"Well yesterday i went to go visit the that certain someone i was seeing...i was really excited the day before, cuz the anticipation of spending the day with her and having a great time just kept popping up in my mind .......so when we arrived to our destination, she was looking great!...beautiful as she always is and i was so thrilled and the moment that met face to face was just exhilarating!!.....i was getting real comfortable with everything and then just as i felt like i got so used to things and there wasnt a thing to worry about...........I STRAIGHT GOT PUT ON CHECK!.......i got spanked, slapped, whatever you want to call it........i was shocked, laying down on my side, cradled in a fetal postion writhing in pain, suffering and almost weeping like the little kid i am.............this just didnt happen once, i got smacked about 4 more times....it just felt like i needed to leave her....so i did......for the day...." y'all say you want an explanation? well i went up to go snowboarding, and i was really excited cuz theres new snow up there cuz of the recent rainy weather we had...so as i arrived there, there was good snow and good weather (sunny day, little breezy, not so much powder though but good enough)....i was going down the hills with no problems and i was getting real comfortable, i was able to go off a few jumps and landing them ok....but i wanted to concentrate on gaining faster speeds down the hills......and this one run i had, i went down the hill real fast, it was the fastest i had ever gone on the snowboard.....i was just thrilled that i was able to go down that fast without any hesitation or notion that i needed to slow down or stop.....sooooo, in the last 2 runs i went on, i had the confidence that i could go as fast as i wanted to....as i went down the first big hill really fast, i was at my top speed at the end of the hill and i was carving slightly to my left trying to avoid this person, but i got a little careless and i caught an edge on my board....my elbow plunged against my rib as i fell straight on my left arm first, and my head slammed on the ground and i rolled around maybe about 3-4 times........i layed there in the fetal postion, frightened with the thought of having my arm and/or rib broken.......i didnt know which to cry for pain first, "OOOOWWWW my arm!!.....no wait.....my rib!!!.....i mean my arm!!!.....laying there for several minutes trying to regain my senses, i realized nothing was broken, "thank goodness"......i could still move my arm ok and the pain on my rib reduced after a little while......i got up and continued going down the hill......traumatized by this fall, i fell about 4 more brutal times after, just thinking about it and being self conscious about going down the hill.......i felt like this was a sign for me to leave cuz i didnt even have any more energy just to carve down the hill...i used most of my energy trying to recover and getting up from my viscious falls......... snowboarding was mean to me at the end....what did i do to deserve this??.....but now the question that remains is this........is snowboarding worth it?.....is she all that is cracked up to be?......i dont know anymore......in fact i dont think she is, but she is just a great escape for the day......something to take your mind off the daily troubles and complications of life.....in fact i am not scared to go again and i will go again soon and go down the hill as fast as i have been trying to with better success or more confidence than ever!

well....school has been going alrite so far....i am finally put down in a group in that CS project class i am in, although i havent met any of them yet, but i will today in duscussion class......the other night, i was looking around for some legos, because for my technical writing class, i am supposed to build some sort of object and write down instructions for making that particular object......sooooooo, i went to target.......and guess what happened, as i was entering the facility, a lady was headed towards the entrance as well and then i heard this hard screachin' noise of car brakes.......she almost got hit by a car!!......1 inch away practically!.....she gave that car the STARE DOWN and said, "whats wrong with choo??"....i thought the car (or person inside) looked scared, frightened, and guilty......but i was wrong, it had an attitude and just turned a little bit to the side and drove right past by the lady without letting her walk through first................

well my first experience at mammoth wasnt all that was cut out to be......yes the mountain was huge and there were tons of runs you could go on....but only if you can get there......due to weather, alot of the lifts that were affected by the strong winds blowing were closed down.....also, due to the martin luther king weekend, there were tons and tons of people......i have never waited so long to go up on a lift before.....nearly 25 minutes just to get on the first lift..............BUT let me tell you about the weather......yes it was sunny as predicted, but the winds!....the gust of winds blowing every which way......let me tell ya!, first time i realized why there is a wind chill is measured.....on the lifts, it felt like we were just hanging meat racks......whew!!!.......it really really got bad at some certain points in time.......going down the mountain, stop and duck and cover my head with all the little snow rocks/ice flying and hitting you..... but all in all, i had fun still, i am getting the hang of going off the jumps....but i have yet to still go off a bigger jump, just practicing on the small jumps for now.......the lines started dying down after the winds started picking up and near the end of the day the winds started to stop........but, all i have to say is that i really want to go again sometime....

my refrigerator at my apartment in irvine is extremely old,and it started stinkin' really really bad!..once you open the fridge door, theres this dreadful stench that just comes out and stinks up the whole kitchen...i cleaned it out yesterday and the thing that made it stink really really bad was this piece of meat that was rotting green....wasnt mine!, i eat all of my food, thats for sure......so i decided to go and replace it and went back home to get my dad's old fridge that works really well (at least better than the one we had). now at least i can keep food in the fridge now and stop going out and getting food and stuff.

the free career assessment online....here are my results.... The number on the right indicates your motivational level based on your MAPP™ results. 1 indicates a high motivational match where as 5 indicates your motivations are not likely to be a good match. Top Ten Vocational Areas Trade Management: plan, oversee craft activities 1 Handling: routine nonmachine tasks, basic work 1 Customer Services: clerical, duplicating, sending 1 Usher/Messenger Service: escort, assist, deliver 1 Routine Checking and Recording: processing totals 1 Beautician/Barber: cosmetic services, styling 1 Feeding/Offbearing: manual labor, machine-timed 1 Cooking and Related: plan, prepare, serve foods; timing 1 Signaling: alert observation; guide/warn public 1 Typing, Related Recording: routine data processing 1 I can be a beautician!..serving you some cosmetics and styling do's!...anyone want a haircut?...i wont charge that much....hehehehe. My narrative interpretation Raphael is most likely emotionally and sentimentally attached to the familiar, thus typically prefers routine, organized, and methodical procedures in all life activities. This indicates a resistance to, and quite possibly negative feelings toward, sudden or unannounced major changes. This is true even if provided more time, or exposure to the possibility or need of the change, Raphael would accept or even desire such changes. When attachment to the familiar is strong, it is appropriately called the "homestead" trait, best described in the old cliche "Happiness is sleeping on your own pillow". Such routine activities can be mental, administrative, machine-paced, sensory/physical, etc. Raphael is empathetically and sympathetically aware of the hurts, needs, problems, and wishes of others and is motivated to help whenever possible. There is inclination and willingness to get personally involved in the personal lives of others in order to help with one's talents and resources. Although only moderately motivated in this social service trait, it is hard for Raphael to ignore or say "no" to anyone less fortunate. INTERESTING HUH?! |
