Update on Life

So, here I am, giving you an update on life. Everything seems to be in order. On July 11th, I plan on visiting Chicago. The landscaping and big buildings, and the river seem to keep be interested. Of course, I plan on taking my camera with me. One of the biggest things that I will have on my mind will be Trump International. Something I'm really interested in, and something I plan on visiting. So, that's about it. I will upload pics from the trip eventually. God speed.

2 Weeks INTO The Celebrity Apprentice

Well... What do ya think? Do you like Rod Blagojevich's political chatter? Darryl Strawberry's mature talk? Curtis Stone's spicy attributes? Michael Johnson's smart skills? Bret Michael's short fuse? Bill Goldberg's loud ass voice? Sharon Osbourne's british attitude? Cyndi Lauper's blonde moments? Summer Sanders' selling abilities? Holly-Robinson Peete's get the point across attitude? Maria Kanellis' tough bones? AND Selita Ebank's model behavior???

I've gathered ALL of this in just two episodes. The first episode was the diner task where Carol Leifer was fired for NOT being a team follower, and then the second episode where Sinbad was fired for being a BAD project leader. So either you get fired for being a bad leader or a bad team follower. What is in Mr. Donald J Trump's eyes? Perhaps Rod Blagojevich's come back to help him and help America see that Rod is truly a nice guy. Nice, but a criminal. Needless to say.

So what's next for The Celebrity Apprentice? Will Rod Blagojevich FINALLY step up? Will Cyndi Lauper get a grip on life? Will Summer Sanders open her mouth and be a follower? Will Selita Ebanks' smile and show she's a nice girl??? We'll see next week until the finale in May, 2010.

2010 Earthquakes

I just wanted to express my concern about the Earth's earthquakes. I know it's ridiculous to think about and I know there's nothing that anyone can do. It's mother nature... But so far this year, 2010, there has been three major earthquakes.

January 12th - Haiti - 250,000 Deaths

Feburary 27th - Chile - 497 Deaths

March 8th - Turkey - 41 Deaths

I understand that there is A LOT more earthquakes with more damage, but with deaths, this is what's going on. Now, April is coming up. Will North America be affected?

Plus & Minus (Good & Bad things)

+ Paid off my car last month

- Got a flat tire the next day

+ Celebrated my 22nd Birthday

- Didn't get to do or go where I wanted for it

+ Things with Jesse and myself are a bit better

+ Continuing my workout at the gym

- Skipping my meal shakes

+ Completed the 3rd shift "Action Alley" Project

- Took too long for the project and my sleeping schedule got messed up

+ Got a new cell phone & number

- No one calls me


That's just the positives and negatives going on right now in my life. Things overall are about a 7 outta 10. I mix my business & personal life together and I'm 70% happy right now. The other 30% is missing friends and the lack of meeting someone special. It's also about family and how I don't spend enough time with them, let alone see them. That's about it. Maybe next week my 70% will exceed. Doubt it. Opps, just lost 5% on that remark.

Life, Death, The World

Life. Can you define it? Scientists define life as a chemical accident. An accident you ask? If it was an accident creating life, what was the original outcome? What was the main project? A chemical accident. Chemicals? As in, amino acids and metabolism? Life is one of those bold terms that we always here about and complain about. Oh, life sucks. Life is so hard. Life is so unfair. Fuck my life. Life is something to be respected and appreciated. Yes, appreciated. Life is something where you don't know if it'll end today or tomorrow. It could end anytime. At any point. That's why while you're living in this life, you should appreciate your family, friends, and the fortune that life built up for you. I had so many friends who have had the life taken from them. They are now dead. They experienced life and death. People say oh, death is apart of life. Well, if life was a chemical accident, did death follow it? Once life was created on accident, death was followed. So now, we have life and death. The two essentials in this world. The world. Life, Death, and the world. The point of this entry is to make sure you understand that life and family is something to be appreciated. So, take each day and be proud before you face death. Then what? Another accident waiting to happen.. again?

AMERICAN IDOL!

Cheers! This post is to acknowlege the great men and women of American Idol! I can't believe that I work full-time, and yet I did manage to catch every single episode. Evidentally, tomorrow night, the Feb. 16th, American Idol will have it's FINAL 24. To be exact, that's 12 MEN and 12 WOMEN. So, it's going to be very exciting! Now, if you ask me whom I think will be this year's 2010 winner of American Idol, I do have an answer for you. Mary Powers. I have decided that's whom I picked to win it all. I love the fact that she SCREAMS into the microphone, and yet, she manages to pull off a fabulous song and wonderful voice. I really can relate to her in many ways. Her life dealing with her family and what not. But, yes, that's who I pick. And what about yours? This post is rather sad since it's SO short. But hey, what can you do? Take care.

I Want To Write A Novel

I want to write a novel. Someday. Someday soon. I want this novel to be about people and how they are involved with each other. And I want them to live in a small community, somewhere in the woods. Here's what I have so far. Random spot in my notes... Enjoy.

Jessica stopped suddenly and asked herself, "How could this be? This isn't right." It was stunning to her, that she NEVER got lost in the River Falls Woods. One moment the trail was in front of her, and the next, she finds herself alone, somewhere dark, off the trail. She panicked.
"This ISN'T right", she demanded again. But Jessica always knew that when their's a will, their's a way. She continued forward, hoping it would run into her Gramma's trailor. After an hour or so, it seemed, she FINALLY came across some familar territory. The road that lead up to her Gramma's.
"Thank God", she pleaded. It wasn't everyday, that when you take a hike to blow off some steam, you get lost. But, the worst was over, or it seemed.

I really don't know if that's something you would want to continue reading. But basically, the novel is in it's very beginning stages. The idea is still up in the air. It's about this girl named Jessica, who lives up north in the country woods, with her Gramma. She is going to college to be a lawyer. Later, she gets pregnant, and has to make a huge decision. More is to it, of course, but for now, it's a really good novel, no? Thanks for reading.

The Celebrity Apprentice 3 - March 14th

If you are seeing the image above, you are probably thinking what's it about. First of all, most of you will catch the glimpse of Donald Trump. Some others will catch Sharon Osbourne. And yet, some others will even catch Cyndi Lauper. Now, I'll tell ya what this is. It's the cast for this year's 2010 Celebrity Apprentice. It's the 3rd installment to the series. It's technically the 9th season, but 3rd celebrity involvement. It's very exciting. It starts up again on NBC on March 14th. So, be sure to watch and see who stays and who goes, hires and fires by Mr. Donald J Trump. Below is listed the entire cast.

Rod Blagojevich, Sharon Osbourne, Daryl Strawberry, Curtis Stone, Sinbad, Cyndi Lauper, Bret Michaels, Bill Goldberg, Summer Sanders, Holly Robinson Peete, Maria Kanellis, Carol Leifer, Selita Ebanks, and Michael Johnson.

It will be VERY interesting and my pick to win is Rod Blagojevich. Even though many don't like him because of his political background. We'll find out.

3 Years Later

Hello All. Don't ASK where I've been. I know it's been 3 whole years! Isn't that something? Well, let me tell you. I've made a lot of changes in my life. From friends and personal relationships to career changes. I NO longer work or have any part of Shoe Carnival Inc. I left because the store I was working at decided to CLOSE and OPEN in Illionis. Sure, they offered me a position down there, but I couldn't leave my family here in Wisconsin. Family & friends that is. Now, I offically work for Wal-Mart. I have been for almost 2 years. It's exciting. It really is. I enjoy the customers and the people and what not. It's a lot of people to work with, 300+ people of all shifts. Haha, so it's very exciting.

This picture that I enclosed is actually what I look like now. You can scroll all the whole to the bottem, where my first entry was, and now this is an updated picture. I can tell you, I lost 15 pounds or so, it's again, very exciting. Other than that, nothing is really new. Just the people I've met & lost in the past couple years has literally changed my life. I'm happy where I am in life right now, and I hope it will continue to be true.

LIVE LIFE!

Hello. I'm finally on to make another post. I will call it "Another Inspiration." I've been frequently on this new site, www.connexion.com and it's a great site to meet local or national people who are just like you. Well, I created an account the other day, and it's really neat because there is a chat room where you can chat with anyone whose online. Anyway, today, I was chatting with this guy named Tim. He wasn't like the others. He was so nice and so kind, I thought all those people didn't exsist anymore. We shared expierences with each other, and he gave me all kinds of advice. He told me that I should stop being so hidden inside of myself, and I should step open into the real world and live life. The two most important words: LIVE LIFE. I don't know how I met this guy, Tim, but he's really cool and I hope to chat with him again. Just for you people on blogger...here's an awesome quote from him about love...Thanks everyone!

"Love should be like a dance. A dance that doesn't always fit. A dance that when you fall down, your partner is there to pick you up, even if they don't catch you." - Tim DeSanti

Trump Tower Chicago

Hello - Just decided that I'm going to write about The Trump International Hotel and Tower, and I'm very exicted to reveal that I'm going to the GRAND OPENING! It will be in Feburary of 2008 and I'm super excited. I guess Mr. Donald J. Trump will be there himself, so might as well go and see what I can get myself into. I'm not booking a stay or anything, I just wanted to see the luxury hotel and residential/sales building myself. I've been there in May of 2007 and saw the tower, just half up. But now in February, I'm going to see the entire building, especially the inside!! I'm taking a road trip possibly by myself, however, I really should drive with somebody. So, who knows? Take care. -Chris

Trump Magazine

Hello everyone. I wanted to take today out for a special blog entry. I wanted to talk a little about Donald J. Trump's magazine which debuted in Fall of 2004. It wasn't a surprise that he called it, "Trump Magazine." I personally love it, and own 2 issues myself. I love the brillant ads he has inside and the unique pictures it beholds, and I especially love how Heidi Bressler is the NY Regional Sales Manager for the magazine. I'm sadened to say that "Trump Magazine" has failed. It's no longer being sold. It has been taken out from magazines.com and everywhere else. Here's a quote by some salesman...

"Sales were reportedly good for Trump, especially for a new title with a 50-cent cover price, then considered high. But the project was ill-fated.The magazine featured glossy (and costly) production standards, and had the misfortune of debuting at the same time that a financial crunch forced publisher Hefner to scale back his non-Playboy publishing interests. This put an end to Trump before the magazine ever got the chance to develop a steady readership."

So, basically it was put to an end. Sadly, there will be no more "Trump Magazine." Oh man... So, take care, and hope to update sometime tomorrow. Thanks for reading and have a good day!

AT LEAST HE STILL HAS HIS VODKA!!

My Lovely Job

Hey All - It's been a great Tuesday. I worked from 10-5, and usually on Tuesdays, we make holes for the upcoming shipment coming in the next day, on Wednesday. I love making holes because I don't have to worry about where to put things, when not making them. Holes are small or large gaps that are left in aisles for new and old shipment arrival. It makes things easy and the shipment to be placed neater. Anyway, today I was doing my holes. BTW - I work at Shoe Carnival, as you noticed on my nice, neat banner on the top. It's a sales/retail store that specializes in the top name brands of shoes for Mens, Womans, and Childrens. I love my job, and the people I work with. Here's another photo of inside the store....

It's really near. The wheel is there and everything....Have fun...Later.

Something Significant

Hello, it is Sunday, and I decided to write about something significant that has happened within the past year. Last May, my family and I went to Chicago, IL to visit the downtown area. It was really neat to see the tall skyscrapers and the lake front. Both were really amazing. Most Importantly, we had to see the new Trump International Hotel and Tower building, which is still in the process of being built. I took hundreds of pictures, and really wanted to touch the building, but unfortunitly, it was gated off. I really like things Trump does with his life, and I really can't wait for his new building to be completed. (Fall 2007?) Anyway, this is just one picture I took from the top of the Sears Tower. It really is amazing, and I can't believe I went through with it all. The elevator up was almost 100 stories, and I can't imagine I actually did it. About the 60th story, my ears were actually popping. It's amazing, and that's all I'm going to say about it. Have fun. Take care, until later.
