Failure to Launch?

A little while ago Moi posted a link to this article. Then a few days after that I saw this clip on a morning show.

So what's wrong with not wanting to grow up too fast? Isn't it better to know who you are and what you want before you end up in a dead end career or marriage? People are living longer than ever. If you marry someone at 20 you could be stuck with them for 80 years!!!! Even if you madly love them, 80 years is a long time.

Plus, there is the matter of finding a good job. Do you know how awful the job market is right now? How are you suppose to "grow up" if you are getting paid the same wages as a teen?

I think these "adults" are just a bit jealous of this new trend. They pushed us to take our time and figure out what we want, and now that we are taking full advantage of it they are envious.

What do you think?

Anyhow, not much is new here. I'm sad that we are at the end of August. This summer just flew by! I hope you all have a wonderful September!

Club 300

This is my 300th post!!!!!!

Crazy, right?

It's hard to believe I started this blog over 2 YEARS ago! Let's take a look at some of the things that have happened over the last two years:

• I took an internship in DC, made some great friends, explored a great city and had a blast.
• Took a couple of road trips to Pittsburgh and throughout PA with some pretty awesome people.
• Moved back to MI.
• Found a "job"
• Moved to Chicago
• Signed a lease on my very first apartment
• Fell in love with a pretty cool city

Wow, in a two year span I lived in three different states!

I still feel directionless and have no idea what life has in store for me, but keeping an open mind and an open heart I know it will all work out.

Genius or Madness

I feel very connected to this guy.

I bet the people on the flight were awful, annoying, demanding, rude and inconsiderate.

Most people are.

I don't blame him one moment for wanting to get out of that plane ASAP.







I think maybe my job is making me jaded.

I hope something new, better comes along soon...

Blinded

I've lost my glasses.

Seriously, my apartment isn't that big! Where could they be?

I've checked under the bed, by the bed, in the bathroom, in the medicine cabinet, under the couch in my makeup bag and even in the kitchen.

Good thing I wear contacts during the day.

Bewitched

• I am so jealous that Toi is on her way to London. I'm kind of glad to know she has blisters from her cute heels.
• I found a new breakfast place: Tweet. It's pretty awesome. Their quiche is to die for.
• I work a normal work with this week and will have two normal weekends this month. I am so excited.
• This is how I feel right now.
• Festivals in this town drive me crazy, mainly because it brings an insane amount of tourists to the city.
  
• Bullet formatting is my friend when I'm being lazy.
• I'm slowly learning Spanish, why didn't I take Spanish in College along with French?
  

Happy Friday! Oops, I mean Monday!

This past weekend was a bit insane, actually, my life is generally insane nowadays!

Friday I did a 25 - 30 mile bike ride through the streets of Chicago in what is called "Critical Mass". It was crazy and so much fun. I think the last time I rode a bike was 10 to 12 years ago. Boy, have I been sore the last couple days! Here's some video I've found of the craziness:


Saturday, I rode in an elevator with this guy and after a very long day of work, I met up with Aussie and hung out at Wicker Fest, which was very amusing. It was so nice to see Aussie! From there, I hopped a train to the loop and drank with my cousin until 5am.

Sunday was a VERY long day at work.

Today I am recuperating.

I need sleep, hydration and a good movie.
