01.27.12 - Song of the Day: "Never Gonna Come Back Down"

This is probably one of my favorite BT songs. Always puts me in a good mood. And today, I'm in a good mood!!


BT ft M D - Never Gonna Come Back Down by 6souls

01.26.12 - Song of the Day: "I Remember"

I love, love, love this song.

If you do not want to drink a bottle of whiskey and slow dance with your broken heart, then by God, something is wrong with you.



Also, there was no song of the day yesterday...I wasn't feeling very inspired

01.24.12 - Song of the Day: "Move By Yourself"

This song is dedicated to my friend and baby sistah from another mister, Cristina. She's leaving & returning home to D.C. In the end, she knows she'll be happy there. We've only known each other for a little while, but she will be a forever friend and I hope this song will always inspire her.

"And then a friend said, Don't stop doing what you believe in. Don't let them put you on a shelf. You've got to move by yourself, move by yourself tonight. But don't ever be somebody that you're not. When there's a choice you've got to make, do what you feel, don't hesitate."

Frustration and Focus

I saw a sign on Pinterest and it said "There are over 7 billion people on the planet, are you going to let 1 person ruin your day?"

And I thought, wow, that's pretty powerful.

But today, I let one person @ poor customer service ruin my day. It was really the straw that broke the camel's back for this company. Normally, I'll let the amount of good customer service I've had greatly out weigh the one or two bad experiences I've had, but I couldn't get the frustration out of my head. The more I thought about it, the more pissed off I got. The less I thought about it, the more it created a mosh pit in my head.

What I should have focused on was the following: my dad became my hero on Friday night when he gave me $500. That was much needed. I'm able to hold my head above water until the 15th. I did my taxes today and I've got over $700 coming to me. That puts a dent into one of my credit cards. I'm getting $100 for concert tickets that I bought back in November back this week. That money will be put toward the deposit for my annual Key West trip. For the first time since I've returned from Australia, I finally feel okay about money.

I haven't felt that way since...well, never.

So...as I sit here and listen to the Wings vs Blues game, I am trying to like hell to take that frustration and focus on the fact that I actually may be credit card debt free by June.

HOLY SHIT! That would be awesome.

Listening to the Red Wings vs St. Louis Blues LET'S GO RED WINGS

01.23.12 - Song of the Day: "Lip Service"

Today's song of the day is "Lip Service" by Jimmy Buffett. There is no audio or video.

So I give you this picture instead...

I kind of feel like the little girl holding the gun. All I need is a willing target.
