My Aspirations

"i'm pretty sure i just want to get my life straightened pretty young, get settled rather young or relatively soon, and just travel, enjoy seeing the world and exploring, etc. finding a way to do all this yet still maintaining a successful job.

it could be possible. somehow.


it's a dream of mine. i'll make it a goal.

i've always had a curiousity for exploring, and i think it's due to the fact that i've lived such a sheltered life compared to the rest of people in my generation and especially considering the town i've been raised in, people being so priveleged and shoving it in your face..

truth is, people around my area just don't seem to hack being real to me.. obviously with the exception of family and friends. i miss florida's vibe, the easy, calm feeling that the people of florida had about them.

i miss that about up north too, when i travel to vermont. life moves slower up there, it's not like us, being near new york city... being in the rush-hour-traffic version of life that we maintain.

i just don't think i really belong here. i want to see so much more.. i want to see chicago, drive around with my man around the outskirts of chi-town, pretending like we're in a john hughes film...

i want to go to kansas and check out the flat fields of america and maybe see a tornado!!

i want to go to idaho and see the beautiful backdrop of those purple mountains[majesty!] that are featured in napoleon dynamite!

i want to go to california and see the hollywood sign. i want entrance into a film studio!

i want to head down to texas and go to a real bbq.

i want to hit vegas and see the bright light city that would set my soul on fire [viva las vegassss lawlz]

i want to see the great lakes.. mall of america.. the list never ends!


...so much wanting. so much desire. "

R.I.P. Jessica Lunsford

On Friday, February 24, 2005, Mark Lunsford's alarm clock went off at 5:00 A.M., his usual work-day wake-up time. Lunsford, 42, drove a dump truck for a company called the Dirt Boys. He lived in a double-wide trailer on Sonata Avenue in Homosassa, Florida, which he shared with his parents, Ruth and Archie, and his 9-year-old daughter, Jessica.

Before he got out of bed, he reached over to the clock radio and turned off the alarm. He could hear the alarm going off in Jessica's room. She usually got up around the same time he did to get ready for school......
