Campfire smoke still lingers in my hair

Little did I know that deprivation has been my middle name this whole summer. Being able to enjoy a whole weekend without having to work was simply amazing. As a Las Vegas resident and living so close to "nature", I think I should be much more adventurous than I have previously displayed. Seeking adventure turned into a camping trip at Mt. Charleston in Kyle Canyon this past weekend. There was a meteor shower and the sky was beautiful. So many starts. It is moments like that that make me wonder what is really out there in "space" and although Planet Earth is in space, but it just seems so far out of reach. I also created a new recipe for s'mores. Instead of using Hershey's chocolate i used Andes mints. When God goes camping he uses my recipe. Yes, it was that good.

welcome to the hypothetical life

Hypothetically speaking, can a life be hypothetical? Could my life just be one big mess of possibilities and the un-picked chances just get left behind in the dust. We are limited by the choices we make and all the "what-ifs" are true possibilities that quickly transform into hypothetical questions. Just some food for thought.

If I had a say in genetics, I would make it so I tanned.

No matter how you look at it, Mondays are still pretty bad. They come to be a little easier though when you also work weekends. In the beginning of this summer I was working seven days a week, but that wore me down fast. So, I switched to working six days a week, taking Saturdays off. But, as yesterday, for the last two weeks of my summer spent in Henderson/Las Vegas/Southern Nevada as a whole... I have become normal and get to enjoy having two days off and actually have a weekend to enjoy. It isn't much, but it makes the world of difference when it comes to spare time. Which, in the latter days, I have had none. I Sleep, Eat, Poo, and thats all I do. Okay, I totally stole that from a saying on a baby's bib... but in all reality it is true.I have def. been lacking in the social aspect of my blooming youth. Friends are minimal when it comes to spending time outside of the workplace. I have spent more time with my family this summer than I did all through my high school years. Maybe, that is because I don't have to stay home due to parental orders on the grounds of being grounded. I choose to come and go as I please and I stay home. SO, that is border-line pathetic but it seems that no one really is itching to hang out with me this summer either. Well, minus a recent self proclaimed enemy which is now crawling back into my social circle labeled friends. That is a different tale entirely which I am sure that no one really cares to know about. I don't even want to think about it. I have been feeling very artsy lately am thinking of starting a series of artwork. In all actuality, i think writing lets me say things that i can't out loud... and the same goes for art. I was reading my blog from high school (http://www.blurty.com/users/sporkafied/) and maybe I will pull some inspiration. There is a lot of anger expressed, and that is the perfect fuel to any artistic fire. I have also been periodically browsing through the district at green valley and have found a small sanctuary of artistic expression at Anthropologie. I'm going to paint some picture frames once I finish packing up for reno. As for now, I guess i should go get some work done seeing I am getting paid... but what to do. That, is always the question. And, I need some aloe vera for my nose. Sunburns are so last season. I was sure that my skin got the memo. Humph.
