Hide Yo KIDS!

So there's a local band in Pittsburgh that's amaazzzinnngggg- Fountain Infinity. I've had the pleasure of meeting them through one of my friends. Check them out!! They're awesome https://www.facebook.com/fountain.infinity

I knew that some of my followers would really enjoy this video... I mean who doesn't love a little Antoine in their lives???

They played at the Hard Rock Cafe in January (I unfortunately wasn't able to make their show- was actually flying back from NYC at the time!) but I'm pretty upset I missed it!!!

Check it out on their youtube page. Guarantee you won't be disappointed: Fountain Infinity: Bed Intruder

Every New Day!

Today I did an hour of cardio at the gym.

Gooooooooooooooooooo me!!!

(sorry I was kinda proud of myself)

AND not only that, but I met my calorie goal too!

Today was an all around good day :)

On my drive home this song came on. I had my ipod on shuffle and honestly I haven't listened to it in sooooo long. Takes me back to high school. Not sure where I ran across this song, but I loved it. I think after listening to it like 500 times I then finally realized it was a Christian song. hahaha I loved this song and 'Oh, Canada' by Five Iron Frenzy.



Peace, Love and Treadmills!!

ps. 25 days til Brad comes home to visit! YAY! :)

New Year, New Moments!

2010 was a year of extreme changes in my life. I really turned my life upside down and decided I was going to take my actions into my own hands and make a change. I really started on a new me. I've been trying to work on the things that I really didn't like about myself and to strengths the my strengths ;)

I started going hard at the gym and really went solid from Jan to August. Something happened in September and since then I really haven't been dedicated. I even lost all my gym buddies at work *tear* That's all changing. My goal this spring is to run a 5k. I'm determined to get back to the gym, start eating healthier and get on track to run a 5k! 

Now some of you seasoned runners may be like pshhh a 5k, that's nothing. WELL, it is something to me. I've never been a runner. I always had knee problems, then hip problems and now I'm on to my back. :-/ I want to prove to myself that I can run! I can do it! I cannnn!!

One of my friends keeps an amazing blog... she talks about eating healthy, exercising and really living the best life you can possibly live. Every post she writes really motivates me and Ag you're really gonna help me in this one! Check out her blog Ag's CRON Life Blog Honestly, if you get a moment to check out her blog you should. She's so motivating and uplifting - it's really great to have people in your life who are positive!!

Soooo anyways....
Nicki Minaj released her new video with Drake this week 'Moment for Life'. I know that Nicki has always said she wanted to be regarded as an actress first and then a singer, but I'm not sure how I feel about the beginning of this video. I love the song though and I actually really do like the rest of the video. It's hard for me to be turned off by Nicki because I think she's pretty awesome....



This video really calls me to right now. I kinda feel like I'm Nicki in this video right now in my life... everything just seems to be going so perfectly :)

Peace, Love and Moments ;)

Walking in Pittsburgh :)

Haha kinda corny, but cute :)

It was crazy snowy.

True Life: I'm Moving to NYC

So I feel like my life was a movie today. If it was, I even know what music I'd have picked out for the different scenes.

Scene 1 - My taking me to the airport

I believe I would have had Katy Perry's Fireworks playing. It's just a happy, fun song that I feel like it would have been appropriate.

Scene 2 - Delay at the Airport

The song I'd pick out for this scene would be 'Waiting For' by Peter Gelderblom.

Scene 3 - Arrive in New York
'The World Is Mine' by David Guetta (you knowwwww, MY ANTHEM!!) most definitely. I could definitely see it playing as I was walking off the plane with a huge smile on my face. I walked down to baggage claim and my bags were already out on the belt. As soon as I took them off a man came over and assisted me with getting my luggage on a cart and getting me a taxi. It honestly couldn't have gone smoother. And I loved the man working the taxis who said 'You must be moving to the city with all that luggage' and I just laughed. He proceeded to then say 'Welcome to the City. Enjoy your life!'.

Scene 4 - Driving in the Taxi to my Apartment
I don't even need to pick a song because I believe the song that was playing was perfect. Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing' was playing and the cabbie was jamming to it. It was honestly perfect and, I won't lie, I totally got choked up and teary eyed. I was texting my friend Iwona and everything just hit me all at once- that this was real. I was really driving to my new apartment. That I was really going to live here. That I was really going to be living in the city that I'd always dreamt of.

Scene 5 - The Apartment/Concierge
First State's 'My Sanctuary'. Within an hour of being at my new apartment I managed to make the management office pissed off and become friends with Jose the Concierge. Haha

Scene 6 - The Ikea Treck
Well. Jose told me to take 3 different subway trains and then to walk 20 minutes to Ikea. I wasn't too thrilled to do that off the bat so I tried to get a cab. 2 to be exact. And both of them told me they wouldn't take me there. So I said, suck it up. Ya gotta try it. And I headed down into the subway. I believe a good song to play at this point would be Tiesto's 'Driving to Heaven'. Because I feel like it would capture all the hustling people scurrying around in the snow at rush hour and also would get in all the passing trains down below the city. Well, after successfully taking 3 different trains (and only managing to stand and wait 10 minutes for a wrong one -but I realized before I got on it that it was wrong) I ended up in Brooklyn.... and got totally LOST. A good song to play at this moment would probably be 'Brooklyn's Finest' by Jayz. Just because when I think of Brooklyn that song always plays in my head.

Scene 7- Getting home
Probably 'All I've Ever Wanted' by BassHunter.

Yay!! Good First Day!

Peace, Love, and NYC <3

Interesting Day.

So, today my plan was to get up, head to NYC, buy furniture and start to set up my new room :)
My plans have been greatly diverted as NYC is currently getting like 12 inches of snow. Of course! Of course they would. Why wouldn't there be a big snow storm the day I'm trying to move? haha

It's funny because Brad is half way around the world and we were supposed to have our flights at the same time- mine at noon and his at 7pm- but that's not happening. I'm sitting at the gate and they're saying it's a 3 hour delay, but I have a feeling this flight it going to get completely canceled.

Oh well. Nothing I can really do at the current moment. It's just the beginning of my adventure :)

There is this lady sitting at the gate who is totally dressed to the 9's. She has high black heels on, this black coat with white ruffles around the wrists and neck line and this glittery headband. She's probably in about her 50's and she's currently on her mac and checking her iphone 4. Totally can tell she's from NYC. It's funny because as I sit here I could totally see myself become someone like that. Haha, but let's be honest. My budget will be more like the sunglasses and headbands found in china town, not the ones on 5th ave.

It's sooooooo weird I'm actually doing this. I've always dreamt of this, but never thought it'd come true. As I was packing my 2 suitcases to bring with me I kept weighing them to make sure they wouldn't be over 50 pounds. When I got here and put them up on the scale they both were EXACTLY 50! haha it worked out perfectly.

There are these 3 girls sitting across from me right now getting so excited for their trip to Europe. They're going to study abroad in France and they're waiting for their flight to get over there. It takes me immediately back to when Iwona, Anna Marie and I were sitting in the Chicago airport waiting for our flight to Europe. And come to think of it I actually was wearing the exactly hoodie I have on right now when we were going to Europe. Haha so weird. As I'm sitting here remember all the amazing times I had over there I can't help but think how blessed and lucky I am to have all the opportunities I've had in life. I'd never trade my study abroad experience for anything in the entire world. I wish I could go back and do it all over again. I can't wait to have kids and take them over there and let them experience what I experienced. I think that everyone MUST go and experience different cultures and see how other people live. It really puts life in perspective.

Well- I'll update, but as it looks right now who knows when I'll actually make it up to NYC! Ha may only be going up next weekend at this rate.

Oh wellllllll. When in life is anything easy? It's taken me 25 years to get to this point.... what's a few more hours?

My pick for this post is a Tiesto song that was released back in the fall- Speed Rail


Peace, Love and STOP SNOWING!!
