I'm very down-to-earth, and laid-back that loves to enjoy good company. Even during the bad times, there are always positives to be enjoyed and learned from it all. I might be referred to as "Random" or a "Free-Spirit", but I believe its my unending need to explore it all. I have quite a fancy for cities, cultures, indie films, nightlife, music, dancing, cute cocktails LOL, cooking, entertaining, being a tour guide, and helping others. I think this year has been quite a challenging one due to some losses of friendships, but I know it has definitely been an eye-opener and another stepping stone for my own personal growth. I'm not perfect, nor will I ever convey that. Ask any of my closest friends, and they might tell you quite a few stories LOL. There are a lot of things I could talk about, and could get mushy LOL, because I really am a mushy-type at times, but I'll save you from that THIS TIME ;). As for the topic of this blog, (I'm sure you read it above) it will be mainly about life's woes and experiences that are most importantly LEARNED.
I'll leave with a cute anecdote that I came across about negative people. We all are negative every once in a while, but this helps everytime we have a negative thought. So lets get ready to blogggg :0 Much more to come in the next session.
"A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband.
She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded: ' Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty.You're crazy to go to Rome .
So, how are you getting there?' 'We're taking Continental,' was the reply.
'We got a great rate!'
'Continental?' exclaimed the hairdresser.
' That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late.
So, where are you staying in Rome ?'
'We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome 's Tiber River called Teste.' 'Don't go any further. I know that place.Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump, the worst hotel in the city!
The rooms are small, the service is surly, and they're overpriced.
So, whatcha' doing when you get there?'
'We're going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope.'
'That's rich,' laughed the hairdresser.'You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it.'
A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo.
The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome . 'It was wonderful,' explained the woman, 'not only were we on time in one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class.The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city.They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!'
Well,' muttered the hairdresser, 'that's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the Pope.'
'Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.
Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand!
I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me.'
'Oh, really! What'd he say ?'
He said: 'Where'd you get the shitty Hairdo?' "
