hey there everyone...I hope you all had a great week and it finished out okay for you....I'm sorry for the long gap inbetween my last one and this one...everything just kind of got away from me, and I had my time at the resort come and go tooo fast....I just got back earlier today, and I have a ton of pics to share....I can't wait to get them all on here finally to sort them out and tell what they are....It was a great great time...I didn't miss being here at all, but just the thought of still being on this revolting island still depressed me even though I was away.....about 20 min away not 2 hours like I thought....Anyways, last week sometime I woke up and had completely **HAD IT** with this place....I just had something snap inside me that hadn't snapped in a long time, several years I think......No matter who I tell or who I talk to about how I can't stand it here, I always get the same responce cause they are bored with hearing it from me...."yah we've all heard it a million times before....." How much I can't stand it here, and can't wait to leave next year..... how I was meant to be traveling since that is what I went into for my life long career, not being cemented in one dumpy place on this island for the rest of eternity...how I'm not supposed to be here with a bunch of other boring people who don't know any other places in the world exsist besides this one boring scalding hot island....etc...etc....I was sick of getting snapped at and being told they have heard it all before, it was nothing new, and not sure what else....so...I'm not sure what got into me but when I got time to myself, I went to travel agency, and started planning for trip to Australia next year in 2010 before I leave here...so there. there is something no one else has heard before....I'm only telling my friends right now, cause I haven't said a single word to my family or anyone else back home about it...I think I will tell them like a month before I"m supposed to fly out and let them be freaking out about it the whole time I'm gone from here....sorry I just couldn't take it here anymore, and didn't wanna wait until I leave before the holidays next year to fly out to who knows where next from here...yes it's driving me crazy toooo just like it is everyone else where I"m going next from here...I"m tooooo excited....I'll be in Sydney mostly....I just go from one big city to another...I don't have any idea what on earth I"m supposed to do in some small town. so now I"m tooo excited, and have something else to look forward to besides counting down each and everyday here, and looking forward to leave....I'll be going somewhere**on my own** (well with group actually, cause I"m terrible at trying to find my way around another country) but without anyone else with me every minute from here....So it pays off not doing the 500 things things that they have going on around here each month....yes I"m being honest, they announced it was over 500 events going on around here each and every month, and of course I care nothing for not even one of them...this isn't the only place on the planet earth...I don't understand why anyone else who comes here can't see that as well.....okay whatever then... I'm too much into doing what I want still I don't care where I'm at...and besides I seriously need a break from this place...I'm not an island person at all...there is no where to go here unless u fly out somewhere else, so that is what I'm going to do...anyone who wants to meet me there, feel free too...I will show u what it's like to have a blast when u are with me away from everything and everyone u know or who recognizes you.....so I can't stop feeling all jumpy inside now cause I have Australia to look forward to now....it's soooooooooooooo hard not talking about it constantly here, but I don't want anyone else to know that until I come back from it completely...I can't stand the jealous attitude towards me....I can do that sort of thing...just pack my bags and leave...I decided that lifestyle when I was like 12 I didn't just come up with that idea....others however have obligations which don't allow them to do that sort of thing, so of course I"m hated for it because I can do it....anyways....so guess I';ll be going on about Australia for the next 10 months or so until I leave for it....I can't talk about it here with anyone cause the entire base here would find out, and I don't want them to know my business....If I wanted that to happen, I would have become famous and had my life story printed in magazines...I don't want that, so I'm not saying a word..nothing until I get back, and it's driving me insane cause I can never stop talking....guess I will just let it out on here so hope everyone is interested in my long-winded yapping sessions.....Anyways, I had a fabulous time at the resort I went to....it just went toooo fast in my opinion as always....now another work week againnnn...ugghhh and I get home late this whole week, so my evenings will be cut short again as they were a few months ago.....nothing I can do...I just keep doing it and go on...I love going on trips toooo much to give it up not to....so I'm glad everyone can bear with me....I took a ton of pics, so many that I don't even think I can get them all on here tonight...I may have to put them on here little by little cause there are so many, and I have to explain what they are etc....it was really really nice there wow I didn't realize how much I missed seeing so much greenery and actual trees because we don't have them here at all....we look out and just see parking lots and other peoples cars, and the roads and the bridge leading over the street.....pretty boring and not very interesting if you ask me....that's why I' m so anxious to get outta here to hopefully get to someplace where they didn't pour cement over anything that was nature related.....I will have to finish this later tomorrow when I get the pics on from here cause I will have to explain them since no one will have any idea what any of them are.....I've been on here several hours so I'm gonna take off now and I'll catch up with you all again tomorrow....I hope everyone had an awesome weekend, and is ready for another week to begin....honestly I'm not, but nothing that I can do about that.....bye for now everyone I'm off to read my book until about midnight our time here in Japan...take care and I'll talk with u soon!!!~~~~xoxo~~~~

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_udqEp_YR4-too cute and funny videos!!!! Here's something to cheer up your day!!!! I found this on here and it was too cute to pass up...Also this one got my attention, and reminded me of my cats from Italy since they were this small whenever I first saw them....http://www.youtube.com/watch? maybe even smaller than that cause they could fit in my one hand....I hope everyone is having a smashing weekend....I've loved all this time off to do whatever I've wanted to do whenever I felt like doing it....I'm always gone here anymore, always rushed, and so my time is extremely limited, so having not only the weekend, but also an extra day off tomorrow just thrills me to pieces.....hmmm same same same stuff here so nothing new really....I care nothing about what is going on here at alllllllllllllllll.....I should be picking up going jet-skiing in the next few months....at least sometime this summer even if it is just once or twice....that's an all day thing that only lasts half an hour, but it sure takes up time to do that sort of thing....it's rainy here on and off today. I'd much rather be putting up with this than the other hot stuff....hmm not much to talk about here since I've gracefully bowed out from doing everything here from anykind of Christmas parties to just whatever kind of events are going on here...yes there are things going on here no matter what time of day it is...There was some sort of Chinese Acrobat show thing they had come here over this weekend...I didn't even blink twice at it...Maybe if it was a major concert or something like that, but anything related to over here, I seriously don't care anymore...not after how these people have been treating me the last few years up until now.....And besides, whenever they have junk like that come here, sooooooooooooooooooooo many freaky people swarm from all over to come and see it, that it just takes the fun out of it...all you are doing is just standing in a line waiting to get in since the thing is free anyways, so anyone but anyone is going to go, and bring their neighbours and 14 kids, and what is the fun in all that??? I'd rather be at something for adults rather than something to entertain kids and families since I"m around that enough as it is....It really gets pretty boring after so long honestly......Anyways, I'm hoping the next place after here I won't be sick of everything after the 2nd year and just plain stopped caring on what is going on there, so I can join in to a few things....stuff that would actually be of any kind of an interest to me that is....and I just happened to stumble across this and it was too weird to pass up....http://news.aol.com/article/7-legged-calf/496507?icid=mainmaindl1link5http%3A%2F%2Fnews.aol.com%2Farticle%2F7-legged-calf%2F496507 okay guess I'll go for now...I"ll post again tomorrw on my last day off for break before the week actually starts for us here....take care everyone can't wait to have a chat with you all again when u get a chance...bye bye for now...=)

Happy weekend to everyone=) =) =) I"m too happy to be off finally from my work and be able to do whatever I want for a few days....I'm sure everyone else knows this feeling all too well....just because I'm off my own work, doesn't mean that it stops here at home...I'm forever involved in some sort of on-going projects that I have been working on, but haven't finished yet, and then start working on another one before I have finished the one before that one...so I got them all over the place...Once I do finish them, I'll put them on here to share, it just takes me forever to get through any of them because I'm always gone, or just don't feel like messing with them during the week....anyways...it's pretty slow this weekend here, which I don't mind at alllllllllllllllllll.....I skipped out on so many cookouts this weekend and last, and I don't feel the least bit guilty...I just saved myself several trips to the emergency room cause I can't stand that stuff, any of it....I normally go to restaurants with the dinner music playing, and they are pretty nice inside....just changing over to grabbing stuff off a picnic table sitting in the heat for hours and hours does not mix well with me....hmm it's nice to be able to go and actually TALK and hear what the other person is saying across from u whenever you do go out somewhere....tonight we went to a fairly busy place here, probably most popular here, cause if you don't get there early, people are hanging out the door, standing on the sidewalks, waiting to be paged with one of those pager things....I don't understand why big huge families want to go to "adult" oriented restaurants, and drag their very small children with them, and they just sit there and scream and cry the whole entire time...I can't stand this, and just grab everything up and leave....with already having a hard enough week as it is, having to listen to people and put up with them, and everything else that comes with it, the last thing I wanna hear when I go out to dinner or anywhere else, is have to sit there and listen to someone else's spoiled brat kids scream their head off over something....I know that I 'm not the only one who is seriously annoyed to pieces about this, because there are entire websites,***MILLIONS*** about that exact same issue, so I'm glad that I"m not alone....that isn't the first time that has happened where we went out, and couldn't even hear each other across the table talking whenever we were sitting less than 5 feet apart....so just because they are used to hearing it, whoever is doing and making the noise...doesn't mean that everyone else around them wants to hear it as well.....Japanese aren't too bad about this, but they still don't correct the problem since their family members no matter what age, can do no wrong at all....when we were in Italy, I never had this problem ever really, not that I remember...In Romania, it was just as bad as Americans, cause there were also Russians there, and they didn't speak English really, so if this did happen, they would usually have no idea what you were annoyed about..... and if you went into a restaurant or anywhere just to take a break, and sit and talk with your friend, be prepared for someone else's screaming kids, or their kids running full force like it's the Olympic track and field or something....the only way to get actual peace and catch up with anyone without some other jerk interrupting your conversation is to go behind a building or where it was almost completely deserted.....I know I'm not the only one who has run into this problem, because I hear about it all the time, but not everyone wants to admit it, but who actually *likes* to be interrupted or hear continuous screaming if you don't have to??? People can be pretty clueless and shallow these days if they are used to something, and don't mind it, and others are the complete opposite, then somehow you are the one with the problem... that I will never understand...just like the thing with the big huge dogs here....I don't want them around me, I made that clear, I won't go to anything where someone has one, and somehow I am the one with the problem....okay whatever...I'm not married to these people so I can be however I want just like anyone else can....but I guess everyone can kind of see what I mean.....you are different in what you like or don't like, and you are the one with the huge flaming attitude problem, and they don't even want to hear why you are that way....completely maddening if you ask me....I'd best stay away from them so I don't totally go off and say something that would start all kinds of things flying....hmm anyways, I found this article that got my attention big time... not that I would ever put anything on here that would keep me awake at night, but I know there are others who do, and think it's supposed to be funny......http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/142366?comment_start=66&comment_count=20 so just thought I would let everyone else out there know this as well....that there is "no such thing as deleted pics on the internet!!!" It gets pretty scary I think when you have no idea is out there looking at your pics, and whatever else you got posted on here......Anyways, guess I've talked enough for today, I'll be back again tomorrow real quick while I'm still on my break....just luvin' it having all this time to myself!!! stay safe everyone take care and drop by and talk with me when you can....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKqCX0Cf4YQ- I Have Loved You-Jessica Simpson-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUrqDmADmuU&feature=rec-HM-r2 It's not enough to say that I miss you Twilight - New Moon

Finally another week has ended, and I can finally do what I want for 3 whole wonderful days....We have Veterans Day on Monday so it only makes the weekend longer for everyone....I can finally get caught up several things that have been hanging over my head the past several months....Only one more week of this month left and we are into summer....uhhhgggghhhh I can't stand this time of year...it's already toooo hot here......I got sooo irritated today when I was in this disgusting hot weather that I just took the rest of what was left of my water and dumped it all over me....I was soaked, but it worked, and it only lasted about 10 minutes then I was dry again....I guess I"ll be doing that a lot this summer cause I can't stand how hot it gets here, and still no one here or anywhere else tends to believe me no matter how much I talk about it.......hmm it still seems like I'm destined forever to spend the rest of my life here and be buried at this nothing place....time is just draaaaaaaaaaaggggggginnnnnngggggg along and I hate it more and more here....I'm done with doing junk here, I"m done with trying out new stuff cause I"ve done it all, and I"m definately most DEFINATELY done with these boring alcoholics in training people here....can't stand 'em, even if I could, I'd still have nothing to do with them.....I don't think anyone else would want to either....if you come walking up or past where ever some group is sitting, then all of a sudden you hear a very loud "shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!" and everything and everyone around falls quiet.....ok whatever....I can figure it out they are talking about me, that's only too obvious...not that I care or anything, but I've been through it before....wow I seriously can't wait to get outta this lifestyle and back to reality in the real world.......so not much is going on right now....next week finally finally I will get to go to a resort here...I should have gone last month for my birthday but everything was filled up, then this month too, and because of the holiday weekend this weekend it was off the map.....so finally next weekend, I can't wait, so I'll get to post all kinds of pics on here again on how it looked there.....I'm not even going to focus on the food part....I expect to starve for about 2-3 days anyways while I'm there....oh well, it's not my fault if they want to eat already digested stuff and just put it on a plate here....okay I'll stop by again here tomorrow hope everyone enjoys their weekend...take care...chat with u all soon...xoxox

this story made me sick that I couldn't even read past the first few lines since I'm involved with both....
NYC police: Terror suspects wanted to commit jihad Video Video:FBI nets 4 in terror plot targeting NYC temple AP
Play Video Video:Synagogue Suspects: 3 Muslims, Haitian CBS 2 New York
Play Video Video:NYPD, Feds Stop Synagogue Bomb Plot CBS 2 New York
NEW YORK – Four men arrested after planting what they thought were explosives near a synagogue and community center and plotting to shoot down a military plane were bent on carrying out a jihad against America, authorities said Thursday.
The suspects were arrested Wednesday night, shortly after planting a mock explosive device in the trunk of a car outside the Riverdale Temple and two mock bombs in the backseat of a car outside the Jewish Center, authorities said.
At a news conference outside the Bronx temple, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly quoted one of the men as saying, "If Jews were killed in this attack ... that would be all right."
James Cromitie, David Williams, Onta Williams and Laguerre Payen, all of Newburgh, were charged with conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction within the United States and conspiracy to acquire and use anti-aircraft missiles, the U.S. attorney's office said.
An official told The Associated Press that three of the men are converts to Islam. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss details of the investigation. Three of the defendants are U.S. citizens and one is of Haitian descent, officials said.
The defendants are due in federal court Thursday in suburban White Plains.
Acting U.S. Attorney Lev L. Dassin said the defendants planned to detonate a car with plastic explosives to destroy the temple and Jewish center.
They also planned to shoot Stinger surface-to-air guided missiles at planes at the Air National Guard base in Newburgh, about 70 miles north of New York City.
The FBI and other agencies monitored the men and provided an inactive missile and inert C-4 to an informant for the defendants.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Kelly met privately with congregants Thursday inside the Riverdale Temple, which is located across the street from a school.
"The shock and being floored was followed by relief," David Winter, executive director of the Riverdale Jewish Center, said afterward.
Bloomberg warned against stereotypes, emphasizing that the temple is open to people of all faiths, including a Muslim girl who sometimes prays there.
Kelly said neighborhood security was ramped up to improve residents' "comfort level," even though "No one was at risk. This was a very tightly controlled operation."
Kelly said the temple may have been chosen because of "convenience" — it is near a highway.
Officials told The Associated Press the arrests came after a nearly yearlong undercover operation that began in Newburgh.
"This latest attempt to attack our freedoms shows that the homeland security threats against New York City are sadly all too real and underscores why we must remain vigilant in our efforts to prevent terrorism," New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement. The mayor is expected to appear at Riverdale Jewish Center morning services with Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly.
The defendants, in their efforts to acquire weapons, dealt with an informant acting under law enforcement supervision, authorities said. The FBI and other agencies monitored the men and provided an inactive missile and inert C-4 to the informant for the defendants, a federal complaint said.
In June 2008, the informant met Cromitie in Newburgh and Cromitie complained that his parents had lived in Afghanistan and he was upset about the war there and that many Muslim people were being killed in Afghanistan and Pakistan by U.S. military forces, officials said.
Cromitie also expressed an interest in doing "something to America," they said in the complaint.
In October 2008, the informant began meeting with the defendants at a Newburgh house equipped with concealed video and audio equipment, the complaint said.
Beginning in April 2009, the four men selected the synagogue and the community center they intended to hit, it said. They also conducted surveillance of military planes at the Air National Guard Base, it said.
Rep. Peter King, the senior Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, was briefed on the case following the arrests.
"This was a long, well-planned investigation, and it shows how real the threat is from homegrown terrorists," said King, of New York.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said if there can be any good news out of this case it's that "the group was relatively unsophisticated, penetrated early and not connected to any outside group."
"The shocking plan to blow up a Jewish house of prayer with what the jihadist terrorists thought were C-4 explosives is dramatic proof that the dangers from such fanaticism have not passed and that American Jews must maintain their vigilance," said a statement released by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights group.
The defendants were jailed Wednesday night and couldn't be contacted for comment. The FBI didn't immediately return a telephone message seeking information on whether the men had lawyers. http://gmy.news.yahoo.com/

Monday 18th May 2009

yahoooooooo I got my internet back here at home finalllyyyyy!!!! I hope that is the last of my problems because that happened twice in a week, and it was very annoying and extremely irritating....Anyways....I hope that everyone had a a great weekend....mine went too fast as usual.....I got a chance finally to work on some of the entries on here from last month...I'm still building on it though, it takes awhile to get through them, cause I worked really long hours all last month, and hardly had any kind of an evening at all.....but I'm slowly getting caught up, and having it all come together...=) Not too much else happened here....I skipped out on the beach party thing after all...I just get to where I just plain don't care...I got questioned about it today of course and why I wasn't there, or if they missed me or whatever else like that....I just honestly said that I didn't go....not after what I went through last week, that was exhausting enough....and there will be more, so it's not like I"m worried about it or anything.....Sorry again about the date on here....it never will stop and it's always wrong on here unless I do it at night after I come home from my work, or really really late, and I"m usually too tired then to get on here to think about what to say on this....it will only be right again whenever I finally move outta this place back to a normal part of the world, and be around normal society again...with a normal time....it's hard to remember what that is like sometimes....things are just a blur here now from day to day, cause it's moving very fast-paced, but sometimes to me it just drags....not too much longer I hope....then I will be having my own going-away party here, several I imagine....I think everything has calmed down a bit now since over the weekend...it was pretty wound up and chaotic for awhile....lol I was just browsing and found this....sounds evil....HERE:Take this Advice:1. put your finger on your nose2. hold your breath for 5 seconds3. say the name of your love4. that person will ask you out on the next Friday5. you will have the best day tomorrow6. if you don't copy and paste to 2 other videos you will have bad luck and die in 2 days....lol I remember when me and my friends used to do stuff like that in school...pretty silly now it seems, but still funny to look back on, and just think that there are still others out there still doing this kind of thing.....lol...wow good memories really....allright, I'm gonna run now....take care my friends, and have a splendid week!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq7P4vU0810-Someday-Miley Cyrus

Wow oh Wow, whata week I've had....then to end it, I had a ton of stuff come up to go to....2 beach parties, 2 going away parties, 3 birthday parties, and a whole lot more in various magazines around here....I get begged to go to this stuff after an extremely busy week working 10 hour days cause of some military exercise, it affects me too by the way....and I'm asked over and over by others I barely even know if I"m joining them when I'm exhausted enough as it is.....by the time the week ends, I seriously don't care to go anywhere else, or do anything but go home and relax and do what I want to do.....I really have to force myself to go and join into these things whatever it is, cause I tend to get in a rut, and just stay to myself, and not even realize it cause it doesn't bother me....so it doesn't hurt once in awhile, but I really have to push myself to do any of it since I"d rather be doing something of my own than sitting at some table with a bunch of people I barely know...of course anyone who knows me at all would take the first guess that I would practically fall over myself to be on here....hmm well after all that contemplating, I went to one of the going-away parties that I got invited to here....I went to walk there since it was a nice evening, and just wanted to think to myself over everything that had happened over the week....pretty good I guess, made some everlastin' memories (wink wink !!!!) went through my internet going out, for 24 hours which about drove me outta my mind, then got it back on, going through listening to sirens going off all week long, and I was so glad when it was all finally finally over with.....I got to where I thought this was "supposed" to be at, and they had absolutely nooo idea what I was talking about, and it turns out I went to the wrong place...only me could do something like that...so I had to go back the exact way that I had come.....I got there finally, but what a lot of fuss and I'm always messing up on everything...so great that one of my friends saw me along the way and we went together since I was pretty much done thinking stuff to myself and should concentrate on where I was going here.....it was a nice time after such a very long and aggravating week....I decided to forget the other stuff that I had hanging over me, and just enjoy my weekend since my summer is going to be packed and busy enough....there is always stuff going on here, day or night, rain or shine....I don't care one way or another cause I find plenty to do on my own, and would much rather spend time with my friends on here, than with a bunch of other people I barely even know, or it's just on a "hi and bye" basis, and that's it.....Anyways....this morning I woke up to a blaring voice...I thought it was someone shouting in Arabic cause it didn't make a bit of sense to me at all, and being disoriented when you are barely awake like that, it was hard to distinguish what it was exactly.....once we figured out where it was coming from, I went to go and see more of it....it was another protest....a blue van with a huge mega phone thing on the top with someone inside, yelling things in Japanese, and then a whole line of people behind it and they would answer in Japanese...we had no idea what they were saying.....the Japanese flag was displayed on the back hanging down, with another one they made with Japanese symbols all over it, and they criss-crossed each other....it was so loud, it woke me up out of a sound sleep, and I've had a very exhausting week....it was about noon-time but still I don't want to hear some blaring voice on my day off here...it sounded like they were right under my balcony here yelling up at me....that's how loud it was...I didn't even think it was out on the street....I watched this thing with several others from here, and we took pictures of this crazy thing going on, to show a few others what we have to go through here.....it's pretty hurtful...they don't want us here honestly, and are trying to drive us out to take back their land here....that's why they are so mean and nasty to Americans....they have been that way to me ever since I arrived here in this country...I couldn't understand why exactly...then I kept hearing about these protests that happened on and off here...they really don't do anything, they just walk with signs, blare music, and all shout things in Japanese, like we know what they are saying in the first place.....I tried to get some pictures of this chaotic thing going on, but I got the tail end of it, since I had to run back up here and grab my camera...this isn't the first time this has happened since we've been here....it goes on several times a year....it's been so crazy all week, I didn't hear a thing about this at all....they just always tell us not to interact with them, or try and stop them if we happen to be out there when they are passing....they went all the way down circling us, then disappeared, and then I heard them again late afternoon here coming back this way....guess when they got back where ever they had started from, they were all going to go eat somewhere together....that's usually what they do after doing things together....I was so glad when this thing was over with finally, and I didn't have to hear that any longer....I don't know why they want to fight over everything and are so mean and hateful and bitter towards everyone and everything....they treat me this way, and I don't like it at all of course....so I just plain stay away from them, and only talk with them whenever I absolutely have to....not my choice of course, cause it's hurtful what they think and do to us.....no one can read what's on their signs directed at us, or understand what they are saying....we don't know what their music is saying they are blaring, we don't know what the flag says they have with the Japanese flag, we don't know any of that....maybe some do who are studying this language, or can find someone Japanese kind enough to tell them the mean things that are going on right in front of us, but in some way, I feel that I am better off not knowing....I just never went through any of this before with the protesting every few months, and yelling around at us in another language...it's pretty scary...I'm just glad that attacks don't break out or anything....they aren't violent or start any fighting, they just chant stuff, and keep going.....it's still pretty hurtful having to see this type of thing....no one else understands it, unless they also are living it, or have been through it before....it's all political stuff, nothing that I can do anything about, or understand it all really.....I'm sure we'll see this again at least 2 more times this year....well, I think I"ve talked enough for one night...I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend and nothing like that is going on where ever you are...take care and come say hi to me whenever you can...miss u all know u are thought of!!!!!!xoxoxohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4wVe6IwRow-I Wish-JoDee Mesina (gorgeous song!! hope u all enjoy!!!)

ho hum another week...well soo what else is new??? It's been raining here on and off, and now it's unbelieveably disgusting and extremely humid....I'm dreading the summer here for a 3rd year in a row...it's hard to believe I still have one more to suffer through after this one....I thought that last year was bad enough....I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend...mine went tooo fast as always, but not much I can do about that....just counting the days until vacation in a few months...can't wait can't wait....everyone will get to come with me, and I hope can see me in my hotel room there in Tokyo which would make it even more exciting to talk with you all....so I'm not doing anything until then cause I don't wanna mess anything up etc...etc....same thing here mostly happening as usual work day after day....there's a beach party here this weekend....not sure if I will go yet, maybe just to stop by and see how it is, then leave....not much to do at those but hang out which gets boring after so long esp just being in the heat, and I don't really care to be inviting sunburns to attack me....so we'll see just don't know yet really....I kind of decide those things at the last minute just to get pics and stuff like that, then head out....don't really care a thing about what goes on here at all....it's usually the same stuff, and there's nothing too exciting about it....nothing that is going to change or benefit my life anymore now than it already is so I don't worry about it....These last few months have just been flying by... I can't believe that summertime is just a few weeks away now....I'm somewhat thrilled to see how much faster this year is flying by than the last to make the time go faster here....I've pretty much reached my wits end of this place...I've fully decided that Japanese people are the most rudest people on the planet earth....I had to call something early this morning and of course got someone Japanese with limited very bad English, and there was some sort of misunderstanding, I got yelled at, and they were just sitting there arguing with themselves calling me names and I don't know what else they were saying to me in Japanese, then just slammed the phone down on me and hung up....(???) okay so what was that about?????? These people are supposed to be nice and polite??? okay whatever....maybe they appear that way, but I definately know better, and have been around them wayyy tooo long to buy that ever....I would never go and treat someone that way ever, and I never slam the phone down on anyone, and just hang up on them if I don't understand something or call them names in another language......I really can't stand living here around people who act this way, and want everyone to believe they are all practically saints or something and never do anything wrong....I tell plenty on whenever they do something to me, and I don't make any of it up....pretty hurtful I think, with me being the foreigner over here, not understanding a lot of stuff that goes on here, not knowing this whacked up whatever language whoever thought that up, and don't even start with the food stuff.....not impressed, don't care so it's great to find others who see it the same way as I do....what rotten people, but I don't let something like that ruin my day....they definately wouldn't like it if they were to come to the United States and have someone American talk so hateful to them on the phone, call them names, yell at them, and then hang up on them cause they don't understand them....anyways....just to give everyone out there some inside info on what goes on here and how the locals act since I have to live around it....hmm I'm kinda hesitant on going home cause I left a sack of food by the door I meant to take with me, and of course forgot the whole entire thing...I recently went and had my cats shaved for the summer, so they are pretty much bald and funny looking I think, but as hot as it gets here I made it something I do every year now...they are still kind of mad at me....I don't doubt for a minute they have ripped into that by now, and have made a mess of what was in there....lunchmeat, cheese and japanese noodles......not just that, but probably dragged it around the house playing with it to get back at me....that's what I get for always running late and forgetting things....somehow everyone else thinks it's funny but it gets annoying to me....so I'm just hoping it's not tooo badddd....such wishful thinking I have right??? lol.....I"m not at home right now, so I"ll have to post pics and stuff like that whenever I do get home and put the finishing touches on this and all that other jazz....I gotta run now, just wanted to drop in and say hi to everyone....have a fabulous week and drop in and say hi to me when you can!!! miss u all!! take care!!!! xoxoxo p.s. by the way, I'm finally over with whatever it was that I had a couple weeks back!!!! still have no idea what it was but I get sick over anything and everything from being on a boat to just looking at something I can't stand....so it's nothing new to me really lol.....talk with u all soonnnnnn......xoxoxoxoxoxoxo=)

Finally it's the weekend again and I can have a chance to get caught up on things and do what I want....hey all what's going on...I'm so sorry that I kind of got off track on this thing over this last week...I'm always always gone anymore, and it's sooo late when I get home anymore, that the evenings just fly by....I hope the rest of my time flies by here just as the time has because of the ridiculous time difference that I have to put up with while living here...hmm it's getting closer and closer to summer and already starting to get dreadfully hot....this mess sent me to the hospital twice last year cause of heat exhaustion, I really hope that doesn't happen this year again, cause I don't want the attention and everyone staring at me...hmm not much has been going on here as usual...there's stuff going on all the time here day and night, every single day of the year, but really I don't care what it is....I turn down going to stuff all the time here, or I just don't want to be around it...We have 2 beach parties coming up here this month...I go to get pics, kind of try and enjoy myself, but that's about it, cause I won't touch whatever it is they are cooking out, won't even look at it, and that's pretty much it...I tried to eat cookout food at a thing like that I went to about a year ago here, and was sick for a week cause I never eat that stuff ever....quite a change going from nice restaurants with dinner music to just going through a line down some picnic tables and getting whatever you want with flies and ants all over the place.....perhaps I can get more video of us goofing around and stuff like that everyone else really not me...the ones who are brave enough to do that and then get it sent around to everyone here and who knows where else....so I"ll see how it turns out and what happens whenever it does....just looking for more to put on here, cause everything is just kind of in a slump right now....not much going on, it's getting to hot to even wanna think about, but I still haveta be here....I"m just thrilled to pieces that I can pick up my radio station all the way over here from back home cause I have absolutely nothing to do with this place....wow I heard the funniest stories on there the other day they were telling to one another....several infact as others started responding one after the other...one was someone couldn't get their computer to work, it wouldn't come on, wouldn't do anything, etc..etc..... and they finally looked and the thing wasn't plugged in....another was a VCR wouldn't come on, and the guy drove from the University there from Norman like an hour and a half to Tulsa, (very very far as I can remember...) to help out whoever it was having probs with the VCR, and just plugged that in and it worked just fine then....the one that about killed me it was so funny was that someone else said they were running late and couldn't find their cell phone anywhere, they were looking all over for it, but still couldn't find it....until someone told them" uhh well, you're talking on it..." no wonder I can't give those people up, or my radio station, no matter where in the world I'm placed....we act exactly alike to the max.....I've done every bit of that at some point, and didn't even realize it until someone pointed it out....I've been through going on and on and on about how something doesn't work it won't do anything, I hate the stupid thing, it should have never been invented, it was a dumb invention anyways cause it doesn't work to begin with and finally I get someone to look at it, and all they do is plug it in, and the thing works then....and of course we have a huge laugh and I'm the one getting poked fun at, but all in good taste and everything like that.....I couldn't find my cell phone either before, I was looking all over for it, going from room to room frantically looking and of course running late, and then look down and the thing is in my hand and I'd been holding on to it the whole time....Same thing happened this morning with our treadmill, trying to set it up to workout, turned it on, it wouldn't do anything nothing, until we noticed the cord just laying there.....so glad I have others to laugh about that kind of stuff with, and it's even greater to know I'm not the only one on earth who does stuff like that.....wow that all was just too funny, but I get a kick out of anything like that so it doesn't take much for me....I found these pics about a week or so ago, and have been meaning to put them on here when I finally got a chance to....now I finally do, so I'll put them on here while I'm actually thinking about it.....this is some parking garage in Germany that somehow got passed onto me...Italy wasn't this outrageous, at least not in the ones I got exposed to while being there, but still it was quite an eye-opener....I can't remember what town it was, or what exactly we were doing there, but it was just one of those flat ones in levels not like this...this is the first time that I've seen one of these...didn't even know one of these actually exsisted!!!! hmm I went to this movie last night....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqXnowJjfDc it pretty much scared me to death but felt sooo good to get out and do something for once finallyyyyy besides just work then home or going to dinner or something like that.....pretty much shook me up pretty bad, and reminded me of another one that took place in the woods like that, another reason why I can't stand living out in the middle of nowhere in small nothing towns, or going in the woods on some camping trip....I never know what could happen or what could.......we only get a few movies here at a time, so I'm glad to see whatever I can cause I'm so bored with this place....hmmm not too much else is going on here, as you can see I'm scraping like crazy to find things to talk about right now, but just wanted to drop in and catch up with everyone.....I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend to the fullest, and doing what they like....I am, but still feel like time is going far too fast as always.....okay I'm gonna take off now, take care everyone and I"ll talk with u all soon when you get a chance to stop by and say hi to me!!! bye for now!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQDLvcdUBic! xoxo

A man and his ever-nagging
wife went on vacation to Jerusalem. While they were there, the wife passedaway. The undertaker told the husband, "You can have her shipped home for$5,000, or you can bury her here, in the Holy Land, for $150." The manthought about it and said he would just have her shipped home.
The undertaker asked, "Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your wife home,when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only$150?"The man replied,
"Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days later he rosefrom the dead. I just can't take that chance."

Hi again I hope that everyone had a good weekend....I on the otherhand have been completely miserable the last few days since the last time that I was on here.....I thought all that was just from a piece of cake, which I'll never be able to look at the same way again, much less ever crave after the feeling it gave me......I was told just a few hours ago (cause I got tired of whatever it was hanging on to me) that I could have a touch of that Swine Flu stuff that is going around the whole entire country...hmmmm my radio station said it is world wide now, and the last time anything this big that was "worldwide" was the "Macarana". I was pretty young then, but they always find a way to joke about anything...unlike this place.....At least this hit me a few days after my birthday cause last year I was sitting in the hospital on my birthday....not fun....That was from a trip I'd went on, and they dragged everyone on it to Kokasai Street...I cared nothing for this at all.....It is nothing but walking and walking and walking up and down a very long drawn out street, and shopping all along the sides from things they have set up.....wouldn't mind too much, but it was just soooo hot then, and too much walking, and I ended up laying down in a restaurant booth for the 4-5 hours that everyone else was doing that....two trips back to back one day after another is too much, and it is so dirty and conglomerated here.... I care nothing

about going back to that place cause the same thing happened twice both the times that I went there....I am doing better than I was, but doesn't surprise me that I have to catch what

everyone else is trying to avoid just to give them an excuse to avoid me....okay whatever then...I found these articles earlier today and thought I would put them on here since I"m always obsessing about everything and then want to tell everyone else about it then....http://www.sheerbalance.com/brettsblog/2008/04/18/5-ingredients-to-avoid/ http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/health/user-post-sugar-8-shocking-facts-454190/ hmm guess I"m doing better than I was a few days back, but still don't like the sick feeling altogether.....It's hard to believe the weekend has already come and gone, and it's going to be just another lonnnnngggg weeekkk uuhhhggg I think it's worse when nothing ever happens here, and it's just the same exact junk day after day week after week.....I tend to steer clear of certain ones here, cause they want to go walking in a group, and then hollar out at guys driving by with the windows down, and then they all look at me like I'm the one who did it.....my friend back home used to do that and I couldn't stand it then, and still can't... I don't get why they want to do that, then I'm the one who gets the attention for it, when that is the last thing that I want esp at this place.....that's what I have to put up with being around others who are dragging behind me in the age category......hmm next month is summer, but it is already starting to get hot here....it will be nice to go swimming again, but not at these disgusting beaches they have around here....resort maybe because they tend to keep them up 24 hours......I will go to one again soon, just for a break from here, and to be reminded what it's like, and that there is still life out there in other parts of the world, and not just here......I hope everyone is doing better than I am now, and we can have a chat soon....have a fabulous week, and let me know how you're doing!!! take care!!!!! =) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cpewg0LDG8E&feature=related- Twilight_Pieces
