Explaination

If some of you were wondering how i came up with the title for my blog, i will fill you. For me i am always curious how others came up with unique ideas that suited them.

Ever since i can remember i always felt i was in a constant transition in my life. The last day of 6th grade and having to be on the high school side, then after 8th grade, being considered a high schooler, then becoming the fresh meat at college- trying to figure out my own personal identity. Now i am at the final stages again, from transitioning from a college girl, to a wife.

It is the best transition i have thus far had to adapt too. I do feel like it is about attitude. I still have some clothes i wore in high school that i wear now, but it is about your actions, your mannerisms and your confidence that make you more of a "woman" than a girl.

I always thought that once you hit puberty you'd feel like a woman. Then i thought it was when you were 18, and now i feel it is when i graduate college. However, there is a point that you reach when you realize, you can either dilly dally and put off a certain level of maturity, or you can embrace it.

There is also a song Transistor Radio by Cloud Cult. It has such a true meaning. And you all know me, i'm constantly looking forward to the future and planning. Aren't we all? Waiting for the next best thing? Whether its graduating high school, college, getting married, having a baby, finding your dream job etc.. the show, aka life...its the journey, not the destination

Where i am , where i've been is the show.

Also, a transistor radio is an old radio that tended to not get very good signal. It was always full of static and did not have clear audio. Well..

A lot of times i compare that to my faith, and my relationship with God. I feel that my radio is on, that i am open and trying to do his will, but his message is not clear. It is getting lost with in static. {The static thus being, school work, partying, swearing, not attending weekly mass.} I created this place in which i can share my perspective on things, and share thoughts with others, in hopes of maybe toning into that message, and clearing some of the static.

I know having a blog won't improve my relationship with God, but i do think that being able to acknowledge what is holding me back, and my views that get clouded by what society thinks and portrays, will help motivate me and encourage me to be the person i know i was intended to be.

So i put these ideas together..

Transitioning.
Static filled Radio.
Message from the song.

I tend to get side tracked, and just post about what i did that day, but i am trying to re focus on sharing my thoughts. No matter how random. I think sharing what i did that day and reflecting back, allows me to bring these thoughts to the surface. So bare with me through my journey, and even my transition into a being a new blogger.

Please let me know your thoughts!- if you do not want me knowing who you are always feel free to comment with a fake name :) ha lets be real we've all done it.

So folks, there ya have it. This is MY Transistor Radio, will you tune into my thoughts and feelings and daily trials? Will you agree with them? Or will the static off life drown me out..

  1. Thanks so much for the blog comment! As far as Nikon's go I can't really give you any advice. I use a Canon Rebel T2i and mostly a 50mm f/1.4 lens for most of my pictures. I love it. I also use a Speedlite 430ex II bounce flash indoors, but never outdoors. I got it this January and have self-taught myself everything I know. Started in automatic mode and worked my way up to shooting completely in Manual now. It's so much fun! I am sure Nikon's are great camera's as well. Start out with something basic and work your way up. Congrats on being engaged and planning your wedding! Have fun and I look forward to hearing more from you :)
