V VII Hero

aww thanks. yeh but apparently I come off as insane to ppl, because I spend my time helping others instead of trying to make lots of money. ppl think im nuts, for wanting to live without a car, or own a house. but i try to shrug off ppl's negativities, and just continue being myself.

that route actually sounds good to me. you want to wait til I move out to portland? so we can both study the same things together and help each other out and whatnot. cause that be great. Kollision's way sounds much cheaper and easier then the way I was gonna do it. heh. it looks like Im gonna try to get a local warehouse job again, get out of debt, save up and move. because i dont think college is for me, my mom wants to shove me on medication and make me go to counseling, because she thinks I am "free-riding" my way thru life, and am too sel-indulgent. anyway thats for another time I wont even get into that bs. but ive got a lot breathin down my neck.

yeh congrats dude on the certification. youre gonna make a great trainer, as you know your information, nutrition, and are huge! so you must be doing something right.

I'm planning to come to Portland. Im just trying to figure out a way to get out of debt, and make my way over there. haha you need to grow the blonde mullet again! it was sooo

once you cut the hair off, tie it into one big bundle/braid/ponytail to send to them.

its very easy to catch cats if youre fast. I had to do it at the animal hospital. its safe to do and non threatening to both you and the cat. bring a heavy blanket with you. what you do is throw it over the cat (the blanket has to be heavy enough or else when you throw it, it will take forever to fall). the cat doesnt realize what is going on, and therefore wont scratch or bite. gingerly but swiftly scoop the cat and the blanket up in one motion, and then bring the cat over to the owner. if you are scared of hurting the cat with the blanket, or you do not think you can do it. you can always risk getting scratched and bit. mother cats carry their kittens around by their neck. they have extra skin on the back of their necks for grabbing and carrying them. it doesnt hurt them at all. if you pick up a cat like this, they cant scratch you. once you pick the cat up, you can then wrap em in the blanket (with his head out), around his feet, so he does not scratch you. and then carry em over to the owner in your hands. I assure you if done properly neither you nor the cat will be harmed.

thanks kollision! as you can tell im going through a "1/4" life mid crisis. heh

What is this "pick on Natalie" week? First Sirdle and now Hero? i guess i will take a hiatus from here for a while then. Compassion Girl OUT no dont go. I didnt mean no harm. please stay Natalie. I was just playin. I actually love your messages.

I have horrible posture, my shoulders slouch foward. its from playing bass/guitar all the time. any specific exercises I can do to bring my shoulders back? my chest is really tight, and my back/shoudlers are very lose. and im starting to lose range of motion in my shoulders as well. what are some exercises to stretch them out? thanks

straight edge is a conscious decision. you decide one day that you want to label yourself as "straight edge", and you vowe to never touch alcohol EVER again, not even a sip. the same goes for smoking and premisucous sex. so unless you vowe to permanently give up those things, and label yourselfe edge, you arent sXe, youre just drug-free. kollision, you would be "drug-free". I'm a virgin as well and waiting til I'm married/in love.

I used to pick wild blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries in my woods, but all the bushes have been mowed down by the development. I still go to beltzville lake and pick blackberries when theyre in season. its rad.

10" isnt really that long. my hair is just under 10 inches and its taken me 10 months to grow. in two more months, that will be a year, and I am cutting it off.

there are many "meat-eating" parents that malnourish/poison their children everyday with flesh and dairy products. children are getting fatter, lethargic, and pumped fulled of horomones, pesticides, etc. how come this is not in the news?

my hair just needs a couple more inches and then I am donating it all to Locks of Love. its for cancer patients who go thru kemo therapy and lose their hair, and want a wig. i think donating ones hair is a great gesture to help out others. it doesnt cost ya a thing to grow ur hair, everyone can do it, and you will be not only be putting hair on someones head, you will also be putting a smile on their face. I urge everyone to think about growing their hair out a lil bit. why get it cut off and throw it away, when it could be donated and help out others. http://www.locksoflove.org/

I might beat compassionategirl with how long this post is JK you know I <3 ya. Ive read that both veggiechik and kollision are both certified trainers! that is awesome. how hard is it to find employment? I really want to go get certified but I am not sure if I want to drop $5400 to do so, if Im not gonna be able to find employment. Im broke and in debt already as it is. here is where i was thinking of attending: http://www.nationalpersonaltraininginstitute.com/ Ive checked it out and it seems like a good deal. some classroom learning and hands on. does anyone know if a gym (if I work there at front desk, sales, etc) will pay me to go get certified? cause that be a lot neater. I really want to move to portland, oregon more than anything. but i guess I need a "career" in order to find employment. my original goal (since I was a teen) was to go to the rookie academy in new zealand before I turned 23 (im 22 in november). http://www.rookieacademy.com/ become a universally certified snowboard instructor (i taught a few yrs here in PA, and have been doing snowsports since the age of 2). but most of everyone i know was down on me doing this, saying its not a real career. so i went to community college. it sucked. so i went to real uni. and that sucked too. switched majors a few times. then dropped out cause school is not for me at all. I am tired of schools. even the personal training institute sounds good in theory, but i am tired of learning from textbooks and all that. I hated anatomy and physiology in college, and I fails it. even when i tried hard to pass it. i just cant memorize a ton of stuff. and here I am with zero dollars, owe money for college loans, and have no idea what i want to do with my life. I just want to get out and do things. Im tired of being stuck at home working shit jobs to invest what lil money i earn back into making my car functional. its one viscious cycle. Id like to be living in portland, snowboarding.working at mt hood/timberline, getting around using public transportation and cycling, bodybuilding like crazy, travelling a lot, rocking out, and continuing to help push veganism into the mainstream. I dont care about money, fame, and fortune. just helping ppl and animals, and enjoying life while I can. in the snowboard "offseason" id like to go instruct in a different country every yr (since i will be certified to instruct snowboarding anywhere in the world), and then come back on during the regular season. anyway i know i am rambling and more thoughts will come to me and i will be sure to post them later. but does anyone have any "2 cents" on my situation. thanks.

heyyo

the foo fighters are going to be my new favorite band to lift to. Ive listened to em on and off for years. theyre new album is amazing. I cant wait to get some money and buy it.

that is so damn cool

my mom feeds the dog regular dog food (dry) and my cat regular cat food (dry). and my dad feeds his cat regular cat food (wet and dry). yet both Rascal and Coco love my food. haha. i wish i could find vegan dog/cat food around here so they stop eating my food! lol. I worked at an animal hospital and im still clueless.....but..... arent dogs and cats carniverous and therefore meant to eat flesh? but since they are domesticated, they cant hunt for themselves. even though my cat does hunt often, they both rely on my mom for food. so how does one feed an animal the diet they are supposed to have without the cruelty of processed animal food?

Im straight edge. no drinking no smoking no premiscuous sex

today I was driving around and somehow ended up finding a road I've seen all my life but have never been down. So I went for a long drive on this road, and it brought me out to some really beautiful hills and farmland. on the corner of the street was a produce stand. a nice woman and her husband stood there selling organic vegetables. I bought a thing of tomatoes. I brought them home and washed off the dirt on them. I just ate a select handful and I have to say that they are probably the best damn tomatoes I have ever had.

im talking about slow ones
