Deadliest Catch

This blogment may seem dark and somewhat negative. It is not meant to be that way.

Here I am again, pouring my heart out to all of you.

I must first say that I wish that I could find my poetry book of my works. It has so many writings of my history, life in the making, and those times that I wish I could forget. Some are funny, some are terrifying. But, never-the-less, they are from me and my marvelous mind. (Haaaa haaaa, could not even type that with a straight face.)

:-) ;-) Hee hee!!!!! ;-) :-)

I just went looking for it, and found a picture from when I was a baby. Holy crap, I was so cute!!! I have proof that I am a natural red head. Ha! In those people's face that doubted me!

This leads me to something else. I do not have the need for telling stories that are made up or what have you. I will be the one who will tell you the truth, no matter what. Some may not like what they hear, but it will be the truth. Now, I may soften the blow by putting it out there nicely. I do not like to hurt anyone's feelings.

Now to the scholarly side of this blogment:

Academically speaking, I feel very comfortable with how well I have been doing. I was a 4.0 student until I had to go into the hospital without a laptop to continue my class work. During the two weeks in the hospital, I did my work on paper, correctly, but had no computer to perform the data entry portion. I would still be a 4.0 honor student with the exception of one class: Composition 1. Here is what happened: I had turned in my work, after getting out of the hospital, into the wrong platform. This caused my grade to go down to a "B". As of last term, I have a 3.68 GPA. I am still an honors student. I take pride in my work and I am very serious about my education. Maybe, that is why I am holding a 4.0 in both of my current classes and did so my first term. Second best is not an option! (Neither is third or more.) I am my own worst critic and always will be. I expect only the best from myself. This keeps me on my toes and striving for as close to perfection as possible. Perfection is not attainable, but, it still doesn't hurt to try, right?!!?

Here is another blog post that tells you all how crazy my mind really is:

I colored my hair yesterday. I was trying to get it back to my natural color, auburn, and I acutally came out with a dark cherry at the roots and black middle to the ends. I cannot believe it. I kind of like it, but with my pastey white skin, it is washing me out whiter! My husband told me that I milk makes me look white. Go figure! I guess I need to go get a tan, quickly! I would recolor my hair, but it could fry it. Not a good choice for me. My hair is already frizzy if I don't add product to it.

I don't know. Maybe, I will just sport the gothic look for a little while! Vampires are the new "white meat"!
 
:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) ;-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) ;-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I created this one. Let's see what else I can do! The mind is only limited by what the owner limits it to do. So, open your mind to all the possibilities!

The blogosphere is the set of weblogs on the internet. There are oodles of blogs on the internet.
The only reason that I started a blog was because it was part of my assignment for Composition 2 class. I am very thankful for my instructor, Professor Feraldi, to get me into doing this. It is great stress reliever!

According to the picture, we need to get more people on here, blogging on Blogger!

I can see me chatting with so many people, through blogging. What do you think?

The writing community will increase opportunities for research and communication--worldwide! There is only one limit to the possibility...the limit of what one's brain limits them to do.

If you get a ticket in Florida and have to take a driver improvement class or elect to go for other reasons, go to FunnyinFlorida.com to take your test. Their price is the lowest in Florida, that I found, and they make it fun and easy-to-learn.

How can you tell where a driver is from?

1. One hand on the steering wheel, one hand laying on the horn: Chicago
2. One hand on the steering wheel, middle finger out window: New York
3. One hand on the steering wheel, middle finger out window, cutting across all lanes of traffic: New Jersey
4. One hand on the steering wheel, one hand on newspaper, foot pressing the accelerator pedal to the floor: Boston
5. One hand on the steering wheel, one hand on skinny double mocha cappuccino with nonfat milk froth, cradling cell phone with head, brick on accelerator: Los Angeles
6. Both hands on the steering wheel, eyes clinched shut, both feet on brake, quivering in terror: Ohio, but driving in California
7. One hand on latte, one knee on the steering wheel, cell phone held with leaning head, foot on brake, mind on game: Seattle
8. One hand on the steering wheel, one hand on shotgun, alternating between both feet being on the accelerator and both feet on brake, throwing McDonald’s bag out the window: Texas
9. Four-wheel drive bubba truck, monster tires, 30-aught-6 mounted in rear window, budweiser or natural ice cans on floor, Rebel flag attached to antenna, fishing rod holders and beer cooler mounted on grill, dog box and hunting dogs in back, Earnhardt bumper stickers all over: Alabama, Tennessee, or Mississippi - your choice. Sometimes, the backwoods of Florida.
10. Two hands gripping the steering wheel, blue and purple hair barely visible above windshield, driving 35 on the interstate in the left lane with the left blinker on: Florida

Reasons for having a car crash: (my favorites are in red)

-I was on my way to the doctor with the rear end trouble when my universal joint gave way, causing me to have a collision.
-When I was coming home, I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don’t have.
-The other car collided with mine without giving me warning of its intentions.
-To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck the pedestrian.
-I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way.
-A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.
-The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.
-In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.
-The indirect cause of this collision was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.
-The pedestrian had no idea which direction to go, so I ran over him.
-As I approached the intersection, a stop sign appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid the collision.
-My car was legally parked as I backed into the other vehicles.
-When I saw I could not avoid a collision, I stepped on the gas and crashed into the other car.
-An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle, and vanished.
-I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the roadway when I struck him.
-I was driving my car out of the driveway in the usual manner, when it was struck by the other car in the same place it had been struck several times before.
-The telephone pole was approaching fast; I was attempting to swerve out of its path when it struck my front end.

My car is such a cheap heap!
How cheap of a heap is it?
It is so cheap that whenever I have a crash in it, I have to use my mouth to blow up the airbags!

Since I received a citation from a St Johns County Sheriff for speeding, I had to take a basic driving improvement exam to prevent points going on to my record. Well, I passed!!! It took, what seemed forever, four required hours online. The cost is kind of ridiculous, but if had not been speeding, I would have saved myself some money and the headache of all of this crap, right?

Moral to this story: Lead foot on the accelerator=hefty pay out to the law enforcement of your choice. I do not recommend it!!! Especially, if you have a suspended license in the state of Florida.

Here is the kicker, I had no idea that my license was suspended. That was a nasty way to find out. (When I moved to NC, I surrendered my Florida driver license. So, I have an active license in the state of North Carolina.) If the Easter bunny has a naughty list, I must had been on it, because I got the tickets on Easter. Ironically, if my husband was not with me with a valid license, I would have went to the "crowbar hotel" of St Johns county. This hotel is not in "my wonderful places to stay" list.

The deputy that pulled me over told me that I can drive anywhere, but in the state of Florida. (At least she was nice to me--not to my hubby though.) The irony is that I have moved back now living in the state of Florida. So, I have to correct the mishap here and get my FL license back. My old license from here had an awesome photo, too. :-) I miss driving my Tiburon!!!! (Her name is Tibbi and she is part of the reason I got pulled over: black and chrome colored, sports car--tuner, with loud music playing--almost always, has all the extras, dark tinted windows--as dark as the law allows, law enforcement attention getter--appearently.) I am on my way to getting that license back within the next thirty days, I pray!!!

I received three tickets that day. I have not had a speeding ticket in 18 years or any moving violations in 17 years and my license had "safe driver" on it. I am a great driver and I drive very defensively. Yes, I was speeding that day. But, the lady cop told me that I was doing 57 in a 35 mph zone. (I looked down at my speedometer whe I seen the sheriff's car on the wrong side of the road.) Wrong. The posted speed limit was 45 mph. I got off with a ticket that showed 10 mph over. However, at the top of my citation, she scribbled 57/35. That still ticks me off. Then, on top of that, I didn't have the right insurance card with me. Basically, the Easter Bunny brought me $500.00 worth of debts to St. Johns County, Florida. That sucked!

Here is my Holiday Horrendousness list:

2008, St. Patrick's Day--St. Johns County had a warrant for my arrest for a worthless check, I went to jail, courtesy of my exhusband. I had no idea that there was an unpaid check out there from Publix. I found out that daythat there was one! This was the cause of my current license suspension. (I didn't pay all of the court fees by the due date, of which I am still paying today.) Maybe, should have been wearing green, like I normally do on St. Patty's Day. Afterall, I am 75% Irish! I have never been to jail prior to this. However, this arrest got me to the booking department and that was it. I got out of there pretty fast! Never made it to the jail itself. Thank God!! I am morbidly scraed of going to jail. No Freedom, No Way!!! I faithfully pay my taxes, obey the law (except speeding on that day), basically try to be a model citizen. But, sometimes, life has other plans!

1997, Memorial Day, got pulled over for supposed speeding (I wasn't that time) and got a seat belt ticket. Back then, the officer had to have a reason to pull you over, other than not wearing seatbelts. Now, according to the exam I took today, they can pull you over for that and so many other reasons. If your vehicle appears or is suspected to be unsafe, they can pull you over and issue you a ticket and/or cause you to park your vehicle until it is up to safe standards.

1993, Valentine's Day, got in a wreck and was found my fault-I hit the other truck in the rear end, even though he had no running, parking, brake, or any lights at all on his rear end of his truck. It is automatically your fault in Florida. There is no way to prove there were no lights working after the crash and they assume that you were following too closely. I was not following that closely and he kept slowing down and speeding up for over two miles while I was behind him. I could not pass him, because for the traffic in the other lane. Moral for this one: do not follow closely, in the least, to the rear of another vehicle; instead of hitting the vehicle in the butt, sideswipe them or another vehicle (the state trooper told me this!).

1991, Halloween, got a speeding ticket because the cop could not get with a fix-it ticket (I fixed my tail lights). What a wiener!

The moral to this story: I am staying at home on holidays from now on!

Attention Florida drivers: if you run a red light or a stop sign, be prepared to pay out the yin yang and mandatorily go to driver school. The law just went into effect this year. Do not be in a hurry and end up paying for it!
