Blogs about: Random

To heck with organization. Not everything fits into neat little boxes, especially not our random thoughts and feelings of the day. To avoid labels or structure can be a fantastically freeing process, technically known as stream of consciousness. You may not consider yourself the next James Joyce, but your hard-to-define, mixed-bag random ramblings certainly matter to someone.

How to be the Coolest Mom EVER (three days and counting)
Earful of Cider

Basic Instructions: 1. Drag your kids to the grocery store because no one else is around and your ten-year old’s theory about the minimum legal age that children can be left at home unsupervised isn’t fooling anyone but your six-year old, who is well aware that her sister can reach the cookies in the high cabinet if she uses the stool. 2. Find a box of this while in the baking aisle looking for Splenda packets, because coffee without sweeteners tastes like bitter death, using enough real sugar to compensate is not conducive to health, and a morning without caffeine is bitter death. 3. Ask your kids if they want to make a cake that afternoon and show them the box.  Receive one secretly-interested shrug and one excited plea for blue vanilla frosting to match, because it comes with fish-shaped sprinkle thingies—see?  See, Mom? Imagining the potential devastation blue frosting could have in the talented hands of your offspring, negotiate down to chocolate frosting and mul

Happy to be the biggest fool
Poem Elf

  I was stepping out the door into a thunderstorm with a shoebox of poems when my husband asked where I was going.   “An errand for my blog,” I said.   He looked at the weather and looked at the poems bundled in a protective garbage bag and said, “Sometimes I think you’re a little crazy.”   Usually I don’t mind being called a little crazy.  It puts me in the good company of all the kooks and eccentrics I admire and enjoy.  Years ago I heard Irish writer Edna O’Brien explain herself this way:  “I’m not what you would call the sanest woman in the universe.  In fact I might have a little extra insanity.”  She wasn’t joking in the least.   But this time, “a little crazy” sounded less like “charming and creative” and more like “pointless and irrelevant.”   Sometimes I wonder why I do what I do. Why do I go out in the rain to a coffee shop to set up a display of give-away poems that will be moved by the management to a back corner where hardly anyone sees it?  W

Murphy’s Law of Deployments
Freckles In Our Eyes

Guys, there’s this thing about when the guys leave. If thing can go wrong, they will. But only after they have left. The first time Sully left, the toilet leaked and ruined the floor and our landlord refused to fix it for months. Another time when he left, the garage door broke. The fence broke, the dishwasher broke, the washer broke. When the washer broke, that was the best. THREE weeks (love our property management company) of no clean clothes. So, after my friend Sarah texted me once the guys had left and told me her internet was out, the dog got sick from eating stuff in the yard and the lights in her garage went out, I thought maybe she’s sucked up all the bad luck for us this time. Guys, that’s Murphy’s Law of Deployments. “Oh, he’s gone? I think this will break, this will break and that will break too. Have fun wife!” So, I thought maybe I was in the clear. Then, Wednesday morning rolls around. I get in my car, open the garage door, hear

“You smell nice” It’s weird being told that… “What perfume do you use?” Heck! I don’t know. I’m pretty sure it wore off ages ago… Especially all the playing in the snowy mountain and sweating it out lol. Couldn’t help but wonder what smell I was since my nose was numb and not working. All I could smell was snow and icy wind lol.

My list of “Must Have Accessories”.
To World, From Me.

Getting ready for party? Wearing a nice dress, and that’s it! Being simple is beautiful. I am sharing with you some of my favorite accessories that are simple and will showcase your personality as that of elegance, simplicity and trendy in the meanwhile. Scarves: Make sure that the scarves that you choose this summer are light. Feather-weight fabrics will complement all your street looks. Usage of bright colors creates a cool downtown ambiance. Soft palettes will lend you a romantic feel. 2. Rings: Wear chunky rings. You can go for bold designs that will vary from floral to animal replicas. You can use rings in vivid geographical shapes. Stone rings can go with your ethnic dresses. 3. Watches: Wearing a smart time piece will complete your look. An elegant watch will add glamour to your personality. You can go for studded watches, simple and stylish watches dial watches and many more. It will be good if a little bit of technology is added to your watches like water resistance, dust resi

Things I Do On Autopilot I Really Wish I Didn’t
artfulanxiety

Does it ever shock you when you’re going about your day and all of a sudden you can’t recall moments? Scientists say that it happens a lot when we take long trips in the car; the conscious mind switches off (to save power, probably) and something else takes over. As I drove my car around today (because if I didn’t my car will fall asleep forever) a thought popped into my head: Did I lock the back door? I have done this action SO MANY TIMES that all of those moments, lets say hundreds of them, have all blurred into one big action. So now, if I think about locking the door, my brain says, “well, yes… but which day are you referring to?” So it got me thinking; what other things do I do on autopilot that I really wish I didn’t? 1. Putting my keys in a random pocket as I’m rushing out of the house. These pockets may include: pants, jacket, purse, one of the FIVE compartments of my backpack. It makes for very anxious moments when my conscious b

Farewell Monotonous Trips!
Nothing Yet

We hugged goodbye.. Don’t cry she told me .. Though, I couldn’t hold my tears.. Who ever thought a “Kamusta Ka ? ” would be the key , the gift, the answer to a plea .. To be continued.

Substance over Style
My Solace. My World.

I don’t equate beauty with some good-looking faces. It may seem too old-fashioned, but I still prefer substance than style.

No one can tell you
Amplifying specks of life

Sure, we may be an “expert” in something, but that doesn’t mean someone else can tell us how easy it is to do XYZ. I play the piano and am equally amused and annoyed when people approach me with music, telling me the level of difficulty related to my skill level along with how much time it will take me to prepare. While someone may be able to judge my skill and physical effort, there’s no gauging the emotional and mental effort…which counts for…A LOT.

Hello bloggers, Asja here. So, today I have a little list of my favorite quotes that help me stay motivated and inspired to be successful.

What you plant now, you will harvest later.’’-Og Mandino ‘‘Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.’’-Alfred A. Montapert “Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” – Joshua J. Marine “In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.” -Bill Cosby I will get back to writing and posting more as soon as I’m done with school. Always, Asja

Brain cleaner

I was sitting around drinking water from a bottle when the thought struck me, “Perhaps the universe we are experiencing now no longer exist.  It was created and destroyed in an instant. We are just experiencing the ripples in what we believe is a singular line which we call time, when in fact we are experiencing an infinite number of fractions of now instantly, which we call reality… or perhaps there is just way too much chemicals in this water.”

One song that I found when looking for some fan video years ago. Despite I kinda hate the fan video I found, I particularly love the song that attached to the fan video of some movie.

Okay so I just got my room redone and its got a cream carpet and all white walls. I can do whatever I want with it as long as it doesn’t cost more than about £250. I want my room to be unique and different so I thought that I would make a lot of the things to go in my room. I already have a few ideas but I need more. So far I’ve got: 1. Floating books 2. Glow in the dark jars 3. Old mirror and then paint the frame and stick old jewellery to it 4. Wall stickers 5. Photo collage I really need more things that me and my mum can do ourselves so please if you have any ideas comment below!!! Thank you xxx Tabby

Despicable Me
Easttown Ninewalk

My yearbook picture is somewhat of a horror and yet half-loved by the eyes who look like the same eyes in the picture. It is somewhat of an inspiration. I do look incredibly overweight, which by all means I am not, but at the same time, incredibly intelligent. Not smart, not nerdy, but intelligent. And then there’s a picture of me from 6th grade, looking awkward in my Old Navy shirt and blue jeans, with a spiky haircut(my hair, my hair!) and mismatched glasses– authentic elementary school loser. A name tag that has followed me through the years. Then again, look at the one on the left, a truly brilliant-looking student, fit for Ox U. I juxtapose the Ox U logo hovering over the picture with, well, the picture, and boy does it look great. I scribble: raspberrylips=Oxford. This looks very good to me. Whenever I’m dozing off or googling random folks, I take a look at the confident, intelligent student smiling at me with an Oxford certainty, and I stop whatever I’m d
