Just a Dream // Carrie Underwood & It Happens // Sugarland

Man.. this song is STUCKK in my head! So true too!

So i'm sittin' here at work - bored. Today's not even a day i work. -___-" Whatever though. Family come's first right? Shucks... I was planning on going riding with Leslie today too. Little grey arabian mare I'm looking forward to meet next time I go with her to the stables. They've never taken her ridin' so they don't know how she is on trail. I wonder if they'll let me ride her after Lady, the little grey arabian, gets her hooves trimmed.

So lets see... Oh. My ex showed up at bowling on Tuesday. Not many of you know this but a few buddies and I go bowling EVERY Tuesday. Well, almost every Tuesday. Anyway, one of the buddies that always goes is Tim - my ex's bro. We always grab some Rubio's fish tacos before we head over to the alley and after I make reservations. It's cool, the guy remembers me there now. :D I bought him a fish taco too. Hahaha. Anyway, yeah.. Bowling was alright. Just sorta bugged me that he was there. I saw his bro walk over to his car and I was like - whatever. So Amador and I headed into the alley when I looked up and BAM. He was just standing there. I like froze in the middle of taking another step forward, stepped backward a bit, shook my head a lil, and continued to walk to the counter where the guy was like, "Oh! Sarah, right?" Eric the ex also said, "What? You make it look like you're suprised to see me." when I did my little deer in the headlights look. Yeah, I WAS suprised to see him.

Oh, I ALSO forgot to mention. Eric found my blogspot. Who knows how he did it, but he did. So Eric if you're reading this... that's not cool. -___-" However, i'm sure you enjoyed reading whatever I wrote about you from before. Sorry to say, but i'm not gonna edit anything, or start censoring myself because I know you read my posts. I'm going to keep pretending you don't know. I'm actually waiting for you to grow the balls and start commenting on my posts(:

Okay, class. I lied. Well, a little. I honestly WAS sick though. Instead of going to class yesterday, I drove down to Camp Pendleton to have lunch with Nick and his shop. Hahaha... it was an.. interesting experience. Professor Hsiao, I know you read this too. And i'm sorry. I found some of those little chewable pills Nick gave me for my hangover while I was at work and that took the rest of my sickness right out the window. I don't remember why they're in my glove compartment... oh well. However, I DO believe in karma.

My sister called in sick to work and went snowboarding with her boyfriend and two other friends. On her way back down the mountain, she, out of all the others, got to hit the lucky spot of back ice. Her car slid, turned, and she hit a gas tanker. Freak accident right? But luckily she hit the front tire and the car MISSED the whole tank until it hit the rear tire of the truck. Whew - no? Well, her car was titled totaled. Something about a chassis? The impact was at a slow speed, the tanker was full of gas (thank GOD they missed - spark + full tanker w/ 2 trailors = DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN), and bleh. yeah. Sorry - i lost my train of thought. There's a guy inf ront of the shop in the parking lot and i SWEAR he's peeing in the bushes! I know, I know. You're thinkin' i'm a pervert for watching but.. dude - it's like RIGHT in front of me. >___<

Oh right, back to the karma thing. So she got a new car (09 Acura TSX), but likes you know.. karma. She called into work sick, and her car got messed up. I called into class sick (which I actually really was - no joke. but 4 o'clock came w/ them pills and i was just dandy again), and now i'm stuck at work and not being able to go riding. T____T you guys KNOW I love them horses<3

I dunno. the thought of investing into one just.. blehs me. Maybe I should've bought that horse two summers ago, or accepted those free offers on a horse. Meh.

*Yawn* So i'm tired. Nick had duty Monday and I was tryin' to stay up on the phone with him. I failed pretty badly though. Rofl. Tuesday I went to class in the morning, came home, talked to Leslie about the horses at the stables, went to Aaron's house (guy in my phil class in the morning. also the same room as hsaio's class) to bake cupcakes (that came out flat or lopsided. ROFL.), went to pick up Amador to go bowling... blah blah blah you read that stuff earlier.

OMG after bowling, Tim and his friend James invited James' friend who brought pot and they were smoking it and I was getting disgusted by it and the security guard walked up and was like, "You guys can't smoke that stuff here. You gotta go to the back and do it." And they were like, "Oh shit, alright. Sorry man." And Amador was like, dude, wanna get outta here? and i was like, TOTALLY.

So yeah... Just had to take Amador home so I got home pretty early. About 2330? 11:30PM, guys. -__-" learn your military time.

Uh.. so yeah.. that was about it... weds woke up was like feelin' sick.. went to class... talked to the professor, offered my help if he ever needed it (some static nerve gone bad and he had crutches so I was a bit worried), came home.. slept. Did hw, slept. found pills. nick called... blah blah blah.


OMG OMG OMG. SO LIKE. ughhhhh! my friend Jesse, officially has sworn into the marine corps. < / 3 I begged him not to... but he did.. I was like crying in the car drivin' home from work yesterday. All the memories just like.. FLOODED me. All the emotions... and it wasn't helpin' that my ipod was playin' all these military songs and crap. T_____T

Carrie Underwood's song "Just a Dream" was something I could feel as if I could relate to. Except.. it makes me think of Eric. That was his ringtone. The part of the song where she sings, "Then they handed her a folded up flag and she held on to all she had left of him. Oh, and what could've been. Then the guns rang, one last shot, and it felt like a bullet in her heart..."

Eric had been on the list to deploy and I was scared. I was afraid - I admit it. All the mental stress you get from being put into a whole new enviornment? *Sigh* It ain't easy. Anyway... yeah. The song, it's quite a beautiful song... sad, but beautiful. And quite popular with them military wives. They know what it's like to lose their husband overseas and hoping that when they get the news, all of it is just really a dream. A very bad dream. Have a listen some time. It made me cry and STILL makes me cry.

I mean think of it. The news of people dying overseas is old to us. We just sit there and go, "oh, that sucks." and just go on with our own lives. You don't think about the families and people affected by that death. I see all of it. and the emotion drives me insane...

Uhh.. I'll be back soon.. i'll just publish it as the other post. Time to close up shop and head home...


Support our troops - not the ones that mislead them.
Every single one.
Every death affects a person - good OR bad.
Our soldiers need our support. Even the asshole ones.

Gotta go. Peace.
