Public Education....

   I am not one to talk politics or anything that would start a fight. But I was incredibly bothered when my boy came home with a letter from the school saying that they were going to install palm readers to the cafeteria. Why does a school need PALM READERS for? They are wasting money that can be used for the kids or for fixing the class rooms or anything else. I can name a lot of things the school can use the money for instead of palm readers. Then my boy tells me that someone was telling them were going to install metal detectors, video cameras, so far the have some cameras up and working everywhere. It just seems that's way too much I agree that the children need to be safe and secure in school, but lets not go over board with the whole thing. The school can easily get a uniformed guard for security, they can patrol the grounds while the kids are in class and make sure no nutzo gets in. But these other things are not good first they cost way too much money that can go to the kids or even better the teachers. I don't know what the ones in charge are thinking or even if they ARE thinking. Our kids need a good education they don't need to be treated as prisoners, even my boy didn't like it as a joke he told me that next year they were making them all dress in orange uniforms. Of course my boy has a great sense of humor he gave me his best smirk and laughed. But the thought stayed on my mind and I decided to blog about it. What do you all think isn't it going a little too far? I know they are concerned because of what had happen in Connecticut, but why make the kids feel uncomfortable? I feel better airing out my thoughts. Thank you all for listening. Be well and have a great Easter.

My poor Nali....

     A former friend of mine gave me black cat, he is a American Bombay  he is the sweetest cat, very gentle but also a good protector. I have had this black cat since he was 9 months old so he is about 6 or 7 years now, he is a good cat. But today he scared the crap out of me, he usually is very careful when he walks and he balances on the smallest edge, today he FELL off his normal perch and landed on his face and couldn't get back up. Oh man it scared me I had my Dad pick him up and check him he was ok but he was kinda confused. The reason I am talking about this now is because I started thinking what would happen when or if he were to die. I love this cat he is a well trained cat and is so protective and adorable what would I do with out him.  Well I need to go now. Hope you all have a great weekend.

Really me??

   So as you all know I have tendons and nerve issues, I have tried a lot to get better despite what the doctors tell me which is that I have to live with the pain and the minimal use of my rights arm. That is why I took matters into my own hands, I have started exercising more taking extra vitamins and eating more healthy by cutting down on carbohydrates. I read something on the Internet that explained about swelling of the nerves and tendons. It said that certain foods have something in them that causes nerves and tendons to swell and those foods consists of starch. So  I have decided to do the best I can to make myself better, since the doctors are pussyfooting around. This week marks the second week since I got better for my flu and laryngitis, that I have been exercising sadly to say this is the first day that my back and right side are killing. I figured if one or two things or both, I slept wrong, I pinched a nerve or the limited use of my right arm caused the muscles and everything else just to go wonky. So to everyone reading have a great day.

Karate.....

    Well my boy has been in Kenpo Karate for four years already, he does very well I have to say that it also teaches good morals. As in not fighting just to fight, defend yourself when you are attacked, learn to listen, discipline, courage, good manners, well I am sure you get the point. I have taken martial arts as well when I was in high school, college and actually a few years ago. There are so many different forms of karate, all teaching different things all of course with the basic teachings of courage, discipline and good manners ( such as politeness, listing and paying mind to elders etc). Some of the forms of karate are as follows  of course Kenpo (self-defense) , Aikido ( is mainly throws and joint locks), Jeet Kune Do (is mental, spiritual, and physical techniques it was introduce by Bruce Lee), Ju Jitsu (has a lot to do with flexibility and strength), Judo (attack and defensive technique), Kung Fu (is the most powerful form because mixes many styles of fighting together), Tea Kwon Do (Artistic form of self-defense), Tai Chi (is slow movements for self-defense also has a lot of health benefits). Like I said before in College I took Judo and I remember what the teacher told us he said that in Judo you always have to incapacitate your attacker, he told us if someone attacks you make sure they CANNOT get back up. I remember a few moves not a lot I also remember that there was a lot of falling we had to learn to fall so we could take down our assailants. I will admit I did not finish the class, all the falling hurt my back of course I am sure its because I am not a small girl but at least I got something out of it. I also took Tai Chi for a while a few summers ago, I enjoyed it tremendously, it was slow and it helped stretch and move my muscles around, if you have any physical problems I suggest taking Tai Chi its slow and the movement are simple, and it also teaches you self defense. So the last thing I would like to say is if you have a chance to learn some kind of self-defense, Do It! It is a great form of exercise and strengthens muscles that many of us don't use on a daily basis. So to all my readers God Bless and stay moving....


                            

Sucks being Sick

 I have been sick for a month so far, the doctor says I had a combination of strep, the flu, and laryngitis, yet my voice has not come back. I am so unset that I cannot talk, granted I feel better as in my throat doesn't hurt as bad anymore my ears are not that painful and my body stopped being achey, BUT I HAVE NO VOICE!! Granted I am just writing this because I want to complain and vent. You know what else chaps my hyde is that I had a chance go to an audition and of course without  voice I can not. Oh well I guess God had other plans for me. But believe me I get another chance and I will be at any audition. Good luck everyone. Stay sain and stay healthy....
