Happy New Year Everybody! Happy 2012, Happy Birthday To ME!
The holidays mean something much different to me, besides the obvious family times that really make it special. It truly is the end of the year for me. Christmas, New Years and poof My Birthday January 2nd. It's the end of an age and the beginning of the new and it's so close to new years so it's kinda cool. When I was younger I used to want a different Birthday month.. Only because I was nervous that it was so close to Christmas I'd get jipped from gifts, and then we ALWAYS went back to school the day of my birthday from vacation... it was a bummer then. I know I don't have a special day to look forward to in the middle of the summer but what the Heck, I'll drink to anything. Happy "It's Thursday and I was on time to work today" is just fine by me. My Holidays were great and I hope all of you had a wonderful time as well. If you have a resolution in mind, take small steps and make it happen! Good Luck!

Ending this Year with a Bang! I am thankful that I didn't continue with last years bad habits... ie. Bad People.. you know who you are! Well anyway, on to 2012 and getting stronger every step of the way ;) My Birthday is in 4 days, who is gonna party it up with me?? It's my last year in my 20's... ugh!
So here is to the New Year and the New Opportunities!
Cheers!

Mood: Bothered
Costume: Got my damn Cape on!
OK so here we go... I welcome you to my damn rant of the day...
Parts of me want to save my fingers and not type this but I am also saving my breath in the same... because it would be pointless, but I need to get it out somewhere. Regardless if you read this or not.
I didn't realize that I was born yesterday... when were you going to tell me?? Well no, I really wasn't. It was a cold day in January in 1983, right after we all said Happy New Year, Sheila welcomed me into the world after a long 3 day battle.... nobody said I make things easy either, cause obviously I didn't from the jump. I was born a female, yes... still doesn't make me an idiot, as some males may argue. It doesn't make me irrational either, even though I don't claim to never be that way. My best friends will tell me if I am being just that and I will sit down and listen... I also am not saying that my best friends won't tell me I am being stupid for letting this bother me as well. We are all human and we all make decisions on our own. Now down to the nitty gritty. My FRIENDS... are genuine. Don't call/text me just when it's a convenience for YOU, yes it's obvious. Like I said, I was NOT born yesterday. You took the time out of your busy schedule to address me and then poof, no response... what do I think this means??
If you are not going to continue on with the reason you are addressing me in the first place, then why bother?? Why take the time to reach out if you know it's just filling the down time you have. I work a lot, most of you know... so when I stop what I am doing to respond to you, make it worth it! I may sound like a bitch, but I already warned you, my cape is on! No I am not unhappy and this is not why I am ranting. NO I am not a Naggy Bitch, I am just being honest... I will do anything for my Family and Friends, I will be a true friend till the end. One hand washes the other, so on and so on... so this is what burns my toast on a daily basis. I don't reach out because you don't respond (it's not like you care anyway)... again, I don't like to waste my time! I will stand mighty proud on my soapbox this morning and scream it in your ear... I am not going to beg you to understand the person that I am and the friend I am trying to be... if You don't get it then I guess, It is what it is. Please don't waste my time anymore. I am happy and content at living the life that I want. I love the people that want to be in my life and they love me back. I guess this all stemmed from a quote I read this morning....

YOU WASTED MY TIME.

I am not an on the fly friend. My attention and time is worth more then you think. I have goals... I know what I want in life and a friendship like that is not on that list. After all I am just being honest...
My Sarcasm is the response to your lack of genuine friendship.

OK, so I am going to take a minute to apologize for my absence... I have been one Busy Shelly! New things have fallen into my lap and I have been so grateful for them. I started a second job, with some cool nifty photogs at a Portrait Photography Studio and I am having a blast!

I might ask what was wrong with you lol cause it's pretty cool! I started a personal journey and have been quite successful at it.. I am going to toot my own horn and pat myself on the back because I know that anything that I put my mind to because I want it that bad, I AM going to the Achieve it!! I haven't failed myself yet and I am never going to ;) I am on a roll! Things are looking up in Shelly's World! I AM SHELLY, HEAR ME ROAR!

Shame on me...
Shame on me to believe, I could fix you for eternity...
and for all the pain and heartache you brought me through... I was just about to give up my dreams for you. I lived a double life that no one knew, if I only could see the damage you would do. Glad I am passed what I thought was new but I can't help but raise awareness from YOU!

Shelly Thing #66
Eerie Number for the topic of the post... I think so, You may not... it's 66, and it makes me think of 666...
Well I am just going to graze the topic cause it's just a thought that came across my mind... Generally it's what happens when I post things... maybe I should spit more of them out in a day. Then again, you may think I'm a complete weirdo lol
Well today's topic is. Unhappiness. (see why I thought 66 was eerie... the devil is always unhappy lol)
Stemming back to my post on Expression... again lol Did you know that when you are unhappy, you express it in some type of way? I am just going to hone in on the Facial expression and the Action.
Facial Expression: I go into a grocery store, the girl at the checkout counter always looks completely MISERABLE! That doesn't make for a good visit with the checkout girl... No... I always try to make small talk with them, make em smile or chuckle. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. What that person doesn't realize is, when they have that look of misery on their face, people take notice and it kind of turns the person off. Now, if you are miserable too.. it may just be a match made in heaven lol (misery loves company) ok ok enough of that.. lol anyway. No Matter how much I hated my job, I still put a smile on. But that is just me. Some people don't realize if you just suck it up, be the best you can be, and smile while doing it, you wouldn't be so miserable! Maybe there are other things going on in the background that we don't know about and it could be the reason for the sour puss but you can always make a change. Now, I'm not standing on a soap box and telling you that I am never unhappy, cause that would be a Bold Face Lie! I realize that when I am unhappy I have to make a change... sometimes it's not easy- well.. Life isn't easy! Some people will say, "There is NO changing it" well yes, there is. Which brings me to actions... You act a certain way with your mood. If you are constantly doing something which results in something else (which causes stress or unhappiness for you and "others") then that means you were Unhappy from the jump! You may think of a million other reasons to justify the action, but in reality people eventually WILL catch up on it and see how Unhappy you really are. Sometimes you feel these actions are making you happy... no no no... You are just fueling your unhappiness.(oh man did this one become a blind item as well? Shucks) There are things that if you actually sat down and thought about it, are a result of your actions. I'm not going list them, you already know them... Well, hopefully you will figure it out one day. Why add the stress to your life? I ask myself that question all the time.... I am learning to slowly not deal with the things that are going to make me unhappy or act in a way that is basically a cry for help. Till then, a smile is contagious and maybe you should shed some of that happiness to that girl that the checkout counter, maybe it will help her change a couple things in her favor. Stop and think about all issues you have in your life and see if they are a result of your unhappiness! You may just save yourself and others a lot of heartache!
