What I spend money on….

So I am not sure if anyone else is in the same boat as me but I have refilled my meal plan with around $170 and am at $8 to last me till Christmas break. I began the semester with the largest plan u can get on this campus and I have still needed to refill it so much. I seem to spend most of my money on food. Along with the food I have eaten on campus I have eaten out a few times and also have a ton of snacks and meals in my room. It seems like I am always eating and always buying food. I like to snack while I am doing work at my desk and I always like to have a drink. I think I go through a 2 liter of soda in 2 days along with the water and milk I drink. For some reason once it hits about 2/3am I crave chocolate milk, so I end up drinking a quarter gallon of chocolate milk or skim milk depending what I have in my fridge. I know, it is kind of a weird thing or habit, but I do. And I am usually up till 2/3 anyway, so it happens a lot. I have gone through so much milk it is ridiculous. I have even tried drinking choc milk at dinner to maybe not need it later at night, but I still drink it later too. I get choc milk every time I go to D2 now. I also am addicted to corn dogs, granola bars, and poptarts. I have some soup in my room. I have cereal. I have candy. I have bread, jelly, peanut butter, and even fluff. Ok, so random but who loves fluff?! My aunt one time made me a peanut butter and fluff sandwich and it was amazing! So I decided when I am here at school I would make myself them sometimes. Oh, and I have those ice pops that are like juice in a plastic tube that u freeze. Those are really good too. Here is another fun fact: I like to cook. When I was at home I used to cook all the time. Make random things to just have in the house to snack on. I used to like to make a lot of desserts and even some dinners. My favorite desserts to make were always pies. And my favorite desserts to eat were key lime pies. Best ever! This is all kind of rambling now, because I am making myself hungry by talking about all this food. I might even go get a snack now. :p I mean I already have a diet coke here from west end. Went there for breakfast with a group of friends and decided to do this afterwards.

Funny Quotes

Haha! I have to say I just wanted to blog about something random and I found some funny quotes, I think.
The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on. - Robert Bloch
-this quote I think is funny because its kind or true! People do stress less when they have a way out of something.
Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
-I like this quote because all though it may be slightly disturbing to some, it take some life situation and makes it make sense compared to something we all want and have with out friends.
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
-I live my life like this. I live it how I want to because u only live once. You only have so many years to do some things, so do them!
The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
-this is somewhat true. I like a girl who is intelligent but also looks good. the first thing that will catch my eye will be her looks, but both her looks and brains will get my heart.
What are the three words guaranteed to humiliate men everywhere?
'Hold my purse.'
-I hate this. I hate holding purses. It makes us men feel uncomfortable. I mean sometimes ill turn it into a joke and I won’t mind, but when she asks u to hold it and also walk around at the same time. Like through the mall if they have to talk on the phone and hold something and they ask u to grab their purse for them and hold it for a min. you don’t actually mean a minute, u mean as we walk by all these people who don’t know me and think I have a purse. There wont be anyone in the mall, but as soon as u pick up that purse, the mall is packed with people u know and don’t know. I don’t know why I just ranted about that, holding a purse is no big deal, just don’t like to sometimes.
Energizer Bunny arrested, charged with battery.
-just a funny quote with a play on words.
If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
-again another quote that is a play on words. This is also something I never thought about until I read it online.
Everybody wants to go to heaven; but nobody wants to die.
-this one actually made me think a little because this is true for me too. I don’t want to die, but when I do I want to go to heaven. I guess this just makes u realize how people want good things in life, but they don’t want to suffer to get them.
I like to read quotes that people put on the internet. I really like to see what people say because sometimes they find a way to say it so it makes sense, when I struggle to find a way to say it on my own.

Almost 3 deaths and some turkey :-)

So finally on Friday when classes ended I got to go home. I don’t know why but I wanted to go home so badly. I had had enough of my classes and just wanted to relax and see my family. I had been counting down the days till I got to go home for almost 3 weeks before I actually got to go home. I got home and was able to see my family and friends, got to cut my hair, and got to sleep in my own bed. I spent the three days I had before I went to West Virginia seeing friends and catching up with everyone. On Tuesday afternoon we loaded up the two cars and headed up to WV. Took us a little over seven hours to get to my grandpa’s farm but we made it. Our cousins who live near us in Virginia were also on their way to the farm and arrived about thirty minutes we did. My uncle is a huge fan of ATVs and so he brought 4 of his 5 ATVs with him here so we could go riding. Because he brought his four ATVs and my grandpa has one himself, we had five for the 11 of us. Within ab hour of my uncle getting here, we were out riding. Jason, Jordan, my little brother, and I all jumped on 3 of the ATVs and rode off to the top of the mountain. We were flying all over the farm. We all haven’t been here in a few years and were so excited to get to go riding on the trails and everything. We flew up the mountain, found all the old trails, and were having a blast. I don’t know why, but I love riding and flying on and jumping the ATVs every chance I can. We made it through the first day with no injuries and decided we would build a fire up on the top of the mountain and all sit around it and talk. We started the fire around 6pm, once it was dark, and kept the fire going until my uncle and I returned to the houses around 4am. People slowly returned to the house and went to bed and by about 12am it was just my uncle, my cousin Jason, and I sitting around the fire. Jason went to sleep around 2am and like I said before my uncle and I talked for about another 2 hours just admiring the fire. The reason I stayed with my uncle was because he had had a few beers and recently he has purchased a 9mm handgun which he had on his side. Therefore I figured alcohol and a new gun were 2 things that did not mix. So I decided I would stay with him until I know he was in bed asleep and the gun was in his car. So anyways, we finally decided to head back to the farm and since he had been drinking I had suggested he just ride with me, but ofcourse he wanted to drive his own. So he did and I decided I would ride close behind to keep my eye on him. he ended up missing one of the trails we needed to take by like 5 ft because he turned late and ran straight into a stump. He immediately flipped over the handle bars and from behind all I could see where his feet in the air. I was worried he had slammed his face into the front of his ATV on the metal bars but luckily he stopped before hitting them. I think he hit it because he was going too fast for him to be able to react to the situations thrown at him. I decided I would take the lead and go slow and force him to go slow as well. We finally got back to the house in one piece and went to bed. At this point it was a little after 4 and I ended up being woken up for breakfast around 10am. I went over the other house and had breakfast with everyone. Immediately after my cousins and I were finished eating we jumped on the ATVs again and were off. We rode around all day until about lunch time when we came back to eat and then we were off again. All we basically did was ride all day. the next issue that was close to a disaster occurred after lunch when we went back to the top of the mountain. My little brother has been riding and driving ATVs every year we come up here and so when we were on the top he asked to ride our grandpa’s ATV. This is the one he always rides, so I had no problem with it. he was riding around and was being careful and so I decided I could ride around as well. I ended up taking my eyes off him for a few minutes and next time I look, he is rolling down the side of a valley and the ATV he was on is speeding down the hill by itself. I took off and went to him first and saw if he was ok. He said he was fine, so I sped down the valley to try to catch the other ATV, but by the time I could catch it it had hit a tree and had stopped by hitting a barb-wire fence. It was messed up. The tie-rod on the left front wheel was bent, the front was all scratched up, the boots on the front suspension were torn, and the rim of the left tire which ht the tree was all bent up. My brother said his arm hurt and said he was in a lot of pain, but he is always a baby when it comes to pain so I told him to suck it up and that he was fine. He rode with my back to the house and immediately we told my mom about the accident. A few minutes later my grandpa, uncle, and dad got home from their off-roading adventure and we told them. Everyone was first worried about my little brother and his arm and how it was swollen and bruised. My mom got all worried so she took him to the nearest hospital which was like an hour away where they x-rayed it and found that he had actually broken his arm in 3 places. He broke the larger bone in his forearm clean through and also snapped the smaller bone in the same forearm twice, once near his wrist and the other further down his arm. This was the second death frightening accident/incident. So after my brother accident and my uncle hitting a stump, we were down 2 ATVs. My dad ended up burning up the belt on one of the other ATVs because he was climbing hills with it in the high gear and so now we had to stop using that one too. Great, so now we were down 3 ATVs, and only had 2 left. This is where the final accident occurred leaving us with only on working ATV by the end of this trip. The final issue was on the last day my cousins were here, Friday. We had brought a cooler up to the top of the mountain and it was my uncle’s cooler. He was leaving soon, so around 3 he began to pack up his and asked my cousin Jason and I to run take the 2 working ATVs and go up to retrieve the cooler. The ATV my cousin was on was an 800 twin turbo and the ATV I was on was only a 350. So his flew down the trail and went way ahead of where I could see him. Finally I got to a point in which I should have been able to see him on the trail and didn’t. I stopped for a second to look around and I looked up a steep hill to the right a little. He had managed to ride up it, turn sideways, and roll the ATV over onto himself against a tree. I put mine in park and could hear him yelling for me. I ran up the hill best I could and rolled the ATV back up the hill to get it off of him. He got out and was ok. No blood, but he was a little banged up. He was so shaken up, he had me ride it back down the hill onto the trail. There we discovered that the side panels had fallen off, the rear seat was bent in half backwards, the throttle had snapped off, the seats were ripped open, the body was scratched, there was a deep scratch in the gas tank, the handle bars were bent and twisted, and the winch control had been bent down and sideways off the handlebars. This was a brand new ATV before this trip. My uncle had bought it only about a month before coming to WV. Because it was obvious that things were broken off it, I rode back and got his dad and told him how we wrecked and so he took the ATV and rode up to make sure his son was ok. I ran up the trail after them to get back and help anyway I could. I ended up riding up the mountain and getting the cooler and then coming back down to tow the ATV home with the ATV I was on. We loaded up all the ATVs on my uncle’s trailer and no one could believe that in not even 3 full days we managed to destroy 4 out of the 5 ATVs we had on this trip. Luckily no one was too badly injured, other than my brother breaking his arm. This trip was quite a memorable trip and one we will talk about for a while. I hope everyone else had a nice thanksgiving break, because I know besides the accidents I had one of the best thanksgivings I have had in a while. By the way, I am sorry I wrote so much; I just had to get the whole story in there. I even had to leave some minor details out so as not to make it too long. Anyway, see you all in class!

LETS PARTY!!.....Wait….R u serious?!….You stole her panties?!?!

So last weekend my friends and I were all sitting in the seventh floor lounge late at night on Friday talking and just messing around. Somehow we were talking about Halloween and how we went to this dance party and had a blast. So we all decided we would have a dance party in the lounge the following night and try to get as many people as we could to come. We all got up the next day and went to the mall together. On our way there I was talking to Crystle about how weird it would be if she had someone stare at her on the bus and be a creeper. And I was wondering what other people would think. So I decided that when people got off the bus and new people got on, I would creep on Crystle and see what people would say. No one new got on the bus, so we couldn’t do our plan. Anyway, we all got off at the mall, went in shopping, and walked around. Once we were done looking around and had bought 2 strobe lights, the fun filled night started. We sat down outside a shoe shop in some comfy chairs and noticed that the shoe shop had a mini merry-go-round for kids and thought we should ride it. So Crystle, Jim, and I all went into the store and got on it. It was the funniest thing ever because people kept staring and looking at use. We only managed to make it around 3 times before a woman who worked in the store yelled at us that there was a weight limit and that we needed to get off. So we decided to head to the food court. While in the food court, we noticed Crystle had a bag from Victoria Secret and began to mix the idea of the creeper and the Victoria Secret bag. So we decided I would go out to the bus stop and stand nowhere near everyone else in our group and get on the bus separately. Once on the bus I stood up in the middle and eventually took the seat next to Crystle. I began to look over my leg into her VS bag and seeing what was in there. I ended up looking into it, and sliding it over my way without her seeing. But when she would look back she would slide it back “thinking” it was the bus moving it around. After moving it towards me 3 times, I finally took it and stood up and went to the back of the bus. This stirred up the front of the bus because they began to think I left because I heard them talking about me but then conveniently Crystle noticed her VS bag missing. They began to look all over for it and then David came back and accused me of stealing it. By this point I had already stuffed it into my backpack and had been just sitting there quietly. David and I argued for a few and finally I walked back to the front where I was helping them look under the seats for the bag. While I was looking David grabbed my bag and opened it and pulled out the VS bag in front of the whole bus. People’s jaws dropped as I began to deny it all. I simply said I did not know what they were talking about; for how would I have taken the VS bag if David was holding it? We all began to argue back and forth while people on the bus began to get involved. Much to my surprise, there were actually 3 people on the bus who were supporting me. One guy told me to calm down and forget about it and just sit and chill. The other guy fist pounded me from across the bus saying it’s a public bus and I can do what I want to. And finally the girl told Crystle she should get off the bus and stop causing trouble. Everyone else was either in shock just sitting there, or they were whispering to their friends to not get involved. Very few people where actually talking. So after playing everyone with this massive show, we got off on the first stop. Everyone got off while I sat there and then jumped off the bus before the doors closed. I went behind the bus and crossed the street. Once David and Shawn thought I hadn’t gotten off the bus, they placed their bags down on the ground and turned around to go back and get me. While they were turned around I ran across the street and surprised the whole group by taking some of the bags they had laid down on the ground and running down the street. A few people were just staring, while one man tried to be a hero. An Asian man turned around and I was running at him. He threw his arms out and was going to tackle me once I got closer to him. I couldn’t help but stop and laugh, which meant everyone caught up to me and once they did they all gave me a hug. The people around began to realize that it was all a joke. The bus then drove by and saw us all laughing and hugging and they all realized it was all a set up. I even had a few people come up to me and shake my hand for how real it seemed. They thought we were amazing at keeping a straight face and making it so believable. We all started to laugh and walk down the side walk. It made out night!
We then went back to the dorm and had a dance party in the 7th floor lounge. We had a huge speaker system, 2 strobe lights, a black light, and I DJed it. It was a ton of fun and we r going to do the sat night party in the 7th floor lounge every weekend. We partied from like 730-10 and then headed off to the EPCAT battle outside of Dx. The whole group of us went to Dx, but only 3 of use actually participated. The rest of us got food and chilled, watching the EPCAT people kill each other. Then we went back to the dorms and watched a movie. This concluded our epic night together. I think all of us hung out from 3pm until about 2am. It was a blast!

Randomness

Trash and such
I am not going to lie. There needs to be an easier way to take the trash out from the 7th floor of the Lee building. My roommate and I end up letting the trash pile up till we have 4 trash bags worth of trash piled y our door before we take it out because it is annoying to have to go down stairs and walk to the dumpster and throw your trash out every weekend. So chip and I usually let the trash go for a while until it gets ridiculous. Like tonight, its 3 bags stuffed full. I think they should have some kind of trash shoot that you could swipe your card on to open or unlock and then throw your trash in and it would fall to the dumpster. That would be so much easier! I also think it would be nice if the new elevators in this building would work. The new elevators have basically been messed up since they were installed. The other day while I was waiting for the one working elevator to come down, I asked the maintenance man working on the elevator what has been wrong with them and why they break down so much. The man replied with “Well they left some pieces off when they installed them and so now we are having to put those pieces on now.” I just agreed with the man, but once I got into the elevator it really hit me. We have been riding these elevators without all the required pieces?! Are you serious?! Hell, the other day I had to walk up 8 flights of stairs after going to schiffert. They had shut both down for at least an hour. I guess it is not that big of a deal if u live on the lower floors, but living on the top floor of lee sucks when the elevators are broken. Something I do like about living on the 7th floor is the view. Sunsets and sun rises are amazing to watch from my window, and yes I am sorry to say I have watch both during the week. I have had 3 nights where I don’t sleep at all, but otherwise I have been getting a good amount of sleep. Anyway, the sunrises and sunset are really cool looking especially since I can see lane stadium and castle which tend to reflect the sun off them. It is quite a site. If I could I would attach a picture, but sadly I don’t have one yet. Maybe in a later blog I will attach it.

South Park
So a tradition some guys on my hall and I have started is that for the new season of South Park, we are watching it in my room every Wednesday night as a huge group. I think we have about 8 people or so in my room; Sometimes more. This has grown from like 3 of us to people from slusher and vawter coming over to watch with us. It is a lot of fun and its gives us all one night to all hang out and see each other. It is also a lot of ours busiest days and watching south park and all laughing together is a good way to relax after the stress filled day. I really like the group of guys I ended up living with. Everyone seems really cool and chill and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. And on top of that I met Jessie and Crystle, who always come over and chill with all the guys here too and it’s a blast.

Homesickness
So I don’t know why but I have become extremely homesick in the past 2 weeks. I want to go home and get to see my whole family as soon as possible. I want to drive my car. I want to see my dogs. And I want to see all my friends who I haven’t seen in forever. I never knew I would be so homesick and wanting to go home but I have just had this feeling of not wanting to work and just wanting to go chill. Relax some and see my family. I really need that right now because I have been quite stressed lately.

Friends
For some reason I have a ton of friends who talk to me like crazy, ask for advice, and tell me I am amazing for always being there for them, but then they stop talking to me. They stop contacting me and act like nothing is weird. Then when I try to contact them saying how I haven’t heard from them in forever and all they say is how “the phone works both ways”. I have to say that is a phrase that bugs me the most. I know a phones works both ways and that I can contact you, but honestly you never tried to contact me. I don’t really know what I am complaining about right now because this is kind of random and I am up late so I am just starting to talk randomly. This was just some random thing that came to mind. It kind of bugs me too because they get mad at me for little stupid things like that, but when I get upset about stupid little things I am over reacting. I don’t get it. I guess that’s why I like the guys who I am living near this year because they are all really chill about stuff and never seem to get flustered about stuff. I think this is where I was meant to be placed because it has helped me to not worry so much about stuff in life and to just move on and life how I want to life. Not let others affect me to much in how I act in life. I think this is enough thinking for the night. Hope u enjoyed the few random things you read about and that I ranted about. Thanks for reading! :p I knows it is just because you have too, but I figured I would still thank you!

ranting....idk

We all have best friends. Those people we can go to and talk about anything and they will help us or talk to us. They will sit with us when we are bored, hurt, upset, happy, anytime! And they support us when we find something that will make us happy. At least that’s what I do for the people who consider me their best friends. My best friend here at Virginia Tech is Stephen and we have been best friends since like the 6th grade. We have basically hung out every weekend thru middle school and high school and even here we at least see each other once a day to do lunch or something. We have always been there for each other and we have never really fought, but for some reason the other day we got into a fight and didn’t speak for a day or two. But luckily we made up today. We got into a fight because I was going to visit an ex-girlfriend of mine and was going to rent a car on my friends UCarShare account. I told Stephen I was going and he told me I was wasting my time and having poor time management skill this weekend. That kind of bugged me when he said that because he always treats me like some child who doesn’t know what he is doing and he acts like he is all knowing and the most perfect person and knows exactly what people are supposed to do to be on track in life. Which pissed me off because anytime he wants to go home to see his girlfriend, I support him in that and I just say “yea it would be good for you to get to see her” because I know he knows what he has to do and can do it without me hounding on him to do it. But anyway I rented that car and as I was leaving he told me about hidden fees I didn’t see and instead of the price I thought it was going to be, $75, the prices was going to be almost $175! So I called to cancel this reservation for the car due to “family issues” and it worked out all fine. But since the account I was using was a girl I knew, when I called in to cancel it with a male figures voice they put a hold on the account due to “suspicious activity”. And once we cancelled that, we planned on going to UVA for Halloween to seen some friends we haven’t seen in forever, so we had everything planned out and I was supposed to reserve the car for our trip. When I went to reserve it, I couldn’t. The online system wouldn’t allow me too, so I called them and the man I talked to told me that the girls whose account would have to send in a scanned picture of her driver’s license and sign it. This will take the hold off the account and allow her to reserve the cars again. So now the account is locked down until she gets back in town on Tuesday and can send them a picture or her license that she has signed. So now I think the girl is going to be mad at me, everyone who was supposed to come to UVA with me is pissed (Stephen being one of them), and the people I was supposed to visit are pissed because I couldn’t come. And on top of that I have to use my sister car to go pick her up in Roanoke on Tuesday morning, because I can’t use the rented car to do that. So now my sister isn’t very happy with me either. Basically the simple act of me trying to rent this car and my best friend treating me like I am a child caused this fight. This fight also started the other night when I was driving two girls I know to Roanoke and Stephen came along with me to help me navigate. On our trip back he ended up flipping on me telling me that he doesn’t trust me to drive and that he doesn’t want to die and that I need to focus more. This kind of bugged me, but w/e. So then when we were planning on going to UVA, Stephen was going to drive because im am not allowed to drive, for reason right now I am not going to share, and one kid was like “yea, my parents don’t care if I go as long as I don’t die”. Stephen immediately responded with “hah, oh no. I am driving. You won’t die.” I stood there and was like, in my head ofcourse, “are you kidding me? Did u seriously just say that?” I was so annoyed by that point. I am not a bad driver; I just push limits more than other people do. I go a little over the speed limit, I may change lanes close to someone, or something as stupid as listening to music loud. I am not bad! I have been in more accidents then Stephen, but Stephen’s accident was worse than mine. All my accidents have been slight taps. I have hit 4 people. All 4 times I slightly tapped their bumper and there weren’t even scratches on the bumpers. People stop shot sometimes. It happens. But Stephen’s accident caused him to mess up his whole rear bumper and some of his rear side panel. So I don’t think anyone has room to talk in this situation. We have both been in accidents and we have both been driving about the same time. Just because he thinks he is a better driver doesn’t mean he actually is. I don’t know why, but it gets to me so much when people judge me on who I am and what I do, when they have their own faults and shit just like me. Who are they to talk? I don’t mind a simple, hey maybe what this a little, that can get you in trouble. Ok, thank you for telling me. But when u just rip me down and treat me like I don’t know what I am doing in life and that I am going to fuck some stuff up if you don’t step in my way, it bugs me more than anything else.

Great Value

So am I the only one noticing that the brand name Great Value is taking over the grocery stores? i looked at the off brand and thought to myself that they couldn’t have been any good, but one day I decided to get a few great value products. I will be honest the only reason I got them was because they are cheaper and I was running low on cash. And surprisingly the products were really actually pretty good! I think that because they don’t have to spend their money on promoting their products, they can spend it on better ingredients and still charge less than the brand name products. I would really suggest, if you like poptarts which who are we kidding, everyone loves poptarts to try the great value poptarts. They are amazing! So u know how the brand name Poptart always have very little filling and it tastes like you are eating just pastry with a tiny bit of filling. Poptart has also started to cut back on the frosting. Well this kind of bugs me, which is why I now get the great value poptarts. They have a ton of frosting on them and they have a lot more filling then the brand name poptarts, which makes them so much better. It doesn’t taste like all breading and very little extra good stuff! Don’t judge me just because I like my poptarts to be sweet and sugar filled :-P but anyway, I was just noticing how this one product could start to basically take over the grocery stores, because if you walk down any isle in the store now you will see at least 2 products in that isle produced by Great Value. And since its so cheap too, me and my family joke how it is a “great value” which also helps the consumer remember the product and have the name get stuck in your head. Maybe it is just me, but I know the brand name is stuck in my head and I sometimes get great value items, not because they are cheap, but because they actually taste better than the other stuff. It is simply a bonus that it is also inexpensive.

YOUTUBE!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYJxcjMXgmk&feature=related (power mat commercial)
This is that commercial for the Power Mat charging system thing. I love this commercial! I saw it on television a few weeks ago and I immediately had to look up the commercial on youtube to watch it again! I love commercials like this. Somehow it clicks with people more I think because it is so out there and unexpected to be seen on television, that people pay more attention remember the product because it was presented so differently than other commercials. I think more commercials should work on shocking people into remembering their product or making the viewer laugh really hard because I think you remember their products better that way. I honestly can only think of 2 commercials right now and it is because they made me laugh so hard! The Budweiser swear jar commercial and this commercial. I don’t remember these commercials because I drink or because I have the power mat thing, but because I laughed my ass off when I saw these commercials.

I have to say I love SNL! They have all kinds of videos which may not have a purpose but that are so damn funny! This is one of those videos which has absolutely no point, but is still so funny! There isn’t much I can say about these videos except that my friends and I quote Jizz in my pants, I’m on a boat, and I threw it on the ground all the time for no reason! These videos are all so pointless but they are so funny! And you can’t say you are not a fan of SNL. Especially with other videos like Dick in a box and all! They take some of the most random things in the world and make then funny. Its amazing!

This video isn’t very funny, or at least I don’t think. But apparently tons of people thought this video was pretty funny and like to quote it. I saw this video once and didn’t really ever watch it again till I was trying to find something to blog about and thought blogging about youtube videos would be cool. So I decided to do that. Now I basically need to blog another hundred words so that then I can blog about the other thing I am going to blog about. I figure to entries of five hundred words each is probably easier than trying to write about the same thing for all one thousand words and then just end up rambling by the end. There is one final video I wanted to comment on and it is this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYnMYZDsrJM
This video is about Obama and what he would be saying after being in office for a year. It is basically ripping on him that he isn’t doing crap and how he isn’t doing anything for anyone. I am not usually someone who likes to talk about politics or political things, but this video was kind of funny. I am not for or against Obama, so I am just kind of watching this video to laugh. I think its funny how no matter who our president is, we always make fun of him. No matter how smart or how dumb, we find things to mock him about and things he does that is stupid. And we also like to expose these faults because I guess it makes us feel better about our decision or its just to mock others who didn’t vote for what we did. I don’t really know. Well, that’s all I wanted to write about involving youtube and all, so now I guess your gonna have to read my next blog too. :-)

Wow...Talk about an eye opener....

Wow…Talk about an eye opener….

I think all of these ads really catch people’s attention and makes them think a lot about other people they could possibly injure by drinking and driving. We are always told how if u drink and drive, that you could kill someone and/or possibly yourself. But rarely do people say you could just seriously mess up a life forever. The people who only get seriously injured are then forced to deal with seriously obstacles in life, much like the girl in the picture on the left had to. She was beautiful and was happy in life. She had everything under control and then while she was in a friend’s car they were hit by a drunk driver. This is what resulted from her being hit. She was not killed, but instead just seriously injured. This ties in with the middle picture because now after being hit, she can park in that spot, but that isn’t a good thing. Can u even stop to think about that? Every 48 seconds, someone gets hit by a drunk driver. This picture really makes you think about how much driving drunk can affect your life or someone else’s. Even some picture like the last one on the right can send a message to not drink and drive. Although I don’t believe the last picture is nearly as strong as the first 2, but it still sends a message. I think that so many people see these pictures and blow them off because they think they can be safe when driving a little drunk. I actually know an adult who told me he drove drunk once and made it home without any accident or anything. He was so proud of himself and I couldn’t believe him. I was so pissed that he risked something like that and was proud of it. I am always willing to be anyone’s designated driver if they call me because then I know they got home safe and they also didn’t hurt anyone else in the process of driving home. I am so disturbed when others only think about themselves and no one else. i guess I always think twice about driving anytime is because I have diabetes and if my blood sugar is out of control it is hard to control my actions, aka pass out or faint. This happens when my blood sugar is low and sometimes even when it is too high. This makes me worry and also makes me check my blood sugar each time I drive so that I know I will not faint or pass out and have that cause a major issue or accident. in this blog basically I just wanted to analyze these ads and how they affect people and get a message through to you. These ads use pictures and images which is one of the most effective ways to communicate information. Pictures help other understand because they can sometimes resurface a sensitive memory or something which will make them listen and understand where you are coming from. Maybe even a certain song or something being said as this ad comes up can really cause someone to listen and feel what you are saying. I always get hit hard with songs that are tied to sad memories when they are played in commercials.
Like I said earlier, when images are involved they spark something in our mind if it had to do with a part of our lives and I found that in this commercial this happens for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYBz2gjlEfA (don’t watch this video is you are at all squeamish) I think this video speaks to me so much because I have a huge passion for dogs. I have always grown up with dogs in my house and always had a connection with dogs and I don’t really know how to explain it, but having a dog was sometimes the best thing in the world to me because you could talk and pet and sit with relax with and they somehow can calm me down. I don’t want to sound like some freak, but it is true. I don’t think I could make it through life without my baby, Molly. She is a medium sized dog who is about 12 years old. I am not totally sure of her age because my aunt found her on the streets in NYC and gave her to me once she had all her shots and what not. She has been a huge part of my life and even now sitting here thinking of her dying is upsetting and bothersome. She is getting kind of old and turning gray, so I know the day is coming when I may not have her anymore. So when I see people treat other dogs and animals in a bad way or miss treat them, it bothers me. This is why I think this video gets me so much. I believe if you can touch someone sensitive spot in their heart, then you can really get them to listen to you and to take into consideration what you are trying to tell them. I never feel ads are to hurt us in anyway. Ads are simply to inform us of things in the world. Once we learn about them, we can chose to embrace them or to reject them, but I believe ads are meant to be informative and not deceitful. I am not really sure how to analyze these commercials other then tell you what I feel about them. I hope this is how we are supposed to analyze things, but if not, please comment or feel free to text me or tell me in class that I did this completely wrong and looked like an idiot. :-p

random stuff on my mind

I have no idea what I am going to blog about. I guess I will just blog about life and how I cannot wait to go home this coming weekend for fall break. I haven’t seen any of my family since I moved in, beside my older sister who also goes here, and am missing them all like crazy. I never thought I would be home sick but I really am. It is kind of weird! I have never been the type to get home sick. I used to go on basketball trips all over the US and even to Europe for a few weeks in the summer. It was one of the coolest things ever! I loved all the traveling and I almost enjoyed it more than being home because it added change and excitement to my life. When I was at home things were always the same, I knew what the house was like, and I had rules to follow. When we would go on basketball trips we would have a few rules to follow, but for the most part we would do whatever we wanted and I would get to hang with my friends all day long. This was really cool because my best friend, Spencer, was also on the team with me. And now I thought I would love college because it would be like a long trip, but I miss home. I miss all my friends, family, and even neighbors. Is that weird to miss neighbors? I don’t think it is weird because I have been best friends with since they moved in when I was in 6th grade. Anyway, it is weird being home sick after never being home sick all through high school.
I guess the next thing I will talk about will be how serious my health in life is and how I am going to need good health insurance to stay alive. I mean since I have been here at Virginia Tech, I have visited the hospital 3 times and will for a 4th time tom for my final check up. I have run up a huge bill for prescriptions and hospital stays and I am just lucky enough that my insurance finally reached the point where all that stuff is taken care of and I don’t pay a thing when I have to go. I thank God that we got to this point with our insurance before I began having all the problems I have had.
I am only at 427 words and have no idea what I am going to blog about. I am currently laying on the floor of the living room in my sister apartment with her dog, Abby, writing this. I am lay down because I cannot sit and haven’t been able to since Sunday morning. I had a cyst in my lower back, like right above my ass and it is a fucking killer. They had to put me on all kinds of pain killers and numbed my lower back. Then they took a scalpel and had to cut it open and drain it. This hurt like a bitch because when they told me they would numb it, I thought I wouldn’t feel it. Well I was way wrong! I felt it and it hurt! Well after I was all done with that, I went back to my sister’s apartment and fell asleep on her couch due to the amount of medication in my system. I ended up waking up around 7 or 8 or 9, I don’t know really, I don’t remember. So anyway, took more pain medication and ate a small dinner, then I went back to sleep till this morning when I woke up and had to get up and go back to the E.R. which was not going to be fun. While there they drugged me up some more and then had to change the bandages, so they did that. Then they put new bandages on it because it still seems like it wasn’t healed enough not to re-bandage it. So now I have more bandages on it and am again lying on my sister’s floor in pain. And on top of that I have another appointment tom to have it looked at again. Hopefully tom will be the final day I have to go to the E.R. for a good amount of time.
Even after that story I am only at 741 words. Ugh, this is so frustrating when you’re tired and feeling kind of sick. At least Julia let me have another day to do it. Having that time really helped a lot considering I feel asleep on my laptop last night trying to write this but couldn’t stay awake because of the pain killers.
Ok, so what am I going to talk about for 200 more words? I could talk about how I plan on buying some new DJ gear and going back to DJ at one of the biggest dances my high school called SuperDance which is one of the largest fund raisers in the area to find a cure for CFF.
It was funny the other night when my mom, who works at my high school, started texting me from my high school’s homecoming dance saying that the DJ sucked and how he wasn’t playing music that people could dance to and how no one was dancing and he even had dead air time between songs. She said how I should come back and do next years and how I should DJ for this coming years SuperDance. She was surprised by how bad this DJ was and how upset some of the kids were getting and felt bad for them because for the seniors, it is their last, and for the freshman you don’t really want them thinking that’s what homecoming is really like. I am really considering doing it. I tried being a DJ for our school radio, but didn’t like it. It is so different then DJing a party. When I DJ a party, I can chose w/e music I want, play it however I want, and play it whenever I want too. At the stations there were certain songs that had to be played and so you only got to play very little of what u wanted. And you also cannot get instant feedback about a song like you can at a dance. If people go crazy and scream, u did well. But if they kind of stop dancing and stand around, you better start thinking about a new song to switch to as soon as u can.
Well I think that’s enough blogging for this week. I managed to make it to 1150 words. That’s decent. Hope you enjoyed reading it. J peace.

Life.....

How can so many people be so sure what they want in life or who they want to be with for the rest of their life? I thought I knew what I wanted to be or who I wanted to be with and where my life was headed, but damn did college throw me a curve ball. I have met people who I wish the one I was with was more like. I have learned that some of the things my ex-girlfriends did or do I miss and wish I still had. I have learned that what I want to do with my life is not always easy but if you truly want it you will push through. I have learned that I am not totally he best at managing my time. And I have also learned that people are not always accepting of others or understanding of other problems in life and could care less about what their problems are and only need to focus on themselves. I have learned that what I think is common courtesy, is not always what other people think. And the final thing I have learned is that I am definitely meant to be a family man and a dad. I love being in a relationship, caring about another person, helping them always, being there for them to fall back on, and always having someone you can talk to. I know that’s what my life is calling me to be and to do. I honestly think that’s the only thing I am sure of right now. I don’t know if I want to be an engineer, where I want to live, who I want to be with for life, where I want my life to take me, and what I want to get out of life.
When I look at life I enjoy hanging out with others and watching movies, going bowling, walking around, playing pool, playing basketball, and just chilling in general. But I have never been the partying type. I don’t think I ever went to a party in high school and I am ok with that. I mean I went to school dances and DJed a lot of stuff and had a blast doing that, but I have never been the type of person to go to a party without a point other than to drink or whatever. I would much rather hang with 5-10 friends I am close with and watch a movie or sit around and talk about life. Same with someone who I am dating, in that when we hang out id rather it be with a small group of people or alone watching a movie or talking. Not going to a party to get fucked up or 2 do whatever. I definitely have to say my favorite thing to do for a date is to go to the lake by my house and walk around it at about 12am. With all the stars out and the silence, it is just so calming.
So as to where I want life to take me. I want life to take me in the direction of a happy wife, a few kids, healthy family, and a healthy bank account. I want to live in a small house that is just big enough to fit my kids, my wife and I, and the 2 dogs I want. I don’t want too big of a house because it allows a family to grow distant and I want a family where everyone is close to each other. Like my house where every bedroom has 2 people in it and we have 5 dogs who all sleep in the kitchen at night. We are all close because we have to be and now love being close to each other. This is the complete opposite of one of my friends from home where the dad is loaded and each kid has their own room with a plasma, DVD player, and either an xbox or playstation 2/3. I asked him and he hates it because everyone just goes to their rooms and hangs there. They never really hang out and never really have family dinners. I want to have family dinner ever night and possibly a family breakfast every morning. I know it gets hard to do as everyone gets older, but I want to do it as long as I can.
So I know what some of you may be thinking because its I get it a lot. You thinking “damn, this kid thinks about the future a lot!” and yes, that’s true. I love to think about the future abd what I will be, who I will be, and what I will have. I also like to think about how I am going to help others and show others that I am a caring person/helpful person. I want to be the person who helps other any and every way I can. But I wont blog about that again. I already talked about that in a different blog. So anyway, I would say 85% of the thinking I do in a day is about the future, and the other 15% is about what I can do today or this week to improve the future.
One other random thing is that I want to be close to my family, both distance and relationship wise, because I want them to come visit a lot. I don’t like big parties, as I said earlier, but I do like family gatherings and hanging out at the house. And I want to be close to both of my best friends for life. I want to live near Stephen and Spencer and hang out all the time until we die.
So what are you thinking right now? You thinking about your future too? I have a feeling after reading this you too will wonder where life is going to take you and who life is going to keep you close to.

What imiss and wish iha time to do....

So as most of you know I was a DJ at my high school and that I have been obsessed with music ever since like the seventh grade when I got my first Ipod. I found that you can say so much by what song you play in certain situations or by what songs you put on a CD for someone. Music sends a huge message and can also set the mood for certain events. Like in any love story movie, they don’t play I like big butts by Sir-Mix-A lot during a love scene. That would just be dumb. They would play something like the song Everything by Michael Buble. Music adds so much to life and I don’t think I could live without it! I would have to say that my dream job would to be a professional DJ for all kinds of events because I get so much joy out if getting others to day and have fun and let loose! The only thing stopping me from my dream is the fact that the odds of you getting a really well paying DJ job are slim. I want to have a job that makes bank and then in my free time ill spend time DJing things. the only thing stopping me from DJing more right now is all the work being an engineer takes....

Dreams and Life...wis those mean the same things....

In my life I want to have a loving wife, a happy family, nice cars, small house on a big lot, nice boat, atvs, and anything I want to keep my family happy and active. I don’t want my kids to sit around the house and not go outside. I want my house to be the house my kids friends want to come to and chill, that way I know they are all safe. I dream of giving back to my parents something to show them I appreciate what they have done all my life. My parents have tried to give me everything to be happy in life. They paid for my education, bought me a car, feed me, give me a place to sleep, and they love me and I want to repay them in some way. So I have been thinking these past few years and I decided what I will get them. My mom and dad are both big car people and because they are I have become a huge fan of cars as well. So I thought I would do something involving cars to make it unique with us and when they see it it will always remind them of me. My mom has always wanted a new mustang and so when I have the money I am going to get here a fully loaded mustang for her to drive and have fun in. and my dad I think would enjoy the new dodge challenger that came out, so I would get him that fully loaded for him to have fun in. I want them both to have fun as soon as I can afford to give it to them because my entire life they have worked their asses off to pay for everything I have. Therefore I want to pay for part of their life and make it so they dont have to worry about things for a while…..

Dream Cars

I was bored the other day in my room and decided to look up the dream cars I want to have when I start my life. Damn, I am an expensive person! Every car I looked at or built online and priced came to a minimum of $52,000 all the way up to $108,000. The cars I want to have are a fully loaded dodge viper, fully loaded chevrolet suburban, and a Mercedes convertible. But those would just be my cars. I would still need cars for my wife and kids. but I also thought about y I would need all these cars….and how I could help out my kids….so I thought of this. My kids get a cheap car to drive in college and when they go to college freshman year they will leave the car home with me. They are then allowed to bring their car to school sophomore year to help with getting around and make life a little easier. After their sophomore year, granted they are doing well, they can chose to keep they car they have or they can give that back to me and pick any of the cars I own at the time and it is theirs. Any car at all that they want will be theirs. I got this idea because my parents have an deal with me, as they had with my older sister, that after my sophomore year I get the car they bought me my junior year of high school. I get to have the car and its all mine. But the deal is that I have to pay them back for however much they paid for the car. This works out well because if I don’t have the money one month, I will not get killed with late fees. I will simply pay them when I have it. I like this plan because it helps me to get my life started and to get around. I would do something similar for my kids, like I just described above. And I don’t want people to get me wrong; I don’t want to be some rich dick that everyone hates. If I end up spending my money on others to help them and end up driving crappy cars and living in a shitty house, then I will still be happy in life. My number one goal in life is to help others make it through life with a smile on their face, rather than I screw people over so I have the most money in the world. I could care less how much money I have. I just know that if I have a lot of money, it will be easier for me to help others and not worry about it or worry I am not going to be able to pay my own bills.

What else am I going to talk about?

So this post is just going to be about something going on in my life. I have nothing else to write about in these blogs!! I am running out of things to talk about! ! I have never been much of a writer and now I have to write 1000 words every week? I am going to run out of things quick. I will admit this is helping me write though. It is helping more with my casual writing and not so much with my formal writing. But that’s ok, cause I am an engineer and don’t need to write very much…..hopefully! :-p well that’s it for this week! Ill be back nextr week to force out another 1000 words for you! Peace! J

Galileo/Homework

So as some of you may know, I am a part of the Galileo living program here at Virginia Tech and I want to talk about that for a few minutes. I want to say how little of a life I am able to have because of all the homework and stuff we have to do in this program. Plus on top of that I have so much homework in all my other classes that it is just kind of overwhelming. I am trying to balance both my academic and social life. It is a lot harder than I thought it would be. The previous weekend I sat around and did a lot of homework, and I didn’t really go out much. I felt very anti-social. So this past weekend I decided to go out and have fun and see people and hang out with people and see the football game and just relax. And do you want to know where that got me? Well it got me here, stuck in my room on a Sunday afternoon doing nothing but homework basically all day. I went to 10 am mass, went to get a quick bite to eat with the friends I went to mass with, and got back to my room about 12. I have been in my room since doing homework. And will be long after this is posted because I still need to finish up my English paper, Galileo homework, engineering homework, and calculus homework. Like I said, I am so far behind now for having a decent social life this weekend. Ugh, why does college have to be like this? Why cant we just take classes a little at a time and do well in them? Oh, right, because life isn’t like that. Life is always busy and we will always be running around with too many things to do. I guess I will push through it now and get on with life so that maybe later in life I will have time to sit around and relax more.

What do you think about when you hear this four letter word?

Not having English class all this past week has been one of the best things that could have happen to me! It was such a refreshing thing knowing that I had an extra hour or so to do whatever I wanted to do. I would take a nap, do laundry, or even do some more homework that I had for other classes. I managed to actually write 2 papers this week for English because I got halfway through my first paper and couldn’t quite finish it. I talked about how me and my friends use the term “That’s What She Said” in basically all the conversations we have in a day. And they are always really good ones too. But I ran into a problem. I had nothing else to say. I had all my thoughts down and needed 600 more words. So I decided to rewrite my paper on something I think you could talk someone to death with. I chose to talk about love. The simple four letter word which we all use multiple times in a day to describe so much. We use it to describe how we feel about a sandwich, movie, friend, family, driving, a sport, walking, running, etc, etc. the list goes on and on. What do u think about when u think of the word love? Do u think about someone close to you in your life? Do you think about a family member? Friend? What? When I think about the word love I think of my family. And when I say family, I mean more than just my mom, my dad, and siblings. I live in a house with 8 other people and 5 dogs. I live with my mom, dad, two sisters, one brother, grandma, grandpa, and aunt. Having so many people in the house always makes for an exciting life. There is always someone in the house and always someone you can talk to. This is what I think of when I think about love. Everyone in the family loves each other and is willing to help each other no matter what the situation. My aunt, Kathy, has always been there for me and I am always there for her too.This one time, Kathy and I both had a rough day and we were both home. I was doing homework for school the next day and she was online dealing with some banking issues. She ended up coming into the office where I was working and asking me if I wanted to get some pancakes at IHOP to just get away from the house for a little and relax. It being around 11pm and me having a bunch of work to do I had to think about it for a second. And of course, me being a procrastinator, said yes immediately! We ended going to IHOP and getting a ton of food, pigging out, and talking till about 2am. It was so much fun! So I guess this is what I think about when I think about love. I think about family always being there for each other and having each other’s backs when they need something.

LOUD or soft music?

So something I am sure everyone has noticed about people is to whether some like to blast music and be obnoxious with it or just have the volume high enough to hear it. I am one of those people who drive around with all the windows down in the car and the volume extremely loud. Usually my family knows when I am puling in my driveway because they heard music playing. I guess that comes from Djing. Cuz when I am driving around I notice people car-dance or smile or wave or whatever and those are usually people who are my own age or around it. I also get the reaction of the head shake and being yelled at by older people that I am a reckless teenager. I don’t consider my music to be as dangerous as the people who drive and try to yell at me at the same time and end up swerving. Those are the people who are reckless.

SICK BASS or little bass in music?

I am not going to lie the more bass you can pump from a system, the happier I am going to be. I love to feel the rumble from the bass of a song. And the reason I mention this is cuz I live on the 7th floor of lee and its all guys…so basically we all have a lot of electronics. And one thing I have noticed is that having a sick system will attract people into your room to see what the hell you are packing. I am in the process of making my own system to try and shake the hell out of my floor, but it may not be ready until next year. So don’t be expecting to see it anytime soon.

eye issues / i dont understand certain people...

So this past week, as most people in my English class know, I was in the hospital because I got an infection in the tissue around my eye. I am not quite sure how I got it, but I also had this problem sophomore year in high school. Because I am a diabetic, my immune system is not as strong as other people and it doesn’t help that im allergic to all antibiotic except one which only come in an I.V. form. So anyway, I had to have my mom come get me Wednesday, spent Thursday in the hospital for the infection and came back 1am Friday morning. Something I noticed while dealing with the insurance company, the doctors, and the nurses that people there, unless you are in the pediatric section of the hospital, don’t give a shit. They could care less most of the time. The doctor gave me the option of being admitted to the hospital out of the e.r. or to just get a prescription and go on my way. I asked the doctor for a prescription, and knowing my insurance would need him to call to clear me for the medicine, I also asked him to call the insurance and let them know. He wouldn’t respond to me asking with anything except “I don’t do that. You need to have your primary care doctor call them.” Now y would I have a doctor who didn’t write the prescription and didn’t see me for the infection call the insurance? Does that make any sense? Not to me it doesn’t. My mother and I continued to argue with him that he needed to do it, but still refused. We spent an hour there arguing and finally left. We ended up calling the doctor I had seen earlier that morning before being sent to the e.r. and asked her if she would call my insurance to help me out. She sadi she would happily do anything needed to get me the prescription. The doctor and my mother then spent the next 6 hours fighting the insurance company to clear me for the prescription. I feel like the only reason the insurance didn’t want me to get it was because the prescription of 20 pills is worth $2000. So finally I got the pills and now I am taking them and I am getting better each day. I am glad that everything worked out, but it was a pain in the ass getting here. So basically I wrote this whole story to talk about how some people in the world are so preoccupied with doing as little as possible in life and making sure they focus on themselves, that people don’t get proper treatment and people get screwed in the end. If the doctor hadn’t been willing to do something for me that wasn’t even her job I would still be suffering from the infection. Its people who don’t look to help people in their life who piss me off and make me even surer of what I want to do with mine. I want to do nothing but help people with any problem they may be having. I want to be the guy everyone comes to for help and I want to be able to help them. I don’t see myself doing anything else in life and it is hard for me to image being any other way! I don’t know....maybe that’s just me….

Weak Ass Funiture!

So this is going to be a short post, but is anyone else having a problem with their VT furniture breaking in their room? Because I have already broken two of my desk chairs and I am wondering if I am the only one doing this. The first one I messed up pretty bad and this second one is only slightly cracked. I swear I am not doing anything crazy. I sit in it and slightly rock back in it, like it is made to do. And somehow I crack the back of it. But at the same time, my roommate leans way back in his so it is about to fall back and his chair is in great condition! I don’t get it! oh, and most of my floor knows that I broke it because the other day I mentioned it and I got this reaction. “You’re the kid who broke his chair?! No way! How?!” Someone please comment of this as to what I should do!

“A TOUGH, ENJOYABLE, AND LAUGHING RIOT”

Jessie Denson – age 17. It seems she was destined to be a Hokie ever since she was spotted head banging to metalica in the backseat of her father’s car at the age of 5. Born in Alexandria, VA on January 29, 1992, Jessie is now a freshman at Virginia Tech. Jessie is interested in sports and staying active during her time here at Virginia Tech. She is studying mechanical engineering and hopes that when she begins her career that it not be stuck behind a desk. She just returned this summer after spending an short time in Africa. While in Africa, Jessie learned that her favorite animal is a warthog. Yes, believe it or not, a warthog is this girls favorite animal!
Coming from a divided household, she is an only child but has 6 family members- 2 step brothers, mom, dad, step dad, step mom. Within this household Jessie always played the “best friend” of the parents instead of being the child. Although coming from a divided household, Jessie didn’t let it bother her and she pushed on in life to succeed. This is still present in her life today as she works through the engineering homework given at Virginia Tech. “She is one of the strongest people I know. She won’t admit it, but I see it in her”, said Crystle, “She is good at not giving into temptation or caving under pressure. She accepts challenges in life and pushes on always.”
At a young age, Jessie found her favorite pet at her mother’s house. What she called “her baby” is her cat named Slick. She has had him since she was 7 years old and loves his spastic and crazy ways. She has a total of 7 pets in her life. There are 2 cats at her mother’s house and 5 dogs at the father’s house.
As all people do, Jessie has her likes and dislikes. Jessie likes ice cream, art, sports, and warthogs. While she dislikes people who tend to chew gum with their mouth open and girls who chose to make drama out of nothing.
Jessie met her best friend, Crystle, 8 years ago on a little league softball team. Crystle says that Jessie “is very easy person to get along with” and that she “would do anything for anyone she cares about because she has such a great heart”. Crystle and Jessie have never had a fight within their friendship and feel that that is a pretty big feat. While Jessie may seem quiet at first, once you talk to her or get to know her she opens up and is a lot of fun!
Jessie had been dating her boyfriend, Alex, for 3 years now and plans on continuing her life with him. She truly feels there is a special connection between them. She met Alex through her ex-boyfriend because Alex was his really good friend.
One unique thing that Jessie wants people to know about her is that when she laughs really hard at anything, she sounds like she is crying or some people even think she is dying. So don’t be alarmed when she seems like she is in pain or upset, she is probably just laughing and enjoying life.
Jessie likes to stay involved in sports and be active every day. She is not the typical tom boy though. Although she enjoys sports and being active, she also enjoys art. In high school she took AP art while also being on varsity sports.
Recently Jessie was employed by an engineering company in the form of an internship. While working for them, she made her own patent and really enjoyed her time there. This internship helped to show Jessie what she wanted to do with her life and how she wanted to spend her time.
Jessie wants to get a lot out of life. She wants to be successful in whatever job she decides to do as her career. She wants to be able to support her family and all their needs while also having a happy and healthy family. And until she has a family, she want to be able to support herself in life so that she is happy, healthy, and helping others.
Later in life Jessie wants to repay and help out her aunt in any way she can. Her aunt put up with a lot of crap in her life with the divided families and constant tension in the household, yet she was always was caring and loving towards Jessie. Another important person that Jessie would like to help out is her grandma. One of the nicest and most caring people she knows, has also has dealt with a lot of crap. Her grandma now lives alone after the death of her husband a few years ago. Jessie feels she deserves to be cared for and loved for after all she has done. Even if Jessie simply just visits her to say hello and talk for a bit, she thinks that will make her day all the better because she knows she has someone who cares about her. As Jessie did when she was younger.
Jessie was asked “what would you do in life if you knew you couldn’t fail at anything?” and responded in a way that was surprising. She simply said she would be more adventurous in life. She would join more sports, activities, and even classes in college. She wasn’t worried about a certain job or dating someone famous or anything unrealistic like that. She simply wanted to be more involved. That shows a lot about who she is in life and that she doesn’t look for material things to make her happy, but instead looks for people to be around and enjoy life with. People like Jessie are rare and when you find them you should keep them as a part of your life.
