So something great happened to me today, during my lunch break at work today I wasn't hungry so I thought I'd get something at a nearby Starbucks. Decided to go through the drive thru so I don't have to get out of my car I ordered my Venti Iced Mocha. Coming to the window I was ready to give my card for the amount and be on my way but as the Starbucks lady give me my coffee she said to me, "the guy in front of you paid for you coffee, Merry Christmas!"
I didn't know how react to this, I didn't even know the guy or even remember the car he was driving or if it's even a guy or a girl for the matter. Just some generous person decided to pay for the person behind him and drive off without any credit or receiving a thank you. I don't know could it be the good karma coming back to me from the blood I donated yesterday? Did the person actually know who I was from the rear view and thought, 'hey I'll pay for his coffee' whatever it is it's a very generous thing to do. I know it's just a coffee but the thought of it is just so overwhelming and it truly made my day. I really couldn't be in a bad mood after that even if you tried to bug the hell out of me or say derogatory or racist to me. I was just so full of happiness by a stranger for doing a simple thing for me.
I seriously feel like I should change the way of thinking recently, instead of being the pessimist I typically am I would try to do the opposite and just live life and expect the best. I'm sick of always dwelling on my past and thinking that I'm incompetent or unworthy of what comes my way but I think it's time to be more confident and have a stronger hold of my life. It's a good day and will be paying it forward again soon.

Bloody Donation
So today at work a blood vehicle or bus or whatever you call them was here today and I agreed to give some blood. I just thought why not, anything that can help others I'll be down for. This was the first time donating so I was a little bit nervous doing it. I'm not afraid of needles or anything but it's still an unsettling feeling of some foreign object in you and sucking away a little bit of your life.
It was actually a simple process just a few forms and questionnaire to fill out and I was ready to give up the blood. I have to say the ladies that were working made me really feel at ease. They explain the whole process of what they're doing and talked to me the entire time doing it and before I knew it, I was done with it all. I recommend you all to donate blood if you're healthy and you know it then donate your blood. There's always need for it and the feeling of doing your part to help others is actually a real good feeling.

Can't Sleep
So right now it's 1:47am right now and I'm trying to get myself to sleep. I've always had a difficult time sleeping, I don't know what it is. I would sometimes go through a whole day without caffeine and still find it difficult to sleep at night. I've been using Melatonin to help me sleep which most of the time it does work but recently it seems to not have any effect on me anymore. I should consider seeing a specialist or something.

Fall is Over Too Quick
I don't know what it is about Fall but I just love it, I love the smell of it and I love all of the colors that come with it. As much as I would love to live in a constant 70 degree weather or at times tropical heat you can't get some of the visual you see when you live in a place that has actual seasons. Here's a picture I've taken when I was hanging out with my cousin and her dog at a nearby dog park.
