Oh.. Yeah.

Oh yeah, Blogger!

I also almost have my 21ish page application for the TSA / Homeland Security Clearance (or something like that? Not 100% sure of it's purpose...) completed. I only need to get the information together for three non-related people who know me well, with at least 7 years of "knowing me" spread between the three people.

This makes me happy that I actually took time to complete this application so quickly! I need to finish it today!!!

What's Happening?

Hey Hey Hey Blogger,
It looks to be a beautiful day outside today! WOOT! I'm just sitting here listening to overly loud music that most of you would not approve of... (boo hoo). I'm getting ready for this day! It should be a great day. I'm starting out with a positive attitude. I am looking forward to helping the neighbor with her laptop in just a little while (as soon as I type this random blog), and then I will walk my wonderful doggy, and then I will come in and do my exercise... which I do not dread today because it is only an hour long, and then I will go up Wilson's Creek and scout out a place to go fishing Saturday for opening day!!!!! WAHOO! After that, supper at Maw & Paw's! Yumm, steak :-D :-D My Maw knows how to make me happy lol. Anywho, I better get this stuff done so I can go eat steak! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D ... does this defeat the purpose to an exercise program?? MUAHAHAHA My eating habits suck, oh well... It's tasty at least. :-D

- Okay... this was random....

Another Week Gone

Hello Blogger,

Another week is gone. How amazing to look back at this past week. It is kind-of a blur to me. I do not recall what I done on certain days. I do know that I managed to work a couple of days, go to a friends house a couple of times (I think that was this past week?), go to Hickory to the mall with a friend, randomly ride around, go to my brothers and spend a little time, and go camping. I kind of skipped church Wednesday so that messed my internal calender up a little I think.

Well, I have successfully completed 5 weeks of my exercise program! Only 8 weeks of the program left to go. I am actually amazed that I have stuck to it. It hasn't really been easy to keep myself motivated to do it, but knowing that a friend of mine is doing it too helps me to keep on, keeping on.

My friends and myself are now officially leasing a campsite on the side of John's River. We camped there for the first time this past Friday night. It was extremely relaxing to be out by the river with no one around, with no phone service.

So, I heard back from the TSA. I passed the credit check, YAY! So, the next step in the process is to fill out a 21 page application required for Homeland Security jobs. After that comes the actual interview, the drug and medical tests, and the rest of the long process. I hope I can land a job with them. I would commute from home to Charlotte daily to work for awhile. It is about a 1 hour and 15 minute ride with little to no traffic (yeah right...). If I got the job, I may eventually move to the other side of Hickory or maybe even Statesville (I really like Statesville). But let's not get ahead of myself. And besides that, I think the job would only be part-time for now. I would try to work my way up in the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) to have a more career type job position.

My little cousin's birthday is coming up this week. I got her a gift card for her birthday because what she wanted was more than I was going to pay. She's a good kid. Before I came into having "little cousins" I really, really did not like kids. They annoyed me. Now, I want to have kids one day. I enjoy being silly and entertaining them. Kids really are our future... we should invest in them. Of course, the way my life is going... I'll never have any dang kids. But that is another story.

Well, I guess I will stop typing now... I could type a novel full of random and useless things if I had nothing else to do. But, I should sleep sometime or another I suppose. That is my biggest problem I think (well, not really)... I stay up way too late and then don't want to get up. But, as of the present time I have no job, so I have no real reason to wake up in the mornings. I just live day to day hoping something will change for the better.

Until Next Time,

haha... yeah.

Dear Blogger,

“Doomed to being single”… that would be me.

To Travel, to Explore, my Desire...

To Travel, to Explore, my Desire...

My desire is to explore the world. I want to travel everywhere that my feet can carry me. I want to see everything that my eyes can take it. I want to venture to new and foreign places. I want to feel out of place. I want to stand out, to be someone new. I want to feel the air of a fresh new place, and take in everything that I can. I want to leave my footprint in the soil of a place far, far away.

This, is my desire, to simply travel and explore the world. I have no other life long ambition other than to have a family... I simply want to travel and experience all that I can.

---
I also would LOVE to go back to Mexico. There is just something about the peacefulness there that occupies my mind much of the time.
---

I'm kind of thinking of planning a random, and I mean RANDOM trip to somewhere like the UK. Any suggestions of where to go or what to do?

What is wrong with this world?

I like to follow news and crime stories. In the past couple of years I have seen countless senseless crimes where people killed children. I have no sympathy to anyone who hurts a child on purpose or due to his/her neglect. I believe these people should endure a painful and slow death as their justice on earth.

Thinking back I can remember stories of fathers and mothers who killed their entire families and then themselves for reason's that are never going to be explained. I have seen cases where children were abused and killed, and the killers have not been caught. It disgusts me to imagine that anyone could hurt a child, no matter how rude the child may be, or what the persons personal problems may be. There is NO excuse for taking an innocent life or causing pain to the undeserving.


Basically, people p- me off by doing stupid stuff for no reason. What prompted this post you ask? Well, this story linked from CNN did.

Psalm 127:3-5 (King James Version)

³Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

⁴As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

⁵Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Dear Blogger

Dear Blogger,
I need to find my motivation to get the day going. I have gathered the trash and set it outside. However, now I need to motivate myself to do my exercises. I know once I start the exercise it will go by quickly and I will more than likely enjoy it. However, getting to the point of actually starting is is difficult!

I need to get on this because I have a few things that are time sensitive to get done today! Yikes. Let's get this party started!

Oh yes, I did just write a note for no reason really. Does anyone know of a career type job in the areas of Boone, Blowing Rock, Lenoir, Hudson, Granite Falls, Hickory or Charlotte? If so, please let me know.

Another Day.

Another Sunday….

Well, today was yet another Sunday; A rainy Sunday with nothing much to do. Blah. Times are a’changin’. I still have not heard back about the TSA job, or any other job for that matter. I have to start paying my student loan back in a couple months, oh freaking joy. I need a job. I need a career. I need some positive darn change.

Exercise....

Okay, so I have mentioned my exercise program here before. Well, I am officially in week 4 of the 13 week program. I do the exercises Monday through Saturday with a day of rest on Sunday. Well, it is a pretty awesome exercise program that I am doing. It uses a mixture of workout's that is designed to target your entire body. I would really recommend P90X to anyone who wants to exercise and see real results. However, you must have daily motivation to push your limits.

Yeah, so this was a random blog for my blogger readers... who idk if exist or not. haha. :-D

Update -Job Hunt

Hello Blogger.....
I recently applied for a job with a government organization at an airport not far from home. I passed the initial requirements for the job, and today I took and successfully passed the test which was the next step in the process. Now, I have a contingent offer for the job, and hope that I can get it! Who knows how this one will end, but so far, so good!

Confessions of an Internet Addict

Confessions of an Internet Addict

Okay, well, I may not really be an "Internet Addict", but I do enjoy spending time on the Internet. "Why?" You ask. Well it is simple really. I love the social aspect of it. I love how I can send emails to family and friends, how I can log onto facebook or myspace and have conversations, share random bits of life with my friends that I would not normally just blurt out to them when I see them in person. I love that I can email my aunt in China and still have her as a part of my life from abroad. I love how I can be friends with people in Mexico and still talk to them weekly, if not daily. I enjoy the fact that I can listen to basically any song that I want on demand by simply searching for it. I love how I can research topics that spark my interest, and get honest information from other people who desired to share their knowledge.

But, do you know what I do not love about the social aspect of the Internet? Do you want to know what drives me absolutely crazy? What makes me want to just say "screw the Internet"? I absolutely hate when I email, send a chat to, or send any other form of message over the web (or cell phone) and do not receive a response when I know good and well that the recipient got the message. Even if my message is simple and random, would it honestly kill someone to send a reply that says "I got your message" or even maybe exert enough effort to send a brief message back? On second hand, perhaps that is a bad idea. I mean, honestly, I would HATE to take 10 to 60 seconds of life away from someone. How vain of me. That would be awful.

But seriously, this little rant was just a way to express my discontent with people in general and their lack of netiquette (otherwise known etiquette in interpersonal settings away from a network, or Internet).

Am I the only person that this annoys?

Think of it this way... when you speak to someones face, no matter how stupid what you said may or may not be, do you not expect a response to what you said? Would it not be totally rude to just kinda ignore someone who was speaking directly to you? Yes, yes it would. So, I ask you, why does this not also apply to communication on the Internet?

Another Sunday Blog

Hello Blogger,
I have only wrote here once since last Sunday. It is amazing how quickly the time has flown by since then.

Over this past week I emailed my resume to several employers, applied for a Job that I would LOVE to have which is only about 1 hour and 15 minutes from my house (which would mean I could commute daily, and still have a great job). I have to go on Tuesday the 16th, which is this coming Tuesday, to take a test to see if I can go further into the hiring process to attempt to get the job. The job is a TSO (Transportation Security Officer) with the TSA (Transportation Security Administration). The starting may is decent... $29,131 a year, and goes to around $43,000 a year for the same position. I would LOVE to do this job because I would LOVE to be around an airport and Aviation daily, while at the same time putting my people skills into play with 'customer' service, which providing a service to protect the airways.

So, what else have I done this week? A whole lot... however, I won't go into it all on here. But, I will say this... I went Friday night and watched Alice in 3D and it was wonderful! I think that is one I will buy when it is released to DVD or BluRay.

In other news, today is Sunday. As I posted in an earlier blog, Sunday is typically my favorite day of the week. Today was a good Sunday. No games or anything, but I was able to spend a little time with the step family.

Oh!!! I successfully competed the first 3 weeks of P90X as of Saturday. Only around 10 weeks left! Wahoo!

For The Tech Buff's...

I have discovered a new web-site that seems to have many great free fonts. I've not explored the web-site fully, but I did use one of the free fonts for the header on this blog (for Buzz readers, the link with the header is http://aberryblog.blogspot.com). This could be useful to those of you who do graphic designs or build web-sites. The URL is.... http://www.cooltext.com Also, I know www.bravenet.com use to have some free fonts under the members area.

Enjoy.

Big Kid

I am, a big kid. Or at least I like to act that way at times. Today was a Sunday, and I must admit that Sundays are my favorite days of the weeks. Why, you ask? Well, honestly I enjoy the day when I have nothing to worry about having to do. I like the day when I know that I will be able to sit around with family and joke and play. I enjoy having lunch with my step-family and I enjoy playing with my little cousins, or playing games such as Scrabble with my cousin and grandmother, and often others.

Today, I was blessed with a beautiful sunny day where I was able to go outside after lunch and go on an extremely brief golf-cart ride (the battery ran low) that my cousins wanted me to take them on. After this, my cousins, whom I was riding on the golf-cart became disgruntled saying things such as "I'm bored". Oh boy, I thought. *Shrugs*

After this, I ate a wonderful lunch! And then after lunch, I went back outside to accompany the still bored almost sad appearing little girls (haha). So, in an effort to help them become un-bored, I sit on the ground and played in the dirt/sand. Yes, a 21 year old was making sand castles and playing tic-tac-toe in the sand! I enjoyed it! :). After that, I played yet another creative game with them. It was simple. We took turns hiding a very colorful paper chain that one of the girls made around the house, in the woods, and even under a car.

After all of this was done, and they were less bored I played the Wii with one (maybe this was prior to outside?) . Wee, I'm playing the Wii.... yeah.

And finially, we played a game of Scrabble with our grandmother and one of the cousins.

This, was my Sunday afternoon in a nutshell.

Then, I came home, ate walked my dog, ate supper, and now am about to watch District 9 with my mom and step-pop.

Overall, today has been a great day full of funness with family! :)

Until Next Sunday, the best day of the week is over.

This Past Week

This past week, I feel that I have been more productive than the past few weeks. I actually accomplished a few things that I've been pushing down on my 'to-do-list'. I went and updated my resume at the Temporary Office, I went and applied for a Census Job and passed the test(haha!), I done a couple odd jobs, and I managed to hang out with friends almost every single day of the week. On top of that, I woke up in the mornings earlier than I have been getting up and completed my P90X daily. WOW!

So, basically, this is good. I am finding a little more motivation to keep on keeping on daily.

In other news, today was great! I went and simply rode around with two of my friends all over the mountains, got pizza, a movie, and came and chilled at my house. What a nice day it was today! The weather was wonderful and the night skies were clear. What else can you ask for? Friends and good weather, now that is a good day.

Monday, I shall say BRING ON THE X!

Life

Life

At some point in life, everyone has to decide who they want to be. I am currently at that crossroads in life. I stand here, holding my A.A.S in Aviation Management, with a love and passion for Aviation and the desire to work in that area. I know, however, that in my area there simply are not jobs that I am qualified for that are hiring for that field of expertise. So, I am considering moving on to another passion. However, I must first find this. I have a few ideas that I’m playing around with in my head. I have considered going to get my bachelor’s degree in Education to become a Elementary or Middle school teacher, I’ve considered going for Criminal Justice to become something like an Air Marshal, and I’ve considered going and trying to find a job that can become a career in something that I need either no education for, or something that will possibly use my currently accomplishments.

So yes, this blog was to basically make myself think about my options. I really, really, really hope I can figure something out soon. Perhaps I can just go back to Mexico and stay there and be happy. Haha. Naw, that won’t work.

Xtream -My New Journey into Fitness

Xtream -My New Journey into Fitness

So, not many people know this, but on February 22, 2010 I started a new exercise program. The program is p90x. I was worried about how it would go at first, but I am actually kind of enjoying it. I am not doing the nutrition part; however, I do believe that I will see some benefits of the program simply because I am adding exercise into my regular routine which isn’t very unhealthy anyway. Also, my goal isn’t to build a lot of muscle, yet, I simply want to tone and strengthen my body.

I have found that I actually enjoy Yoga. WHAT!? Some people would ask… Yoga. You mean that crazy hippie ‘ritual’ where you flex around and make funny sounds? Well, that’s not really what Yoga is, but yes. I enjoy the flexibility of it; I also enjoy the calmness of it. It is not anywhere close to being as easy as I expected it to be. This Yoga is hard core crap. I am impressed. Also, it makes you feel wonderful when you are finished. Last week, after I finished my first hour and a half Yoga session, I felt renewed! I just could not stay at home. I went out and about and enjoyed my well-being and energy!
So, yes, Exercise is surprisingly enjoyable. It gives me something to wake up for in the mornings. But, do not get me wrong, it is not easy. I like the challenge also! Wish me luck. 11 weeks to go!

Hello World.

My First Blogger.com Blog

This is my first blog on this web-site. I hope to use it regularly, as I enjoy writing and sharing randomness with the world who will more than likely never read this. So, more or less, I want to blog for the benefit of myself. If anyone else enjoys reading my blogs, then that is an added bonus, but, I will not be saddened if no one reads them. This will be a new adventure as I explore a new web-site and more than likely abandon my old blog on another web-site.

Who am I?

I am a 21 year old Aviation Management Major. I have my A.A.S in Aviation Management; I obtained it in December of 2009. I am currently seeking employment and am considering going back to school for a Bachelor’s degree in something. I am interested in everything from computers, to music, to simple and complex circuits, to festivals, to photography, to religions, and Aviation. I also enjoy Psychology and the surely impossible feat of truly understanding what goes on inside of people’s minds.

So, anyway, without further delay, I will say, thank you for reading my first blog post. I hope to post about a wide variety of topics. Please stay tuned, and comment (if this site allows that?).
