Bartender, please...

So today was rather blahhh. I did the usual; Whittier, work, home.

I could use a stiff drink, however.

I did go out to eat with my mother tonight. I don't give her enough credit for all that she does for me and my brother and sister. After losing her father and going through a gnarly divorce in the past year, I hope that 2010 welcomes her with open arms.

I took some photos of my apartment so here they are!

So yeah. Just a few. But I think you can tell that it's quite a place! It reflects my personality pretty well and I'll be sad to bid it adieu.

However, I need to keep thinking positively and open up to new and exciting experiences that will come to me. How am I ever supposed to learn and grow if I deny myself the opportunities to fail, succeed, explore, etc...

To end: an excerpt from one of my favorite poets (if you don't know, I'm pretty infatuated with poetry and hope to call myself a poet someday).

"The sunlight in a yellow plaque upon the varnished floor

is full of a song

inflated to fifty pounds pressure

at the faucet of June that rings the triangle of the air

pulling at the anemones in Persephone's cow pasture"

- William Carlos Williams
