I read this yesterday morning and well I've often thought about the exact same things so thought to post a link to the whole interesting post.
Here is one of the comments that well it rang right home since I used to be one of those people:

There’s also another problem, very similar but not as often recognized: putting your happiness in other people. People will not always do what you want, nor will they always fulfill your expectations. When you expect another person to come along and MAKE you happy, it’ll never happen. You have to be able to enjoy yourself. A person uncomfortable with being alone either has some “need” issues… or doesn’t much like themselves. And if you don’t like the person you’ll be spending every waking hour (sleeping ones too, come to think of it) with, why are you hanging out with him? Time to make peace with yourself or change the things you don’t like.

Which isn’t to say that other people won’t make you happier. Friends, family, and lovers make your life infinitely better. They can’t MAKE you happy though.

happy reading:P

world goes round and round

So much has been happening , though it has been quite seamless I think....
I've been sick, well I think week four has just started and it seams that the symptoms change on a daily basis, one day stomach fly, one day feeling ok, one day of sinus hell, one day ok, one day of chills, one ok day, one day of coughing, and than the symptoms repeat randomly. Miserable.
I've been cooking on a regulars basis, for myself and for Sly and assorted friends and family (his:) though mastering bread making is still nowhere close, at least it tastes good now and that has been like coming home all over again, this feeling of peace inside of me.
Here is a few pics of how I spend my weekends up norththis would be a couple that we had met in a bar, and Kevin is serving her an "upside down margherita" and nope no way am I having one any time soon:)maple sap cooking, we collected a bunch of it that morning, I'm hoping that I'll get a jar of this greatest maple syrup:)


Than, I got sick all over again.
On Monday morning I woke up and got ready for work as Sly made me some French Press coffee *freshly ground too* and packed me a nice sandwich for lunch.
How did I get so lucky?

Today, to top off the whole week, I had my citizenship test that consisted of ten verbal questions, and writing a sentence in English. Easy as pie:) So after going over my application I got my small receipt that says I'm being considered for citizenship and have passed the civics test. Now it's up to the approval board to decide. Chances are 99% unless something happens unexpectedly I'll be a citizen of the USA in 90 or so days. Yay!!!
So I called up my man and told him the news, invited him to the swear in ceremony, when ever that happens as it's a huge deal and than called my best friend Grant. My family away from family here, told him we need to celebrate and that he's invited to the ceremony as well as the party~did-din ~ what ever after.

Things seam to just be happening and the world keeps on turning...going round and round.

possible new toys

Since it seams that my "work for the phone company is at it's end" just kidding, have just been disputing some charges form my long distance phone bill and it seems like it's getting to the end and a resolution I've started thinking about new acquisitions for this year.
My first Rifle is going to be this:


A CZ 527 in .223 Ceska Zbrojovka, have already started on the reloading road for the new rifle, hopefully soon I'll be able to afford this beauty.

Since I'm on a road to learn to ride motorcycles as well, as soon as Wisconsin decides it's spring:P I will be needing a ridding jacket and a helmet. So my choices for those are:

Now I have not tried the jacket and the helmet on so I have a feeling that the rifle will be the first acquisition.
Reading Suze's post made me think about how much i feel the same as her in regards to where I'm going. What is the purpose of all this work if there is barely anything left by the time you're done paying for all the bills?
Love, well I've found it again, and I keep on thinking" I hope it lasts...I hope i can feel this happy forever..." we all know that there are rocks on this road of life though:) Sometimes I wonder what the hell am I doing here with a guy who lives so far away?And every time I ask myself I know the answer deep in my gut, I'm in love.
I wish I can get in a plane and go see mom, dad and my sis been way too long since I've seen them, alas the $$$ come in play again, seams the more i struggle to make it the worse off I am, but that too will pass. I don't feel accomplished as I used to though I'd love to find a job that lets me enjoy life, spend time with Sly, travel , and pay all my bills. A pipe dream!

I watched a movie a while ago called Sylvia, about Sylvia Plath and the love of her life, the way her jealousy drove him away, put him right where her biggest fear did to...the arms of another woman.
Weird, I can't seam to stop thinking about that. I'm typically not a jealous person that is to say I don't think I am.... Sometimes I worry about the things I say and if they will drive him in her direction. Am I good enough? Is he/ Are we doing the right thing? Shoot, on the other side no way am I walking out. As my buddy Kurt says" Jenna always stands her ground" ha!
sigh
truth is we are all very much possessive when it comes to loosing the ones we love, some of us show it different , some of us have tantrums some claim the eternal love. Me , I question everything, the truth is what exactly? What is love? The touch that lets you know you're the one? Is it that person that completes your inner self? How the fuck should I know?
At one point of my life I had thought I'd found the "one" as it turns out I was only clinging to the familiar territory, of my culture, the piece of my life that was gone the minute I stepped foot out of Bosnia. But I guess we all learn from out mistakes, some of us take years to get to the same conclusion of what love is or is sooo not.
There is not "just" one man or woman that is right. There are hundreds of them. Trick is finding them and recognizing who they are, what kind of happiness they can bring to you.
Is it the excitement of never knowing if they'll stay? Is it the way they look into your eyes and you can see yourself in them. Maybe true love is the one that stays, sticks to you like invisible glue, crazy glue....
Sometimes love is not enough, and that makes me sad.
Sometimes I feel so alone in this fucking world, maybe that's a normal human emotion as we get older, still it sucks. Maybe it's the damn cold/flu that has been bogging me down for days now that's making me feel this way, hard to keep your spirits up when your whole body seams to be giving up in different ways.
I know I worry way too much, I know I've got people that care about me and love me, yes I know that but when you're coughing all alone in an apartment and the bathroom seams miles away and there is nobody making you soup and cleaning the piles of Kleenex of your coffee table or making sure you're still breathing the fact that you're loved and cared for seems to be lost in the day.
So it's not that I don't feel loved I just miss my Mom and Dad and wish they were here to tuck me in make me some tea and check my temperature.

I went to bed smiling last night as Ross checked up on me asking how am I and plus we arranged a time to hang out, it has been way toooooo long since I've hung gout with any friends besides Sly and I miss that.
Ok I think I've ranted way too much here, I'm going to do some laundry now and maybe feel better at least for a few hrs I hope.

I hate the pile of Kleenex in my coffee table, it reminds me of this constant headache I have. The cold/fly/wtf else?
Ok I'm pissy and my nose is all red and achy.
Can I have somebody please tuck me in and make me some tea?
Jenna is sick,
End of story.

Sometimes happiness is hard to put in words,
yesterday I fell in love
is it possible to do that when you already love them anyway?

my life seams so full and complete when I'm next to him
this afternoon as we shared a smoke on the porch

yeah, I puffed a bit and coughed, and never inhaled

I looked at him and saw myself in his eyes
as the winter sun was warming my eyelids
and his arms were wrapped around me tightly
I exhaled thinking to myself

so this is what love is supposed to be like
effortless, full filing, happy

Life is a funny creature, sometimes fickle in it's daily play with us
the play dough toys in it's playground
love comes and goes, maybe that's the way it's supposed to be
life cackles behind my back
as I try to juggle all my life's responsibilities
wish I was a kid all over again
playing with the play dough
and making funny shapes of the life to come

dream

life is a funny creature
that I fight every day of my life


Sometimes I feel so caged by the daily mundane stuff
pay my bills
eat
work
check out my empty bank account
work some more
catch up with those bills
like a fucking circle
like a dog chasing it's tail
a never ending battle

Than there is love
funny
salvaging
filling all those holes
love that lifts you up
makes your eyes light up
smile
look into those eyes smiling '
those lips whispering
how pretty you are
how much they love you
life as it should be
smothering you with hope

making it all worth living for
making it a full circle of life

living space

my wireless has not been working since I've moved into the new place, even hooked up the damn router is acting up and connecting and kicking me off all kinds of work projects... so to fix the problem of this:

so after landing the wonderful 3 peace (2 of 3 peaces) sectional on my toes so gracefully I managed to move my desk to a new home that is right next to the "only " phone jack in the apartment! So instead this unusable space for a desk



I now have this:



And I have a breakfast bar that I can have a meal at , and since I still don't have a dining room table at this place this will so work out nicely, except for my wireless still not working:(
