Death by Ramen

Before I get into what I really am here to talk about let me just say how much I love ramen. For me I could care less how processed and unhealthy it is because it is a necessity. I don't know how it is made or what is in it and nor do I really want to know but it's pretty great in general. If you are hungry, eat some ramen. If you are sad, eat some ramen. If you are sick, eat some ramen. There is never a time to not eat it. Ramen is comforting and needs to be present in my life, at all times.

On another note let's get down to business. Every single person I know is attached to their phone and probably wouldn't go anywhere without it, unless your swimming of course. I am even guilty of constantly being on my phone or at least having it with me. Knowing me everything is on my phone, pictures, numbers, music, and apps. I had access to all of these thing until my phone was murdered.

It was just a normal day after school and I was with my friend eating ramen and just chilling. The next thing I know my phone is slapped out of my hand and lands into a full bowl of hot ramen. I was a little surprised and it took me a minute to realize what had happened but it was too late. My phone had already gone through hell and was cracked and pieces of glass were missing and landing in the broth was the last straw. It was pretty upsetting put me in not the best mood. Yes, I laughed pretty hard but at the same time I wanted to cry. It may seem a little extreme and all but if you were in the same position as me I bet you would feel the same way.

BOOM!! Everything is gone and I need start spending less money and food and start saving for a new phone. Scratch that I should probably spend no money because a new phone is expensive (thanks Apple). Thank god I was smart enough to keep my old phone, but it still isn't great. My old phone is also broken so I can only text. Awesome.

Anyways at the end of the day social media is the way of communication. Nothing will change that, at least for now. After thinking about it and looking at the bigger picture I am somewhat thankful that I don't have apps keeping my constantly attached to my phone. Actually talking to people and having to go out of your way in order to hang out with them is pretty cool.

wake up

I would like to apologize in advance for another post on the more sad and realistic side of things. If you have been reading my blog I recently wrote a post called "This Ones For You." If you haven't read it, it's about my friend who is in a coma and how bad things happen to good people. Well, he still hasn't woken up yet and everyday new injuries and problems are found which makes it a little harder for him to keep fighting. Now it has just become a waiting game until he wakes up. For me, I think Benny waking up would be a miracle. That's just it though not everyone gets a miracle but we all have to wake up at some point.

If you just take a minute and sit back and watch the people around you, no one stops. Everyone just keeps going and pushing without taking a breathe and noticing their surroundings. When something traumatic happens in someones life, then they stop. The point of me talking about taking the time to notice is because we all need to wake up. We need to wake up to reality before it catches up with us. Yes, I realize we are still young and don't have a lot to worry about but either way something will happen. So, let's wake up now and take action instead of being part of the movement because life is worth living.

I don't really have a valid reason to be annoyed with subject but I am. I bet more than half the people I know or have ever met think that there is only one meaning of waking up. They think that it means an act or instance of waking up. Yes, if you look it up that is the definition that will appear but whatever I made a different definition.

As I was finishing writing this I received a call and Benny woke up!! It's amazing that he woke up but I do know that it is going to a long and hard road ahead of him. We are all so lucky to be healthy and have the sense and opportunities to change. So, in conclusion, I think that it is so important to realize what needs to be done and take care of the people around you. As of right now this may not make the most sense but in the end waking up to reality is something that is better to do now than have it happen because something bad happens to someone you love.

Call Me Grace

Of course getting hurt as much as I do my mother has decide "Grace" is my new name due to how graceful I am. You obviously haven’t met me if you don’t know that I am accident prone. I am the one person in a group of people that can’t even walk in a straight line. I tend to hurt myself somehow, someway on a daily basis. There are so many stories and examples that I could share but I am going to stick with the most basic and funniest things that have happened to me so far. Before I go into detail I first need to admit that one of my main problems is not being aware of my surroundings. One last thing I need to say is be prepared for the stupidity. Now that I have that off my chest I can now move on. 

Throwback to 4th grade:

From what I remember it was just the beginning or right after winter due to the snow and ice on the playground. Knowing my fourth grade self I was always trying to one up someone else and be the cool kid in school. For me that never really worked, it always ended badly. Getting back to the story… I was on the playground playing on the railing of the bouncy blue bridge covered in ice. I was there probably everyday during recess flipping around the railing like a boss. However this is a different story because the boys were there and I really don’t know what I was thinking. I made the final decision and flipped just like I had a million times before, except this time I slipped. This resulting in me slamming my face right into the bar. The lesson that I took from this is I look good with a shiner, it shows the real stud I was. 

Fell off that mailbox like a pro

Curbed it:

The sun is setting and we were waiting for everyone to get ready for dinner. I was chilling with all of the little children on the playground in the sand in California. After I was about to do the monkey bars again my mom yelled for everyone to come inside so we can go. Being my usual self I got over excited about getting food that I completely forgot about the curb. Ohhh the curb. In a full on sprint back to the house I trip over the curb and faceplate into the sidewalk. Since we were on the beach I wasn’t wearing shoes which made the whole thing so much better. I freaked out and decided to just lay there and cry until someone came and got me. One point for me, go team khakis. 

No date for this:

I can’t explain exactly the time, day, year, or who I was with when this took place because it has happened on multiple occasions. Both times that this has happened I was laughing super hard and needed to get to my bathroom. It starts off with me running from outside through the front door and trying to make it to the stairs without hurting myself. Then once I have made it halfway up the stairs and miss one. After missing it I aug at myself so hard I pee my pants. 

In conclusion I’m pretty sure you either think that I am either really dumb or funny. I could have most definitely came up with more great stories of things that have happened to me. I had a fun time writing this and I think that being accident prone is a good thing because it makes a lot of really great memories.
