So I work at a certain grocery store, which shall remain nameless henceforth. The work, well it's repeadative and redundant and repeadative and redundant. (I certainly am entertaining Mac -Indubatively Tosh.) Coming back from the tangent. In other words, my mind wanders frequently.
What's more frequently than frequently? Constantly? Yeah, let's go with constantly.
So my mind wanders constantly. I can't avoid the thoughts in my brain such as this: "I can't wait till I'm in Florida and NOT doing this job". I mean, as fun as it is to be a checker at the local gro- Ok, i'm gonna stop there. I can't even say that sarcastically. That's how much I dislike my means of providing for...myself.
I wanna go work in Florida for the Big Mouse! Now, daddy, I want it now! I'm so sick of this weather confused state that is Utah. In Florida it's warm. It knows the weather it's going to have each morning. Warm. It's so easy. Oh, but Utah. Here is what I think is the thought process of Utah as it wakes
"Well, what should the weather be today? Sunny? NO, cloudy! No, no. Muggy. No, it's Me, I can't have humidity. Hmmm, Sunny i think. Or no, the sun should be out but the temperature is really low. Ha, yeah, sunny, but freezing! It's brilliant."
I wanna move to a state where it knows what the weather will be. I wanna have a job where my mind doesn't wander constantly. I wanna go somewhere where I'll always have something to do so me and Ness don't wind up sitting at my house all night. I wanna have fun. Just like Sarah Jessica Parker. Yes, just like Sarah.

A little help...
What would you do if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key
I get by with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love is away?
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day?
(Are you sad cause you're on your own?)
No, I get by with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends
Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love
Would you believe in love at first sight?
Yes, I'm certain it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Oh I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key
I get by with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love is away?

Yes I get by with a little help from my friends

In a single moment
So earlier today, my friend told me for an english assignment she was going to have to write a paper on a single moment that changed her life. One event/point/instant where she knew her life was going to be different from then on. So I began to think if i've had anything like that happen to me and i seriously couldn't think of one. How pathetic! Many hours later I've realized that i have had numerous instances that were life changing and i didn't even realize it. I just needed to blurt out a few.
It's November, I can't remember quite what day, but it was November. It was opening night of the first play i'd ever done and what am I? The lead of course! The person who has to carry the entire show to the likely mediocre applause to follow what I thought would be a mediocre performance from a novice actor. Tevye was so beyond my mindset and I honestly couldn't believe the Nuttcase of a director cast me in such a part. I'd had absolutely no acting experience so how exactly was I supposed to pull this off? Never have I felt sick to my stomach from nerves. As my father applied the heinousness that is Spirit Gum which would glue a faux moustache and beard made from horse hair to my acne-filled face, I considered running. I honestly did. I could not believe I was about to go on a seemingly ginormous stage and say the lines I suddendly couldn't remember. However, as soon as that curtain rose and i began spouting off my lines, I knew I would never be able to shake the acting bug, EVER AGAIN!
It's June 18, 2005. Me, my father, my uncle and I had just arrived home from a showing of Batman Begins. We discussed in great detail each section we loved, all the action scenes, the romance, the dark moments. Then I get a phone call. Having seen many movies, I know a phone call after a great night is a tad ominous. It's a schoolmate. And he tells me, our beloved drama teacher passed earlier that day. I couldn't (or wouldn't) believe him. Surely this has to be some sick joke. He goes on to tell me that they are having a type of wake at the Sacketts house. Needing to see to believe I drove over there. The sound of many a musical theater song, full of hopes for better days reach my ears before the the door is opened. As I enter, I'm drowned in a wave of tears and emotion and I know it's true. The disbelief fades away and my own set of tears begin to fall.
Flashforward, a year and a half. November 2006. My family and I are in California for our annual road trip. At random, my family decided to venture out to the Century City mall. They had a Borders and I LOVE Borders. I convinced my parents to get the Lost soundtrack if I can get it at Christmas. Across from the eatery is a gigantic advertisment for The Holiday. So while I'm staring at a 15 ft. Jack Black, I get a call. Oh, those ominous phone calls. It's my friend Janessa. She explains how one of my best friends ( her bf) and some select other friends got an internship. An internship where they would move halfway across the states and work that oh so famous mouse. And the tears begin. Turns out him leaving would start off what shall hence forth be known as 'the year of leaving'. Soon after, other friends start skiping town to serve the Big Guy in the sky. One by one. It was like the second season of Lost where characters got picked off one at a time.
Now, in just a few weeks, (I hope) a major life change will occur. There will be many moments where everything changes. People, time, life. Some could say it's those changes that shape our lives and make us who we are. Well I say it's how we handle the changes that makes us who we are. Just some philosophy there for ya. Spark a life changing moment!
