Watch a Film by Jim Jarmusch!!!


Any film by Jim Jarmusch is worth seeing. He tells these genuine stories that, to me, always seem to require more mindfulness than your average film. I always enjoy the awkward silences that persist throughout his films. I watched Broken Flowers, but my favorite is Mystery Train, and then Ghost Dog is great too. Even better is I watched this with my friend over a glass of wine.

Be Your Dorky Ass Self

Well here it is, a new year. I am really going make this a good one. I have so many plans and goals.
I hung out with three women today that are truly fun. We ate Mexican food, shopped at the dollar store, and then we went bowling. Finally we landed at a quiet dive bar where I met the sweetest bar tender. The thing about hanging out with people you can be yourself with is that you’ll be laughing about the most mundane things such as impressions or facial expressions you make at one another. You can make the most inappropriate jokes about yourself and them. You can just be as dorky as you want to be. And I really need that in my life.

Bowling and drinks with friends.

I worked today. Which, I was grateful for. I could really use the money. My roommate took me and my man out to go bowling. We had no money. But he offered to pay. I absolutely love bowling! Obviously. Another friend of mine joined us too. After bowling she bought us a round of drinks at another bar where we people watched.

Lay around gabbing with your dear friends while eating waffles with lots of butter and syrup. (Forget your stupid resolution!)


All of the alcohol and fatty foods have left me feeling groggy today. I have had three cups of espresso and I can’t seem to wake up. I spent my entire afternoon lying in bed with my friend Taij discussing our anxieties, identity crisis and how we struggle to be artists. We ate homemade waffles after our friend Q joined us and continued our discussions on life issues. I haven’t done anything like that since I was a teenager. It gave me that carefree feeling that so many teenagers have before they have to deal with the woes of life. 

Introduction

I consider myself to be one who is reluctant to have fun and joy in my life. I have suffered from depression for a long time and have done a lot of work to not have it be so debilitating to my everyday existence. However, I still struggle to have a good time now and again. I have decided I want to keep track of my moments of fun and joy on a daily basis to help me remember that these moment exist more often than I believe they do and to hopefully inspire others to find more fun and joy in their day to day life.
