Why not?

I've decided to take a couple computer classes in the fall. It seems like a good idea. I've an interesting relationship with technology. Like all other things, I'm neither fish nor fowl when it comes to technical literacy. By the standards of most of my coworkers (particularly with my last job, marginally less so with my current job) and those I grew up with, I'm a techno-wizard. To most of my age peers, I'm a howling technophobe, mostly because I dislike using text messages. Silly I suppose, bu

Chronicles of My Life

One of those surveys that starts on Viv's blog and eventually makes its way to mine

Are you tan? Goodness no! I'm naturally a very fair-skinned person and I'm obsessive about skin care/health. Tanning is a really bad thing for someone like me to do to their skin.   I occasionally use moisturizer with a subtle tanner in it, and I think I have a decent 'glow/colour' thing going on (I'm in good health), so I don't have the pale goth look either.   Do you use proactive? Nope, like I said, I take good care of my skin and I'm lucky to have nice skin anyway. Do you own chan

Concentration... or should I say, "Lack thereof,"

I recently started taking Wellbutrin. It seems like ever since I started taking it, I have a hard time concentrating for any length of time. I can't write very much, and reading seems to be just as difficult. It's really frustrating too. I like to get lost in a story whether I'm a reader or an author. It's like Wellbutrin does something in my brain that makes it difficult to focus. It does seem to improve my moods though. Hopefully I will adjust soon and my brain will be able to function. I'm al

Silly Survey #372... and a PS...

Are you tan? I have more tan lines in different places and shapes... I even have a flip-flop tan line...   Do you use proactive? Nope, thankfully I have fairly nice skin and always have.   Do you own chanel perfume? NO! I own Romance by Ralph Lauren which I rarely wear, and a bunch of Victoria Secret stuff, but the one I wear most is called Pure Seduction.   Do you shower daily? Mmhmm, sometimes twice.   Do you go to the tanning bed? NEVER! I think that's like scary and totally pit

The Canadians lit up the Northern Lights (for you Spelling Bee enthusiasts and college graduates, the Aurora Borealis) last night. I know because I was driving across North Dakota at the time of the big show, around midnight. Actually I haven

Death wish? I think so...

With Luck A Rocky Landing   I wasn't sure where this should go, so I opted for my blog. Anyway, these people have lost their minds and they jump from rock to rock. It's enough to make even C James cringe with fear. I mean, they could break their bones doing this. I don't care how drunk I get, I could never do this. The locals cite some kind of adrenaline rush as the reason for doing this. I watched the video, and I was wondering why anyone would want to do this. It scares the shit out of me ju

The Day I've Been Waiting For....

This past few weeks have been very crazy... So Today was our famous Family Night we do every year for the parent's. Each of our groups do a dance for their parent's, then as an entire group we all dance together. Let's just say the thing takes a LOT more time to prepare and get everything ready, then it lasts itself. We spent the last two weeks, teaching our kids their dances, having them practice hard, then we had to figure out a little skit, make our 7x10 ft posters for each group, and still b

Cancer

Its a devastating thing. It grows silently, using your own resources against you. Masquerading as other maladies until it is finally discovered. When it is found, it is almost universally cut out. Some people are resilient to it's removal, even though the cancer takes some of them along with it. Others, are just not strong enough: the disease is wound too tightly into their bones; into their foundations. Still the best option is to get rid of it before it has a chance to spread further and infec

The New Face of our Galaxy

The good people working with the Spitzer space telescope have made a huge discovery. Spitzer sees in a number of bands of the infrared spectra some of which have never been possible to explore before. Our atmosphere absorbs a large chunk of the infrared spectra- specifically microwaves.   Spitzers position high above our atmosphere allows it to see and explore things that human eyes simply can not and have only now begun to have the ability to explore.   Our understanding of our own home ga

Beach, ND

As I've said in previous blogs, there's no beach in Beach, ND. Other than the sky blue water tower, there's no substantial body of water to have a beach. I suspect it was someone named Beach who designated this little bit of America's Siberia to be a beach. It's been reported that some winters in ND are so cold diesel fuel gels and the trains stop running. I believe that because just across the border to the north is Canada and everyone knows how cold Canadians are. You'd be cold too if it never

The Righteous One's...Thank You Shadow God :)

Steve's reference to Bone Thugs and Harmony made me bust out with some of their stuff...here's one of my favorite songs by BT~n~H     http://youtube.com/watch?v=-L5Gkv03HaY     Oh yeah, and here's my answers to Kevin's living will question, too.   Living Will: I don't see why anyone wouldn't have one. I guess I can't have one yet, but in 6 months, it seems like it only makes sense.   Life Support: Not for me, thank you   Do not Resuscitate: I can see this if I'm already terminal

Questioning Sincerity

I generally tend not to trust people or believe everything they say for quite a while. This is one of my defense mechanisms as I have been burned a lot in the past. Generally speaking, I'm not to the point where I think every word is a lie. However, it does take me a while before I believe all or most of what a person says to me. I make it a habit to look for certain patterns before I make a judgment call. This tends to save me from a lot of undue drama and even pain in some cases. While most pe

When the time comes....

In life, everyone comes to a crossroad and have to make a decision, and right now I have about three major ones.   School Everyone says that the best way to get ahead in the world is through school. Well in my case, it's coming to the point of where am I going to go finish my school. The school by my house is offering ASL courses and Criminal Justice courses that transfer to anywhere in NJ, but the thing is, I don't want to spend my life in NJ getting my education, I auctually want to get out

My Contribution To The Enviroment

Ok, so as most people know, I'm not much of an environmentalist. I believe that global warming is a hoax and that we need to industrialize Africa so that the people of that continent can enjoy the fruits of a thriving economy. I also believe that relaxing environmental standards on industry will benefit the entire world in the long run. But I'm not completely void of environmental stewardship. I stopped eating red meat, pork and chicken almost a month ago and I'm working on my pesky addiction

Blah

Okay, so I didn't get home before the Fourth.   I was here on the Fourth, though.   But, I didn't get three consecutive days off. I had to deliver my load on Monday and Tuesday.   I was ready to go back to work yesterday, giving up a day of time-off just to get back on the road, but there wasn't a load to be had anywhere in all of Washington or northern Oregon.   So, tonight at 2300 I pick up a load going to Illinois. It'll mean a lot of night driving through elk and deer country. Just w

Led Zeppelin- part 1

Led Zeppelin   Widely regarded as the first heavy-metal band, Led Zeppelin was called the heaviest band of all times and the biggest band of the 70s by Rolling Stone Magazine. Led Zeppelin has had over 300 million records sales worldwide and all of their albums have made it to Billboard magazine's Top Ten. They are ranked number one on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.   Led Zeppelin formed out of the dissolution of the old super-group the Yardbirds. Jimmy Page had been playing bass f

I'm the new Live Chat moderator

Hey guys, I figured I would make a blog about something really great that happened to me, becoming the new (and I believe first) live chat moderator. All this means for everyone is that i'm there to make sure things don't get out of hand. While I know that there isn't any specific rules for live chat (i could be mistaken but I didn't find anything on GA) I'm going to follow the rules of the site and apply them to Live Chat as best I can.   Like any moderator, if you have any problems/concerns

Bitter and short tempered...

Apparently I am a bitter, short tempered, person. Personally i find it remarkable that someone who usually doesn't say much of anything at all could be bitter and short tempered.   I'll admit it freely I have some odd quirks. I don't do repetition all too well, thus I find KC and the Sunshine band highly offensive, but also Bone, Thugs, and Harmony as well. I know there is a great divide between those two. One is 70's disco the other 90's rap or hip hop, or whatever that genre calls itself th

sorry i've been absent...

but I was spending the week with an angel...   Monday: I ran around like crazy, grocery shopping and recycling, doing more laundry than any one person should ever have to do, and then I showered and went to work where I was thankful I had something to occupy my time because I knew Jeff was on a plane flying west and I'd be hugging him in just a few hours. I had to work until 11 that night so the plan was that he would come from the airport to my store and then follow me home. Needless to say,

Communication Breakdown and Computer Central

It's been an intresting few days lately, one in which I spent a lot of time working with not one, but two computers, and little to no time writing and reading. I think it's a good thing because it gave me some time to exercise the brain (and to play with electrical things hehehe). I have my laptop which I'm going to mainly use to write and use when i'm away from home, and I have my desktop/server which syncs with the laptop so I can work at home and be able to work abroad . On top of that, I als
