Hump de bump day

Please don’t get used to this… but lately it’s gotten to the point where it’s either I do this, or I fall asleep
And thanks to 2 cups of the French roast k-cups… sleeping is not an option… especially before lunch time
Don’t get me wrong, when there’s work…. There’s WORK.. but when there isn’t, all we can do here is wait for the auditors to send us our next project.. so we wait… and wait… and sleep… and wait…..

I used to almost never drink coffee unless it was Pumpkin Spice Latte season.. and even then.. it was a once a week gift to myself if I did something awesome.. like homework.. or finish something…
But now… we’ve upped the dosage to about 5 times a week…. This is not good…

When I was in thailand, I would kill about 4 cups of instant coffee a day.. especially in the beginning when we were fighting the jet lag….
And when I got back.. it was k-cup after k-cup….
Now it’s just become a habit….i can feel myself becoming addicted

So lately, my interactions with people have been transforming from casual to business-like (obviously I blame my workplace)
Previously, and remember this is only face to face…. I will never change on gchat… haha :
Friend- Hey what’s up
Me- Yoooo whaddup; the sky; what’s crack a lackin (ok I’ve literally never said that before, but you get the idea)

Friend- Hey, want to go eat?
Me- Foo, of course

After 8 months of working with people a lot older than me:
Friend- Hey what’s up
Me- Hello good sir

Friend- Hey, want to go eat?
Me- Indubitably

Obviously it’s not those exact words, but again.. you get the idea
My interactions have gotten more business-like…. Is that a good thing?
I have no idea

Even in email interactions with my coworkers and managers I have started to sound strange….
I literally never use the term “lol”
But my manager said something that I’m pretty sure was intended as a joke and I replied “LOL!”
I felt like sucha tool….

Joe Paterno needs to be FIRED
You can’t let him be able to leave on his terms… this is something where u really can’t claim ignorance… if you aren’t part of the solution you are indeed part of the problem
And joepa… in this case, you could have done a lot more and you didn’t… simply put…

Insert awkward transition right…… here:
Holiday season is upon us
Makes you think of all there is to be thankful for
And then you think about all that you don’t have and get angry
Just kidding
This is why fall is so nostalgic… you start thinking about the past year and, while looking forward to the new year, you can’t help but to think about how much has changed…
Makes me realize how grateful I need to be in all circumstances
Last year at this time I didn’t have a job or a fully functioning car, for instance
Now I have one of each
I’m spoiled I tell you
Fall also makes you realize how alone you are
HAHA just kidding… kind of

I’m learning the importance of praying in all circumstances.. I think it’s a good way to really stay in tune with my creator
Thanking Him for the good times and the bad, praying for others, praying for yourself
It’s like they always say “I’m too busy NOT to pray”
It’s making more sense to me
It’s helping me to love as well
I think one of the most important aspects of this life is to love Him and love His people
So simple to say
So hard to do
And surprise, surprise, this is where prayer is especially important
Let’s WORSHIP Him… Every day in every way… that’s what my Beamerball bracelet says anyways…….
In everything we do, let’s worship… even by reading this blog let’s be intentional in worshipping Him!!
That is all

Insert awkward transition 2 right….. here
So there’s this mixtape out called “Brooklyn. Chicago. London.” It’s a mixtape featuring Jay-Z, Kanye, and Adele
It’s pretty good, it’s basically all I’ve been listening to
Way better than that trashy Watch the Throne crap kanye and jay did…. Horrible, horrible cd in my opinion

Outside of that, I’ve been listening to Pandora at work, it’s good to have variety
I highly recommend the onerepublic and adele playlist
As well as the Backstreet Boys one.. haha..guilty pleasure I can’t lie

LET’S GO HOKIES!!!
