Heat.

It's rather hot outside today. After riding my bike my legs feel like jello. Not in a good way. And I had to be at work at 5 am.
Overachiever.

He makes me the happiest!
-Ashley Nichole

Smack.

Like a cold, hard smack in the face.
That's exactly what it felt like.
Go ahead, read it....

"To fix the world, Ashley, you must first see it as broken.

I'm not so sure I'd go there,
    The Universe"

And so I thought to myself. And then I started thinking out loud.
It really bothered me.
Am I a pessimist? Do I dwell on the negative too much?
So in return to these thoughts I am now changing my point of view.
I am not here at forcefully try and change the world. I will though give positive thought and effort to making sure that I am happy and so are the people around me. So wherever I go I will make a difference in someone's life. Be it a compliment or a kind gesture.

Take that,
Ashley Nichole

Books.

So I bought 3 summer reads the other day, maybe I'll inspire someone to read them with me!
The first is "Kinship & Killing".


The second "One Day".


And last but not least is a a Charles Dickens multiple story book.
"A Tale of Two Cities" and "Great Expectations".

So it looks as tho I'll be keeping busy this summer. A little classic story here a love story there and a book about animals in different world religions.

I'll keep you posted,
-Ashley Nichole

Sand dolls.

^
I need these.
If you know me at all you know barefoot is the only way to go when it gets warm!
Not want, but need.
Or maybe some a little less inexpensive.

Shhh-aaaat.
Ashley Nichole

Little hills.

You know what I wish?
I wish I could just put on a damed pair of jeans and a T-shirt and feel normal like the rest of the robots out there.
I wish I could eat fast food all the time and not give a damned about my body.
I wish I could of gone through life being niave.
Well, you know what... I'M MORE THAN THANKFUL!
I will never be "normal". I will never be a "bot".
The other night Ryan and I were running around like ourselves at a get-together. When we got home I told him I was glad we were weird.
His response: "Me too, and we don't even try."
He makes me smile.
A lot.

-Ashley Nichole

And.....
Been riding my bike a lot latley, it's fuuuun!
I have quite the vintage cup collection. It just keeps growing and growinggggggg.

At.

Where I'm at.
That is where I belong.
I've only once drempt of feeling this.
Here I am.
In the now.

A-huh. Shake it.

Metronomy - The Look from lorenzo fonda on Vimeo.

I just need to try harder. I think everyone does actually.

Come on, show some effort,
Ashley Nichole

Outside.

I get off work and get to my place of refuge.
I wash clothes with my washing machine that is about to go to rust heaven.
After, I cook some yams with ground cinnamon and sit outside on my back porch with my vitage wire patio furniture I acquired from my neighbors.
All while listening to Groove Armada in the sunshine.


I couldn't ask for anything more.
-Ashley Nichole

Dreams.

Dreams help make life bearable,
But other than dreams to help make life worth while would be....
Bad dreams.
They let you know that what you have is amazing.
Like when I awoke from a horrible one this morning.
I sat up in horrid, utter shock. I was so so very sad.
And then I realized it was only in my head. ( unless I'm great at sleep waking.)
So, thank you horrible, no good, very bad dream.
My life is just how I like it.

Sunshine and rainbows,
Ashley Nichole

Shews.

Like totally, I'm like, gonna wear socks with my sandals.
There. I said it.

Break 'en ouuta my mid-west boxxx.
-Ashole Nichole

Wright. Write. Right. In plain sight.

I had a dream I met Anne Frank.
She told me I could change the world.
She also told me to dream bigger than ever before.
Now I don't know about you but if Anne Frank of all people tells me to do something, by god I'm going to listen.
So tonight as I sit here I'm dreaming big. I'm filling out my damned resume to the fullest existent and my it's looking rather plush.

Dear Anne, ( that's right we're on a first name basis.)
I've taken everything you've said into consideration. You're right, my life is precious and I do need to dream bigger. I need to make sure I know my place.
I am second.
-Ashley Nichole

Yes, please!

Ryan made this font and banner for me and my little project.

Slllllooowwwwlllyyyyy things are underway.

Talk about a process.

-Ashley Nichole

Pets.

Girl. Honey. Doll. Chica. Mama.
They've got to stop.
I am not a three year old child. Infact I'm a lot older.
They're not cute nor are they very professional.
So please, let's leave the pet names for our pets or for the little neighbor children down the street.
My name is Ashley.
Ash-ley.
Two syllables. Not one, but two.


This weather is amazing!
Ash-ley Nic-hole

Suck.

I wish I had the worlds largest vacume.
I'm talking huge. Bigger than the mind can fathom.
I'd suck up all the horrible drugs.
I'd suck up the people who were born without any nice bones.
All the suck in the world, would be sucked up.
I'd suck up my neighbor who thinks it's okay to drive through my yard just because they're too lazy to put the car in reverse. Thus making me go out and buy a half dozen bushes and plant them all as soon as I got off work today. (Yeah, I'd say I'm a little irritated.)

Wouldn't that be nice,
-Ashley Nichole

Shape.

My new hobby:

I've started taking aerial silk classes from the lovely people at Quixotic. 

My teacher is amazing.

Not only is this something I've never done but it's a great way to get in shape for the summer!

I would recommend this to anyone who feels comfortable in spandex.

So, I don't feel round anymore.

I feel toned.

That is all,

-Ashley Nichole

Work.

Working nights fucking suck.
Sorry, but they do.
Maybe if I was up saving lives it'd be a different story but I'm sorting clothes...


Cha, cha, cha, changes
-Ashley Nichole

Top.

These are a few songs I've been lov'n on...

1940

Cracks

(I don't know what it is but I love the U.K. in her voice. Her and Ellie Goulding could have my babies.)

Now get'em. Turn 'em up reallllllly lound and dance your little hearts out!
-Ashley Nichole

Brown Tones.

Are almost gone...

I'll be waiting for things to turn green,

Remembering how much you mean to me.

Thinking back from where I came,

I'll take this rain any day.

Ta-ta,

-Ashley Nichole

Lamp.

I love my new lamp.
It's amazing.
It's petrified wood.
The end.

-Ashley Nichole

More.

There has to be more to life than this.
Today at work, I tucked bra tags for dollars, for hours.
Really.
I don't need much, but I need to be fullfilled. Maybe it's the weather.
Maybe it's the sheer fact I know too much for my own good. I know there are far away lands I should be exploring. I know that all I have to do is spend the money to get there.
I know I'm wasting away here. Wasting things I have and posess.
There has to be more... There has to be.
Do I need to belive in something other than myself to get there?

And here comes another existential breakdown.

One of my "not so great" qualities I posess would be my need "to feel".
If I don't feel something, I have no passion. Thus I can't put my heart into it. And I end up doing a shitty job at whatever it may be.

Here is a list of things I'm passionate about:
Children
Music
Exploring my creativity
Making people happy
Helping people
Nature
And with all that I can..... Eh. Who knows. Not me.

I'm being such a negative Nancy right now,
