Wrapping up the end of my summer fun....

I've really enjoyed this summer. 

I've had time to visit some people (locally of course), catch a movie here and there, go to a really great concert, spend some time at the lake (which I'm doing again this weekend) and visit the Holocaust museum. 

In two weeks, most of my friends and family will be heading back to school and even though they'll still have an occasional evening to "shoot the shit" with me, for the most part I will be alone.

(It's a crazy feeling knowing that I'm done with school. The last time I wasn't going "back to school" I was 5. And those days the economy seemed better suited for the independent artist. Or well, what do I know, I was 5, but still! I'm scared. Scared of not having insurance, scared of paying off my $35,000 loan, scared of facing reality and pulling up my big britches and being independent. I know, I know, I'll get over it. I don't need any uplifting speeches from anyone. I'm just being real and letting you know what's on my mind.)

So, with this alone time I plan to work my little ass off as often and for as much money as possible, put most of that money away for a rainy day but spend some of it on trips to visit my friends in New York, California, and the more affordable Austin, Dallas, & San Antonio.

Random side note: Badminton looks really freaking hard! (you know the game that looks like tennis but you hit a little birdie instead??) Their arms are all twisted and what not. 

I love when the Olympics is on tv. Bye bye reality bull-shit, hello good ole' fashion exercise and talent. (Stopping myself from really going off on reality television...fight that urge, Jess..FIGHT IT!)

Good news, I've got a list of movies I've enjoyed lately, so if you're interested in giving them a shot here they are:

Sicko - by Michael Moore

Amelie - french film

The Dark Knight - starring Heath Ledger, Maggie Gylenhal

Penelope - starring Christina Ricci

Here are some pictures and after I go to the lake I'll have more.

John Mayer Concert

All of us @ the Concert...it was freaking fabulous!
The Wall of painted Tears at the Holocaust Museum
A typical train car used to transport Jewish people to Aushwitz.

They would force 200 people in a car that would hardly hold 80 comfortably for days and days on end with no water or food or any place to sit down.
A Swedish fisherman's boat used to transport Jews from Germany to Sweden, which was neutral at the time of the war.
A quote from Elie Wiesel and more.

Alright, so that's all I have for now.

I have many more things to talk about, most of which are controversial, so I'll spare you for now. Plus it's 12:40 at night and my dog is making my bed look really comfortable.

He loves his sleep.

Thanks for reading, my loyal friends and family! If you're a newbie to my blog, feel free to stick around a little while, things are going to get really interesting! (Subscribe to my blog!!!)

Yours,

Jessi Hebert

oh, p.s. that storm that was supposed to disrupt my birthday turned out to be the weakest pansy storm of all time. I slept right on through it! :)
