Mommy wow! I'm a big kid now!

So... I'm overwhelmed-really overwhelmed. I cant really say that the feeling of "growing up" is a new to me ... because, well I've always considered myself to be quite mature and focused for my age. But at this current moment... I wish I could go back to being 5, where the biggest worry I had was if Count Dracula was going to be making an appearance on Sesame Street that day.

I'm 25 years old with a soon to be Masters in Travel and Tourism Management from NYU- what does that mean? I'm way to ambitious for my own good! I am seeking a job that is challenging, interesting and one that will hold me accountable! That's what I WANT... but I think the world is way to focused on my AGE therefore, I want to go back to being 5.

Another issue I face being a 25 year old, misunderstood, go- getter, is that I feel like I'm settling. I HATE SETTLING- I am not a "settler." (Although my best friend may disagree with this statement when it comes to men...but that's a whole different night).

Why does the corporate world have such a fascination with age and why do they feel that generation Xer's between the ages of 24-25 cant possibly do what a 40 year old can do! PLEASE.
I'm not perfect, but I have the sass and knowledge to run circles around some of my colleagues.

I'm not eager to grow up... I'm just anxious for the day that I'll be taken seriously. However, right now- the Care Bears are looking real nice!

Angels and Airwaves

So... I will admit I am a One Tree Hill fan. I havent always been a fan... but lately I find myself in front of the tube on Monday nights.

So Angels and Airwaves was featured on the episode tonight, and I am digging them! I know I may be the last person on this planet to discover them- but so what! I discovered them.

Secret Crowds
(If I had my own world)(I'd build you an empire)
If I had my own worldI'd fill it with wealth and desire
A glorious past to admireAnd voices of kids out walking, Dogs, birds, planes, cleanest cars
If I had my own world
I'd love it for all that's inside it
There'd be no more wars, death or riots
There'd be no more police, packed-parking lots, Guns, bombs sounding off,
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empireFrom here to the far lands
To spread love like violin
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violins
Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fireSecret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
If I had my own world
I'd show you the life that's inside it
The way that it glows when you find it
The way it survives with it's families, Friends or it's enemies
Let's make this a new world
I swear you can go if you want toI know that you have that within you
Inventing the first clean and usable, God's greatest miracle
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empireFrom here to the far lands
To spread love like violins
If I had my own worldI'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violinsLet me feel you, carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louderLet me feel you carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
Let me feel you carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fireSecret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
Let me feel you carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

Taking the easy way out

Do you ever stop and wonder how life wouldve been if you decided to go down the other path? Perhaps take the "easy way out".

Maybe you did take the easy way out- so if thats the case... this blog wouldnt appeal to you.

It's a rainy Saturday night in NYC- its quiet in my new apartment and I got to thinking about life.

I know someone in my life who took the easy way out. When he was young he moved to California and moved right back to Jersey...

When he met me... he took the easy way out- couldn't handle what I had to offer so went right back to Jersey.

I pity him- I do.

You can follow the yellow brick road and be safe all your life, never take chances, never let go... or you can live.

Thank God I'm living.
