"Anyone who says they're not afraid at the time of a hurricane is either a fool or a liar, or a little bit of both." -Anderson Cooper
Irene is coming.
It's already hit around Florida and lower parts of the Eastern Coast pretty hard. Now it's currently around Hatteras Island and the Outer Banks in North Carolina heading towards Virginia and the upper East Coast.
Virginia and North Carolina is where Irene will be making it's mark on Saturday as it keeps moving up North and it sems to be picking up speed. But it should be out of the area later this Saturday evening.
According to weather experts, Irene should be making a trip to the Jersey Shore on Sunday afternoon just in time for Sunday Dinner at the Shore House. Then is expected to be a bit more calmer heading to the Big Apple but still dangerous with wind speeds up to 75 MPH.
Early Monday morning Irene should be close around the Maine state line getting a few greeting cards before it leaves the United States and makes the trip into Canada. Experts believe the Category 1 Hurricane should become demoted to a tropical storm by this point; we can only hope so.
Just wanted to say that I hope you people are safe and prepared if you are in Irene's path. Thankfully, it changed to a Category 1 Hurricane instead of the Category 3 it started as; hopefully that's a great sign that everything will be fine during the storm.
Don't do anything stupid such as making a trip to the beach. Seriously? There's a storm out with about 75 MPH winds. Pretty sure you can wait on working on your tan or playing some beach soccer for a few days.
Be safe people.

"You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down." -Mary Pickford
It's beautiful day out here...besides the hurricane coming this way and Steve Jobs stepping down from Apple, everything seems to be just peachy.
Oh, and besides college classes starting again.
Yes, it's that wonderful time of the year where young adults that graduated high school recently fear and the people that's been around the local campus parties here and there have all been waiting for! College classes started with a bang at and I'm not referring to the aftershocks felt all around the East Coast.
Some freshmen are starting a journey to find what they want to do for a career throughout the thousands of choices available at their local lecture halls and libraries. Take it from me...it can get a little overwhelming at first; but what's a journey without sights to be seen along the way?
Then there are the upper class batch of kids that are focusing on what they want on that fancy piece of paper known as a degree and working towards it. Some are having success, others have a few bumps in the road. But don't get sidetracked!!Nothing is easy...especially at the college level. Some professors give you more leeway...ridiculous amounts sometimes; it's because they aren't your parents. They want you to succeed (seriously) but they aren't going to pamper you like you are their firstborn...that's what your parents are for.
Keep up with your assignments, make sure you actually attend your classes (even if you are fighting a hangover after last night's party), take some time to study and your college experience should go a little more smoothly. That is until Finals where every person does daily CRAM sessions... Other than that, go get them As and maybe a few Bs!!
So for all those that are starting college up...I wish you the very best in whatever it is that you decided to do career-wise. Whether your a freshman looking for answers or a person working on your Masters, I wish you the best on your academic quest.
Hopefully there won't be any Level 40 Corrosive Brutes in your way. That's would just be odd...
Remember...in order to succeed, you gotta have the confidence along with the work to prove that you belong.
P.S. Make sure you also get away from the books for a little while during your semester...after all it is college. Enjoy yourself.

It's the middle of the week.
Don't run out of steam now!

Been awhile since I've done one of these... ;)
In a world that seems to be full of a negativity.
It may difficult for people to just be.
Constant battles on the world stage,
Leaving earth-shattering pains for numerous days.
Going through without a voice or even allies.
Fighting, grinding, surviving to get by.
They think that this is living…it’s been their life.
Instead of security, their protection is to fight.
Refusal of becoming another casualty in the street.
Working towards being something great.
Breaking down the walls, pumping up the bass.
Just fighting to get out of this place.
Doubt, discouragement, and jealousy fill the rotten air.
Hatred creeping in to change the golden view they stare.
Making a few changes to modify it to mush.
Looking as if it’s a new batch for the local city dump.
What’s this? The trick doesn’t seem to be working.
Doesn’t seem to be effective at all…
Oh my…levels reached maximum capacity.
Rage against those that are interrupting thee.
They’re not at the finish yet. One day they will be.
And the trash will be left on the sidelines of the track.
Finally reaching their destination. The mission is complete.
They have arrived. They ain’t coming back.
Break The Walls.
What if Weekends Never Existed?

"All work and no play makes the weekend dull and boring. Might as well press fast forward on the weekend and be Monday already." -Kazie
For some reason as I finished one of my beverages at the bar I thought of this question; see the interesting things that pop in a human brain when under the influence?
But seriously think about it...what if we only had 5 days of the week instead of the regular 7?
Which means TGIF would probably have less enthusiasm and joy since we would just go to sleep and come right back in since the usual Friday, Saturday, and Sunday trifecta disappeared. No more weekend BBQs with friends and or family, trips with the clique to Dance Central in your town, or just sitting on the porch under the stars on a Sunday evening.
Whoa...that's scary to think about.
People...take advantage of what's given to us. We have 7 days to enjoy ourselves but the weekend's main purpose is to just kick loose and be laid back because we deserve to have a little fun in our lives.
There are millions of ways to enjoy the week but we as humans live for the weekend.
