Bridge Over Troubled Waters?


So, China finished building their 26.4 mile long bridge called Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in Qingdao, China.  Not only can I not pronounce that, but I could not see myself driving over it...maybe with a parachute, and life vest.  I tingle just driving over the Annapolis Bay Bridge, and to see this shiver me timbers!  I wonder who the first driver was?  As usual the U.K., has a plethora of unbiased information (which is why I love them!), but you can read all about the bridge and view some awesome pictures at Mail Online.  Anywho, I was trolling the Internet and came across the bridge while drinking my Soju and orange juice, and had to share this pivotal historic moment.  We are living in such interesting times, that there is no reason to exaggerate anything, because it's all just bizarre.  Well, back to my concoction I go :)

Brown Eyed Girls

There are some days where I look at my children, and wonder what will become of their life.  After that, I think of ways to help prepare them for situations, that they should be able to control.  For instance, I remember getting in trouble in school because I was offended and arguing with kids about "your momma" jokes.  At that time, I was probably in the first grade, but I remember arguing my case to my mom, on how the kids were talking about her.  What she said, is something that changed my life; which was, "Nicole, they don't know me".  Instantly I understood, and had nothing else to say.  Lessons such as those, are currently work in progress within our household...and will be for a while. In fact, isn't it amazing how some people have no idea of who you are, and yet want to pass judgement on your beliefs, way of life, or moral character.  It's because of that, I look at my children, and wonder about all the things I love about them, and...

Hoopla Over Real Life Situations

America at times reminds me of a bipolar teenager.  Current idiocy is the bickering over a video, from which an incident occurred, causing a bad reaction, by a remorseful person.  When I first heard Rihanna's "Man Down", I couldn't help but "listen" to the lyrics, and notice how powerful the song is.  In fact, I was interested to see how the video would be made, to convey the words to the song.  When I finally watched it, I though it was a great video that detailed the day of a bright haired young lady in Jamaica, and the life changing events that follow. The video wasn't masochistic, or showcasing a good life induced with drugs and alcohol, or bragging about riches soon to be depleted.  No, this video was about a reaction to an assault.  Of all the things going on in our nation, this is what some parents chose to choose a fight with...not to mention it's on an entertainment channel, on a cable network.  The same people who probably frown upon a...

Ewww, that's just gross!

Every morning on my way to work, I pass by a dog park.  Within the area itself, everyone is very active with running, walking, and chatting with other dog owners as their pups played...just their way of beginning their day.  Flash forward to three/four hours later, and the dog park is transformed to a kiddie playground.  Not big kids, but babies and toddlers.  Am I the only one grossed out about this? Just this weekend, I wanted to rant as to why I should not have to pick up doggie poo (I do not own a dog for this very reason), and here in front of me are two worlds colliding.  I wonder if the stay at homes moms, nannies and au pairs know of the transformation.  Is that even sanitary?  I'd like to see the area's hand foot and mouth disease statistics, I hope they aren't staggering.  Is the community as a whole okay with this?  Why not build a playground area for the kids?  Of course I'm disturbed, because I know that not all of the own...
