Venting!!!!

So, work. Work, work, work...fucking work! Its not so much the company, more like the people who work for the company, and they don't seem to know how to do their job. Its a freaking circus and there are monkeys putting on the show. I mean, it just seems like anyone can b-s their way through an interview and get any old job . People kissin' other people's ass just to get their foot in the door! I'm sorry that I don't brag about myself, and I don't always have a story about being better than everyone. I know I am not very articulate, and I don't really interview well, but I can work my ass off. I can get the job done, plus some! It also helps when you have a 'fair' interview too.....I mean that's just how I feel. And the sucky part is that there really isn't anything you can do about it except be happy you even have a job. And I do realize that work is very, very hard to find right now, but really...and another thing, where has customer service gone? Doesn't it seem like anytime you need help whether it is over the phone or in the store, there is some wise-crack dumb ass that really doesn't wanna help you and could really care less about what the fuck is going on! Companies are just hiring any local scum-bag so they can save some money. But you know what? Karma. That's right, good old fashioned Karma. It's gonna kick in on everyone one of these days and people are gonna have to suck it! Suffer...deal...oh yes. I actually think that part of the economy crap that's going on is just the start of it. People aren't gonna wanna do business with companies that have shitty employee's. So, we shall see what happens....

So anyways, I'm sure you can tell that I am a bit bitter...and I only hope that I can get over it by the end of the week. I mean, I really have to suck it up until March, and then hopefully I can breathe and not have to worry about the shit that's making my life a living hell! But I have my real, true friends to thank for helping me keep my sanity, I love you guys!
 

Happy Obama Day!!!

I just wanna say how grateful I am to have such a wonderful person to be our next president! Finally someone to clean up Bush's mess. But at the same time I feel sorry for him, because no matter who is in that office, it will be hard. I am very happy to have someone that has the balls to bring our country back and get it back on track and especially to bring our troops home!
I just want to say that I don't know that much about politics, but I will check things out before I jump into stuff, and from what I know, our troops have basically been fighting for nothing. Just keeping oil safe in Iraq because oil tycoons (Bush, Cheney, and the rest of the cabinet) want to keep their investments safe. Bush is no idiot, he was well trained by his father about how to run the country, and he sure ran it into the ground.
Not too long ago I spoke with a very good friend of mine that served several years in Iraq, and she told me about all the crap that goes on, and that our government has no clue on what's happening over there. We need to get outta that country and get back on our feet! How the hell can we protect our country from terrorists, when were almost close to a recession and economic failure??? And then everyone is blaming 9-11 and all that crap, well I do give Bush props for getting Saddam Hussein. But that should have been the end of it, and it wasn't. That's where I think Bush went wrong, among other things. Bush did choose WAR, and because of that people close to him gained profit from that. When we got hit in Pearl Harbor, it was almost as bad as 9-11, and that got us into a World War.
So anyways...I am once again very happy that Obama will lead us. He is not only very smart, but his wife is even smarter that he is! Plus he picked an awesome vice to help him in areas that he knows he needs help in. He's not afraid to take a challenge and is very family oriented. So the torch has been passed people, get over it! The next generation has picked up the slack, and going forward. Next will we will be able to have the right to gay marriage around the Nation, which should be allowed since we have freedom of religion, it's not up to us to judge people on what they do, they should be able to be happy to do as they wish. But that's another segment.
Lets just be happy and celebrate, for it is Obama Day!

VOTE!

Well, today I voted for the first time in my life, and I'm pretty excited about it. I also want to say that I voted Barak Obama for president and that I believe in him. So GO OBAMA!!!!!!

OBAMA~08!

Fact Check: Is Obama 'palling around with terrorists'?

The Statement: Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin said Saturday, October 4, that Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama is "someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country."

The Facts: In making the charge at a fund-raising event in Englewood, Colorado, and a rally in Carson, California, Palin was referring at least in part to William Ayers, a 1960s radical. In both appearances, Palin cited a front-page article in Saturday's New York Times detailing the working relationship between Obama and Ayers.

In the 1960s, Ayers was a founding member of the radical Weather Underground group that carried out a string of bombings of federal buildings, including the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol, in protest against the Vietnam War. The now-defunct group was labeled a "domestic terrorist group" by the FBI, and Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn — also a Weather Underground member — spent 10 years as fugitives in the 1970s. Federal charges against them were dropped due to FBI misconduct in gathering evidence against them, and they resurfaced in 1980. Both Ayers and Dohrn ultimately became university professors in Chicago, with Ayers, 63, now an education professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Obama's Chicago home is in the same neighborhood where Ayers and Dohrn live. Beginning in 1995, Ayers and Obama worked with the non-profit Chicago Annenberg Challenge on a huge school improvement project. The Annenberg Challenge was for cities to compete for $50 million grants to improve public education. Ayers fought to bring the grant to Chicago, and Obama was recruited onto the board. Also from 1999 through 2001 both were board members on the Woods Fund, a charitable foundation that gave money to various causes, including the Trinity United Church that Obama attended and Northwestern University Law Schools' Children and Family Justice Center, where Dohrn worked.

CNN's review of project records found nothing to suggest anything inappropriate in the volunteer projects in which the two men were involved.

The extent of Obama's relationship with Ayers came up during the Democratic presidential primaries earlier this year, and Obama explained it by saying, "This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood … the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago — when I was 8 years old — somehow reflects on me and my values doesn't make much sense."

The McCain campaign did not respond Saturday to a request for elaboration on Palin's use of the plural "terrorists."

Verdict: False. There is no indication that Ayers and Obama are now "palling around," or that they have had an ongoing relationship in the past three years. Also, there is nothing to suggest that Ayers is now involved in terrorist activity or that other Obama associates are.

~~~In light of this information, I would just like to say this...Get your facts straight before you come to me about my political beliefs. Thanks!

Life.

So lately, well actually just the last 2 days or so, I end up taking time out of my day and just watch people and think. I'm usually in my car when I do this. To me, being in my car, sometimes listening to good music (at least what I think is good, some may disagree otherwise), I just reflect on myself and my life. To tell you the truth, 10 years ago, I would've never thought that I would be where I am at now. I think that I've made it pretty far to be where I am today, and even thou some would think that I am not that successful in my life, they obviously don't know or understand what I've had to go through to get here today, or even be alive today. I've escaped death twice in my existence, and not many people know that. I think about 3 or 4 people know that really. So I just wanted to reflect on myself. So 'Hurrah' to me!!! I have a great lifestyle, groovy car that I love, a good job (lately has unfortunately been a letdown thou), a boyfriend that has really been there for me all along, a faithful doggie companion, loving kitties, and some really great friends. I am generally at peace with myself right now, lets hope this stays like this and I'm good for a while. So thank you everyone for being in my life and having faith in me.

froggy....

yeah. its dead. im sad....

A BAD DAY!!!!

So today started off pretty good, and now its really not so good.

Lets see...well, it started off with getting my nails done, no problem. Then I had to return the tank I got for my frog and replace it cause it was cracked and damaged. Got that done. No problems.
Well, when I got home, the one frog in the 'holding tank' was just float'n at the top. They tend to do that here and there, so I just kinda tap on the outside and then they move or do something so I know Im good. Well, today she didn't do anything. Just floating there. I tapped again and she moved a tiny bit. So now I had to act fast and get the other tank up and going. They've been in the other tank for way too long and it was really gross. So now I got everything good, and both frogs are in the new tank. Well the one is still floating and if I shake the tank a bit or tap on the side, she'll move here or there and then just float again. She also is very fat and 'bloaty' and I am really worried now that I didn't help out in time. I am sooo angry with myself right now. I feel so bad that I can't really do much else. Just keep an eye out and watch to make sure she's not dead or she survives this. I am a horrible parent! I would not be a good mom. So the frog is just floating, all fat and it's mouth is open a bit, and I don't know what to do. Then when I go online to these stupid games I play where you create your own farm or world, I find out that I am kicked out of my stupid alliance for being inactive, and it's only been like 2 or 3 days, and people are now attacking me. I am beyond pissed! I actually have a life people!!! I don't sit at the computer day and night playing stupid games. I can't believe this. I am just really not a happy camper right now. I need to go...ugh!!!!

MY FISH!!!!!

That's right...my lovely fish has died. I had him for 2 days...and now he's gone. So today's not going so well. I should have known last night, he didn't look so grooovy. I was just thinkin that maybe I should move him out of his little tank thing tomorrow, and now its too late. I called the pet store to see if I can replace him, and they said yes. So that's kinda cool. But it was so hard to find my white guy, and now I don't know if I can find a replacement. So I am sad.
Support Please?

My New Addition to the Family!

So, for a while I've been wanting to get another Beta. I had one as a child, like most of us do, and of course it died about a year later. So for the last 4 or 5 months I've been on the hunt for one Beta in particular...a pure white one with no other colors. Well, it's actually harder than it seems. They either have some with blue or red or even pink. Well, today when I was at Petsmart hunting around for a tank (please read previous blog) I saw this beautiful white Beta. Couldn't resist, so I bought him with my last 4$ (and I did get a tank too for a total of 32$!!!). I've decided to name him Sephiroth, cause my frogs are named Cloud and Tifa (reference Final Fantasy 7 please). I also think it would be cool to get a lava lamp tank for him, how sweet would that be!!!! Well, anyways, my snail family is still over-running the tank. No new news there, but I do look forward to the fish that Im gonna get that will enjoy scarfing down the little buggers soooon!

--->(Sephiroth from FF7)
