Today is my born on date! WOOWHOOOO! One step closer to 33!

ive never posted from my cellphone before

Amazingly I'm not as mad as I thought I'd be. I feel sorry for the people who felt they had to steal our stuff. They might have gotten away with it for the moment, but there is a scripture in Corinthians that really sums up how I feel.

1 Corinthians 6:9, 10
9 What! Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, 10 nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God’s kingdom.

So my dear thieves, unless you change your ways you will not gain everlasting life, much less go to heaven. God also says Vengence is mine. So its not up to me to try to make these dudes pay. They'll get theirs because of their actions. So enjoy the ipod!

Some idiot broke into my car last night. They broke into a number of cars in the complex. They got my ipod and ripped my adapter off so that the cassette part was broken off into the tape player. I guess they just reached in and snatched it. They also went through my glove box but I don't keep anything in there so they came up short. It was an old ipod nano, I got it back in 2006. I'm not so upset over the ipod as I am over the window. That's $145. Not as much as I thought it was going to be but money out the window nonetheless. Normally I don't leave my ipod in the car, but I do leave it in there from time to time. If I buy a new ipod I certainly won't be leaving that one in there.

Is the economy really that bad? Are we reduced to stealing ipods and radios? I'm going to keep my eye on craigslist to see if it shows up there. Not that I could identify it, but I could if they left the plastic cover on it.

Maybe this was an odd observation, but I've never seen a black family on that show. Only white people or hispanics...and really only one hispanic family I think. I wonder if its a cultural thing. Pride maybe. Not wanting to air family laundry on national tv. I mean I know black people drink and do drugs so its not that we dont suffer from the same things. anyway..carry on

Fringe rocks!

mmmmm mcdonalds sweet tea

Does this mean we're free now?

Is it me or are there a lot of people angry at Obama and Democrats. I mean, I've seen people on message boards calling him Hussien Obama. I mean, I know that's his name, but they emphasize it like he's a terrorist or a muslim or something. USA Today had a story about cosmetic surgery procedures(botox and the like) picking up in the dc area before the inauguration. These nimrods on the message boards started laying into the people with their liberal this and that. Dems are terrible, why don't they give that money to charity, feed poor people, save the world.

First of all, just because THEY can afford to have plastic surgery and YOU can't doesn't mean they have to donate it to anybody. If I can afford to take a Caribbean vacation for a week doesn't mean I should stay home just because you can't afford it. Last time I checked it was their money and they can do what they please with it. Its not rich peoples job to save the world or pull people out of poverty. You give what you can if you want to.

sorry, don't mean to rant but its annoying.

here's a link to the story

Today is the last day of the conference. I feel like I've been down here forever. I've learned a lot though. I really started to learn a lot yesterday. I'm going to bug the teacher for extra help today. I'm learning things down here that my coworkers don't even know. I just hope I'm able to go home and apply it.

It's been good to get away from home and a couple situations that had been going on. I wish I could stay away. I was thinking about taking a sabatical to the University of North Carolina, but when I mentioned it my mother freaked. I would be able to learn so much if I did. I still want to see if I can get away for a semester. It wouldn't cost as much and I'd only be away from home for about 4 months. I could easily swing a student loan for the money to pay my mortgage back home..well I guess I could. I could try anyway. Maybe its a pipe dream, maybe not. we'll see. Maybe I could find a comparable program locally in D.C. I just know the teacher of the program down at UNC is awesome. Really awesome.

I'm headed to Miami for a business trip tomorrow, I'll be there until Saturday. I'm excited about the class and even more excited about the weather. Plus who doesn't like a free trip on the company? I really won't be able to enjoy the city because I'll be in class from 9am to 9pm. We won't be in there constantly but it will be an all day thing. I was going to try and look for some bars or clubs to go to but I think South Beach is going to be very far away from the University of Miami where I'll be staying.

Finally going back to work today. I haven't been off for the holidays or anything but the newsroom has been dead. EVERYBODY was off it seemed like. We were leaving early most days and there wasn't much to do. That made me nervous. I wanted to work and get used to this new position. I want to gain the confidence that I know what I'm doing. Anybody know of any good restaurants in Coral Gables?

Don't take two no-doz at the same time. I don't know how I'm going to sit through the meeting with my heart racing like this. I feel like I'm about to have a heart attack. I only too them because I was dragging tail from a nap I was taking, now I'm about to bounce off the walls.

shoot!

I'm trying to stay up until midnight but i'm so tired. I'll stay up until 12:05 then i'm OUT!

I have watched every showing of A Christmas Story today, from 8 am to the last one that started at 6pm. I'm pleased..now I need to go get some Korean Food!

I love viewing my friends of friends page on LJ. I get to see some interesting new folks and I also keep up with Ohnotheydidnt from there, but now....NOW someone's friend has friended a group where the purpose is posting those annoying dragon eggs so now the WHOLE friends of friends page is filled with people begging other people to click those dragons and just a sprinkle of regular peoples journal entries! I was about 10 pages into it and I had only seen two or three regular journal posts. Jeez, it didn't bother me at first but I used to really enjoy that page, now its just annoying.

Pooh on that! I have a yucky cold. Stuffy in the head. Its no fun but I'll get through it.

My throat began to burn last night. I got up and got some throat candy and that made swallowing tolerable. I knew something was up yesterday, I felt this tingling in my head. Now I know that I'm about to get sick. Pooh. I don't mind the time off work but I'd rather not be sick. So I wonder when its going to get bad. I mean I'm still up and functioning right now but I feel a little pressure in my head right now..so we'll see.

I realize I haven't been writing anything at all lately. Life is crazy. I'm coming out of a depression, not sure if I'm all the way out but I'm treading water. i've been dealing with weight issues and health concerns. Went to the doc friday and my thyroid is hyperactive, not sure if its enough for meds or treatment. We're going to do another blood test and a thyroid scan to see whats up. I have zero energy these days. Just the thought of going to the gym makes me tired. I played in a flag football game last night and I was pretty winded. Its very embarrassing. I mean, I'm an athlete at heart. I've always seen myself as such. So to be putting on weight and having little to no energy the way I do is really disheartening. I generally have to pop a caffeine pill to stay awake at work.

I go see another doc in the morning for a possible medication change. I'm tired of pills, i'm tired of being tired, i'm tired of gaining weight. I just want to feel whole and normal and energetic..like i used to. :(
