Something

Torso disconnected
Like a web that's hardly spun
No counters rest your head and
Life is crawling on

Last night I finished watching Hot Rod. Here are my thoughts:
It's an incredibly silly movie. Every single part of the movie flows from one silly idea STRAIGHT into the next. It's phenomitastic. It's truly a work of art. Everything that happens is something unexpected, something so unusual to the "normal" human function. I feel that way too many movies these days are too predictable. I know exactly what is going to happen next.
B-O-R-I-N-G. Hot Rod is the exact opposite, its' unexpected twists and turns are pleasing the the mind. I Loved it. If you watch it and don't love it, you're only seeing surface level.

Open Your Mind, Quaid! *wiggly fingers at YOU*

This bit was supposed to be posted yesterday, but failed.
To your left we have the bath house, and here we have the candy factory, and over there is where the beagles live. If you'd like a tour of the stadium, I'd be happy to oblige.

We closed our eyes to let the colors form, and they started stacking like a mad game of Tetris. A hybrid male began to form, a one hand clutch to the rain-stopper which carried his wind upwards. We glanced down, the bricks that made his feet were drizzling a mess of XX. Something to transfix our attention on. Panic frenzy, gasp for air. The mud below was stretching upwards. But despite the spit that ran leashless down her throat, no screams could be mustered. So mustard came and saved the day. The mud went away. And the tomato garden melted, causing the boy to yell "Catch up!!"

That's it for today. Goodbye loves.

ir, a startle, and an exhale of easy content. Whisper soft, delicate. Brava, mi amore. Snore, sleep, sweet.
Her form barely creases the sheets, her lips curl, her eyes flicker. I wonder what she sees. The distant hum of a plane is over bearing to her ears. A st

Tension, Intention, Attention

It's that time of heart
When the deceptive
Come out to play

They with cruelty
Seem to always have
Their way

Minds shouting against
But hearts burn logic
For heat

I'd clear myself
Of this nonsense
Mind and heart Agreed

Life Asphyxiation

Over the course of the last 168 hours, I've had a grotesque abundance of suffocation. It would be nice to write a note and take holiday for a while. I'd like to take me and the little one to San Fran. We would sit in a park and I would make her a flower necklace.

Untitled

It's nice to pull my head out of the clouds. But reality is surely a sting. It's not a great feeling to realize you've been spinning your tires and not getting anywhere but further into the ground. I let myself get all sorts of tangled up, holding onto false hope/expectations. I need to stop diluting myself. I have so much more to live for that is solid, true, and wonderful. Like yesterday, an amazing day.

Until then,
Sophia

Yay!

The only way I can explain my day is to simply say, yay yay YAY! (I'm simply happy, let me be, you have no idea how great it is to be me) So my weekend was splendid, how was yours? I had some fun, I did some chores. My rhyming is so simple and clean, my day is glittery, so pristine.

The ocean was like an endless supply of sparkling champagne; bubbly, energetic, and wonderful. The waves were rough, and to frolic amongst them was as if you were riding a mechanical bull. The water, cold cold cold. Approximately 10 degrees above an ice cube. But a pure joy it was to conquer the fear and stand strong against the blast of cold water upon your skin. The sand was gritty, course, and abrasively found it's way into every nook and cranny of your body. It's nature's finest exfoliating treatment. You go in rough, get tumbled in the elements, and come out smooth and polished. For free! Hollywood's million dollar treatments can't even begin to compare.

The ocean is my weakness, love is my drug, and life is a trip.

With admiration,
Sophia

Well now that depends on the proportion of lettuce:tomato, and cheese:bread. Because if Cheese>bread, and lettuce<tomato, then they would just duke it out until it was one big messy glob of taco cheesy sandwich carnage.

In other words, A taco would win. :)

But then again, If it was ME that had made the grilled cheese sandwich, it would by far "take the cake." I make amazing grilled cheese sandwiches. Famous!

Michael Jackson. I was 2 years old, dancing in my living room, professing my love for him. I used to say I was going to marry him.

GROSS MORNING

I woke up 20 minutes late. I took an extra long shower. I couldn't decide what to wear. My bangs were in my eyes. I took a pair of shears to my bangs. I laughed at the discombobulation of my bangs. I changed my outfit. I changed it again. And again. I left my house 27 minutes later than usual. I skipped my morning Starbucks. I'm drinking nasty un-half and halfed, un-sugared coffee.

WTF. Complaints, go away.

The morning will be over at noon. I can survive until then. :)

I'm actually a LOT happier now, just venting about my morning helped.
Thanks for reading.

Love Always,
Sophia

t-t-t-Tuesday

There's nothing like paradigm shopping. Hillcrest is an amazing neighborhood for shopping, eating, hanging out, people watching, and living. It's small, quaint, and central. Amazing people, amazing EVERYTHING. So anyways, I was walking about with one of my fellow CGD students, shopping, fashion shows, and LOTS of giggling. At one point, my friend popped off with the comment "Bloody douche bag" (with a British accent). It made me squirm at the thought, and the squirm was followed by immediate hysteria. I found it SO bloody funny that I was forced to run into the nearest building to ask if I might use the loo. Luckily the nice receptionist at the Dentist's office let me use her loo, and I got 2 free toothbrushes. Random!

Then we went to Taco Tuesday last night. I was sipping my lemon water, and the same friend made me laugh again, this time water was expelled through my nostrils... Woo.

The most soul nourishing part of my day was spending time with my best friend. I missed him dearly while he was in Italy. It was nice to sit in his car and drive, sing songs, and just BE. <3

It's been a lot of adventures for me.

So gangster, I'm so thug,

if you had to fight a cyborg-pirate-ninja-jesus-titan... how would you defeat it?

I would dance for it. It would fall down laughing, and then I'd tie it up, throw rocks at it, and leave it for the vultures.

Dance Mania Monday

Hey everyone! It's Tuesday, Thank the Universe. Yesterday was quite a weird Monday. My hours got cut at work, so I was slightly bummed. Then I was frustrated with Coleman University and it's nonsense. But I lived through my day. Hanging out with my best friend made it a LOT easier. Thank GOODNESS he's back from vacation. Yay!

So last night, I went home feeling very, very grumpy. I hopped in the shower, which provided me with amazing relief. I'm so thankful, and feel SO blessed that I can shower, daily. It's a gift that I have to thank God for, with utmost sincerity. After my shower, I felt so wonderful that I had a dance party. (of course.) I recorded it, you can watch it here. Don't mind the fact that my butt is eating my neon shorts. Just appreciate the leg warmers, and my lumberjack hat. Haha.

I love being me. I learn more and more about myself everyday.

The more I Learn
The more I
Love

Who would win in a fight: pirates or ninjas?

Ninjas of course. They are meticulously trained, dedicated, and Asian. Pirates are just sloppy and drunk.

A Delicate Topic

I have a formspring account, you all know this. Well someone, anonymously, posted a couple things quite mean. I could have opted to simply delete them, and forget it ever happened, but I chose to leave it there and respond to them. Someone posted "I think your disgusting." I have tried not to let it bother me, but it has a bit. It makes me wonder why people are so mean. They were obviously a 'friend' on Facebook to have even seen the link to my Formspring. Thus leading me to the conclusion that people send friend requests not because it's a genuine outreach for communication, but because they want to spy on my life, and criticize all that I am. Ouch. :\

Here's how I feel... I try not to be mean to ANYONE, because it's MEAN to do that. It's negative, and ugly. That's not the kind of life or personality that I'd want to associate with. I try my hardest to bring life and joy to everywhere I go. I'm blessed that being joyful comes naturally to me. And apparently, some people can't handle it. They want to bring me down and hurt me. That SUCKS. I'm a strong girl, but I'm human. I have a heart, and it is open to all emotions, including pain. I know that I HAVE to understand that joy wouldn't be joy without understanding pain (like one of my previous posts explained), but it still sucks.

A seed was planted,
But the earth is unreceptive.
It shall not be given life,
A tree it will NEVER be.

With kindness and love for you all,
Sophia


Spring Cleaning

I've recently realized that Facebook is like closet clutter. You have a ton of friends, you talk to MAYBE a handful, and the rest are there simply collecting dust. I've also realized that some of the people on my facebook are NOT friends, they just want to spy on my life. Eff that. Delete, check. Ahh. :) Relief. So if you're still a friend on facebook, consider yourself lucky. You've made the cut, congrats.

Now onwards to a fine recollection of my weekend. Friday night was calm, and fun. Saturday found me at The Handlery hotel in Mission Valley, sipping a pina colada, poolside. The forecast said to expect clouds, but I happen to know a little someone with super powers that make clouds go away. So it was a gorgeous sun-shine filled day. We went swimming, hung out with some Aussies in the jacuzzi, and giggled in the sun. Loved it! Then it was adventure ON, to Keela's house. We watched It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. That show is funny. Gail the Snail...oh how you entertain me. *slurrp* Then it was sleepy time. So zz's were caught, and I awoke on Sunday feeling vibrant. I had lunch at Rancho (in North Park) I consumed half of a Vegan Burrito, walked around town for a bit, then it was homeward bound. Overall a splendid weekend.

But the BEST part, EVER (seriously, EVER) is that my best friend is home!!! YES! Brent has finally come home from Italy. I'm super happy. SUPER HAPPY. Life can go on as usual now. Yay!

Oh, here's a funny idea I had.. You know those Facebook groups that people become fans of? Well so many of them are odd, and just have STUPID ideas, so here's my input of a STUPID idea. How about a group called "Some food is so delicious that I regurgitate it to taste it again."
How 'bout 'dem apples, eh? It's heaps of stupidity. Word.

As usual,
xoxox,

Something Worthwhile

Do you ever feel like you get into a lull? Like life slows to a crawl and you're thoughts are only the impulses of reactions to what surrounds you... That's have I've felt recently. Like there's nothing spectacular going on. Now, this is only thought numero uno. It's one of boredom.

Now here is thought numero dos. How can we accept and enjoy what is good, if we do not accept and enjoy what is less than spectacular? (Note how I don't use the word "bad") It's like this: I enjoy the days that are overcast in grey, with dreary skies and drizzle. I think they're amazing, and I appreciate them. Why? Because if I ONLY knew sunshine and blue skies, I wouldn't appreciate it quite as much.

Here's what I'm getting at... When life gets you down, try to appreciate it. Open your mind and your heart to what lessons are available for you to pick up. Learn to appreciate the "down" times, so that when you start heading back up, it's SO much more enjoyable.

Knowing pain intensifies love.

Knowing rain intensifies sunshine.

Now for a conclusive bit of inductive reasoning: I need to enjoy this lull in my life, because it's only temporary and when I reach another upswing, It's gonna be SWEET!!

I hope you understand.

Love,
Sophia

What I meant to say last Tuesday

Was that being intoxicated at 1 in the afternoon, then going to Bellmont Park to ride the roller coaster is a hoot and a holler, baller! *dance dance* I suggest doing it. It's great.

I dance a Lot.

:)

LOVE IT!

Amazing Weekend!

Friday night was simply simple. Nice dinner, a bubble bath, a game of chess versus my computer, and then sleep. It was nice. Saturday was intense. Keela and I shopped at World Market, then BevMo. Only to find the most delicious drinks, EVER. It started with ChocoVine. Its a delightful mix of smooth chocolate, and red wine. It's imported from Holland, and goes down like chocolate milk, but with a kick. Then there was X-Rated. (French Vodka) This awesome fruity pink drink is so feminine it makes Barbie look like a man. Hey! Looks like the French actually did something right! Yes!! I made a blended "thingy" with it. X-Rated, Blood Orange Italian Soda, Sprite, Ice, blend! *Sip* *Aaah* The boys liked the drink but couldn't drink it, for their pathetic fear of being seen as a girlie man. Haha. I mean, how girlie can a pink margarita glass be, really? :) And then, to top of the drinks from the world, we had margaritas. Mmm delicious. So after a bit of pre-bar house partying...

I made it over to Kensington Club, for the Apes Of Wrath CD release party. I got there right as the boys were hitting the stage. It was a jolly good show. :) Got the CD, Yes! Got it signed by the band, YES! (I'm a big fan...sue me) Their music is so good your ancestors are shimmying in their graves. Check them out http://www.apesofwrathmusic.com

So let's fast forward to Easter Sunday. Holy Rising of the Magical Baby! Yadda yadda, fun stuff. I went to breakfast with my mom (gotta spend some time with el familia). Then I went to the beach, with Jeorge and Dustin (from AOW). Dustin wore my short short little shorts. wow. What a sight. I'd post the picture I took, but I lost my phone somewhere in the fiasco of last night. Haha. So after the beach, we all have sand in terribly awkward places. But we went to some little house party barbecue which was neat. People watching is a riot. Then after that, we dropepd Rob and Dustin off at Ken Club so they could gather their musical playthings. Then Jeorge and I went to The Blind Lady and had amazing pizza. I had 3 slices. Jeorge had 1. I, apparently, am NOT watching my 92 pound girlish figure. :) Then after pizza, we went to the Beauty Bar. WOW. Diamond Dog night at the BB. Quite interesting. All sorts of feather fluffing going on. Lots of boys with lots of things to prove. Haha.

The night ended..never. The night hasn't ended. I haven't gone to sleep yet. I'm at work, on a Grande coffee, waiting for noon to come around so I can get some lunch. Mmmm.

My life is grand. Wouldn't you agree?

SO GOOD

Okay, I was going to write about my AMAZING day yesterday. I'll do that at some point, but right now I only have this to say:

People who crowd around a baby carrier, crooning, cooing, babbling, baby-talking, "ooh i want to pinch your widdle cheeks!"...gah. Its damn nauseating.

People, it's just a kid.

Get over it, go back to work.

Insert vomit *here*
