Happy 4th of July!!!

Independence Day...4th of July....July 4th. A day for cookouts, family get togethers, fireworks, honoring those men and women who have fought and continue to fight in our nations military, and WORK!!! Once again, I am working (like so many others) on this holiday. I can remember when it wasn't even entertained for anybody to be open for the 4th. Now we are in an era where holidays don't seem to even matter. I wanted to go home this year, but I have to work this evening at my part time job. That has to suck because I am off all day from my full time job. It is what it is.

For those of you who are off, enjoy your day. Have fun and be safe. Thank God for being able to celebrate another Independence Day, and remember if you are a drinker, please drink responsibility.

An Unpretty Result

Parents, talk to your kids about eye care contacts. If you got a pre-teen or a teenager talking about wanting to wear contacts, take them to a licensed eye doctor so the he and she can teach the both of you how to wear contacts, the importance of getting a fitting, and taking care of them. Most kids want them to upgrade their look, and some have even venture out to get them at an easy access. This video here is a story about a young girl who bought contacts off the street. Now she is suffering from eye damage and have lost her sight in at least one eye. This is so sad.

Well...

Another random blog for today. So much has been going on. We wonder about all of the what ifs and what could we have change if we have done things differently. The fact that I had to go back into the workforce with a paycut still bothers me. The bills are barely getting paid, and the job market out here, while appears that more opportunities are becoming available, it's still slow. I am looking for another job now while still working my current job. Things have to get better.

So for the most part it's work and home. On the weekends I do the motorcycle thing when time and money permits. I am also in grad school online, which I am about tired of but I am hanging in there. I can't wait til it's over.

That's all I have for today. Until next time.

Arrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Week two of this marketing class and I am fed up! I am taking this marketing class that is required by all students who are working towards their MBA degree at Jones International University. The class would not be so bad if they didn't expect us to do an entire semesters worth of work in 8 weeks. Even my co-worker, who has a degree in marketing, says the amount of work and reading they are expecting us to do is way too much. If I can "C" my way out of this class, I'm gunning it!! I can't wait until I can finish up with this degree program so I can jump on getting my certification as a pharmacy tech. All my bases are gonna be covered on the full time job as well as the part time. Oh well, time for me to get back to work.

My day

Oh what can I say! My day was just...well I don't even know. I felt like I was doing things wrong and was not doing it to everyone else's approval, yet no one stop to think about what I have done to help them out. I get tired to being called on to help others when they don't appreciate the things that I do. I felt that way about my older sister today when she told me that don't ever include her in anything. I was ready to flip right then and there. Here it is, me who is taking care of her youngest child, making sure that she is fed, going to school buying clothes (can you say I need to be filing her on my taxes???), not to mention making sure that she is included in her child's activities at school but I don't include you?? I was so through with that that I just sat at work quiet most of the day doing my work. I had to meditate on this thing here. Enough of the buffonary, get your game up! Do right, and things will be alright. I guess this was my day to vent. I have to get myself together. I miss blogging here on a regular. I got to get back into it. We bout to get this thing together.

Oh I saw this thing on Facebook yesterday about a Blogalicious Convention and they are voting on the 2011 site. I have never heard of such a thing but it sounds interesting. Catch ya later!

Thirsty Thursday

It's definitely been a minute since I have been on blogger. I am really getting back into the swing of things ( I have said this before), but finally after much adieu, I finally have a computer with internet access. It's a netbook, which works out well for me because I am always on the go, and wi fi is almost everywhere now. This year for me is the year of the gadgets. I have a desktop computer that I bought last year for $50. Everything works well on it, just doesn't have the internet access. I have the printer to go along with it (also $50). And besides this neat littlel computer I am working on, I also have a Gentouch pad on layaway. A Gentouch is something like the I-pad but a cheaper version sold by Kmart. Kmart sold out of this gadget within the first two to three weeks of putting it on the market. Seems as though I would not need all of this when I already have a touch screen phone by Samsung. Certified gadget freak.

Don't get it twisted though, it took a VERY LONG time for me to get some of this stuff. By time I get anything, everyone else I know got the latest and the best. Samsung has a new phone out now but by time I get ready to get it (which will probably be obsolete) something else will come out. Shoot, I work hard for it, so why not get it? Besides these days and times, the internet is very mobile. You got to be able to have access at all times.

I'm looking forward this time to much more entries ahead. As always I am on Twitter, Myspace, and Facebook. You can always hit me up. Later!
