30 Days Of Truth – Day 14: A Hero That Has Let You Down

February 16, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Wow this is an interesting question, I don’t really feel I have any kind of ‘Hero’ that I ever looked up to. So I really can’t say any hero let me down. Yeah I have had people let me down tremendously in my life, but none that I would put on a pedestal as to be called a ‘Hero’. There are people that I have looked up to, but never to that extent.

If I had to really pick a hero, it would of been my mother (God rest her soul), my mother was a wonderful person, very loving and affectionate, she was the heart of the family. After she passed away, the family fell apart, things were never the same. It saddens me to think of that, but it’s true. She was everything to everyone, we idolised her so much. Gosh I really miss her *sad moment* yeah, that would be my answer there.

So really in the end, I didn’t really have a Hero that has let me down.

You Don’t Need A Man Or Woman!!

February 14, 2012 By 1 Comment

Happy Valentine’s Day! That’s right it’s a Valentine’s Day post. But more importantly are those 6-7 words in my title! You really don’t need to have a man or a woman in your life, to have a great Valentine’s day. There are so many ways to spread love, with friends, other family members, and yes even strangers!! A random act of kindness goes a long way. You can do some blog hopping, and stumble upon someones blog and leave them a super cool comment, that will make their day. You may not know if you did, but what if you did? Wouldn’t that be amazing? A good feeling I would think. If someones blog is one of those ‘I hate Valentine’s Day’, ‘It just another day’, ‘We don’t celebrate it’, ‘I am single today’, etc. Well maybe a nice comment can make that person feel a lot better. I hope to spread the love today :)

Moving along now. Did you happen to see Google’s logo, the adorable Valentine’s Day animation, it’s darling! I absolutely loved it. Imagine putting a smile on someone’s face, not because you give them all kinds of gifts, but just because you share in something they like. Wow who would of thought?

I joined that website Screenr, and when Google posts those cute animations, I can’t help but record them. It’s really nice to see what has happened during the year. I just started doing it, but I usually just record the animated ones. It can actually be used for all types of things, I don’t think it records very long, but enough to show say a tutorial of something. Just thought I would share.

So what am I getting William for Valentine’s Day, well I am getting him a really nice watch, he needed another one, he seems to go through them so quickly fast! I hope he likes it, the problem is, that it’s not arriving until after Valentine’s Day, but I got him another little goody to hold him over. Hopefully it comes by end of week. I know I should of done this earlier, and I should of, oh lazy me boo on me lol. For Valentine’s Day he got me my new phone, it’s an amazing electronic device, I love it to bits. I got the new Samsung Nexus, it’s just to awesome. I am so very happy to have got rid of the Blackberry, it was so ancient. I can’t believe how fast that faded out. Hope the Nexus doesn’t. But I’m a happy camper!

Anyway that’s it for me, I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s with someone you care about, it could be anyone, even your dog or cat or even a fish :)

Doomsday Preppers – Should You Be Worried Too?

February 13, 2012 By Leave a Comment

The other day, we didn’t have much to watch on TV, so we decided to browse ONdemand (absolutely love this, we’re able to catch up with shows we may have missed) and see what shows are out there that we never seen. So one night we were looking through the networks, and stumbled on a TV show called Doomsday Preppers on the National Geographic channel. Who are they? What are they all about. Well long before we stumbled on this TV show, we had stumbled on a few others withe similar topics. I have to say, I didn’t really pay much attention, although it did spark an interest in both our minds. We got really curious.

As time passed, and we kept seeing more and more. So naturally we would watch this stuff. I don’t know for sure if anything will happen, there are people that have their predictions, and so forth. Does it worry me, sure it does. Why wouldn’t it. Hey I would want to be one of the ones that survive. I don’t know if I would go to the lengths of some of these people, although on their defense I have to say it is a TV show, and it’s all entertainment right? Yeah? Probably? Could be. Watch this video of one prepper, and what he has done to help himself get prepared.

I personally feel, if this was on the level, any truth to it, why in heavens would they show their faces on TV, the one place that thousands of people can see them, identify them? Does that even make sense?

If I was a true doomsday prepper, I would NOT be telling anyone about what I am doing. I wouldn’t be that stupid to put a big fat red target on my ass or my boyfriends for that matter. It would be something kept between myself and those few I decide to tell. I can just see our home being raided by people that are hungry, because we were foolish enough to go on TV and talk about it.

So you see, everything (almost everything) we see on TV about this, is for entertainment purposes. What else would it be? Could it be someone warning us? Giving us some information to ponder? That is really up to you. Now there are people that are worried about the economy, and go to lengths to store extra food for themselves in the event that there was an economic collapse and the store shelves emptying out in a matter of hours. Would this really happen? Anything is possible. Would you want to be prepared? I’m still curious, and I’ll probably continue watching the shows, and who knows, maybe I’ll start prepping myself.
