Sarah Palin

If this video doesn't clear up Sarah Palin's foreign policy experience than I don't know what world you're living in.

Dawn and Q

I don't know if anybody else watches "Making of The Band," but Dawn and Q make me sick! ...lol. They are just too cute and they genuinely seem like they are in love with one another. Whats' even more interesting is that Q seems to have been the one to fall harder. Its' that kind of, make you want to puke if you were around them love. Its' going to be interesting to see how this turns out, hopefully for the best!

People of Purpose

I'm in class today and a classmate ask if I printed out my ATI test for psychiatry. (its just a practice test to see how you're doing in class) To my dismay, I realized that I had forgotten that today was the 30th and we had to hand in our test for a percentage of our grades. I was floored, literally and figuratively because I left it on the floor in my room. So here I go looking for a place to print out my test and unfortunately no one could help me. At that precise moment, when I felt like crawling into a hole, a friend of mine ask me what was wrong and I rambled on about my forgetfulness. Long story short, he takes me to his secret place of printing out papers.(the hospital library)

At that moment, I thought about the purpose of the people in my life. It seems I have good "luck" as some may say but I say I have good "favor." Seems God always puts the right people in my life at the right time and this is just one of those minuscule moments but nonetheless just as important.

I have genuine, humorous, loving, kind people in my life. My best friend happens to be one of them. She always says the right thing at the right time and has been there for me in some of my toughest moments. I happened to meet her at my last job, which I got by luck or favor I should say. I've made wonderful new friends at my current job and I only ended up there after deciding to leave my previous job after 7 years because I felt it was time to move on. (the moving on decision and the resignation letter happened all in the same day)

Anyway, my point is this, there is a purpose for those people in your life. Whether to make you laugh, or motivate to try new things or make you realize the type of people you don't want in your life. Understand their purpose in your life and appreciate them for who they are, whether good or bad. They are there for a reason!

America As it Should Be

I don't know about you, but something is going on in our world and especially in our United States of America. Our values have changed, our economic status has changed and our standing in this world has definitely changed. Our economic crisis at this present time is daunting. Can you imagine that a country who was once among the richest is now taking loans?

I will not point blame, I will not say that the last eight years of presidency has put us in a grave that we must try hard to dig ourselves out of but I must say things must change. But most importantly we must be active participants in the solution to our problems. We can only blame ourselves when we are lackadaisical about going to a voting booth to cast a vote and I am the first to say that I am guilty of it.

Like my favorite president likes to say, "We are at a defining moment in history and we are the change we have been waiting for." Think about the world as it should be. Think about the world you want for your children and grandchildren. Our education system is lacking, our health care is sub par and our financial crisis is going to affect every single household, whether you believe or not. Its' time for a change people. Make your voice heard and go out and vote. Envision the world as it should be.

Lil Wayne...the new Sex Symbol?

Lil Wayne, my topic of discussion for today. I was listening to the radio this morning on my drive to my clinicals and I hear Mr. Wayne on the radio. "we oo we oo wee", yes I believe that was the chorus.

The first thought that popped into my head and I hope most of you agree, is when did Little Wayne become a sex symbol. This man is far from the idea that most women have in their heads as the ideal man. Maybe as far as his checkbook is concerned but look at him?!?. He has permanent acne marks on his face (otherwise called tattoos).

I remember one of my high school friends telling me its' his "swagger". The way he talks and his confidence make him attractive. I say give me a break, what lies beneath those gold or platinum teeth! I guess to each his own but if my niece ever brought home a guy who looked like Lil Wayne, I would slap her, several times.

I think whats' happened is women have lowered their standards when it comes to men with money. I think that some are actually blinded or convince themselves that he is attractive because of the monetary gain. Personally, my money makes the world go round, not anyone else's so Little Wayne could keep his money and his probably not so perfect teeth.

Confusion

So question is...what do you do when you feel you met your other half but you can't be together? It seems women search their whole lives for someone who completes them...wrong move! I've learned to look for someone who supplements you. Makes you want to be better than you are, try harder than you've tried and love harder than you've loved.
This person motivates you. What's most important is that he is your friend. Oh my god you wouldn't believe how important that is. When someone is your friend before your lover he respects your friendship before all else and guess what ladies? He talks to you...about everything, his dreams and aspirations, his likes and dislikes and everything in between. He becomes an open book that you've felt you've read a thousand times before but is as exciting as the first time you read it.
It is almost as if a piece of you leaves when you part ways. It is an intangible feeling of a bond that cannot be seen but felt in every cord of your body and its not sexual in nature. Its an emotional connection. Its feeling your stomach do flips when he walks into a room, its having everyone see what you feel and point it out to you every time you two are in the same room together. But back to the original question. You have all this but you don't have him?

An Introduction

So...here I am on a Sunday morning bored and browsing the web. A friend of mine started a blog site so I decided to follow suit. I think I have relevant things to say and to share. At least I think so... so I start with Karma.

Karma is defined as an action or deed that causes an entire cycle of cause and effect. Take note of the word cycle. Something that repeats itself in nature. What we do causes a reaction which precipitates another action which eventually comes back to us in a cyclic fashion.

Interesting...that means what I do will eventually come back to me...correct? If we all lived our lives thinking about the consequences of our actions and how eventually those same actions will come back to haunt us or pay us back (in a good way), how would we choose to live our lives.

I was in a relationship for six years, where I attempted to explain this same idea to my boyfriend/ex fiance at the time. I kept hoping that he would understand that his actions affected me and eventually would affect him as well. Needless to say the lesson wasn't grasped and now regret is a monster that he lives with until this day.

I can only say that I try to live my life in a way that rewards me when it comes full circle. It doesn't hurt to be kind nor does it kill you to help those who you can help, especially if you have been blessed with special talents.

So I leave you with this, on this cloudy Sunday morning... "What goes around, comes back around"
