What Gets My Juices Going

For the most part I like to think of myself as a friendly, relatively easy going (with the exception of germy places i.e public restrooms or sketchy bars) person. But there are a couple of things that really get me and just make me kind of mad. Here they are listed below in no particular order...


1. Old people driving. I mean, don't get me wrong I like old people...well nice old people. Some of them are just mean and judgy. But old people really should not be driving. It's not their fault, but they either drive so slow they are putting others in danger, or they don't actually know what they are doing. Today for example, I almost got hit by a little old man driving a car. When I honked (lightly) he didn't he seem phased, I'm thinking it was because he couldn't actually hear me.

2. Tim Tebow. Yes, the Jesus loving quarterback really really gets my juices going. I had nothing against the Denver Broncos before he came along. To be honest they weren't even on my radar since they are a team from out West and I didn't have to worry about how their season would affect the Jets. But I am so sick of Tim Tebow and all his praise. The whole I am anti-abortion thing really doesn't help his case either.

Thank goodness their is SNL to poke some fun at a guy who really needs to lighten up on the whole Jesus thing. I'm not saying don't believe but don't push into peoples face Tebow, that's just not classy. See below for the Tim Tebow SNL skit.



That's it for the list. Like I said I am a relatively easy going person.

Broken Heart

Have you ever had your heart ripped out of your chest and then broken into a million pieces?!? Well, I know I have. Just recently I finished up a relationship, and our break up was probably one of the hardest ones I have ever gone through, well that's not exactly true a year ago I suffered similar heartache, but that's because that relationship had gone on for 10 years.

Curse you J.K Rowling. You showed me how to love characters and then killed them. That and the fact that you just finished writing the series, I mean you could have written 40 books and I would have read all of them. And 40 isn't really that much, don't you remember Nancy Drew, and the Box Car Twins?!? There were like hundreds of those and I loved every single one, I still have them all on my bookshelf and refuse to donate them to charity. But I digress, back to my broken heart. Well let's just say getting over J.K Rowling and the loveable baggage of Hermione, Harry, Ron, the twins and even Draco who came with her was very difficult, but eventually it was done when I began a new series with new characters that I learned to love. These new characters consisted of Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen, and what was great about them was I never once thought to myself wow Katniss is so badass but is no Hermione Granger. No these characters were so great there was no need to compare. Side Note: For those of you who don't recognize these names please stop reading this blog and go to the nearest bookstore asap! For those of you who do, read on. But yes Suzanne Collins along with her amazing characters have once again done what not many people can do to me, latched onto my heart and then broken it into a million tiny pieces. So in the spirit of my attachment to fictional characters, which seems greater than that of real people I found this amazing image and posted it below. Enjoy! Oh and if you haven't ready Suzanne's Collins' book The Hunger Games or "gasp" Harry Potter you really need to, otherwise I'm not quite sure you will understand the image below.




That's all for now, Keep Calm and May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor.
