Winter Is Coming...In Game of Thrones that is

So excited!!!!! Can't wait for the 4th season premier of Game of Thrones, it's been too damn long. On my facebook I had started a 30 day countdown with a favorite quote of mine each day from Game of Thrones (6 more days by the way) and it honestly helped the days go by faster. Yes...I know...I'm pretty obsessed.

Anyways there's this youtube channel I've been viewing recently that centers around Game of Thrones and the guy who does the videos actually revealed a very interesting theory that Ned Stark's bastard, the sexy Jon Snow, may not even be his bastard, but may be his sister Lyanna's son!

Jon Snow

If you just watch the show, in the first few episodes you learn briefly about Robert's rebellion and what sort of kick-start it was the supposed 'kidnap' of Lyanna Stark by Rhaegar Targaryean who was betrothed to Robert Baratheon. Her eldest brother Brandon went straight to kingslanding to pop off on Rhaegar. Rhaegar's crazy ass daddy, the Mad King Aerys, imprisoned him and his men and summoned their fathers to kill them all together. So near the end of the rebellion Ned got to Lyanna too late when she was passing which in the book it said she was on a bed with blue roses (where do you just find blue roses???) and blood and told Ned "promise me..." which in the first book that last moment always crosses his mind.

Lyanna Stark

Rhaegar Targaryen

The scene where they first laid eyes on each other

So the scene where she's in a bed full of blood could be from childbirth and most likely told Ned to promise her to raise Jon as his own to protect him. Ned Stark is known as an honorable man so it seems so unlikely that he would marry Catelyn and screw some other woman and just bring some bastard to his castle which is really disrespectful.

I really had to help share this theory with people, it got me so excited and I couldn't help it. DON'T JUDGE ME!! lol

Aristotle Said, "A Friend To All Is A Friend To None"

That quote couldn't be more true. I'm very weary of people who have 'many' friends; it isn't possible. I have quite a few and it's draining in it's own way so I can't imagine having many. Friendships are relationships that need nourishing, it's a garden the way I see it and not one person alone can take care of a big ass garden!

There are only 10 people I call my friends. 4 out of that 10 I consider my close friends and only 1 is my best friend. I have had friends that had many friends and they weren't good friends. 

Obviously I'm writing this post for a reason. I lost a few friends these past 2 years that I considered to be very close with, but when certain situations arisen, they didn't come through and it was a deep loss. I never thought losing a friend would hurt so much because I never really lost a friend out of the blue. You have friends that time and distance gets in between, but this wasn't the case. 

It definitely makes you re-evaluate everything and reflect, however makes you stronger and appreciate the friends that you do have and be more grateful. One of the people I consider a close friend of mine once told me that he was sad because he only has two people he can really call a friend. I told him to count his blessings because there're people who hang out with an abundance of friends and none they can really lean on.

Salut! Salut!

Wow it's been a long time, a very long time since I wrote on my beloved blog, but I'm back and I will try my darnest to write way more frequently than last year. Isn't it cray cray how time flies faster every year you get older as if the days are just slipping through your fingers? It's such a rush! and not always a good one.

Anywho, life has been life for me. Was 2013 a good year for me? Not exactly, however I've learned and grown from what I had to go through and it changed me for the better. I've learned a while back that what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger and it was rather rough yet beautiful. You always have to seek the beauty in every situation, it's the only way you can break through. 

Oh and by the way! I got a new hairdo ya'lll! I did my big chop and lovin' it :-)

"Love Songs" Play-list

Here's ten of my favorite love songs. Enjoy! <3

"Terrified" by Kara DioGuardi
You, by the light, is the greatest find
In a world, full of wrong, you're the thing that's right
Finally made it, through the lonely, to the other side
You set it again, my heart's in motion
With every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I-I-I-I'm in love, I'm in love
And I-I-I-I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time/In my only life...

"Lucky" by Jason Mraz and Colbie Cailat 
Do you hear me, talking to you?
Across the water, across the deep, blue
Ocean, under the open sky
Oh my, baby I'm trying...
Boy I hear you, in my dreams
I hear your whisper, across the sea
I keep you with me, in my heart
You make it easier when life get's hard...

"More Than Words" by Extreme
...Now that I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes and just reach out your hand
And touch me, hold me close and don't ever let me go!
More than words, is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I already know...

"Is This Love" by Bob Marley
...Is this love, is this love, is this love that I'm feeling
Is this love, is this love, is this love that I'm feeling
Oh yes I know, yes I know, yes I know now
Oh yes I know, yes I know, yes I know now
I-I-I-I I'm willing and able, so I throw my cards on your table...

"1+1" by Beyonce
If I ain't got nothing, I got you!
If I ain't got something, I don't give a damn, 'cause I got it with you!
And I ain't no much 'bout algebra, but I know that 1 plus 1 equals 2!
And it's me and you
That's all we'll have when the world is through!...

"I Will Possess Your Heart" by Death Cab For Cutie
How I wish you can see the potential
The potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound, but
In a language that you can't read just yet...

"Teach Me How To Love" by Musiq
...Ain't nobody ever took the time to try to teach me what love was, but you
And I ain't never trusted no one enough to tell me what to do
Teach me how to really show it and
Show me how to really love you baby
Teach me, please just show me
'Cause I'm willing, to let go of my fears
Girl I'm serious, about all that I've said
'Cause I wanna love you, with all of my heart
Baby show me where to start...

"Like A Star" by Corinne Bailey Rae
....You've got this look I can't describe
You make me feel like I'm alive
When everything else is a fade
Without a doubt you're on my side
Heaven has been away too long
Can't find the words to write this song
Oh, your love... 

"Forever Love" by Anna Nalick
...When you smile with those eyes
Baby it's like you placed a finger on my heart
And your lips next to mine
Make me think that maybe  heaven is where you are...

"Everytime" by Britney Spears
...Everytime I try to fly, I fall
Without my wings, I feel so lost
I guess I need you baby
Everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, haunting me
I guess I need you baby...

Sims and The Real World

So as of late January, I have been unemployed. It sucks because I money supply is low, but I have been applying like crazy and had two great interviews last week - which I hope was great - anyways what I have been doing with my time is playing Sims 3 and for those who play and love the game know that I have tried to stop playing to do more productive things, but I can't...and really don't want to...ahhhh this game is 'the business'.

I've been playing this game since the very first one came out back in the late 90s or 00s, but when I was at my previous job I never had the time to play it and that was over a year. Now I'm back to playing it and regret it because that's all I wanna do hahaha.

For the people who were teens or kids in the 90s, do you remember that game "Oregon Trail"? Well for those who never played Sims and know what I'm talking about, it's sort of like that. Basically the goal of the game is to keep them alive (duh) and most importantly fulfill their lifetime goals and wants. And playing this game made me realize that the same effort I put in to get these damn sims the level in the career track they desire; I should be applying this to MY life, working day-and-night so they can prosper, be comfortable, and die fulfilled. I worry sometimes that this want happen for me.

One thing I will admit now is that yes, I am lazy, but there are reasons I am. My childhood wasn't really a childhood and I didn't have fun as a teen either, I had to make a lot of personal sacrifices well into my early 20s (present) so in a sense I deserve to be lazy goddammit, in my mind things should be coming to me, not me to them, but I know truthfully that it won't #lifeblows.

Anyways I'm in temporary slump now, and that's what Sims are for hahahaha....for now :-).

Au Revoir Charleston!

Today is my last day of vacation *sigh*. I'll be leaving Charleston tomorrow morning and will arrive in the Big Apple at night. I'm going to miss this place, but not the people, ugh!. Charleston is very beautiful, but the people - mainly the white people - are rude. When we went downtown the looks that came our way were ridiculous. There are very few racist people I've encountered in New York, but no match for ol' Chucktown.

What I mainly love about Charleston is the country aspect because deep down I'm an outdoors girl; I love to be surrounded by trees, plants and flowers, taking deep breaths of fresh air, however I love the convenience of a city where everything is at reach. 

Anyways, I'll see about uploading some pics when I get back home, for some reason my sd card is too big for laptops *sighs*.



Catch ya later :-)
