Buyer's Remorse

I am sure we have all felt buyer’s remorse at some point in our lives. You buy a product at a store that you think you like. When you return home you start thinking to yourself about whether or not you made the right decision. Then you have to convince yourself that the product is perfect and is just what you needed. I know it has happened to me before. I bought a new phone nearly a year ago and I didn’t really care what type it was as long as it was a touch screen. So while I was at the Verizon store the first touch screen that the salesman showed me I said yes to. It was kind of foolish on my part now that Verizon has enforced a data plan for all phones, but I really didn’t care at the time. After getting home I started to think if this phone was even good enough for me and I had to convince myself a hundred times that it was just as good as the other phones in the store.

doing it the long island way

i'm on the MTA website, trying to figure out the train/subway schedule to get to the tank. i feel like a dork. you can ask the city folk about which connecting trains go where to where on the spot and they could answer you in a jiffy. if only my public transit skillz were up to par.

so far, i've got the LIRR schedule down. pretty easy considering they operate hour to hour. now, i need to attempt the subway system. pray for me! please! i feel like a shallow long islander who never stepped outside her boundaries. why can't i just take my broom out and fly to the tank?! that would be so much easier. there would be no fees. and no traffic. plus, i can sing "i believe i can fly" with the birds. and it would be quite appropriate.

IHATECOPS!

who doesn't? i feel like when they were younger, they failed. becoming a cop was to satiate themselves from this power-trip that they sought when they were younger, but never got. people say that they're out there to protect us all, and i beleive only a mere slice of the cop-pie sincerely does that. the other chunk is out there for the salary. apparently, suffolk cops make rake in the largest salary in the nation. and some are just there to fulfill their quota, and get back home to polish their guns for the shoot-off next saturday. and what about the assholes who like to torture people? mostly because of their race. sexuality. style. etc.

It's Really Me

Trust me I really do look like that minus the green flames. A buddy of mine did the pic for a project in my Bus. 334 class. Apparently I was involved in a lab accident while developing new technology for the government and now I can shoot fire from my hands. Hope you all enjoy this pic.

Here is also a link of the video we did that includes this wonderful pic:

Career Center Intern

Bam! So I got the call from the Career Center here at Stony Brook U. and they told me that I got the internship position that I applied for. I am kind of excited about this because it might be a good experience for me since I am entering my senior year and they could help me land a job right after I graduate. I am also skeptical because it might not be the type of internship that employers are looking for once I make it to the “real world.” However, I cannot be picky since the current state of the economy is so bad. I know that some companies are turning to experienced individuals in their 30’s or older, who have been recently laid off, for internship positions. I can always pick up another internship down the road, but for now this is the one. I start in the Fall 2010 semester and end in the Spring 2011 semester. It involves 12 hours a week and other various duties. Hope it all goes well.

I Want It

I feel as if there are a lot of things in life that you are going to want. It’s human nature to always want something else, whether it’s a new car or a new phone. For me it’s a lot different. I have noticed that over the past few years the amount of things that I want is dwindling. Nothing really excites me the way it used back when I was a child. I know many people would question my motives, but there is nothing to lie about here. Currently, there is only one thing that I really want and I’ve felt this way for a few months now. I cannot say what it is, but I can tell you that I will never get it. To come so close to actually having a desire for something different and then watching it slowly blow up in your face is an experience no one should have to go through. All I know is that it will take me a while to get over my set back.

Impostor

So as we all know MajorSupporter123 was the fake name that I created for the site anysoldier.com. This site is the only one that I know of that includes a chat area. This could help us to obtain soldiers for our final if other members (aside from Connorsmom) joined in. I do feel bad for posing as a soldier overseas, but I figured it would help to make the soldiers on the chat site feel more comfortable. Obviously it didn’t go as planned because no one really showed up, but I intend to give it another try. Hopefully more soldiers will show up next time and I promise that I will be more careful about what I say. We don’t want another repeat of Thursday where I kept getting private messages from Connorsmom (wink, wink).
