Paranormal Activity

So, last night I saw Paranormal Activity... It was the scariest movie I have ever seen. Possibly due to the documentary type film and from having my own experiences somewhat similar to the movie... Except for probably the last half hour... Which I am thankful for. I would definitly recommend this movie but if you don't believe in the paranormal, don't bother. The people next to me and in front of me would not stop commenting on the movie throughout the show. It was horrible to pay for a movie when your sitting next to people that don't like it and won't stop talking! My party had to move over but we could still hear them talking. Be polite next time you go to the movies and whisper or just shut up! LOL. The movie would have been scarier if people weren't talking. I will definitly have to rent the movie and watch it in the quiet privacy of my own home.

Looking For New Clients

I just recently started working at Scandals Full Service Salon. I am a hairstylist with 3 years experience looking for some new clients. I am offering discounts in order to build a new clientel. I worked at Beauty Connection for 2 years and had a great clientel but lost them when I left the salon. Most salons don't let you take your clients with you (they don't give you your clients info). I also worked at Regis for 8 months but with the new mall hours, I lost time that I could have worked there which made it not worth it. So, I am starting fresh, I make my own prices, the salon I am in is relaxed and hip. The girls that work here are really nice. I am offering $15 haircuts and 25% off haircolor services. You can call the salon to make an appointment or call me directly. I can fit you into my schedual and I am willing to make late appointments aswell. Scandals number is 442-7700 and my cell is 672-2029.

From the Heart

I really miss my family and all the family gatherings we use to have. It's ashame that we have all moved apart and I hope to create a family that can stay as close as we use to be. Every Christmas, we would get the family together and have a brunch buffet and Grandma's house and open presents. The presents were nice but the best part was having everyone there. It seems that as you grow up, things aren't as wonderful as they always seemed. You become less satisfied and don't like celebrating things because they aren't anything like what they were before. Every time you get your hopes up and get let down when you knew in the first place that it was going to happen. My whole family lived in San Diego, then I moved away, farther and farther every couple of years... Due to my mother and her fiance, so not by choice. Then my grandmother moved from San Diego to Texarkana, Arkansas. She was the heart of the family, but now she's so far away. I still live in Eureka, where my mother, stepfather, and I ended up. And now after they finally got married after 19 years of being engaged, have taken the steps to get divoriced (only married a year). So, my mother is in hiding, avoiding my phone calls, I don't mind seeing my stepfather (after all he did raise me), but he is really down right now and I would like to be more positive. Its hard not being around family, especially because the holidays are coming up and I really want family around. It's nice having get togethers. I miss having that warm loving feeling you get during the holidays when you are surrounded by people that love you. I really want that for my daughter too.

Car Registration Costs

Wow! I got my car registration renewal and its $338! That is $100 more than it was last year!... So, everyone, since we are in a recession, lets go ahead and raise costs that most people have to pay so we can pay our debt. This is rediculous. People are having a hard enough time as it is, I don't think we need anymore bills. I don't see how everyone is going to be able to keep their vehicles this year and the next. Normally when your bill is too high, there is someone to complain to and you will most likely get it lowered... But when it comes to the government, they get to do whatever the hell they want!

Unfair

This was an email to me from my dad...

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves. ......Abraham Lincoln
