What Happened to Ryan Cabrera?

Remember the cute guy with the spiky blond hair that used to date Ashlee Simpson back in the early 2000s named Ryan Cabrera?  Yeah, you probably don’t because he just seemed to fade away after a few hit songs and has barely made any hits since. The same thing probably happened to him that happened to Hanson, The Jonas Brothers and soon, Justin Bieber. He got older and as well as his target audience, and they moved on.

But I still have a few of his songs on my MP3 player and I still them. My favorites were “40 Kinds of Sadness” and “On the Way Down.” Swoon. But now he is older and less known and looks like Orlando Bloom from Pirates of the Caribbean, which is not bad at all, but it is drastically opposite of how he used to look.

Time to Take Down the Christmas Tree?

Now that the holidays have come and gone, now comes the task of taking down the Christmas tree. As I sit here typing and surfing the web, my tree seems to stare me down asking to be retired to its corner in the closet. And this got me thinking, “when do other people take down their trees?” Am I the only one that waits until after the New Year’s to put the tree away? So I ask you, when do you usually take down your tree? Let me know if it is normal to wait this long or am tell if I am a slacker.
 

Are New Year’s Resolutions a Waste of Time?

It seems like more and more people are refusing to set goals for the new year. It could be to avoid the feeling of failure we all get at the mid to end of the year when we realized we did not even come close to our goal. Or it could be we have given up on trying to correct bad habits we have.

Resolutions like exercise more, quit smoking, and get out debt, are still at the top of most people’s mental lists, but why are we not focusing on them as much anymore as we did in the past. I believe it is a little bit of both reasons mentioned above. No one likes feeling like a failure, so we say “If I don’t try I can’t fail, right”? I know this to be true for myself. I have avoided setting these types of goals because I hardly ever complete them and then I end up feeling defeated and that sucks.

So I have decided not to make a resolution this year, but instead work on little things and build up. Most times we start off way to big. Sometimes less is more!

Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012!

Happy New Years to all! I truly hope everyone is enjoying their day and spending quality time with friends and loved ones. I spent the earlier part of my day at church, thanking God for letting me and my family  see another year. And here’s to you and yours having an awesome 2012 as well. Hugs and Kisses. -Destiny
