TOO LONG. MEH I GUESS IT NEVER HURTS TO KEEP LEARNING LOL ACTUALLY THAT IS ONE THING I BELIEVE IN, TO ALWAYS KEEP LEARNING. JUST THE TESTING AND HW PART IS NOT AS FUN HAHA. I THINK THIS WILL ACTUALLY BE THE 1ST TIME IN A LONG TIME THAT I WILL ACTUALLY BE OUT OF SCHOOL... BUT WHO KNOWS... MAYBE IL END UP GOING BACK TO SCHOOL FOR SOMETHING ELSE CAUSE APPARENTLY I LOVE SCHOOL... FOREVER A STUDENT... HAHA
