Happy 69 Day again everyone!!!!! (06/09/09) =) I didn't even realize this was coming up again on us like this....lol....guess it will be happenin' all month long where ever there is a "9" in the date....I know I'm bad, and only someone like me would see something like that in the date of all places and find someway to make a joke out of it....Our summer starts here next week, and I'll be going on trips every single day just about with my work, so I'll be even more busier than I am now.....Same places that I"ve been to before, but I haven't been to in a while, and it will be nice just to go a couple more times before I leave for good here......So either way, I'm excited, and I"ll be taking tonz and tonz of pics to put on here, so share with everyone on what I'll be doing.......so let's all have an amazing summer together and try and forget everything else in the negative aspect that is happening out there in the world....at least while we all are on here.....talk with u all soon...take care......

Howdeee all, I hope the weekend was fantastic for everyone....summer is definataly in the works whether we are ready for it or not....I am in some ways....in others, ummm not a chance really......I finally finished my book Twilight and finally watched the movie that goes along with it....I loved the book, but the movie has to be the most boring thing that I have seen this year.....I watched it twice, and fell asleep both times that's how bored to death I was with it....I guess more for younger generation, but I really just wanted to see what all the fuss was about.....I suppose I'll stay with both just to keep myself entertained over here...and I love the discussions that I get into with others about it with....Anyways, I went to Greek place tonight for dinner...amazing that I could find something like that over here where everything else is so disgusting in my opinion at least.....It was nice after to go and just sit and look at the ocean nearby as far as it would go out...I wished soooo badly that I could be on the other side of it from here...it's pretty flat here, no waves really, except a few at the front is all. There was a few CruiseLiners in the distance passing through this area...I kept trying to figure out, how in the world did I end up in a place that appears beautiful and everything on postcards and tourists brochures, but is so incredibly boring and overly polluted and hateful whenever u do get here.....I'll be going there every other week now, so I'll get pictures later this month to put on here...I've never lived this close to a beach ever in my whole life, and when I finally do, it's nothing but jagged rock, and has barriers to block the waves whenever we have typhoons here....so not much of a beach if you ask me.....it's hard to explain really, I just have to show it to give everyone else a mental picture what it's like.....hmm my time will come though to go to a normal one, and I won't miss the ones over here at all....when I go back home to visit, I don't even think of it here, or miss it the least little bit.....just not worth it really....I kept looking at all the articles on this plane crash that happened exactly a week ago today, and how scary it is getting putting our trust in flying all over the world, and then something like that happens unexpectedly....I have to depend on them regardless, cause that is my only way to get around over here, and with moving around the world every few years....I don't like hearing stories of disappearances, and then never being found or heard from again.....I have a small globe, and it's about as big as the size of a fist...just looking at that I can see how much water there is all over the world....the more I look at that, and the more I hear about these stories, and my upcoming trips that are being planned, or that I'm working on planning, and then our moving arrangements coming up, it just puts a great big knot in my stomach, cause I really don't want that to happen to me or anyone that I know....of all things that is the career that I chose and there are always mishaps that are going on in some different part of the world...anything can happen anytime, anywhere. With all these plane crashes that happen periodically, whenever I get back to the states, I plan to work for cruiseliner...I talked to them over here about it already, just a few weeks ago infact.... They told me that I would have to go all the way to Sydney Australia to apply, then wait for responce, so that's pretty much out right now...but someone told me before that a cruise they went on, got caught in a hurricane, and sunk it, and everyone on board died, and they had been on that exact same cruise before...A lot of dangers, but still I am drawn to this I have no idea why...I"ve never known anyone as determined as myself to go through fire and back just to see the world and all the different countries that are out there, I don't care how difficult it is along the way..just scary is all, but still that doesn't seem to stop me....I can just hope for the best is all, nothing that I can do about all these obstacles that try and stop it......hmm another week is about to start....I hope it flies by....last week didn't want to seem to end, and it was really starting to make me mad....nothing I can do about the time just like anyone else isn't able to...anyways, I"m gonna go to bed now, hope everyone is okay and stayin' safe out there...miss u all drop by and talk with me when u can...take care and have a spendid week!!!! xxxx http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXzgAhd2uuU
Air France crash: mystery of plane disappearances
While the disappearance of Air France flight 447 over the Atlantic is unusual, there have been previous instances of aircraft vanishing during flight:

Air France Airbus A330: Air France confirmed that 'it had no news' of flight number AF 447 Photo: AFP
* In 1936, French aviator Jean Mermoz disappeared along with his Latécoère 300 plane 800 kilometres off the coast of Dakar, Senegal, after sending a short message reporting engine problems. The wreckage was never found.
* US aviator Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean in 1937 while attempting to fly around the world along the Equator. In her last radio message Earhart, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, had reported running out of fuel. No trace of the two or wreckage was ever found.

* Antoine de Saint-Exupery, the author of Le Petit Prince, vanished in July 1944 while on a mission to survey German troop movements. His Lockheed Lightning P-38 plane was found some 60 years later on the seabed off Marseille.
* In December 1945, a group of five Avenger torpedo bombers disappeared along with all 14 airmen while on a routine patrol in the area between Miami and Florida known as the Bermuda Triangle. The men had radioed that they were lost and their compasses were not working before vanishing. The planes were never found.
* In August 1947, Star Dust, a British South American Airways airliner vanished as it flew between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Santiago, Chile, via Mendoza. No wreckage was discovered for over 50 years, provoking conspiracy theories about sabotage and abduction by aliens. A Rolls Royce engine and the remains of nine of the eleven victims were eventually found at the foot of a glacier in the Andes.
* In December 1948, the Airborne Transporter DC-3 airliner NC16002 was nearing the the end of a scheduled flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico to Miami, Florida when it vanished along with its 29 passengers and three crew members. No probable cause for the loss was determined and the aircraft was never found. Its disappearance was blamed on the Bermuda Triangle phenomenon.
* On October 13, 1972, a Uruguayan air force plane carrying 40 passengers and five crew disappeared while crossing the Andes. Seventy-two days later, after everyone on board was presumed dead, 16 survivors emerged. The story of how starvation drove them to eat some of the dead passengers was made into the 1993 film "Alive".
* In July 1996, a TWA flight bound for Paris from New York lost contact shortly after takeoff. No warning was broadcast of the crash but witnesses reported seeing a fireball in the sky where it should have been. A total of 230 people died.
* In 1999, Egyptair Flight 990 from New York to Cairo nosedived into the Atlantic Ocean 60 miles off the US coast. All 217 people died in the crash, but mystery still surrounds its cause. The Egyptian Flight Officer controlling the plane was recorded repeatedly saying "I rely on God" before the crash, but an investigation concluded he did not deliberately cause the accident.
* Adam Air Flight 574 between the Indonesian cities of Surabaya and Manado disappeared off the western coast on 1 January 2007. While the black box flight recorders and some debris were eventually recovered, the bodies of the 102 people on board were never found.

CNN) -- As the possibility decreases that investigators will learn what happened to Air France Flight 447 on Monday over the Atlantic Ocean, the chance of it entering the folklore of mystery crashes grows.

What happened to Amelia Earhart, whose plane vanished over the ocean in 1937, has been an enduring mystery.

Brazilian air force officials still have not identified debris from the Airbus A330, and a former U.S. National Transportation Safety Board official said currents would be scattering any debris from the flight over an increasing area, reducing the probability of finding the jetliner's voice and flight data recorders.
Experts said lack of answers about what happened to Flight 447 could give it a lasting place in the public consciousness, like TWA Flight 800.
Flight 800, headed to Paris, France, from New York, crashed into the Atlantic off Long Island in 1996, killing all 230 people aboard. Initially speculating that the plane was the target of a terrorist attack, the NTSB in 2000 released a report citing a short circuit around the center wing fuel tank as the probable cause.
The exact cause still has not been determined, and several other explanations have been offered over the years.
Clint V. Oster Jr., a professor of public and environmental affairs at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, said that while the public may more readily process a single explanation, the reality is that many crashes are the result of compound difficulties.
"Many crashes don't have a single cause, but rather are the result of a complex sequence of events involving multiple failures. Understanding how these multiple factors interacted to cause the crash can be difficult," said Oster, co-author of "Why Airplanes Crash: Aviation Safety in a Changing World."

Pilot and author Phaedra Hise of Richmond, Virginia, said a love of mysteries multiplied by the fact that air travel still captivates the public keeps fascination high.
"If [John F. Kennedy Jr.] had died in a car crash, there would not be the same level of fascination. Aviation for a lot of people is still pretty magical," said Hise, author of "Anatomy of a Plane Crash."
"If you don't know how [a plane] works, it's pretty magical; this huge thing takes flight. It's just a big mystery. There's a lot of romance with that, a lot of drama," Hise said. "The people who fly them are considered brave and have a lot of heart. And people just don't understand, so many people just don't understand, how airplanes work."
A number of unsolved plane crashes have remained in the public psyche for years:
One of the most famous was that of aviator Amelia Earhart, whose twin-engine Lockheed Electra vanished over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 while on a round-the-world flight. Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, were never heard from again.
Because of the social intrigue, theories -- and conspiracies -- related to Earhart's disappearance have become legend.
None of course ranks as high in mystery as the Bermuda Triangle, a cone-shaped vicinity extending northward from Puerto Rico to about halfway up the U.S. Eastern Seaboard. Its origins come from the loss of Flight 19, a team of five Navy bombers that vanished in 1945 after getting disoriented and confused about its coordinates.
More recently, South African Airways Flight 295, a Boeing 747 en route to Johannesburg from Taiwan in 1987, crashed into the Indian Ocean shortly after the pilot reported smoke in the cabin. While debris that washed up on the shores of Madagascar was tested, the cause of the crash has never been positively established.
In 1994, U.S. Air Flight 427 crashed in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, after taking off in Chicago, Illinois, en route to West Palm Beach, Florida. While federal officials identified a problem with the rudder but could not explain why the plane suddenly flipped and crashed, not a single clue has revealed why the mechanism failed. All 132 people aboard died.
Golfer Payne Stewart's Learjet crashed in 1999. Although federal investigators revealed that the cabin air system lost pressure, it still has not been determined why. The pilots reportedly lost contact with air traffic controllers about 15 minutes into the flight. The investigation uncovered that the jet flew a straight course until it ran out of fuel and crashed in South Dakota.
In January 2008, a British Airways Boeing 777 crashed short of the runway at Heathrow Airport in London, England. Nineteen of the 152 people aboard were injured. There still is no explanation for why the plane's engines lost power.
"The one that fascinates me is Steve Fossett," said Hise."I have absolutely no idea what happened to that man."
Fossett, an adventurer famous for being the first person to complete a solo balloon flight around the world, was reported missing over Nevada in September 2007. Months after investigators searched for his body, his widow, in February 2008, requested that he be declared legally dead. His bones, found more than a half-mile from where his plane wreckage was discovered, were positively identified later that year.
"He was flying in clear skies, in an area he was familiar with. That's the one that kind of eats away at me," Hise said.
With all the mystery, David M. Primo, associate professor of political science at the University of Rochester, said there's a broader effect when investigations fail to find clues about how an aircraft go down.
"An unsolved crash has the effect of creating an erroneous perception that flying is unsafe, even though it is a remarkably safe form of travel," said Primo, co-author of "The Plane Truth: Airline Crashes, The Media and Transportation Policy."
The odds of dying in a domestic plane crash are one in 70 million, according to MIT statistician Arnold Barnett, who has performed analyses for the Federal Aviation Administration.

Happy 69 day everyone.....lol....I'm referring to the date by the way incase no one else has noticed it...lol..I've been mentioning it the whole day long, and everytime I do, I get hysterical laughter....Anyways...

I don't remember the name of the town, or even how to begin to spell it since it is Chinese name...but anyways...they said it happened in China, that a guy got his hand torn off in a ***TUG OF WAR*** game....something like the rope got wrapped around his hand, and it got yanked tooooo hard and it ripped his hand off....blluaahhh how disgusting is that...and who exactly gets that wrapped up in an unimportant ***TUG OF WAR*** game??!!!! They went on to tell a few more tidbits of this story, and also to go on and tell how it was reattached and still weren't sure if it would be useful again....so!! I know not to get into Tug of War....not that I'm sports oriented ***AT ALL*** but still I would never get that lost in some dumb game that means nothing enough to rip my own hand off.....Anyways!!! hope I didn't gross anyone out tooo bad...I was gagging for a good 5 min whenever I heard that story..I think it was yesterday here for us.....hmm well that's about all I have to say for now, enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone and have a good time while you're off....I know all too well the time never lasts long!!! just look at my pics from last weekend for proof!!! see you all soon...big hugzzz take care....

hi once again....I finally got a chance finally finally to get the rest of my pics posted on here!!!! I"m so sorry that it took me so long to get the rest of them on here, but I am kept so busy these days, I can hardly stand it sometimes....these mostly just show what it looked like there where we were staying at the resort around the pool area and indoor pool area with hot tub.....too niccceee of course....I loved it there, and the waterfall by the outdoor pool at night was lit up in different colored lights... I didn't get a pic of that, cause when it was actually night, I had forgotten my camera upstairs, and the place was soooo big, I wasn't in the mood to go all the way back up then down again, and try and find my way outside with the millions of glass doors they had there that all looked the exact same to me.....We were on the 7th floor, and it was looking out into the ocean, so you can see the view I had...compared to what I have to look at everyday here, I thought I was dreaming at first....still no regular sand beach, as u can see...it's all jagged rock with water, and somehow they call it a beach.....everything was great, except the ridiculous baseball game they kept having going on outside, and I could hear them constantly yelling....I didnt' exactly want to hear that but nothing I could do about it...It woke me up the whole time I was there, cause they would start playing baseball at like 6-7 in the morning....Start at the bottom and go up...I messed this up again, and the pics that were supposed to be first, are the last ones, and the last ones are on the top, but I'm too tired to do it all over again.....but these are the rest of my pics...I thought I had more than this, but I guess not....so hope you all enjoy seeing a bit of Okinawa Japan....it's nice at first, but believe me, you get sick of seeing this so much after several years, and you can't go anywhere but north, south, east or west.....I'm sure it will mean something in the later years from now....nice memories at least....I will be putting pics on here all summer long, of different places, so I can't wait to share them!!!! hope you all are doing great in your little place in the world....can't wait to talk with u on here...take care....=) xxxx
