Where Have You Been?!?!?!?!?!?

Where have I been… well let’s see I have been working a lot like always. My friends help keep me sane when I am off though and I am grate full for that … I have had a few issues come into my families life and it has been a lot to think about. My uncle was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancers last month. It is in his lungs in his liver and on his strum. He has been the major father figure in my life and I love him like a dad and I can’t even start to think about what I would have done with out him teaching the things he has. This month he has had 3 chemo treatments and all his blood work is looking good, which is a blessing. He is having a benefit for him October 28th and I work that week but I am going to try and be there as well as join in on the poker run. If anyone that reads this want to go let me know (the 2 people that I know read this … ) I am being told by my friend that I need to blog more or she will kill me so I am going to try and full fill her request. = ^ ). Many things are going on and I need to start posting just to release it I guess (so much for this being just random thoughts LOL) maybe a video or 2 and a few pictures who knows. More to come when it shows up & Thank you for reading

Working For Yourself....

when do we cross the line when it comes to working "too much". i have recently pulled over 80 hours of over time and this got me thinking... why am i not dead yet? is it cause i have an office job? maybe but i am not tired of it nay i love to keep busy and work. now don't get me wrong i LOVE the paycheck as well but i got asked by my boss the other day " if you need to take a break i can have some one else cover your shift. and as i had been covering someone else shift and i am now on the last leg of my shift, i started to ask my self why am i not burned out as it were. i mean i have friends and i could be hanging out with but why am i isolating myself to my work $$$ aside? i think i am one of the few of my generation that doesn't mind working better yet enjoy working. when i am doing something and using the skills i have learned to complete a task i feel fulfilled and like i have earned the right to wake up the next morning. and when i am not at work i find more and more stuff to do while hanging out with friends or if i go to the clubs i usually clear the table i am sitting at and "help out" helping out almost got me thrown out of a hotel ... that's a story for another day. but my nickles worth here is that kids now a days have video games and computers that they will play with all day but when it comes to work if it is not within reach or if they have to turn off their game they don't want to do it. i say the fix for the next generation is for a complete change. i remember when we use to BEG my mom to outside.. now if you get grounded you have to go outside and play. lets take away the computers in the room and the video games in the room and the TV's even and lets get back to basics. make your kids earn everything they have from the games to the computer to the "cell phone" [another rant for later] if we would all get back to those basics then maybe we can save the future.

Poison And Their Thorn

If every rose has its thorn what do we do we do when we find a rose that appears to be thorn less? do we keep our self's on guard till that thorn is reveled? do we go about as if we know nothing about said thorn and act shocked when we get pricked? this is an issue i see many people deal with as they go about daily tasks in various parts of their life. if you get surprised that something went wrong wither it be in a relationship or in work or in anything else just remember Poison sang about it and we didn't listen. i am not saying to be hard to everything in your life. we all feel and need to express emotion as we are humans. what i am suggesting is that you do not let one thing ruin your day to day . if you had a good job and lost it .. o well start looking for something better you never know what may happen. if you lost you man or your woman. remember someone better looking might come along. or someone that will love all of your flaws might come along... or hell someone with more money. :) take you interactions with people and with everything you do with a grain of salt cause life is not that serious and we all will one day not be here so have fun and make the most of your rose while you have it and if you get pricked by said thorn. put a band-aid on it and move on to the next rose. =^)

Cookies Fourtune

So tonight I ordered Chinese food for a local restaurant and i had told them that I would be grateful if they game me a few more cookies. When it had arrived the bag was closed and I couldn't smell the wonderful smell of the Lo mein like i normally do. All I smelt was fortune cookies. This was due to there being 21 cookies in my bag. O how I was overjoyed. After I enjoyed the cookies I figured it would be cool to type up and share the fortunes and wisdom that has been departed upon me by these wonderful delights.

1. Confidence of success is almost success.
2. Determination is what you need now.
3. Every wise man started out by asking many questions.
4. Don't accept that others know better than you.
5. Discontent is the first necessity of progress.
6. Confidence is the hinge on the door to success.
7. Every artist was first an amateur.
8. Courtesy costs nothing.
9. Creative energy is up - capitalize on it.
10. Don't waste time on what might have been
11. Affirm it, visualize it, believe it, and it will actualize itself.
12. Do not desire what you do not need.
13. Despair is criminal.
14. Discipline is wisdom and vice versa.
15. Don't ask, don't say. Everything lies in silence.
16. Courage is the mastery of fear - not the absence of fear.
17. Discriminating mind leads you in the proper direction.
18. Don't get so caught up in the daily grind that you never find any time for yourself.
19. Don't be afraid of opposition; remember, a kite rises against the wind.
20. Do you see difficulty behind every opportunity, or opportunity behind every difficulty?
21. Don't forget, you are always on our minds.

that last one is kinda weird but it was good cookies either way =^) what was the best fortune cookie you have ever received? leave me a comment and don't forget to tell your friends :)
