I was on Facebook yesterday, piddling around when I get a message from someone. He was the older brother to someone I went to high school with. He seemed friendly enough, until it seemed he was looking for some college students to help with some kind of ‘business opportunity.’ (Usually means telemarketing in my book. [...]

I read this heart-wrenching story on CNN this morning, about Chantal Sebire. She had esthesioneuroblastoma, a form of non-curable cancer in her nasal passages and sinuses that caused a considerable amount of facial distortion, and excruciating pain. She fought, and lost, a battle in France to allow her to have assisted suicide, to avoid further [...]

So, I spent a post Bitching About My Guild. Well, yesterday we had an ‘officer meeting’ to help clear the air, so to speak. Did it go well? Yes and no, in my opinion. I think some of my points were getting across, yet I still have doubts about a few issues. (Mainly relating to [...]
Bitching About My Guild
Posted in World of Warcraft, tagged ecc, guild, WOW on March 14, 2008 | 1 Comment »
This isn’t something I can really put on my guild’s blog, so I’m going to vent here. If you don’t play World of Warcraft, then you’ll probably never understand what I’m talking about. (Hell, this post will be mostly for my venting anyways, so what do I care if you get it or not?!)
You would [...]

Not that I’m remotely any expert on healthy living, only really starting for the past week, but damn, have I noticed a lot advertisements for ‘junk’ food?! I mean, I don’t know if it’s because I’m starting to watch what I eat, or there’s just more ads out there, but, wow… it’s a bombardment!

I saw this article on CNN yesterday. (I could have sworn I’ve blogged about it before, but it may have been on another site.) At any rate, the basic gist of the story is that there is a couple who have a child with cerebral palsy. In essence, she has the mind of a 6-month-old [...]

I love when people actually comment on my blogs. Every now and then, I get comments that really get me to write a full response. I got a response to my post, “What Customer Service Reps Have To Deal With,” from a user named “CSM.” Well, the following were his comments, and my responses to [...]
I Found SparkPeople.Com

Yesterday, I was on the hunt for a ‘fitness’ website. Somewhere I could go that helped me track my calories, exercise, maybe a blog, and had support from other people. Originally, I found Weight Watchers’ website. It looked really great, and I was considering shelling out $15 a month. True, I thought it might be [...]
