My first time...

So this is my first time...and I'm kinda nervous, I mean you're first time is supposed to be special right? I mean what if i do something wrong, or say something silly ?! Relax folks I'm just saying that this is my first time blogging! *awkward but relieved sigh breathes from the two people in the world reading this* Oh wait i could be lying, i think i had a livejournal back in the day, but oh well we're not counting that.

Anywho allow me to introduce myself my name is Tricia and for those who don't know me, I'm a 25 year old black and puerto rican, hard working, super fun at parties crazy passionate, lovin' Jesus social worker. I work at a nursing home with the elderly and I LOVE it! Not everyday do i love the job and certainly not everyday do I love their CUHRAZAY family members but everyday i love my old people! And that's a fact.

Ok now that you know a little about me, you're probably wondering why I decided to call my blog "Innocent Bystander". The fact of the matter is I've always enjoyed the term , truthfully I always wanted to start a band and name it that, I have it all dreamed out, you see I'd be the drummer in an all-girl punk band...I'd have pink liberty spikes and a labre piercing...but I'd only tour and play on the weekends, I'd be a normal person all week long.... then Friday nite pink spikes! LOL total double life stuff, seriously like Clark Kent would have nothing on me...but since my dad told me i have no natural drum playing rhythm it's just a dream!

The funny thing is as much as I like the term it's kinda dumb when you really start to break it down, now just go with me here..."Innocent Bystander". First of all is anyone of us out there really "innocent" sure maybe you're innocent of whatever that situation is going on at the moment but come on folks none of us are exactly pure as the driven snow, know what I mean? And furthermore, what's up with "bystander" why the heck are you just standing by when all this was poppin off? why didn't ya get out the way? more importantly why did you even stop?

I heard a sermon once from a pastor I admire that says you should never be doing "nothing" in life. You should always be working towards a goal and moving towards your destiny. You're either moving forward or you're moving backwards but either way when we just stand still we let our lives pass us by. People who know me, know I'm constantly on the go, and I'm OK with that 'cause life's too short to stand still. I may not always be moving in the right direction by, hey at least I'm moving...
