RULES IV'E LEARNED OR HAVE PROVEN TO BE TRUE:

1.  Always trust your instincts.                              

(Translation:  Call it woman's intuition or whatever you want but when you get that gut feeling about someone or something, it is probably right so take note of it.  So if you meet someone and they give you a creepy vibe, they ARE creepy or a creep, time will prove you right so avoid the hassle and don't try to be nice, just ditch em.)

2.  Never underestimate anyone.

(Translation:  If someone appears to be a dumbass, they may not actually be a dumbass, they could prove you wrong so give them the benefit of the doubt, people can surprise you.  They can also unpleasantly surprise you!)

3.  Karma.  What goes around comes around.

(Translation:  Your time will come.  It may slowly eat away at you.  Or it might sneak up on you but when it comes motha fucka, its gonna hit you hard!  You're going down!

Time...the saying time flys is so cliche but it is so true, in fact it is an understatement.  Here I am amidst the glory of summer trying to enjoy the time I have but it is going by so quickly.  Every year I anticipate the summer but before you know it, it is July 1st, then August and before you know it, it is back to school and its fall all over again!  We look forward to certain days for events and it seems like a specific day is so far away but as the days go by and the day gets closer, the excitement grows and just like that the day has come and gone and its on to something else to capture our attention.  I suppose if you sit around and actually ponder this concept of time, you can really depress yourself.  I guess that's why we don't try to think about it too much and try to encompass time in the saying time flys.  Time is a funny thing.  Sometimes you wish you can just hit pause and enjoy the present and not grow old.  There is not enough time to do anything anymore, not enough hours in a day no matter how you manage your time and everyone around you is so busy.  During school, when I was studying for an exam or trying to catch up on work, I found myself chasing the minute hand and soon the hours would slip away from me too.  I would say if I only had one more day to prepare, but you know that wouldn't help either because that extra day would skip by too and I would probably end up procrastinating more with the extra day.  Wow!  What a lose lose situation.  Yet there are moments when you wish time could move faster while you stare at the clock at work which seems to be frozen in time or when you are trying to forget something or someone or get over something.  Time heals all, right?  Does time speed by so people can forget the pain they have, to forget what someone has done to them so they can move on and feel normal again?  Is the pace of time a healing mechanism that allows people to get through the grind of everyday life and all its trials and tribulations?  Over the past few months time has become my friend, we have made peace, especially needing to rely on it to get over something that only time can heal so I can move on.  When all else failed and I almost went crazy replaying the events in my head, time has been there to allow the memories of the past to fade into the distance and the goal of having peace of mind in becoming more and more attainable.  Ah time...

Wow, I am finally up and running!  I have been logged in for months without a single entry, what took me so long you ask (or don't really care!).  I don't know, fear of judgement, revealing too much of myself, being scrutinized or realizing that no one is interested in little old me!  Well whatever, I'm here now, this shall be my outlet, I have a lot of pent up aggression and observations I need to be known.   Try getting rid of me now!
