Sometimes I forget I do this. To help motivate, here's another thing for prompts after I finish smash.
It goes like this:
using the prompts below, write a drabble (or whatever) a day for the next 30 days. find someone willing to hit you if you miss a day. look back at the end and go ‘oh! i’m a writer!’.
beginning. accusation. restless. snowflake. haze. flame. formal. companion. move. silver. prepared. knowledge. denial. wind. order. thanks. look. summer. transformation. tremble. sunset. mad. thousand. outside. winter. diamond. letters. promise. simple. future.
More to come.

Shopping
Smash journal - favorite place to go shopping
I have a ton of zumiez stickers that I could paste on this page. Once upon a time, I worked at a PacSun. We had a good time there.
Now that I'm older, and PacSun has been shut down here, I've been shopping the Target more often. Old Navy used to be an option but the quality of their clothes has diminished greatly. In fact, the last clothes I bought have shrunken enough tht they are uncomfortable. I will not shop there anymore. That's about it these days. Well, I have gotten the majority of my TX Rangers t-shirts from Academy so that must be an option now as well. :)
Yes. That's where I shop. At least for clothes. :)

Gates
I read an article today about the ambush of an American base in Afghanistan. From what i understand, they were pretty much letting anyone on base and not checking papers. This is on a base in a hostile area. I've been to bases here in the states. I've had to produce an ID for the past 10 years and its obnoxious to get friends and family on base as they fall short of asking for a blood sample to get on base. Those who let security fall short, should be ashamed of themselves and held responsible for the death of their fellow soldiers.
On that note, I'm skipping tonight's smash Can't follow something like that with a silly smash entry. Laters.

tis' the season
i skipped a smash journal entry. it was supposed to be family but you know, thats too much too soon. not ready to talk about that yet. like to be private about that sort of thing when i can.
so today's journal is "favorite season". frankly, i like them all. but thats a sissy way out. so lets go into what would be a four page layout. well, four page layout for places that have seasons other than hot, windy and cold.
winter - used to be the most favorite season and maybe it still is. i like being able to layer my clothes and wear sweaters and jackets. i love how pretty snow is when it falls and how it reflects light, especially Christmas lights. snow is fun to play in as well. used to snowboard and loved getting out and playing in the snow. its not as exciting now that i'm older and more prone to getting cold but sledding is still pretty fun. and ice skating. that was fun too. hard to believe that i used to do that. my most favorite part of the cold was the freshness after a winter snow when the skies cleared up. you would breathe in and feel the cold air go into your lungs. thats what i miss the most. breathing in the cold thin air.
spring - at some point or another, winter gets boring. i think its about one month after Christmas. i like that you can still layer clothes some days but you can start wearing short sleeved shirts and the occasional pair of shorts. the nights. i love the flowers that come out and how things start turning green. its a nice change from brown and gray (because that's what happens to winter. it starts to get ugly).
summer - summer is hot and i hate being hot. but thats what swimming pools are for. i know i shouldn't enjoy being out in the sun so much since its a major cause of skin cancer but i really love spending my whole day in the pool. i love how the days are longer and that i can wear sandals and shorts every where. i like the ice cream and snow cones and grilling while sipping on a drink. its laid back and its the time of year when we try to take trips. best memory from last summer was floating in Bear Lake, ID the entire day. too fun. had fun camping to although i think the best season for camping is...
fall - a good time of year as things start to cool down and camping becomes a more comfortable option. sure you can camp here pretty much any time of the year but fall seems to be the best. the leaves start changing so it makes for some pretty drives to work. the red and yellow leaves are brilliant. the calves in the fields are buy playing and everyone seems excited that the holiday season is just around the corner. its the time of year you dress up like a goofball and people give you candy. awesome. back home, the air becomes more crisp and clean. good things.
well, thats good for now. reasons why i like the different seasons. :) laters.

Muhaahnagna
While I am grateful to be alive, I am in no way prepared to be awake already.
Here's to hoping the day passes quickly and for once I get myself to bed at a decent hour! Good luck to you too!

smash #3 or 4
i had various random thoughts earlier today but they've slipped my mind. i do that more often than i'd like lately. i have a feeling like i should start writing things down. oh well.
smash of the day - favorite drink.
well. i have a lot of favorite drinks so to narrow it down is a bit challenging. i guess when it all comes down to it, i enjoy water. it sounds boring but its refreshing and is more refreshing than anything else out there. my next drink of choice would be a Rockstar of the lemonade/orangeade/coconut milk variety. I'm not too fond of carbonation so i avoid it when I can. unless its a Coke Zero, but thats only on weekends.something that weirds people out is the fact that i will drink my drinks at room temperature. a cold drink is good, especially on a hot day but if i have to drink that sucker from right off the shelf, then so be it. or if my drink is cold, i wrap a napkin or paper towel around it. keeps my hand from getting cold and my hand from warming up my drink.
i might be a fan of coffee. i prefer it with flavored cream and sugar unless I get it from a place that I thoroughly enjoy called Monks. They make something they call a Royal Breve which is expresso mixed with honey and half and half. you can make it a latte by mixing it with just milk but the half and half is much creamier. As of now, those are my drinks. oh and hot chocolate. Stephens hot chocolate. my mom is a saint for sending me some every Christmas. doesn't matter the flavor (except raspberry or orange. those are gross). and yeah.
There will come a day when I need to cut down on the amount of caffeine i consume. that time is getting close. its not good for you anyway. once that happens, there will be lots of water and Five Alive.
currently watching the Mid-Season Finale of the Walking Dead. oh snap. maybe now i will get some sleep on Sunday nights during the break. dude. whats with the Governor and his zombie kid? so freaky. this can be a messed up show sometimes. that guy is such a jerk. power hungry sociopath. laters.
