CRAZY..kid denied deploma

Well I stumbled across an article on foxnew.com search it yourself if you like there are several articles one also came up for yahoo after readin the first and doin a search..

 

Basically what had happened was a student was denied being handed a deploma for.. Bowing, Pointing to his friends then blowing a kiss to his family..then told it was misbehavior and violates the regulation contract.. signed by him and his mother..when tickets were purchased.. Hmm crazyyyy thats all I can think..I dont knwo about the superintendiant but I find that to be respect and a simple sincere devotion to the ones that matter thast all.. and shows how cold hearted some people can truely bc.. thast a moment that many work hard for and well its important anyway you look at it.. she stopped him.. said to him why do you deserve a deployma he said bc Ive worked hard and earned it her then saying NOpe... take a seat?? what is that?

 

That just erks me.. if having respect for your family is so bad then Im not sure anyone should want to carry a deploma from that school or even be proud too, also if i were the parent Id be furious.. you dont pay taxes for yoru children to get educated and all that just to have them denied when its deserved and earned...

 

 

anyhow thast my thought so feel free to search student denied deploma I will add a link in a few.

Wal-mart....Ran... rant...

Well, Im a big fan of wal-mart stores everywhere ... Altho lately Im beginning to question them.

 

 

Let me start by stating I recently read an article about them banning a music album for mature content and refusing to sell unless the original was edited.. (specifically green day, 21st century breakdown).

 

About 2 weeks ago around 630, I went in there for some paint.. talked to 5 people all of which just standing around.. "talking".. hmm.. helpful... well all of them each said "I'll see what I can do". 10 mins later.. hmm no help.. so again I went walkin around the store this time there wasnt anyone (but one old guy) .. working nor around the back half of the store beings the only one there and workin was busy in the fish department with a another customer, then called to hardware.. I had to walk all the way to the front of the store near the checkouts to ask the lady at the jewelry counter, She then called back to paint.. "no answer".. Big suprise.. then hardware.. no answer.. then electronics.. uhm.. waiting.. finally she called the customer service and told me they would have someone back as soon as possible.. so it might be  agood idea to wait there yet again.. so I went back waited for another 15 mins.. well there was a couple who had come before i had went up front to get help, still waiting there, they had said they talked to a few people too and still nothing.. soo finally after 45 mins of waiting and asking a bunch of useless people for help, The same old guy who was running back and forth from hardware to fish, came to help. (big scene with  manager and the couple there..eek.. I just wanted my paint) Got my paint .. but seriously 45 min wait ... while their workers just stand around? You would think at 6 they would be working most since its probably thier busiest time on a week day. The store was packed and they still had time to stand around. Also the old guy who finally helped me had said he was retiring in 2 days. Huh, Nice...

 

(The couple that were also waitin for paint had said they had been to 3 other walmarts none of which could help him mix/match the exact color he had even tho he got it at a walmart...he had lost his paint swatch, didnt know the color, and they have a special machine for that purpose so just bring a sample of the color and they usually can do so..but in this case the machine was broken..and the other stores had no one in who knew how to work the machine.. )

 

So back to greenday being banned.. guess its not a big deal for people who are not fans but.. come on they are a long running pretty popular band.. I just feel it was stupid.. since alot of rap music has the most "maturely inferred content" edited or not.. and yet they still sell it.. seriously.. Thier extremely successful, buy some parental advisory stickers for gods sake (they never had to do so before and refuse to now) .. soooooo Wal-mart recently known for having everything will not have this cd..(green day never editing an album before also refuses to do so.. bc they see it as art or so on) Hmmm well I guess its thier loss (Wal-mart).. since this album seems to be selling GOOOD.

"Sometimes" (poem)
Tags: poem poetry

Was inspired to write a lil something. Enjoy.  

 

"Waking agony" May/2009

 

 

Sometimes I wonder, Sometimes I dream

Sometimes I want, Sometimes I need

 

These feelings seem to scream upon me in my every waking

deed like an unburied seed.

 

Sometimes I feel, Sometimes I reframe

Sometimes I land, Sometimes I break

 

You cannot heal me, you will not forsake me

But you will single handedly and unknowingly break me.

 

Sometimes I smile, Sometimes I decieve

Sometimes I Appease, Sometimes I disillusion

 

I only make believe and falsely compile what I can not percieve.

A preserving desease with in my own seclusion

 

Sometimes I justify, Sometimes I resent

Sometimes I suffer, Sometimes I indulge

 

You defy every obsticle present,

Divulge every undiscovered side of me,

Give life to my very destiny in all my unwanted agony.

 

I sometimes reveal only to prevail

 

I am what you make me,

I embody your every need in the highest degree.

 

I sometimes disdain in order to sustain

 

I am what you cannot see,

I breath what you could never be.

Seriously?

The hub found these two articles and so thoughtfully sent me the links

 

due to the fact that I currently cannot post blogs with links in them even ones that are linked to words.. (hmm..not sure why but says error on page) imma just post the last parts of each link Im pretty sure you can figure out the start.. I think

 

First : This one is basically about a guy who set an alarm in his car and caught some teens who were stealing

his suv everynight to simply go cruising? My thoughts .. Um.. how are they even gettin into your car in the first place.. ONLY ADVICE to avoid this senerio from happening in neighborhoods near you.. "LOCK YOUR CAR". We'll that sounds easy enough yet the article goes on to say that the teens had a spare key, Um how?

This one really tops teh cake.. The man left his car unlocked months earlier.. and um.. had a spare key left in the unlocked vehicle? Its ok we all have our moments?? ..yeah..

 

news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090507/ap_on_fe_st/odd_joyriding_arrests

 

Next:... Um.. Should I be afraid.. I mean what is this organization recently brought to my attention.. and do I need to dispose of all those facial clippings residing in my sink..( in every random annoying place).. to avoid a potentially hazardous confrontation?  Um.. Too shave or not to shave.. "Smooth, prickfree kiss" seeking wives beware....

 

news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090507/ap_on_fe_st/odd_mayor_s_mustache

 

and now to save teh beloved mustache from becomeing extint.

 

americanmustacheinstitute.org/

 

AMERICAN MUSTACHE INSTITUTE ; Protecting the rights of, and fighting Descrimination against, mustached americans.

 

Hmmm... yea Im not really sure what to take from that.. ya know this could be huge..maybe?

Perks to being called "Mommy"...every five seconds...=)

Okay since mothers day is coming up I decided to put together a lil something enjoy

 

 

 Everyday perks of being mom.

 

 Being a mother is one of the biggest blessings any woman could hope for... I myself find this true =) even with all the many ups and yes downs.. You take the bad with the good. (note this all is just from my perspective having three amazing kids, five and under)

 

1.Getting up in the weeee hours of morning.

 

Perks:

 

-Being awake to view the magnificent sunrise. (Over and over and over and over again.)

 

 -No need to waste more electicity with three very precise (give or take) functioning alarm clocks.

 

-Having an early start on daily activities. (consisting of but not limited to, laundry, phone calls, preparing meals, sweeping, mopping, folding laundry, putting laundry away, errands; with three now VERY tired ready for naptime "alarm clocks", and yet again more sweeping due to a need to snack and drop crumbs along with other random things on the just cleaned floor.)

 

2.Cleaning none stop.

 

Perks:

 

-Having our unavoidable need to clean satisfied.

 

-In the event that we do avoid that need to clean, they always know how to make us feel more productive and accomplished. (with random spills and other unavoidable messes)

 

-Reminds us why its really important to clean. (no oh noooo! hunny mommys coming, ohh no no no just put that down,DROP IT, No eat! DONT PUT THAT IN YOur MOUTH...Yuck..ick..I said...ohh ok good..got it...YUCKY...YUCK)

 

3.Having a very simple vocabulary which on occasions does make us look illiterate in public.

 

Perks:

 

-We have the power to stop any unpredictable event or occurance by happening with one simple word. (NO).

 

-We now know what a zillion random words/non-words can mean and in our cases do mean on a daily basis, which most who arent moms have no idea about. (MOM CODE..no this is not us being cute, nor did we invent all these new meanings, Our lil bundles of joy did..as a matter of fact)

 

-Our amazing ability to express what others would say in a full sentence only using one to two words per statement and the occasional jesture, motion, movement. (get, go get, this, that, want?, no eat, trash and so on)

 

4.Having the pleasure of ongoing many warzones/tantrums.

 

Perks:

 

 -What doesnt kill us, Makes us stronger. (in this case we may now refer to ourselves as SUPERMOMs)

 

 -A reminder to relax and stop stressing once in a while. (If this was the case we would go crazy)

 

-Being handed the oppurtunity to be realistic and see that we are indeed only human,"Which in fact is okay, because we know minutes after the tantrums pass we will again be praised and idolized for not jumping/going overboard." (note: When everyone in the supermarket is staring at you, and wondering what kinda parent can't calm her irate childs unacceptable behavior.) AND LASTLY...

 

5.Being rewarded on a daily basis.

 

-Cant get enough of those messy diapers. (which.. accomplishes something..uh..got it Responsibility and the fact that we do care, even enough to undergo many diaper removing and reattaching "operations")

 

-Those recently mentioned messes. (when brought to our attention as "LOOK WHAT I DID".)

 

-Kisses and hugs. (because they truely do appreciate us..)

 

-Being the first to see them over come a HUGE milestone and being the one they look to for approval. (We've all done it..you know the clap and LOUD YAY when in public, which others may not get the same, innocent and wildly amused giggle out of as your wide eyed 2 year old does)

 

-Being reminded of just how important we really are. (especially when the last cookie falls in dirt,or so they thought, right down to when the smallest yet BIGGEST scraped knee accident accurs, or simply just because they just wanna cuddle with mommy and choose this over playing with big sis and her big girl toys that normally are off limits.)

 

Point being SOMETIMES ALL IT TAKES IS MOMMY TO MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER. Unless ofcourse Daddy happens to be around..and just so happens to be determined to steal all your supermommy thunder.... To be continued in JUNE! Happy mothers day!

 

Feel free to give me your Being a mom perk, along with your reasons why. love to hear them.

Coffee Lovers.

Just a lil something I seen on yahoo as one of the featured stories, Heck Im persuaded .. Then again this just helps aid my defence on why I drink so much coffee daily, Not to mention the many health risks brought to my attention previous to this article. Mwahahaha.. The coffee drinkers live on

 

Below, I've made the parts from the article italic as too not mistake such statements for my own .

 

 

 

9 Reasons to Drink More Coffee!

SELF.comBy Lucy Danziger, SELF Editor-in-Chief - Posted on Tue, May 05, 2009, 4:20 pm PDT

Happier, Healthier You by Lucy Danziger, SELF Editor-in-Chief a Yahoo! Health Expert for Women's Health Visit Women's Health Home

 

Ask anyone who knows me: I am a certified java junkie. I'm naturally energetic to begin with, but I rely on my caffeine companion to power me through long days, tough workouts and piles of work. I can even have three cups a day—including a dose after dinner—and still sleep soundly all night. Lucky for me—and the 87 percent of Americans who consume caffeine daily, with the average java drinker gulping down 8 ounces a day—more research is proving that coffee is actually healthy for you. So go on, have that latte without guilt. As if you needed more inspiration, here are some brew benefits to prove that sipping is smart:

 

It helps you shed pounds People who drank more metabolism-firing caffeine gained less weight over 12 years than those who cut back on the coffee, say researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.

 

THERES A LONG TERM INVESTMENT RIGHT THERE! WHO SAYS GOING TO DUNKIN DONUTS OR STARBUCKS (SO ON) IS A MONEY PIT, WITH ALL THE MONEY WE SPEND ON STAYING IN SHAPE FROM USELESS WORKOUT EQUIPMENT TO DEADLY FAT BURNING PILLS, THIS SOUNDS LIEK A PRETTY SUITABLE OPTION TO ME.

 

It powers your workouts Downing coffee and toast between back-to-back workouts can keep you humming, a study from the Journal of Applied Physiology reports. Athletes who drank a caffeinated carbohydrate beverage after cycling had 66 percent more glycogen (an energy reserve) in their muscles than those who had a caffeine-free version. Replenishing glycogen helps you go farther and faster in your next session. Do you run on caffeine?

 

YET AGAIN, STILL GIVING BACK

 

It helps you wake up refreshed Drinking a cup of coffee immediately before taking a 15- to 30-minute catnap can leave you alert and rested after waking up, according to research from The Sleep Research Centre, Loughborough University in Leicestershire, England. Caffeine takes a half hour to kick in, so it will rouse you after a short snooze. Try these tips to sleep your way gorgeous.

 

I KNOW I'VE FALLEN VICTIM TO NAPPING ONLY TO DISCOVER I NOW FEEL MORE EXHAUSTED THEN WHEN I FIRST LAID DOWN. FINALLY A WORTHWHILE REMEDY, NO PERSCRIPTON NESSASARY!!

 

It can ward off illness Increasing your coffee intake may prevent liver cancer, The National Institute of Environmental Medicine in Stockholm, Sweden, finds. Two cups of java daily lowered a person's risk by 43 percent on average. In another study from University of Minnesota at Minneapolis, women who drank coffee had a 24 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease and other inflammatory conditions. Antioxidants in coffee are likely behind the protective benefits.

 

 
HIS ONES A NO BRAINER.. WHO WOULDNT WANT TO DRINK A CUP OF COFFEE (WHICH TASTE SO GOOD) FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT ITS FOR MY HEALTH..THIS DEFFINITELY BEATS FLAVORLESS CEREALS.

 

 

It can ease muscle cramps Women who had the caffeine equivalent of two cups of coffee the day after their quadriceps were stimulated (as if they'd done squats) felt 48 percent less leg pain within an hour, research from the University of Georgia in Athens reveals. Caffeine may block the body's receptors for the ouch-causing chemical adenosine, scientists speculate.

 


YAY SEXIER LEGS HERE I COME!

 

It makes cardio feel like a cinch Women given the caffeine equivalent of about two cups of coffee an hour before cycling reported 40 percent less pain than those who went decaf, according to a study from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Caffeine seems to block neurotransmitters that signal discomfort during exercise, researchers say.

 

"AGAIN"

 

It helps you get want you want Dealing with a difficult person? Broach a tough topic over a cup of joe. Caffeine may make people more open to persuasion, the European Journal of Social Psychology notes. Researchers say it hones cognitive function, causing skeptics to be more receptive to a convincing case.

 

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME ... WHAT, IM A WOMAN

 

It may fight breast cancer Young women drinking four or more cups of caffeinated coffee daily reduced their breast cancer risk by 40 percent compared with nondrinkers, a study in the Journal of Nutrition finds. The caffeine and polyphenols in regular coffee protect against cancer. Worried about getting the jitters? Even two cups every day can help. And try these risk-reducing recipes as well.

 

SCORE! SORRY, GUYS NO MATTER HOW APPEALING US WOMAN FEELING UP OUR OWN BREAST MAY SEEM, THIS COMES AS A HUGE BONUS.

 

It improves recall! Caffeine perks up short-term memory, a study from the Medical University of Innsbruck in Austria reveals. One cup of coffee may be all it takes; drink it before a big meeting to be your sharpest.

 

 

WELL THAT DOES IT.. I'M CONVINCED.. (SEE  7) IM GONNA OFFICALLY BE DRINKING COFFEE FOR THE NEXT 12 YEARS (ALSO SEE 1) AND GOOD NEWS IS I WONT EVEN HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BECOMING SEEMINGLY MORE FORGETFUL!

 

 

 

IM GONNA GO AHEAD AND ADD MY OWN HERE 10. IT TASTE SO DAMN GOOD, WITH ITS MANY DELICIOUS AND DESIRABLE FLAVORS AND VARIATIONS.. ORIGINALLY HOT.. NOW IT ALSO APPEALS TO THE COLD BEVERAGE DRINKERS!!

 

ANY OTHER REASONS TO DRINK MORE COFFEE??

Wii fit + dance dance revolution=bad combination

So in yet another of the all soo familiar spring tricks and deteremined ongo'ers, to get inshape for the dreaded bikini season, I myself had found myself purchasing both wii fit and dance dance revolution.. Originally My hub purchased our wii for him and the kids (well our oldest) and (so he claims) me. Well after turning down the very thought of even buying the wii fit, just to discover it will soon collect alot of dust and be added to the collection of many unused fitness "equipment" I dont use, I finally caved. My sister inlaw and mother inlaw purchased a wii soon after we got ours and bought wii fit, well ofcourse after using it she just had to call and brag about how great it is (I wont deny this just yet). So after hearing of her many successes with this fitness game I was convinced this is just what i needed to spend 80 bucks on.. So.. I visited gamestoponline and added this to my cart then noticed they had dance dance revolution for cheap couldnt resist adding it.. so 67 bucks for that. (kid at heart).. well after waiting anxiously (Im not a very patient person) for this to come in the mail 2 days rush ofcourse, I tried the wii fit and LOVED IT, and then the dance dance revolution also LOVED IT.

After feeling the workout the next day with seemingly little knoticable effort from me I was deffinitely proud of my purchase, So to pay back the tip, I went bragging to me SIL about the DDR, needless to say.. she went and got it after trying it.

 

Well two weeks in.. alls good, and Im really feeling inshape.. adn yay Im down 4 lbs.. and I think my thighs are smaller.. yet that could just be teh fact that I want to believe its working.. for about 140 bucks who wouldnt.

 

All good things must come to an end at some point, right? Which this one did..The Wii fit has a running workout option.. (note they encourage you to do most of teh workouts without shoes so its a lil inconvient to stop and put shoes on to take them off again) you can either keep pace and jog in place or walk in place.. as long as your keeping your pace its very encouraging.. I ofcourse being recently very altheletically enlightened decide to run rather then start slow.. a few days of that and my ankle starts hurting, but very faintly so that didnt stop me.. wii workout and run then DDR.. twice a day for 30 mins if I have the time.. Well with the dance dance revolution you have to do alot of movement (duh...) and with that, jumping.. which is more fun then it sounds but alot of it is real quick movement so apparently the combination of both reeked havoc on my already sore and swelling ankle... well about a week and a half later not playing either due to being very grudgeful (light workout on teh wii fit.. NO RUNNING), Its just about all the way "un-swelled" and barely hurting. Oh but theres more..

 

I was talkin to my SIL today and she just happened to mention being on her way out for an ace bandage.. Hmm.. which made me curious.. who wouldnt be so I asked.. and guess what HER ANKLE IS REALLY SORE!!  She also does running on the wii fit and ddr.. eeeek.. Whose brilliant idea was it to mix the two..anyway.. (Trails off) ....

 

 

 

Althought I would still suggest either if your lookin to get inshape just be aware if you decide on playing both.(DDR has a workout feature as well). 

 

Wii fit..

Im currently down 7 lbs even with my week of being stubborn and feeling betrayed, therefore not playing. So aside from that small.. set back and the annoying on screen talking balance board resembling the one you stand on.. It seems to work.. and be a decent investment. =)

 

ddr..

 

Lots of fun.. deffinitely builds a sweat tho... makes ya wanna play for hours.. imagine that.. instead of playing zelda for hours on your ass or any other game.. you could be getting fit in the process.. YAY BIKINI HERE I COME.... maybe?

Paint ...Spiders..and offsprings.. Eeeek

Soo.. I figured Id put having a blog to more use then broadcasting my somewhat dorky need for writing and sharing my poems .

 

Well Im officially at my moms for a year, Luckily she has a full apartment basement house.. so confrontations are at a minimal.. dont get me wrong I love my mama but too much of anyone could drive someone crazy and im still sorting out those side effects with being married kidding.. but to ease the process in that one, my hub just so happens to be deployed, atm hence the new living quaters. Anyhow.. Her basement isnt exactly a great big trashed mess actually its quite nice.. and well with years of occupants coming in and out.. mostly family and so on.. It could use some work.. Not sure what exactly encouraged it but Unknowing my fate with this statement.. I mentioned how i wouldnt mind ripping out a rug in teh room my 2 year old twins are sleeping in, since it was old and had its days of glory at some point im sure, well the following week we were off to get some tiles.. so  much for a comment or random suggestion.. apparently this was going to happen... soo I embarked on that very willingly.

 

 (Why not, if I had been back at my house this is exactly the type of thing I would be doin to keep myself accupied and my mind off of the current deployment and yet take advantage of the hub being safely out of harms way especially since he acts like any home improving I want to do will turn into a natural disaster,and usually "squashes" the very thought of it very quickly)

 

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN..Mwahaha.............?

 

well after a 8:30pm to 4am night and finally being finished.. removing carpet.. scrapping teh adhisive and the foam from the carpet that was stuck to it.. (which I will add was a very thoughtful idea from the previous homeowners, Im sure they thought they would insure this carpets survival, only thing  they didnt consider was my determination, even in the worst of my pain and aching muscles).

 

 

(Note math below is only a approximate guess and perhaps exaggeration..who knows which probably doesnt add up LOL sheesh Im not that bored.. to put that much thought into the exact timing 

 

 

So... We will just say.. fifteen mins to remove the carpet itself, maybe atmost five mins to bag of the carpet and "willingly" lifted pieces of faom, FIVE hours of scrapping adhesive and foam specks,  Five mins of sweeping said adhesive adn foam and bagging it. twenty mins to mop, appoximately one hour to a hour and a half wait for the floor to dry(YAY COFFEE BREAK) , and 30 mins to apply tiling. 

 

 Ok now im kinda ranting and awaiting a pat on the back here.. back to the point..Now That this was outta the way, I so thought I had all my ripping carpet adn tiling days outta the way... yea right... seeing that I did such a good job and had no complaints about doing it.. another box of tiles popped up (for the hall infront of the basement door to go outside) soo I pondered..and procrastinated for about a week then finally accomplished the agony in that.. not as bad as the first room tho LOL this only being a 3 by 5 ft space.

 

So.. Feeling very accomplished now showing off my work, PAINT was brought into the equation.. (Note the only thing Ive had the pleasure of painting at my house was my kicthen cabinets and my twins room and some in my 5 years olds room, and a wall...dont ask).

 

Soo hearing this being "me" and over thinking the fun and excitement.. agreed.. so beings its a small room, it really wasnt any trouble I thought anyway.. First step taping up the door trims and floor trims..

 

   well in the process of doing so I came across some spider webs along the ceiling cornors.. ick so with no choice but to exterminate them.. I sucked up the webs and ONE spider with a vacume.. .. well after finishing painting the bottom portion of the walls.. It was time to climb the ladder again and finish... well some how this one spider, now trapped in my moms vaccume bag managed to rally its troops..Uh oh... The first one landed on my shoulder causing my paint roller to drop.. and paint to splash everywhere.. mind, I have no problem killing spiders..and usually am not frightened .... just dont land on me.. I may over-react.. just a lil.. my five year old who jumped at the chance to be helpful.. was now laughin and teasing me non stop.. so I grabbed a shoe after getting it off me and sqaushed it... and went back to painting..

 

 

Then my daughter pointed out three more on the other side of the ceiling so I figured Id get  to them when I had finished with the current side.. well one of them manage to make its way all the way over to where i was painting.. (vacumming up one of their kind.. harsh, killing one of them BAD IDEA) so I grab my handy lighter and "heated" it enough to make it drop then shoe'd it, just as before, then eventually It was time to take care of the last one.. so I grab my shoe (it now worked its way onto the ceiling above, coulda just left it go.. but due to prior accurences this didnt seem like a smart idea so I shoed it anyway .

 

Note: Very invigorating. 

 

 

Well finally finished painting yay.. got cleaned up .. and tucked my daughter into bed, five mins later I hear her screaming from her semi  dark bedroom and yelling at me to grab a shoe quick.. a spider resembling the 4 disposed of early had lowered itself via web to eye level of her bed.. Conclusion... You can paint, You can tile, or do anything other household repair, Just beware.....DONT VACUME/BURN/SHOE AKA SQUASH spiders (.. or they will indeed seek revenge.. dare I say on your offsprings . Anyhow that was my eventful night =) hope you enjoyed and I hope the  drawn out explanation wasnt too much.
