Rest In Peace beautiful <\3Her death has been keeping me up lately. I mean it's 3:30 am and there are so many "what ifs...." running through my head.<br />
<br />
The last time I saw her was Friday night when Laina came over late around 6. I wasn't feeling good and was in bed and heard Conner playing Super Smash Bros. I heard Conner say "Laina" and heard Lainas voice and looked down and saw the kiddo. Usually I'd play a few games with them but I was really weak and laid back down. A while later I heard Mel's voice "Come on 'love' we got to go home'.I raised my head and saw her and she asked" Hey... You okay?".... "Just tired...but what's new"<br />
<br />
"Well... Hope you feel better"... She would always say that to anyone who wasn't feeling good or had a cold or was really sick. When she found out Amanda was throwing up she told Amanda that. 'Feeling better'.... I guess that was always something she wanted. To feel better.... to be happy.....without the pain, hurt and frustration.<br />
<br />
There are so many' what ifs..' going through my head right now. What if I had gotten out of bed to hug Mel?<br />
Sunday night we had a cake for Vicky. Me and Kenny went to Baskin Robbins. What if we had invited Melanie over that night?<br />
What if I had held off driving Kenny to Jane's Monday morning and walked over instead to see her? What if I told Buddy about that conversation Mel and I had back in March?<br />
<br />
I'm frustrated.... and angry at her. For leaving friends....for leaving family..... two beautiful kids who adored and loved her.<br />
<br />
She had so much to live for!!<br />
<br />
When someone dies due to old age or a terminal illness you expect it. You make plans for family members. Preparations. It's what I kept prompting Vicky to do with Sue. Sue was not getting any younger. Tim was a surprise. I didn't expect that. I figured he would have made it another two more years at least. Becky I was in disbelief. She was a total shock for me.<br />
<br />
I guess I have mixed feelings now about people who want to end it. I don't like using the words 'commit suicide' because it...<br />
1. Sounds like you're a criminal and...<br />
2. You're dehumanizing the person<br />
3. You place suicide on an emotional level (which it is) when you use 'end their lives'<br />
<br />
People just want the pain to end. They're not really wanting to end their own lives. But it's the only way to stop the agony and pain.<br />
Yeah. You get to a place where it hurts so much it's unbearable. I've been there for a moment back in 2012. Walking towards Ecity at 6:30am trying to make it to Office Max. Here I am walking from Windfall... didn't have a car....walking 12 miles to a job that paid 9.50/hr.I felt like such a loser. I saw the woods and said 'fuck this shit' but my feet kept staying on the road.<br />
<br />
There's a moment when you don't care about anything. You just want the hurt to stop. But then... ever so briefly you think of loved ones. You think about family, your kids... your brother and sisters. It's when nothing you can think about but the pain and when it overtakes every single fiber in you.... That's when you've made the decision and follow through. When you live hurt & pain and there's nothing else. I guess that's how Mel went through with it.<br />

It sickens me that not only someone will be so mean, cruel, and heartless to bully another, but that in her Youtube video Amanda had been reaching out to anyone fir help in her. Where someone could have reached out to her. To be there for her.
I'm not talking about the "be strong...keep your head up" comments. She had needed soneone to talk to....she needed a friend to tell her she was beautiful.....that she was actually loved.
I dunno....this just sickens ne. If anybody...ANYBODY I know is bulliied I promise I will be therefor you.....anytime.

I' m reading this and some are like "it's only a movie...get over it"
"Jack was stupid" "Rose was cold hearted not allowing Jack on the raft"<br />
Okay..I admit. I cried watching this scene. Sure it\'s only a movie. It\'s all visual effects and great acting, however when one sacrifices his life for another....thats the greatest love.<br />
Think about the boyfriends/husbands in the Aurora CO shootings. They instantly covered thier loved ones to protects them for the bullets.
.<br />
Think about the heros on Flight 93 on 9/11. They heard about the other planes hitting the World Trade Centers and took action, knowing if they didn\'t more on the ground could die.. Sure its a movie, but in real life people sacrifice thier lives every day for others...it\'s the ultimate show of love.Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00031745971440307410noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725744624903003050.post-25951881023325567432012-08-20T00:58:00.004-04:002012-08-20T01:00:04.006-04:00Kelly. Someone I admire on YoutubeI've known Kelly on Youtube for bout 5 months now. She's a beautiful girl who's got alot of baggage and problems. I guess not unlike we have in life.<br />
<br />
But she's pretty brave going out and showing everyone a glimpse into her little world. I admire that. My heart goes out to her. I would do anything to give her a hug.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J_396Gw8JRM/UBLdWEWuGmI/AAAAAAAAIeg/tBRnIOBvspU/s1600/120716091210-jilted-dad-sad-girl-story-top.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J_396Gw8JRM/UBLdWEWuGmI/AAAAAAAAIeg/tBRnIOBvspU/s320/120716091210-jilted-dad-sad-girl-story-top.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I'm not sure about feeling "jilted", but as a dad to a daughter I can certainly relate to this article. Daddys little girl is grown up now,with a husband and 2 year old son. As a teen she was growing up quick and a boyfriend who dad was watching like a hawk.<br />
The Sunday morning bike riding trips with daddy were being replaced by going to the mall with her boyfriend. Gone were the days when Id come home from work, and she'd give me a bear hug.<br />
<br />
Dad was set on the back burner.<br />
A leftover placed in the fridge. Not needed.<br />
<br />
I had been depressed but looked towards the future with hope. I miss those days. Maybe it was the innocence and sweetness.<br />
The fun carefree days that was all miss terribly. I know I'm just a phone call and hug away if she needs me.<br />
<br />
And as for being a "leftover" in the fridge?<br />
Sometimes...just sometimes the leftovers are better the second time around :)Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00031745971440307410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725744624903003050.post-72572941405716484522012-07-23T13:57:00.001-04:002012-07-23T14:33:25.457-04:00My heart and prayers goes out to the Aurora, Co shooting victimsA gunman attacked an Aurora, Colorado, movie theater on Friday, July 20, tossing tear gas before opening fire on the audience and killing 12<br />

So about two weeks ago last Monday (June 25th), I noticed what I thought was a mesquito bit on my leg. At first I didn't think nothing of it. But later in the week it started getting bigger, first swelling to the size of a dime, then bigger. Now it's July 7th and it's the the size of a quarter. It itches like mad and all I want to do is scratch it, but I know that'll just make it worse. There's no flesh necrosis and the bite hasn't opened or blistered, so I'm just making sure to swap it with Hydrogen Peroxide and rubbing alchohol. After that maximum strength hydrocortisone to stop the itching! A freind told me that it looks like a brown recluse bite....which at first scared me. But after doing some serious research I came to the conclusion my freind thinks he knows it all but doesn't. Sending a pic of the possible spider over to www.spider.us to see if they can identify it. :D<br />

Guess you could call them "life changing events". My ex's mom passed away in May (who I was close to) and my daughters having marital problems. Among others things I'd rather not get into.<br />
<br />
Anyways brought my son, daughter and grandson to see the fireworks in Norfolk last night. Conner was pretty uneasy and was scared at first. But once he realized they wouldn't hurt him he stated to relax. By the finale his face was lit up with a big smile. When everyone applauded he was clapping right along! It was really cute. He's a really good kiddo. It was a pretty good show too!<br />
<br />
Anyways...I read about this lifeguard, Thomas Lopez out in Hallendale Beach, FL. Thomas was fired for going outside his "zone" to rescue a man from drowning. Susan Ellis, his supervisor stated "we have liability issues and can't go out the protected (zoned) areas"<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Liability issues from what Susan Ellis? Trying to save another's life? Susan needs to reevaluate why she's a lifeguard. Don't allow a contract to define "zones" where you can and cannot save a life! If you're going by regulations and rules be a lawyer!</span><br />
These lifeguards have "value of life" and are heros in my book. If I owned a lifeguard company I'd hire these guys on the spot. Thomas should be commended.Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00031745971440307410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725744624903003050.post-11790643285163312122012-05-09T03:28:00.001-04:002012-05-09T03:28:41.316-04:00Hollywood rating system sucksI bought this up on the IMDB boards back in March, but it still agravates me.<br />
<br />
So the movie "The Hunger Games" has been out for a couple of months and I'm still very irritated. Not about the movie, but about the MPAA and thier double standards. I haven't seen the movie but according to Wikipedia it contains "violence" and "gore and teens battling to the death to survive". Here the MPAA gives it a PG-13, yet a movie called "Bully", which contains kids beating other kids up and students dropping a few "f bombs is givin an R rating.<br />
<br />
Bully doesn't contain the blood or gore "Hunger Games" but it depicts real problems and real issues that need to be addressed. Things that are happening in schools. This is something students need to pay attention to, but will be unable to watch this because of the rating.<br />
<br />
The MPAA give this movie an R rating. I guess it's easy to rate somethng for entertainment reasons, but when it comes to something real problems that are happening I guess the MPAA has a difficult time with it.

She's right...the strongest bond of friendships are usually found in family...between brothers and sisters, moms and daughters, sons and fathers...etc.<br />
<br />
Of course family is important, but who would we be if we just loved only our family. If we only went out of our way just for family it's not really that special right?<br />
<br />
No...if we really want to make a change in the world....if we really want to make a difference, we need to treat others like family....like loved ones. We should treat friends as family and strangers as friends....being there for them when they're in need.
After all.....wouldn't we want someone to help and give us a hand when we're down and out right? <3Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00031745971440307410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725744624903003050.post-23855339865736478112012-03-11T19:15:00.002-04:002012-03-11T19:52:14.597-04:00Sad but beautifulWow!...very sad but beautiful.

<br />
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full and they all agreed that it was.<br />
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.He then asked the students again if the jar was full and they all agreed that it was. <br />
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.Of course, the sand filled up everything else.He asked once more if the jar was full and the students responded with a unanimous 'yes....'.<br />
The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand.The students laughed.< br /> <br />
'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.< br/>
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.The sand is everything else---the small stuff.'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.<br />
The same goes for life.If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Spend time with your children. <br />Spend time with your parents. <br /> Visit with grandparents. <br /> Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18.There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter.Set your priorities.The rest is just sand.One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented.The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.' The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00031745971440307410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725744624903003050.post-14681208776721081172012-02-22T21:05:00.000-05:002012-02-22T21:13:53.772-05:0013 year old describes what "slut shaming" isSmart girl..... she was on Anderson Cooper last month.<br />
Very intelligent bright girl describes what "slut shaming" involves. I've seen it on FB between kids and it's appauling how they go out and call each other "sluts" and "whores" degrading one another... and they do it to friends!! That's the really sad part. Brings out the meanness of everyone involved.<br />
I don't agree with sex being "good" when so many pregnancies occur with teens.<br />

And it's all the more difficult as i know what they're going thru. With the heartache and heartbreaks of BF's/GF's, drama between friends, and the crap going on in the family it's difficult to ignore it and try to walk away.<br />
When Amanda was growing up, they didn't have half as much crap as they do now. Now these kids have mySpace, Facebook, and Twitter so if something happens between them, they can share it with the entire world to see. Thats the crap that causes all the drama. Oh well... guess they'll have to learn the hard way!Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00031745971440307410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725744624903003050.post-34458198247189402202012-02-18T12:00:00.000-05:002012-02-18T12:22:11.268-05:0010 things people do that annoy me :D :)<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;"></span><br />

I mean I still remember watching the Steelers and the Packers play the Superbowl back in February. "Black and Yellow"!! :D<br />
<br />
So I've been living down with some good family down here in Hertford, NC for the past few months. Jim and Becky are good people. My nieces Bri and Trudy are both amazing kids. Poor Bri. I really feel bad for her. We live out of town down this stretch of hwy where there are really no neighbors and no kids her age (she's 7). So the only real fun she has is spending time with her dad or her uncle. (Her mom is sick physically due to a severe stomach problem)<br />
<br />
Trudy has her share of teen drama. She's growing up too quick. And at 14 I just realized in 4 more years she'll graduate High School. The scary thing is that she doesn't realize how quickly it'll sneak up on her. I'm worried she's not going to pass 8th. She's a smart bright kiddo, but I worry bout her future. She needs to get her priorities straight. It's not really my concern, but she's been hanging out. I know all of em she's been deeply involved with. That scares me, but I donno what to do. It's sad what these kids go thru. It may seem like your typical teen drama, but it's real with these kids. No wonder why they get depressed and get hurt.Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00031745971440307410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725744624903003050.post-45613249579628959242011-11-16T17:58:00.001-05:002011-12-04T04:44:10.640-05:00It's tough to be round someone like thatSo I guess I am one of those guys who isn't part of the norm. I forgive too easily, live life a little less seriously and am still good friends with my ex. Yeah... I love her and care for her but not IN love with her. We've been thru alot, and I hope her and Kevin last forever, but she hasn't been taken care of herself.<br />
<br />
I mean when you have a heart attack at the age of 41 and the doctor advises you to exercise, quit smoking and eat a better diet or you'll die early I think I'd be following my doctors advice!<br />
I guess thats one of the issues I have with her. She's not taking better care of herself. Still spending money of cigs she can't afford. She hasn't bothered to improve her life and that bothers me. It's tough to be around someone you care bout when they don't seem to care bout themselves.Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00031745971440307410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725744624903003050.post-28440077274366008822011-10-24T19:11:00.002-04:002011-11-01T02:21:27.319-04:00Why follow your heart?<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">Why do they say "listen to your heart"? </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">The heart doesn't care about what will happen tomorrow. It doesn't think about the consequences and the pain later down the road. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">We get hurt waaay to much when we only listen to our heart.<br />
<br />
Shouldn't we be using our heads when getting into a relationship, then let our hear follow? </span><br />

It really wasn't an "interview" as it was a briefing on the first interview and a description of what I'll be doing in the store. LOL!.. yeah.. Ed Shannon (the store manager) basically went around the long way letting me know I had the job! The position title is "Store Technician Specialist/Key Holder"....it's in between Assistant Manager and Senior Assoc. So there's a BIG load off my back.<br />
<br />
Moved down with Becky and Jim for the time being.... it's nice not to smell that cig smoke. She doesn't realize how much it bothers and affects me. I find that I'm having to clear my throat every 5 minutes from that stinky stuff. And with three smokers it gets to you. It's good to be out of the ghetto and into the country for a bit :-D<br />
I love my family soo much... but I wish they'd understand that I have a hard time with smoking...even more than a few years ago.<br />
<br />
Bre (Maples) seems like she's having a tough time right now. She emailed me saying her BF broke up with her and her mom is threatening to kick her out. She's a good kid who's been through alot of crap. It's not fair... wish I could help out besides just emailing and texting.Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00031745971440307410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725744624903003050.post-87655872817009921142011-10-05T22:56:00.000-04:002011-10-05T22:56:53.969-04:00Can it get any worse?Feeling frustrated, lonely and worthless right now. I think I did a crappy interview with Officemax for Store Technology Rep. Found out Trudy I guess got back with Isiah.. the same BF who made her upset the other night because of trust issues. Drove all the way back from Hertford to Glichester to pick up Kevin. turned out he was supposed to get off at 6:00. We didn't show up till 7. Then heard Vicky bitch and throw a guilt trip on me cause I'm moving down with Jim and Becky. Yeah... NOT a good night at all. FML :-(Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00031745971440307410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725744624903003050.post-20971979848897649382011-09-30T17:23:00.000-04:002012-02-29T07:11:10.979-05:00Tron Cycle ..... sweeeeet!Wow...

Friend, family, boyfriend or girfriend<br />
Get over the drama quickly, forgive them and accept who they are.<br />
<br />
Be there for them...give them a random hug. Because they need you and you need them more than you think.<br />
<br />
Love them and accept them because you never know if they'll be here tomorrow. <3Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00031745971440307410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725744624903003050.post-71626854519741204722011-09-24T02:37:00.003-04:002011-09-24T02:39:57.450-04:00Wow... this is pretty intense... this would be prime for an anti-bullying campaign.<br />
