I am at a loss of words

This may not mean much to you but I did something worth a little pat on the back.
Okay, screw that! This should mean something to you too, darnit!
As I was sitting looking out of my window for the last time in this room...
something totally crazy started happening.
(Actually not crazy at all. It was forecasted...)
A lightening storm was coming through my neck of the woods.
Alas, and of course, I snatched my camera and tried to take a picture.
Do you know how freaking hard it is to take a picture of lightening???
Well... do you?
I'll save you the trouble of trying to find out. Freakin' hard, man!
But after more than a few failed attempts, I got it.
Let me tell you... totally worth it.
(in a hopefully not failed attempt at over-analyzing life as I tend to do, isn't that like most things in life?
Takes more effort -> has a bigger payoff? Just sayin')
Well I happen to love this reward.

Tea Wisdom Wednesday

Once upon a time my tea told me exactly what I want to mold my life after.
(See above photo for mind-boggling advice)
I harbor the past like no one's business and I have realized that there are some things you need to release to move on. Being as young as I am it seems like what past... right? Well, for starters forgiving anyone that has hurt me. And let's face it... sometimes our feelings get hurt regardless of rationality. I find forgiving others is a piece of cake. The person I have extreme hurdles forgiving is myself.
I have to forgive the mistakes that I have made and realize that it has led to where I am at this exact point in time.
I would like to challenge you to take a look within and think of some things that you have lingering in your aura. Maybe you, too, are punishing yourself for events that you cannot change.
Let go. Remember the importance of your past however, try not to dwell in what economics (Sorry! It's just so tempting to use economics to juxtapose my life) is referred to as a "sunk cost".


Christian out

another day, another move

There lies yet another move in my immediate future. The feelings? Happiness. Nervousness. Excitement. Fear? I feel as though I have moved approximately seven hundred times in the last three years.
Make that seven hundred and one.
However this time is different. Mwahahaha.
No more dorm life.
Wait.
Seriously?
I am so ready to peace-out from Pace housing it is not even funny.
I have had such an adventure living in "the tower" as a freshman AND sophomore. More adventures living in Fulton over the summers. John st. half of this year and Brooklyn Heights for the second half.
Now it is time to move on to bigger and better things.

But for now I will share what I will miss about Brooklyn Heights...
Let's start with the obvious.
Only Kidding! ... or am I?

I will most definitely miss the myriad awe-inspiring views!
1895?
The sunsets...
The energy! (at the same time the easy-going relaxation that is Brooklyn Heights)
Oh the view! The view from my window will be missed very much.
...and I'm going to miss walking this bad boy. Such easy access from home to school. Basically a connection from door-to-door.

With all of this change comes much optimism and excitement and I cannot wait to find things that I will love about this next place.

Holy Mole. I walked through Chelsea with Colin yesterday and stumbled across this gem of amazement! Not only am I not surprised to see this painted on the side of building (Chelsea... no big surprise there) I was in shock. Bigger than a poster, billboard, the whole shebang was simply awesome! Who needs photoshop when you can just paint an 80'X100' mural of SEX AND THE CITY 2!!!! May 27th couldn't come soon enough... let the countdown begin!
T minus 17 days and counting!

Tea Wisdom Wednesday

I think that I want to start a little something called "Tea Wisdom Wednesdays". I drink at least two cups of tea each night to unwind and relax and recently noticed that on each little tea string was attached a message. What might seem a small gesture has led to some pretty interesting nightly analysis and insight into my own life and how this little phrase can be interpreted and applicable. If you happen to read this, or stumble across one of these... take a little time to look within.
When I think of this I simply smile. People that are negative (and, oh boy, they are in no short supply!) just tend to bring ya down... well, forget them! Rejoice in life's little pleasures, absorb them, then radiate and send that positivity out into the world for everyone to soak up, just like rays of sun beaming from your internal bliss. Bask away!
