Shake The Dust

Kick it in the Butt
By Jodi Picoult

This is for the pirates. This is for the fat people. This is for the kids who eat chocolate cake for breakfast.

This is for the ones with a cold. This is for the sick and tired. Kick it in the butt.

This is for the Widows. Kick it in the butt.

This is for the sons and daughters without parents. This is for the homeless. This is for the addicts. Kick it in the butt.

This is for the people with depression. This is for people suffering. The people in the hospital.

So grab life by it's ends and kick it in the butt! You can survive this!

Gandhi

Sometimes I wish I didn't wear my heart on my sleeve. It wouldn't get broken into little pieces. Who is in control of our lives? Not me... When we will own ourselves completely? I wish I wouldn't have lied to the ones I love. I wouldn't have taken the lonely road if I knew I would end up this way. I worry that all my hard work will backfire and turn into ashes.

I don't like to forget... I keep forgetting to do my homework. I keep forgetting to be myself and love who I am. Why must the world be this way. So many people stop and stare. I wake up in the morning afraid to get out of bed. What will this day bring? ANY day we can self-destruct. ANY day we can die. ANY day we can lose everything we love. Does anyone realize that each day we have on earth is a gift from the Lord?

At night I get down on my knees and pray. Pray for the world to get better. Pray for the sick, the lonely, the ones without homes. I pray for my mom. I pray for my sisters, my nieces and nephews. We pray for the things we love. However, the best things in life, are not things. They are people.

We love to see the light. When will be the last day?
but tonight, is not the last time i'll see the light.

OrDiNaRy WoRlD

Meet Danielle. She is an 18 year old high school student. She has an every day routine Monday through Friday. Wake up, go to school, go to work till 11pm, then go home and do homework, then go to sleep. Rinse and repeat. Weekends aren't that exciting either. Work all weekend, and sleep. She lives an ordinary life. Not too fabulous. The money situation in her life is really tight, and she barely has anything.
Until one day her mom came to her and said, "Sweetie, we have to move out of Utah. Pack your stuff." They packed up for 24 hours straight. On the road they go headed towards Arizona. Danielle didn't want to move. Leaving where she grew up behind. She was the new girl in school. Always being laughed at, and picked on. There was a girl just like her that walked up and down the halls with her head bowed down in shame. One day they conveniently bumped into each other. Confused, Danielle picked up her books and walked away as fast as she could.
Danielle avoided this girl every day. For some reason there was something different about this girl and she did not want to be apart of it. Eventually this strange girl caught up with Danielle. When Danielle looked at this girl, she realized she had been avoiding herself the entire time. Hiding from who she truly is.

My Story

Dear Diary (Present)

My mom and I are getting to the point where we fully trust eachother. I really miss her though, it seems like I haven't been around her enough. I went to see my best friend today. She is going through some rough times. I'm praying for her. My ex-boyfriend text me the other day, I thought that was a little awkward. UGH I work Friday and Saturday this weekend.. AGAIN. I don't like the new floor manager. She is kind of a freak. I really like this guy I work with though, he is so sweet. I wish he would ask me out. JEEZ what is wrong with men?! We will never know..... My dog (Suzie Lou) is so sweet, I love how she sleeps right next to me to keep me safe. I will never be able to pay my mom back for getting me my baby girl! (Suzie) Horses are cool, I always loved riding one. I love the movie Mulan, it's so funny. Tarzan made me teary eyed a little last night. Oh man, I have so much going on I don't know what I'm going to do....

Don't Judge Someone You Don't Know Stupid....


Think about it... You walk down the halls of Lone Peak and people look at you... Don't you ever wonder what they are thinking about? Did they look at you weird? Why would they do that? Can someone really stand there and judge you on the outside for the person THEY think you are... ?? We have this "thing" (haha) come to our school every year called BE THE CHANGE! Most of the school has been to it now, and don't you think that people would actually pay attention and make a change? Well no, no one paid attention, and really no one changed. I think thats ridiculous!
I know for a fact that no one changed, because I was there 2 years in a row. I felt so happy and calm at Be the Change, but after it was all said and done, and the students went back to their real lives, it was all the same as it was before. That's messed up! No one took it seriously. But you know I sure did.
I know how this feels because pretty much every day I am judged for the person other people think I am. That hurts. You don't know how much it hurts unless someone does it to YOU! I am not LDS and I am pretty sure that's why people judge me, but guess what.
The reality of it is, I'm not the only one in the school. I'm not a bad person, so quit judging me. You don't need to be LDS to be a good person. Just be happy and friendly. And make a new friend every day, because you know. Until you actually get to know someone, you never know who they really are when you're not looking.

What is my perfect crime?

What is my perfect crime? I rob a bank, do I go for the vault? OF COURSE I DO! There is lots of money in it :) muah ah ah ah! There is a COP waiting for me. OH CRAP I got caught, this is not good!

He looks at me and says, "I'm here to help you my friend!" I think this is weird, why would a cop help me? WHY NOT?! He calls me Tiffany, I say no, We Make Love All Night..... 

Sweet I have lots of money now. What should I do with it. I tell him to meet me in Utopia. I fly to Paris instead, CONFUSED. I want the money to myself. That's selfish. 

Two years pass by, I never got caught. I call my cop friend and he meets me in Florida where it's always good weather. We talk, then make love all night, again! I give him some money, it's almost gone. I need to steal a car, then rob another bank. 

No wait, I'll kidnap Phil Mickelson. WHY? 1. Because i can. 2. because i need to ;) This is where the story gets interesting. I have a lesson by Phil Mickelson, I join the LPGA. I win lots of money.

No need to rob another bank. I marry the cop. We make love all night.... really again?! Yep that's right again! We have children, and LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER ;) 


-Tiffany <3

GOLF

GOLF.... Who came up with this silly game? I think it started off with men hitting the ground with sticks. I WONDER??? The only thing constant about golf is its inconstancy LOL!! :) The good thing about golf is that women are alowed to play now. Back then men were only allowed to play. What a rip off is that?! Muah ah ah ah ;)
(mmm this gaterade is good)
(so is this milky way haha)


If you look back on the progress people have made with golf over the years you would laugh. I mean look at this ball!!! crazy right?! that's too weiiiirrrrddd! haha


You look at the technology now and think wow, if it wasn't for this I'd still be hitting that kind of ball. HAHA!!

Golf is fun.
Golf is exciting.
Golf is relaxing.
Golf is funny.
Golf is love.
Golf is wonder.
Golf is honesty.
Golf is apart of your soul.
Golf is never without you. 

Let's just say, I LOVE GOLF!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

Death, Fears, Life, and HOPE


I am afraid of dying. Isn't everyone though? Are you afraid of dying? I don't want to die. I'm afraid of losing my mom. I'm afraid of getting hurt. I'm afraid of losing my family, friends, the joy that I have to golf. I'm afraid of being ordinary. Really, who wants to be ordinary? Be EXTRA ordinary :)
I live in the present.
Don't be sad, don't think about death. Think about life.
I wake up every morning and thank the Lord for another day. Who knows when we will all die? I don't like to think about that. It's too depressing. Live life in the now.
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.
Love the people who treat you right, & forget the ones who don't.
Believe that everything happens for a reason.
No one said LIFE would be easy, they just said it would be worth it :)

Seven Days In Utopia

Well fellow friends if you like golf a little bit or a lot, keep reading.
My mom and I went to go see this movie called Seven Days in Utopia. Rating = 5 Stars!! I loved it so much that we went to go see it again in the same week!
MUAH AH AH AH AH!! The movie is about golf, more the mental part of the game. It teaches you a lot and it changed my game forever.
For example... (This part gets goooood) :P
I went to a golf course with my mom to play on Sunday after church and I wasn't expecting anything at all right?! We were planning on playing 27 holes, I know we are crazy, so we started off on the first 18 and let me tell you the tee times were so backed up we were sitting there picking our noses! (Just kidding, not really) ANYWAY, getting off topic, I was hitting some really good shots, then what do you know I hit a bad one! Well I kept going and going, and by the time we were done 5 hours later, I counted up my score card, with out cheating and I had shot a 75... THAT'S ONLY 5 OVER PAR!! WHAT THE ****?! (Sorry if that offended you) HOLY CHEESE ITZ!! Was the possible? Did I really play that well? I guess I did. It did not seem like it because we were waiting forever on each hole.
I was so proud of my self and so was my mom. Oh FYI my mom shot a 79 :) Be proud of her too :D
Okay so once we were done with that 18 I was pumped up for another 9 holes. We go out and I start off with PAR, okay this is looking good. We keep going, no wait this time. I had a little hiccup on 11 but I moved on.
Found out that I could get on the green in 2 on a PAR 5 and birdie the hole. The next hole came along and I found out that I drove the green on a PAR 4 and I was only 6 feet from the hole! What are the chances of that! And that green is really hard to get on in 1. Well I made my putt for EAGLE and moved :)
All said and done, counted my score up, I had shot a 32 on PAR 35! I was so stoked! Lowest score I have ever had! What now SHAWN!!! (inside joke) MUAH AH AH AH AH!! Gotta love it!
OHHH.. crap anyway the movie tells you See it, Feel it, Trust it. See the shot, paint the picture in your head. Feel the swing, feel yourself hit the ball on the green. Trust the shot, trust that the ball will land where you pictured it to. If you do that, you will shoot in the 60's or 70's, just like me :) Go see the movie too. I don't care if it costs money, go see the freaking movie, jeez! :)
Love y'all ;)

My Broken Dreams. . . . . .

I walk alone... I walk alone...


I walk this lonely street full of darkness. The sky is an old grey color. I walk down this road seeing the dark ending wanting to stop. But I have to keep walking, to see what could be. I walk towards the end of this road. I have no future. I have no life. I am stupid. I am ugly. I have no family, no friends, no love.


I walk alone... I walk alone...


I used to have light in my life. The presence of love. The presence of sweet joyful laughter has escaped. I walk this lonely street full of depression. I have nothing to look forward to. I have nothing holding my head up high. I want to leave this earth and be with my friends and family. Why did they leave me?! Who will come and rescue me? Will anyone rescue me? I've walked this lonely road all alone for many years.


I walk alone... I walk alone...


I promised. I promised her I would continue my dream. I am continuing my dream only with her by my side only in spirit. I walk this course alone. I have no one to guide me. No one to tell me where to aim. I am walking only with my shadow. I have no one to back me up. I have nothing to persue. I want to be done.


I walk alone... I walk alone...

I am thinking about you!

I'm thinking about you like bagels think of cream cheese. I'm thinking about you like Charlie and Suzie think of jerky!
Like angels think of heaven. Like feet think about shoes.
I'm thinking about you like pants think of legs. I'm thinking about you like buns think of hambergers.

I'm thinking about you mom every single day like flowers think about water. Like the sun thinks of the sky. Like the moon thinks about the stars. Mom I love you oh so very much and I always worry about you. I want you to be okay. I think about you over and over again every minute of the day! I hope you are okay! I think about you like golf clubs think of golf balls. I think about you like work is stress! I love you mom!

My world today

So many things have changed as I have grown up. I am almost 18 years old. Time to grow up! But who really wants to grow up?? Everyone wants to be a kid! I know on the outside over the years I will look older, but inside I will have a kid left in me. No one wants to grow up and have to pay for everything, I mean come on, things can get expensive! No one wants to leave home, no one wants to see the real world. If you think about how you're feeling while you read this you'll understand. No one wants to say it out loud but I know each and everyone of us do NOT want to grow up!
I want to make this blog personal so people can see me but no one will know who I am really.
LIfe is hard at times, you lose track of what's happening around you... There are so many challenges that I must get through and sometimes I just want to give up. But can you really just give up? Can you just let it all go and never come back? I know that probably doesn't make any sense. Why?!! WHY is the big question all of us ask every single day! Why this, why that? But I have learned, that we don't need to ask why because no one said it would be easy, they just said it would be worth it. We all have our own lives, and some are worse than others, some take theirs for granted, some don't appreciate what they really have in life. But take a step back and step into another persons shoes then I am sure you would think about the world differently and understand. Don't take your life for granted.

I love Golf

The beauty all around me

Fail me not my driver

I count on thee

If not, count on my putter


Imagined I never felt

The love, the Joy, the Peace

My heart ever so did melt

Overwhelming happiness never to cease


I hold in my heart so dear

The warm wind in my face

The pure blue sky so dear

Dreaming for an ace!

Quotes from the heart

"It may be stormy now, but it cannot rain forever." This one really makes me feel like if you are sad or depressed it will only last for a short time. It is very truthful as well. I have been telling this to my good friend every day, and you know it can actually make someone smile. Make it your goal to make someone smile every day!
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference." This quote has been said over and over again throughout my family for as long as I can remember. Life isn't easy and sometimes we all just want to give up because of the paths that we must take, but that what life is really about. Taking the long road and going through the motions. It's what makes us stronger. God does not give us any challenges he knows we can't handle. We are all given a test, and I believe these tests are meant to be difficult. That's what life is!
"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason." I really like this, because life really is too short to have ANY regrets at all. Don't live your life with regrets, it doesn't make it any fun! Live Laugh and Love as much as you can. Enjoy the little things :)

I wish....

I wish I never lied to the ones I love. I wish I could fly to a new world and start over. I wish everyone would like me for who I am. I wish I knew the answers to everything.
Everything is changing. I don't know who I am anymore. My world is spinning round and round and I can't get it to stop.
I wish my family was closer to me. I wish my mother wasn't sick. I wish my Dad was here to see me grow up.
These things in my life I have always wished for and none of them seem to come true. I wonder if we had a time machine, what would we really do with it? Would the people in this world take advantage of it? Or would the people use it sparingly, and for the right reasons. Life is short... And don't we all wish it could last forever?
