should have been a storm



It rained all day in Tennessee. However, I'm pretty sure Georgia was just about the same. I enjoy the rain. I really do. It's just something about the cold and the rain...and when it's not even a storm...that irritates me. I've become more tolerant of it, though. I think the French Vanilla Cappucino I had this morning may have had something to do with it. I only had one cup. And it carried me through the entire day. My coffee addiction is dwindling :)

Oh, bokeh shots were taken in downtown Nashville, Tennessee earlier tonight.

tomorrow's tennessee


Going to Tennessee tomorrow. Going to hang out with some people, do some things...I'm not really sure what it all entails, but I don't really plan on asking. I just like the feeling of...going. Having an idea, but not knowing really what to expect or where I may end up. And with that kind of mindset, you always end up somewhat satisfied. Nothing is too much, and nothing is not enough. What happens happens and what doesn't happen, doesn't happen. Who loves you, loves you and who doesn't love you, doesn't love you. Where you get to go, you get to go, where you don't get to go, you don't get to go. Such a simple concept, but it takes all of eternity for people to realize that.

end of november, again.


Did absolutely nothing today. First day of Thanksgiving Break and I can tell this is going to be an enjoyable time. I do have homework, however, I am in no mood for doing it...nor do I think I will be in the mood for it anytime soon. Have to read Animal Farm by George Orwell by the 1st. I've read it before. But I need to read it again if I plan on keeping up in class.
-
Saw The Secret Life of Bees today. It wasn't what I thought it would be, but for the better. Loved the dialog.
-
I decided that over Break I'm going to learn all of the artistic movements from Classical all the way up until Post-Modernism..which we're taking forever to get out, by the way.

no more facebook.



Two days ago, I deactivated my Facebook account. Not only have a gotten 3 email notifications saying that someone has been trying to log in to my account, but it has been mentioned to me around 20 times as to did I really do it, and why I did it.
Even though none of these people will probably read this (considering they are more than likely on Facebook right now), I just wanted to mention that my reasons for distancing myself from Facebook are no different than distancing myself from any other distraction. It simply takes up too much time. And the more and more features the site adds, the more and more I don't get anything done. Messages, photos, photo tagging, wall posts, wall replies, the chat box, the bumper stickers (which I keep deleting, but it keeps reappearing), friend requests, the poking, the notes, status, relationship statuses, religious views, political views, what you're "looking for," people you may know, all the groups, group discussions--and the list goes on! Since I have deleted it, I have been so much more productive online, and just in general.
Overall, I can see how the site is useful and I do not condemn those who use it. I just know that for me personally, I am capable of so much and hours and hours spent into an internet networking website makes it almost impossible.
