This looks interesting. Plus I have never seen a Will Smith movie I didn’t like.

Stress Management

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked:

“How heavy is this glass of water?”

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

The lecturer replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it.” “If I hold it for a minute, that’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you’ll have to call an ambulance.”

“In each case it’s the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”

He continued, “And that’s the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won’t be able to carry on.”

“Whatever burdens you’re carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. Relax; pick them up later after you’ve rested. Life is short. Enjoy!”

And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:

1 * Accept that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue

2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

3 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

4 * Drive carefully. It’s not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.

5 If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

6 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

7* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

8 * Never buy a car you can’t push.

9 * Never put both feet in your mouth
at the same time, because then you won’t have a leg to stand on.

10 * Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.

11 * Since it’s the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

12 * The second mouse gets the cheese.

13 * When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.

14 * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

15 * You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

16 * Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

17 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.

18 A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

9/11 The Real Story???

I came across this on youtube today.  I have to say that I really don’t know what to think about the whole situation.  I am not one to be a conspiracy theorist however they do make a good case for themselves.

Can you say Screwed????

Check out this article: http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/04/10/girl.fights/index.html

I mean honestly people, HONESTLY how stupid do you have to be to 1. beat somebody unconcious and wait for them to wake up to continue beating them, 2. beat them so badly they have to be taken to the hospital, 3. Video tape the entire thing to post on the internet.

How freaking stupid are these people???  Sometimes I feel like the younger generation is getting stupider and stupider.  They never think ahead, and are constantly acting just on impulse.   I can’t believe that no one stopped to say “Wait, um, she is knocked out, this could get serious”.  It is truly despicable the way the younger generation is turning out.  I know they will not get the max penalty of life in prison, but I really hope they get a good amount, none of this probation shit.  The girl has hearing and vision loss for crying out loud, they all need to serve jail time and then maybe they will learn to stop and think about their actions before they do them.

BTW, yes I have added a new Category called “Stupid People”.  Anything I plan on posting regarding truly stupid people will go here…. Damn now I need to recategorized my ex-wifey postings to this…. HA!!!

Weekend Recap

So this weekend was my B-Day.  I’m going to do my best to post a quick weekend recep.  On Saturday (My Actual B-Day) I ended up getting up around 7:30 8:00 and hitting up Destroy All Humans until around 10:30am when we needed to head over to the vet to pick up shadows medicine and then the weekly trip over to my parents house to make sure everything was ok and it was.  From their I headed to Golden Corral for lunch with Jess’s family to celebrate my birthday.  After that, we headed home and I hit up some more Destroy All Humans until about 2:00pm in which we head to the Swim Center in middleburg to take shadow for his normal saturday swim.  (We had Fun!!!).   When I got home I played some more Destroy All Humans until around 11:00 when Jess got home.  We then headed out for a quick bite to eat at BK and then the day was over.   YAY for an awesome birthday.  I really only wanted to game all day and just have a day when I can relax and chill.  I did enjoy taking shadow for swimming cause it is always fun!

Sunday was the party day.   The morning as taken up with some light cleaning (I say light cause I really didn’t do much besides a bathroom, vacuming the stairs, the living room, and the dining room and moving some stuff around so we could put the food out).  Jess really took care of the rest and she did a fantastic job… YAY JESS.

Around 11:00 Jess showed up after running some errands with Michael.  He had brought me a gift that they said I just had to open right now.  Upon opening it, it revealed a…. WII.   YAY!  That totally shocked me, and was awesome.  Michael and I spent the rest of the time before the party hooking up the WII and running some WII related errands like getting a points card, and picking up a game.  We also ran to two different stores looking for cake decorating frosting tips for Jess and she didn’t even end up using them.  But ohhh well.

Nick and Megan arrived first.  Megan brought her awesome Monkey Bread that was a HUGE hit.  To be honest, Nick was being an ass for a good majority of the party.  He ended up pouring beer on shadows head while he was laying on the carpet.  That really really really pissed me off.  Like WTF, what gives you the right to come into my house, and 1. even think it would be funny to pour beer on my dogs head, and 2. pour beer inside of my house, (it got on the dog and the carpet).  Like WTF.

Melissa followed up next and brought with her the newest edition to the family.  Lula Belle.  She is a 10 week old teacup Pomeranian.  I don’t have pictures but I think Mel has some on her myspace account.  Mel was pretty chill throughout the party but had to leave early cause she is getting ready for the trip to Florida. YAY Mel.

TJ and Laura followed in next, followed by AJ and Dana, and finally Zach.  I would say all in all it was a great party.  We had some Wii Super Smash brothers going which Dana, AJ, and Michael totally was killing everyone on.  AJ by far was kicking everyones butt.  Thanks goes out to Jess for putting it all together.

Finally someone drew what I wanted to say….about pokemon

I have to admit that when I was younger I found Pokemon fascinating just because it was a crazy game boy game that I happened to enjoy. Recently I like to leave Cartoon Network and other kid programs on for my dog and I happen to catch it again every so often, but have been interested to find that good old Team Rocket is still in the show… I mean dam, they are still following this kid around???? Finally this awesome comic from VGCats puts it all into perspective.

Havn’t written in awhile

My grandma is very sick…  Thats all I have to say right now.

Finally got Shadow Pictures Up and Working

So I was finally able to move my “Shadow Pictures” from my myspace account over to rock you so I can post it on WordPress. YAY. You should see the link at the top of the page and it is called Shadow Pictures, if not you can navigate here: http://nonatheninja.wordpress.com/shadow-pictures/. I have added some of the most recent pictures of him. Just to recap when we got him he was very under weight at 7 pounds. As of last Sunday when we took him swimming, he is now an impressive 80 pounds even. YAY! I love my puppy.
