So about 2-3 days ago there was a 5.9-magnitude earthquake in Virginia. Rumbles were felt across the U.S. East Coast from North Carolina all the way up to Toronto early Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2011, afternoon . I was working in Manhattan at the time, on the 9th floor when I thought I got dizzy. When my co-workers started saying do you see the hangers moving, I ran out and didn't know what was going on. My building is right across the street from the Empire State Building, so the thought of an earthquake in NYC was a thought in the back of my mind.

   Today, Sept. 27th, we are in the middle of Hurricane Irene WITH Tornado warnings :(

This thing is about 600miles wide, winds right now of 100 mph MAX. We have about 6 hours until it fully hits my area. Crossing fingers we don't get tooooo much flooding or tornadoes. Kinda scared.   

Not liking this weather. Storms are getting pretty serious. Earthquakes?? Really!?!

Also, there was a 2.6 earthquake right outside of Albany, NY a few hours ago. :/

The Calm Before the Storm:
Caesars Bay, Brooklyn, NY 8-27-11

8-27-11 News coverage

Caesars Bay, Brooklyn, NY 8-27-11

Caesars Bay, Brooklyn, NY 8-27-11

   They did say on the news that years ago, a state on the east coast had an earthquake and about 2-3 days later a hurricane hit the same areas affected by the earthquake..Freaky huh!?

To be continued tomorrow.

Relationships

   SO i think, no matter how long or short you relationships last, there will always be little bumps in between i guess to test how strong your bond is. Sometimes you work through it, meaning that your bond must be pretty strong and on the other hand some people don't make it and they are forced to move on. Either way, it is a  huge learning/growing experience. Hopefully both people involved get something out of what's going on.
   I know personally it is very hard to go through these little bumps. Sometimes even with the support from some of your closest friends, you wont be fully okay unless you are working it out completely with the other person involved. If the same feelings and emotions aren't there, whats the point of continuing. However if there are strong feelings still there and one out of the 2 gets a little confused, I think the best thing is to stay strong and let fate happen. It's easier to say then do, but I guess that's what must happen.

Stay Strong :-)

Ideas

Its kind of hard when you put your mind to something and actually follow through. I have so many ideas for different jobs I can do, I get all excited and then i sit on my sofa and watch tv :(

  How do you get the motivation and the drive to actually do something your mind is telling you to do!? Something that will benefit you. Something that you love to do.

I want to be productive, I really do, but actions speak louder than words and my actions are saying I'm lying.

Change

    So some people have no problems growing up, learning from past mistakes and just overall experiencing their lives at different stages in their life. On the other hand their are a lot of people who see change as a bad thing. As a way of creating new events and finding new people and leaving everything they once knew behind. Of maybe changing your life so drastically that it makes you want to stay a child and do child/adolescent things when you may be in your 30's and 40's.
    This however is not the case. Life is soo short. Changes in a persons life is a natural process. As you grow older certain things you used to do aren't as accepted as when you were young. For example: hanging out till 3 in the a.m. with friends when you have work at 8 the next morning. Or if you have a wife/husband and family at home and you're out partying with your friends.
    I think the main problem is having to admit that you're getting older and things have to change slightly not entirely to suit this new stage in your life. Everyone goes through it, some better than others, however to most this is a very scary and confusing time.
    A time when you should be more responsible for your actions. A time when you need to be more independent from your friends and take on what you have to in order to get what you want out of life. Nothing comes easy and if you want something you're going to have to fight for it most likely.

My first Round of thoughts for you.

  Life is not as easy as some people seem to think it is. We start out as innocent, naive little children with the hopes that our parents will take on the responsibility of helping us grow into responsible, respectable adults in a world that is already screwed up. Some of us don't have the same childhoods. Some are tougher than others, but in the end no one has an ideal life. Everyone has problems and issues that we think no one else has. But guess what, no one is ever 100% happy.
  Some people spoil there kids and do everything for them but those kids won't know what to do with themselves once their parents aren't there anymore or they may pass their responsibilities onto other family members and friends. They may not have the unconditional love that children need due to purchases made from their parents in hopes that it will make up for not being around or not being able to show their love through spending actual time with their children. These children will grow up dependent on those around them and always seeking out love with materialistic things. Not every person is the same however I think most will become what their parents have created, needy, dependent, irresponsible adults.
  Other people are always trying to work to achieve what they want in life. It's harder for them to get to where they would like to be however at least they try. I believe these people are more appreciative of their earnings because they had to work so hard to get to that point of achieving their goals. However there are also those who just feel like giving up because its too hard to get what they want or possibly they have to much pride to admit that they need help. These people with so much pride in nothing, piss me off.
  If you need help, get help. There is no reason in the world that you should just sit around and let other people clean up the mess that you created.

I've learned in this world, no one will help you completely get what you want but YOURSELF.

   For example, if you have a kid that you weren't expecting, take responsibility and get a job to support your child and yourself. If you live at home you shouldn't think that your parents will just pick up the mess that you created and if they do then they're stupid. You were responsible enough to sleep with someone to get the kid knowing the risks involved and now its your responsibility to take care of this new innocent child. This is where todays parents mess up. People are having kids younger and younger and aren't taught how to take care of themselves let alone an innocent child.  These people disgust me. Knowing that our world is filled with people who make messes and expect other people to clean it up.
  Another example, if you're unemployed, instead of sitting on the couch all day watching TV or on the computer, look for a job. The longer you are unemployed the more you will not want to go back to work because you're scared you wont be able to do the job correctly. Some people go into depression which is understandable but the only one that can get you out of that depression is YOURSELF.
  Friends and family will only get you so far. You are the only one who knows your wants and needs. Your the only one who can do what you want exactly how you want it. You have to be strong and force yourself to make the first steps into achieving your goal.  Unless your goal is to just keep being a bum and letting other people do your dirty work, then you should feel ashamed of yourself. No one likes to clean there own mess let alone someone else's. Grow up and open your eyes.

Take responsibility for your actions and mishaps.
