Have you ever clicked on a "Goodbye JU" article, and it was from someone you didn't even know blogged here? I did, today. She (I think) said that she had been here for awhile, and she was going somewhere else because "All there is to it is a bunch of overly sensitive people who need to get a life." Hmmmm.... I find it very offending when a teenager (again I am assuming this after shuffling through her old articles) tells mature (in most cases) people that they need to get a life. Per...
There have been quite a few incidents in the news lately that deal with celebrities, and the police. Here are a few instance: earlier this month, Lost star, Michelle Rodriguez became verbally abusive when police tried to arrest her for drunk driving, Kate Moss was video-taped doing drugs, and police got ahold of the tape, Brad Renfro was arrested after trying to buy heroin from an undercover cop, and then I heard something on the radio (though I can't find anything about it on internet new...
I have little quirks. Everyone does. And though mine aren't all that unusual, they are sometimes funny, and for some odd reason, I feel like sharing some of them. (The ones that I am aware of.) 1- If I have a plate of food, say carrots, mashed potatoes, and fried chicken, I can only have small portions. Why? Because none of my food can touch another type of food. So of the chicken ends up with a little bit of mashed potatoes on them, I wont eat it. I have heard that this is a tendanc...
Friday morning (we're talking about early morning, as in around 1:30 AM) was a first (and hopefully a last) for me. I ran (or drove quickly) away from a Davis County Sheriff. I don't make it a habit of running from cops, especially Sheriffs, but this was the exception. Before you go and condemn me to whatever painful afterlife you believe in, let me explain. Thursday night around 11:00 PM, my boyfriend and I got into a dramatic, intense...shall we say...discussion. Since we were bot...
My brother has decided that he is going to join the Army. My brother is 17, hates authority, and doesn't have a clue to what real-life is like. What 17-year-old does? He spends his days playing computer games that supposedly imitate real-life battles, but despite the gore, there is no reality in them because he is safe in a chair, not out where it's really life or death. While I appreciate our troops, I am scared to death for my brother. Though I know it's selfish of me, I am glad that...
Hello all... I find that when I comment occasionally, I get "miss you's," which do make me feel good, but guilty at the same time. I don't frequent JU as much as I used to, but I do get around to some of my favorite bloggers, and keep up on your lives. I am able to get on a bit more now than I have been able to the past few months because I started a new job on Nov. 28th, so I now have constant (almost) access to the internet. During the summer (and half of fall) stay with my da...
Pretty much anyone that is associated with Mormons (here in Utah, that would be everyone) has heard of the acronym CTR. CTR stands for Choose the Right, which is sort of a... (for lack of a better word) motto for the Mormon church. It is inscribed on their rings, on their posters, and on their bumper stickers. The ironic thing is that today I was in near accidents with two of these cars that had CTR on them. The first was when I was cut off by a women in a huge SUV. As she turned i...
In an article that I wrote about working in an accounting office, I had 43 referrals. I found that kind of odd, after all an accounting office isn't the most interesting thing that was ever written about, and lo-and-behold, I find that most of those referrals were from poker sites. Nowhere in the article does it mention anything about poker. I find that incredibly odd. Let's do a little test... let's see how many referrals I get from search sites with terms like... "The sins of poker...
(For some reason the last article I wrote is in the forums, but nowhere else. I am assuming this has something to do with the new way JU is now, so I will just repost...) I by no definition of any kind am a critic of movies. I only have my opinion, so consider yourself forewarned. I went to see Crash last night. It was by far the best movie I have seen in a long time. The storyline is intense, and honest. The movie deals with racism, and I really cannot come up with workds to descr...
I by no definition of any kind am a critic of movies. I only have my opinion, so consider yourself forewarned. I went to see Crash last night. It was by far the best movie I have seen in a long time. The storyline is intense, and honest. The movie deals with racism, and I really cannot come up with workds to describe the feeling that comes into the theater while you are watching this movie. The best word I can coem up with is realization. The movie is the extreme of what is said and...
On my last article about working at a CPA office, I had 5 replies, some of which were my own. That is the new norm for me, because of my lack of.... dailly blogging. The odd thing is that 746 people clicked on that article. Yes, I realize that some were reclicking, for whatever reason, but all the same, out of approx 746 people, I had less than 5 replies. I do the same thing. When I first log on to JU, I often just read through the new posts, or recent replies, and browse some of my fa...
I am now truly insane. I am also on a (in my mind) a well deserved break. If I have to answer one more phone call about whether the 8879 E-Filing Form is only for Federal, or if it is for both state and federal, I am going to scream. If I have to file one more three-inch thich file, I am going to cry. If I have to copy one more return, or show one more person where to sign, I am going to quit. Of course, I know none of that is logical, not only because there is still one and a half da...
I'm writing for me. That's all I have to remember. It's spring, and I am happy. Extremely tired from working all day, everyday for the past few weeks, but happy. I have one comment about working for a CPA office: tax season is insane. There is less than two months until I go to Thailand. I am insanely happy, despite the fact the tickets were over a thousand dollars. I hope the trip is worth it. I am also nervous about meeting Jack's family. I have studied up on Thai customs, an...
Newdow is now trying to stop the prayer for the inaugeration. I've had it with all these self-rightous Anti-theists. You know what, you claim that we are pushing our Christian beliefs on you. Here's a little common sense... DON'T LISTEN, AND AVOID THE SITUATION!! I don't agree with the act of prostitution, so I avoid that type of situation, I don't try to stop it, even though it is something that probably should be discontinued. So, dear Anit-theist, get over yourself, and stop ...
According to Yahoo Reuters, Brazil refuses to require English as a priority for graduating diplomats. Link Foreign Minister Celso Amorim, who has given Brazil a much louder voice in the world, said dropping the English requirement was intended to make entry to diplomat school more "democratic." "We can't allow that somebody doesn't pass the test just because they didn't study or live abroad," Amorim was quoted as saying. Of course, you can always pass a test by NOT studying, rig...
