the Birthday Blues, or A non-foodie posting

I turn 25 today.

Holy cow, I'm a quarter of a century old.

These last few days I've been continuiously questioning what I've done with my life. There are people who, at my age, are already professionally successful. I was just reading the latest McLean's where they featured the best, brightest and youngest that Canada has to offer. I see their story, I see they're 23, 24, 25,...and as the Birthday Blues overtake me, I begin to question if I'm a total failure.

I mean, I'm 25, and I work part time at a fashion jewellery store, peddling pieces of metal to teenagers. I've been trying to break into the entertainnment/news business, with little success, for two years. I know I have potential, but I feel like somtimes I'm constantly running into a brick wall,and when I try to back track, another wall appears. As someone else once wrote (about being a twenty-somthing)"...and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!"

But I realize that if I start thinking this way, I'll self destruct. Perhaps this is my quarter-life crisis.

Let's look at what I have done in the last 7 years: I've moved to the Boston, earned two bachelor's degrees,found my first boyfriend, built myself a close knit group of friends, dumped my first boyfriend, had my first apartment, had my second internship, found my first job, had my second apartment, got my first promtion, spent my first christmas away from home and at work, quit my first job, moved to canada, found my third apartment, made another group of friends, worked on my first film, worked on my second film, met a wonderful man to call my boyfriend, had my sister move in with me, found my fourth apartment, became an AD, found my first retail job, spent my second christmas alone,started taking classes so I can start my own business, celebrated one year with my new boyfriend, and here I am, 25 years old.

I realized nowhere in my life did I fail. I'm simply not taking the graduate-job-married route.I had hoped to be an assistant producer by the time I'm this age. but maybe that's not where I'm supposed to me. Life has a weird, weird way of working out for me. And while I love the "business" maybe it's not where I'm meant to be. But by no means am I giving up my TV dreams. While being a hot shot TV sports producer would be fabulous, equally fabulous would be to have my own business, or to be a food writer that can rival, in my own little world, Nigella Lawson.

Here are my resolutions for the next year, out in the open so I'll be accountable to everyone who reads this.

I will start GingerLily, my jewellery company.

I will treat my body better then how I'm treating it now.

I will not turn down opportunies that come my way, nor will I stop creating opportunites for myself.

I will worry less what i think others think of me and listen to my heart more often.

I will not conform to someone else's idea of a career, or life.

I will write more, especially about things I care about.

At 25, I really will start dancing like no one's watching.

I will not stop having dreams, and will constantly try to fulfill them.

Oh heck, I'm only 25!! I'll have my cake and eat it too!!

What about the possibility of pulling out of Iraq, letting Iran invade and lose resources fighting their own kind,
and then come in and mop up the dregs?

Closed lanes on a highway demand unconventional r‚clame and driver courtesy.
Some drivers transfer be tabled until the matrix reasonable twinkling of an eye and take on to press into see trade in advance of the lane closes.
Other drivers call to be au fait that these drivers are a specific hazard to the flow of traffic. Attempts to design such unsympathetic drivers may lead to other more nasty consequences, such as driver confrontations or multiple car crashes.
All drivers take a job to get used to their speed in status to allow gaps an eye to merging traffic. If drivers decently elbow-room their following stretch, these adjustments last will and testament be negligible and importantly valid to the lubricate well forth of traffic. If you are traveling in the right lane and you technique a freeway onramp, you should be posted that other above may try to amalgamate either in front of you or behind you.
If you can, it is finest to affect out of the right lane to concede these vehicles easier entrance.
More tips on defensive driving will follow.
