Cured of Insomnia

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 14:26:21 GMT

Ok, well it wasn't Insomnia.. it was an extremely bad habit. I've always been a night owl. But recently I wouldn't go to bed until I seen the sun rise.. I could be exhausted and still stay up. I had a lot on my mind.. including some worries.

The only good thing that came out of this was my collection of sun rise pictures lol

Two of my favs:

Last night I cured myself. Instead of just staying up when my body told me it was tired.. I went to bed at 9pm! and woke up and 9am! I usually go to bed at 6-7am and wake up at 3-4.. I liked waking up and seeing my little sister watching cartoons, eating breakfast with everyone and not sleeping most of my day away.

It was nice..

This site actually gave me some info on different types of sleep disorders and some tips on how to get to sleep Link

Heat | Hancock

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 18:24:28 GMT

Today was so hot! I was roasting in the car... *pulls out recorder* "note to self.. never wear black on days like this..

Its cooled off now.. so i'm relaxin' outside on the back deck.... I never came out here before with the laptop.. its nice.. I should do it more often

heres my view:

Seen Hancock today! I was getting mixed reviews on it. Some people said it was good.. someone said if you've seen the previews you seen the movie.. blah blah.. Well that wasn't true because there were other funny things they could have put in the previews. Hancock is a great movie, not a waste of money and had a good story. I am a big Will Smith fan.. but if he made a crappy movie.. I would have no problem saying so lol

I also want to see this movie.. looks so funny.

and it comes out on my birthday!

anyway.. Hope everyone had a nice sweaty day!!

I want the Lomme bed

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 06:00:35 GMT

The Lomme (Light Over Matter Mind Evolution) bed is suppose to give you a good nights rest with the help of its many features..

Light Therapy

"This light colour therapy is known to enhance the body's energy centres and can even stimulate the healing process."

Another feature with the light therapy is that it has a light alarm clock..

Sound Therapy

The shape of the bed seals in the music and helps block out outside noises. "An iPod has been invisibly installed to enable the sleeper to listen to relaxing music, sounds and guided meditations." You can also choose what songs to wake and fall asleep to. If you want more info on the bed just go here

I'm falling in love with this bed .. especially because i've been having trouble sleeping. It doesn't seem real like its something you'd see in movies or read in a book. Obviously there's no way i'm getting this bed.. but I can always dream..(in my crappy bed). Just looking at it you know its going to be expensive. The price is EUR $42,000.. so.. CAD = 66,938.03 & USD = 65,924.85

I'm wondering though.. after years of having this bed.. would your body get use to its features?

I got Karate Chopped at a BBQ

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 04:35:59 GMT

Yes, I was Karate chopped at a family BBQ. Who did it? my 15 year old cousin.. I KNOW!! Do not let the age fool you.. He's taller & bigger then me.

When we first started play fighting.. I could take him. Now he's a giant.. and not a gentle one at that. At the bbq we were play fighting.. he softly tapped me in the throat and ran away. I snuck up behind him and tried to get him.. but failed miserably, he seen me and started to run.. I got a little soft tap but barely. I eventually gave up and started talking to someone, when out of nowhere..he chopped me.. hard.

Before we were playing around.. but this time.. I wanted to kill that little @$#%&!! He hit me so hard it sounded like my voice changed. I chased him for a bit.. but then I thought.. "if I catch up to him, what am I gunna do? i'm not really going to kill him.." My throat felt fine.. so I gave up...

Later on that night my throat felt like I swallowed a golf ball. Now it feels really weird to swallow, feels soar & like there is something in there...

I'm not going to my doctor yet because I mean.. it was embarrassing enough to tell you guys that a 15 year old chopped me in the throat lol If it still feels the same after two weeks i'll go..

Has anyone had any throat injuries before? should I be worried?

Fathers dont realize how important they are in a child's life

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 03:44:05 GMT

Boys need their father to teach them how to be a man & how to treat women. Girls need their father to be the man in their lives and to tell them they're beautiful. My mother worked her ass off trying to be both, and I'm so thankful she tried, but there is no way she could be. A year ago I spent a week with my father... I let everything out, I told him how I felt and what it was like living without him. I cried so hard and he just held me close. I loved it, I didn't want him to let me go. This is what the hell i've been missing a nice big, warm hug from my father. I spent most of my childhood saying how much I didn't need him and how happy I was just being with my mother. But all that went away after that week. I will say i'm happy he isn't with my mother anymore, because as sweet and gentle as he is.. he's selfish and needs to grow up.

-If your a single mother, don't talk bad to or in front of your children about their father. My mother never said anything bad about him to me, she never told me why she left him until I was old enough to know. Kids don't need that stuff in their heads.

-If your a father but your not with your kids mother anymore, Just be there for them, no matter what.

-For the fathers that are doing their jobs... *claps*

So..Tired.. BUT!

I didn't go to sleep last night..

I had so much to do today.. but fell asleep at around 12 and woke up to.. "this is just sad" at around four. At 8:30 my mother tricked me into going to "fun" night at her conference..

It was cool..Africa Musica was playing. The people looked like they were having loads of fun.. especially this guy..

Later he ripped the table cloth of the table and did like a bull fighter dance lol

LIFE FOR SALE

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 15:42:40 GMT

When Ian Usher's partner of 12 years left him broken-hearted, he decided the best way to move forward was to auction his whole life, in one job lot.

From Sunday, June 22 for one week, Usher's life is up for sale on eBay with the package including his $420,000 (US$397,000) three-bedroom house in Perth, Western Australia, a trial for his job at a rug store, his car, motorbike, clothes and even friends. more..

When I first read this, I thought.. "What is the world coming to?.. this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard..." I thought.."suck it up and move on..."

But if you think about it.. people do this all the time, he's just selling his life to get money for a new one. If you've gone through something and wish to start over.. you separate yourself from your old life (including your friends) and start a new. Selling his life isn't such a bad idea, it would be a bad idea to buy it though. What if his house wasn't all that nice, who really wants a job at a rug store? and what if his car & motorbike aren't in great shape?

What do you think?

I'm smart, your dumb, I'm big, your small, i'm right..

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 03:36:41 GMT

When you see people acting foolish. Do you correct them?

I'm tired of hearing its not my place. I've seen a lot of parents/grown ups make a lot of mistakes, and thats ok, i'm sure i'll make a lot as well. I'm talking about.. when they do something you know is wrong but they play the "i'm the parent" card or say "i've been on this earth longer then you". The movie Matilda is the perfect example.

"i'm smart, your dumb, I'm big, your small, i'm right, your wrong.. and there's nothing you can do about it"

Only in movies can you teach your father and your principle a lesson.

Do I have to wait to be a certain age? Would it be so wrong for me to speak my mind? I don't mean give them a big reality slap in the face.. I mean give my honest opinion. Would that be wrong? and whose place is it to correct them?

Did this happen to everyone or just me
