the have not's
09.25.04 (11:08 am) [edit]small children... wow... they just tire me out. i have no idea how they have THAT much energy. there is something we can learn from the tiny tots-be happy with what you got. almost everyone i know is aLwAyS going, "oooo, i wish i could have that!" or "i could die happy if i had that!" the word "that" refers to a thing... things we often just don't need. i mean, would it be nice to have somethings, yes of course it would be. do we HAVE to have the latest sneakers, no; do we HAVE to have that awesome car, no. we'd be just fine without. now, the reason i am relating the "must have's" to small children is this: i was volunteering as a babysitter at the local ymca this morning so their parents could work the hot air balloon festival that's going on in the park near the ymca. the ymca donated us space to keep the kids in, but nothing else-not a rug, not a toy, coloring book, or crayon was to be found for our use. so basically me and 2 other girls were stuck in a room with a table, a few chairs, and 6 kids for 2 hours. fun, right? RIGHT! 2 of the kids had brought with them a bouncy ball; another 2 had brought lunch with them, and the meal's spinner top. that was the exent of our toys. those kids had a blast bouncing the ball around the room, and watching the top dance. one of the other girls got a hold of some masking tape, so we made a hop scotch on the floor, and the kids had fun jumping around there too. finaly after those 2 hours relief arrived in the form of replacements for we babysitters, and our long saught after rug, and 2 boxes of toys! yea! but the point is, those kids had 2 toys to play with for 2 hours. we're talking 2-4 year olds too. they didn't fight; they shared; played with each other and just had fun over all with the smallest amount of child entertianment i have ever seen. we all need to learn to have a blast with what we've got; be thankful; giggle out loud, and just go play!
my purpose here
09.16.04 (8:22 pm) [edit]i was reading inhisnet's blog-http://inhisnet.tblog.com" title="http://inhisnet.tblog.com" target="_blank"http://inhisnet.tblog.com- and i got to thinking. what is the purpose of this blog thing i do? hmmm...that's a really good question, self.
i think the blog started out as a diary of sorts. i quickly realized contrary to my previous thinking, not many-only close friends-are interested in my daily happenings, and complaints about my life, so i changed my content up a little for a more universal feel. so i created my lil slogan-everyday lessons from my everyday life. that's my catch phrase for all the search engines my blogs on, if you didn't already know that. i think that sums up my blog pretty well. i take what i learn in life, and tell my audience about it. like that old adage goes, "learn from others' mistakes; you won't live long enough to make them all!" so yes, that is the purpose of this blog...to make myself look like a complete idiot so i can learn a life lesson, and maybe save someone else from making the same mistake, or enlightening someone to some idea they had never thought about before...that is my purpose here.
i'm sure you all wanted to know that. ;-) but you got it anyway. later gaters. God bless you all!
enthusiasm
09.14.04 (6:27 pm) [edit]well, yes sirrie i have absoulutely nothing to blog about of importance.
i do have something ticking my off though, so yes, i am going to tell you ALLLLLLLLLLL about it, cause this my blog after all; therefore, the content is centered around me. *evil laugh* blogs really are that selfish...have you ever thought about that? anyway... i do think this problem is universal, though so do read on.
enthusiasm... we all have it, or lack it. enthusiasm is that simple. so, are you in or are you out? THAT, my friends, is the question. i'm sure you've all heard my tragic retelling of talisam-"my" service club's story. (in short, the school is not sponsoring the club anymore, so membership numbers are down the toliet, and next year's winter formal will be also, along with our senior scholarships if we don't find some members.) so those of us who are interested in the club HAVE TO get the word out to our classmates somewhere besides on school property. right, so all the remaining members are really concerned and willing to do something right? *game show buzzer* WRONG!!! no one wants to do any work, they just want all the benifits...hahahahahaha i laugh at them. i'm going to laugh evenmore when they wonder where their scholarships have gone, and when the whole school gets mad when there's no winter formal next year. course i won't be the one dealing with the mad school kids, thank heaven. anyway, i'm going to go get onto my club now about this, cause this has really sent me off my rocker. i'm sick of being one of about 3 that care that the club is doomed. thank you.
God bless ya real good now, ya hear? ;-)
televsion espanol
09.11.04 (1:56 pm) [edit]a ese momento, miro televsión español. es muy difícil ir entre ingles y español, tan creo hago escribir mí blog en español también. acabo de bromear. :-D
i won't torture my readers as this assignment is me. :-p watching spanish tv for an hour and 20 minutes every week is not only down right annoying, but hard to find time for. i rarely sit down and watch ENGLISH tv for over 30 minutes straight, for crying out loud. so the majority of my tv experience each week is not in my own language. lol. i suppose that's a good thing, tv tends to just be junk to fill our minds with anyway. my lil sis must be one of those junk piles you make in the middle of your room during spring cleaning by now. all she eats is candy or pizza, and she watches tv her every waking moment that she's not at school or doing homework. although she often watches tv and does homework at the same time. (i have yet to master that skill, or convince my parents i can do my homework while doing anything else for that matter.) you know what i do like about spanish tv? the commercials. that means i get a break from listening. right now the soccer game i'm watching is in half time, so i get like 15 free minutes of spanish tv :-D it's the "diablos rojos" vs. "pumas" de la liga mexicana. don't you want to watch too? it's so much fun. *sarcasm*
well, i think i'll actually pay attention like i'm supposed to now. typing in english, and listening in spanish is giving me a headache. lol. later. God bless! †
destiny
09.10.04 (10:37 pm) [edit]it is not mine; not my destiny to have a turtle. analeise just flat out died on me; yankee died of injuries incurred by something or an other; the other one i had with yankee (her name seems to have slipped my mind) is to this day awol; and now gil has disappeared as well. as i've said, i don't think i'm destined to have a pet turtle.
it happened this afternoon. i was scrubbing down gil's bucket (storage containers are a lot cheaper than 50 gallon fish tanks...you should try them. :-) ). i had placed gil i what i thought was safe keeping- a dug out flower bed in my back yard. i was being eaten alive by mosquitoes so i ran maddeningly inside for a moment to releave myself of the pestalance, then return to prescribed cinderella situation. when i returned, there was no gil to be found, not even drag marks. i scowered the yard- both back and front- and the alley, and even a gander in the neighbors' yards for around 15 to 20 mintues, yet there was-and still is- no gil. my dad helped my look again, this time for closer to 30 minutes when he got home.
how can a 6" turtle just disappear?! *cries* i don't understand!! *sigh* well, no more pet turtles for me. i'll stick with the kitties, and the nocturnal rat/sugar baby (sugar glider). they don't tend to run away...or at least mine don't, my sister's cat is another story altogether.
well, i had better get on to bed cause i need to get up in the morning and go ahead and start on my assignments, since i was too tired to do more than think about doing the assignments tonight. later ya'll. God bless! †
"Jesus was muslim!"
09.06.04 (7:05 pm) [edit]Jesus was muslim!
does it say christianity once in the bible? -Faisal786
hey, thanks for your question and comment. i love comments :-) anyway, to the question at hand, was Jesus Christian? no. was He muslim? no. Jesus was Jesus; He's beyond a label...He trancends labels. the people who follow Him explicity are called Christians (Acts 11:26 kjv -"... And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch." people that see Jesus as only a good guy/prophet call themselves muslim. (or so i understand. enlighten me if i'm wrong.) labels like Christian and muslim are human inventions, Jesus is above labels, and like i said trancends them which is why His choice of heaven and Himself trancends every label man has every created- religion, race, region, sex, language. Jesus is for everyone!

09.05.04 (8:32 pm) [edit]you know what the greatest feeling in the world is? go ahead, take a gander at it.
it's knowing you're loved. do your loved ones know you love them? how about your friends? do they know you love and appreciate them and all they have done/do for you? i challenge you remind everyone that means something to you that they are special, and are loved. it really has the power to make someone's day. i know from experience! :-D by the way...i appreciate alllll my readers!
that's all i have to say. God bless!
at a loss for words
09.04.04 (2:21 pm) [edit]so how do you like my new look? i like it, even though it does look kinda... morbid, but they're flowers, and flowers usually symbolize life. maybe these symbolize a deep dark secretive life... or that's what i "read" into them, but that's just me. anyway...
sometimes my words arrive on my tounge so entangled they never see the light of day, so all the one listening for my words gets is nothing more than silence...cold, hard...silence...sorry, i do not wish to be cold or hard at all, but comforting, yet still the words remain on my tounge hopelessly lost to all understanding. i believe i come off extremely impersonal in person, uncaring, perhaps even unintelligent and dull, but the truth is i'm just sorting... or at least trying to sort through all my thoughts and feelings, and put them into comprehensable words, which i very rarely achieve without reducing the feelings to words so simple the feeling is nothing like i feel it, just flat and lifeless as apposed to the feeling so strong they may nearly jump right of my chest that i feel. i'm sure that was a run-on somehow, but at this point i do not care about my grammer. so, in conclusion, when i seem like i don't care what you are saying, or like i have nothing to say, more than likely i have too much to say, and have too strong of an opinion on the topic before me to make sense of the words that fly into my mouth. just probe me for words if you will, because they will come; they will come.
hope that helps a few personages understan d me, and my loss of words plight a little better. i'm glad God understands, and sees those words that never make it into the world. He pieces them together and understands perfectly what i mean to say. :-) no, i am not expecting you to be like that, because that would be impossible; though your patience would be appreciated. :-) God bless ya.
