Be You!

white_flowerI got some more good inspirational information to share with you all again today. I really have not had problems with this but I know a lot of people who do. Be you. Do not pretend to be someone. Like what you want and do what you want. If someone says something about anything you do not have to agree. So what if you are different. Everyone is. No one should be the same. We have our own interests, minds and bodies. We are all unique and special in our ways.

I have always been the person who stuck with my interests and thoughts even if people do not agree. People can laugh or hate if they do not like my interests or anything else. I am me and that is all that counts. I do not agree with people just to fit in and be liked. If you do not like me hell that is your problem. I do not need you to like me if you do not want to. The way I see it is its my life I will like and do what I please. Thank you!

I am not the kind of person who will dislike someone because they do not like or agree with something I said. If I say I like photography and you say you dont. Well that’s okay. Does not mean we wont get along. It just means one of our interests dont match. We will find something eventually we agree or like the same. But, I do dislike when people just follow what I say. If you do not agree do not follow what I say. Or if they finish a sentence of mine that I have not finished yet but was about to. Do not act like me. I am mine get your own personality. My life my words. So for you all out there who are scared to be someone else. Dont be. You will be loved for who you are and life will be so much better.

Like this flower? Its a pretty one in my garden that I took today. The weather has been marvelous today. Wow that sure is a big word for me but I guess thats how good the weather has been. Anyways, I am going to chillax and listen to music. Stay happy and do not forget to be yourself. I will like you for who you are. Peace.

About Me Bicycles

Never Give Up

Bicycle_ReflectionI got some good advice to share with you all. I am a gal who is familiar with giving up in the past and wants to inspire you all not to and help you if you need it. I will tell you something I learned from giving up. Want to know what I learned? Well, I learned it got me no where in life. You give up and it will hurt you and can hurt others around you. Life is short. Lets all go forward and succeed. Giving up is never the answer I have learned through my life so far.

Why have I given up in the past? Well, one reason is I thought i could never succeed. Why try and fail right? Well, so you know at least you put effort in it and did the best you can. That is what matters. Another reason I have given up in life is because sometimes for myself I am not doing a good enough job. I sometimes beat myself up to try to be as perfect as I can be and that leads to failure. No one is perfect in life. You just got to accept who you are and know you did the best you could. Do not ever ever ever tell yourself your not good enough. It will surely mess with you and make you unstable in life. One other reason is sometimes it seems easier to just give up. Ah, yes that is what a lot of us can relate with. Just throw everything under the bus right? Eh, seems simple. The thing is it will come back and bite you in the butt. It will sneak up on you and you will panic or regret not going forward with whatever it was you given up on. I admit I have done that lots of times and I still do. I try to think before giving up though now. I try to go forward and give it my all instead of just not trying at all.

So, never give up. That is my inspiring advice I have for the day. One last thing is knowing you have people who care and will help you through any tough situations is important. You are not alone out there. We all go through our giving up stage. We just got to stick with the ones who will lift us up and tell us we can do it. Being around positive people is important. Do not talk or be around people who just put you down. Stay strong. Its your life. You can do it! You can succeed!

Anyways, like the photo? I think its pretty cool. A bicycle and its reflection. It is not my bicycle. It is my friends. Some of you might have not known this about me but I am a bicycler. Not one of those pro bicyclers but I do love riding my bicycle. Just great exercise and lots of fun to go on a path for miles and miles. Let me know what you think of the photo. I am going to relax and listen to some music. I will talk to you all soon. Stay happy and positive. Peace.

Callie Girl

CallieHello world. I do not really feel like writing a long post today so I will just share this lovely photo of Callie with you all. Isnt she adorable? She loves to watch me and see what I am doing.

Unique is Good

CallieKitten I got some exciting news! I got my nikon d40 back today. Yes I did. I am so excited. The minute I got it back in my hands I started taking photos of Callie, my dogs and just anything. I missed it so much that I just can barely put it down now. I love you my nikon d40. My love of my visions.

Now, lets get to the topic of the post. Being unique. Yes, we all know at least one of them and if you do not well now you do. It is not easy being unique. At least from my experiences. I am telling you that I do not fit in easily with people. There are not very many who understand me or take the time to. It is not hard to if you just take the time and observe and listen.

First off for a teenager I definitely do not fit in very well. I am not one of those girly girls and I am very independent. I do not follow all the interests of the other teenagers. They like clothing, makeup, miley cyrus, drugs and etc. Not me. Mine main interests include dogs, photography, bicycling and social media. Those are the interests I surround myself around. I aint interested in talking about clothing for hours or painting my nails. Yea, I guess you can call me partly tom boyish but really I do not fit in that category either. I fit under unique or special.

Another thing is I am not very closed minded. I am open minded on most things. Would you judge a book by its cover? Well, maybe you do but I wouldnt if I was ever going to read a book. I do not judge people by what I see. I give everyone a chance to get a long with me. I do not close my mind on other people’s opinions either. I will let them say what they believe. I am not saying I will agree but it is not like I am going to hate you or something by your thoughts and opinions.

So, to all you unique people out there. Be proud of being unique. You are not alone. There may be very few of us out amd may stand out but that will make us succeed in life. You may feel like no one likes you but I have found some people out there who cherish us. Ones who like unique. Do not give up and do not hide. be yourself and thats all that matters.

So, this photo of Callie was taken with my nikon. Woot! Finally some good quality photos. She is so cute and I just love the angle of this photo. Anyways, I am going to relax and listen to some music. I hope to talk to you all soon. Peace.

animals dogs Lady My Dogs pets Photography

Woof Wednesday

LadyI found out today is a special day for all dogs. While surfing the net in the morning I came across a post. It said National Dog Day. I was like oh my gosh today is national dog day and I did not know? Where have I been? Miss dog lover here and I did not know this. Wake up Anna! So, to all dogs out there, happy national dog day.

Update on my camera. My mom stopped by the store on the way home to see if any progress of getting it back soon was any possibility. She is such a great mother. She made the guy call Nikon and would not leave til he did. They said they finally shipped it out back to the store so hopefully they will get it back one of these days. Which means when they get it back if Nikon did not fix it for them their guy will have to. Sad thing is this guy who fixes the cameras is not there everyday. I hope I get my camera back soon. I am missing my Nikon. I am having separation anxiety from it. My poor Nikon is probably feeling the same way without me. Don’t worry my Nikon you soon will be back in my hands where you belong.

Callie update. Well, Callie is still limping but seems like she is putting a little more weight on the foot now. I am hoping it is not just me wishing and seeing things. If it does not improve more in a couple of days she is going to the vet to make sure nothing is too hurt. My poor little gal. She still loves to be a kitty and play. Loves to keep me up at night with her toys jingling around and jumping on my bed. What a character she is. My little tortie girl.

Its a photo of Lady. My photogenic girl. She is such a beauty. Since its national dog day I just had to put a photo of one of my dogs. I brought her out front and sat her infront of some black eyed susands and just got a shot of her with my camera phone. It came out pretty nice. What do you think?

Anwyays, I am going to enjoy the night. Going to blast some good tunes, chew gum, write poetry, surf the net and talk to peeps. So if you want to talk to me and get into my little world just contact me. You all know how. Stay happy and if you have dogs don’t forget to tell them happy national dog day. Peace to you all.

Me and Oliver

Anna_OliverWhat do I have to share with you all today? Hmm….not much. Nothing really happened today. Same old same old. Just enjoying the last week before school and exploring my imac. I want to learn how to do everything on it. Mac gal for life. Macs are the best and no one can change me of that. Once you go mac you never go back! I can say that a hundred times or more.

I am working on some videos for youtube. Probably going to record my first one tonight from my built in camera on my imac and I will upload it to youtube. Video gal. Love making videos. Still do not have my nikon back! Grr! WTF! Seriously, they better get it back to me or I will go in there and make them sorry. They will never get good reviews from me. Why should they. All they do is not care. Do not mess with a girl like me. I do not act nicely when you mess with my important possessions of my life. No more miss nice gal! I am going mad without my camera.

Moving on, I need to calm down or I am going to smash something into little pieces.  Anyways, isnt the photo cute??? Its me and Oliver! Aww, he is so adorable! Look at my baby boy. I love him so much. He can make me laugh even when I am in the worst mood. You just cant be mad at him.

So, I am going to start my poetry with you all and other just little posts throughout the day of my thoughts and feelings about things. It will be more interactive and alive on this blog. I am going to do my usual night routine and just have fun. Peace out.

bday_cakeCallie! That cat somehow hurt her foot today. Alright so I went down stairs with the dogs for a few minutes to clean the floors and stuff. When I came back upstairs there she was limping towards me. I was like oh my gosh Callie what did you do. This kitty some how hurt her back leg. Oh, Callie Callie Callie! What did I tell you about not getting yourself hurt. Kittens…they just are so curious. I will have to see how it goes. She might just have to go to the vet to get it checked out if it does not get any better. The part that is worrying me is that she is not putting any weight on it. I will keep an eye on her and decide what i need to do about it.

Moving on, ewwww I start school in a week! Noooo! I dont want to think about it. Everyone is like school starts in a week and I am like shutuppp! Luckily, I am a senior. Last year! Unless I decide to get my anti school self into a college. I will have to see. We will talk about that later on in the year. All I want is this year to go well. Make it to graduation. Lets do that. That is really that matters to me right now. College can come later on. If I think about it too much it will just bother me. Yuck. More school. Nah I rather just enjoy senior year and then get out and live life.

I know that cake looks yummy. Sorry it is all gone. My mom and I ate it all. Yes, its in our bellies. Ohhh, it was so good. What? You wanted some? Well you should of asked before I ate it all. I would of shared a tiny piece with you. Anyways, next time I have some cake I will definately share it. But, it was my birthday cake so it went into my belly. I am greedy when it comes to my Carvel ice cream cake.

I hope you all had a nice start of this week. I did. It was easy and relaxing. I just want this week to last a long time before I need to get school in my brain. Lets have fun. Lets talk. Lets be crazy. Partay! Anyways, I am going to jam to some music and have a smile on my face while doing it. So, I will talk to you all soon and have fun! Peace.
