So I’m sitting in my apartment working on my project, and I find myself in need of an energy drink because I’m starting to get sleepy. It’s around 2am and there is basically a hurricane going on outside so there is obviously no way I’m about to risk my life and go walk a billion miles to try to find a convenience store that’s open. In other words, I’m lazy and I don’t like rain. So what exactly am I supposed to do? Oh yeah, that’s right…there’s this company called Burpy that exists now!

If you haven’t already heard, Burpy is a new start-up that deliveries groceries to people in the Austin area. Today was the first time I decided to give Burpy a try and I have to say, it’s pretty awesome! You just go on the website, pick the products you want (all at reasonable prices too!), and checkout. Within an hour, you can have your groceries delivered to you by a Burpy professional (they wear polos…this is legit, people!) in a convenient little Burpy tote bag (which remember, is oh so handy now that there’s a ban on plastic bags in all the stores!) Go check out Burpy at www.burpy.com or search them on fb/twitter to learn more. Seriously, go place your first order and give it a try. You won’t regret it!

————————————————————

In all honesty, I’ll admit it…I know the guys who own Burpy so you might just ignore my recommendation and think I’m lame and biased. But, if you’re willing to look past that fact, then believe me when I say I wouldn’t be shamelessly promoting a company so much if I didn’t actually believe in it or appreciate the service I received (and if I wasn’t actively looking for an excuse to not work on my project…duh! Just kidding =P) Check them out and send them your business, don’t just take my word for it. I guarantee you’ll want to avoid doing your homework and type up an essay on Burpy afterwards too. It’s a great deal at a great price!

What would you do?

So I need advice. I have an offer for a summer internship in Boston on the table that I need to respond to this week. It’s for a pretty good company (Fortune 100, typical office job). On the other hand, I am in the process of interviewing for an internship with my DREAM company. The downside is, the chances of me actually getting this internship with my dream company are sorta slim because EVERYONE wants to work for them, so its really competitive. Plus, the interview process has a lot of steps and doesn’t end until the end of April which means if I don’t get it, it will be really hard for me to find another internship since most companies are done recruiting by then. Should I accept the current offer I have or risk everything and go after my dream internship? HELP me. All suggestions are welcome.

“After awhile, you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. You learn that love doesn’t mean leaving and company doesn’t mean security. You begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises. You begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open; with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child. You learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans. After awhile, you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. You learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong, and that you really do have worth. You learn with every goodbye, there’s a hello.”

Close your eyes, clear your heart, let it go...: Stop taking me for granted. Just stop. Just because I don’t get pissed...:

Stop taking me for granted. Just stop. Just because I don’t get pissed more than once, or because it seems like I will always stay with you, doesn’t mean that I will. I can get mad too, and I will pack up and walk away if I don’t get what I deserve. Like they say, once bitten twice shy. I’ve…

"I’m tired of being this person, being expected to fall into the format, & twist into what..."

Sun, 23 Dec 2012 08:15:05 -0500

“I’m tired of being this person, being expected to fall into the format, & twist into what everyone else expects me to be. I’ve changed so much in the past few years, jumping from one thing to another, making so many mistakes. Trying to grow up. I constantly remind myself of the past, & how I must change to keep the person who is my everything, my only safe haven. I’m scared of losing my imagination, because when life gets hard, & everyone’s against me, it’s all I can do is pretend. I’ve been lied to, betrayed, & back stabbed, by my best friends, and even my own family, I just can’t take it anymore. I miss being a kid, & wish I could turn back time. Looking back, things seemed so great then. I was actually happy with my life. I have flaws, I’m so unhappy with them, but I put up a front. Little things irritate me, & I’m so indecisive. I hate how I ramble on, about my weaknesses. If I’m happy, I’m automatically being fake, if I’m upset, I’m automatically too expressive. I have few legitimate reasons to hate the world, nothing ever seems to go my way. I used to be good at manipulating people, good at getting what I wanted. We only tend to see the hurt in our life, to hold on to the negative, but isn’t that all we can do? I have to keep fighting, have to keep letting the people I love, know that I’m willing to make sacrifices for them. I need to learn to accept that things aren’t all about me, that even if I’m not happy, then the happiness of the people I love is what counts. I need to continue to grow, to change, & mature. I hate being stuck in the middle, seeing everything only at eye level. I’m tired of wishing I was a character in a book, that the villain would get his payback, and everyone would live happily ever after. I miss the dream world I used to live in, and I regret waking up, regret being hurt, & hurting people in return. Ignorance is bliss, and sometimes, I really wish I didn’t know any better. I want to become religious again, to feel at one, and know that even if everyone on earth hates me that God is right there by my side, guiding me. I want to feel the power of prayer, & cry from being happy, from knowing that things are always going to be okay. I’m done with drama, lying & sin. I’m not trying to be perfect, I’m not trying to be something I’m not. I just want to live, and laugh, and be happy. I want to finish school, marry him, & start a family. I’m like an open book, my feelings are shown on my sleeves. I’m clumsy, & break things. I fall down, especially in front of people. I can be uptight, but my laugh is contagious. I want everyone to experience peace, know how good things can be, so they’ll strive harder for it. All is not fair, in love, it never will be.”

I have this problem. I can never let myself just be happy. Whenever I’m happy, I just have to think about the past and ruin it. EVERY SINGLE TIME. Why do I keep doing this to myself?

“Sometimes I feel like there’s a hole inside of me, an emptiness that at times seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean. I have this dream of being whole. Of not going to sleep each night, wanting. But still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing… I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me. I want to be seen. I don’t know. Maybe I had my happiness. I don’t want to believe it, but there is no man. Only that moon.”
