Don't Fret

This week for me has been a week of ups and downs a complete roller coaster ride well minus the roller coaster. The last few months have brought so many changes in my life that it was quite hard to cope with the ups and downs... But in life we need to learn to roll with the punches something that despite all of my battles I have yet to accomplish. Having said that a very valuable lesson was learned this week and that is to always keep your head up and hope for he best. Life is not always going to bring us exactly what we want but we must always keep a positive outlook and that the lord that things are not worse then they are. Life never brings us more then we can handle it just likes to test us and see how much we can withstand before we break. I have seen lots in this world and my situation is not as dire as many as I have seen I have supportive friends and family always there to lend me a helping hand and you could never ask more then that. I especially have a wonderful mother who keeps me in check and always makes me see the light at the end of the tunnel thank you mom and love you!

Never Forget

Remember

9/11 A Day of Rememberance


Today people around the world remember the vicious attacks of 9/11. Despite your feelings for Americans today we stand with them in solidarity for the 2, 752 lives that were lost on the tragic day that planes struck the Twin Towers, The Pentagon, and a patch of land in Pennsylvania.
I think pretty much everyone can remember where they were and what they were doing during those moments when the TV showed a plane crashing into the first tower. I remember I was in Albuquerque, NM. I remember turning on my roommates small little TV to watch the today show a daily morning ritual when I caught the sight of the plane just having hit the tower. I was in disbelief this could not be real, this had to be some stunt, what movie was filming, I continued to get ready volume off, then it happened again, wait what, I don't get it volume up, and then the reporting flooded in, this was real this was more then real, sights of people falling out of the building what later became known as people jumping out of offices. I immediately thought of all those I knew in NYC my friend Michael and Andrea all of who worked very close to the towers, were they safe, is this for real. I head to the office and reality begins to sink in as everyone talks about the tragedy, all news station play the same story. I call my parents please call everyone parents see how they are, no response. The days goes on towers fall, Pentagon hit, plane crashes in Pennsylvania, cannot believe this, am numb, NYC is my home always has been always will be this is not real. 11:45 pm news from friends they are safe not home still walking but safe, relief, but still so many lost, the wreckage is hard to see, the firefighters, and police struggle to find survivors, its bleak, but life must go on.
Now eight years later I remember the victims, I remember this day, I grieve with those who lost loved one who will never forget this day, I remember and will never forget, but they will never be the same, this tragedy hunts them everyday, not sure if they will ever be the same, but on this day I stand with them and send my love. Today is very different from the day when the attacks came it is cold and windy, rainy, many clouds in the sky unlike that picture perfect day eight years ago, but at 12:20 EST when the last names were read and HERO was sung by the choir there was a pause in the wind, a clearing in the sky, and the ceremony concluded, those HEROS where there today, looking down at their loved ones saying "we remember" and we love you, and "we will never forget"
Never Forget Always Remember......

Social Network Sites

Hey everyone, all good over on my end of the world. But now with this new power of being able to blog when I want you all may just get tired of me. So I am at a cafe wiu my new iPhone blogging so perez Hilton of me hehehehhe! Anyway the topic I would like to discuss is social network sites like facebook and Twitter oh and let's not forget linked in all sites which allow me to keep up with my friends! I think that despite the fact that they no longer leave room for privacy they do open a world of opportunity to stay connected whether socially or to network for your career! I am loving the new wave of the future especially when that wave allows me to be able to reach out and connect with all the people I love everyday! So here is to social networking via the world wide web! I give it two tumbs up!
