False Advertisement Is No Good

The most genuine impressions start with not trying to make one.

Shoo Fly, Don't Bother Me

     I swatted a fly with a rolled up magazine today. As I shrunk back in horror, my eyes grew big with trepidation. I immediately wanted to take back my fatal swat. There he was, smooshed all over my friend's window (sorry Natalia). It all happened so fast. I felt awful. I still feel awful. I guess this was my first fly kill in my life, or the first one I paid attention to.
     I immediately thought about my fancy green fly swatter I have in my house, the one with the bright pink flower. Why make a pretty fly swatter? Is it to distract you from the smeared bug guts all over your counter, window, or wall?
     I know this was a pointless post, but I was extremely disturbed by this incident today. So now, here I sit doing research on the computer with the remnants of my murder still smeared across the window (again, Sorry Natalia). His poor fly brother is still buzzing around annoying me. Don't worry little fly, I'm going to suffer through it. I couldn't stand the guilt of another fly soul on my hands. 

Movin On Up!

     Congratulations to my friend Natalia! I will never forget watching you push through school! I'm so happy that I got to be your friend for the last 3 years of your college career! What an unbelievable inspiration! What a wonderful example of dedication and perseverance! Don't ever let anyone try to put you down. Keep riding the high of this accomplishment!I don't care if it sounds boastful, if you want to mention that you earned 3 degrees in 4 years of college.....you go right ahead...you've earned the right. Girls may be jealous, and it's natural. It's what people do with that jealousy that will determine if they're worth sharing your time with. Keep doing the Natalia dance through life, it's serving you well. People will judge, make jealous digs, try to bring you to their level only to feel some sort of accomplishment of their own. Fight it, hold your head high! You are an inspiration in so many different ways to your friends. Congratulations and Good luck love!


     I met Natalia outside of her last test at Armstrong Atlantic State University with balloons and champagne, naturally. We popped champagne in the parking lot and yelled obnoxiously of course. I topped it all off with pouring the champagne right in the new college grads mouth! Then we got out of there because we didn't want to get Natalia in trouble only a few days from her graduation!

Natalia and I celebrating at Macdonough's later that night! We had a rough patch for about 10 minutes but recovered quickly, as champions do! I remember walking into Macdonough's and hearing people say "Umm sweetheart, you're friend is done." My response, drink your beer she's got more party in her. A little spinach artichoke dip later, and we were blowing up karaoke! It was her night, she spent four years working hard at school....so my sentiments were "she can do whatever she liiiiike." So glad we had a great night, just have to know where to escape!
