Cop lights, flash lights, spot lights, strobe lights, street lights.

My Michael Vick attempt. 

When I was fifth grade my best friend, Amanda, had a birthday party. This was around the time that Ms. Congeniality had come out and beauty pageants were all the craze. Every one wanted to be Sandra Bullock and all of us were very excited to put on prom dresses and make up. Of course her birthday party had to consist of a beauty pageant. We've come a long way from then. I'll let you in on our costume party we had last night in just a bit. Continuing with Amanda's party- Amanda, Jenn, Megan, Ashton and myself were all there. Sorry if I forgot someone....it was a long time ago and I have no pictures to recollect memories from. I was Miss Florida and for my talent I sang to Nelly Furtado's Turn off the Lights. It was a train wreck into an oil rig. Need I say more? Well Amanda will never let me live that down and last night I was thinking about this. I thought last night that it would be really funny if I decided to pull a prank on my friends and turn off the lights and then run to the corner and hide with Amanda under the couch as we both laughed uncontrollably. What am I, eight? I would say twelve... But I had a blast and I was happy that even after so long I can still keep pulling pranks and jokes on my friends and they're still there. Like my mom has always told me, I've always been the instigator of trouble I just tend to get away with what I do with a smile and all is forgiven.

Ke$ha?

Soooooo let the party begin! Sarah Maria had her 19th birthday party last night!! whooop whooop! After a long week and having to do so much at last minute especially poor Jenn and Amanda it all came through.  Amanda went as Ke$ha; Jennifer went as the infamous Miley Cyrus and yes, she's infamous; Sarah was an extremely seductive Cat Woman; and I was a football player. I tried my hardest to look like a real football player but all I got out of it was "cute". I can't complain much seeing that I got pulled over that night and I'm certain my outfit and pig tails saved me from getting a ticket. Thank the lord I'm a girl! I'm happy so many people showed to it and we all had fun. Birthdays have always been special days for me. When I was little I would start counting down for my birthday 6 months in advance. I still kind of do that I'm just not as nagging as I was before. My parents have to love me and accept me even when I remind them of my birthday everyday for the next 180 days. With my friends, I'll start the count down in July!

Untamed. 

I think birthdays are one of those things that are almost religious to me. I love birthdays. They're the kind of things that I love to go all out for. I will buy balloons and makes cakes and just do just about anything just to keep the special day as special as it can be.If you are my friend and I love you then what better day to express all that love then on the day you were born? Without that day, you would have never existed and without your existence I would have never been as happy as I am now that I have you by my side. It's a special day. It's a day where you look at the birthday boy/girl and remember just how much that person has changed your life. Then you realize that on that exact day however many years ago that person was born and now they've made it into your life to make you and keep you happy. This is why I love birthdays. It's a constant reminder of all the people I love and make me happy in life and I would love to return all the happiness. There are 340,500 births a day around the world. That means that each day your probabilities of finding happiness or meeting someone who will make you happy grows each day. Should people still be sad in the world then?

 Of course, life gets shitty every now and then. But I think with so many births a day, love should be up in the air more often and being happy is no longer a choice or an option; it's an essential part of our lives. We all deserve to be happy. So just as I was ecstatic about Sarah's birthday and her birthday celebrations; I am just as ecstatic about everyone who is celebrating a birthday today, tomorrow or soon. Just  as I did not know Sarah up until this year, maybe happiness is out there you just haven't been to enough birthday parties to find it yet.

This one is to you Miss Sarah!!! Happy Birthday, babygirl!!
