    Stupid tickets

    Have you ever recieved a ticket for something so stupid you just wnt to scream. 
     
    The other day I recieved a ticket, and I didn't do anything wrong I think that cop just wanted to complete his ticket quota for the month. I don't know it just can be easily frustrating.
     
    I know I haven;t been on for a long time. I have just been crazy busy with everything. Sometimes you wish the world could just stop so that you can keep up. But, ofcourse that will never happen. But I will keep you updated.

    Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

    I hope you're ready for a great bird stuffed with dressing and all the trimmings. As for me we will be going to a buffet with my family, I guess it still is all you can eat, also you don't have to worry about any of the dishes.
    Than after that we have to watch the football game, I guess you would say that it is tradition. What kind of things do you do for the holidays? Do you have great food? I hope so, we will see how it goes this year.
    As for christmas It should be fun, its the shopping that kills you off after awhile.
    So long everyone-

    Happy Halloween

    Happy Halloween everyone! I apoligize I have been back in a long while, I have been very busy. But, you know that is life. I hope everyone is going to have a fun time this hallow's eve.
    You have the typical scenerio, dress up in a costume go door to door begging for candy from people you don't know. Then have a stomach ache for a week after, because you pigged out on candy the nights before.
    Then you have the parent scenerio, you decorate your heart out just to get it destroyed by the teenagers that toilet paper your house. Then you run out of candy about 10:00p.m for the trick or treaters. So, you decide to lock your door so you don't have to answer it and dish out candy. While you are trying to relax the door bell is constantly ringing.
    Or if you are not a parent and not in the typical scenerio, you watch a hoor film, as you watch this film you become more, and more intrested. You think you hear things in your own house, or your walking on tiptoes all night long.
     
    What are some of your Halloween customs, or scenerio's? If you would like to share that would be fun!

    Apples and Wine

    My sister sent me an email a while ago and I thought that I would share it with you. I would like to know your thoughts on it, whether you agree or if you disagree.
     
    Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just take the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.......The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
     
    Now Men....Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

    Learning

    Sorry I haven't wrote for awhile I have been very busy with work and the wonderful joys in life. For those that haven't looked at my pictures I got a new car and it is wonderful.
    I have pondered on what I should write today, and I thought to my self how do people learn better.
    So the question for all you out there is how do you learn?
    Whether it be from music, or through reading, watching T.V, you know etc. I know that there are two types of learners visual and audio, which are you?
    As for me I am a very visual learner, as well as hands on. If I can get in there and do it that is always the best way for me v.s. reading a book. (no offense if you like to read) I love to listen to music, if it was between listening to a conference of so sort or music I would be music all the way. I really enjoy looking at photos and art work, to help me spark creativity.
    Well, let me know how you learn best! 
     
    About the photo, I thought it was neat!

    Waiting... Waiting...

    Aaah! I just got back from the doctors office, and man do they make you wait. First you wait in this waiting room with little interest for a half of an hour. Then the nurse takes you back to a the patient room. As you all know the patient room "is as big as a minute."
     
    When you have a three year old and you are sitting in a patient room for an hour you are, ready to pull out your hair.
     
    Finally when the doctor comes in, your child is ready to get out of there. So, the doctor is trying to talk to you at one end and at the other end your child is kicking and screaming. Because he wants to get out of there. The worst is when the doctor gets up and says I will be back in a minute, and never comes back.
     
    So, picture this "holding your screaming child down, while you can here your doctor outside of the room talk by random things." (you can feel the headache gaining speed) "Then finally you get out of there and the receiptionist asks you when do you want to come back?" (your probably thinking the same thing I was, "not again")
     
    I Guess it could be worst, you could be in a patient room waiting forever and the staff totally forget about you. You know that is the reason they don't put clocks in patient rooms. (they don't want you to know how long you have been waiting.)  
     
    I wish everybody a great day! Thank for your comments!

    Life comes and Goes

    Have you ever felt like you are standing still and everything around you is moving very quickly?
     
    When I am at work it feels like that all the time. I arrive at 9 o'clock and before I know it, it is already 5:00 and it is time to go home. Today I sat there for a minute and and watched the people around me and they were constantly moving trying to get from one place to another.
     
    I know that the movie "click" with Adam Sandler just came out, and I guess he could control his life with a remote control. (As you can tell I haven't seen the movie yet.) I am glad that I don't miss a minute of life, with my family. Sometimes I wish it would last forever, and other times I wish it was over with.
     
    I will give you a good example when you have a child before you know it they are grown up, and you feel like you just held them in your arms. But, of course if you don't live with the child people our surprised how much they have grown and then you are taken back. I guess it is because we don't always notice the small things.
     
    I made a promise to myself to notice the small things so that I don't let life pass me by.

    Happy 4th of July

    When we have holidays such as the 4th of July, it tends to bring families closer to one another and appreciate each other. As well as you have the wonders of having the day off from work, being able to join in the festivities. 
     
    I know that there are lots of countries that don't celibrate the same holidays as I do. But, still we all have are traditions and the things that we love to do.
     
    *For those that donot know what the 4th of July is. It is a day where as americans we can celibrate freedom, and independance thaat was brought to us by our founding fathers.*
    (Don't forget Uncle Sam, and the occasional fireworks!)
     
     
    I hope everyone had a good 4th of July! Please Let me know if you did anything fun with your family.

    Paradise

    When you say paradise what do you think of?
     
    I believe everyone has their own definition of paradise, whether it is tropical or even a perfect winter day when the powder is just right.
     
    Everyone has their dream. But, my dream paradise is the one where you do not have any problems at all and your family is safe.(Ya and a Tropical place might be nice) I decided that paridise is a frame of mind not an actual place. But, it is something that you can discover.
     
    Right now in my life I wish I could be in paradise, but some things arn't possible when you click your shoes.
     
    Have a great day!

    What is your movie Type?

    Okay, the top question that I have to ask everyone is what is your movie Type ?
     
    Your answers may differ, because everyone has there type of show. On one hand you have your fraidy cats that are always scared to watch any sort of horror films.Or you have the opposite that are the major thrill seekers looking for any spooky thing.
     
    Then you have your funny Joes that they will alway watch a funny flick over any other pick. These are the ones that are always telling jokes at parties or quoting movies constantly.
     
    You have your drama queens that co-inside with with your chick ficks. All they need is a tear to make it a good movie.(You know the type, the ones that always have happy endings)
     
    If real life is not fun you have the cartoon maniacs, the phase you should have grown out of along time ago. These are the ones that sit an inch away from the T.V. Or even use the excuse I needed to watch it with my kids.
     
    Last but not least, THE ACTION ANDIES! Where they are at the edge of their seats the wholde movie and when explotions happen they scream, or say "Yes, Awsome". These ones are usually in extreme sports, or enjoy watching extreme sports. Thes action andies are always on the go.
     
    The question is who are you?

    Which One would you Choose?

    You are driving your car in a wild stormy night. You pass by
    a bus station, and you see three people waiting for the bus:
    An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
    A doctor who had once saved your life.
    A man/woman you have been dreaming to be with.
    You can only take one passenger in your car. Which one will
    you choose?
    Please explain your answer.
    Think about it before you continue reading.
    You could pick up the old lady. She is going to die, and thus
    you should save her first. You could take the doctor, because
    he once saved your life. This will be the perfect chance to
    pay him back. However, you could always pay the doctor back
    in the future, but you may never be able to find the perfect
    lover
    once you pass this chance.
     
    Who would you choose?

    Movies Comes and Goes

    Don't you notice that when you watch a movie you end up leaving at least twice?  I know at least I have the
    "benefit" to stand up and leave. It always happens when you are in a movie that you never have seen, or when you're in a movie theatre. So, you just spent about seven to eight bucks to see this movie, and you end up leaving...causing in return you to miss good chunks of this said movie. 
     
    Now as fate would have it, you end up missing the most important plot points of the show.  (It gets very frustrating!) After all of this happens you end up having to go and see the movie again so that you can catch all those plot points you missed.
     
    I think to make things worse, your friends that were with you at the movie, starting talking about what you missed.  Leaving you either clueless or surprised at the changing plot points.
     
    So I decided that if you are going to watch a movie, do it alone if you're at the theatre. Or if you're at home, watch your movie when everyone is asleep or no one is home.  (note: if you turn off your cell phone it helps.)
     
    Or perhaps I should just start watching silent movies; that way, if I just have to step out of the theatre, I know I haven't missed any good lines or intense scenes.
