I've never really gone camping or otherwise gone out into the great outdoors. The only time that barely comes close is one time I went on a church Core trip. It wasn't even my regular church but it was the only one that fit with our schedule. They had some group stuff that was not overall bad. But it can be intimidating sometimes being part of a group who know each other when you don't know many yourself. It was a little teeny bit scary being away from home. Even it was just for a few days. I especially can remember when this girl Jennifer dressed up as big foot to scare everybody. That was memorable. I'm glad to say I went and got a bit closer to my spirituality. There's not too much I can say for the outdoors other than I really don't see myself as ever being the outdoors type. But I applaud people who are. I just can't say that will ever be me. |
| Some people in the U.S parliament are dinosaurs. I'm not saying they should die, just retire and let somebody else handle things a while. What if someone just had a heart attack while they're up there debating and just fall over dead? You can't plan these things or know when they happen. It's ridiculous! Tampa 33. It is illegal to eat cottage cheese on Sundays after 6 pm. I won't say I'm the biggest cottage cheese fiend out there. But this makes me consider some rule breaking today. Not my county, so guess I'm free to rule break. Sanford 31. Being naked on stage is prohibited except in the case of theatrical “bona fide” (in good faith, if the reasons are sincere). If the audience didn't know you weren't supposed to be naked, they'd think it was part of the production right? So if they just assume just going all natural due to the play, it isn't rule breaking is it? I love my state some times. I may be seeing a play myself this week. My college has ''The Physicists'' going on right now. I'm currently taking astronomy and will be able to gain some extra credit by going and showing my ticket. A little motivation never hurt right?

As far as my own: No ostriches shall be tied to the dock of a beach that children visit. {Trying to figure out how to word it,oh well.} No tying up your ostriches near beaches where children play! You have been warned! |
| Who you surround yourself with impacts you a lot. If you surround yourself with non-motivated, negative people it will start to take a toll on you. If you hang around people who are motivated, successful, and fun I think you will get a lot more than the opposite. You can help motivate each other and keep the positivity going as well. It's better for everybody and does the world more good than the opposite. Yeah, it does play a part in your character and can negatively impact you as a result depending who you surround yourself with. Life's too short to be depressed, cynical, negative all the time. Positivity goes a lot farther into making the world a better place. Don't let negativity control your life. Get out there and seize the day. All we have is right now. Make it count.  |
| http://www.dailygood.org/story/1427/three-things-that-matter-most-in-youth-and-o... I think most of us hope to accumulate wisdom on our life walk. Sometimes it's gained the hard way. In agreeing with staying away from politics for a day{wish my family could last a minute-dad and bro regurgitates it} I will share this link I found. We can stop and consider what's really important in our lives. We don't have to be older to realize this. I think it also shows that the younger generation doesn't get enough credit where things of importance come into play. Though it may vary, I think it shows that even at a younger age, you can grasp the truly important things in life. Hope everyone had a good week, and an even better Sunday! Sad it's nearly over. Jan.'s been an interesting month. :) |
| My parents still have their baby TV from when we lived at the old apartments we moved from. I think we had another TV in the living room. Rug Rats, Hey Arnold,{I kind of related to Helga.} Wild Thornberry's,{still avid watchers of that}. Scooby-Doo, Johnny Quest, The Proud Family, Recess, Kim Possible, just to stir up some nostalgia. Is my age showing? I also remember Cat-Dog.I wouldn't call it one of my favorites though. Just a little reminiscing. Still a Scooby-Doo fan probably until I die. At some point we got Space Ghost, and then later on some older cartoons that went over well with us. My bro was introduced to Time tunnel and he's addicted to that. He likes the battles and the history behind some of them. Does anyone know the Lilo and Stitch series-them trying to find homes/jobs for the alien ''cousins'' of stich. I feel for Lilo. I would've wanted to be her friend. She got to be around all these cool{sometimes troublesome/destructive} aliens. That was like the coolest thing ever. |
So, sometimes I take on a lot at the beginning of the year and go crazy trying to accomplish a lot. That beginning month optimism slowly goes under change maybe by next or even the 3rd month. Reality hits and you realize: Dang! Well that ain't happening! So I may be doing that again. Can't seem to help myself. I think it's an epidemic{at least where I'm concerned}. This time around I'm attempting to enter

My non spirit animal would be a bedside lamp. I had a nice old fashioned lamp that belonged to an aunt. It was a good lamp and it was a little sentimental I'm sure. Mom says being the oldest of 6, we would have gotten along. I want to say I had it up until last year I want to say. It finally started having problems and got the boot. I tried turning it on and it started smoking. Told dad, he tried plugging it in. Got a little bunson burner over here.  That was kind of cool actually. Lucky for me, it didn't start a fire in my room and I still have a bed to sleep on. So yeah, smoke and miniature fire, bad. Remember kids, you try & turn on a lamp and you have to call smoky the bear, toss it. Don't wait for an open flame to possibly set your room on fire. Anyone cares, I've since moved on to a shorter, more sturdier lamp. It's also closer so I don't have to worry about falling out of bed to reach it. There you go. My non-living-''spirit animal'' would be similar to that lamp. Classy but on fire within. |
Ever have a day you think will end the same way it started? Well, that's how my day turned out. It started with  for not bothering to study for my first   for  . Then I felt *happy* thinking I knew the material from what little  *notebook* I did. It didn't. I'm afraid to look in case it's a determinate of how I'll do the rest of the class this semester.  So that left me feeling   I felt so tired and mentally exhausted after I don't think I was wholly there while he was going over the next lesson. So yeah, my brain's still in recovery mode at the moment. Eventually,I may look in to see how bad the damage was. That's life. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kyXihGtUU78/Tf9q9Igc8DI/AAAAAAAAA04/8DBrFrmV3GQ/w1200-... Saw this little guy running around my campus today. My dad would appreciate it.  On a side note, I took a pic of a coral snake that came out b/c of rain feet from our house. Mom's reaction:  . Even on not so good days, there may be something to brighten your day just a little. |
| I graduated high school back in 2014. So I don't know if I'll be sent one anytime soon. I got something in the mail that may be related to that, but I haven't bothered with it yet. My motto in high school was ''survive''. I made a few here and there along the way. That's what I did, got my work done, and that's about it. You don't have much of a social life if you're socially awkward and an introvert. It had it's moments I guess. I don't know. Maybe once to see if I'd still recognized anyone. But I didn't have that fantastic an experience I'd brag about to anyone. Maybe as an nostalgia thing, just because, see if it's changed at all. |
| Generally, I'm blogging as part of the 30 day blogging challenge group. I've had some great experiences, meeting new people. It's a bit uncertain sometimes how certain topics, whatever, maybe received. Thus far, I've never received hate mail or negative responses in my blogging/writing career. Here and there, I'll get critiques for some of my old stuff. Some day, I may devote a day or few days to try and see how I can edit/improve my work. Especially if it's been a few years. For me, with stuff I enter for contests, if it's due tomorrow. I frantically{at times} try and put something together to be able to enter the contest. I get excited when I get a notice that someone fanned me. I always wonder what made them decide to fan me. Regardless, it's still cool to see that people find your writing worthy of being a fan fav. My inner child is happy. I don't always think about who sees my writing. But sometimes I worry about saying too much and having an ''TMI'' moment. For the most part, I try to be as honest as I can. I sometimes filter myself so I don't freak out potential readers of my work. To this particular writing community in WDC and also myself at times, I'd consider my audience. |
| After the initial laughing @ the absurdity of the situation, then comes reality. This could have gone so much worse. Imagine if he'd had a friend that blew her head off. The kid may not have been the biggest threat towards her, but the reality of it is still unnervingly frightening. This could've gone south but didn't. This girl probably remains unaware of how lucky she is. At the end of the day, I hope that I would value my life over food. Regardless what it is. I'm still a bit mixed about this. Something to think on. |
