Because the world is round, it turns me on

The colors around me are crazy on point around me. The sky is so blue and the clouds are so white. The skyline looks so intense it's almost unreal. Who knew Newark could be so beautiful.

Today has been a day just like any other so far. My father has gone to CT to look into yet another one of his random business ventures so it will be myself against the wolves until he returns. Things haven't been too bad at home lately though, so hopefully it will be smooth sailing until tomorrow. I leave you with this poem ( I didn't write it, the writers of the O.C. did)

I wish I was a mermaid
And could swim with all the fish.
A shiny tail and seashells,
That would be my wish.

Peace, Love and Sunny Skies my darlings.

When everything's meant to be broken, I just want you to know who I am...

Today was Max Loverboy Hahlbeck's 21st birthday. What started out as 3 people drinking at the local bar, turned into about 14 of us just getting reckless. although things got a little out of hand (for reasons I can't go into), this was one of the best nights I've had in almost a year. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I love my friends.

Peace, Love and Drunken Mayhem my darlings.

Because the wind is high, it blows my mind

It's the last Sunday before finals and more than anything I want an adventure. I imbue this day with laughter. there's something about the sunshine baby.

Peace, Love and Mischief my darlings!

That's what you get when you let your heart win...

... Or when you let boredom get the best of you. Walking through a beauty supply store with cash in my pocket and a day with no plans usually does not end well for me. I don't know if any of you were around for bizarro blonde fest 09... so here is a brief recap.

Basically I was trying to be cute by adding some blonde highlights to my extensions. End result, a horrible blonde ring circling my head... On my natural hair, plus the added perk of having yellow hands for 10 days.

Today my thoughts were purple.... I bought some dye, locked myself in my room and hoped for the best.

WELL, the gods must have been smiling down on me today. Either that or the stars must have been aligned ever so nicely, because I know have subtly adorable magenta highlights and only slightly pink hands.

It totally makes up for my otherwise event free day.

I would post a picture... But the camera on my phone is temporarily out of commission (at least I hope it's temporary). I'll try again later.

Peace, Love and Magenta highlights my darlings!

Me, Myself and Time

So I know this movie is about 10 years old, but in my defense I only just saw it a few months ago. The point is, I am crazy obsessed with the really real drama that is Gladiator. I watch it EVERY SINGLE TIME it comes on the tele. Besides the drama and Joaquin Phoenix's ridiculous antics it features just another rare example of a perfect score.

But you really can't expect anything less from Hans Zimmer. The man is genius I tell you. Lisa Gerrard's hauntingly beautiful vocals just and to the complex beauty of Zimmer's composition. It is crazy how one little piece of music can change your life.

If you haven't already heard it, or don't understand what I am talking about I strongly suggest you all listen to "Now We Are Free" from the soundtrack.

It will rock your world.

Peace, Love and Music my darlings.

Summer breeze makes me feel fineee

Working on my fitness is KILLING my bod. Summer break starts in like 2 weeks and I need to find a summer job. Immediately. Preferably an awesome one... Any suggestions? If you know of anything in the tri state area let me know. I'm so sick of working retail but beggars can't be picky at this point. That's all for now. Goodnight mittens in the chair. Goodnight people everywhere.
