Bangkok Curfew for Tourists

  Have you ever wanted to go to Bangkok? If so then this will tell you now is not the right time. Bangkok was taken over by military, who made the law that tourists along with everyone else have to be back at home (or hotel) by 10:00 P.M.
  This is the time of year for Coup, but the military is trying to stop it from happening this year. The people are not just doing what they are told. They are keeping clubs open later, just to see what will happen. So far it is working and hopefully the curfew will be changed to either midnight or 4.
  Hundreds of tourists from all over have cancelled their hotel reservations this week alone. Even singer Taylor Swift canceled a SOLD OUT show. Which she was supposed to put on June 9. Over 40 countries including USA and Hong Kong are warning people to only travel there if it is absolutely necessary. People are afraid civil war might break out. I just have one question. Why can't we all get along?

A Thought on Cubicles

We all have those fears. You know, the ones where you don't think the elevator will open? Or the ones where your swimming underwater and you think someone will be above you, blocking your source of air?
    Well this is kind of like that.We would like to tell you about cubicles. Cubicles include your own personal claustrophobic space, with walls. So about the fear... They take away your sense of freedom and make you wish that you were more successful when you go back to your high school reunion. While the rest of your old classmates are out there living life, working as doctors and lawyers, living on the side of the lake in a mansion with a dog, cat, bird, and maybe a  Jesus Lizard kept in the three story library, you will be working in a cubicle. You will be living in an apartment, three months behind on your bills, with a leaky refrigerator that screams at you all night long. Your neighborhood will consist of cracked pavement and broken windows emitting muggy drafts through the breaks in the glass.
      So do you kind of get our point now? Well you're not going to get away that easily. So back to the cubicles. You are sitting there and there is that one guy. The guy who has the nasty, terrible cough of death. You don't want to sit near them. The longer you sit there, the more you want to leave. You see gray all around you. Gray is all you can think of. The air is hot and it is hard to breathe because the walls feel like they are closing in on you. You hear telephones ringing all day long and hundreds of fingers tapping on keyboards. Ring ring ring...tap tap tap....ring ring ring.... tap tap tap.
       Staring at the clock minute by minute, the day is lugging by. You are awaiting your only escape of the day, which is a twenty minute lunch and most of it is spent on fighting over the microwave. You constantly think, why? Why did I do this to myself and not pay attention in high school?
       Now think about what you thought before reading this blog on cubicles. Did it make you change your perspective on them, or are you that one guy who is headed down that road? But if you actually work in a cubicle and are reading this, we feel your pain and are sorry if it comes across as offensive. We did not mean it that way.

Dog Befriends Disabled Kitten





Ralphee (the kitten) was born with a neurological disorder. She was born with cerebellar hypoplasia, or CH. that means her cerebellum was not completely mature at birth, a problem that will not get worse but it wont get better either. Her cerebellum controls her fine motor skills and coordination. The disorder however did not stop Max (the dog) from befriending her immediately and following her everywhere. Ralphee shares in Max's friendship she gets excited when he is nearby and leaps into the air before playfully charging in his direction. Ralphee is not letting her disability get in her way, and neither is Max.

Health Science Class

There are a lot of skills to learn in the health field. If you don't learn to do those skills properly then you might miss if something is wrong with someone or maybe you will tell them there is something wrong when there's not. People might get tired of learning, but the way medicine is practiced changes every day. Medicine and technology is evolving and we have to evolve with it. Especially doctors and nurses. Think of it this way, would you want a doctor or a nurse working on you who didn't finish medical school or who skipped most days to go party? How about someone who can't pass the state board exam? I don't know about you, but I want someone who knows what they are doing to be my doctor or nurse. Think about this, they have to know how to take blood pressure (if they do it wrong then you can get hurt), height, weight, blood, if you have anything abnormal with you, then they can help you in finding out what's wrong. Would you want someone who couldn't do any of that to be a medical practitioner? I know I don't.

Accidental Boarder Crossing

A United States Marine was driving in his truck with three legally purchased guns when he accidentally crossed the boarder into Mexico. Tahmooressi was arrested and jailed for the misunderstanding. He is being held in a jail in Mexico. Tahmooressi is supposed to report to a Civil Affairs Group in Florida for the Marines, but he is still locked up. If Tahmooressi doesn't get out before he is supposed to report to Florida he will most likely get discharged for not showing up. Tahmooressi has served two tours in Afghanistan for the United States. He even suffered PTSD upon his return. Tahmooressi said he had no intentions of running or deserting. He attempted to escape for the jail in Tijuana and was then transferred to a federal penitentiary in Tecate, Mexico. A petition to make Obama intervene in the case has been started.

Stay Strong!


 
http://www.collegemagazine.com/editorial/3938/Senioritis-A-Diagnosis-for-Slacker-Students



Around this time of year high school seniors start slacking off. I think it's sad how so many seniors just start not caring. They should keep going till the end. I mean really, why give up now when you are so close to the finish line?

If you are like one of those people who worked hard your entire high school career why give up now? All you are doing is ruining your high school grades whether you think it's important or not, it is. Even after you have been accepted into college, potential employers will look at it and what will they see? They will see that when you get what you want you will stop caring and start slacking off. That is not something you want people to say or even think about you. So just STAY STRONG until it's over you are almost done.

Problems with Technology!

 http://www.cyracksinternetbiz.com/2013/08/how-to-increase-internal-memory-of-your.html

Have you ever had problems with technology? That does not only mean computers, it could be cell phones or even printers. This blog is about cell phones though. Why do cell phones have so many types of storage? Why does the storage disappear on its own? Better yet where does the space go when it leaves?

People everywhere are asking these same questions. You are not alone! Just today my phone lost 16 MB of storage all on its own it was just sitting still. I didn't even touch it now it's saying now space!! My friend is having the same problem' but her phone won't let her open anything on her phone at all.

What is the point of cell phones if they are not going to work when we need them. I mean come on the whole point is to use them when needed, and my friend couldn't even take pictures at our prom because it was not working. Prom is an important part of teenagers lives and their phone wouldn't let them document it. I think someone needs to fix this problem or tell us how to.
