Good People

My best friend drove us to school today and on our way home she received a call that made he so happy. Last week her African Gray Tail bird flew away and for a week she was missing. My friend put up a sign, letting people know what the bird looks like and her contact information. She was driving and I answered the call and it was a woman who said that the nearby high school staff had an African Grey tail. So she drove to the high school and there was her bird. My friend had tear in her eyes. The bird is truly amazing and I can see why my friend was so sad. The point is that there are good people out there. The anonymous person who mailed back my wallet and now a person who held the bird and took care of it until my friends was reached. Yes the bird could have flown away or the people could have kept it, but the bird did not fly away and the woman who took care of the bird gave it back. You just have to be patient and wait until you find the good in people. We all live hectic lives and most people only care about themselves but there a a select few who go above and beyond to help others out. No need for a picture today. Just... :)

Music

I cannot express enough how much music is a huge part of my life. I have such a wide range of types and all comes in handy according to the day I'm having. When I workout at the gym, I ALWAYS have my Ipod on me. The songs, especially the high paced, guitar singles are the best for running and lifting weights. I have gone through 5 Ipods in the last three years only because music helps me get through my workout. I will not go to the gym without my Ipod.
Heavy Metal music is perfect if you are mad and had a bad day. Just blast on a heavy metal song and rock out to it. Relieves all your stress.
Pop/alternative is wonderful if you have had a great day and are just happy. Gets you in a great mood and lifts you spirits even higher.

There are songs out there that one can relate to. They have such awesome meanings that it becomes one of our favorite hits. Music becomes such a huge part of your life, at least mine. If there is one day where I do not listen to music, my day is done for. I will have failed at life that day! There are songs that get you in a great mood now matter how down you are. The point/lesson for today: Music will always be here and there a different types to fit everyone's needs. Music is my life and could not function without it. So blast your favorite tunes and sing as loud as you must! You will feel so much better ;)

Friday Ride-Day!

I finally went out riding today. Only a small, 10 mile loop but still it was epic!
Here is the starting point. As you see, my car has a flat back space where i just toss in my bike and go!


My bike up close and my awesome helmet!
I love being outdoors and today's ride made me so happy. I can see the scenery up close and personal all while on two wheels!

I tried to master the art of riding and taking a photo at the same time..Worked out sort of! haha
Today was awesome to ride. The weather was perfect and everyone such as walkers and other cyclists waved as we went by each other. Tomorrow will be my next adventure on the bike!

Tattle Telling

Since I work with kids, I see tattling everyday and I'm almost use to it. I tell the kids, "worry about yourself. Tattling does not make friends." They never tattle again. Never would I have thought that I would see tattling in college. My best friend and I were in math class, sharing a book and talking softly about the homework. I guess two people in front of us did not like it so you know what they did? During the break, they told on us to the teacher saying how rude and loud we were being. My math professor, an ancient old man is obviously old-school and told my friend and I to separate. REALLY?! These were two 20+ year old students who told on us. I could not believe it. College is really starting to piss me off now. The two students could have told us to pipe down and of course we would have listened to them. Now they lost all my respect to them and I won't forget this!

Death

My Best friends grandpa died on Monday and I knew it took a toll on him even though he did not show it. Him and I skipped school yesterday, him to be with family and I, well I just did not want to go without him! Anyways I have yet to experience a death in my family and friends. I was wrong. My mom's best friend passed away in 2006 and that took a toll on me. She was an amazing person, always smiling and always putting herself before others. Cancer took her away from this world :(
I sit here and wonder what death is like be it by accident or on purpose. Everyday people die from diseases or injuries. They leave behind others forever.
We all have to be careful and take caution when we are out in this world. Be healthy and always be aware of your surroundings. You never know, you could be the healthiest person in the world and all of a sudden your a dead man because a car hit you. We never know when our time will come that is why we must always live life to it's fullest and live each day like it is our last. This goes out to all of you who have lost someone close to you. Rest assured that they are in a better place, free of worry and pain.

Pretty Much

Yesterday was such a chill day at home. I did nothing but homework, sleep, and play video games! So I got too lazy and didn't post a blog. Sorry to those who actually read!
Well today was alright. Tired but I'm hanging in there. Riding my bike this weekend for sure! Hopefully the weather is nice out!! Well there is really not much to say tonight other than I need to put more pictures pertaining to my posts!!!
Maybe then it will keep you guys interested!

Spinning

When the weather is cold, I like to take a break from riding outside until it warms up again! I'm a wuss when it comes to being cold. Normally at the gym, I spin on one of the bikes at my own pace with nobody telling me what to do. So this morning I decided to take a spin class. I figured why not? BOY I WAS DYING! You see when I go for rides, I go alone sadly haha but I have no one to keep up with or no one to give me motivation. I do pretty well up hills and inclines and keep a pace of about 14-15 mph on the flats. Spinning kicked my ass! I know it is way different so I'm glad I got to experience it for the first time. Later I will be sore and tired!
I have been cycling now for almost eight months, still a newb so when the cold weather comes, I stay away from the outdoor riding. I do not have the proper clothing for riding in cold weather! I will later on. As of now, I'm doing just fine switching up things. :D
