burn,

today i woke up, stared at my ceiling for a few minutes before feeling around the bed for my blackberry and beginning my technological tie to the day. At some point in the fingertips-on-bedspread shuffle, i kinda paused and thought.... "why bother?" so i laid there a while longer before really shutting SNOOZE off once again and checking my phone0- getting up to start the random day ahead of me... 
i headed out to work, did some SWAG, then braved the rain to get home to change before charging out to yoga.. a much needed class- it's been far toooooo long since i've set foot in any kind of workout atmosphere (i think the east coast of the island was the last time, where i biked and ran til i thought i'd pass out)...
then i kinda wandered downtown for a while... went to borders where my usual gang at coffee bean WERENT working for once, got my regular chai latte and sat down in the darkest corner with my book- 3rd book i've finished this week (the wednesday letters, the pact, and the virgin suicides)... feels good to be reading so much lately... been doing a lot of writing too- who knows where it comes from?
wandered a little more, bought some salt 'n' vinegar chips, a gingerale, and some cinnamon butter shortbread star cookies (AMAZING), then came home to change back into pjs and just.... sit. lounge. drink in the silence. make dinner. watch tv. zone out. eat cookies. drink a little white wine. laugh out loud to myself. and wonder where in the world did i leave my.......


life's a funny thing isn't it?


when you've got nothing left to burn
you have to set yourself on fire.

Came across your blog. It really is funny how reliant we've become of technology. I always freak out whenever I forget my phone at home...reading your blog makes me want to leave it at home for once! hehe :)

Love your view on the world. Love how you want to make the whole world smile :) Love how down to earth you are. What does one have to do to be your friend?? Coming back to the States anytime soon?

Anyway, always loved you since Prisana. Stay true to yourself! Love :)
