Wine Tasting

I went to a wine tasting yesterday, and they had an Ed Hardly wine, needless to say it was embarrassing.  I could feel my bumpit developing with each sip. SMH.

But I can't complain when I walked the Arctic Monkeys were playing.

I really like this song off their Suck it and See Album :D

Chow

Feeling more than a nerve...

It's getting difficult lately.  

Questioning who I am, what I stand for, what I am going to do.  

But it's the memories, people, and legacies of others that have kept me going.  

I graduate in less than two weeks and iI'm moving at million miles a millisecond.

Luckily I have been blessed with amazing people in life.

My gem of a bird wrote me a little ditty:

 Most unique misunderstood elephantine person that reinforces my territorial attitude over a clean home & best person to have met randomly in a coffeeshop apartment under a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. [it was meant to be]

And these are my scribbles to him:

To my big spoon: there are no specific words that can describe our relationship it can only be explained through our memories, movements, and moments of meeting.  You were lead to me and with the click of a finger we became friends.  Next, I found you on my door step and before you know it we were doing "Gwenth Paltros", eating/sleeping with chimuth,  running in the morning sunlight, selling our muffins, fair-walking, handing off batons, "spring cleaning" more than just our apartments, and forced to spoon on a too small,  squeaky, pull out couch "beyd" ha ha ha. :D  

Thank for you being a friend, thank you for being a Sanii Sister. 

"COME ON LAAAAADY"

This song makes me eager to move into the future.

Middle Brother

Composed of three great singers.

I'm awful just awful..

At blogging lately because it's crunch time.  I have been working like a mad woman spending every moment writing in notebooks and sitting in dark corners.  To be truthful it's been an awful couple of weeks... with the exception of going to the Cage the Elephant show and going to the "ALL YOU CAN EAT SECTION" of the D-backs Philies game (well that kinda sucked considering I am on an ALL YOU CAN'T EAT diet.  But up to speed: Study, work sing, run, study, worry sing, run  study, study, study, run, run cry, run, swim work and thats about it.

Good thing is graduation is coming soon and I can start up all my hobbies again and have time for myself and do things like take pictures as show below, Enjoy ;): 

Dance between a beautiful sun and a small kitchen. 

I ALWAYS blink!

Nerd.

Get'em between the legs.

We dance a lot.

She's a perfect 10.

We're lots of fun.

One for old times sake

And I recommend:

He kinds of sounds like Cartman singing but its really grows on you.

This blog is for you Jared Y

Tonight was one of the best fashion shows my buddy Jared Y has done!  

Everyone was amazing and his story inspires me.  

I remember we met freshmen year of college, he was the only person that was nice and didn't mind that I enjoyed having my nose in a book and my head in the clouds.

 Since then he has been working on his art and clothing line (OXDX) and thus far has made a name for himself.  

After the Show.

I believe in him more than I believe in any one else in the world and have the utmost respect for him because he was able to see a dream and fashion a path to make it a reality.

Tonight was only the tip of the iceberg Jared, I know that you will leap mountains and sail through the sky!  

So tonight this blog is for you Jared Y.

And I'm not only saying that because my face is on your shirt :D

After Show Make up and Hair Mess.

Think.Dream.Believe.

Because no one else will.

And to him I see a dreamer,

and to him I witness a story,

and by him I see light,

and in him I see his fight.

In honor of him:

You've Got What I Need...

So lately I feel like I've been missing something, and quite frankly I am surprised I've never thought of this before.  I enjoy going to shows and bustin' out every and ANY moves I have, but I always have a friend who I drag with me but never lets loose on the dance floor (If you have ever gone to a concert with me I'm probably referring to you. Just sayin.)  So I decided I am now accepting applications for a show/dance buddy.  If you are between the ages of 18 and 99 and  think you have what it takes please review the following video, these dances are done habitually within the parameters my humble apartment and local grocery store.  

Mastery of each dance is required for application. :D

For the advanced here are some more routines that are routine in my life:

If you think you have what it takes please post your name and dance emphasis.

Haha I think everyone I know has at least 1 memory about 1 dance in these videos involving me. haha

Enjoy!

I must dance now,

BG

OH happy day...

Yay I'm back in business; I got my computer back.  The good news is the obvious, but the bad news is everything is wiped.  Starting from scratch isn't my idea of fun but thank goodness for facebook and my blog. This had got to be a sign that things are turning around.

Next week I will be going to California to run the Ragnar So Cal.  I'm getting pretty nervous and tired from running 2-3 times a day.  I don't know what I put myself through these things.  I have this theory that I am not quite an adrenaline junkie, but I'm a girl that gets bored doing that same thing for too long.  I think that's why I've always pushed myself to do things that are not conventional: singing the national anthem at rodeos as a child, wrestling when I gave up my hopes of playing basketball, and now I've decided to tackle a 202 mile relay.  I've also been thinking that I might start playing the piano again to help my guitar skills, but we'll how this goes.

In other news graduation is just around the corner.  

I decided for my graduation I am going to ask for a few key things:

1. A Camera

2. A LARGE external hard drive

3. Itunes music

4. Frequent Flyer Miles

5. Voice/Piano/Guitar/Violin lessons

I hope things start to propell in a positive directions, so I can call these my:

GOLDEN YEARS

David Bowie

I feel like I have been in a David Bowie kind of mood lately.  

It kind of scares me... in a good way.

And one more

Let's Go Surfing

The Drums

This is how I hope to look running during my night run during Ragnar

High Five and Handwaves,

When I Grow Up...

I will be great

When I grow up I will walk on my hands, dance on my feet, and skip with my heart.

When I grow up I will write about when I grow up.

A True Autobiography

An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away.

I've had 1000s of adventures since my last post... sadly I can't update my blog about it because I dropped my 1500 dollar Mac... all those days of scrubbing my boss' floor with a toothbrush, handwashing her clothing, and compiling her daily medicine down the drain.  Well at least untill tomorrow, I hope * fingers crossed.  Damnit I feel sick with out my apple!  But what has been getting me through the day:

Pumped Up Kicks

Jerrryyy Spring Break!

So it's been really good since spring break has started.  After exams I went into a deep coma, and woke up a headed home.  The next day I had a race in the desert.  It was a bit disastrous but none the less it was amazing.  Initially I was supposed to run a 3 man 1/2 marathon relay but my team dropped out so I signed up for a 10k.  Like usual I was running around and not paying attention which resulted in a late start, well not so much late but rather unstretch, unwarmed, up, un-everything!  The whistle blew and my friend and I started running and immediately we were in front of the pack.  It was kind of strange being so far ahead, but I know it was a mistake when we past that first mile mark at 6:35!  She was running the relay so that was good, but I still have 5 more miles to go.  The second and part of the third mile came and went without any hesitation.  By the third mile I saw a sign that said 10K turn around, so I went to turn around but the woman standing there told me to keep going!  I was just confused colleen! 

Trying to fundraise.

 I asked three times in the midst of running by and she continued to insist it was the right way.  Determined to win and break my last time I kept going.  Then I saw the second leg station I was getting really worried because we were no where near where the start was.  So i kept going, 4 and 5 went by.  I saw the 6 mile mark with ballon so I ran as hard as I could full stride billy mills style, but when I got to the end and thought I was the winner, I found out the only thing I won were rights to a Totsie roll and a pack of salt.  Apparently the nonsensical woman at the sign was wrong and put me on the marathon track!  REALLY REALLY?  The guys at the station said "your doing great look what place your in, there are only 5 runners ahead of you!" I don't think he understood how exhausted I was, but because it was in the middle of the desert I had to keep going, at least until I could find life again.  I felt like Chevy Chase in National Lampoo's Vacation!  I finally made it to the next stop, the whole way thinking of ways to give that woman a piece of my mind.  Thankfully I never saw her again and after 10 miles I got a ride back.  But officially my time was the fastest but they are still debating if I am the winner... I'll let you know how it goes.

Later on I also had a chance to hang out with some old/new friends, which was fun.  We played basketball and danced a bit.  It was interesting because I rarely get a chance to let my hair down and enjoy my time.  Usually my head is in a book or glued to my notes.  It was super fun, it was a night of scheming, revenge, trickery, embarrassment, denial, and smelly couches... it was a night of AWESOME-NESS.  The next day I went to the PBR and drooled all over cowboys! 

My nephew with 4 of the Brazilians.  I would let them hold me like that.

 My dad always says that if I were a guy I would have been an amazing athlete, probably would have continued to play basketball in college, or would have been a professional bull rider.  Makes me wonder sometimes, now I'm just a scientist that has to clean homes for a living and just drool over the professional athletes... amazing what the difference of 1 chromosome.  But enough about genes my Biochem of Nucleic Acids exam is over!  Well its been only day 2 of Spring Break, I'll keep you all informed of what's happening next.

Amusing thought:

I sometimes have the mindset of both Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Well one more thing.  To add to the merriment of the break thus, here is the trailer for: 

Sound track of 

Submarine

The EP produced by Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys! 

I absolutely am inthralled by his talents as a musician.

Also

Adele

Rolling in the Deep

Her voice amazes me, if I could have anyone in the world's voice it would be hers.

Boost in my Goose.

"Here I go again on my own..."

Well life has thrown many punches, but like a fighter I am taking the punches. 

 I made some very big choices in my life recently after I met with my family.

 I've decided to toss my map out the window and withdraw my all my applications from graduate school.  

I'll be moving home but I will be focusing on studying for the MCAT and a very special project you won't know about for quite sometime-- but be excited for me.  Any tears that my have fallen are only ones of joy :D

These days my heart is restless and my mind is curious.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

In other news I decided to work on my balance and flexibility.  So I decided to do this move:

Just remember your head is holding you up, and don't try to move it because you might just fall on your coffee table and bleed for a few days.  Then you have to explain to everyone and anyone why you have a giant bandaid on top of a lumped bruise, but it does make for a good laugh :D.

Then this week was midterms week and well I did my best to study, but I couldn't do it on my own.  So I resorted to:

BAD idea.  My heart was racing I slept, not well, for 1 hour and crashed like a 6 chubby kids on a bicycle. I thought my heart was going to swell and burst; I could see my chest move up and down.  What I learned from this, don't trust anything with a rooster on it, and maybe if you can't handle 1/2 a tylenol don't take three energy supplements.

I met these people at school

I

Rick Fox, Diana Taurasi, and Kurt Warner.  I was hoping to find someone young and single so I wouldn't have to slave away.

And the BIGGER NEWS PIECES

My little sister got into The University Of Arizona!  I hope the best of luck to her, and lots of love.  She will do great things, and if I ever get jealous I can just squish her head.

AND...........

My Best friend is Pregant!!!!

We think it's a girl, but we shall see.  If you want to follow her "SOON TO BE TRENDY HIPSTER BLOG" Here you go!

So I'll be counting down the days

And for your musical adventures:

Graffiti6

Example of UPs and DOWNs.

Down: I got hit by a car today, nothing serious.  Point stop driving when traffic stops and don't text while driving!

Up: Arctic Monkeys Song Brick By Brick 

just came out!

I really love the sound, very DOORS "Hello I love You" sound. Plus I probably could dance like EDIE SEDGWICK to this song.

Fun Fact: I am about 1 inch away from standing on my hands and having my feet touch my head, meaning my dreams of joining the circus is possible.

Today is a beautiful day, walk on your hands,

Love BG

Large and in charge...

is how I've been feeling!  But I'm getting excited about graduation.  My mom started making me a traditional dress but I told her I didn't like it so she said, "good it's not for you anyway."  So we have started searching for inspiration.  And I have found it!

I love this color and look for this dress.  It's from the Alberta Ferretti Fall 2011 collection!

I'm super picky so I'm glad I at least found inspiration!

And here is a new artist I've been pretty excited about too!

Hayes Carll: KMAG YOYO

and I just have to share this because I'm a sucker for covers, and this is one of my favorite songs

Hayes Carll: King of the Road (Cover)

In other news I think I did good on my biostatistics exam and some made told me I had nice legs (idk how i feel about the leg part).
