Saturday-4-18-2009

Saturday morning I woke up at 8:56 am, which is a bit early for me, since I love to sleep in on Saturday and I only get up before 11 if I have to work. I got out bed and headed straight for my couch because the night before I had planned to watch the reminder of my Natasha’s movies that I bought and I was going to start with “The widow’s peak”. I looked out the screen door and saw that it was grey outside and I wondered what the temperature was. Therefore, I logged on to the internet to check the forecast for the day. I went on to Yahoo’s web site and saw that the weather was going to stay cloudy and a bit cold so I decided I would continue with my original plan. Instead of closing my computer, I went on to check the weather in New York City, which was a great idea because to my amazement I saw that it was going to be sunny and 74 degrees. Then I got a brilliant idea, I decided I must go to the city, so at 12:00 pm I was on a train to New York City.

The ride down was great, I sat on the side of the Hudson River, and periodically I would look up from the book I was reading and watch the Hudson River moving run along us. The river though murky glistered because the sun shone on it with great intensity.

When I arrived in New York, I exited the station at the 33rd street exit, and as soon as I step onto the sidewalk, I felt like I was home. I love the atmosphere of cities and off all the cities I have visited, there is something about New York’s, it welcomes me warmly and makes me feel great about myself.

The sun, moon, stars an planet and God's purpose

I think the sun, moon, stars and planets greatly influence the life forces in the universe. Think about, when the sun is out and it is light outside, we are awake, when the moon comes out and it is dark outside, we go to bed. Those people who work at night always have problem with their sleep cycle, when you travel to another time zone, you experience jet lag. There are animals and other life forces who cannot stay awake during the day and some that sleep most of the days of the year, God, the universe, created the planetary system to guide us through life.

contemplating the meaning of Life

What is the meaning of Life?
Why am I here? I better have find my purpose or else when I died if the others side exists I will not be a happy camper when I get there.
Why did I get up this morning?
What am I doing in Albany New York?
Why was I born in Sierra Leone?
Why am I soooo sooo short?
Why do I love?
Why do I hate?
Why can't I cry on a wimp?
Why haven't I see Paris?

The dumb things I do:

The dumb things I do:
Not saying “NO” when I am barely functioning
Wearing fabrics such as wool, that irritates my skin
Drinking too much coffee knowing that if might trigger a migraine attack
Not going to the gym even though I know I need to in order to stay energized
Not taking time to do things for me
This list is endless, I must change or else it –poof, I will implode.

Natasha Richardson

It's great when people close to someone you admire describes them as you thought they are like. http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/celebrity/article5949824.ece

Natasha sure will be missed by all that knew her and by us fans who wished we did. If I am to list my favorite actress she will make the top 5. If I am to list my favorite actress that has past she would make the top 5. She always seems warm, classy and genuine, I am sad that I never got to met her but I am glad to have her movies. Images of her and her husband Liam makes me believe true love still exist and I feel sad the most for him. Her sons will need all the strength and support in the world to get over this, she seems that she was a great mom.

In 2007 her mom wrote a public letter to her apologizing for not being the mom to her and her sister Joely the way they are to their children. In the letter the woman Vanessa describes is someone I hope to be. I am glad for Vanessa and Natasha's sake that letter was written, it should serve as an inspiration for us all.

I recently watched Vanessa in atonement and I thought about her and was going to rent one of her movies but never got around to it, I guess this weekend will be Natasha movie weekend. My dearest and deepest sympathies to those who are mourning her departure, may God send angels to be with them as they mourn the angel they lost.

"Earth Hour"

On March 28 at 8:30, a global event called “Earth Hour” is taking place to bring awareness to the issues our planet namely climate change. The event is organized by the world wildlife fund and Alanis has done a public service announcement (PSA) for them in which she clips her toenails (glamorous).

The word global is used loosely because there are many regions of planet without electricity and will not be able to partake; maybe the can turn off their candles and or lanterns. The world global is also being used loosely because less than 1% of the planet’s human population is aware of this event.

I cannot wait to hear about the time square population’s reaction when the lights go out. Over 1000 cities are participating in the event, and as for me, maybe I will be part of the Time Square crowd.

If you have the chance, what regret will you change?

I have discovered yet another show titled “Being Erica”. I found it on the soap channel and it is new, and it hails from Canada. It is about a 32-year-old woman who one day realized that her life is not what she dreamt it would be and miraculously a mysterious psychologist will be giving her the opportunity to go back and change the things she regrets.

This made me start thinking of the things I regret and wish like Erica I can go back and change. If I do change it, will my life turn out any different? My list is to long to list, so what are your regrets? My main one is College. I would change my major and go to school maybe in California and lived on campus. I would also do a semester abroad.


This also makes me realize how our choices as adult play a big part in determining our life. I can only imaging how many other different lifestyles I could have. The one I have now is based on many decisions I made in the past and the decisions I make now will determine my life ten years from now.
