Second off- WOW!Im not gonna lie, in the selfishness I call my life, i never once imagined what these people go through. Here I complain (usually to myself) about things that I have.
Key words here: THINGS THAT I HAVE
I HAVE things. SO many people don't anymore. The Lord has blessed me in tremendous ways. My prayers extend to all those who suffer and the hand of economic poverty.

Tech Buzz
"I had this guy leave me a voicemail at work, so I called him at home, and then he emailed me to my BlackBerry, and so I texted to his cell, and now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to get rejected by seven different technologies. It’s exhausting!"
So this is from the movie He's Just Not That Into You, and I gotta say, that has to be hit-it-right-on-the-head statement EVER! I like to think that communication these days is purely accesible, but if you think about it, its another burden to add to another stressful day.
When I first met my BF he did not text worth a dime. Literally. Perhaps I was the heavy influence that somehow managed to get him to convert to unlimited texting. Haha. OR maybe it's because once I texted the crap out of his phone, he realized that it was much simpler than calling and having a 5 second conversation that can run up his minutes. Anyway, back when my parents met they didn't have the technological luxuries that our generation does, but come to think of it- it may have been for the best.
Think about it, back then (in my parents generation) couples/people/parents, etc, had to suck ot up and basically go all day without being able to text/email/IM/ or whatever, everyone. They did not have the internet addiction flowing through the veins of their lives. People stayed together. Married for 30 + years. These days, if your married for 10, you are adulated by your peers. Really? 10?
Darlings, if you really expect "till death do you part" then 10 years is nothing. Unless of course you die. Wich would be tragic. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.
These days people are having affairs EVERYWHERE. And technology is a huge catalyst in this. People talk all day over IM or TEXT or EMAIL, and before you know it, your emotionally cheating (That is a topic I will discuss later) yikes. Ya know, my parents never had that chance, and it makes me wonder if theirs is true love, or they are still together due to the LACK of that "opportunity."
Good grief I hardly make any sense. And I don't even think I have a point. Lol. ah well.

Officially Sucks
So I got up nice and early this morning. Was feeling very awake and alert. Did my morning routine but OD'd on Raisin Bran. There wasn't enough milk in my bowl so the balance between the cereal and milk was lost!! Alas!
I don't have school tonight, actually on a little break. So spending extra time with my puppy is a must. Seeing as I have to find him a new home. Ya don't even talk to me about it. Talk about losing a part of your heart. Just lookit him:
So cute. And not just cute but a great listener....when I'm home at least.
But his little white stripe! And his oversized paws for his little frame! And his green eyes! AH!
But his little white stripe! And his oversized paws for his little frame! And his green eyes! AH! On a lighter note, this weekend will be busy! And tomorrow I get to see the kids again at FFK (Future for Kids/ Helping Hands) I get to see them at Camp on June 6th as well. Should be fun. Utah is just four days away. And so is my first ever One year anniversary. Hahaha too bad I'll be at a wedding!
So whats going on Memorial Day? Maybe christine and I should do mroe BBQ shenanigans. I think it'd be fun!
Also relishing in the fact that I dont have class, I will be spending time attempting to beat Super Mario World on NES. Bruce ate two controllers so now we have a limited amount of play time. ahaha!
I was thinking alot of religious philosphy, reality today, and biblical prophesy, and I gotta tell you. Life is grim. Are all of the events that have taken place coincidence, or predictions. Not to mention all the movies about the end of the world coming out. Like the road. Seriously, developers of these films are on a whole 'nother level or crazy. Makes me paranoid.
ANYWAY im going to try my hand at pizza bites and home-made (HEALTHY) popcorn tonight! Wish me luck!

This coffee is bitter.
Good Morning!
Welcome to my Blog page. Not always necessarily interesting, but for those who care, fabulous.
It has been an tremendous amount of time since I have placed my thoughts in writing. The last time I did that, I ended up keeping the journal for 4 years! NOT the most amazing recap, especially when your missing whats called "great defining moments in life." Pretty petty, but I guess I wanted to hold onto the memories for the sake of personal misery. I guess I felt that with life comes bad things, and it's impossible to be gloriously happy without SOMETHING bringing me down. Something that is not perfect.
I made the change and I got rid of the darn thing, and I couldnt possibly be happier. Why torment myself with things only I myself can read? Its ludicrous.
Anyway I'm happy this week is over. For real. It took a while to jump back on the horse. My last session for my COM 105 class was on Tuesday. I have a two week break and then I start my critical thinking class. I really dont think I should be in those kinds of classes. It breaks my heart that I can misconstrue things, hurt peoples feelings, be condescending, be a bit of a hypocrite, and not even realize it until all words have left my mouth. Sure I kick myself for it, but what good does that do.
Anywho. I just ate entirely too much soup and rice. Definatley lethargic now. Just finished looking through pictures of Naomi's wedding. Let me tell you man, when someone takes a picture, its FOREVER. So make sure you SMILE and if your an awful person *ahem* then FEIGN joy and smile anyway. LOL. Christine knows what I'm talking about. It was a really fun night that night. Followed by a disaterous two days. We kepts out wits about us (christine and I), and we gratefully accepted the help we could from, well, anyone! :D
