Let's just make it to 25..

And here I am at 25. One day past.

I must reassess my bucket list. Make a new bucket list for 25-30. So far the word is 30 is gonna be GREAT. we shall see.....

stuffs stuffs stuffs....

new bucket list. can i put things on from old bucket list? because clearly some of the stuff didn't exactly pan out so those things are still out there to be done/learned and....

knife throwing? not so much. i still would like to learn it but with two little animals running around outside when i'm out there i hardly think it would be safe to throw around sharp objects at the risk of impaling a loved one... :/

I've neglected a little piece of you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I'm NOT sorry.

I think this says it best:

It's actually so very hard and not ALL that rewarding to be responsible. Nobody is going to give me a cookie for paying off my credit card debt with my tax refund instead of putting it into my "porsche" fund. Yet the heart stab pain is there... and the "more hours worked to make up that chunk of greens" is there...

But i will reward myself today. Because my highest interest soul-sucking bit of debt has now been COMPLETELY cleared. I will actually be shredding the card today. which is ok because i have auto-deduct from spotify and netflix which are negligible charges a month and entirely affordable as monthly "luxuries" and whatnot.

A friend has brought to light a very terrifying notion. This blog is now almost at the age of self destruction. Less than one month hence I shall be 25 and barring any major tragedies I will have made it.... whatever that means..

I need to revisit my bucket list- the genesis of this blog- for I'm afraid I've lost my way.

However.

I got a ukulele!!!

not really relevant to the issue i'm sure. no, not "i'm sure" i'm positive my acquisition of said ukulele has no relevance to my blog self destruct issue.

Great advice from a friend yesterday.

I need to revisit The Art of War. Because sometimes you don't want to make friends, you want to get into an advantageous position to keep them from hurting you and move on. But it matters how you step on them and Sun Tzu will teach me the ways to get to the higher ground for better vantage. The world probably looks WAY better from up there.

It's a little funny because I want to study this so that I may find peace in a non-confrontational manner.

It's frustrating when your cat is just so much cleverer than you. With my puppy it's like AWW how cute this and ISN'T HE JUST THE SWEETEST that and whatnot. with this cat of mine...

grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

he's too stinking smart. he can open all of my doors no problem as long as they're not latched completely. he can open my counter oven door. all he needed was that ONE time i stored something in there for safe-keeping and he could smell it and then he got it and now he makes it daily practice to check if there's anything in there.
