Ok so now I have a new journal. (Cat! I'm a kitty Cat. And a dance dance, & a dance dance. Cat! I'm a kitty cat!)
Hey you guys, (5dances | Cat! I'm a kitty Cat. And a dance dance, & a dance dance. Cat! I'm a kitty cat!)
So i decided to update, let u know how i'm doing, not that it's been so long on anything... (1dance | Cat! I'm a kitty Cat. And a dance dance, & a dance dance. Cat! I'm a kitty cat!)
Ernie's making me some homemade chilli cheese fries!:-D (1dance | Cat! I'm a kitty Cat. And a dance dance, & a dance dance. Cat! I'm a kitty cat!)
So my birthday proved to be pretty neat, i didn't do anything majorly out of the ordinary, but nonetheless it was fun. Woke up to mom's fav. memory of me. :-D Hung out at the house for a bit playing the playstation. Onimusha 3! My little brother totally read my mind, i've been waiting forever for that game to come out. So naturally i've been doing some serious playing of the playstation. I was home along till the afternoon, mom and brothers were at school or work. It was really nice being in the house by myself, down time is always enjoyable and freeing I think... u think after all that solitary time i had at school with my own room and all, i'd be sick of the alone time and be lonely.... but I don't know i've always kinda been like this... having mental space, and quiet reflection time has always been important to me... but anyway going off on a tangent... what was i talking about? Ah...yes... the birthday. So yeah, got the birthday calls, from the friends.... the well wishes, and the "happy birthdays" and such... CoughcashsaysIcarecough :-D... anyways I spent the rest of my day with ernie. He brought me a portable cd player, a braclet (oddness, but lovely), and he brough me lunch at the sonic... which i must say was THE HIGHLIGHT of my day, after the seemlingly tortuous months of a diet that consisted mainly of ramen noodles at school. I had the fattiest meal ever! Chilli-cheese fries, cheeseburger, cherry coke, and a strawberry cream pie milkshake ( oooh it had whip cream in it...*drool*) Man I was in delicious fat greasy heaven! That was awesome! I'm still thinking about that meal... i dreammmmmed about it! lol:-D (Cat! I'm a kitty Cat. And a dance dance, & a dance dance. Cat! I'm a kitty cat!)
So been home since Thursday night, and I feel awesome! (6dances | Cat! I'm a kitty Cat. And a dance dance, & a dance dance. Cat! I'm a kitty cat!)
So i was a good girl today. Most productive. Finished my service learning journal, and my Psych 228 Lab report, turned both those in. So as far as papers and projects I'm done. Now it's time to get on with the major studying! What fun right? YOu guys my birthday is in 10 days!! May 11th. I don't know why I'm so excited, I really don't do the birthday thing to a large extent. no birthday cake, no presents...and i'm just getting older. 22 is not a milestone or anything like that.... I don't know, I think the only thing that's really special about my birthday is that my mom has a favorite memory of me that she tells me when i wake up on my birthday. Makes me feel right special it does... I love her. ![]() I guess seriously birthdays are more special for the parents then u, u know. anyway time for my nap. talk at ya later. (2dances | Cat! I'm a kitty Cat. And a dance dance, & a dance dance. Cat! I'm a kitty cat!)
Ok, lately, kinda in general I just think that people suck! I don't know why this mood came over me... but just dealing with different inconsiderate, overdependent, or idiotic people each day tends to skew your perspective a bit. I mean i guess it isn't one thing, or not really one person, just a combination of a whole lot of random offenses.... So i was just thinking to myself, what makes people suck? yeah makes me a little testy.... Offense #2 People who wallow in their ruts ![]() These are the people who: sit down get comfortable in their rut,get acquainted and make nice with their rut, wallow in it, lie down, and make their home there. Claiming that they hate being in x situation, but yet makes no move whatsoever to help themselves when are their are obvious opportunities to do so. I understand that certain situations are the result of forces unknown outside oneself, and a lot of times there's not a thing you can do about it. However, their are certain situation that are solvable, and its just of matter of doing something to assist yourself out of the situation. I can't stand it when people repeatedly over a long period of time come to me just to bitch! Person for the umpteenth time this month says:So-in-so is doing this to me, but woe is me b/c I'm some helpless moron who's a victim, for I can do nothing but bitch and moan, suffer and take it! I say:Ok, so this bothers you and u are going to do what about it? what? did u say nothing? and i always want to say this but never do::What the hell are u coming to me again for, certainly not to just bitch again! Either do something about it or suck that shit up!Geez! all u have to do is.... oh nevermind, suffer, whatever!:: Offense #3 Space Invaders ![]() People screwing around in my hair drives me nuts!I have at least, if not more, 3 feet of personal space.I can not stand when people touch my hair. I hate it, you're invading my space! It's like, WHO TOLD YOU TO TOUCH ME! You may only enter my personal space bubble when I have given u specific permission to do so. A just-barely-acquaintance of mine reached his hand out one day to touch my hair. He stopped mid way. I guess maybe because of the look on my face? Whatever it was, Good boy! I don't know you like that, and I'm glad you realized it before u committed the offense! I know not why it urks me so much. Just not so comfortable...I'm weird about person space. But please, just don't... Offense #4 Mind numbingly stupid people Ever met anyone that just made your brain hurt when they spoke? Not because they were saying something fascinatingly complex and the effort of trying to understand was straining your mind, but quite quite the opposite ... In fact the brain strain is a result of your mind not being able to fathom or handle the concept that anyone could be THAT stupid, could actually be dumber than your shoe. Talking to this person is a waste of time ,and you are only dumber as a result of it. It is a terrible terrible thing, when u are forced to be in the company of a stupid person. Under no circumstances should these people ever reproduce...really. (Note: for more info. on stupid people see Offense#8) safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? Offense #6 "Thugs on the street who want to get my phone numba" ![]() Granted some of them are nice, rarely cute, but still. Its the ones who you know are stopping anyone that has anything that faintly resembles breast. They're all like "give me your phone number" or "shorty come here."What do you mean come here?! Freak I don't know you! They get all up on you, breathing down your neck literally, demanding, and insisting that you give them your phone number, tell them your name, or where you're going. Yet AGAIN Invasion of my personal space! What the hell! Man I have yet discover any way to tell them no nicely, meanly,or straightforwardly that has actually worked. You tell them I have a boyfriend(rather you really do or not), They say,"I'm not even trying to talk to him, I'm trying to talk to you." Ok searching my brain...." I'm in a hurry to get to class/work/I'm meeting someone. They say you can just come and talk for a second, just come over here. Or my favorite you past a group of them on the street, you're trying so hard not to make eye contact. They call after you, "SHORTY, SHORTY." It's kinda like God please don't let them catch up with. Or the ones who need help with something, they ask you a dumb as question just to stall you so they can look down your shirt, get all up breathing in your face and slip in that,"Man you're really smart, you wanted teach me something." Teach you what?...psh...back up shady thug! Oh and if you do manage to get across a NO, they start insulting u ;at the same time trying to convince u to let them "talk" to you. Yeah ok, after the shit you just said I'm going to really give you my number...riiight. I mean I know a brother has to put himself out there if he wants someone...but Man I don't think picking up random people off the street is necessarily quality. I mean these people will not let you get away until u give them some kind of positive feedback, an exchange of numbers or somethin'! So what is currently most effective is I tell them YOU give me your phone number, and I just never call...heh ;-). Offense #7 smacking when u eat... Damn it! just don't do it! ARRRRRRRGGGGGGH I hate that crap! ![]() Offense #8 People who are Racist I'm not going into as long rant as I would want to on this, because if an intelligent person is reading this right now, you should already know the self-evident reasons why racism is based in stupidity and why its wrong. Personally I feel that racist exhibit symptoms of stupidity....I mean already stated what I thought about stupid people.... Racist are irrational, ignorant,small-minded,and hateful people. Their basis for disliking another race is not founded in reason. I mean ever met those rednecks ( i know I'm labling them heh.) That are pimping out in the baggy jeans, nice kicks, maybe a basket ball jersey, and they are listening to hip-hop,rap, r&b, but yet, They hate those niggers?.... Terrible! Or how about the ones who claim they only dislike certain types of black people, I know a black guy, or I have a black friend. ... Oh you know a black person? Would you like a cookie?! I mean really dumbass u do not have to say this for my benefit... Now you ask how do I encounter this blatantly racist people? Heh... well, true story, I have a number of white friends. Some whom, habitually have me hanging out with their other friends whom they know is racist beforehand. The person will LET you know that these people are racist, and then expect you to make nice with them! Ok, yeah so I'm in a room full of hate, would anyone like to talk? I mean if my friends are just trying to parade me around to these people to show them that, well see black people aren't all that bad... THEN JUST DON'T PEOPLE. Because really, I could care less how your friends feel, and they are not worthy of such effort, or acknowledgement... Just quit making me hang around them! ( like I mentioned in my Offense #4. " It's a terrible terrible thing when you're forced to endure stupid people.") I have zero tolerance for racist people, I kinda resent that some of my friends don't and have the inconsideration to put me in such a position. I had a black male friend back in the day, we talked for a while, found out he hated white people.(that's ignorant, that's ignorant) He was out the door QUICK! ( that and he habitually kicked cats, damn that guy!). My feelings on stupidity kinda overlaps with this one. I can not stress, or emphasize this enough! No tolerance what so ever, for stupidity, or ignoranceI have no respect obviously, for irrational people,or people who have hate in there hearts. There is just no damn excuse! Some people claimed its a learned behavior, well fine! So it is, but you're a big boy now, can you not think for yourself...oh oh I forgot that's probably beyong your mental capabilities, you being an idiot and all...heh:-D If you fit under these catergories, I suggest that you not even attempt to talk to me, I have no interest in you or what you may have to say. You're ignorant; I'm not, so what could we possibly have in common? oh, and (5dances | Cat! I'm a kitty Cat. And a dance dance, & a dance dance. Cat! I'm a kitty cat!)

Last night my body pulled rank and betrayed me! I went to scribble out my philosophy paper with the aspirations of retyping it in the morning. Descartes’ Dream Argument says that dreaming and reality is indistinguishable. There is no defining way to differentiate between existent consciousness and a state of slumber; consequently it is rationale for one to doubt the validity of their perceptions of reality external to the mind. I dreamt that I found myself in this particular place, that I was dressed and seated near the fire, whilst in reality I was lying undressed in bed. At this moment it does indeed seem to me that it is with eyes awake that I am looking at this paper … What happens in sleep does not appear so clear nor distinct as does all this. But in thinking over this I remind myself that on many occasions. I have in sleep been deceived by similar illusions…I see so manifestly that there are no certain indications by which we may clearly distinguish wakefulness from sleep… it is almost capable of persuading me that I now dream (76). Descartes’ rationale is that he currently seated near the fire in his dressing gown, but in the past he has dreamed that he was in his dressing gown by the fire. He concludes that if he has reason to believe that he may be again dreaming, then he has reason to believe that it may be that it is false that he is truly sitting in the chair. There seems to be no distinguishable indicators between dreaming and awaking. In the past he thought he was awake when he was dreaming before. Therefore, from his these meditations, Descartes ultimately concludes that there are no distinguishable marks between dreaming and awaking, he has a logical reason to believe he is dreaming, and he can not be absolutely certain that he is sitting by the fire in his dressing gown. When I am dreaming I have limited thought processes, at times it is as if I am almost lead by the dream, or my thoughts that are inducing the dream. At certain moments I reach awareness that I am amidst a dream; that I am dreaming and can only faintly and feebly control some of my actions. When I am awake however, I can analyze, hypothesis, inquiry, and deduce, and I am in full control of my actions and words and thought processes. Reality has a clarity and flexibility that dreaming does not have. I would propose that during an awakened state that our perception is derived primarily from sensory input, which enables us to ascertain information about current circumstances. While when one is asleep very little if any sensory input is available, instead our dreams are derived from the remains of our memories, thoughts, and other contextual from the contextual experience of our conscious reality.

Ok, so I wanted to turn in the service learning journal TODAY! as listed on my to do list for things... However! I did not get to type it out (which i'm going to get down and serious with and turn it in on Monday). It shouldn't take long hopefully. Some personal thoughs and a description of what happened. I'm basically just retyping! (3dances | Cat! I'm a kitty Cat. And a dance dance, & a dance dance. Cat! I'm a kitty cat!)

Here's the picture of my nephew Emmanuel. He was born March 6, so he's almost 2 months old. unfortunately he's in the hospital, and they're running test on him to see what the matter is. But i'm optimistic, i think everything will be fine... They've been running 50-11 blood test on him, IVs, and crap, but he's taking it better than I would, he's a little soldier:-D. ![]() ![]() (2dances | Cat! I'm a kitty Cat.

Ok all you girls can relate, that that one time per month is the worst, i refer to it as the "phase red ". I mean u get bloated which is the worst! You have these mad food cravings that results in an insatiable inhalation of fatty foods... like hmmm chocolate.And I'm totally convinced that my body is plotting against me trying to impregnant itself, before its tooooo late!(its definetly the wacking out hormones) Oh! Oh! but oh my God, but the nausea...And then there's the cramps! The mood swings, are absolutely maddening! One moment I'm bouncy off the walls life's great, just fine and dandy you know? And in a split second, suddendly it's like "woe is me for i am in the depths of despair!" (1dance | Cat! I'm a kitty Cat. And a dance dance, & a dance dance. Cat! I'm a kitty cat!)
I have been thinking on this for a long while now, and I realized that i've become a bit depraved, and I have delved,into things that I really shouldn't have. Its very discomforting to take an objective look at yourself and realize that you have gotten so far away, from the good person that you once were.... I mean not to say that I'm not still good in the sense, that I'm kind, compassionate, caring, empathetic, but in the sense that maybe , well not even maybe, but that I do, do things and commit sinful acts that are not in accordance with God and his way... Honestly in recent years I would say that I have really gotten off track and I feel a great need to get back on a firm good footing, with myself and God. (2dances | Cat! I'm a kitty Cat.

Lately i've been trying to get ernie, to create a website that's dedicated to his art. I think that would be most awesome! Ernie's like my freakin' hero when it comes to drawing! Guy can draw images out of his head! He's truly talented. He's done some advertising posters for local bands, their cd cover art, t-shirt ideas for these guys who call their brand name twitch, he has a graphic designer friend name ricky(who freakin' has calls him to draw up some ideas for the clientele at work!

Going home today. On the agenda for this weekend! Going to see my new nephew, Emmanuel, i bet he's cute, I wonder if he looks like us?.... I have four new puppies :-D,my dog is currently at my dads house...so unfortunately i'm making a trip over there... but I miss my maggie and her babies, so its a sacrifice i must make... As always i'm excited to see my toonk toonks (cats). Probably going to hang out w/ the Heather, I miss her, and ernie probably, or whom ever happens to wanna hang out... Plus I have a job interview for subway at 9:00am on saturday. So pray that goes well I need a summer job something fierce, and I don't want to spend my summer, bumming off others. That's not good. But it seems real positive I met the manager before, and he seems like a friendly, easy going sort of man. It's his habit to hire only girls though... to attract business, or maybe he's just sketchy... I don't know....hmmm. I am also going to apply for a job at the cookie place at the mall. I have a friend working there, and she says there should be a position opening up for the summer, and she'll put in a good word for me, which is always helpful... Going to try and hit redbone alley, its a resturant. I don't want to be a waitress per say I'd rather be a host...The person that meets and greets. I think i could handle that. Also of course work work work, and more school work... I can't wait till May... (2dances | Cat! I'm a kitty Cat. And a dance dance, & a dance dance. Cat! I'm a kitty cat!)
Yeah so how was my day, the past two days with no sleep? Well I stayed up all night typing that damned philosophy paper... I found that I am an empress of B.S... Here's an excerpt from my paper... just some food for thought i suppose ;-) The man who has no tincture of philosophy goes through life imprisoned in the prejudices derived from common sense, from the habitual beliefs of his age, or his nation and from convictions, which have grown up in his mind without the co-operation or consent of his deliberate reason. To such a man the world tends to become definite, finite, obvious; …unfamiliar possibilities are contemptuously rejected (38). __The unexamined life is something that is “ confined.”(38). The individual who lives in a world of unchallenged assumptions, biases, and lies are confined by their obscured narrow perception, and can not connect or explore the possibilities of their true self. Until the individual breaks free and challenges their fabricated reality, they will exist in a pale imitation of life. __Socrates believed that it was imperative that man gives their “first and greatest care to the improvement” of their souls to achieve a state of virtue (20). This is accomplished through inquiry and examination of the self and the world, in the course of challenging the common ways of thinking, and attaining a deep understanding of the self and its unique purpose. The examined life is characterized as a reflective, introspective existence, which is based on intensive scrutiny of the self and the world in which one lives. Socrates passionately asserted that the unexamined life was not worth living, but why? Some would assert that ignorance is bliss. What is so harmful about living a perfunctory existence that centers around the dominant ideologies of a particular society if it is comfortable and not unpleasant __When one is living an unexamined life, it is not a free life; one is a slave to their particular cultural or societal design. The individual who uncritically absorbs the beliefs of society is driven to feverishly pursue the satisfaction of subconscious urges (38). Reflexively the individual assimilates himself into the system of things, confined to the choices and beliefs presented by the system.....</font> (7dances | Cat! I'm a kitty Cat.

I've always had a suspicion that I fulfill the role of a... lets say amateur counselor in my circle of friends. My duties include(::poo::):functioning as a crutch,being empathetic and sympathetic to their current plight,doling out advice ;providing a shoulder to cry own, or just listening to various random frustrated ventings. But going back to the original thought. I have come to the conclusion that i probably only fill that role for a portion of my companions, and that's not healthy or positive for me;friendship is mutual. I mean I have random people that I would call "friends", more probably aqquaintances, that I like well enough, but the only time they and I "hang out" (<--there's that phrase again!) its because they have had some devastating happening occur to them. I listen to them for maybe a couple of days, they feel better, and then i don't seem them again. In relation to those people the relationship is very much one sided, hence I've decided that they are going to be dubbed "patients". I define patients as: those acquaintances, who desire interaction due to some upsetting,disappointing,or traumatic happening, which they want to unload on my person as result of no one else wanting to put of with their...crap. So, as for the patient population of my group, I've decided that I must do some serious exterminating of these personalities.. Yes... I think that would make me quite happy... :-) (1dance | Cat!
