Of Course I Hear Voices: I Own Parrots

This weekend was one for the books. I had moments of introspection, loneliness, happiness, pure anger, annoyance, creativity, frustration and tech savvyness. 1) The Loneliness led to intospection...which led to blogging Today's Lesson 2) Creativity and Frustration came out in Still Not Sleeping 3)Annoyance and Pure Anger was covered in Anger and Frustration ...and I'm not sure exactly what I am going to do about it. The person envoking this wrath is a friend of a friend, but he and his little entourage of friends are just plain rude. I'm hoping it won't continue to be an issue,but if it does I'm going to do. 4) Creativity alone created some great leaps forward with the novella. 5) Frustration, Annoyance, and Tech Savvyness are all part of this need to fix a laptop. For some reason it kept locking up on Saturday night (luckily this is not my laptop). Now all the laptops lag every now and then...I know part of my laptop's issue is it is on Vista, and I have an ol...

What I really want to write about is something that has evolved over the last week. A co-worker of mine was arrested. He is charged with some very shocking and inappropriate behavior. The whole thing is a mess, and even in just talking about it at work, I came across some very ignorant opinions of the situation. I most certainly have an option, but until all the facts are in, I’m going to just leave it at this: The young man in question obviously has some issues based on the facts we DO know from that Target surveillance tapes, and I pray for his sake and for the sake of that little girl the allegations are not true. Once again though, it isn’t fair to either party to assume or judge just yet. Until then, I will have my thoughts and opinions, but I’m not going to post on the subject. Please be respectful of my stance on this, and if you do blog on it, please be respectful of all parties involved. The good news is Redgage is back up. I am hoping to get quite a few new blogs up there fo...

Thank God it is Friday!!! I know I keep promising a Red Gage update...and tonight it will happen. I have lots of great things to post there, but the site is in Beta. That means it isn't always working right. I am hopeful we have all the bugs worked out soon. I've made this all so great decision to start a week in review blog on Common Sense Police. I kept coming up with these "ideas" for blogs that just were too short to dedicate to a single blog. Instead of wasting these little gems, I am going to start compling them into one big blog on Fridays. The First one is admittedly a bit lame...but give me some time to hone and perfect them. You can see the first stab here: 9/15 A Week in Review . I'm also apparently back in favor with the Culturefeast editor (lol I'm so kidding I was never out of favor. He just had several more timely political blogs to get in. I totally understand!) So you can read more about the parent's house fire here. By the time the weeked...

Today brings us a few new blog sightings! First a look at call center short comings at the Common Sense Police Next we have some Political Rantings (of course all bipartisan ranting...I refuse to party bash) and DVR talk over on CultureFeast: How DiD I live Before My DVR Why I don't talk about Politics More updates are forthcoming...I'm hoping to get a new post or two on Red Gage but until then Check out my exisiting Red Gage Pictures and Blogs Here!

On Monday, I had a less than plesant encounter with a rude and irate woman. She called my number to find out about her Distance Ed test. However, I do not handle distance ed testing. She went on an obscenity laced tirade about how I was lazy and bad at my job. 1) I do not work for Distance Ed Testing 2) I do not have access to the Distance Ed files because they are on the Academic Server and I work for academic advising. 3) If she wants to know when a test is due,it will be in her sylibus. 4) Yeah I feel bad that no one answered the phone up there, but I am pretty sure the hours are listed on the voice mail. 5) Oh yes cussing at me is so going to help. I'm going to most likely hang up on you after i copy your number and give it to my supervisor to issue a complaint against you. Check out more on this story here. Ughh...people kill me sometimes!

Time to get back on track at Common Sense Police And Get the whole Chloe Story on Redgage

Some food for thought: What would happen if people stop expecting the world to do them favors, figured out life wasn't fair, and took personal responisblity for their actions? What do you think would happen?

Many of you know I adapoted a parakeet over the weekend. Of course I blogged about it! Click Here for the whole story! Also, I'm having some issues uploading to Red Gage, so I didn't get to post a new blog there last night. Hopefully I'll get that fixed.

Well it has been busy around these parts. but I'm glad to say things are going well. Right now I have my rant blog and my other stuff and photo blog: Fun Stuff Rant Blog I try to write on both each day...so I'm getting my therapy and I'm talking about positive things too. I've started working on thngs for EHow again, and I will hopefully have a new round of articles for Associated Content coming up soon as well.I will of course have links! In other news I adopted another parakeet this weekend. Her name is Chloe, and despite her awful situation she is adapting well to her new life. Now we just need to get the boys to warm to her!

Check out my new blogpost on workday stress here . There will be plenty more new developments soon. I am excited to see all of the progress! The p3 productions site is up and running, and I have many other projects that should be ready soon! A full blog should is forthcoming!

Yes it has bee a while since I've been around. Mainly it has been because I have been working so much. In the past month, I have celebrated my 29th birthday, fallen head first into fall registration, and taken on several new projects. 1) I have a new novella in the works 2) I have new posts at www.culturefeast.com 3) There is a new Rain Tiger Feature up at www.raintiger.com 4) Don't forget about commonsensepolice.today.com 5) My newest creation that is still in progress: www.djp3productions.com Check these out, and I promise to be back with much more soon!

The new specs and guidelines for websites has been finished. Check out the link on here for more details. An updated online portfolio is on it's way along with additional freelance contract info. With any luck I should have press kits available soon!

Another year down! As of 5:30 am I will officially be 29.  This is a very scary thing! As I become a year older, I have been really thinking about things an taking stock of my life. Of course there is good and bad....the question is:Is there balance and what am I focusing on? Lets get the Cons out of the way first (I want to end with the happy) 1) I'm still single 2) My full time job is reaching burnout stage 3) I"m not a full time writer 4) I'm still overweight 5) Some days I just really hate me 6) I just realized I have no one to go watch the new X-FIles movie with next weekend Pros: 1) I'm single..but happy...yeah it sucks from time to time. I would love to have someone else help paying the bills and to come home to. However, I know what I want and while I'm not sure if I will find it...or  if I will be good enough for it when I do I'm still trying 2) I have awesome friends. That statement speaks volumes. for some reason, they seem to like me for me 3) I hav...

I’ve been looking for a slightly bigger and nicer cage for Beaker and Batty. Their cage is adequate, but I was thinking about finding them something just a little more like Popcorn and Skye’s cage. I looked around at pet stores, and I found many cages in my price range (around $200), but none of them really did anything for me. I need something that will still easily fit in my car, and not be to heavy or awkward to carry. Yes, I know cages are expensive, that wasn’t my issue. The cages I liked were too big or bulky. I can’t get Popcorn and Skye’s cage in the front seat. Even in the back seat, I can’t get the cage seat belted in. I needed a cage that would still be car safe for road trips or when all four of them go to the vet. After the pet stores let me down, I looked on Craigslist.org. Maybe I would have better luck there. I didn’t and instead I was just appalled by some of the things I read on there. Yes there were many people who had found stray or lost pets, or had to give up the...
