Vanilla Coke

I am madly in love with Vanilla Coke. Its tasty and delicious and magical. Well the other day I was having less than the coolest day ever at work and as we headed to our last break my co-lead came over and handed me a 20 oz of Vanilla Coke and told me that I was a lot prettier when I was happy so drink up. I hadn't realized that the last time I had smiled was more than four hours earlier. I don't know if it was the coke or the smile, but after I cracked both I felt 125% better about my job and myself. I'd be willing to bet if we each gave out a figurative Vanilla Coke every day that there would be a lot more happy people and we could probably fix a few problems. Anyway, that was just my little thought of the day. :)

Growin' Up

Ya know there is an awful lot of stuff that nobody bothers to tell ya about growin up before it happens. Some of it isn't so bad, like you really don't keep your highschool friends. Other parts of it are just flat lame. Such as your first true love really does have to end with your first true heart break and in order to get where you want to be you have to let a lot of people walk on ya. I guess they don't tell ya because its a lot like the first time you touched a hot stove, everyone told ya it was going to hurt real bad but you still had to try it out for yourself. I guess its the only way people would go through some of it. If they knew just what would happen if they touched that stove magically on their own then chances are they would never touch it. But since they learned it through hear-say they had to figure it out for themselves. I guess its all to see what we will do when the situation happens. If we will stay stiff, bend, or break. I don't think that the people who stay stiff all the time really live. I think we need to do all three. I think there are a lot of things worth standing for and some things that just aren't worth acknowledging. And while there are a lot of things that could break ya, there are very few that should. Well now that I've tried my hand at a little philosophy and had a bit of a vent session I suppose I ought to get some shut eye :)

First Note

Most my siblings have blogs and since I'm heading off to college and starting this thing they call real life, I figured I would start one of my own. So, I guess here I go on my own :)
