Heat Wave Cleanin

Been doing a bit of cleanin up on my web haunts. Think I am finally content with my redecorating in here. It is a bit more fitting and girly. And don't forget purple.

I decided to revamp my photo album yesterday. I have had several of my Florida friends hunt me down lately. Nice to know they are thinking about us. Everyone is askin for pictures. I was not happy with the way the photo blog worked. I couldn't make albums and the uploading was time consuming and tedious. So I did a bit of research and found a software program and got it uploaded yesterday. I like it. Its a bit boring, but the functionality is nice. I know from experience, if something takes too much time, I won't bother keeping it up to date. With this software, I can post pictures directly from my desktop. So maybe just maybe *fingers crossed* I will use it.

I made a new blog category. SCvsFL It is going to be dedicated to all the things I find different between FL and SC. I'm not comparing to find the better. It just has been very interesting to see how everyday things are handled differently only a few hundred miles away.

Todays edition pertains to the weather. It is hot here. It is hot in Florida. By hot I am referring to when the temp and the humidity are above 90 making the heat index (feels like temp) over 100.

In Florida a heat index over 100 is the difference between a t-shirt and a tank top. They have months on end of this type weather, and really just goes unnoticed by most including the weatherman. In South Carolina a heat index over 100 calls for a heat advisory warning and the weatherman gets all excited. They warn folks to stay indoors and drink lots of water.

Not sure why I found this so amusing. Maybe because to me the weather here has been a nice change. It is hot, but not so surface of the sun hot.

Color Struck: A Psychoanalytical Perspective

Color Struck: A Psychoanalytical Perspective             In “ Color Struck ,” Zora Neale Hurston (2005) illustrates the tragedy of a couple in the 1900’s.  John, a light brown-skinned man, and Emma, a black woman, attend a cake walk to represent their community and bring home the grand prize.  Emma is so preoccupied with her misguided ideas of the prejudices of others that she inadvertently sabotages her relationship with John.  Her paranoia and insecurity run so deep, that they remain with her for 20 years and ultimately ruin her opportunity for true love a second time.  Exploring a work of literature from a p sychoanalytical perspective “aim to reveal the influence of the subconscious in the text’s plot, setting, conflict, symbols, point of view, language, and character development (South University Online, 2010, para. 1). From this perspective it is revealed that the prejudice that Emma accuses everyone e...

Confused..

(repost from May 2010) I have been wondering lately.  What happened to the days when people actually gave a shit about how their actions or words would effect others?  Does anyone think outside their own existence anymore? I have a temper.  Hell most of us do to some extent.  I have learned via trial and error how to keep it in check.  I have learned that sometimes the best thing to say is nothing at all.  Especially when I am pissed off.  Anger never translates to reason and understanding.   When I start to do something, I often ask myself how it will effect people.  Am I going to step on toes or hurt feelings.  Is it going to make me look like a total douche bag??  I have always been the type to "try" to filter my thoughts before I blurt or react. I know that I have stopped myself from things based on the answers to the above questions.  Sometimes stopping myself helps spare others while in turn hurting me. Typ...

Long week...

It has been a long week.  One foot in front of the other...one moment at a time.  That is how I have learned to plow through this proverbial roller coaster of life. Disappointed to be going on vacation with out my Love. Excited to be getting to go on vacation. Sad to be away from hubs while traveling. Ecstatic to get solid quality face to face with sissy. Frustrated that my health has so much control over my life. Blessed to be alive to face these challenges. Annoyed at work related BS that effects my financial well being and having no control over it. Thankful to have a job. Its a balance....
