168 hours
There are 168 hours in a week. Somehow in all of that 168 hours we claim to be so busy we don't have time for a single thing. But when you think about it what exactly are you doing with those 168 hours. I mean really, be honest with yourself. What are you doing? How many hours a week do you spend watching movies,youtube videos, t.v., and whatever else? How many hours a week are you on facebook?
How are you spending your time? After you answer this question then think to yourself, Am I spending my time wisely? What could I cut out of my life and make more time for?
Is it really you have no time, or you just don't want to do whatever someone is asking you to do so you make it this habit to say, I'M TOO BUSY TO HELP YOU. I'm to busy to volunteer for the homeless shelters. I'm too busy to go be encouraging to a friend in need. I'm too busy to be helpful and considerate.
We are selfish human beings, it's natural. It's not an excuse. I have to remind myself this all the time "I'm naturally a selfish human being, but that is NOT an excuse." I'm making it a personal goal to re-evaluate my time and use it more effectively. That is going to be my constant goal in life. Someday it may come to deleting my facebook. Who knows. I rather people e-mail/call/text me instead of trying to contact me on facebook.
Facebook is nice. It's good. It's overused.
That being said, I actually think twitter is brilliant. It's something I can do on the go. It doesn't have everything up there about me. It's just... twitter. That's it. Twitter. I'm considering dumping facebook. I won't delete my account. I'll just put almost everything on private and make it to where someone has to e-mail/call/text me if they want to talk to me.
Actually I just did that. I just made it available to very few people to see everyone on my page. Very few I mean like, only 10 people can see everything on my page, and no one can post on my wall.
Facebook takes up way too much time.
Time management.

Memories
Today has been exactly one year since my Uncle Kenny passed away. I've thought long and hard about this blog and exactly what to say, but nothing is going to be perfect nothing about this blog seems right.
I love my Uncle Kenny so much. He was always there cracking jokes and telling stories.
I'm going to tell the last memory I have of him at the Christmas before he passed away.
It was my cousin Tracy, Aunt Priscilla, me, Nanny, My mom, and I know there were others there but I can't exactly remember who all was in the living room at his house when this happened. They were opening gifts and my Uncle gave Aunt Priscilla a gift to open. So she opens it up and it's one of those make-up mirrors that light up and it's normal on one side then you turn it over and it's a huge magnified glass on the other side. What was so funny about it was when my Aunt turned it over to the magnified side and squeals. Apparently, her eye was the size of a orange because of it being enlarged. My Uncle was just laughing and we were all in there laughing and he was teasing her about it. It's one of my favorite Christmas memories.
Today, don't say Rest in Peace. Today don't be sad. Because if I know one thing about my Uncle is I know he is having a party in heaven. Today, share your memories, and create new ones. Love your family, and spend as much time with them as you can. Give everyone a hug and tell them you love them.
