I am quite proud of me self...
I told myself that back in March, I was going to read more books and so far, I have kept my promise. I haven’t always finished or even started every book that I have taken out of the library, but I make an effort to at least try. Sometimes, I get so excited in the prospect of reading something I never read before that I get all caught up and get too many books at once. But this is about...

“There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure...”

Forgot my lesson. Don't worry, I found it.
I can can relate and understand where she is coming from. Preach on, sista.

About two months ago, one of my best friends asked me “What the fuck is wrong with you? Johanna, you’ve changed so much…” After he explained it, I found the lesson that I knew all along:
Nobody ever wants to admit this but, one of the most difficult things in life is being honest to yourself. We create...
Football - Soccer Jersey Swap Tradition at FIFA... →
brain-food:
Jersey exchanges do not take place in hockey, baseball or basketball but they do in soccer. It’s a friendly part of a game.
The tradition of players exchanging football/soccer jerseys after a game has been a part of the game for 80 years. FIFA says this friendly shirt swap began after a 1931 match between, of all nations, intense rivals France and England. France did not then...
The Great Escape
[This is a continuation of One (Wo)Man Firing Squad, which can be found here http://aa25.tumblr.com/post/701139008/the-one-wo-man-firing-squad]
It had been 10 years since I had set foot on that Island.
But felt like it was my first time there. My mother and I had set our flight for the night, as to avoid the infamous Caribbean heat.
But had forgotten about the also infamous Caribbean humidity...
Breaking Away.
Sometimes I find it difficult for myself for wanting to stay around here. Your constant negativity and nagging just gets annoying and disheartens me. I grow frustrated in my own life and yet you never ask me how I am feeling or if anything is the matter. You just assume that just because I don’t have anything going on, on the outside, that theres nothing going on in the inside. Just because...
The One (Wo)Man Firing Squad
She was the best thing that had happened to me.
The only real significant event or person, up to this point in my twenties.
Next to my graduation from college, which had happened five days prior to the events that were going to unfold. Everything was mainly planned, but our relationship…It was accidental.
But the words leaving her mouth, weren’t.
They were concise and...
A Quick Little Flight (To the Future)
Sometimes, I catch myself thinking about the future. A future where I am no longer responsible for just my self, but for a little being that I had brought into the world with young woman, who I would consider the most beautiful woman world. Though I have not met her yet, but she is out there. I have these thoughts and feelings of having a child and family of my own one day. I feel like that may...

you sure do ask a lot of questions. →
If, one day, you find yourself with the heavy choice to either stay or go, always go. If, one day, you wake up in the same room you’ve been sleeping in every single day for the past three hundred days and you look around and there is nothing there for you to learn from any longer, go. You don’t…

I just need some time.
Ive been out of it for about two weeks or so. I have gradually kind of lost interest, motivation and energy getting a bit more depressed as days pass. I find myself also becoming more recluse as time passes. I try not to let things get to me too much, but sometimes its hard with how my current circumstances are. I know I have control to change some things, but not everything. Im tired of being...
Looking For Love....
Love has been on my mind lately and there have been a lot of thoughts swirling around but pretty much, Shanie Love has pretty much summed up most of my feelings on it at the moment. Sometimes, I feel like just letting it come to you is so hard to do, especially when you know you have so much to offer to someone. But also like Shanie, Ive been told just wait for it and it will come, so Im letting...
Free For A While.
Yesterday was such a great day. Nothing particularly special happened, but I think thats what made it so special to me. I planted myself on a bench in Central Park near 95th Street and Madison Avenue. It was like a cul de sac of benches surrounded by grass and trees with a statue of Thor right in the middle of it all. I was sheltered by the trees which had some breaks in them and allowed the sun...

Yeah...This Aint Workin' Fo' Me.
Im fucking up here. In my pursuit to expand my reading horizons, Ive gotten over my head. I have a list of books and authors I want to read, but in my excitement, I began to over indulge and unfortunately prematurely. I wanted to read all of it at once. Murakami, Orwell, Tolkien, Steinbeck, Palahnuik, Bradbury. A gangbang of great books. Only to end up fucked. Two months of doing shit the wrong...
