Cherry Blossoms and Blood

Lady Raiko's Thoughts

11/29/08 10:22 pm - And so it ends...

So, yes, today was the closing day for Churchill's Fall Meet. The people this meet have been less than nice. I'm trying to figure out why I've had so many problems with patrons this time around. Everyone last meet was nice, but it seems like everyone decided to be pricks this time around. Oh well, its over now, and its almost 11 so I'm almost home free!! My compadres are playing tricks on me and hitting the elevator buttons and scaring the crap out of me, and I even brought them pie today too. Oh well, I have the last laugh, Don has to stay til 3AM... HA HA!!

Anywho, what does y'all think about having a sober New Years party in a shed? Would I be a not-good hostess if I did that? Its a decent sized shed, but I'd need to get some space heaters and some lights, but other than that it wouldn't be all THAT bad. So, opinions PLEASE!!

11/18/08 10:48 am - Go Louisville!!!

So, yeah, our lovely mayor decided to instate a hiring freeze on all government agencies! Which means NO JOB FOR ME!! The police academy that began yesterday will be the last group of recruits hired for an indeterminate amount of time, and the MetroSafe communications are ALSO government positions! So, there go all my prospective careers! Woohoo!!!

Stupid Louisville...

10/30/08 08:04 am - Strange (or not) story

So it is 8 in the fricking morning, and I'm bored, so I decide to check me e-mail and this story catches my eye.

STORY

And I asked myself what is the world coming to...

9/30/08 12:37 pm - I find these hillarious!

6/13/08 10:15 pm - I used to think I was smart... stupid GRE...

I am currently going through the "Vocab in a Box" for the GRE exam, out of the first 30 words i knew 3...
I feel kinda stupid right now...

5/3/08 01:15 pm - On B's and feeling old

I GOT A "B" IN MY MOLECULAR ANTHROPOLOGY CLASS!!!!!! I was originally thinking that a low "C" was the highest possible I could obtain, but I get on Blackboard on Wednesday and find that I received a 96 on my piece of crap paper! I then proceeded to run through the house and hit my finger on the door frame. That HURT!! But it was nothing compared to the happiness I felt! So this semester I end up with a 3.5 GPA, I like that.
In other news, Kid graduates from high school at the end of this month. That is scary. My little cousin is in 6th grade already, I remember getting to hold him the day after he was born! I feel so old, and I hear it doesn't get any better as the years progress...

3/31/08 03:58 pm - Men...

*sigh* Men are a strange and confusing species. VERY confusing. Really, I do believe that is all I have to say to that. I may put up a longer post later... after all this stuff called homework goes away...

10/31/07 08:40 pm - And so it Begins

 Well, I registered for classes this morning at 10, and here is my schedule as of right now:

Spring 2008 )

7/9/07 06:37 pm - Should I be disturbed

"Saturday is the true Lord's Day, changed by the Antichrist"
It really is an actual quote. In INDIANA!

6/10/07 08:32 pm - If....

I was watching "Last Days on Earth" and it brought up an interesting topic:

 If you knew that the Earth would go "BOOM" in a year, what would you do?

4/4/07 07:36 pm - Check Check Check it out!

Yes, today is my birthday, and it is almost over. Thank goodness! Today i think has been the day from you know where. I just want to take a nice long shower and get to bed.
On another note, Honey has said that Saturday can be a day for whatever I want. I'll have to think of something evil to. ^_^

2/26/07 02:39 pm - NOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Celtic Woman concert tickets are $55!!!!! Yeah read it and weep... This can't happen! Why is it only $29 in Cincinnati? I know thats still alot for concert tickets, but $55??!! Geez.
On a different note, the Evanescence concert is on a Tuesday... A TUESDAY! *sigh* Just my luck, huh? Oh well...

2/12/07 05:04 pm - SQUEE!!!

HoHa! I win!! Okay, halfway anyway. I went and got stuff for Valentine's Day today. I got things for family, and I got things for Honey. Now I just have to put everything together.

I still don't know what my Honey has in store for me on Saturday. I could loose sleep over this! I'm so confused, and I kinda wish I hadn't asked for a hint  *huff*  Oh well, I shall know soon enough.

I LOVE YOU HONEY!!

2/11/07 07:50 pm - A quick question

Okay, I have a question for all the men out there:

   --What is/would be the best thing about being in a relationship?

And gals, ask your guys this question, and then answer the question yourself.

I'm looking for all the comments and opinions that i can get.

Thanks!

1/1/07 01:12 am - The New Year has Come!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR MY FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12/25/06 05:05 pm - Blah... Christmas

Yes, its Christmas again, though it hardly feels like it here... I'm so depressed, and I didn't even know that people could be depressed on Christmas. Its supposed to be a happy time, right? It's not really like that here... not at all... I just feel so horrid right now... and last night... last night was hell... oh why can't this be a good day... for the love of GOD why ccan't this be a good day....

12/22/06 07:37 pm


I guess this is all i have to post at the moment

12/20/06 04:19 pm - December 20 and 5 day til Christmas...

So, today i am feeling quite at peace despite all the stuff that has been happening these past few days. I am continuing to read my book series and I think that the counsel I am getting from those is helping a great deal. I feel more able to function and less bogged down in the crappy details of this life. Life is what you make of it, and although you may come back to this Earth for another round, you won't get the chance to experience this particular life ever again. Each life has its own set of lessons that one is set to learn and it is up to each of us to learn them. I am not exactly sure what lessons I am here to learn, but I will learn all that I can in this lifetime. I wish that there was some way to get myself to remember each lifetime, and I'm working on being able to. Well, actually right now I'm working on running on intuition more than logic right now, but intuition is sometimes better than logic. And, yes I've seen it happen, and I've ignored it for far too long. Sometimes I wonder if things would be very different right now if I had just listened to that little voice in my head. 

I know that some people would say that beliefs aren't true, but I've learned that there is no "right" path to go to get where we are going. There are only different paths. And Honey, you were right when you said that each person has to follow the path that feels the most comfortable to them. I'm sorry for that night, I truly am. I've found my path, and it ends up its a wild mix of lots of different paths. Love and compassion really are the only things that matter in life, they heal both body and soul. And thats what I'm learning... I'm finally learning.

12/19/06 08:06 pm - FYI

Okay, I was reading my book (Messages from the Masters) and I stumbled upon some interesting information. 

In 1633 Galileo was excommunicated from the Catholic Church because of his belief that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of the Solar system (the mainstream idea then was that God's perfect creation was the center of everything) But it wasn't until November of 1992 that the church exonerated Galileo for his heritical idea.

Wow! It took the Catholic Church that 359 years to let poor Galileo off the hook??!!

Here's an early Song of the Day!

11/29/06 11:30 am - The definition of an empath

"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this:

A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.

To him... a touch is a blow,
a sound is a noise,
a misfortune is a tragedy,
a joy is an ecstasy,
a friend is a lover,
a lover is a god,
and failure is death.

Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create - - - so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating." 
                       --Pearl S. Buck--


That is an amazing quote, and it is amazingly true. But for me, it seems that I cannot create. Stuck in a horrible rutt. Its the worst feeling that I have had. Wanting to write, but not being able to...

11/27/06 07:57 pm - ^_^

I know I haven't updated in a while, and I really don't have much to say other than I hope y'all had a good Thanksgiving!
And now... The Song of the Day!

11/12/06 05:43 pm - A great quote

I was cruising the internet looking for... supplies. And I came across this quote:

"I'm so broke, I can't even pay Attention!"

And I it had to be shared!! ^_^
That is all,
Raiko
