Broken Heart!!!

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 19:42:39 -0400

About five minutes ago we had breaking news. That news was the release of the blood alcohol level of Scott Owens. In case you don’t know the story, police say Scott Owens was driving the wrong-way down the Old Las Vegas highway early June 28th. That ended in a head on crash between he and a car full of five Santa Fe teenagers. Four of those teenagers are dead, the drive is in the hospital, and he walked away from the crash unharmed. Reports say he smelled of alcohol, had blood shot eyes and stumbled around the crash scene. He refused a breathalyzer test from officers at the scene. Officers then woke up a judge and a warrant for his blood was ordered. From here on the story just gets worse. Parents are having to bury their children, while another set of parents sit in the hospital in urgent care hoping their child survives. This past weekend was the last memorial service for one of the teens. Memorial services for all four of them were held all last week and along with them came very sad stories. So back to the breaking news. The Santa Fe District Attorney decided to not release Scott Owens blood alcohol level to minimize pretrial publicity. As you can guess some of the media did not take that choice lightly. Some requested the results from the State Health Department. The department told the DA they will be releasing the results, that’s when the DA decided to send out a press release with the results. Scott Owens was driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.16, that is over twice the legal limit. A search warrant was also given to the driver of the other car Avree Koffman, for her blood to test her blood alcohol level. Her results were 0.0. So basically four teens lost their lives because a man decided to get behind the wheel after having a few drink. I hope that this man is locked away for a long time, it’s just too bad the death penalty is no longer available in New Mexico because i think he would be a prime candidate!!!! This terrible tragedy give me yet another reason not to drink and drive!!!

This will drive you NUTS!!!:

This will drive you nuts!! Have fun! The object of the game is to move the red block around Without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls. If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal. It’s been Said that the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are Expected to go for at least 2 minutes. Give it a try but be careful…it is addictive!!

Talk in the Steam Room....

Sat, 11 Apr 2009 02:14:06 -0400

so this week i did really good and went to the gym every day… that is something that I am really proud of!!! So on thursday I swim laps, sit in the hot tub and wait for another woman to go into the steam room so I am not the only one in there with a bunch of guys. So another woman comes and i go into the steam room also. So once the steam gathers the men come running. So two of them start having a conversation about losing weight. one of the men is rather large and the other is the same. So they start asking eachother how much they have lost, what they are doing to lose weight and so on. So the one guy says do you drink they guy answers no. So then he says do you do drugs, he says no again, then he says do you smoke weed and he’s like no. I don’t do any drugs they are bad. So then the guy goes on about all the drugs he has done and how he was a junkie and all and all the time i was like wow… is this really something you talk about in the steam room!!! So then he says this “I was in deep, then i found God and he took it all away.” When I hear someone say some thing like that it really makes me think!!! What I usually think is why did you start in the first place…. or why did it take you so long to stop…. or if you are faced with it again can you really turn away. Then of course the news person comes out in me and although it is more of a feature I though it would make like a good news topic… just to hear what diffferent strangers have to say when they are in a steam room of all places…. ok maybe not a news story but i think it would be interesting. It will be called Conversations through the Steam!!! haha

MY SIX WORDS!!

Wed, 25 Feb 2009 19:23:00 -0500

So I am not sure what this six words is that Anthony and Rob always do… but after reading them almost everyday I have seemed to finally come up with my own. Working in the news business I haven’t been to affected by the murders, crashes, deaths, digging up of bones on the west mesa (if you watch fox 2 or news 13 you would know about this! hahaha) robberies etc. What has gotten to me is having to report on the constant layoffs that are happening daily. So therefore here are my six words.

THANK. GOD. I. HAVE. A. JOB!!!!!

Nearing the End.... YIKES!!!

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 01:28:00 -0500

So it is now Tuesday night of one of the last weeks that I have as an undergrad students… or as a student at all… that’s right I graduate in 11 days and needless to say… yes I am scared shit less!! ha ha… May people say why am I scared… 1. I’m graduating with a degree in broadcast journalism… 2. I am graduating with a job… and 3. I’m graduating… that’s a good reason alone!!! So why am I scared… hell if I know!!! It’s a feeling that I really don’t have a reason for…. most people are scared for some certain reason but this scared feeling comes with no reason at all…. maybe it’s because I am actually growing up… I mean when I look at it I’m sorta like my parents now…. I have a salary job…. I’m gonna have bills and I’m gonna have to fend for myself! I am no longer a broke college student…. I’m just broke!!! I guess it’s the whole graduating and growing up and not returning for school in the spring that gets me. Many people are registering for class and stressing out over it and I’m not…. I’m actually not stressing over a lot of stuff like finals or big projects or anything like that…. i’m stressing about getting everything packed up and moved out of my house so I can start work on the 22nd….. AAAAHHHHH…. it isn’t more “when I grow up” things its “man I have to grow up!!!”

See this is what happens on break…So I got a lil bored and decided to help my grandma out and cut her dogs nails…. well after they were cut they were really sharp so I decided to file them down and round them out…. well that led me to the awesome idea of painting them… and well here is the result… needless to say Lola was mad at me for the rest of the night for doing this to her…. but doesn’t she look pretty…. haha!!!

P.S. Thats my grandma holding her!!

Worst Shower?

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 21:31:02 -0400

So I never thought that worst and shower would be in the same sentence but that is exactly what happen to me today. First off I love to take showers I think that they are the best thing in the world and very comforting and relaxing. Anyway, I didn’t want to take a shower toay becasue it was so cold and I knew that the shower could either warm me up or make the coldness even worse. Plus if you know me you know that I just hate to be cold!! So i decided to give the shower a shot and right away it starts off bad. Getting into the shower I jam my toe on the tub and that wasn’t the best feeling with cold feet. So it gets better and I start to warm up when i decide to wash my face. So as I am washing my face first off I get soap in my mouth, which is something that has happened before so it’s not that bad. Then soap goes in my eye and burns like hell and goes up my nose to the point that I am blowing bubbles with my nose, and the soap up my nose isn’t the best feeling it burns like hell and still is!!! So lets just say that I couldn’t wait to get out of that shower oh ya and also freeze my butt off at the same time!!! UGH!!!

Morning Breath...

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 01:28:21 -0400

So as I sit here watching another re-run of sex and the city on TBS there are many wonders that pass my mind. The biggest one though is morning breath… there are often times on this show and many others that they wake up in the morning and make out and have sex… now yes I know… it’s a show rebecca its not real!! But in reality does that really happen. Do people wake up and make out with eachother… morning breath and all! Now yes I do have a boyfriend and we do often sleep in the same bed and wake up together but in the morning I will either not say anyhting to him or make a dash to the bathroom and at least swish some mouth wash. I just wonder if that happens becasue some people have some nasty breath and if it is so that morning breath does the trick to some morning “fun” then I must be in the wrong boat becasue that is nasty!!! Ha ha just thought I would give you something fun to think about!!!

Up at 2am...

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 06:02:56 -0400

Why…. why have I been up since 2 and still can’t seem to fall asleep!!! Its like my brain doesn’t want to stop working even though I am so mentally drained I have no idea what to think. Today was so mentally hard and it is still going to get harder, not fun! Sometimes I wish that I was still in kindergarten where the biggest problem was having to have a nap time or making sure that there is enough crayons to finish my dawing. Those sure were the days! Or why can’t I be thirty already! To me I hope that by thirty I should have my life starterd and be well into it that I know my daily routine and don’t have to worry about anything else besides that. I will hopefully be in a happy marriage with at that time at least two kids that are on my mind. It’s hard to believe that my parents by the age of 23 were graduated from school, had jobs, were married and well on their way to having kids and living a happy life together. I am 22 years old, about to graduate, and not sure where I will be in two years and who I will be with. What scares me the most is that I could very well be alone and spending my time at work becasue that is all I have. I watch Sex and the City and although I love the show I don’t want to be like any of the characters in it. They are 30 (or older not too sure) with their jobs and eachother. Although they do have eachother are they ever really happy? To me I have to say NO!! I don’t want to be like that, all I ever want from life is to be happy and my biggest fear is that I won’t be. Recently my best friend tried to move so that she can be happy and it ended up that she never was, although she did only spend like four weeks I think away from her normal surroundings she came right back to them. So that makes me wonder will I be like that and go away for a month and hate it so much and not be happy that I give up and return to my usual surroundings? I really hope not. I think that I can make it and really hope I do! I think that there is enough rambling going on here for one night and it’s time to try to go back to sleep especially since it’s now 4 in the morning!!! Awsome so Im looking at like 3 hours of sleep hopefully!!! UGH!!!

HELP!!

Fri, 12 Sep 2008 02:12:57 -0400

Growing up is hard to do. Its that time!! Im reaching the end of my education era and stepping out into the “real world”. So the question that I have is am I ready? Am I really ready to move on and live on my own and actualy take care of my self? Yes I am sort of done that these past four and a half years but I always had my big sister with me and I was always just a few hours away from my parents and that made me feel more comfortable. So now after December who knows where I will be? I can either be a few hours drive away as usual or I can be a few hours flight away. It’s not moving and succeeding that scares me it’s thinking that I am not mature enough or ready enough to be that far away from the people that I love. Yes I know that I have to grow up sometime and I have to get off of mom and dad’s lap and I plan to do that but right now am I ready? I guess maybe everyone goes through this and who knows maybe it’s just me all I know is that everyday that it gets closer to graduation i get closer to having a panic attack!!!
