The Cove

WARNING: THIS MOVIE WILL MAKE YOUR JAW DROP, MAKE YOU NEVER WANNA EAT SUSHI AGAIN, MAKE YOU FEEL BAD YOU EVER WENT TO SEA WORLD, AND MAKE YOU WANT TO BECOME AN ACTIVIST.

And activist for what you ask? DOLPHIN RIGHTS! No joke.

I watched this movie last night.
IT WAS SHOCKING!
This movie gave me a whole new perspective on something I had no clue was even going on.
Please watch it.
Maybe it will inspire you to help out in the cause as well.

Knock Knock....

It's your CHILDHOOD calling! Can you hear it?

"Inside all of us is a wild thing"
I. CAN'T.WAIT

Camp out.

Hands down the best camping trip EVER!

I've never laughed so hard in my entire 25 years of life!
Even with the cold wind.

Sometimes I forget how much fun camping can be.

And this particular trip was long overdue.

Especially with Rakai moving a million miles{actually more like countries and bodies of water} away from here in just a month.

Thanks friends for the "EXPERIENCE" {if you weren't there you don't get it...obviously}

Inspire Me.

I'm in the "process" of buying a home. A Short Sale to be exact{SHORT sales are the biggest

oxymoron I've ever heard of}

It's so far taken 2 months!

So while the purchase process is taking place, I've been thinking of ideas of how I would want to

decorate my house.

{photos found via: design sponge}

So many ideas!

But then I realize....DAMN furniture costs a lot of money!

Any ideas of where to find Affordable furniture that's of good quality?

And if any of you have the interior design "eye" let me know, I would like to borrow your eye to come up with good ideas, once my house is actually MINE to call home.

I wish.

For These items here.

Yes Please! I want I want!

Love

This Movie! It's guaranteed to make you cry with your ugliest cry face, and hope that your husband never travels in time!!

Sometimes

We like to do face masks and take funny pictures in them!

Dear Lindsay Lohan

I'm sorry your career is at it's all time low. But I can't believe that you've actually agreed to doing a made for TV movie! An ABC FAMILY MOVIE! Really? Is it because your legging line was a flop? I personally think your downward spiral all started with saMANtha Ronson. That's just my opinion.

This was not the career comeback I expected.



Truthfully yours,

Jocelyn

Talent

He might be old news. But I saw this kid perform for MJ's Memorial service. AMAZING!! By the way...He's 12! 12!

I would like.

1. A Boob job. I may..... or may not be saving up money for one. Seriously. But then all sorts of things go through my head like: Silicone or Saline? Under the boob? through the nipple? in the armpit? or Hell through the belly button? After kids? before kids? *sigh* :( Do you think if I volunteered to be on Dr. 90210 I would get one for FREE? Or does anyone else want one? Maybe I could find someone to do a two for one special?! Think about it.....

2.A job that I don't work weekends so I can have fun little two day ventures. example: Rakai gets to go to a cool Reggae concert in Park city this weekend. Would I like to go? YES! Can I? No.
:( I work. bummer. :(

3.Maybe just No job? One that pays well. REALLY WELL. know of one?

4.Invisalign? or maybe just veneers? YES!

5.An orca whale. No jokes. I want one.

That's all I've got for now. More to come later.

Back

To Life back to reality- En Vouge.

Unfortunately I'm back. I hate the feeling of coming back from a vacation only to realize that yes you still have a Job and real life. UUgghhh Vacation hangover sucks!! However I do have the day off! Which I've resulted in doing absolutely NOTHING! Honest. NOTHING! Alright so I did watch a bit of Wacko Jackos Memorial service-did anyone else see little Paris get up there to talk about her dad? Breaks your heart! :( Anyway.....other then that all I've done today is sit in front of this computer re-vamping this blog(as you can see) Not that it's all that cool. But just turn on your speakers and pump up the volume cause this blogger has added some sweet tunes for your hearing pleasure!

This particular post will have nothing to do with my fabulous vaca in San Diego. That will be coming as soon as boyfriend brings over the camera. (I obviously haven't purchased my own)

But what this post will entail is a wonderful little site I have found via TIFFANYS blog. It has so many great pictures that I've honestly sat here in this very chair for over an hour just browsing. It makes me want to be all Artsy fartsy and take pictures of things I think are cool. Enjoy!

Pictures compliments of Satellite of you Check it out!

On Thursday

I'll be headed here

San Diego!

The best part. Is we get to do a little of this.Kayaks intended! I'm so pumped! Be jealous! WOOT WOOT! :)

I Need.

A Camera. I've decided I can't really come back to the blog scene without one. Well I guess I COULD. I would just rather not. Not until I have a camera. Cause blogs are just cooler with pictures. In my opinion. It will happen soon. That's all.

Thankful

So lately I haven't been the most optimistic person. I feel like I've hit a Happiness rut and into the "My life sucks" pitty me syndrome. Why? Who knows. but there is so much greatness I have in my life that sometimes focusing on the crap makes it harder to see those everyday things to be grateful for. Sometimes I need those reminders. Thank you Tiffany for the "Thankful list Challenge" This one's for you! :)

Bangs?

Yup I did it. I cut bangs. Big deal right? It is! For me at least. I'm such a wuss when it comes to my hair which is probably why I've sported the same ole do for quite some time! I'm still getting used to them. I feel like a little school girl/Japan anime cartoon/band member for ANY 80's Rock band. But hey...it's something different! So thank you latisha for cutting my cool new bangs! I know...no pictures to show proof but I'll leave you with this:

Put these pictures together and you get ME! (Minus Japan Anime cartoons Huge boobs-I want those too!) This will have to do until I get pictures!

Quarter Life Crisis?

It's a new year and a year that I also embark on the lovely quarter life crisis age of 25. It's official, but I'm trying to embrace it.

Yes I'm talking about that quarter life crisis where I'm questioning where I am in life and if THIS is what I truly want to be doing? Where I feel like I'm having to justify my actions for not doing what is socially expected of me. As of now a white picket fence, a home in the burbs, and a minivan with soccer decals doesn't seem to excite me. but then again nothing in my life right now seems to exciting. I guess that's what the quarter life crisis is about. finding what does excite me. figuring myself out(still) and finding my passion in life.

I guess I should clarify. I'm mainly talking about my career. Can I call it that? I don't know if I pictured myself at 25 sitting behind a computer all day doing car financing. Actually, I'm sure as hell that's not what i had planned for myself. Although it is a good job "for now" I pray I don't get sucked in to this way of life and BAM before I know it I'm at the Mid-life crisis age of 50 being one of those "should of could of" saps and purchasing a new shiny red sports car with my new 18 year old boyfriend. Okay....that may be over the top, but you get it.

I must also clarify that boyfriend is not included in this so called crisis (Okay maybe one day I had a freak out sorry babe!) If anything he adds excitement and the drive to figure out what I really want, and for that I'm thankful. I never would have imagined being lucky enough to have him as my boyfriend. boy how life has changed from one year ago. An AMAZING change at that.
So I guess the crisis for me is about life. Growing up, transforming, and figuring out MY REAL path, and finding PASSION in it. It's about not getting stuck somewhere because it's comfortable. It's about being fearless and not giving a shit for not following the "norm" whatever the "norm" is anymore. What it's really all about though....ME! Me ME me! :) Selfish? Nah.

So ummm..... what's goin on for the new year with all of you?
