The New Year

Yes, exciting first blog post of 2010. I would also like to point out that I will new calling this new year and new beginning twenty-ten. It sounds better then two thousand ten. Anyways this new year brings new happenings and new hopes. For one, I have to loose 20 pounds in six weeks, comes out to about three pounds a week. Doesn't seam that hard right, except that I am going to dye at the gym. Next the big event of 2010 is that I will be graduating on May 1. Oh My Gosh that is huge. I am going to be a college grad. Lastly, I start law school in less then nine months and have yet to pick which school I will be attaining. So what is 2010 a year of renewal, of a stronger me and of a self sufficient person.

I attained the gym for the first time yesterday, NIGHTMARE! It was super crowded and gross guys staring at you on the bike machine, not cool. I was proud of the 7.5 miles that I biked, I am more proud of the two sets of the resistance machine, giving my body the full work out it deserve. The best part of today is I don't feel over worked. I feel great actually. So I still have seven days on my guest pass before I am going to actually start paying them. Boo!

My diet, hasn't been as successful. Nope, had a hot dog yesterday and don't want to give up my morning coffee. According to Dr. Oz I shouldn't have too, I should have something that makes me want to continue the diet. Well maybe if I drink coffee, I can cut the soda habit. That is probably more important to kick then coffee.

Okay, Graduating College. I am really excited about my last year at CBU, I little bitter sweet. OMG I am going to be a college grad. This really is a big thing and I am going to make it big. I am going to send out announcements and take pictures and have a party and the whole shobang! Looking forward to May 1st!

Lastly, Law School. Josh is so excited for the law school. It's like his dreams are coming true along with mine. I am excited that I am actually seeing my dreams come true! So deciding is just a technacility now. I will decide and it will be the right decision but I am not going to rush anything!

Tell next time my dears, Kisses!

Sooundtrack of 2009

Okay so I love Music, almost all types. I am more content listening to music then watching television. So here are my top picks of 2009. Not all of them came out in 2009 but their presence was in 2009!

10. Kings of Leon Only by the Night
-like I said I know it came out in 2008 but this CD rocked my world and kept me sane during LSAT prep time, Whatever all u men out there that think this is a winny band! Girls love them!

9. Brittney Spears Circus
-Come on the girls got talent and as a loyal BS fan, I have to tell you this album was amazing! I can't wait to see her again.

8. Lady Antebellum self named
-If you are a county fan this is the one to buy. This trio will go down in history people!

7. Zack Brown Band The Foundation
-Put a little twang in my step

6. Pink Funhouse
-Loved the evil break and Please don't leave me was my shower song for at least two months

5. U2 No line on the Horizon
-As it was compared to Joshua Tree you know it is amazing but still feel as if U2 is holding back on us (BTW I attended the history making Rose Bowl show! It was worth every overpriced penny)

4. The Fray self titled
-Amazing listen to Happiness then come tell me that these men don't have talent. No, this isn't a Christian band and the lead singer hates being called Christian Band.

3. Black Eyed Peas The E.N.D.
-Had to party to something

2. Brand New Daisy
If you haven't heard this CD buy it, haven't heard Brand New start with this CD. Even though Jesus Christ will always be my favorite Brand New song, Daisy is going to challenge that

1. T.I. Paper Trial
-Yes Josh hates this CD now but this man is talented and has life lesson in his mistakes.

There u go, I can't wait till 2010 and the exciting music including the New Kings of Leon, a Brand New tour and Toby Mac. Can't wait!

Biffer :)

Okay really biffer? Who really keyed this term. I mean I say bff but biffer? Well anyways my thirteen year old almost fourteen sister in law told me this term yesterday, I laughed out load. I had someone ask me who my biffer was and automatically I say Jon Plante. It has been intuned in me this way to do, I have said the name since I was thirteen years old. Jon Plante. My boyfriend laugh. "Patti, when was the last time you and Jon hung out?"
Kay fine, true he's got me there but doesn't the daily conversation with my childhood friend keep us as biffers? So I have been thinking about the issue of my biffer?
Kay, the obvious choice of my best friend would be the love dover, my boyfriend. As Josh and I have an amazing friendship, there is just some things we can't do together. The major, bitch about the other. Don't get me wrong I love my boyfriend but sometimes he irrates the crap out of me, I am human not perfect! So do I consider him my biffer? No, I consider him the love of my life

Second obvious choice, my partner in crime. Brittany! Yes, she is amazing. I lovers her! Brittany is sponteanous, crazy, loud and childish. I am spontenaous, crazy, loud and childish. Not counting on excitment to have a good time. We are very opposite. Are what I should really say is that Brittany at 18, now, is who I was at 18. Uncertain, scared, excited, and emmotional. I love Brittany and she is definitely my best girl friend but not best friend.

Finally Jon Plante. Jon and I grew up together. His parents and my parents are best friend. What is the foundamental bases that makes Jon and I best friends. Maybe it is simply that I have been able to break down and loss it with him time after time. Maybe it is that he has been by my side through all the break ups the death of my loved Aunt, the deaths of both my grandparents, and the diagnose of my father's Parkinson. Maybe it is because when we are together we totally intuned to each other, finishing sentence, laughing and smiling. Maybe it is because when I look back at my life, every major event he has been in. Really I think it is simply because when I am down and out, his ring tone the one I hear. I love Jon, I always have. He is my simple ending.

Jon once told me after my grandma died, It is not the brick fall down when your world crumbling that is hard, it is when the smoke settled and you have to try to figure out how to put it all together again. Luckily I caught all your bricks. He did. With his help along with a good support group four years later I can talk about my Grandma without bursting into tears. Jon's life crumbled in October, he broke both of his ankles in a motorcycle accident. I didn't catch a single brick. I was too wrapped up in my selfish problems of which law school I would be attaineding. Selfish, Patti, Selfish.

He is still my best friend. I call him everyday and we laugh and we smile and act like kids. He knows that I am an emotional rollercoaster. He knows that I am so ridicolously afraid of failure. He also knows that I am uber lucky and have meant a man that I am hopelessly in love with.

So my biffer still maybe Jon, by default or whatever you want to call it. But thinking about I have this amazing man at home who loves me passionately and endlessly. I have this amazing girly who stays up cries during My Sister's Keeper. Then I have this amazing friend who changes with my challenges and has keep me sane in the last 11 years. I am so blessed.

So God Blessed me with the most amazing lover, Josh.
God Blesses me with the funnest gf, Britany.
God Blesses me with the everlasting friendship, Jon.

As Josh will always be my number one, the next two are close beyound and we will have a fun and amazing life together.

Till Next time, Kisses!

Failure

I feel like a failure. In a perfect world, I wouldn't be anywhere close to where I am now. I yearn for what I can't have. God. I can be such a failure.

Another set of Bad LSAT score might leave me doing the MPA program at CBU. Sometimes, I am frustrated because I don't practice enough. Sometimes I am frustrated because I am simply just not good enough. Screw this. Can I say that about my future?

Another argument boyfriend reminds me that I am expendable. The ring on my left hands means nothing. It is empty, a lie. Just a diamond ring with no purpose or hold behind it. It was a ploy to get me to stay. Well I guess it worked, I am still here.

Isn't it funny how girls can be upset right in front of their significant other and they don't even notice. I was upset he didn't give me a double look. Mine is better then most.

Failure! I want to be alone. Failure!

James Building

My time at California Baptist has been very interesting and after getting information that the campus use to be an asylum I am going to take a field trip. I knew that the old building was creepy and recently after exploring the building with a good friend, I knew that it wasn't one of my top places to be on our beautiful campus. Then I wake up this morning and check a facebook post that said our school has catacombs. What? Catacombs?
Yes so the snoop in me started flashing around the internet and I found many rumors, many lies, and few facts. So lets do the facts first,
1. California Baptist College moved into the James Building in 1950.
2. Frank Miller owned the James Building before CBU came in, it was called "The New Homes of Woodcraft."
3. Their is no written proof that James Building was ever an asylum. I have looked believe me!
4. There are also no pictures of pre CBU James.
Okay lets attack these one at a time.

CBC bought this building plus 80+ acres for $800,000.
Second Frank Miller was crazy, everyone in Riverside knows that. In his diaries he wrote that the inspiration of the interior design of the Mission Inn is the Winchester House and the famous Mission Inn Tower is where Miller went insane and plotted the murder of his wife and children. Like the Mission Inn, the James building has catacombs.
Third, No written proof so I squashing that issue.
Fourth, CBU has quite the collection of Riverside pictures. I have gone through all of them, along with the city of riverside pictures, and searched online. If you have a preCBC picture of the James Building I would love to see it.
Finally, I have found one picture of the entrance of the James Catacombs, this is for several reason. One you can and students have in the past get expelled from CBU if you get caught. Two it is scary to be in the full lighted James Building and there is no lights down in at the Catacombs.

So finally what is my findings, that I am going to keep looking. I will find out if something is up with that building. I trust my gut here and maybe after graduation ofcourse I will dare myself down into the catacombs!

Till next time, Best Wishes
