Let Me Bring You Up To Speed. I Know Nothing.

Since not all of my friends are also attached to belmikey, I post this, since I know it spread like wildfire, y'all. I took down the log in information and ask that you do too, if you posted it in your journal.

DON'T DO THIS MEME ANYMORE. PLEASE TELL ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO DID IT TO TAKE IT DOWN AND NOT KEEP THE LOG IN INFORMATION IN THEIR JOURNAL. MORE ABOUT THIS IN belmikey's MOST RECENT POST

Danke.

But I just have to say, it is NOT out of the ordinary for career sites to have usernames and passwords like this that are legit and on the up and up. I can't tell you how many I have from the IC and Elmira career services offices. So like, take it easy lambasting people who were "so stupid to not see it was pirating."

I can't stop looking at that picture of Paris Hilton bawling her fool, vapid, irrelevant, ridiculous head off because it makes me

so. incredibly. happy.

Here is the road I am on right now. I have decided I loathe and detest a regular work situation. By that I mean getting up, coming here, doing this, going home. I don't necessarily dislike what I'm doing, but it's not my life's work. Not my passion. And quite frankly, I think that dealing with the people I do is starting to get to me. Our justice system is getting to me. This department is getting to me.

Anyway long story short, I want to start my personal training business at some point, and see if I can someday move from it being an extra-curricular to maybe going half time here, to maybe someday never having to come here again. Not right this minute of course, but I want to start taking steps toward it.

I would primarily like to work with overweight individuals and people with health challenges.

What do you think I should call the business? I am not good at coming up with such things.

EDIT!!! What should I take into consideration or ask myself when trying to come up with a name?

What kind of words, images, messages, trainer would you feel drawn to? Inspire you? What would make you want to work out with me?

This is absolutely all my brain can handle right this minute.

1. If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want -- good or bad. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people remember about you.

2. We all have things about our friends that make us slightly envious. Not in a bad way, but in a 'Wow! I wish I had that person's hair/eyes/money/relationship/toenails/what ever.' So tell me what about me makes you envy me . . . then post this in your LJ and see what makes me envious of you.

So if you want to go and get this message, and are willing to come to Trumansburg to pick it up, call me at 387-5452. First one who calls, wins.

I feel like shit on a shingle.

Which name is more appealing to you?

This is what happens to me when Eva is mad at me:



Not entirely ALL her fault - apparently, I left them where she could get them. That's the most popular theory out there right now. MY theory is that it wouldn't matter WHERE I put them, because she can access ANY POINT IN OUR HOUSE, no matter what the challenge, no matter what the height or obstacle she has to face, with a McGuyver-esque ease and cleverness that, it must be said, frightens me a skosh.

So I beat ass to Walmart this morning to get some sort of remedy and you just HAD to see me driving into town with the broken glasses teetering on my nose, stuck together with some scotch tape. The only frames they had that my current lenses would fit into immediately are these bright red cat-woman glasses that I'm working right now as I type this. I ordered a different pair that simply CANNOT get here fast enough.

Carry on.

I saw someone do this and I thought it looked like fun...

If you are reading this, leave me a comment, even just one word will do. It's my LJ Roll Call.

modernarchetype!! Did you see one of the communities being highlighted by LJ right now?! How funny!!

Ripped from just about everybody....

Ask a question about each of the following:

1. Friends
2. Sex
3. Music
4. Drugs
5. Love
6. LiveJournal
7. Other (open ended)

Ask away.
Then post this in your journal and see what questions you get asked!

Is anyone else having that issue where you aren't receiving comments in your email? I just went back to some posts and saw comments I hadn't gotten.

I hate that.

Ithaca Peeps?

I need someone to come and give me estimates for cabinets and countertops. Well, estimates for a bazillion things but there are two companies I am trying to locate. I have seen their ads on TV but of course now that I need the info I haven't seen the ads on in days. One is in Groton, I think. The other is a company that I love strictly based on the fact that they mock the Crown Construction "we'll knock your socks off" ad by saying at the end of it, "we'll even let you keep your socks."

Any of this ringing a bell? Or anyone have recommendations for companies you have worked with successfully?

EDIT: I did NOT mean to say I thought this was the gospel. I mean to say, there is not enough emphasis on this particular topic, and if you find one of the 10 that speaks to you that you know you'd like to focus on, then it was worth posting this.

Ok, Ok I admit it. I'm a big fan of Turbo Jam. The creator, Chalene Johnson, is actually not an idiot. She has written an article about creating homes that promote a HEALTHY BODY IMAGE IN KIDS. This is not an article about fixing bad body image, it's how to support and facilitate a healthy one from the very beginning. This is an issue that is VERY important to me and near and dear to my heart. You can find the entire article here: http://syndicated.livejournal.com/turbo_jam/1410.html

...or....I've put the 10 main bullet points under the cut:

( 10 Tips For a Healthy Body Image for Kids )

Remember the other day when I told you about the couple who I thought was perfect but the woman ended up having an affair with another woman and the guy kicked her out and divorced her?

Well, I just learned, over penne a la vodka at the Lost Dog, that the ex-wife's female partner COMMITED SUICIDE the other day.

Drove herself to a hotel and did herself in.

Ouch.

That is so totally bizarre that I was JUST thinking about them that day after not seeing them or talking to them in like years. And then this. How odd.

It's just too wierd how my friend's list intersects and crosses over itself sometimes. And it's usually related to modernarchetype, who should read the most recent post of rwarner. Come to think of it, so should mcbarnes1970.

Hey queenmabwords - there was a treadmill in the paper last night in the classifieds for $100. Don't know if you found the free one or what your friend's budget is, but thought I'd mention it.

Hey Gang! Meet my friend sweetbabyjames2. He's an interesting fellow. He's got a harem of married women on his list, and is looking for an infusion of testosterone, so he's asked to be pimped out. I suspect he is sick of either A. being lectured and mothered to death and/or B. Sick of a bunch of married women telling him he's so cute and wonderful, knowing full well that those comments are dead ends. I SO enjoy being a pimp, you have no idea.

Sweet is funny and quirky and is worth a look. As he said, he doesn't post or comment often, but he's working on it, and when he does, it is so worth it. I agree!

Even though he has specifically requested friends of a male persuasion, I encourage all of the Fabulous Females on my list to check him out as well. He sometimes loses his way and has no clue how to be socially appropriate whatsoever (and I say that with LOVE) and when those times come, he asks quite sincerely for honest feedback and it seems, really listens. He needs you Women.

Taking a cue from modernarchetype, I have forgotten my cell phone at home today. Naked I feel. Prize goes to the person who leaves the funniest or most creative message! 607-592-3510.

In other news, I haven't stepped foot onto LJ in days. And, I really need to do some paring down of the old friends list. Today, I will read the most recent 2 or 3 posts of everyone's in the spirit of trying to catch up with everyone!

This message brought to you by your Friendly Neighborhood Probation Officer....

As the nice weather and longer days are upon us, and people begin to actually come out of their houses and do fun things and go fun places, please remember to be safe. To that end, please consider the following, in regards to the safety of your children:


Don't use any personalized items with their names on it. T-shirts, bags, hats, beach towels...anything that allows strangers to see what their names are. It's easy enough to lure a small child away, it's even easier when the person can use their name, thereby making the child think they know them and are safe to go with. Even if you've drilled "don't go with strangers" into your child's head, if they hear their name, they aren't thinking stranger.



In other news, the protesters were out in front of Planned Parenthood again this morning when I drove to work. I don't know why I find that odd, but I do.
