So my birthday was on Sunday the 28th. I had fun the night before with a bunch of family and friends.I drank way too much for someone who isn't used to drinking a lot at all, but I still had fun! I paid for the drinking when I got home of course,...and the next morning. I pretty much felt nauseous all day on my birthday. I'm not going to say drinking that much was worth it, but the night out itself was. I'm not drinking ever again! lol
I guess it's just another year added on, that's all. I'm 25 now, but am I supposed to feel older yet? I hope the next 5 years don't go fast. I am not looking forward to turning 30 someday. LOL, Hopefully I will age gracefully ;)

So that lady just died from drinking too much water after that competition, well of course she got intoxicated because she didn't go to the bathroom.......
Anyway, this is yet another point to even the 'good for you' things are never truly completely good for you. Take carbs for instance, they are good for me.I love them, but they are SO my enemy! What do I do? diet? eat them anyway? Society and media are really to blame for this.......making people think they have to look a certain way in this world. My goodness, what is next?

I am hungry though. It's the kind of hungry that you have no idea what you want to eat because you could eat everything on the planet. you know the kind.

Okay, so American Idol started today, right? Yeah, I'm a big fan. I have always wanted to try out, but oh my god if I ever sound as bad as some of those people on there...somebody PLEASE tell me before I make a fool out of myself to audition. Although,I know I'm not bad, I just don't know how great my 'star quality' is. Me and a lot of other people think I would have a really great chance of making it big, whether it's American idol or something else.Those are dreams though, we'll see.......I want to take the advice of everyone and just audition already, but I think I'd have a better chance of pursuing my dream by going about it some other way...and not American Idol. It's still a possibility though.

I really have sympathy towards 'some' homeless people. Think about it, it is so easy for anyone to become homeless. The majority of people live paycheck to paycheck, all it takes is you to lose a job,have a death of a loved one or a major disaster before you are living with nothing. Some people think homeless people are all just lazy and worthless. I'm not arguing the fact that many are lazy, drugged alcoholics, but others are simply people who have no friends or family to turn to. One could become homeless quickly or slowly overtime.

There are many low income people and families who live out of hotels or worse..the streets. The reality of knowing you're homeless seems the hard part, but think about how hard it would be to swallow your pride and ask others for money or food. Homeless people statistically eat once a day and sometimes don't have a shower for months. They may try to go to gas stations and restaurants to buy food or use the restrooms to wash up but they are kicked out many times because of the fact that they are homeless.How can one be expected to 'just get a job' when they have no way to successfully present themselves for an interview if they have nowhere to get cleaned up?

I think it is important for everyone to remember to help out the shelters and organizations to help these people because some of them really are just like you and I. I want to cringe when I go out into the bitter cold wearing my nice coat gloves, but instead I try to appreciate the fact that I have a coat to wear,a car to warm up, food to eat and a warm secure place to go 'home' to.

Would it kill me to donate that spare change lying on my dresser,in my purse and in my car? No,but it kills me inside to know that this is all it takes to hopefully deplete homelessness if everyone helped out a little here and there. Could you imagine your life that way, and what if you had children? Do you realize how many people die each year because they were homeless? I just hope everyone realizes that they should be more compassionate,..unless of course they wouldn't mind people turning there backs on them if they ever became homeless themselves. Just a thought.
