Let's talk this overFriday, August 3, 20075:46PMWell Mom quit working at Fairview because the people there will not listen to both sides of the story so I only have three days off this entire month. Can any one see a problem with this? If not heres a hint. Way too many days in a row and way too many hours of over time. I am going to be so glad when I am able to find a different job and get the fuck out of there. Current mood:  aggravatedSunday, July 29, 20075:21PM - Long time againOK it has been a long time again since I have updated. Well the new thing is I am in the process of trying to get a job with the Department of Homeland Security and if I get the position I will out in Maryland for 10 weeks and if I pass all the training stuff I will be off to Alaska. It seems that I am suppose to go to Alaska because I could have had a job on a crab boat up there but after watching the Deadliest Catch I decided not to. Other than that everything has been the same and boring. Current mood:  hotSaturday, July 7, 20079:39AMWell I heard back from the test that I took in March and it was the same as everything else. Sorry but you suck and we dont have a position that can suit you try again later when you know what you are doing. It wasnt worded like that but that is the basic run down for every letter and email that I have gotten about the jobs I have applied for. Well I am going to try again with the Department of Homeland Security as an Agriculture Specialist. I have to send in information and I am going to do that today along with one of my student loans. I dont have to pay anything on it if I dont want to because I have over paid enough that there is no balance but I would like to keep it low for once. Ok back to job hunting and mailing stuff off. Current mood:  I got the day offCurrent music: Call my when you are sober Monday, June 18, 20079:24PMI am still alive sort of. I am so sick and tried of everything and certain people are starting to really piss me off. The test that to took back in March I havent heard anything for and I have be declined for many jobs since then. If any one as any jobs that are open let me know and I will apply Current mood:  pissed offWednesday, March 21, 20078:40PM - For those that careFor those of you that still care I am still alive to a point. Wednesday I am going up to Chicago to take a test for one of the many federal jobs that I applied for. I am also going to apply for an animal keeper at Lincoln park zoo tomorrow... i just have to mail that in. I am still waiting to know if I am good enough for the Brookfeild zoo keeper that I applied for. This is starting to get very annoying the sitting and waiting is starting to drive me bonkers. Well I guess that is it for now. there might be an update sometime soon again. Saturday, March 3, 20078:27AM - Interesting for meI was looking for something to watch this morning and I turned to the Travel Channel and there is a show called the Most Haunted. Well I started watching and saw that they were in a castle and the surrounding areas look familar. They finally said that they were in NewCastle and at a castle that I went to when I was in England for People to People. I though that was great and really interesting. Current mood: chipperSunday, November 26, 20064:46PMI am still alive. I know that i havent posted in a while but nothing has changed. Still working at a dead end job while looking for another and cleaning my dad's house....yay what fun. Ok off to look at the rest of the stuff that i havent looked at for a week. Sunday, November 12, 200612:45AMSo I have had to much caffinee or I finally got enough sleep because I am wide awake and it is almost midnight. Tonight was the haunted house party and it was a lot of fun...eating and just talking about random stuff. I am going to kick steve and ledford ass one of these days. I hate older brothers and their friends. They just like to tease me but it gets old very fast when they remind me of things that I didnt do in college because i was there to study and not become a party whore. Oh well one of these days they might grow up and I can always hope it will be soon. Maybe I should try to go to sleep since i have to clean tomorrow because it is my last day off for a couple of days and mom wants me to move the computer tomorrow. Ok night all and I will post more interesting stuff one of these times. Current mood:  mischievous with nothing to doCurrent music: Toxic Wednesday, October 25, 20069:35PMOK I am pissed.... A member from The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS aka Ghost Hunters on Scifi) is going to be at Monmouth tomorrow and I have no way of getting over there. I would love to see the lecture because it would be interesting and then they are going to take students around campus and investigate some of the haunted buildings. I know Austin Hall and possibly HT will be on the list because those are two of the most haunted buildings on campus but they will most likely go to some other buildings. This makes me mad because that would have been one ASAP activity I would have actually gone to instead of sitting and watching tv. GRRRRRRRr to stupid monmouth college and making stuff interesting finially. It is not one of the main people but it would still be interesting. If it was Jason or Grant I would have found a way over there to see it but it is some other guy that is not as interesting so i am not that mad but still grrrrrrrr. Ok i am done with that now.

Monday, September 4, 20069:05PM - The world has lost a great conservationistCAIRNS, Australia - Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and conservationist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray while filming off the Great Barrier Reef. He was 44. Irwin was at Batt Reef, off the remote coast of northeastern Queensland state, shooting a segment for a series called "Ocean's Deadliest" when he swam too close to one of the animals, which have a poisonous barb on their tails, his friend and colleague John Stainton said. "He came on top of the stingray and the stingray's barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart," said Stainton, who was on board Irwin's boat at the time. Crew members aboard the boat, Croc One, called emergency services in the nearest city, Cairns, and administered CPR as they rushed the boat to nearby Low Isle to meet a rescue helicopter. Medical staff pronounced Irwin dead when they arrived a short time later, Stainton said. Irwin was famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchword "Crikey!" in his television program "Crocodile Hunter." First broadcast in Australia in 1992, the program was picked up by the Discovery network, catapulting Irwin to international celebrity. He rode his image into a feature film, 2002's "The Crocodile Hunters: Collision Course" and developed the wildlife park that his parents opened, Australia Zoo, into a major tourist attraction. "The world has lost a great wildlife icon, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest dads on the planet," Stainton told reporters in Cairns. "He died doing what he loved best and left this world in a happy and peaceful state of mind. He would have said, 'Crocs Rule!'" Prime Minister John Howard, who hand-picked Irwin to attend a gala barbecue to honor when he visited in 2003, said he was "shocked and distressed at Steve Irwin's sudden, untimely and freakish death." "It's a huge loss to Australia," Howard told reporters. "He was a wonderful character. He was a passionate environmentalist. He brought joy and entertainment and excitement to millions of people." Irwin, who made a trademark of hovering dangerously close to untethered crocodiles and leaping on their backs, spoke in rapid-fire bursts with a thick Australian accent and was almost never seen without his uniform of khaki shorts and shirt and heavy boots. Wild animal expert Jack Hanna, who frequently appears on TV with his subjects, offered praise for Irwin. "Steve was one of these guys, we thought of him as invincible," Hanna, director emeritus of the Columbus (Ohio) Zoo and Aquarium, told ABC's "Good Morning America" Monday. "The guy was incredible. His knowledge was incredible," Hanna said. "Some people that are doing this stuff are actors and that type of thing, but Steve was truly a zoologist, so to speak, a person who knew what he was doing. Yes, he did things a lot of people wouldn't do. I think he knew what he was doing." Irwin's ebullience was infectious and Australian officials sought him out for photo opportunities and to promote Australia internationally. His public image was dented, however, in 2004 when he caused an uproar by holding his infant son in one arm while feeding large crocodiles inside a zoo pen. Irwin claimed at the time there was no danger to the child, and authorities declined to charge Irwin with violating safety regulations. Later that year, he was accused of getting too close to penguins, a seal and humpback whales in Antarctica while making a documentary. Irwin denied any wrongdoing, and an Australian Environment Department investigation recommended no action be taken against him. Stingrays have a serrated, toxin-loaded barb, or spine, on the top of their tail. The barb, which can be up to 10 inches long, flexes if a ray is frightened. Stings usually occur to people when they step on or swim too close to a ray and can be excruciatingly painful but are rarely fatal, said University of Queensland marine neuroscientist Shaun Collin. Collin said he suspected Irwin died because the barb pierced under his ribcage and directly into his heart. "It was extraordinarily bad luck. It's not easy to get spined by a stingray and to be killed by one is very rare," Collin said. News of Irwin's death spread quickly, and tributes flowed from all quarters of society. At Australia Zoo at Beerwah, south Queensland, floral tributes were dropped at the entrance, where a huge fake crocodile gapes. Drivers honked their horns as they passed. "Steve, from all God's creatures, thank you. Rest in peace," was written on a card with a bouquet of native flowers. "We're all very shocked. I don't know what the zoo will do without him. He's done so much for us, the environment and it's a big loss," said Paula Kelly, a local resident and volunteer at the zoo, after dropping off a wreath at the gate. Stainton said Irwin's American-born wife Terri, from Eugene, Ore., had been informed of his death, and had told their daughter Bindi Sue, 8, and son Bob, who will turn 3 in December. The couple met when she went on vacation in Australia in 1991 and visited Irwin's Australia Zoo; they were married six months later. Sometimes referred to as the "Crocodile Huntress," she costarred on her husband's television show and in his 2002 movie. Thursday, August 31, 20068:35PMI GOT THE FIRST COMPLETE SEASON OF FRAGGLE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Current mood:  busyCurrent music: Watching Fraggle Rock Sunday, August 27, 20067:37PM - When can I get out of here or find a guy that likes me for who I am?My dad, the great asshole he is, yelled at me this morning for getting at tattoo. It seems as though I can never get his approval on anything because i am not one of his boys or the children of the whore. I am just dumb founded. I am the first one to get a college education in this family besides mom who is working on hers. He didnt even want to come to my graduation because "it was to far to drive." He didnt even drive my mom did. I was the only child to finish high school in 4 years because i actually did everything i was suppose to. I guess if i would have come home from college pregnant then i would have gotten some sort of approval because that is what I think he wanted. I dont think that he understands that i am not the obedient child anymore. I am getting sick of it. For once the boys could do what he wants and he can grow the fuck up. I think that he thinks i cant make it the world because I know what i want to do with my life and just because i dotn have an actuall job right now i am going to stay here. He doesnt understand that once i am out of this house and out of Fairbury he is no longer going to be a part of my life. I have come to the conclusion that he is not worth trying to make me love him. He has fucked up and now it is time for him to see how it is goign to hurt him. Being second to someone elses childern that he didnt even father. That is enough. I am his biological child and i demand he pay attention to me. That might sound pitiful but since the divorce i have been treated like i am not even here. I dont know what it is but if he bouts he is my dad all he has to do is look at his sister then at me and see the family resemblance and also look at my feet and compare them with everyone else. I have the odd longer toe that most everyone else in his family has. I guess that i am just going to have to put up with the double standard that exist in the world here at home until i move out. I figure dad would see that and look past it but i was giving him too much credit.
