Ok, so I gotta be honest here. Soda sucks. On the one hand, it's freakin delicious and makes all of my food taste better. On the other hand, it's turning me into a morbidly obese doughball. I mean I can't blame soda alone, but lets be real. I drink roughly 6-8 cans of soda a day, a day! That's just plain unhealthy, and is causing my body mucho amounts of harmo. Let's look at the numbers for a sec.
One can of coke has 140 calories. Some simple math tells me that I am consuming upwards of 1100 calories a day in soda alone. That's not even counting the sugar, and caffeine. I am literally drowning myself in carbonated beverages.
The worst thing, I mean the worst thing...is that I can't control myself. That sucks. I wish I had the willpower to stop but I don't. I am like an addict. I'm obviously addicted to caffeine, but I feel like a real addict. Soda is my crack, my heroin, my coke (drug puns, oh society). I've tried to stop and failed miserably.
The reason I am blogging about this is not for attention. This isn't the plight of the fat soda addict. I just haven't addressed it before. I have always known soda was a problem area, but I just wanna let my limited readership know my opinion on myself and my choices.
Bottom Line: I hate soda, and love soda. That's all.

Night
I'm trying to blog daily for a week so this might not be very interesting.
some people may wonder why I only make blog post really late at night. It's weird because I am definitely up earlier in the day. I typically get up at noon and go to bed around 6 a.m. Yeah I don't sleep much. Don't get me wrong, I love to sleep but I am trying not to waste my entire summer. This post might have no direction...sorry.
Anyway back to the pointless, I post at night. Nothing is greater to me than a quite house and that happens at night. Well it used to. Most of my family and friends are now on my sleep schedule which makes things harder. For some reason I find blogging relaxing. I love chillin in the dining room writing long tomes about my melodramatic life and my thoughts on nothing. I forgot how much I love to write, and that makes me sad. It's like I had to find something that was missing. I could be creative...maybe, and I could be good, but I'm content just writing.
The bottom line is I like to write, and hopefully some of you like to read my stuff. I may not be able to spell very well (here's lookin at you spellcheck) and I may have very poor grammatical skills, but this is going to be a part of my life and I want to share it with the world (well mostly with my facebook peeps). I hope you guys enjoy this blog as much as I do because it's for me and you. If not, sorry bout cha..

Friends, Family and the Mad Dash
Hey everyone I have literally no update on my list of things. Sorry about that as you all know, I suck at these things. I should really blog more. I love to do it, but I just stink at commitment. It's a flaw that I would love to talk more about but I'll save that for a later post. Now on to the juicy stuff (well not really juicy, sorry I try to make it sound interesting).
This post is going to be about the end of my oh-so-fantastic summer. Can you feel the sarcasm yet? I mean this summer hasn't been terrible. It has actually been quite the opposite. What I mean to say is that I am actually enjoying being here. I am actually happy to be home and I haven't felt that way in a really long time. It's kind of sad really because my life at home is usually a countdown until I go back to school in the fall. This is where the Mad Dash part of my post comes into play. I usually sit here sad and depressed, waiting on my chance to return to my magical escape. This summer however, has been different. School is approaching very rapidly and I still have a lot to do. It's kind of scary. I need to get my act together and get started, but I am not used to feeling that way during the summer. It's kind of daunting.
Now on to the Family part of the post. Some could misconstrue this post as me bashing my family (a.k.a my aunt). This is not what I am saying, I love my family. Previously at home I have felt like there is nothing there for me. I didn't feel like I was important there. At school I am involved, I have a lot of friends and I feel like I accomplish things. At home I felt like a piece of furniture...a lamp...or a really big chair. Now I feel like I matter. People actually listen to me and value my opinion. People actually want my company. I have hung out with my cousin Tyler more this summer than ever before. My other cousin Michael has always valued my company, but we hang out a lot too. I just feel comfortable with my family, I feel more connected, I feel like I belong there. It's weird, I know because I have always belonged there. I can just tell now. It feels more real.
Friends. This is the thing that is really different about this summer. I actually have friends in Seymour, which is weird. I should have friends here, I mean I have lived here all of my life. I don't...or didn't. I have a terrible track record with my homies. One day I'm chattin' about life and living the dream, then the next thing I know it's three months later and they could be dead for all I know. I really need to be better at KIT, but I fail HARD. Anyway, back to the point, I now have friends here. Technically they are my cousin's friends but they all seem to like me. I would hang out with most of them, and do on a pretty regular basis. Some of Tyler's friends I have known for years and are like family. Michael's girlfriend Bri is the person who I have grown the closest to. She is great and we chat about a lot of random crap. It's weird because she is my cousin's girlfriend so my family sometimes gets the wrong idea, but she is my homie. Michael says we are dull because like to just sit and chit chat, but that's what we do. I feel weird mooching off of both of my cousin's people but I'm always here. Of course they are going to talk to me.
This is an extremely long post and probably should have been broken up, but this is a personal blog and I like to get personal. Maybe the next one will be shorter. I just like to write, and hopefully somebody likes to read what I have to say. Oh well, until next time.

Reality....
UPDATE: I updated the list kind of, so if you are keeping track of that feel free to check down there for some updates. I know you are trembling with excitement, but now on to the article.
So here is the thing. My cousin and I have this similar experience and I decided to share it with my lovely blog reading franz. This thing happens where it feels like reality is slipping away.....I know weird right. I can't really explain it but it's like things aren't real and I am going to break away from...life, reality, the world??? I don't really know. Sounds crazy? I know right. Anywho I thought I was the only one who experienced this weirdness until my cousin started talking about it.
I guess the thing I want to know is if other people experience things like this. If not, does everyone have some weird things that happen to them that they are terrified of telling other people. I mean I post mine on the internet for everyone to see, but before I was afraid to talk about it. I have real issues and this could be some side effect, but I'm not alone. Does everyone experience some unexplainable secret weirdness or just the crazy ones. I don't like to think I'm nutso but some of my friends and family might tell you otherwise. It's just something to think about I suppose.
In non-crazy person news, I think I am going to start a pop culture blog. I know that I have trouble keeping this one updated but I love pop culture and think I will be better at keeping it updated. This is a personal blog and I would like to have a blog that seems a tad more professional if you know what I'm sayin. Until next time.

Flashback!
UPDATE: so far so fail on my list of things to do for the summer. I am working on some of them, but have failed miserably on others. I like to pretend that my small readership is interested in this sort of thing. I do have a job interview, wish me luck!
Now onto the random blog post of the day. I just remembered project playlist. Now for some of you who participated in the Myspace era, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Project playlist is a website where you can listen to any songs you want for free, then you could post your customized playlist to Myspace. That's the only reason I used this website and I assume it is the same for most people. I haven't visited the site since first semester of my freshman year. I expected to find a bunch of awesome songs from my past, what I got instead was a flashback full of depressing and angsty music.
I have to admit that I did feel a bit of nostalgia when I ventured into my screamo/punk past, but that music just doesn't fit my life anymore. Somewhere down the line I decided unintelligible screams and pig squeals weren't my thing, and decided that pop and musical numbers were what I enjoy. I know! Big change right! When the music changed from Hawthorne Heights and Alesana to Lady Gaga and Glee I knew that I had made a full blown switcheroo. I could see why my outlook was so bleak back then (I was having a tough time). I was a high school dropout, my mom had cancer, and I had no future in sight. I don't mean to create a sob story here but it seems obvious that my taste in music reflects whats happening in my life.
I realize that this post has little to no focus, but I will continue out of self-interest. I don't want anyone to think I am dissing the music from my past, I'm not I promise. It helped me through a lot of stuff and kept me sane. I guess I didn't realize how much things change. Situations, taste in music, outlook on life, these are all things that have changed drastically in a few short years. I looked into my past and got a huge surprise. I have all of these plans for the future and now I'm not sure I will even be the same person by then. Just some food for thought I guess. Hope you enjoyed this random post. Until next time.

About that list of things
Hey imaginary viewers,
Sorry I never got around to posting that list of things I want to accomplish by the end of the summer. I wish I could say I was busy but............that would be an outright lie. I'm sorry I'll do better next time. I know my imaginary fans have been patiently waiting for my list of goals and I don't want to disappoint.
Actually I am going to disappoint. I'm sorry again (I suck at this.) I want to write a list of goals but that will require some thought. So that will be my first goal: to write a list of goals. I know it seems small, but I must take baby steps my imaginary friends. I will try to have them posted by tomorrow (not making any promises). Until then Hasta la Pasta!
