Happiness

Firstly, I am the possibly the worst blogger ever in terms of actually blogging.
Second, I DO have a folder on my computer comprised entirely of images/topics I plan to blog about.

Somehow, I feel these things even each other out.

TODAY'S THOUGHT: Happiness. How do I get it?
Good thing there are flow charts for just about everything these days.
Maybe it really is this simple.


 
     

 

All you need is LOVE

On the way to NOLA we were talking about songs and bands that are so important that they have been able to not only change the music world but also leave some sort of eternal impression on American (or perhaps worldwide) culture. Love them or hate them (which I hope you do not), I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone who does not consider the Beatles as one of the most influential bands throughout history.

Some more musical organization.

 

  

Small Town Soap Box

Heard this on my way to school this morning and thought it was interesting.

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.

The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.

The republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

I knew it!!

Breath of Fresh Air

Well, two months have passed and I have once again forgotten about blogging. For some reason it just doesn't seem to be something I am able to do consistently. Maybe it's because twitter, facebook, aim and texting are designed to be so quick and easy that I consider anything over a 5 minute update to be a novel of sorts.
Life in Athens is wonderful. I can't believe I am finally in my last semester of college. What a long road it has been, but how wonderful to finally see the end. This semester has already been packed full of activity but I am trying very hard to stop and enjoy moments of everyday. I feel like too often I get so caught up in what has to be done by tomorrow or next week that I fail to breathe in the joys of everyday things.
Today's breath of joy came when Allison and I went to the dog park with Freddie and Winnie and got to sit and talk for an hour while they played. It was nice to be outside and watch the dogs and for one hour not worry about anything academic. I know there is much to be done and that being busy is something I should be grateful for, but every once in a while it's so nice to just take one hour with a friend and pretend like the only thing that matters is your friendship and those adorable puppies.
