The Military

A lot of my friends have either joined the military or are toying with the thought.

Honestly I haven't seen much good come out of the military. Yes you learn discipline and you get paid and sometimes even see the world (or just Iraq). That doesn't mean you should join.

Many of my friends who have joined or are thinking about joining joined because they felt they had no other option. This should never be a reason to join the military.

My dad had to leave college and get a job and support his family. He is now working an incredible job even though he never got a degree. Even if you fail in life and things don't always go your way that doesn't just mean to give up!

The military is like a job. It is not something to step into lightly or as a last resort.

I am not anit-Military. I support our troops and are Military but I don't think that the way they are recruiting and reasons people are joining are good.

Just remember every time a door closes another one opens. Even if everything blows up in your face your parents kick you out of the house and you have no money or transportation and nothing but the clothes on your back there is always an option.

Never give up and always keep living. We live in America where anything is possible.

Keep It Real and always believe in yourself.

Craptastic Day

I am having a Craptastic day today. I woke up later than I wanted to. Couldn't get a hold of the lady in Gluckstadt about German Fest so I had to drive all the way out there this morning. Went to McAllister's and spilled my entire cup of water. Then the waitress wouldn't leave me a lone and kept asking me if I needed anything. Finally got up to school and realized I need coffee but can't afford to get any at the moment.. I still have to write two stories for tonight and some other homework and my stream keeps cutting in and out! OH and when I walked into the library I set off the alarm some how which has never happened before.

Today has been a craptastic day!

X-MEN

I am a huge fan of the X-Men movies (and no it's not just because of hugh jackman but that is a big reason). They have been releasing information about the new movie but mostly I can't seem to get the story. I've heard that they are going to have Gambit... Now didn't they say Gambit was going to be in Last Stand? Fox stop teasing us with Gambit!

Now I've heard a couple things but I'm a little confused... Are they making 2 movies? A Magneto movie and Wolverine? I've been kinda lost on that one... But now that they have released that the new movie could be X-Men Origins I'm guessing it's just one movie.

A big possiblity is that they are going to have a whole new X-Men Origins series (which yes Hugh Jackman will be Wolverine). I'm really excited to hear more on this so if you do find something out comment and let me know!

Saturday Morning

Blogger has a jingle to promote their new tool to mobile blog. It kinda made me want those few seconds of my life back...

So last night was a blast up at the Celtic Fest. I bought an Umbrella and a tiara with ribbon or whatever. It was soooo much fun! The vendors this year are cool. The Music was good. The food looked tasty. I missed the Whisky tasting.. But there is always next year. I can't wait till tonight. TOnight is the dancing. So if your in the area stop by it's a blast!

Right now I'm sitting in the upstairs room waiting to get into my room so I can get some clothes to wear, take a shower, Start my laundry and stuff. Of course I can't since my Grandmother is taking a 10 AM nap... I dunno strange.. So I'm just sitting here typing away wishing I could hop in the shower.

I'll keep ya'll updated on all the fun...

Keep it Real

यू टिम त्रवेलिंग देमों!

Ok so it's still doing it whatever...

So it's been a few days and I've noticed I'm focusing to much on justin.tv. I really have to get into my studies and focus! If I don't I'll have to stop! :( and I don't want to do that quite yet.

So far I've had a great week in class. I learned a lot in Karate today. I did not enjoy Chapel.

I miss Mike terribly! I wish he was here it would make things so much easier! I feel so empty without him :(

Hey go check out Tuesday Night Tech Dot Com I did a promo for them it's kinda awesome.


Also this is something I quote a lot because well my brother is a loser. So watch this and you'll understand...(if you haven't seen it yet).

चपल

As most of you know I am going to Mississippi College which is a private Baptist college. I'm not Baptist I am Catholic! So this makes it all the more interesting.

Well today I had my first Chapel. Chapel is once a week and required for all students. You only get 3 absences or you don't get credit. So I walk into Chapel today expecting the worse. It was worse than I expected. They had set up the front of the church like a rock concert! There was a smoke machine which made me feel ill and bad lighting. So I'm sitting in the very top right hand corner of the church chillin. They start playing really bad Christian Rock songs.

When it comes to church and music I don't think it should sound like a Rock concert. I think that it's stupid! So they play some songs people get up and sing hold up there hands whatever. Anywayz after that the President got up and spoke for like 30-40 minutes and it was actually pretty interesting. He talked about his family and how he had issues with his Parents growing up and how he found God and I thought that was appropriate. It was a good speech, but it was a very "I'm gonna save everyone speech". Never the less I enjoyed the speech. Then they played more crappy music. When the music was over it was time to leave.

Honestly, I don't know if I can take this every week until I graduate.

By the way Karate is awesome! I'll post some pics and see if I can get some video from class for ya'll.

So Blogger hates titles now obviously. Every time I go to type in a title it does this: ???? ? ??? ????????.

Thats Uncool Blogger FIX IT!

Anywayz, I went out last night with the Grant had a blast. We headed up to Caines and got some grub. After that we headed down to Cups for coffee. I never got my coffee thanks to the long lines and the annoying high school kids! Now normally I can handle the high school scene. My lil brother is in High school and I had a couple of friends just graduate, but last night was stupid ridico! We get out of the car walk in and this kid who couldn't have been over 15 starts walking up backwards next to me trying to get me to go out with him. He had to be rollin. I asked him "How old are you?" he said "Oh, I'm 18 you wanna go to a bar I know a great one" I was like "Sweety you are to young for me and I am so out of your league" he kept pestering me though! Finally I got inside and the line was so stupid we decided to leave. As we were leaving the 15 year old was holding up traffic because he was laying in front of a car that was driving through the parking lot.

After that we met up with Rachel, Mirehead (is that how you spell it?) and Sam up at the Logans. It was fun and the girl that was supposed to be our waitress walked out as we sat down.

We ended up at mireheads and watching the Futurama marathon WOOT! And stuff. It ended up being an awesome night.

Keep It Real

1. This is a clean stream! Try to keep it that way, thanks!
2. Do Not Spam!
3. Be nice!!! If you are nice, I will talk to you.
4. Yes, I have a boyfriend. No, it's not Grant!

So those are some things I just wanted to clear up. I hope y'all enjoy and stuff. Try to follow the rules and be polite.

Keep it Real.

Went out with Grant and got food and had some fun woot!

First Viddler Blog

This is my First Viddler Blog! WOOT!
It's the first day of classes so check it out :)

Right now I am sitting in Jazzmans Cafe at MC.
My Current iTunes Track is "What I Got" Sublime.


I just got through with my first class with was Fundamentals of Radio. I'm chilling up here until my next class at 1:00.

The class seems like it's going to be fun. The Instructor seems cool and we are going to get to do some radio work.

I love my major! I love every aspect of my major and it was soooo hard to pick a focus. I find the media in general a fun and interesting topic. We are in the Media/Technology/Information age. The Media is going through a major revamp due to the internet and it's something I am really interested in and want to learn more about.

I think that Internet TV is so going to kick off major soon. Already there are popular shows on the Web like AskANinja. And if you don't know what AskANinja is than you have a problem. Also the Strong Bad E-mails have been popular for a long time.

Every aspect of the media is being effected by the internet! Radio, TV, Newspapers, Advertising, etc. It should be interesting to see what happens in the future.

In L-E News: As I was driving to class this morning I almost had a run in with a Deer again! I was driving down Clinton Blvd. and A deer was standing there and started to run then hesitated but thought about hitting my car.

My car must have some sort of Deerdar that says "Hey I'm a target hit me!" or "Deer Suicide machine!" I dunno

Leave me a Comment internet!

Still No Phone

So still no phone. It seems it might be awhile until I can get a new phone. I'll post when I do though :)

Classes offically start tomorrow and I'm stressed. I have no idea what to expect! I am soooo nervous. I want to do well. If you didn't know I don't really have the best track record when it comes to school. I'm trying to change all that.

Really I am trying to reinvent myself. I use to smoke and I quit. I'm trying not to go out as often as I did. I didn't like the person I became so now I am changing. GO ME!

So now I'm off to bed since I do have a 9AM...

Goodnight Internet!

My Cell Phone Broke!

I just got back from Cell South and I still don't have a working cell phone. The guy that assisted me though was very helpful and tried everything to fix my phone. Unfortunately, my phone is not repairable. I thought ok well that's fine it will be just like when I had my Nokia. WRONG! My Warranty ran out a year ago and my Contract runs out in November (even though it should run out in October!)

The guy was nice though and gave me some batteries and the only way to get my phone to work is if you put in a fresh battery and hold the very bottom of the phone by the speaker together. So I can make calls (brief calls


And this is my phone:
My Phone with the huge crack!


How I have to hold my phone to get it to turn on and work


What happens if I don't hold it just the right way


So now I have to buy a new phone. I'm thinking of just getting it off the website since I have to get my Dad to go in the store with me to sign (and that is impossible).

Here are the phones I am looking at:



The newer version of my old phone:


The phone I really really want but probably won't get...

August in Mississippi

It's August in Mississippi so of course it's hot. This year in particular has been a scorching one. For the last week we have had no or little rain in the area and temperatures continue to rise. Right now it is 103 degrees Fahrenheit with no clouds or little to no breeze. There have been a few deaths across the state due to heat as well as West Nile.

My advice to anyone living in the same conditions would be to stop going outside. Stay some where with a working air conditioner. Don't do to much during the day. It's almost so hot that I would cancel school and work! I mean seriously! It's this kind of heat that makes you not want to even eat. Drink plenty of Water and don't drink anything that dehydrates like coffee or alcohol.

I for one am going to stay in my room where there is no light, a fan, air condition, and plenty of water.


Recent Events:
I'm no longer attending Southern Miss anymore (again I know). I left because I couldn't keep my grades up. The mixture of not sleeping due to dorm life, getting sick multiple times throughout the semester, insomnia for a month, and crappy professors resulted in my withdrawal. Since June I have been attending Mississippi College in Clinton. I've moved back in with my parents for the 2 remaining years of college. I'm still a Communications major with a focus in PR and hopefully a minor in Graphic Design. So far at Mississippi College I've made 2 B's and an A. I'm still with Mike (whom just came to visit) and I'm happy.

Southern Miss has a lot of problems that they need to address concerning renovation of dorms, firing and hiring professors, and they should probably not just let everyone in that applies. I know it's a public college and all but honestly they really do let anyone and everyone in even if you don't meet the requirements. Now that the school is under a new President hopefully things will change and I may consider going back for grad school. At this moment though I'm happy with my situation and where I am. Except for the whole Mike thing, I wish he was going to school with me up here.

Got Sick!

So Not only did I slip and fall in the commons this morning because of a puddle by the place to put your trays I also became ill. I ate the eggs which usually I don't have a problem with. This morning though was a different case. I got sick to my stomach and still feel pretty gross. Something needs to be done about the commons. I know more people that get food poisoning and stuff like that from the commons. They obviously don't keep the food fresh or aren't storing it properly. I think it's about time for the health department make a surprise visit!
