Just As i Am...

i thought you were special....

when i was little... i used to dream of becoming the ice cream truck driver. i wanted to give my grandma free ice cream!

how ambitious, eh?

and right now, i'm reading my bio for the Playbill of my play and it says "chriselda plans on becoming a psychiatrist." and wow... where did that come from? Sometimes, i just want to be the ice cream truck driver.

Truth is - i don't believe in happiness. i don't believe in love. or anger. or passion. i think they are all emotions that you have to spend your life trying to define. and that's 90% of any dream you have... just trying to find a way to make it concrete.

I am a "glass is half empty" girl because there's always room for more. always room to put more into that glass. so stop bitching about the definitive line and flippin' fill your glass already. and get some scotch in there... with ice. let the ice displace whatever needs to be displaced in that little tumbler that is your life. and as you watch sweat bubbles seep through the glass and slip on down to the table, forming that little ring that will surely eat the wood - i want you to think about all the time that you spend obessing about the unnecessary things in life. Why do you need to know if it's full or half full or half empty? just work on putting more in. and then drink that shit up!!! open your mouth wide, throw your head back and down that sucker!! cause life is too short to sit and obsess about it's contents....

.... and i'm rambling!!! Laken's party is in TWO DAYS!!! he'll be one in 20 days! i can't believe this day has come. and this whole year i've seen that glass for what it is... just a glass... waiting to be filled....

haha... no matter how old i get, i will never NOT want to be an ice cream truck driver. think about all that ice cream... in an accessible truck that you can drive around anywhere with you!

good luck with your son's birthday.

You could always have the ice cream truck driver thing as a fall-back career. Mine is a tour guide in Paris. One day....one day... :)

That's a good way of looking at the glass half empty thing....rather than putting a negative spin on it that everyone else does. I'm just a class.....fill it up, drain it out....it's ok....as long as I'm still standing in the end without shattering....all is well! :)

Have fun at the bday party! :)
