Unemployed but not dead

Being a direct victim of the economy crash, you would expect one to be pretty down having been unemployed three times in the Past year. It's getting really old, but I am trying to be optimistic about the whole situation. I am so tired of working third shift and I feel like each time I take a job working that dreadful shift, It takes another year or two off of my life. When I am on that shift, I try so hard to workout and eat as well as I could so as not to upset my body's biorhythms anymore than they already are from being up all night. Of course if I have to work another job on that shift, I will do it for now because I have to work.

I am trying not to let it get to me but going on like normal with my life and my travelling obsession. I am planning a trip to new Zealand for next year, which is definitely doable!

Blinded

I went to the doctor today for stomach pains. When I got home, I had briefly talked to my father before going to bed and what I expected to hear was what I almost heard. I was told that I am probably missing "important vitamins and minerals" from not eating meat. Of course, I got a little miffed because I had to remind him that this has been going on LONG before I became a vegan so that has NOTHING to do with it. Why are so many people blinded by what they are told?? The funny thing is..the doctor never mentioned ANYTHING about what I was or wasn't eating.

Oh, and if milk really "does a body good", then why does it have to be pasteurized to be safe to drink?? ..just a little something to think about...

Unemployed...again

Today I was told that my job will be ending this week. This was only a four-month assignment that was supposed to end at the end of April so it's not a shock or anything but I am getting tired of doing temp stuff. I just need a full-time job that is not third shift.

To be quite honest, even though I will be unemployed right now, I am sooo relieved. After five years of working third shift on and off (mostly on), I feel like it has taken a few years off of my life. You can't fully understand how rough it is on your body unless you have done it for at least a few months. I vow to never do it again after this week. Period.

...But he sucks!

I don't get Jason Castro. Last year, he came in fourth place on American Idol and I, as many others that I know, wondered how he even got into the top 12...and if that wasn't bad enough, now he just signed a record deal. Well, as anyone who knows me knows, I am a big sucker for ex-american idol contestants and always give their original music a chance. I have actually grown to like some of the contestants that I didn't care for on the show, like Constantine and Ace Young, as some of their original stuff has been pretty good..but this time it is different. I flat-out refuse to even listen to this no-talent's music. Who even voted for him???

No-talent Jason Castro signs record deal

Obama, I am disappointed

So, after all of the talk for months about the Obamas getting a "rescue" dog, they finally have taken a dog...and to a lot of our dismays, it is NOT a rescue. While there are a lot of people that don't think this is a big deal (a lot of them being the same speciests who are saying "it's only a dog"), the bottom line is that it IS a big deal. First of all, it's one less dog of the millions that are euthanised everyday that could have had a chance at life. Second of all, it's going to promote puppy mills mass reproducing these dogs for the people that want to be like the Obamas. Thirdly, the Obamas are role models and are not setting a good example. In November, we all voted for change and believed that Obama was different than the other lying politicians. I personally still think that he is doing a great job so far, but I am not going to lie...I am disappointed in him for going back on his word. We are at a point in our history when we all need to seriously consider the life around us and the effects that our actions have in this world and also take responsibility for own actions. So, in conclusion, I have to say that I don't see any "change" yet...

Seriously???

A small businessman in my neighborhood who sells windows always has these ridiculous signs hanging in his store window. He was a huge McCain/palin supporter and believes that people like George bush actually care for him. God bless America! (oh, and look how he spells liberals...)
