That is it so far.... I may add more or hell, I may just even DO them.

No Title, Just Thoughts

It's been a while since I've actually looked at this thing so why not add something to it?

I've noticed when people meet me for the first time or the first few times they can't really pinpoint what my "deal" is. I can't really tell you what it is but to know my past is to understand why I'm "the way" I am.

First off, I know my looks are more than average (depending on the day) but I don't see that a reason to be conceited or treat others as beneath me. If you've seen my facebook, you know what I looked like growing up. And if you haven't... just picture big round glasses, part on the side and chipmunk cheeks. That transformed into looking like the 4th Hanson. Seems funny now, but it really wasn't then.

I've been teased and bullied for most of my life... and even now I've noticed people try to break me down saying some of the most ignorant and stupid things about me. But I've learned to take it all in stride because in fact it makes me BETTER than them.

I would love to get involved with helping younger kids that do get bullied because I've first handed experienced it for so long and if I could help anyone rise above it, well that would be awesome. I've learned you can act like a victim but you will ALWAYS get victimized.

Also during this time, I had time to "develop" my personality. I've always had the mentality to treat others how I want to be treated. Whether they have hurt me, I always hear the other person out... even if I know 100% that I shouldn't. I've also been able to distance myself from any group of friends, frankly because I'm in my own world half the time. This led to me not becoming a "part of the group" that goes to bars every weekend and drinks every chance they get. That whole lifestyle gets boring quick and I'd rather do something more productive with my time and money.

But any-who, it'll be interesting to see what direction this will go in (if I ever write in this again). So we shall see what the future hold.

Meh..

Would say that I am kinda bored... but let's go with contemplating my options.

I already knew sitting at a desk all day was not for me (but I have been doing so for over 2 years.) I want to do more, make a difference and just hate not being productive. My work ethic is too damn strong.

I will admit I kinda do miss PetSmart because at least I got a nice workout, walked around and DID something. Actually, I kicked ass working at that place. I knew what had to be done and I did it.

I would love to be an Animal Cruelty Investigator but I know how sensitive I am. But making such a big difference to the lives of the animals would be such an accomplishment. I would def. have to numb myself of any situation I would be in, but I would def. be up for the challenge. There is no excuse to abuse animals, if you can't no afford to take care of them, don't have the time, or just don't feel like it... then DON'T DO IT. You're not doing the animal a favor by chaining it up outside in the sun with little water and no food or shelter. If you wouldnt wanna be treated like this, then don't do it to another living thing. I'm also talking about any animal you take into your home and in your care.

There goes my rant of the day.
