Life...sometimes

I am a boomerang back in the hand...

So we got back from the cruise yesterday, ate...again(as if we didn't eat enough on the cruise) and went to Boboy's to finish uploading everyone's pics and to watch some Dave Chapelle show and just nap. I also played ball last night as usual and I was freakin gassed. I am so damn tired today now...I totally took a nap for lunch and I'm still freakin tired. Man. I think I'ma have to get me some coffee....It's good to be back on solid, unmoving ground though.

The Trip
The cruise was a blast. I don't think I've eaten as much as I did over those four days. It's a glutton's paradise on water man, I swear. At dinner, you can order multiple entrees. Same goes for dessert and for appetizers. It's just the drinks. And you have to put a c.c. on your ID card in order to get anything, which is kinda scary cuz you don't know how much you've spent the entire weekend until you get the bill the morning of departure. I had a lot fun...so many random things happened, Cile wanting to play ninja and totally eating it in the round bar, people kinda getting sick, people getting sick, rock climbing, dancing, drinking, eating, drinking, eating, laughs, jokes, all that with good friends...it's impossible to not have a good time with all that. I've never been on a cruise before, and I definitely enjoyed it and wanna go on cruises in the future, even with the strong possiblity I will still get sea sick. The only sucky part is that they had to have a damn casino over there. And we all know my affinity towards casinos. Dangit....oh well. Like I said, it was still a lot of funn. I still need to upload the almost 900 pics from the trip, and that's still missing a few people's pictures...talk about paparazzi...sheesh.

Sometimes I wonder why some people are more appreciative of what they have around them than others. Is it their upbringing? Their personal experiences? What? Because even some of the most experienced people still take many things for granted. On the same token, some people who have had great upbringings also seem to gaze past what is right in front of their eyes and just find things to always complain about. I don't think we roll with the punches as well as we think we do. Of course, it's the types of experiences, and of course, some have it worse than others, but still, why is it so hard for us to see and be happy with the blessings we have. It's our selfish nature...it's always about us, the attention we need, and the good things we deserve...I mean, how vain is that? Well, I for one, believe that it's not up to us to decide what we deserve...it's up to someone else, and to me, that someone else is God. To other people, it may be a different someone else, but even so, it's no excuse to be so resentful of what we don't have. It's about knowing what you DO have and make do with it. Such is my frustration...
