I resent Facebook’s remarks, or Can you believe I haven’t blogged about baseball?

March 28, 2008 - Friday

I know that changing anything on Facebook or MySpace means that everyone knows about it. Isn’t that the point of being involved in online social networking? Obviously it gets a little tough explaining a large change in your life to everyone you know, so I actually appreciate these little features. Britni has changed her song…again. Ben posted more photos of himself tempting death while in the miserable cold.

What I want to know is: Why is Facebook putting a little broken heart next to my "Becca has changed her status to single." Now I don’t want to get into whether or not I’m broken-hearted. That’s certainly a silly discussion. The last thing I really want to see from a website is a comment on my life. Can’t it just be objective?

I guess I will have to take it a little less seriously, because life is really too short to let something like that affect you. And plus, baseball starts in March this year!

My favorite holiday has always been Easter

March 23, 2008 - Sunday

I volunteered to serve homeless people and displaced families Easter dinner today. I got goosebumps a million times.
Little kids with Easter baskets, decorating eggs, pics with the Easter Bunny (I’m still somewhat scared of him/it). Heaping plates of food. Thank yous over and over. People coming together on their holiday to give someone else a better holiday. Wow I could get used to this. I think an addiction is festering.
I have been cultivating this optimistic attitude for awhile now. I used to be a professional pessimist--I could find the bad part of anything, even a Twins game! Sick I know. Waking up is a miracle. Clean water kicks ass. I love my kitchen. I have 600 square feet of space for myself and my cat. I could read for years with all the books I own. Plants love to grow for me. Trees accept my hugs with grace. (As if it is possible for a tree to do anything without grace!
In seeking a goal that I want to work toward everyday but can never actually achieve, I think I may have gotten closer to finding it today with the Easter Miracle. And that makes for a damn good day.

TGI F*cking F! or "It Only Tuesday"

February 22, 2008 - Friday

Current mood: bouncy

Today is Friday. It is the daymost 9-to-5ers dream about all week long. I got home at 10:30 pm tonight after a long day to chat with my roomies. We were pretty excited because we all have the night off and "What should we do?" Well, by the time I got home, one of my roomies was sleeping and the other was well on her way. We sat there talking about how sad we were. But really, who cares right?

I propose that we act like every day is the same. Some of those days we have more obligations than others. If that were the case, maybe we would be more happy about life. I don't want to feel obligated to go out and have a good time just because it's Friday! Maybe I want to chill and go to bed at 11. Maybe I want to stay up and party until 3am on a Tuesday. What? Of course, I would never do that because I have to work in the morning! I wonder what would happen if I started treating every day with the same respect. Either I would be hungover at work or waking up at 6am all weekend. Can't I find the happy meduim?
