Saturday, December 20, 2008
so i figured i'd get on here and blog a bit. first of all happy holidays, whatever ones you celebrate. if you dont celebrate anything, happy holidays anyway..because im going to enjoy mine, and even if its just another day for you, I hope they are happy.
anyway, here is something really interesting i learned the other day, did you know that the "under god" portion of the pledge wasn't in the original? it wasn't put in until the 50s when we wanted to distance ourselves from the cimmunist states.
this has changed my mind about the deal. you see, im for religous acceptance and equality, whatever faith you have, i am happy for you, because to believe in anything is special. so with the whole pledge thing i alway thought "thats how it was made, its just two words, if you dont like them, dont say them.....but now that i've found it isnt part of the original, i say, take them back out, and preserve the original integrity.
i especially think its silly that it was put in to distance ourselves from communism. just like people are made to believe that socialism is evil nowadays for some reason. whats so bad about people deisring to share and take care of each other. now i understand that communism isnt good because of the dictatorship and force portion, but socialism is the public wishing to provide for the public...and i think thats wonderful
anyway, thats another point entirely, wow look, i've got some thoughts actually proceeding into a full-fledged blogg....lol
so you may be wondering, what do i believe in? not that i think it matters so much in comparision to what i write, i'll tell you the basics.
i believe in a higher power, i used to only believe in one god, but now, odly...after studying the bible more, i think there may be a possiblity for there being more than one...not that i think that really matters.
i do believe in an afterlife of some sort, though of what kind, i do not know...my desire for the afterlife is to learn and to watch the universe grow...can you imagine watching the progression of life...wow...
i do not believe you have to accept anyone as a "savior" or "prophet" or whatever to be admitted into the afterlife, i believe you have to life a generally good life and to try to do the right things to get "there"
i also believe in reincarnation, i believe it is a choice whether to be reincarnated or not, and i think that i have been around many many lifetimes in the past, though i think this will be my last round before retiring to the afterlife..lol
i do not believe that whatever supreme being is around is omnipresent (knows all things..etc etc) why...just read anything relating to any god...even in gen1 or gen 2 of the bible. if god knew everything, then why would he have to search to find answers and such?
anyway, i believe in evolution, though not neccesarily the way darwin had it, and not everyone who is an evolutionist is a darwinist..for those of you who believe so...
i believe in a supreme being largely because i believe in evolution. first of all, something had to start life...because i do not think that random chemicals "pop" and life happens...also, if darwin were correct then the massive amounts of information in our genes would be impossible as natural selection erradicated genes and through genetic history we have gained more and more genetic information, as have other life forms...where does this genetic information come from? it has to come from somewhere...and thus i believe in a higher power
so what am i? i used to say a christian...then a non-traditional christian...then a monotheist....but now? i have no idea what to call myself. i can't say im a christian because althought i certainly believe that jesus was a person, i do not know if he was the son of god or not, and as with many other religions, i do not believe that saying someone is your "savior" no matter the religion or thier "miracles" is how you get into heaven. i cant consider myself a monotheist anymore because i now believe that there is an option for additional gods.
those of you who are christians, might now not want to read my posts anymore, and thats fine, you decide what goes into you mind, and it is wonderful that we have that choice to make. however, i hope you do still desire to read what i have to say.
also, you might find it interesting that i developed many of my spiritual thoughts based on what i've read, largely, in the bible. i have also read some other texts, though not nearly as in depth.
however, understand as well, no matter what religion you are, i do not seek to change your belief, i truly appreciate that you have faith, it is a wondrous and powerful thing. but also, i warn you to understand that blind faith can be a very dangerous thing should it be abused, so follow your heart, mind and conscience when acting on matters of faith, if you believe in whatever power you do, they will speak toyou there.

Man, I'm Lazy
You must be thinking to yourself, "Man, this lady is lazy...haven't seen a blog from here in a while..." Well, yeah, first of all, I am lazy...lol.
But, this time, its not the reason for the lack of blog. I feel like I'm running rampant. i have finals this week and next week, my little girl is teething, and I'm getting used to my husband being home every weekend (versus every few months...not that I'm complaining...well a little....its just a change of pace and such....much love to you honey). Combine this with various activities with my grandmother, grocery shopping, CEO volunteer work that had to be done yesterday (and yeah, I got it done...right under the wire), plus trying to catch a little down time in between.
Also, I'm making a recipe book, a peotry book, and a photo book; I'm trying to get all my X-Mas gifts together for ordering (going with a theme this year, and doing it all online.....Tools for Everyone...supposed to work out cheaper...and so far, if you think about it...it does....plus kind of neat...and easier to find gifts for everyone).
Oh, and then I have to switch over my liscence, plus my husband has to get his done tomorrow, and I have to get him a new laptop because he fried his (well, it wasn't his fault, really).
I'm trying to motivate myself to put away laundry and do dishes, and especially to finish an essay for one of my finals (Ugh....).
December is a hectic month, at least for me....Bring on the new year!

A little bit of me.
Well, I love to play massive RPG games. But, if you're gonna be addicted to something, this is the least harmful..lol, but at least I get other things done as well, and don't spend ALL my time in fantasy-land.
I have 1 little girl, 1 dog, 1 husband (it'd be kinda weird to have more than one of those...lol)and generally love life, even with its ups and downs...and belive me, I've been riding it on the downhill slopes a lot...which while great for rollercoasters, sledding, and bike rides, is not so much fun in real life.
Anyway, I have the attention span of a goldfish so I play games sparatically, and hour or so on, then a few off, etc etc etc.
My greatest loves in life are, of course my family, friends, and food.....mmmmm....I'm just glad it doesn't stick to me too much...guess running after a nearly 2 year old keeps you in shape.
I love doing yoga (none of that crazy stuff you see in movies though) but have a problem with consistency.
I'm pretty sure I'm a little obsessive compulsive, because everything has to be perfect or a disaster for me to be happy, no middle ground for this girl!
I love to argue, and generally know what I'm talking about because I also love to research.I try to be a great friend to anyone who needs one, because I've been where I didn't have any- I'd rather have no friends than fake ones.
Everyone needs someone who they can confide in and not judge them.
Honesty is important to me, and I will tell you exactly what I think.
Well, that's me, take it or leave it. Good luck on your exploits!

The Snow Walker
As she walks across the snow, she leaves no footprint, no evidence of her ever being there.
But as she walks she brings life, life to the plants as they start to grow in the bitter cold, and then to the mice and the animals as they start to awaken, and the sun comes up to spread light across the vast plain of darkness.
She treads quietly, as to not break the great peace, but to let it sleep, dreaming its dream of everlasting harmony.
Then she steps too hard, shattering the peace and awakening the chaos.
She starts to run, leaving deep trenches in the snow, leaving evidence she was there.
Then, they see her, her hair like fire, her white gown blowing in the wind.
They run after her.
Then she turns to look at her almost imminent fate, but they stop, seeing the glory and the wilderness in her eyes, they turn around, satisfied with having seen her.
They leave, leaving her alone, once more she is alone, free.

INSTALLING A HUSBAND
Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such asRomance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5,and then installed undesirable programs such as NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1.
Conversation 8.0no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.
What can I do?
Signed,
Desperate.
DEAR DESPERATE,
First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.
Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0update.
If that application works as designed, Husband1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1.
Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.
Whatever you do, DO NOTunder any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources)
In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program.These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance.
We recommend Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.
Good Luck!

Time Flies
I really don't know what I want to say today, but I figured I'll try to post something each day. So we'll see where this goes.
Can you belive its nearly the end of November? This year went by so quickly. I remeber last Christmas as if it was last week, and it seems like the rest of the year was simply a flash of images and memories. So much has hapened over the year though. My little girl learned to crawl and to walk and to talk and climb, lol, and everything else. I finalized my bankruptcy. We moved from Colorado to West Virginia, my husband got a new job, my grandmother has been in the hospital 4 or 5 times, I lost touch and stayed in touch with various friends. I started going back to college, and am nearly finished with my first new, or third otherwise, semester (doing well by the way) I started listening to a radio show (now called Stand Up with Pete Dominick on Sirius/XM channel POTUS), and joined a club/volunteer organization (CEOS). I voted for and saw the election of a new president. I traveled all over the country for a couple months with my husband on the road from Oregon to Texas, to Virginia, to many other states. I laughed and cried, and sat bored a lot too.
Its so wierd, I can't believe I'm 22. Its odd that high school seems so short a tme ago, but also ages away. Time passes so quickly. I wonder where I'll be at this time next year.
The other day I was going through movies of my little girl when she was younger, as she was just starting to lift her little head up, and her first learning to crawl, and learning to feed herself, and the many other small events that have joined to make my life so wonderful with her in it. I'm such a big baby now at times. I was sorting through pictures and couldn't help the droplets of tears that formed as a result of the memories.
well, anyway, i'll quit ramblin on. I don't know if anyone will read this, and if you don't I'm not offended...lol, if i weren't the one writing it, I wouldn't, but here it is.
