Things I've been pondering...

So I just watched Soul Surfer, that movie about Bethany Hamilton, the girl who lost her arm in a shark attack and then went on to become a professional surfer. And it was a really great movie! I cried like 8 times haha. But really it made me think about how lazy and scared people are to do things and this girl conquers amazing challenges without giving up at all! Really makes me want to do more than what I am. Anyways on a more lighter note. Do you know what is really annoying?!? When you paint your nails and not even 20 minutes later they are freaking screwed up! Ugh that shit pisses me off! I wish they would come out with a nail polish that drys in like seconds and hardens so it doesn't crack off right away!! I mean your telling me that they have a nail polish that cracks and they can't come out with one that just drys fast?!? Bogus, just bogus! Ya know what else I wish someone would invent...a machine that could hook up to your head and just record your thoughts, because it is tough trying to write or type stuff down when you feel like your brain is going a mile a minute! But I'm sure the government wouldn't want that because i guess it could be used as a weapon for blackmail and other things. Like let's say someone somehow caputres the president or something and instead of threatening with weapons, they hook up the thought recorder (I gotta work on the name) and record some of his darkest thoughts and then threatens to tell the world or Michelle Obama lol! It would be classic! And those are just some things I've been pondering!

The People of NoHo a.k.a. North Hollwood

Have you ever picked up and moved your whole life somewhere new and completely different from what you know? Have you ever experienced more in 9 months than you really have your whole life? Guilty on both accounts! I recently just moved from a town outside of Cleveland, Ohio called Painesville to North Hollywood, California and let me be the first and definitely not the last to tell you that it is a fucking culture shock! Now when I came here I was already ready for what was ahead of me and ,I think, prepared myself the best I could, but even after that I still felt like I was in a dream at times. Hell, I still do! Its probably the most exciting and scary feeling when you move somewhere new...ESPECIALLY North Hollywood! I like to think that North Hollywood is the breading ground for young dancers, young actors, young musicians, bums, hippies, and the mentally insane! Yes I know that is kind of a weird list but I assure you if you came here you would know exactly what I am talking about! I often walk the streets of NoHo because it can be more entertaining than watching Twilight or Fast and the Furious in my book! You can see people practicing acting skits outside the dozens of theaters, watch bums try and beg for change,hookers standing under the NoHo sign, salsa dancers practicing for their big show, or a ton of "Almost Accidents" at the intersection of Lankershim and Magnolia. I'm telling you cable TV has nothing on NoHo! And its funny because everyone really does fit into a certain category. There is the old grump weird men, the dancers, the young entertainers, the crazy ladies, the creepy guys and the unknown. Everybody basically fits into one of those categories in one way or another. I'm going to start a cartoon series about all of the wonders of NoHo so that everyone can experience what I get to! Honestly thought...I wouldn't want to start off anywhere else!

Happy New Year 2012

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!!
   Wow Its 2012 already! Where the hell does time go, seriously though?! I feel like just yesterday I was in high school throwing parties at my dads house. But time sure does fly! Obviously New Years is really about making New Years Resolutions that that people can pretend to have a reason to change things about themselves rather than just doing it just because it would make you happy or healthy or whatever! But I'm not going to lie, I did make some New Years Resolutions of my own and I think they are pretty realistic. New Year's Resolution #1: To do more networking and meeting new people. And that's the only one that I can remember right now but I have about 4 others. Anyway, I think 2012 is gonna be a great year! I'm starting it off with a bang by hiking to the Hollywood Sign with my friends! Should be a fun little way to start off the new year with something healthy. Sorry, I'm really tired trying to type this and I don't think my brain is working. I will write more later and I promise it will be awesome!
