Cheeky Chatty

Have you ever crashed from a high?  The high doesn't necessarily have to be drugs, but it could be the completion of an important project barely missing the deadline.  It can be a fireman rescuing a family, or finishing your first marathon.  Whatever it was that exhilarated you, can also come to a screeching halt...like love.  Sometimes, I get certain songs stuck in my head for a day or even a week.  Whenever the song begins to fizzle out, its purpose becomes known.  Apparently,  Rihanna's We Found Love , has been the pick of the week. I was at full capacity of love for about a month or so, and it felt like a year. Everyday was a blast. Everyday was filled with music. Everyday was filled with food, friends, and lifelong memories. Everyday, I was drunk. There were some sober days, but not so much.  During that time, I was careless, carefree, and happy.  It was definitely toxic love, and I took longer to get over it, than the...

Amazingly, there is this large notion that people join the military to escape the harsh realities of life.  The fact that it is a volunteer force, makes those that apply, volunteers of the lazy life.  My information was derived from the answers from the first discussion question of my sociology class last week; which was to describe a sociologist's view of why the American military does not represent the cross sections of Americans, from an article we read from New York Times . The responses were incredible, and I soon realized that I was the only one in my class that had done any military service.  The article indicated that people from rural, inner cities, and low income families join the military, which creates an unfair volunteer force.  One reply was from someone who mentioned that people join the military because they want the benefits, and do not want to "try" working in the real world, because it's easier to have people tell you what to do (dumb b!tch)...

Trending twitter topics are always interesting.  Answers from around the globe tickle my sides, and also cause full on belly laughter.  Currently one of them are #IveAlwaysWantedTo, to which the first one I seen was from: Evil_Dumbledore: #IveAlwaysWantedTo turn around in a big chair, and say "I've been expecting you..." Absolutely hilarious!  In fact, I'm going to do it at work tomorrow :).  So, what would my answer be?  I don't know.  I've done a lot in my life, and traveled all over, and had some pretty fun times...stuff that just kind of happened unexpected.  Also, I have done a lot on my life list that I created when I was eight; however, the last thing was to be president (not so much anymore).    Along with trending topics, you get to see the overall voice of people in general; which is to be accepted for who they are, and how they are viewed.  At times I have wished I could step outside of myself to see what other people see,...
