The" L" word

Love is beautiful, love is kind, love is a wonderful feeling to feel.  And there is different types of love.  There is love for your family and friends, and there is love for your significant other.  Though we don't say "I love you" enough and we should say it more.  You don't know when its the last time you'll see them again, so let them know that you love them.  Also don't be afraid to say it because of what other people say or think.  It takes more courage to say "I love you" in front of your friends.  But what do they say instead..."I really like you."  I can see you saying it to someone you have a crush on, or trying to go on a date with someone.  But to someone you've known for a long time, or been with a long time don't just say "I like you" or "I really like you."   It makes the person you're with feel that you are embarrassed to be with them if you can say the words "I love you." it in front of your friends or other people.  And none of the "You know what I mean" or  the "by this, you mean this"...NO!  Because you are just making up a reason why you can't say it.  Just say the words!  And if people say something, then they are jealous because they don't have someone to say those amazing words, or too scared to say it

I love my work, I love my friends, I love my family, I love my boyfriend and I don't care who sees it or what they think of it.  I have these feelings and I'm going to let them known!  And if you are afraid to say it because of the thought "What might my friends think" or "My friends might think I'm a sissy"  try thinking that maybe they are jealous of the fact that you have someone to say it to, or that you have the courage to say it to them and don't care what others think.

This fall

Okay, I just sign up for my online class for the fall.  I'm taking ECE 201 SUPERVISION AND ADMINISTRATION Of CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS.  It starts the 22nd and it ends Oct 15. This class is the type where the only offer it so many times and then you have to wait a few years until they offer it again, and I don't know when they offer it again.  I thought I miss my chance to take that class because they offered it last spring.  I've had people come up to me and asked "Why are you taking more, aren't you finish with school?"  Well yes and no.  I've just finished and got my A.S. degree in ECE.  But most places at different daycare require a teacher permit.  I want to go for the highest teacher permit for a daycare and go for the master teacher permit.  A master teacher gets to work with lab students and I figure it will help me mange a classroom of my own, once I get my own classroom.  Plus it means more money, and by having a master teacher permit will make me look good and gives me an edge over some of the others that are trying to go for the same thing.  I'm really excited to start my class and get my master teacher permit and hopefully to get my own classroom. 


I guess there is a moral of this short story and that is to don't settle with less.  If you get the chance to do something great, go for it!  Because you don't know when you can get your chance like that to do something to move you ahead in life.

Parenthood

I've just saw on the yahoo homepage a thing saying about how a mom was going to jail because her 4 year old son jaywalked and got hit.  I'm sure it was an accident, but that is just bad parenting for two reasons.  Reason number one, did she teach her child to jaywalk, did she teach him to use the cross walks and what the signs mean?  Reason number two, where were you when your kid was crossing the street?  Accident or not, you have to be more attentive to your kid and you should be punish.

This also made me think of the Casey Anthony case.  How she murder her daughter and then made the cops go on a wild goose chase.  It just seems odd that they found stuff like how to break someone's neck, and ect...and didn't say anything for a month.  Told the cops that her kid was kidnap by a nanny.  There was no such person.  Also the other cases about parents killing their children.  Like that one mother who locked her kids in the car and drove it in the river, and they drowned.  It just...do I dare say it...grinds my gears that these people that have children, and they decide that its too much for them and they don't want to do it anymore.  It isn't the child's fault that you got knocked up and it is going to ruin your party time.  There is other ways if you weren't ready to be a parent, there's other things, abortion or adoption.  No child should be murdered because you didn't want to be parent anymore because you stop finding it fun.  There are people who want to have kids and for some reason they can't have one of their own and wish they could.

Pity Party

I'm sure everyone, or almost everyone that has a facebook knows what my rant will be about.  I've mostly seen young women doing this, although I have seen a few guys making similar posts.  But it drives me crazy how people post something that sounds like something out of a motivation poster.  For example, I've seen some girls posting something like this "I am not hot or gorgeous.  I don't have an amazing figure or flat stomach.  I'm not far from being a model, but I'm me...", "I'm never going to find someone that is going to love me, I'm not good enough for love, I'm a horrible person",  or one of my favorites "It's amazing how much pain you hold inside without letting anyone know you're hurting :("  (Yes, these are actual post I've seen.  Though I've changed it up a bit; just in case someone sees it and then know who I'm talking about)

You know the type of people are the ones that have well to do families and they get everything they want, and when their parents start acting like parents, then that is a problem and they start throwing a fit because that isn't fair because they actually have to start earning a living like most people do.  They are the type of people that make a post about it, sharing to their friends about their problems which isn't a problem most of the time. And the only reason they post their problems on facebook so someone will asked them the what is the deal.  And more and likely they are freaking out because they probably think something horrible has happened like someone is in the hospital or someone lost a loved one.  So the supportive, caring  friends will ask "whats wrong" or "that isn't fair" or "if you need anything, I'm here"  and they also try to cheer up the little wanna be emo, and the little brat will reply "you don't understand, you'll never get me"  Well that was a nice little slap to the face

I know some will say, well don't read them or block their post so you don't have to see it.  But like I said before, its a ranting blog, so you don't have to read it either ;)  But all I have to say is that instead of posting your so called problems just so you can have people feel sorry for you and then have the nerve to say they don't "get" you, how about going out there and fix the problem, or try to fix it, so your life isn't that bad as you claim it to be.  Just remember that there is always one person that have it much worse than you do.  Try looking at the bright side life.  If you have people that care enough to call you or message you to check on you because they saw something and the got worried, jut remember that at least you have friends, and that you have a home, a computer and everything else that a lot of people don't have.  So stop being such an ungrateful little brat and start being thankful for what you do have and stop crying over what you don't.  It might do you some good.

Moochers

Yesterday, I've talked to both my friend, and my boyfriend and we were talking about moochers and how much they suck!  I understand that the job market does suck because no one is hiring and that making money is hard.  But to assume that someone is going to pay for you when you go out.  Its not cool to say "hey lets go here to get something to eat."  as you pick a pricey place to eat and making it seem like you are going to pay for yourself, and then come out (after placing your order of the most expensive thing they have) to say "Oh by the way, I don't have any money on me."  That isn't cool at all.  It puts people on the spot, and it makes them feel bad because they don't want to look like the bad guy, but making them very angry at the same time.

Other types of moocher are the ones that assume they can come over your place and the start using your stuff like the kitchen, video games, ect...and have the nerve to make up bullshit lies like saying you were with someone when you know damn well that you weren't.  And the only thing you can say "I don't know"  Wow...didn't know you are that stupid.

Well, I don't like moochers very much and really, they need to stop...because they are going to find themselves realizing that people are going to get sick of it and then they are going to cut you off.  So its time to start fending yourself a bit more and stop hitting people up for money or their stuff.  GROW UP MOOCHERS

Jealousy

Okay I know that they say that jealousy is an ugly thing, but I can't help getting pissed off when I see three horrible trouble making twits posting stuff on my boyfriend's stuff!  I know I can't say anything to them because I don't know them and they are his friends; and he does have the right to be friends to who ever he wants to be, even though they can all fall off of a cliff.  Every time I see them communicate with him...I can't help to feel really angry and wanting to cry.  I know girls like them and they are not good news.  I have to just suck it up, smile like nothing is wrong and bottle up this feeling of I'm going to kick some butts.  I hate it and there is nothing to do, but to cry.  I know hate is a very strong word, but I'm not afraid to say that I do! 

One phrase, one word

There are a lot of  people that have one word, or phrase that drive them insane.  Some people hate the word like, maybe because there is so many people use that word in between other words.  Example: "So like I went to the mall and like saw a cute shirt and like tried it on and like my bff is like no way..."  Yeah, I can see how that can make anyone go insane.  I was going crazy just typing it out. Ha!  Some reasons why people don't like a word, or a phrase is because it reminds them of something they don't like, or a horrible experiences to that word or phrase.  Some words and phrases people don't like, or people hate with a passion.  There are words and phrases that I don't care for or bug me a little, but not to the point of hate.  But there are two things that people say or type that just kind of bug me a little more so.  I don't like it when people type out "K" or "KK" and "So much win."  Don't get me wrong, it isn't where you say or type it out, I'm going to chop your head off with an ax like some people would be if you say the word or phrase they didn't like.  Its more that I just give a sigh and say "Really?"

With the "K" or "KK" response just kind of bugs me a little more so.  I don't see how typing that is faster than typing out "ok" as if typing out "okay" is too long.  I know a few people that type "K" response.  It's just plain laziness.  I don't like reading it to a response, even reading in my head...I feel kind of stupid reading it.  I'm not saying people should stop using it by any means.  After all this is a ranting blog ^_^

The other is a phrase that just kind of bugs me a little more so is "so much win"  I get it, the words "epic", "epicness", "awesome", "awesomeness", and other words with a similar meanings does get over played and just finding another way to say how epic something is.  And to be honest the reason why I don't care for the phrase is because of one person.  Once more I will not name names because one, that isn't cool, and also I don't want to hurt feelings.  But anyway I only seen her post it once on my boyfriend's wall or something and after seeing that, I notice he has been saying it more.  The reason why it bugs me is because I really think she is a home wrecking trouble maker.  She is always hang out with my boyfriend...a lot...and she has no problem being over at his room and being all over him.  That bugs me.  I want to scream at her saying that "He isn't your boyfriend, he does have a girlfriend and it isn't you!  Get lost!." she is using him, and other guys just to get to their stuff or to get what she wants.  It bugs the hell out of me...it really does!  I hate girls that uses guy; that isn't cool at all, but that will be another blog ;).  And when he says it, it bugs me because if he is saying it more, I think that they are hanging out a lot and she is being a big influence on him.   And it worries me because she seems to be the type that don't care for other people's relationships and its all about her...so that is why I don't really care for that phrase at all.  Just because of one little tramp

GAH!!!

I was helping my brother fill out an app for the Elephant Bar online because he is done with his job at Farrell's.  So I get over half way done filling out this app.  I told him to fill out the info about his past job's.  I came back to see that instead of opening a new window to get some of the info, he uses the same window that the app was on.  So everything has been deleted and have to start over again.  I got mad at him and told him what were you thinking.  He gets mad at me....GAHH!!!  But its not the worse of it.  He has been really moody for the past few months, and its driving everyone crazy.  He hates his job at Farrell's and it seems to be an excuse to act like a jerk to everyone.  Its called the working world!  You are not going to find a lot of jobs out there that is going to be perfect!  You have to put up with a lot of b.s. just to make a little money, but it is better than nothing and they are people out there who don't have a job who are willing to take it.  I love hearing how people hate their jobs and that they want to quit.  But the job market sucks and I know that most of the managers are real jerks, but when there isn't really any jobs, you kind of have to suck it up, and build a thicker skin.

I feel much better =)

Racists Thoughts

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans, etc. And then there are just - Americans. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You Call me "White boy," "Cracker," "Honkey," "Whitey," "Caveman," And that's OK. But when I call you Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink, You call me a racist.

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live? You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Hispanic History Month. You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Asian History Month. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi. You have Yom Hashoah. You have Kawanza. You have the NAACP. And you have BET.  If we had WET (White Entertainment Television) We'd be racists.

If we had a White Pride Day You would call us racists. If we had White History Month. We'd be racists. If we had any organization for only whites to "advance"OURlives, We'd be racists. We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that? If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships You know we'd be racists.

There are over 60 openly-proclaimed Black-only Colleges in the US , yet if there were "White-only Colleges" THAT would be a racist college. In the Million-Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights. You would call us racists. You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and red, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride. You call us racists.! You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer who is running from the LAW and  posing a threat to ALL of society.  You call him a racist. I am proud. But, you call me a racist. Why is it that only whites can be racists?

A little about me

Well, this is my first post.  Well I guess I will start off telling you a little bit about myself.  My name is Ashley and I work at a daycare center at College of the Canyons.  Also I just graduated from College of the Canyons with my Associates of Science Degree in Early Childhood Ed.  I've been working at the center soon to be 3 years and I love my job.  I graduated from Valencia High School and was in the marching band for all 4 years of it.  I was the nobody in high school.  I only had a few friends which most were in marching band.  But enough of that...

After graduating high school I started working at Walmart and ran into a long time friend from Jr. High school at La Mesa, Heather.   Working at Walmart was fun...while it lasted.  As soon of the cool mangers left, we got some really bad ones.  So it started getting real bad working there.  Heather and I met some new friends that some we still keep in touch with and some not so much.  I also met Mike, at first he was really nice...at first.  Went on one date, which was nice.  But things turn for the worse and I didn't realize it.  Every time we would go on lunch together, I paid for everything, he didn't communicate a whole lot, and to top it off he stood me up twice!...What a keeper...After a whole month of not hearing from him, also a week of before my birthday, I heard that he was with another girl.  So I called him leaving a message asking him what was going on.  I get a myspace message from him that it was over and the whole "its not you, its me..." b.s.  So I was heartbroken for awhile.

After a year at Walmart, I left my job to focus on school.  I started taking some ECE classes and fell in love with it.  I decided that I want to be a teacher and did everything in my power to make it happen.  I ran into one of my high school friends and at one time crush, Chris.  We started talking more and hang out a few times.  I was helping him with his ex...who will remain nameless because she a nut job!  He invited me to Fright Fest back when he use to work at Six Flags.  Then him and another friend, Pollard invited me and Jenny to see Chris Rock.  Just before school started for the fall, he asked me to see a movie with him.  After the movie he drove me home.  On the way home he asked me to be his girlfriend.  And the rest is history...almost 3 years together!!!! <3

A week after Chris asked me out, I get a call from my new boss at College of the Canyons daycare center to start working there.  I'm still working there with the 2 and 3 year olds and I love my job!   I have been there for 3 years now!

Now:

Chris is going to school is going to Humboldt State University and it is coming to our second year of being in a long distance relationship.  We had many bumps in the road, but we manged to make it work.  I'm saving up and trying to find a daycare center to work up there also a cheap little place to live up there, while he tries to find a job as well.  Our plan is to move into next summer and we are hoping to make it work....
