Yay!

So it’s been a bit since I’ve posted anything, I’ve been pretty busy lately, found out that our landlord is wanting to evict us, however the process would take her so long that our lease would be up anyway, I’m not too worried about the eviction, more so about us not being able to keep this place that we’ve fallen in love with!

Quitting Smoking

I’ve quit smoking before and it was really easy, just quit smoking even though I had smoked most of my life.

I have decided I want to quit once again, and hopefully this time not let outside influences to get my started again.

It’s harder this time around, I am not really sure how I want to go about replacing the habit. When I quit that first time I replaced it with riding my bike 12 miles a day, which felt great by the way! Now I don’t have my old bike, sure I can borrow my buddies bike it’s just not the same style that I enjoy riding. it’ll have to do for now.

Quitting smoking, is a healthy choice for someone to do in life, but that’s not my reason to stop actually, as sad as that might sound, I only want to quit to save money. Buying a pack of smokes every other day at 5 bucks a pop sure does add up!

The first month is the hardest, I’ll have my emotional tantrums, and probably be very rude to some people who wont deserve it. I’m going to do whatever I can to control that though!

The past two days have been really interesting in our home.

Basically we took in a stray that we felt sorry for because of her situation, and now we see how her situation was mostly her fault, she treats people horribly and doesn’t even care. She thinks that the way she treats people is justified because she served in the military.

Call me crazy but last time I checked just because you were in the military doesn’t give you the right to be an asshole to everyone you interact with.

I’m going to attempt to do a small challenge for myself, Currently being in New Orleans I see the effects of Katrina still linger, The city can’t keep up with covering the graffiti havoc that has happened,

The roads are still poorly damaged, and as often as they try to fix them, being below sea level causes the breaks to continue happening.

So my plan is to start small, and it’s not what you would think, I wont be going around trying to cover up the graffiti, or begging state officials to attempt the fix the side roads on the most tore up off streets.

I’m going to spend the next 7 days taking photos of the current state of NOLA and making it in to art.

This old city is so beautiful, even being  run down in its current state.

It doesn’t seem like this is something very helpful, but by starting something as small as this, and to continue to help spread the word that there is still lots of damage that hasn’t been taken care of. Hopefully it will help push things further in the right direction.

I am hoping that other’s will make an effort to work to help at least fix the streets and cleaning the graffiti, whether it’s through donations or just continuing to spread the word to other’s, this kind of thing needs to be known and fixed sooner than later!

The photo’s will be uploaded to my Instagram, which can also be seen here on my WordPress.
