As I was growing up, I always wanted to be a teacher. That was my lifelong dream and I stuck by it even when I began to actually attend college. Everything was fine and dandy until I actually got to work in schools. The first time that I gave this a chance, I was a freshman in college and I worked in a middle school that was mostly comprised of inner-city bilingual children. Needless to say, this proved to be quite the task that I had anticipated. Besides the fact that I wasn’t very fluent in Spanish, the children had behavioral issues and it was very difficult getting them to listen. Even after all of this, I continued onto my Sophomore year of college and still worked in this school. Due to some life changing situations, however, I quit and moved on.

Last year I applied to a program called SPIN to become a Preschool Paraprofessional. I was hired and the training began not much later after that. Needless to say the training was quite intense because we weren’t just going to be working with typical children. These children had disabilities. Sometime in the training, I thought to myself, “Am I going to be able to handle what’s in store for me?” Being the person that I am, giving up wasn’t even in my vocabulary. I continued on with my training and very soon I was placed in the school setting. I was in for a big surprise. Some of the children were autistic, while some of them strictly had behavioral issues. I was able to work in both settings. After a while I grew quite stressed and decided it wasn’t the career for me. Not only did I quit, but I did it with the swiftness. You see, some of these children were poorly raised at home, which angered me in many ways being as though I’m a mother myself. How could children so young use profanity and indulge in violence so frequently? I said to myself, “I’m going to end up hurting some feelings here.”

Truth be told, now I have many interests. I love graphic design, web developing, writing poetry, and writing anything PERIOD. But most of all, I’ve become strongly obsessed with Photography. I have realized this is a much desired profession and that’s alright. I’ve always been a very artistic person and I enjoy expressing myself a lot. A lot of my very own photos, like the one you see in my introduction on the sidebar, were taken by me. So you see, I have huge plans in the future and I’m going to utilize all of my artistic abilities to their full potential. It’s funny how life can flip itself.

To some of you who have registered for my website, you may just not be receiving the confirmation of approval. I apologize for this. I needed to update my email address in wordpress and I had never received the registration emails.

Note: Thank you Jaz and Tasha for pointing out the date issue. It was a theme issue that I’ve fixed.
Thank you all for your birthday wishes.

Today is my birthday and I don’t even feel a year older. I guess it’s because I don’t make a huge deal when my birthday rolls around. Unfortunately, though, I have a cold it seems, mixed in with allergy troubles. So I’m practically miserable at the moment. I’ve taken some medicine and I’ll be headed to sleep pretty soon, hopefully. The most annoying thing right now is that I’m having difficultly breathing out of my nose and it’s like super stuffed. I don’t know about you but besides this being a pain in the ass it’s annoying as hell.

I’d like to thank you all for your comments on my previous entry. I love receiving feedback and knowing what my visitors think about certain things that I blog about. As a reminder, feel free to voice yourself as freely as you would like, whether it’s negative or positive. Not everyone is always going to agree and that’s fine as long as you voice yourself respectfully.

I’ve upgraded the site to Wordpress 2.6. I haven’t really noticed any obvious changes since the last version but I did notice that some people left comments and they didn’t show up on the index page but they were in my admin dashboard. I’ve re-posted those comments so they’re viewable now. It may have only been a temporary thing, as I was making some much needed changes to the website at the time that some of you were commenting. If you see any problems or if your comment and it does not show up right away, drop me an email and I’ll see what the problem is. I’ve also added an option to the sidebar where you guys can view available themes. Please be advised that these themes are always undergoing construction and are subject to some changes. I still have some plugins that I’d like to install and I’m still checking to see if other plugins were affected by the upgrade.

I’ve been posting private entries in my livejournal and I plan on starting to post them here, as well. They’ll be for registered users only. So if you’re interested in reading my private entries, feel free to register for my website. There is a question mark beside the register link on the sidebar which leads you to a section of my website that highlights the specifics of registering here. Take a look at that if you plan on registering.

Hey everyone, I created a new theme. If you can’t see it by default you may click here to view it.

I blogged about this on my Vox page and I just want to touch up on it here. First and foremost, anyone who knows me personally know that I don’t get along with females at all. There are a select few females that I get along with and they know who they are. Most females are stupid as hell in my opinion. They can be avid gossipers, backstabbers and spoiled brats. I strongly dislike the typical golddigger. Traditionally, it was alright at one point in time for a woman to be taken care of by a man. In today’s world it’s totally unacceptable to me unless it’s a mutual agreement between two people who love and care for one another. Some females just keep accepting money from guys they are basically leading on. It’s dangerous and irresponsible as hell, especially when the female is constantly accepting money from random guys.

I really dislike when people gossip. Not just for the sake of gossiping, but doing it for malicious reasons. Females can be very vicious creatures when they want to be. We are capable of being really mean and causing unnecessary drama. The sad thing is, it’s usually amongst one another. Men will dispute with one another and become best friends again the next day. Why? I really do not have an answer for that but it would seem that guys seem to hold more meaningful and lasting relationships than females do.

Most of all, I hate the typical weak ass female. I cannot stand a female who can’t stand up or do for herself. It’s disgusting to me. I’d consider myself to be one hell of a woman and I really expect that other women can be too if they stop allowing their emotions to get the best of them and have more confidence in themselves. Stop being weak over these men. Men come and go just like friends may come and go. Don’t break yourself down over a man because he sure as hell isn’t going to break himself down over you. It’s stupid as hell to toss away your dignity because you believe you’re in love or some women even throw away their dignity for men that they like. It’s unattractive and the only person you’re hurting is yourself.

Women are thought of in such an inferior way to some. Why should we ever give people a reason to believe we are inferior? We’re just as important as men. We can do just as much as men can do. A lot of females may not even like what I’m discussing and that’s cool because as they say, the truth hurts and that’s a whole lot of truth. What it all boils down to is the confidence that all women should have in themselves. We are the nurturers of life and we should never let anyone take that away from us.
