The Rant Of A Pixie

My dog Lady died last night

2008-01-27T20:24:36Z

So sad. We had to put her down last night. She had become paralyzed from the waist down and couldn't move more then lifting her head. It was so sad.
She is in a peaceful place right now though and wont suffer.

I will miss you puppy. :`(

If anyone has any pictures of Lady, or that you took with her, can you please email them to me @ firepixies21@sbcglobal.net

Was in the Caribbean for a week on a carnival cruise. Went out of Tampa, to Belize, Cozumel. & Grand Caymans.
Was so much fun. Went to Mayan ruins of Tallum in Cozumel. snorkeling with stingrays, went to the Tortuga Rum Factory on the Cayman island, & Kayaking threw rain-forest in Belize. Would definitely do it again.

Hope everyone had a great Holiday and New Years.

Something to ponder over

2007-09-06T04:49:00Z

This was what the fortune in my fortune cookie said........

"When the moment comes, take the first one from the right."

WTF.....What does it mean...

Any guesses.

New school year

2007-08-24T01:29:31Z

Nothing really new to update about except that i am now 22 and am starting at Cal State University Northridge tomorrow. Wish me luck...

Close to the end

2007-08-13T08:03:35Z

I cant believe summer is already almost over and i havnt even been to the beach once. Have been so busy with work, getting ready to start Cal State University Northridge and then finding free time for myself. Speaking of work, my last day at Target is August 17th and my new job starts Sep4th. After 3 1/2 years at Target it was time for a major change, plus i will be getting more money at my new job with mo taxes. School starts August 21st, which happens to be my 22nd birthday. Everything is going by so quickly, but i guess that can be good.

That is all the updated news i can think of for now. If i think of anything exiting i will update.

Taking a stand

2006-11-06T06:17:56Z

Today at work was an overall good day until the end when I finally got around to taking to one of my supervisors. So here’s the deal during the holiday season they put up decoration in the store, well this year corporate decided to make a Marry Christmas sign to go in the front of the store that you can see right when you walk in. So me being Jewish found that a bit offensive, I mean come on wouldn’t you if you didn’t celebrate Christmas and lived in a big Jewish area, you would be surprised how many Jewish people do actually live in the area. So I asked if they could either take it down or move it and my supervisor said he wouldn’t get fired for taking it down and they couldn’t move it since that’s how it’s supposed to be. Just stating my opinion was making me mad and I could feel my face getting red. I’m usually a very quiet individual but things like this do bother me and I decided to voice my opinion when no one else would. Some of my coworkers have said that they had a problem with the sign to but haven’t said anything. I think it should say Seasons Greetings, or Happy Holiday not Marry Christmas. If they have it they way, there should be a Happy Chanukah and a Kwanza sign as well. So I have decided to write the corporate office and tell them what I think and see if something comes out of it.

If you were in my position would you speak up and voice your opinion and do something about it? Or keep quiet?

P.S. My mom said I did the right thing. :)

Our world Village

2006-09-08T21:03:27Z

I got this from my Anthropology teacher and found it be really interesting and makes you think about how our world really is. Think about it.

If we could shrink the earth's population into a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look like this:

There would be
57 Asians
21Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphhere (north and south)
8 Africans
52 would be female
48 would be male
70 would be non-white
30 white
70 would be non-Christian (Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, Sikh, etc.)
30 would be Christian
89 would be heterosexual
11 homosexual
59% of the earth;s wealth would be in the hands of only 6 people and all 6 would live in the house of the United States
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death
1 would be near birth
1 would own a computer
1 would have a college education

Sad day, Death of Steve Irwin, croc hunter.

2006-09-04T07:37:15Z

I was just told by a friend that Steve Irwin, the crocodile hunter has died sptember 4th, 2006. Its true. From ABC News Online i got this info....

The naturalist and television star Steve Irwin has died in a diving accident in far north Queensland. He was 44.
Police say he was stung through the heart by a stingray while diving off Port Douglas.He was filming a documentary when the accident occurred around midday AEST near the Low Isles. A helicopter arrived with paramedics on board to try to resuscitate him, but it was too late.
Irwin's body is being taken to the morgue in Cairns.
His family are believed to be flying from Brisbane to Cairns this afternoon. Irwin is survived by his wife Terri and two children.

This is a sad day indead.

Once upon a time,
a little girl dreamed of being a
princess and dancing at a royal ball.
And she did.

A little boy dreamed of
being a hero and defeating villains
And he did.

All it took was the right costume, the
perfect accessories, and a bit of
Disney Magic.

Baby Hippo (priceless)

2006-08-01T06:05:40Z

To Cute to pass up. Enjoy.

NAIROBI (AFP) - A baby hippopotamus that survived the tsunami waves on the Kenyan coast has formed a strong bond with a giant male century-old tortoise, in an animal facility in the port city of Mombassa, officials said.

The hippopotamus, nicknamed Owen and weighing about 300 kilograms (650 pounds), was swept down Sabaki River into the Indian Ocean, then forced back to shore when tsunami waves struck th e Kenyan coast on December 26, before wildlife rangers rescued him.

"It is incredible. A-less-than-a-year-old hippo has adopted a male tortoise, about a century old, and the tortoise seems to be very happy with being a 'mother'," ecologist Paula Kahumbu, who is in charge of Lafarge Park, told AFP.

"After it was swept and lost its mother, the hippo was traumatized. It had to look for something to be a surrogate mother. Fortunately, it landed on the tortoise and established a strong bond. They swim, eat and sleep together," the ecologist added. "The hippo follows the tortoise exactly the way it follows its mother. If somebody approaches the tortoise, the hippo becomes aggressive, as if protecting its biological mother," Kahumbu added.

"The hippo is a young baby, he was left at a very tender age and by nature, hippos are social animals that like to stay with their mothers for four years," he explained.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

This is a real story that shows that our differences don't matter much when we need the comfort of another. We could all learn a lesson from these two creatures of God, "Look beyond the differences and find a way to walk the path together.

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate
