'quick fire'

I have a fascination for the city. Oprah Winfrey once said, 'My first day in Chicago, September 4, 1983. I set foot in this city, and just walking down the street, it was like roots, like the motherland. I knew I belonged here.' I'm really not a follower of her work or what she does but this is right to the point of how I feel about NYC. I've never been to Chicago, but have always dreamed about going and I think it applies to any individual about their favorite place to visit. The first time I visited New York City in high school I knew it was where I wanted to be. It was one of my dad's favorite places in the world and I have so many memories of me and him from our trip there. I've been back since that trip and every time it's a new leap forward in my journey through life.
Quick Fire Question: When it's 44 degrees Fahrenheit outside, why does one wear Nike shorts and Ugg boots? I understand the purpose of Ugg boots. They're stylish, they keep your feet warm, their insides are super soft, they're pretty, and more importantly, they originated on a beach in Australia. Who knew? Nike shorts consume the average college students daily wardrobe. If I were to count how many pairs I saw everyday I would easily reach numbers in the 50s, if not higher. There are just so many options to choose from. Do I want the green ones with the black netting or the black ones with green netting on the sides? Getting back to my point however, the boots are for the winter and the shorts are for weather other than the cold. Let's put two and two together. Ugg boots and Nike shorts just do not go with one another. They may look okay together but the logic behind it just isn't clear to me.

I tend to quote the fabulous, amazing John Mayer quite a bit. It's just one of those things that you have to get used to.

Despite the awful reviews about John Mayer's new album, 'Battle Studies', I find it rather enlightening. I definitely see where he's coming from on several of the songs. I like it. Yes, I love the jazzy, blues side of him, seen in songs such as 'I'm Gonna Find Another You' or 'I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You)', but I think this new album has quite a bit of potential.

I took a human geography class this past semester and Dr. Jepson made a statement that got me to thinking. She said, 'Coming into this class, I knew each of you, for the majority, would have your mind set on the fact that you believe that overpopulation is ruining the world. But, I hope that as we sit here together on this last day of class that you now know that yes, overpopulation is a problem, but there is SO much more to it. Quit looking at what's apparent and dig into it.' Needless to say, this was my favorite class last semester. She was also the professor who used quick fire questions.

"All we ever do is say goodbye. I bought a ticket on a plane and by the time it landed you had gone again. I love you more than songs can say. But I can't keep running after yesterday."

Rambling: one of the things I have great success in.
