Good Eats/Falling for Fall
Epiphany: I have come to the realization that I will never complete this 30 day challenge because frankly I don’t like it. I thought of just deleting my account but decided to try and just write freely. If that fails me I will tumble no more.
These last two days I have baked a chocolate cake drizzled with spun sugar and a pizza from scratch. Along with that I have cooked chicken curry, veal and steak. As well as eating a mixed over rice from good ole’ C&R. On my walk up to the best halal in New York, I realized how much I am basking in this beautiful fall. I have a giant pumpkin in the window waiting to be carved and have more than enjoyed my share of both candy and caramel apples.
Oh I feel like I’m falling for fall. Im not prevaricating. Nor am I exaggerating. Fall has got me in its grasp. It must be said.
Autumns such a pleasant season
You must see all the trees in.
Their blazing colors: orange, gold and red.
Should I write fall a love letter,
Telling how I feel better,
Every time the season comes around each year.
Or maybe I’ll just go on
‘bout how nature puts a show on
As a prelude to all kinds of holiday cheer!!!
I feel like I’m falling for fall
These are feelings of elation
Mixed with some anticipation
When I think of all the fun there is in store!!!
And my heart just goes to thumpin’
Thinkin ‘bout piles of leaves I’ll jump in
Its no wonder that it’s autumn I adore!!! -
Day 16 - Another picture of yourself
This was taken on my 18th birthday.
I realized I have missed many a day and thought of giving up but decided I might as well resume my tumblings whilst away at college.

Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you recently
Dear Future Self,
Knock some sense into present day you before you destroy yourself! You procrastinate, stay up to late, and are unproductive. Grow up already and take control of life.
Utterly Yours,
Yourself.
I don’t think anyone has hurt me recently which is good except for of course myself. Halfway through writing this I thought to go back and address both future self and past self as I could just tell my previous self to cut it out and get myself together however then I remembered Back to the Future and if I change the past I change the future and quickly revised my letter. WHEW, crisis averted.

Day 12- How you found out about Tumblr and why you made one
I found out about Tumblr through my friends tumblings on Facebook and such. I made one figuring I could vent, catch up with my best friend as I haven’t seen him this whole summer and he uses Tumblr more than he calls. (YES you Ralphy!) I also have made blogs before but never blogged and thought this might actually work. So far it’s half worked.

Day 10- Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad
Before I start off on my list I would like to address my followers - all three of you - and apologize for not updating.
I have over 14 GB of music on my PC and much more where that came from so I will try to stick with just a song or two for each but count on each becoming an entire shower length* playlist.
Happy - Scenes from an Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel (Anything that can denote a childhood memory is good) Kiss is on my list - Hall & Oates, Almost any other #1 hit by Hall & Oates and or Billy Joel specifically River of dreams. Jack & Diane - Mellencamp
Sad - Let Her Cry - Hootie & the Blowfish, Help Yourself - Sad Brad Smith, Let it Be - The Beatles
Bored - Anything, this is the point where I just click shuffle. Although here are a few songs I might just choose to start off the shuffle with.
Aisle 10 - Scapegoat Wax (though most know it as the JSRF song)
I want to break free - Queen
Shotgun Willie - Willie Nelson
Hyped - Detroit Rock City - Kiss (I have a feeling I am just choosing this as I watched a Gene Simmons marathon the other day on A&E albeit it fits the category well)
Mad - master of puppets - Metallica ( i like metallica and couldn’t think of any really mad songs, I don’t have mad songs but I guess this fits and I might listen to this when I am hyped and or mad.)
*shower length = approx. 35- 45 min.
Disclaimer - My showers can be as short as 5 minutes or less but whenever I am in a listening to music shower mood I take extra long and then just stand in there for a while to finish up the playlist.
At some point in the future I hope to refine this because when I do anything with music I have to do it well.

Day 09- Something you’re proud of in the past few days
I have improved my Halo skills. I now average 4 kills a game.
On a side note I also happened to make thee best fried chicken with mac and cheese and homemade biscuits the other day.
