Whatever happened to me?

Have you ever found yourself in a mood that everything in the world seems to annoy you? And when it comes down to it you actually start to annoy yourself, or get annoyed with the mood that you have let yourself fall into?

I am ready to take a nap and just get this day over with already.

Bridging the Gap

This past weekend my parents and I went to the Natural Bridge located in...you guessed it...Natural Bridge, Virginia. It was quite pleasant. We stayed in Lynchburg, Virginia. The hotel was very nice. I can only stay in the best. Just joking. The natural bridge is very beautiful. However, there are a lot of snakes and bugs, considering that it is outside. Also there is a waterfall that you have to hike to. It is called Lace Falls or something like that. The only problem is is that you cannot get too close to it which kind of sucks because I wanted to at least put my feet in the water.

Needless to say the weekend ended faster than it began. But, when you work that is how it always is.

Father's Day

For those of you who are father's I hope you had an excellent Father's Day.

I was in Baltimore over the weekend. I stayed at my Aunt Velma's house. I wanted to get away for a little bit but also, to go swimming. My Aunt has a wonderful built in pool that is heated and quite deep. I swam for 4 hours Saturday night. Now on Sunday I didn't do as good. I think I was a little water logged. We had a cookout for Father's Day. Time flew by. I was tired from the night before. My Aunt would not shut up to go to bed. So I finally made it to bed around 3:30 a.m. I did not get to sleep in either. I was up by 8 a.m.

Thank god I'm not a father because I would have been too exhausted to take care of the kid.

It's a nice day for a white wedding

Well it is official. April is married. She has been married for almost 48 hours now. She was absolutely stunning. April has always been beautiful though. I think that when a woman wears a wedding gown for some reason their beauty is amplified. Adam didn't look too bad in his tuxedo either. He cleans up quite nicely.

And, yes I almost started crying when April started walking down the aisle. For some reason I always think that things change after someone gets married. Friendships are never as strong as they used to be. It is not like someone means for it to happen but it does. I can see my future already...alone. And I am very content with that. Always have been always will be. I believe that most people are meant to fall in love and get married and then there are a select few that are to spend their lives alone, with the exception of friends and family. And at best a person like me can expect to have a hand full of life long friends. I believe that April is one of those even if things change like they did with Amanda (my college friend).

I just hope that Adam makes April happy. Because if he doesn't he better understand that I will cut a bitch...LOL. What April has always needed is someone to love her. It is different with her family because they cater to her brother, Chris. They do not supply the kind of love that April needs and I hope and pray that Adam is able to supply her with all the love that April has been deprived of throughout her whole life. She knows that I love her with all of my heart. She in a sense has been my backbone through the years. She has always been there to make me laugh and help me rationalize things when I am frustrated. So yes I am very protective of her. I can't imagine it any other way. And I hope that the same goes for her.

But enough of the sappy and emotional bullshit...it's too depressing. I had a good time at the wedding. I got to see Regina (my friend from high school who lives in Texas). Regina is still as funny as the day I met her. I am glad that we were able to get a picture together with April. We have dubbed ourselves "The Triple Threat." Oh the crazy shit we did when we were all just kids. Dancing in the highway, being bad at WalMart (which you can be), going to the adult video store, dancing at the clubs or any place that allowed us to dance, and working together. All that is in the past but damn how I like to think about it.

So, I guess the whole thing to this story is to always be there for your friends. No matter what. They are infact the backbone and strength to your life even if it doesn't seem like it at the time.

Farewell Washington

Well I am back at work. My trip to Washington went very well. It is very beautiful there. All the trees and water. My favorite thing however, was seeing Mount Rainer while I was flying into Seattle. It was covered in snow and was very beautiful.

Seattle, however, was not that pretty. It was very busy. The roads were very bumpy. I know for sure that I like New York and Baltimore way better when it comes to city living. I did however, enjoy Pike Place Market. The vendors and artists there were very interesting. I bought a couple things. My favorite being a shirt that reads "Allow me to introduce my selves." I also was able to go to the birthplace of Starbucks. I had a Grande Mocha Frappacino with whipped cream. I bought a mug there. The market does stink though due to the fresh seafood at your disposal.

I really didn't like the set up for Tacoma either. Maybe I'm just too picky. It seemed very choppy there as well.

As for having a good time I did. I enjoyed staying with Erin, Andy, and Baby Ella. Ella who by the way is one of the cutest babies I have ever seen and one of the most animated. I will go back to see Erin. I don't know when though. The weather there is way too depressing...clouds upon clouds and rain. No wonder they have a very high suicide rate.

So now I am back at work. I was supposed to be off today to help with April's wedding which is tomorrow. However, one of the other girls had something come up so I told them that I would work today. I think that I am leaving early though. Afterall I do have a rehearsal to go to.

Oh and my hair is now blonde. I'm a natural dark brown. I went platinum but changed it to a softer blonde. I love it.

Until later...
