FOOTPRINTS

Some people come into our lives 

and quickly go.

Some stay for a while 

and leave footprints in our hearts.

And we are never, ever the same.

Venice Beach, CA

L.A. METRO

The Los Angeles Metro or MTA 

[ Metropolitan Transit Authority ] 

Either you've 
1. taken it a few times
2. didn't know it existed
3. or are extremely horrified of it 

 My route has only consisted of taking the Metrolink train to Union Station and taking the Gold Line to Old Town Pasadena. Gotta love Colorado Street and the Rose Bowl Flea Market! I would not dare take the blue or green line just for what I've heard so basically I'll break it down in the easiest way possible. Mind you this is just from "word of mouth."

Red Line-  Tourists and whatnot
Blue Line-  Lack off a better word, Ghetto 
Green Line- same as above
Gold Line- It's whatever

 It's not as bad as it seems, but any transportation is better than no transportation! Living in California you definitely need a car to get around, but I sure do miss the London Underground and enjoyed it much more than the LA metro system.

GENIUNE SURRENDER

       Genuine surrender says, "Father, if this problem, pain, sickness, or circumstance is needed to fulfill your purpose and glory in my life or in another's life, please don't take it away."

You know you're surrendered to God when you rely on God to work things out instead of trying to manipulate others, force your agenda, and control the situation. You let go and let God work. You don't have to always be in charge. Instead of trying harder, you trust more.

You also know you're surrendered when you don't react to criticism and rush to defend yourself.

This level of maturity doesn't come easy. Surrender is hard work. In our case, it requires intense warfare against our self-centered nature.

MIDDLE SCHOOL

Let yourself fall in love.

Let yourself be heartbroken.

Let yourself learn,

then let yourself grow.

CALIFORNIA GRUNION RUN

Southern California Grunion Run 2011

OKAY! TIME TO HEAD TO THE BEACH! From March through August during high tide, small silver fish known as grunion “run” ashore by the thousands to spawn in the sand at night. Grunion runs usually last for four nights, and spawning begins at high tide each night and continues for around two hours, with the second hour usually being the most active.

SUPERMOON

      On Saturday, March 19th, 2011 the moon came closer to the earth for the first time in 18 years. The full moon reached a point called 'Lunar Perigree', which is the point in the lunar cycle when the moon is closest to Earth, making it appear bigger and brighter. The moon was just 221,566 miles away from the Earth, (the moon averages about 238,857 miles away from the Earth during its orbit).

The next supermoon will occur on November 14, 2016.

NICHOLAS SPARKS

Gee, what a hopeless romantic. 

"Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn't make you love them any less. Sometimes you love them more."
— Nicholas Sparks (The Last Song)

"You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love."
— Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook)

"We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has only happened once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it."
— Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook)

"The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected."
— Nicholas Sparks

"My daddy said, that the first time you fall in love, it changes you forever and no matter how hard you try, that feeling just never goes away."
— Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook)

"In time, the hurt began to fade and it was easier to just let it go. At least I thought it was. But in every boy I met in the next few years, I found myself looking for you, and when the feelings got too strong, I'd write you another letter. But I never sent them for fear of what I might find. By then, you'd gone on with your life and I didn't want to think about you loving someone else. I wanted to remember us like we were that summer. I didn't ever want to lose that."
— Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook)

"I fell in love with her when we were together, then fell deeper in love with her in the years we were apart."
— Nicholas Sparks (Dear John)

INSOMNIA IS A SYMPTOM

in·som·ni·a 

[in-som-nee-uh]
–noun
inability to obtain sufficient sleep, especially when chronic; difficulty in falling or staying asleep; sleeplessness.

To sail smoothly into the land of Nod, try one or all of the following:

1. Sleep in a comfortable bed. A firm mattress and pillow are best.

2. Make sure your bedroom is conducive to sleep. Most people sleep best in a room that's a bit cooler than normally desired when awake.

3. Take a bath. Think bubbles and candlelight.

4. Drink a glass of warm milk or a cup of herb tea. Milk is rich in calcium and l-tryptophan, which help your body prepare for sleep.

5. Do a relaxation exercise. Breathe deeply, listen to soothing music, or let your mind wander.

6. Do some light reading. Choose a book you can easily pick up and put down.

7. Say good night to your worries and shut the bedroom door on them. Literally. Or write them down and close the book on them; whatever it takes.

8. Make sure your last hour before bed is as peaceful as possible. Skip scary movies and save intense conversations for a better time.

9. Allow yourself to sleep -- or stay awake, if your body so chooses. In other words, don't try to force or control anything. You can't force sleep.

10. Get up after 30 minutes or so and do something you like or need to do. If you can't sleep, you may as well be productive

STROMAE

French

Alors on danse

Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Qui dit études dit travail
Qui dit taf te dit les thunes
Qui dit argent dit dépenses
Qui dit crédit dit créances
Qui dit dette te dit huissier
Oui : dit assis dans la merde
Qui dit amour dit les gosses
Dit toujours et dit divorce
Qui dit proches te dit deuil
Car les problèmes ne viennent pas seuls
Qui dit crise te dit monde, dit famine, dit Tiers-Monde
Qui dit fatigue dit réveil, encore sourd de la veille
Alors on sort pour oublier tous les problèmes
Alors on danse... (x9)
Et là tu te dis que c'est fini car pire que ça ce serait la mort.
Quand tu crois enfin que tu t'en sors,
Quand y en a plus, eh ben y en a encore !
Est-ce la zik ou les problèmes,
Les problèmes ou bien la musique ?
Ca te prend les tripes, ça te prend la tête
Et puis tu pries pour que ça s'arrête
Mais c'est ton corps, c'est pas le ciel,
Alors tu te bouches plus les oreilles
Et là tu cries encore plus fort et ça persiste...
Alors on chante
Lalalalalala, Lalalalalala,
Alors on chante
Lalalalalala, Lalalalalala
Alors on chante
Alors on chante
Et puis seulement quand c'est fini... (alors on danse)
Alors on danse (x7)
Eh ben y en a encore! (x5)

So we just dance

So we just dance

So we just dance

So we just dance

When we say study, it means work,

When we say work, it means money,

When we say money, it means spending

When we say credit, it means debt,

When we say debt, it means bailiff,

We agree to being in deep sh*t

When we say love, it means kids,

When we say forever, it means divorce.

When we say family, we say grief, because misfortune never comes alone.

When we say crisis, we talk about the world, famine and then third world.

When we say tiredness, we  talk about waking up still deaf from sleepless night

So we just go out to forget all our
problems.

So we just dance… (X9)

So you say that it’s over because the only thing worse would be death.

When you finally think you’ll make it, there’s more and more!

Ecstasy means a problem, problems or just music.

It grabs you by the guts, it takes hold of your head and then you pray for it to end.

But your body is no heaven so you block your ears even more.

And then you yell even louder and it goes on…

So we just sing

Lalalalalala, Lalalalalala,

So we just sing

Lalalalalala, Lalalalalala,

So we just sing

So we just sing

And then only when it’s over, then we dance.

So we just dance (x7)

And well, there’s still more (x5)
