Tis' The Season

 Once again, it is my favorite time of the year. The Holiday Season brings joy to even the coldest of hearts. Something about the music and smell of pine makes me smile. Although I hate the cold, I am partial to it because I cannot imagaine the Holidays without a few snow flakes and icy roads. And Of course , the shopping . Although I'm not particularly buying things for myself a good holiday sale brings joy to my life either way. The older I am getting the more appreciative I am becoming of the holidays and how it encourages you to slow down and spend time with family you have been busy ignoring all year. Speaking of the year one of my favorite and least favorite days is New Years. The older I get the faster these years are flying by however I am grateful to say I made it each other

Sleep

Sleep , the enemy when we are young and our Bestfriend when we are old. Lately I have been getting a lot more sleep than a full time college student who works should. The crazy part is I feel more tired than ever . Am I the only one who feels more energized throughout the day when I have woken up early ? It's strange I know. There are so many things I can get done in the day that I spend sleeping . So many successfully people talk about how they barely sleep . Clearly one has to do with the other. The more hours you spend in the day being productive the more successful you will be, in my opinion . I can sleep later in life, there's too much I can be doing with my time than catching some ZZZ's.

Horrible Bosses

Tonight I am watching a movie called Horrible Bosses. The main idea behind the movie is that three friends decide that when they're bosses are too much to handle they plan to kill them. They go to a inner city bar too look for a assassin. They run into Jamie Foxx better known in the movie as Muthafucka Jones, He then becomes there murder consultant in which he helps them carry out the murders without a actually being there. Considering some of the horrible jobs I have had this movie doesn't seem so far from reality. There is something about the title manager or boss that turns people into soul sucking creatures. Maybe I am being dramatic but you get the point. People hate their bosses , unless they are physically involved with them , that's a whole different movie. Horrible Bosses was a great movie and a great way to fake my mind off my own horrible job.

The election is over

America has decided and Barack Obama has been elected for another 4 years of presidency . Which means election 2012 is over. It has been a long time coming. No more robo calls or stupid election commercials. The news will now return to its coverage on random killings and popular Internet videos . Don't get me wrong I believe it is important to have a voice in this country and make it heard by participating in voting and other civic duties but this election season seemed more ridiculous than ever . My personal opinion is the other opponent was not even qualifies to run for president to begin with thankful enough people in this country agrees with me . Anyways the election is over . Long live the queen ...

The cold

Cold weather is not for me. Things die in cold , including my tolerance for it. I rather be hot than cold any day of the week. I feel as though I can never get warm enough . When I was a little kid you couldn't keep me out of the snow . From the first snow to the last I surrounded myself in it. But now the first sight of a snow flake I feel sick. As a matter of fact it snowed for the first time in Philadelphia yesterday and surprise surprise I'm sick ! I am counting down the days until spring and summer. The only thing I can say about winter that I enjoy is the fashion . Cute boots and coats help me through this dreadful time of the year giving me hope that it won't be so bad after all.

Hurricane Sandy...

   Hurricane Sandy's visit to the East coast has been a bittersweet one. It has caused much devastation,killings,power outages and flooding. However I have been able to sleep past 9 am in three months due to the school closures. My job however some how managed to stay open. But did I go in? No ! I refuse to risk my life driving down slipper roads waiting for an oak tree to end my life. Speaking of trees a pine tree decided to land in front of my house inches away from causing a second tree to fall on our car and inches away from falling on our house. But this is nothing compared to the devastation a lot of people have experienced. I am very lucky and grateful I am safe along with my family. These last three days have however drove me and my boyfriend up a wall. It is safe to say we will not mind when our regular schedule is back and in place. 36 hours straight sounded like a good idea.. But turns out , not so much. However today is a new day, the sun is trying to peek through the clouds, the roads are still wet but ready to be used. Now I must catch up on all the work have put off for the last few days and resume life before Sandy.

Eastern State Penitentiuary.

I recently visited the ESP over the weekend for a haunted house like walk through of the prison. Although I could barely see or keep my eyes open because I was so afraid I could not help but be fascinated with the former prison. This "Penitentiary" was the first of its kind. It was designed to emphasize principles of reform rather than punishment to its inmates. Some of the residents that stayed at this lovely facility include Al Capone. It is said that he  positioned himself in the ESP to cover for the Valentines Day Massacre that he participated in. His cell was in the area of the prison dubbed "Park Avenue". The name speaks for itsel. Even with all the damage that has occurred to the prison over the years it still was beautfiul to me. It was hard for me to imagine stepping inside of a hole in the wall and someone shutting a door and locking it with a key. Most of the cells I seen did not even have bars but small doors with a small peep hole for barely any light to escape through it. It was a very fun experience but surreal one, especially to be in place where so many men and woman lost their minds and their freedom.
