Interesting things
I'm an interesting person, we all are, and I need to pay more attention to my issues. I was talking with a friend last night about one thing, and another friend today about something else and I've come to a realization. I am way too negative. A lot of it is the way I was brought up, always look for the worst case scenario so you can prepare for it. Worry isn't a wasted action if it helps you find the solution, etc etc. Though there is a benefit to being negative once and while, I think I've slipped into it to the point that I am rarely positive about things anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that everything is doom and gloom, but my first thoughts are usually of the worst case. Why not consider the best first?
So in an attempt to better myself as a person and to stop annoying the hell out of B I am going to work on being more positive.
Every time I catch myself having a negative thought I shall correct it to something still realistic, but more positive.
I wonder if there is something in people that makes them pes or opp?
I wrote something neg here, so I erased it, lol... I will be able to do this, it might not be easy but possible. I guess I gotta stop playing with cigs too and just quit. I messed up yesterday and had like four... now today I'm having a really hard time of it, duh, my own fault... but that's ok because with my new and improved personal positive mindset quitting should be a breeze :-)
I really hope I don't become one of those people who lie to themselves about how easy everything is going to be.

11 reasons you're
11 Reasons Why You Aren’t Getting Results
1. You Procrastinate. You keep putting things off. Either you start taking action, or you forever lay in peace.
2. You underestimate your goal. Achieving a goal is about getting from point A to B. People fail because they underestimate what it takes to get to A to B.
3. You spend more time defending your problems than taking action. Spend less time talking about your problems and use that time to think about solutions. Then act on them.
4. You're too enclosed in your own world. You don't venture out beyond your normal routine. You do the same things. It's no wonder you stagnate.
5. You're not working smart. You do the same thing over and over, even when you don't get results. Look at people who have achieved the same results before, and learn from them.
6. Avoidance (Fear). You avoid taking action because some of the things you have to do intimidate you. Face the fear and do it anyway.
7. You're easily distracted. You get distracted by things thrown in your way. Don't let anything (or anyone) distract you.
8. You over-complicate situations. Common among the neurotic perfectionists.
9. You give up too easily. You give up before you even get anywhere. Persevere, press on, and it's a matter of time before you reap the fruits of your labor.
10. You lose sight of your goals. You settle for less, forgetting the goals you once set. Reignite your vision and don't ever lose sight of it. It's your fuel to your success.
11. You're too stuck in your ways. You insist on doing things a certain way. You can only improve if you are willing to try new things.

First entry
This blog isn't going to be meant for anything special. It's just somewhere I can blog about life, boring things, and odd thoughts.
I'm the type that has a lot of odd thoughts, but not the good kind that make everyone stop and go Hmmm, no instead I have the kind of odd thoughts that make people stop. That's it, just stop, possibly run away.
Let's see, what is there to know about me? Well, let's start with I'm twenty five years old, female. I'm very confused with my life right now, I'm questioning a lot of things that I've always just assumed. I have an interest in space but lack the talent in math to really develop that interest. I also enjoy the sea and oceans, but to be honest I'm one of those emotional type females and I find much of what is going on in the sea to be much too sad. For one quick example there is a pile of trash, mostly invisible molecules and plastics, floating in the ocean... this pile is larger than Texas. Picture that... Texas floating around in the sea. Made out of trash, and not good trash that will eventually break down, no, plastic that will be around long after we're gone.
I enjoy writing. I think I might even be ok at it. I used to think I was good, then I read some really good works and realized that I was ok. I still try to work on this skill and have dreams of one day being the Stephen King of my generation. It's a long shot, so I have a back up plan. I'm in school to be a teacher. I'm in my first year of college, have some catching up to do, but in four or five years I'll have a real job for life, instead of something I don't even want to admit to.
I've been poor a lot of my life and at this point I'm starting to realize that now it's my own fault. I might not have been able to control a lot of my life growing up, but that doesn't mean I can't now. and yes, there is a lot that is out of your mine or anyone's control. But that doesn't mean I can't prepare and be ready for when I can take control! lol, sorry, I'm on a fix my life kick...
Which brings me to cigs. After smoking since the age of 9 I have decided to quit and quit for real. Like most smokers, especially lifelong smokers, I find myself quitting dozens of times through the day, it just doesn't last. Ask any smoker, they've quit. They'll say they've quit before even while smoking one at the time. Well this is day four of that little experiment and I'm pleased to say I have yet to murder a single soul. That is thanks to God and my friends.
