Time and Space

Selecting the emotions i though would come true

despair comes running but its just passing through

Baring those bones, muscle and heart

living but learning, a piece from the part

Shifting from space into the times

loosing the pace but keeping the rhyme

classifying the existence of everything in place

loosing the time but keeping the space


First week of the new puppy. Pepper is a 7 week old mini-schnauzer. Cute as hell.
She's a handful though, as most puppies are! The hard part about the puppy is you have to avoid certain habits when they are babies, so they don't get used to them when they get older and have separation anxiety or aggressive behavior. So since she's going to have to stay alone at home while we're at work, we are trying to get her used to this right away. This involves so much extra driving though to go home at lunch to check on her! She's doing great with it, although she cries a lot when I first leave her in our laundry room. Sounds like a screeching monkey. Buddy sometimes gives her a "shut up" bark to I discovered while waiting on the other side of the front door listening to see if she stops. All and all she's a smart, good-natured loving little girl. Marc and I got a lot of dog training books out of the library, and so far the best one by far has been "Before and After getting your Puppy - Dr. Ian Dunbar. " He is great and really gets into the psychology of the puppy. A couple other good tools is chew toys! Especially the ones you can stuff food in. We have found the one that is two pieces that screws together is the best. Since it's hard for her we can make it easier to get her food out.

A lollipop to anyone who knows who this is!?

My Favourite Websites

Since I spend a gi-normous amount of time at a computer (40 hrs a week!)
I have accumulated a lot of great websites I peruse through at lunch:

www.mylifeisaverage.com - this website is like reading the funny pages of a readers digest! Love it

www.failblog.com

www.buzzfeed.com - pictures and videos and new stories that are the most popular right now on the internet all in one place!

www.emailsfromcrazypeople.com - This website used to be golden, now it's lacking a bit, but the first postings are hilarious!

www.oddlyspecific.com - Great signs people have seen around the globe.

www.comixed.com - website of images randomly placed together to make comic pieces. Has its moments!

Was a Pioneer, now I'm left in the dust!

When did this all happen!?
Seems like not that long ago I was up late chatting with my friends online, trying to keep my typing quiet so that my mom wouldn't wake up from down the hall and know I had snuck out! Ah technology of that day, it was nothing more then the mIRC program downloaded to computer with chat rooms named after the town you live in.
Now even my grandma has a blog! Everyone I know has face-book (except for my grandfather). My little cousin won't even let hers be public to her "friends" for fear of persecution! (mind you at her age there is no way I'd even let my parents/family be my "friends"). Our social structure has definitely had a drastic shift hasn't it?
My co-worker who is 62 has a hard time having a conversation with me sometimes because everything can be wikipedia'd at the click of a mouse. She says she misses the old days where people just would take your word for it!
Needless to say it looks like I've started a blog again! I am going to make this a combination of my life experiences, the things I find fascinating and my "joie de vie!"
