Uuuugh!!

You know what annoys me more than probably anything else in the world. Grownups.
And I don't mean the ones that have their shit together.
I mean the arrogant, childish, judgemental ASSHOLES.
SO ANNOYING!!!
Am on my lunch break at work, and I didn't go to lunch with the rest of the gang because, well.. I'm annoyed as fuck and I'm not the type of person that spreads this kind of energy around.
I'll rather just hang out by my self, try and cool off and chill untill lunch is over.
I'm just not having it today.
Am SO ready for this week to be over now so I can sleep during the weekend, start on fresh on monday and then next weekend off to Stockholm.
I CAN NOT WAIT to get some space between me and this city.

So yea, I have been MIA for a while now and it's do to me working again.
Full time job won't leve me much time for blogging.
And even if it did.. I get up between 4-5am so when I get home from work.. The LAST thing I feel like doing is getting on here and telling ya'll how my day was.
Sorry.. I'm just WAY to tired for that.

Anyways, I'm gonna just, not.. cause I don't use this blog for negativity.. But we all have our days.

Ciao!

Gratefulness

It's raining outside.
It's beginning of January and It's raining.. Sweden is practically north pole, It should be about -20F (-20-25C). Something is seriously wrong with the climate.
Tho I hear North Western states in the US are in what they're calling a "polar vortex".
How do they have colder weather than we do?? Madness!

In other news, I signed the contract for my new job today.
Felt REAL good. I will be making about 5 times the money from what I do now.
MUCH needed money.
It will be very needed for my New York trip in may.
I can't wait to start work tomorrow.
This new year have been good to me so far. I'm really truly looking forward to all fun stuff that will be 2014. Looking to make AT LEAST two trips to the US, first East coast then East & West coast.
Gonna cram in FL on one of those trips also, I REALLY miss my FL family. Can not believe it's been 15 years!

Later today one of my BEST friends in the world, Elin is coming over for some quality time.
We usually try to see each other ones every week, but do to the holidays and everything I haven't seen her in almost a month now, which is NOT something I'm happy about.
Elin is one of those wonderful people that has a heart made of gold.
I've NEVER heard her say a bad word about anyone and she is SO important to me.
She keeps me strong and motivated on where I need to be and whom I need to be and I am eternally grateful to have her in my life. Truly.

Picture Update








US, Greens and Alcohol.

I'm in a good state of mind today. Well.. if you don't count the fact that I'm hungover like a baws!
I went home early last night and was in bed around 1am.
Forgot to drink water.. hence the hangover.

Other than that, I'm pretty good.
Just got off a skype session with my dear friend and old neighbor from Baltimore, Louise and her daughter Nina.
It's been ages since I last saw them and a visit to my old hometown is way over do.
Def making that trip in may when I'm back in New York, even if It's just over day.

Spent last night with my long time friend, Nadja.
We had planned a night out, but since I'm such an amateur drinker, I went home early, like I said.
Ran in to two old colleagues while out, also. Always good to see familiar faces.
This was also my last hurrah before my trip to NY/NJ/MD in may.
No more alcohol. Until then.
Also gonna cut out 90% of all animal protein from my diet. Permanently.
Only with the exception of a glass of milk every now and then, and eggs.
Gonna go all in to reach my goal weight before my trip.

Watch me.

Alcohol

Alcohol.. That popular liquid that ruined my life and so many others.
I'm a text book ACA (Aduld children of Alcoholics).
Personally I have a healthy relationship to alcohol, when it comes to my own intake.
But I am VERY uncomfortable being around other people whom I don't know, when they're drinking, or are drunk.
I just can't relax.
Alcohol scares the living *PEEEP* out of me. It ruins SO many people. Good people.
And it's SO easy to get stuck.. cause the road to alcoholism seams to be really fun.
Getting drunk, partying with friends every night.. Before you know it.. You're stuck.
I drink maybe 1-2 times every month.. Sometimes more.. But then it's birthdays and/or other celebrations on the same month.
And even when I drink.. I don't get "hammered". I HATE not being in control of myself.
I'm not a control freak.. But around alcohol, i like to be aware of my surroundings.
I don't think that's weird. Do you?

Anyways.. This is just something that was on my mind this morning.
I hope you all are doing well, and that you are looking  after yourselves.
Cause truly.. At the end of the day.. You are the only person who has to live with yourself for the rest of your life.. Be safe. And be cautious.

Textures Of Lions

Ok lovers!
You all know I love music. It's the main reason why I've studied Media and Journalism.
I want to write about music, promote music and so on.
Some of you have me on facebook, and you've seen me post about this band before, but I thought I'd give them a mention here also.
Check them out, give them a listen, and if you like them, show them some love on their facebook page LINK. Music, HERE.

Go Go Go!





Guest Entry - New Year, New Us…

Wow!! So where do I begin. 
First off, I want to thank Lindah for inviting me to write on her blog. 
I feel very honored so thank you love!
For those of you that don’t know me, my name is Lana and I live in Upstate NY, about 3 hours or so away from the BIG CITY that Lindah love so much as do I! 
There isn’t much to do here in good ol’ Albany  since in my opinion its so small and everyone knows everyone else. That’s brings me to what Im here for.
A NEW YEAR, A NEW US!! 
Yes I said it!! 2013 has been a years of ups and downs for me. More downs then ups but I like to remember the good times vs the bad times to keep me motivated and going. All you can do is learn from your experiences and move forward from them right? That’s why I cannot wait for 2014 to begin. A new year, new changes in my life and be FINALLY moving forward. 
Aaaahhh cannot wait!! This is going to be a year for me to remember, I can feel it! 
BRING ON THE CHANGES!! I’m so ready for it!

I cannot wait for March to come. Im going overseas for the first time to Stockholm, Sweden to see my BOYS. 
Yes I LOVE BSB too. Hardcore fan here!  
And of course while I'm there I will be hanging with Lindah and I cannot wait to see her. 
I met her at the Mixtape Festival back in August 2012 and I loved that girl from the moment I saw her and talked to her. She is AMAZING I must say. 
I have to admit I am kind of nervous about heading overseas for the first time but I know I will be okay. 
Ahhh!! Just thinking about it makes me super excited!!

Look at the time, its 6:41am here and I have to get ready for work. 
Wish I could write more but I have to get my butt in gear and start the day!
Happy New Year Everyone!! Here is to a better us in 2014!
