No one is….

So for those you do not know me let me introduce myself:

My name is Courtney. I am 21 and I am:

• A Music lover <3
• Someone who is taken advantaged of easily.
• Someone who stands up for herself and friends
• A HUGE Yankees Fan
• Love the Ohio State Football Team
• Jack Johnson is my all time mellow guy! I would love to chill with him and just listen to him jam!
• I am only truly happy when I am near the ocean

 

I guess I am out of things to say but I leave you with this….another mellow guy I find to be fly: Bob Marley

What we tend to forget.

Somtime I forget that I am not invincible. No one is infact, some if us only pretend we are. I find it funny when there are some people who believe that they are the best in their world but in reality they’re not.

Example: My roommate’s parents were intown for the weekend and they came to all of the games for the weekend. I have come to learn from this weekend and weekends past is this: This is one passionate soccer family. but I love them anyways

Back to the game. There is a player that my roommate’s mother has a little tiff with another player on her daughter’s team. This player coming into the season is the best of the best. But she has a little bit of ego problem; and when I mean a little I mean BIG one. with that said my roomate’s mother is very keen on getting her point across that she does not like this player. I have to agree with her. If you saw how this player was during the game you would understand why this girl needs to be kicked in the butt. She thinks that if the ball doesn’t come to her then she has no need to move. Wrong move…this is the reason why your team lost tonight. Yuppers. I have some choice words for her but I am going to keep those to mysef. They don’t need to be put on blast.

But other than that, I have had a chill Sunday. Soccer games, Japanese food for lunch, and  Ice Cream and watching the VMA’s with my roommate later. It’s been a pretty good weekend and it sucks that I have school in the morning and it starts with Lab bright and early.

Until we meet again next time I leave you with this:

“and the party don’t start ’til I walk in”

Where were you?

So today I went to work and I came across a customer who quite frankly made me feel like an ass. I found it odd at first when I saw her walk in and she was decorated like an American Flag. I am not kidding,  AN AMERICAN FLAG! So after I took her order I complimented her on her attire. This is the the conversation that followed:

Me: I am liking the outfit

Customer: Well you should, its only one of the most important days in America’s History

Me: Really?!

Customer: Yes, don’t you know what today is?

Me: Yeah… its September…..11th. oh

Customer: Yeah, I feel that today needs to be a national holiday, all flags should be at half-staff and businesses should be close.

Me: Well, I agree but I think America shouldn’t come to a  stand still, those people who died would have wanted us to continue with our lives.

Customer:  Well let me guess, you are one of those people, who thinks we should get out of the war, huh?

Me: I don’t agree with the war but it is not my decision

Customer: well you should stick with the winning side. *points to her shirt* We are fighting for 3,000 people

Me: and yet we killed over 100,000 people.

Customer: That’s the price for YOUR freedom.

After this conversation, I felt a like I was slapped across my face. Not only did this customer call me ‘un-american’ for not supporting the war, but I felt like an idiot because I forgot what today was. I mean it was nine years ago but its it still fresh in many people’s mind. It made me realize that there are some people who are still extremly upset that extremeist violated. Yet we as americans came out stronger than ever. We should come together everyday as one.

I’m back!

Well, it’s been almost 2 years since my last blog on this website and I must say I still like I am super new to this. But what can one person say when they have had the year like I did. But I promise that I will keep better care and continuously update this blog when I feel is necessary.

Until Next Time

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

I do mean what I say in the title…It is the most wonderful time of the year! FINALS (you really didn’t think I was going to talk about Christmas, HA)! I love watching those who think they are smart make a fool of themselves by not studying and practically failing the class. Not Me. So far this week I have been staying up into the late hours working on all of my classes, making sure I know what I am doing! That’s dedication. I can rest when I go home, to my own bed and be with my friends. I can party when I am in Wilmington (the real party capital of N. Carolina)

With the end of the Semester comes a new question that I must answer. What to o about this blog. I was never a huge blogger before my  Digital Media class but now, I can’t say that I am a pro at it, or that I will be able to keep up with it while I am home. But I can try. No harm in trying and keeping you the faithful reader interested with what I have to say! Until then, I will keep posting Carolina(and GWU) basketball scores and put up some recommendations about my favorite songs and bands!

Until Next Time….Stay Fly
