Kristle - Tales of My Everyday Life

I went to her show at House of Blues a little while back. I love her music! Anyways, I didn't really care for the other performers before her, but when she came on she put on a dope show. I enjoy all her songs, but my favorites right now are shove it and creator. If you haven't heard her yet, check her out. Aldo, Nimo, and me Anne and me.

I got to go to the first NBA game at the Citizen's Bank Arena last night. It was the last preseason game this year for the Lakers; season starts tuesday. I had such a blast. I was close enough to see the players as good as you would see on the television screen. Almost everyone on the team was thrown into the game. Some of the faces I got to see more of this year as opposed to last season are: Bynum (finally back!), Ariza (getting in the action), and Farmar (he's definitely showing lots of potential and improvement). Kobe played a few minutes and sat out the rest of the game (I guess he's resting his knee until next week when the season starts). Tonight was just a preview of an interesting season ahead of us. I love this game.

I know I'm fiercely loyal and dedicated to my family and friends, sometimes to the point where it has sacrificed my own interests (as I previously mentioned). I didn't realize I was sacrificing myself this whole time because it was such a familiar way of life. I know my family loves me and supports me in their own way, but I know that the idea of them always holds me back from doing different things I want to. I'm calling out one of my major excuses in life. Sometimes they discourage me from doing things (being protective), sometimes they get more sad about things not being the same or that I have to go away for awhile for me to do what I need to do, they say things that sometimes make me feel guilty for not spending more time with them, then I get scared and hold back. I get scared because I always want to be there and I don't want to miss out and I don't want to take my time with those I love for granted. I've been making some adjustments along the way trying ...

My family = kickback (size) My family + our friends = PAARTAY then mix that with... 3 (1.75 liter) bottles vodka (2 Grey Goose, 1 Kirkland) - gone 1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila - gone 1 bottle Absolute vodka - gone 1 bottle Kahluhua - half gone 3 (1 liter) bottles Bacardi Rum - 3/4 gone 1 bottle Bacardi 151 - 1/4 gone 1 bottle Hennessey - gone Several dozens cans and bottles of different beers (too many to list) - gone Add some food and snacks Add magic mic karoake + DJ (in the garage) + chillen in the backyard = lots of happy fun loving drunk peeps + lots of nonstop moments of fun til 4 am + one super drunk cousin (birthday boy) [also 12 or more large bags of trash (6 fit outside the large trash bin) + lots of cleanup (blah)] but overall...GOOD TIMES

I know growing up I was raised to be considerate of others. I know a lot of times working as a nurse often puts me in a position to put my patients first or at least I assumed we always did. I know working as a nurse influenced me to make a habit of doing things for others, even if it was things they could do for themselves. Even though there is nothing wrong with being considerate of or taking care of others, I realized I got carried away with this to the point where I usually lost myself in the process. I knew more about other peoples likes, dislikes, wants, hopes, dreams, fears, etc. before really examining my own. I was more in tune with other people's business, while I allowed myself to neglect being more conscious of mine. I thought being more involved in the lives of the people I cared about was the way I expressed my love and support for them, and I still think it does to a certain point. Instead of letting other people be responsible for their own happiness, I thought I ...

It's coming. Another season for letting go and moving on. It's my life and I'm going to do whatever I want with it.

I can hardly wait to catch up on sleep, get through the work weekend as quickly as possible, be caught up with all my homework, and get my top pick Laker premium game tickets. Another weekend, another day, another dollar. I'm so delirious from lack of sleep and I hope my night goes well.
