I'm Just Waiting Til The Shine Wears Off.

Get situated before you start reading, this is going to be a long one.

My uncle and I went to Bryce Canyon today. If you haven't gone before, you really should! It is so beautiful. There is a canyon before Bryce..I think it's called Red Canyon, GORGEOUS. Makes the drive worth it. Here check out Bryce:




After that we decided we wanted some food. So we headed to my work, but on the way to my work we went through Zion National Park. Which is another must see. I didn't take many pictures there but I do have a picture of a goat for you guys!

And in case you guys wanna get creepy, that man is not my uncle.

I had such a great time with my uncle. He is so full of wisdom. Long car rides with him aren't awkward or boring. They are full of lessons, and not boring ones. Believe me, that last thing my uncle has are boring stories.

He is on his way up north now, which saddens me slightly. I don't see him very often.

Also, I just want to thank my friend Theodore for being here for me. He is one of the best friends I have and probably will ever have. He's been my friend since 2010 I believe ? A long time. We had a rough patch for a while, which was one of the most depressing years of my life.

Although, he finally figured out that what he did was wrong and we are close again! He reads my blog every night and he is what keeps me going. He makes me want to write to you guys. Even if he is the only one reading this haha.

Thought I should give a little shout out to him, he deserves it!

On to my babbling!!

So I made a bucket list recently. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a list of things you would like to do before you pass on. Some people don't like them because they are depressing, to me it's more of a list of goals than a death list, which some weirdos call it.

I'll tell you my first three and I will share one more every time I get a comment from my readers sharing theirs. Sound like deal?
  1. Parasail
  2. Take a calligraphy class
  3. Go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras.
Alright let's see what you guys want to do! I'm really interested, you might give me a few more things to add, we shall see!

I think that's all I have for you guys right now. I'm having a brain fart (for lack of better terms).
If I think of something else tonight I will write again. Comment and tell me your bucket list items!

Positivity

Warning : There is rambling. We are asked the same question over and over again while we become adults: When we are younger we say things like: Race car driver and Magician! Little do we know that our ideas on what we want to be in the future rarely stick. When I was a child I wanted to be a teacher, I think it was because I loved school and I respected my teachers, I looked up to them.  But as time went on, school wasn't so much fun anymore, it was more about discipline and our times tables. (You know, the hard stuff). I didn't like my teachers as much as I used to, so my dream of being a teacher changed pretty quickly. Of course, as I got older my dream job kept changing, it wasn't until my 13th birthday that I found the thing that stuck, Photography. My step dad bought me a Canon (I know, I know, gross) for my birthday. I took so many pictures!! And I was sure that photography was my thing, no one else's. ...

Life Changes

The year 2018 was not a good year for me. Two things that will send someone into a crippling depression happened to me... As I am still healing from this most recent one, I don't want to go into much detail. But for the rest of this post to make sense you'll need to know that Vincent and I are no longer together, after 8 years.. As time goes by I expect I will be able to open up about it. The past few years I have been stagnant. I still started a Master's program and got a new job as a manager, but I was just existing. I wasn't actually living my life. At the beginning of October I started a 6 week fitness challenge at a CrossFit gym in town. I lost 15 pounds and began to love myself again. But I still wasn't happy. It took the earth shattering, heart breaking, event to make me realize that I needed to do something about the way I have been living. I was one of those people who got up, went to work, came home and sat on the couch watching TV and waiting for the ...

American Ninja Warrior

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is having a great summer! Did you notice something different about tonight's post? Well, if you are an avid reader, I'm sure you have. Tonight's post's title is not a Coldplay song. (That sentence came out weird). I'm sitting here next to my mother watching a TV show called "American Ninja Warrior" Have you guys seen this show?? In my opinion it is Wipeout on steroids. Now, I'm sure the competitors aren't on steroids, it's just an expression. People from all over the country train for years (no joke) to get a shot at a million dollars. They go through these crazy obstacles trying to get the best time for completing the course. The top ten competitors from the semi-finals compete at "Mount Midoriyama" in Japan, which is the "birth place" of Ninja Warrior. I'm posting a short video so you guys can see what I'm talking about.   Check this out This show is truly amazing, s...
