Text Me

It seems that the craze of texting has reached new heights. According to a study by the Pew Internet and American Life project, texting is now the most popular form of communication for teens. Girls lead the way with an average of 80 texts a day. Teens find that they can no longer live without their phones.

Teens favor texting as it can be done almost anywhere. They also enjoy the fact that messages are almost instantaneous. Many teens even sleep next to their phones. I guess this shows the differences between now and when I was growing up. I think technology is great, but we still need to keep an eye on what’s going on with our kids!

Safe and sound

One thing I love more than anything else in this world is my daughter. She is the light of my life and I would do anything for her. I also like to take steps to protect her from harm. One way I do this is to ensure that when she is online, she only visits sites that are good for her. When she wanted to play online games, I thought I would check out what she was playing before I let her do so.

I checked out a number of games sites that were online. There are thousands of online games to play and I wanted to be sure she only played good clean ones. That’s why I was happy when I found a site called gamehous.com. They have a number of games to choose from that are just plain old-fashioned fun.

I like the fact that my baby can stay at home and still have a lot of fun. It’s good to know that she is safe upstairs in her room playing online games. Sometimes she brings her friends over and they play together. I think that builds character and helps her socialize. The world is a better place because of my daughter. I am glad to help ensure that she is safe and sound.

Girly Things

Sometimes it is nice to step back and appreciate the girls for being girls. When you grow up with sisters, you probably take a lot of things for ranted. Then when you  just around a lot of guys, like in a college dorm, you start to understand that girls do a lot of nice things and you start to miss them.

I like the way girls fuss with their hair and makeup. I especially like nail polish on their fingers and toes. And they smell nice. I would much rather breathe deep and take in a nice floral fragrance from a girl than the smell of a dorm room with a bunch of guys dirty clothes, leftover food and stale smoke.

Cell Phone Spies

I was listening to an interesting story today about a lady who was being spied on by a former boyfriend. The man had secretly installed spyware on her cell phone and was able to listen to her conversations as well as tell where she was. The technology is widely available online and works very well.

Anyone who thinks they may be a victim of this spyware has a few options for removing it. One way to do so is to reinstall the operating system of the phone. This will eliminate the spyware. Another option is to get a new phone entirely and that will end the threat. In today’s society you can never be too careful and knowing about things like this can help keep you safe!

Water Logged

As it always seems to happen, I am accident prone. Two days ago I was getting out of my car and my cell phone slipped out of my hand. The phone bounced off the seat and directly into a puddle of water that was next to my parking spot. Since I was still trying to get out of the car, it was a few seconds before I was able to retrieve it. The phone was entirely wet and I thought it was ruined. Luckily, I found a way to save the phone.

As soon as I got to the house, I took the battery out and put the phone into a bag of rice. I know that seems a bit strange, but the rice sucks the moisture away from the phone. After leaving it there for a day, I took the phone out and put it on top of the TV where it was nice and warm. When I put the battery back in, the phone worked just as it had before. I am glad I didn’t have to go through the hassle of getting a new phone!!

Home Time

I am going to get some home time and the great thing about my job is I don’t have to take my home time where I actually live so I am going to go home to see my parents I have a feeling I will be using a lot of my home time to visit family I haven’t seen in a while because I don’t have to pay for the trip there now. I can’t wait to see them and they are so excited. I should get there in a couple of days I have to drop off this load and my dispatch will get me there on my next run.

I also get to catch up with some old friends while I am there and maybe even see a old girlfriend or two who know I may be able to rekindle an old flame. I have a feeling I am going to love this part of my job I have missed being able to see my family and friends more that once a year.

No work some fun

I have been training and studying so hard I think it’s time for some fun so me and a couple of my friends are going out. We are going to go have a nice dinner and then go to a movie. I really want to see Zero Dark Thirty but everyone else wants to see Django Unchained so I guess that’s what we will go see. I just can’t wait for a night of nothing but fun with all my friends this may be the last time I will be able to go out like this because after school I will have at least a couple of weeks of training over the road and won’t be home for weeks or even months.

I am worried about missing my friends and family and holidays but once I get settled I will try be home for all the important things no job is worth sacrificing whats really important.

BBQ

Went to a BBQ today at a friends house. Decided to leave early when a couple of people had a little too much to drink. I love BBQ’s but much prefer if people handle their alcohol better then they did today. Must be close to a full moon or somthing. People tend to act a little crazy when the full moon gets close. Anyway, I am out for the rest of the day. Have a good one!

Snacks for all

The super bowl is finally here. I have invited some of my closest friends over to watch the game with me. I have several that have already said they will attend. We plan to have plenty of food ready for everyone. I know they will enjoy that.

The game is always great and the half-time show should be enjoyable as well. It is always a good time for all. My house will be full and it is great to have company. This is a great land.
