Paradox.
"We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often."
"We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things."
"We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less."
"These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever."
"Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you"
"Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again."
"Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind."
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

About Erika
I find it amusing when I take a bag of popcorn out of the microwave and a few kernels pop while the bag is still in my hands.
I don’t understand people who feel they need to make a religious, political, or social statements via bumper-sticker or window-decal.
I don’t like the smell of Wal-mart.
I also don’t like the smell of PAM when it starts to cook in a pan. I gag.
I avoid using public bathrooms whenever possible.
It is impossible for me to finish an entire water bottle.
Growing up in Vegas, I don’t understand the concept of “mold” here in Washington.
I lived the first 7 years of my life on an Indian Reservation.
I always wear flip-flops unless forced to do otherwise.
I am allergic to the world. Seriously don’t even get me started or I might start sneezing.
I always have some sort of glitter on my face.
I sing really loud in the car, but not in the shower. I have a feeling it’s because I can turn the music up in the car to drown out my singing, which is not possible considering the acoustics of a shower.
I usually sleep with socks on.
I usually sleep with makeup on too, which I hate, but when I get tired and lay down, I’m usually too lazy to get back up and wash my face. I’d rather wait until morning.
I am ALWAYS cold in Washington. I have 5 heaters in my apartment and a heat pad.
I cringe when people repeat themselves in conversation. (ie: “If only I had another chance.. If only I have another chance..) Once is enough, stop being so dramatic.
I live in my own apartment, by myself, in Everett, Washington.
I can’t drink warm water, and my water of choice if VOSS.
Most of the time I hang up my phone without actually saying goodbye. Sorry, but that takes precious time I just don’t have. I’m sort of a big deal.
Vegas is where I grew up, and one of my favorite place in the world; I miss it dearly.
I strongly feel that an adequate amount of English should be known as a prerequisite for living in this country.
People that loudly use blue-tooth headsets in public are annoying.
I don’t do roller-coasters.
Driving in snow is an enormous threat to me and everyone else on the road.
I almost never remember my dreams for more than an hour after I wake up.
I don’t like people who have “ring-back” tones.
It irritates me to no end when parents do not control their chaotic children in public places.
I absolutely can’t stand people who drive slowly in front of me. I’m not racist, but if you do it, you’re probably Asian.
I am definitely NOT a morning person. I consider anytime before noon to be the “morning”.
I’ve never had a nosebleed in my life. Okay once, but it was forced. I got smacked in the face with a block at daycare.
I like dressing up for formal and semi-formal events. I grew up in Vegas, first class is a must.
I’m always [with good reason] overly polite to people that handle my food, especially at fast-food establishments.
Fall is my favorite season, for both the weather and the required clothing.
I am often mocked for having “guys” handwriting. I’m over it.
I think I eat breakfast foods more at night than in the morning.
I HATE turning on the shower when I still have clothes on and getting my sleeves wet. It makes me extremely uncomfortable.
I want to learn to play the piano, and re-learn the violin.
I don’t see the point in chewing fruity gum.
I would drop everything and marry Jude Law with no hesitation if the opportunity presents itself.
I feel naked without my cell phone. (I also feel naked without my clothes)
I overuse Chap Stick, Burt’s Bees being my product of choice.
I’ve never been in a real car accident. I’ve done 360 degree spins and fish tails down the freeway on ice, but that’s hardly an accident.
I love the sun, hate the wind, and am indifferent about the rain.
I think T-Shirts with clever or witty one-liners are overrated and are worn by people who think they are comedians.
My favorite dessert is ice-cream.
I send/receive 200-300 text messages a day.
I always obey the “10 Items or Less” rule of the speedy checkout line, and despise those that ignore it.
I’m 5′ 7″, 115 lbs, and wear a 8 size shoe.
I look in every mirror I pass, almost as a reflex. When you look this good, why pass up an opportunity?
I love the beach.
I don’t use gel in my hair, I use wax and a small amount of hair spray.
I think boys with European accents are incredible.
