Daycare?

This weekend, mom and I are babysitting Reid. We're encroaching on the final hours of this endeavor, and I'm exhausted. It's hard running after a 1&1/2 year old all weekend. Last night I think I slept the longest in ages! I fell asleep at 9:30 and woke up this morning at 9. :]

I've been working on the little things of my 101, simply because I've been so busy and run-down that the big stuff is too hard to conquer right now. I've complemented another 2 strangers recently, and this morning I was working on adding pictures to my iTunes. I'll update my 101 when I get around to it.

I can't handle how tired I've been lately. I mean, shiiit. I bought Wall-E last weekend, and still haven't found the time to watch the whole thing. :[ Arright, I gotta help mom with the baby. :/

Keep the Faith.

I was reading Jim Moriarty's (CEO of Surfrider Foundation) blog a few days ago, and as if his "Antithesis of Sustainability..." blog on the air conditioned beaches wasn't enough to make me want to vomit, he had written another "Antithesis..." blog about bottled water.... for dogs. The human race is getting excessively ridiculous. It's hard for me to have any faith in our species. It's terrible, instead of worrying about the environment and blatant threat of global warming (see Australian Brush Fires. ), we (mostly the Americans, because we're pigheaded slobs) worry about American Idol, the 2 year anniversary of Anna Nicole's death, Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps sucking on a bong, etc.

I don't know how long I can take the fact that there are serious crises in the world like the genocide in Darfur, and brush fires in Australia, where fellow humans are dying, and we (most Americans.) sit on our comfortable chairs worrying about the bikini chick from American Idol getting the boot. It's disgusting. Especially Long Islanders. We're slobs, which is a good reason for our cancer bubble lurking overhead. Which sucks, because countless families need to suffer from this God-forsaken disease because others can't handle throwing things out in the trash cans, or preventing oil spills, or maybe, just maybe, not putting power plants in close proximity.

Unfortunately, we do these things to ourselves. The human race deserves this. We should've taken aspects of Native Americans, and treated the Earth as a "who" instead of an "it". Generally, people have more respect for "who's" than "it's".

I'm losing faith in humankind. (Especially American) It should be mandatory to recycle, and littering should be punishable. There should be regulations on the greenhouse gas emissions coming out of powerplants. We should also allow the science to make cars run on renewable resources available. I'm sure the emission from renewable resources isn't as terrible as the gasoline emission.

Ugh. Bottled water, for dogs. We're screwed.

101 Update and other useless crap.

#84. Give 5 random gifts to Jesse [1/5]

I bought him a Snapfish photo book from our "travels" to Florida and the Bahamas. :]


Other useless crap:

I downloaded Google Earth 5.0. It's really cool. I like it a lot. Now I can explore the ocean and what-not. Also, there's a feature on it that lets you see what's going on in Darfur and other places that would prove to be more important than Michael Phelps sucking on a bong. (Oh my God! A swimmer smoking pot?! NEVER.)

I'm about a week ahead on homework, which is awesome, because if I stay ahead on homework, I'll be able to enjoy the weather in May instead of sitting inside doing my homework. :]

I'm hoping to get a job working with Moon at the preschool she works at, I'm going to apply on Tuesday, and hope for the best. Hopefully they give super part time hours. I need a flexible schedule.

Today I'm going to get my shit organized. I figure- the more organized I am, the better I will do at school, and remembering what to do on what day, and maybe it'll help me forget less.

...I still need to pay my school bill. :B

... And I need to take photos. Pronto. I subscribed to DeviantART for 3 months, and I promptly became inactive.

...And I need to get my stuff together that way I can work on the Hazmat Bay stuff that I need to work on (merchandise designs, potential album art, etc.)

So much to do. Not really. But I'm just sitting here talking about it.. I should just... do.

Wow.

I just started to look at Google Earth 5.0. It's amazing. I'm downloading it right now, but I don't think I'll have time to play with it until after school at 5. I'm so excited.

I have to leave for school in 15 minutes.

I made a donation to the Young Survivors Coalition via Oakley Sunglasses. I don't know if that counts as a donation on my 101, but I'll just say no, and donate again.

Google Earth's done.

School.

Yesterday was my first day of school. It's a 9-5 ordeal. But! Luckily, today I found out that I don't have my Tuesday/Thursday class until March 3rd. (It's a Fitness Walking gym class) So that made life easier. Today I have a shitload of errands to run. At 12:00 I'm taking Jesse to school, and then at 3:00 I'm picking him up. Other than that I have to run errands for my momma. I don't know what kind of errands they are as I haven't gone downstairs to look. :/

As for my 101: It's sort of put on hold until I get into the swing of school again.
On the brightside: I'm more than halfway done with my first book on the list: Lamb. Which is awesome, so I can go ahead and read more books for my 101.

Small 101 Update

I've now donated 25,640 grains of rice out of 250,000 at www.freerice.com . :]

Nothing special...

This weekend I'm at dad's place. I failed to bring my laptop, which has proven itself to be a stupid move... I could've kept editing pictures, and continued to place my order for 30 free prints at Snapfish; before they expire. Duh. Had I had my laptop, I would've been able to not one, but two things on my 101 list. Oh well. I'm already working on the tattoo idea. I just need to draw it up and stare at it for the better part of a year. I think I want to do a subliminal ode to 311. What I'm thinking of is 3 Hawaiian plumeria flowers in a bundle, with 1 hibiscus flower at the top-right, and 1 palm of a palm tree sweeping back to front on the bottom of the 4 flowers. Get it? Get it?! 3 plumerias, 1 hibiscus, 1 palm. 311! It's so subtle that if 311 does something entirely craptastically stupid that I grow to hate them with an undying passion [which will PROBABLY never happen], that I don't have a blatant 311 tattoo on my back. IT'S GENIUS I TELL YOU! :] I'm so excited.

For most of the others on my 101 list, I've come to learn that money is really sort of necessary... meaning: I need a fucking job.... still. But thanks to the economy and job market, it's really fucking hard to find one. I'm hoping that Hollywood Tans still has a position open... punching buttons on a computer can't be that difficult. Other than that, finding help wanted ads right now is just about as difficult as finding a giraffe in Lindenhurst. [For the record: Lindenhurst doesn't have a zoo... or any giraffes.]

The Presidential inaguration is coming up soon... I think it's on Tuesday? The 20th? I don't know, I'm no good at remembering dates. Though, I did remember that TODAY IS MOON'S BIRTHDAYAYAY! She's 20 now... it's weird. Now I have a few months to catch up, and be 20. There's nothing that special about turning 20 except... being 20... and not 19... and not being able to say "teen" at the end of your age... but I probably will.... I'll probably say "twenty-teen" because it'll make me feel better. :P It's weird thinking that Moon and I have been friends for just about 10 years now.

Today I'm hanging out with Jesse :D. I don't know what we're doing yet... I think tonight we're hanging with Erik. I have no clue, though.

While I'm on the computer, I should probably make a calendar so that I can do all of my 1 and 2 month commitments at the same time for my 101.
