What's the rush?

I have noticed that there seems to be a quickly growing trend of people that lose patience quite easier and are in such a rush. A rush to work, a rush to school, a rush to the movies, a rush in relationships, and rushing just overall in life.

I think that it is easy to lose focus and not stop to slow down and smell the roses. Although we are all busy, it is only takes a few minutes to slow down and enjoy your surroundings.

I have several personal challenges health-wise that keep me home bound as you may or may not know already from viewing my other blogs. I have been forced to slow down whether I wanted to or not, as I had no choice but to slow down. I am a multitasking type of person and I still use this tool. However, I have learned that I need to do one thing at a time, and I have noticed that I manage to get more done, have little or no errors in my work, and I am able to obtain more work.

I have noticed that I have been seeing such a rush in the dating scene, and seeing that so many do not take the time to savor the specialness of a long term relationship. Enjoying each other's company through conversation and genuine interest. When things are rushed it makes everything more difficult and if each person slowed down then there would be a better change for the relationship to grow. This can be applied to almost any relationship.

I have managed to do some soul searching over the last few years and I have noticed that I have grown so much in my life. I tap into my common sense on a 24/7 basis and have noticed that life has been so much better. I can recognize time-wasters and easily move on to something better.

Some pointers in trying to live life to the fullest:

1. Slow down! Take a few minutes to an hour out of the day to just relax, just be. You will find that you will be more at ease, and regain focus.

2. Find a hobby. Search for a hobby that you enjoy doing and brings you joy. I have always loved to write and it has helped me to get all of my emotions on paper, cope with challenging issues, and feel free after expressing myself.

3. Spend time with a friend or family member. Relationships with others are important as they provide a social interaction. I do have a hard time with meeting others in person due to the challenges I have however I have been going out to workout several times a week so this allows me to be social with others quite easily.

4. Take a technology time off! What this means is taking time off from the computer, from your cell phone, or television. This will help you to unplug and do something else that is relaxing such going for a walk or reading a book.

Suspected Car Thief Left Oil Trail For Police

Another dumb criminal who definitely did not think before he acted.
This criminal in Sacramento, CA made a blunder by leading the police
straight to his front door by leaving a trail of engine oil fluid. I
guess you could say that the police had quite an easy time trying to
find him. He stole a car and it sounded like he had stolen parts out of
the car and took off with the oil soaked items. The criminal said he
does not steal cars, well he did steal the car and the parts to go with
it that is for sure.

Alec Baldwin=Diarrhea of the Mouth

I watched some of that interview of Alec Baldwin on 60 Minutes and at times I think that he has diarrhea of the mouth and has to learn how to be shut up and not respond to everything single thing. He talks about running as a candidate however I believe that he has way to many skeletons in his closet, that he will not get very far in any political race he is thinking of running for.

The things that he said to his daughter still rings loud in my mind and that is not someone I want to be running any part of the government. I think it is best for him to stick to acting as he is good at that. At least...

Britney Spears another car crash accident?

I really believe that some people should not be behind the wheel at all. I think that she should take her driving test all over again. Yes the written AND the manual driving part too. She has had so many accidents over the last few years.

Well it seems that this time she was starting to move off in stationary traffic while the light was still red and ran into a Red Ford Explorer in front. So anyway all I can do is hope that she will be more careful in the future.

Man Gets Caught Stealing at Police Auction

I absolutely could not believe what I read today. A man allegedly stole from a police auction, and the police caught him in the act. I mean of all places to steal from, a police auction. I just thought that this guy is very stupid and silly. I was wondering if he thought that he would not be caught perhaps? Anyway he was caught stealing a screwdriver set from inside one of the vehicles that was for sale. When the officers searched him they also a gold colored bracelet in his pocket that he had also had taken from the sale.

So I think that man may have wanted to get caught perhaps?

Who knows but the common sense in me says that he should just fought the urge to not shoplift ever and if he truly has a problem then go get some legitimate help and counseling.

Craigslist's Missed Connections = Possible Stalkers?

I have been visiting Craigslist in looking for freelance writing gigs and through browsing I came across a section on Craigslist called Missed Connections. The section for men that have spotted women is much longer than the section of women searching for men, now isn't that a surprise?

Anyway a lot of them made me laugh and some of them were quite creepy to me as it is seems like some of the guys are watching the same woman over and over, talking about what she wore, and what she said to him or not say to him. Some were even specific as to what the person was doing at the time. I can't help but wonder why they did not take the chance to talk to the person at least.

Here some samples:

"You had a unique Louis Bag.
Great smile.
Amazing body.
Mail in your hand after you were at the teller.
If I didn't get that look back while you were
on the way out, I wouldn't be writing right now..."




"Asian woman with the magic eyes...... - m4w - 35

You saw me, I saw you. We stared into each others eyes from across the street. We did not look away and kept the gaze until we passed. Then we both looked back and you waved. How did you know I longed to stop in the middle of the street and kiss you until the cars blared on their horn? I know you knew. I have never been with an Asian woman, and obviously you thought i was as handsome as I thought you were beautiful. One night with me is all I ask. One night of blissful, secret, romantic passion. Can it be? could you find me?"



"I was doing some work on your block this morning and you walked past me while I was on my cell. I was toatally blown away by how beautiful you are. You came out of your house and moved your car. I wanted so much to say "Good Morning" but decided against it. Now I wish I had. I doubt you'll see this but if you do, tell me what kind of car you moved, color and model."

"Retreat on Sat 5/3 - Cute girl called Moon? - m4w - 23
Hi we were talking and dancing for a bit that night at this ghetto lounge Retreat, and I was going to get you drinks but then the bartender took too long, and somehow you left with your friends.

You had a twin sister who went to the same school as me.

Can't get you out of my mind! Hope you read this!"



Need I say more?!

Conn. boy wears Packers jersey for 1,581 days!

Phew! I can only imagine how stingy that jersey must have been! David Witthoft, 12 years old from Ridgefield, Conn finally took off his Brett Favre jersey for a red shirt for the first time in 1,581 days. He has worn it everyday for the last 4 and half years. He received it as a gift for Christmas in 2003. Talk about really loving the present that he received.

However, I found out that his mother watched the jersey every other day and mended it when needed.

In reality world, I do not think that my parents would allow for anything like that occur. I would be FORCED to change my clothes whether I wanted to do or not. I think if I was his mom, the shirt would end up mysteriously missing in order to get him to wear something else for a change.

I am surprised that his parents allowed this and I wonder if this boy gets to go outside and be active on a regular basis? Although this is of course a publicity stunt for attention, I must say that this is one of the oddest news that I have heard in awhile.
