Fridays @ MindSay

So this was a bit of a blah week for me.

 

I have been procrastinating about doing a whole lot of things.  I have also noticed that I have been feeling way more creative now that I am off of my medicine.  Back to the world of middle of the night drawing/painting/writing poetry that I thought I lost years ago.  I was worried that I wasn't a creative person anymore...  I missed the feeling of lying in my bed not being able to sleep because there is something stuck in my brain that I have to get out, and then running out to a pad of paper and putting it all out there.

 

Sometimes the things that are stuck in my brain tend to look weird to other people, but it is all a huge part of ME and how I learned to cope.  So I am happy to have found that side of myself again.

 

The creative me has sort of blocked the constructive me from accomplishing things though, so I have to try to get some concrete things accomplished this weekend.  (like sending out wedding thank you notes... can't believe I haven't done that yet)

 

I also have to start planning this years fundraiser, it will be the fifth one this year, can't even believe it.  I think I am intentionally putting this off to protect myself, but if it is going to be in October I have to get on the ball now.

 

There is absolutely nothing interesting in this entry... I think my brain just sort of threw up on the screen... whatever, at least I am still adorable! :)

but it has always seemed to me, that there is just something immensely SACRED about Friday nights...


...as the sun goes down on the sleepy little towns.

    I know some of you are going to be angry, seeing as you were probably hoping for me to talk about Seinfeld, so I apologize, even though I'm probably going to talk about it eventually.
    Now, I know I should have a topic, but I don't. I'm just gonna rant. It's fun: You get to vent, say random shit, and be totally inappropriate! People will flame me for it though, but hey, that's 3 pros to 1 con.
    So my computer's mouse is out of juice. I hate that. It's a wireless and ball-less (I know what you thought when I said that) mouse. It's nice when you don't need to worry about cleaning the ball chamber (again, I know what you thought when I said that) or giving the wire space to move.
    But it can be a set back: when it runs low, it will turn itself off whenever it's not in use every 5 seconds; you need to press a little button on the bottom of it to turn it back on. And I'm lazy, so I'm not going to replace the battery until it's fully empty. Stupid piece of crap...
    In other news, my school's annual fund raiser named "The Drive" it up and running. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, meaning all of you, it's technically our Mid-Winter break. We have half-days for a week, with no homework of tests.
    Every day ends with an all school assembly where we're entertained and enticed to sell $1 tickets to everyone we can get. If I sell enough, I could win stuff like a Zune, or, if I was lucky enough, get all the money I got from people back. So if I sold $500, I win $500. In actuality, I never get past $210, so yeah.
    For those who don't win fabulous prizes, if the whole school sells enough, we start getting Fridays off. Yeah, 4 day weeks and 3 day week-ends (I wish Sprint incorporated this into my cell phone plan).
    As for what happens during the half-days, we go to homeroom and watch movies, etc. for 30 minutes before we go to our classes. But my homeroom always watches Seinfeld, so it's not really a big change (HA! I told you I would mention it).
     But this is a double edged sword: Our teachers need to squeeze in more information into 4 days instead of 5.  We usually get at least 10 Fridays off. So they last to the end of the school year. Yay!
    Any way, my mp3 player is almost dead. It's 512mb piece of crap, and I'm glad that it's approaching the Styx. Because it'll get me an excuse to buy a Zune. Sure, I could just buy one, but my parents would accuse me of wasting my money...blah blah blah.
    My guild in Guild Wars is dead. My sister and I are running the remaining 4 members of it on 1 account....Which we barely have time to get on anyway. We're hoping that people will recruit others because we made them all officers now and it will grow without much of our effort.
    I'm considering getting a new game for my DS, but I don't know which one to get. I want Mega Man ZX, Final Fantasy III, or Castlevania Portal of Ruin, or Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow but my chances of getting any of them are pretty slim because my parents will admonish me for buying a game that I won't have time for....That's what an emulator is for. Right?

    Well for those of you who were patient enough to read the torrent of thoughts I've been wanting to vent, I thank you and would like to remind you that Valentines Day is only 3 days away (so your girlfriend/wife doesn't yell at you). Laterz.
   

Yet another Friday rolls around and it has been one busy, fast week. I can hardly believe the time has flown so fast, but that is the odd thing about time isn't it. It's not really as linear as I assume it to be, sometimes fast, sometimes painfully slow, interesting how it works.

 

I look forward to another weekend I'll be able to have down time and time to spend all by myself. No overtime booked, no extra shifts, no huge engagements. What bliss, 2 weekends in a row like this, it is a rare luxury and I am loving it.

 

On Friday afternoons I do a 1 1/2 hour Acupuncture session for my clients. It is Auricular Acupuncture, which means the points are in the ear. Five tiny needled placed precisely at the point where the Meridian leads to specific organs and the central nervous system. It results in a deep meditative state that relaxes the body, removes stress from the mind, detox's the body both physically and emotionally, and leaves one feeling rested, relaxed and ready to cope with the world. We treat about 2500 people a month with this and it helps people to do everything from stopping heroine and cocaine use, to quitting smoking and helping with migraines. It helped my children's asthma so much that they have not used medication in 3 years. It costs less than one dollar per person per treatment. It's a wonderful way to start a weekend and I love being able to provide it for s many.

 

Well I am off to the bank to co-sign a loan for a nephew. Take care.

 

Live Free, Breathe Deep.

Hey all, I'm bored. There is nothing to do at all! I have a doctors appointment Friday, unfortunatley. The needs of this appointment will remain unsaid. Because I know it would be too much information if I was to tell you. =) Also, I have a field trip to the High School Friday, to the Vo Tech. Center. To see what electives I can take for 10th grade. And Monday, I have to stay after school till like 8...I take Drama, and I have a monologue I have to perform in from of all students in Drama, and parents, as everyone does.

Today in Drama we go to watch "Babe"..score. And we go to have a paper ball fight. Which was realllllly fun. I was pegging Mr. Follett in the head! Ha, but for now. I shall be going. I'll post another entry soon, I promise.

 

That is all,

I love Brandon.
