I'm Bringing waffles Back...

I know I haven't written in several days. I know at least one person (Alex) is very upset about it. You see, I've been in Lubbock since Friday visiting Kristin/ taking one last look at Texas Tech before I go and visit KU and make my college decision. I will give Lubbock this: It is flat...very, very flat. But it was good to see Kristin and her friends there. They're fun kids.

Anyway, I found a great facebook group that pretty much sums up my philosophy on the difference between men and women...with food: Boys have waffles for brains:

"Allow me to explain, boys are simple-minded. Their brains are waffles; where everything, (every event, person, activity in their life) is kept completely separate and unrelated in its own compartment. Girls have spaghetti brains. Everything is connected, related and tangled up.

For example:

Sally left Joe a facebook comment. Joe did not return the comment. Sally is distressed and worried. She thinks, "What if Joe thinks I'm weird. What if he's not responding because he thinks I'm weird?! What if my comment was too long?! What if my comment was lame?! Oh no, Joe will never hang out with me again. I'm NEVER GOING TO GET MARRIED!!!!!"

Joe sees Sally's silly, but humorous comment. He thinks hmm, that's nice. He then shuts his computer down and doesn't think another thing about it. He likes Sally; she's a nice gal. Who wouldn't? It's Sally! The next day he sees Sally, who seems nervous and unsure of herself. He wonders at the seemingly random change in attitude and thinks, "Hmm, I wonder what's going on with Sally. Mmmmm, this philly cheesesteak is REALLY good. I like Philly Cheesesteaks."

Obviously, Sally is still distraught and paranoid. Whereas Joe is enjoying a nice Philly Cheesesteak, completely oblivious to his own facebooking powers. Moreover, Joe knows that he likes Sally, almost as much as he likes Philly Cheesesteak."

I think this might be the most truthiness statement I have ever seen on facebook. I have to tell you honestly, a couple of weeks ago, I was such a Sally. But now, I'm trying to keep in mind that boys have waffles for brains...and they don't realize that girls overthink things a lot...or at least they don't think about it. But I've lately been trying not to be a Sally...which is considerably easier when you don't have a special boy in your life. I forgot how relaxing it is when I stop stressing out about not having a boyfriend and just let it go. IT IS FREAKING AMAZING!! I'm loving being single right now. Sure, not having someone to make out is a pain in the ass sometimes, but when your friends have all this boy drama going on and you can just step back and thank God that you don't have that...it's nice. Plus, I have so much more time to focus on more worth while tasks, like my photography.

I've got a new goal: I want to put out a coffee table book. It's going to be all photos taken around Dallas, some color, others black and white. It's a nice project for me. It's a good creative outlet and it lets me clear my head, besides I love it anyway. Here's a photo sample of something I took today:
