PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE AND SEND A "PleaCast." SUPPORT COMPLETE BEACH ACCESS!

KEEP ACCESSES OPEN TO ALL: This is "PleaCast" for all supporters who want to keep the beach accesses open for all to enjoy. Submitting this plea will not only go to the Cape Hatteras Seashore Protection Association, but also to the groups who have filed the lawsuits to restrict beach access, along with many others who are already negotiating to resolve this issue. Preserve our economy, community, & recreational resources). SEND A "PleaCast"

In Fall of 2007, National Audubon Society, The Defenders of Wildlife and the Southern Environmental Law Center filed suit in Federal District Court against the United States of America to limit or ban access to many of the primary areas of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, including Oregon Inlet, Cape Point, most of Ocracoke and others. On March 13, 2008 the Dept of Justice declined to contest the lawsuit which will be heard April 4, 2008 in Raleigh NC. This means that the beach access will be effectively closed at that time. This will also have a devastating effect on property values and the economy as a whole.

Remember April 4, 2008 is just around the corner.

The Ew Side of Life

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed earlier. It was three in the afternoon and my room was freaking hot and sweltering as if I'm trapped inside one of the flaming tombs at the sixth circle of hell. I felt like I'm a crumpled dumpling with a headache. As soon as I jumped out of bed, I went to the bathroom to take a looong cool bath thinking that it is the only thing to perish the fire inside my head (and body). As I reached the bathroom I thought I could feel ocean paradise but good grief, before I could drown myself with water, one big fat healthy cockroach is staring back at me. Looks like it's a female because she has an egg about to go out of her rear end but still stuck midway. Yaks. I don't know whether I would cry or die at that point because it is ready to fly and I could almost see its eyes looking directly at me. I made a quick exit out of the bathroom then sulked at a corner of my boarding house. Gawd. Am I lucky or what? Just remembered that I created a post last year regarding those spleeny mold-wrap roaches in my multiply blog... Nice.

WHAT IF ROACHES ARE PINK?
Taken from my Multiply 'Blag'

Roaches are definitely one of the most disgusting creatures that ever existed in this world. They have the color of brown dung; they smell like, uhhh, moldy sewage muck (don't ask how I found out); they have horrendous saw-like legs which could make crabs' legs look way sexier; they have antennaes that look like two alive hairs; and they are fond of flying towards you, as if they have nothing else to do with their lives.

You crush them and their icky white insides would secrete from their unsightly little frame and if you could get any luckier, it splatter a few more inches omnidirectionally. Right, eww is the word. Eww.

One evening, as I've reached my place, I saw a couple of roaches mating at my doorstep. Yup, no kidding. Their rumps or something were stuck together as if they're glued. Like witnessing a sappy case of PDA, I wanted to tell them off -to go and hump somewhere else. How I wish. I waited for them to go away so I could enter my room without them crawling upon me but only succeeded to shoo them away when I threw a piece of wood at them. Oh please! Get a room!

Some people might not get it as to why some of us despise these eerie creatures so much. Anyway, despite their adversness, there's one nice thing about them - they're good in curing the worst cases of drowsiness as they give some of us a good rush of adrenaline. The problem is, what I lack is drowsiness, not adrenaline. Sigh, if only they are colored pink.

Caustic Earth-Vexing Migraine and The Exasperated Lemon

What a paunchy ill-witted mother of all luck I had bumped into now. Just when I had the motivation to change the bleak outlook that I have on my so-called occupation, Death would suddenly appear not to take me away but to remind me that nothing could help me feel better but quit. Sheesh. I just looooove this game.

The story is, a thought just suddenly crept in my mind telling me that If I surround yourself with positive people and avoid the negative ones, a positive energy would enter my mind thus shooing the negative aura inside me. Call it cheesy, call it ludicrous, but hey that's what was left in my tottering mind earlier. I bugged the happy-looking people, looked at those who had funny amusing interesting faces, and didn't talk to those who have looks that irritate me. I was up and ready to be "positive". Hmm... Sounds good. However, I was reminded again that that the people that I'm always talking and dealing with have a very strong dumb negative aggravating (whew!) energy flowing out of their system and it wouldn't fail to reach me even if they are staying in Uranus. And no shit, they won't ever stop calling and talking.

I wonder if I still look my age now. Maybe I look like I'm 45 years old or more. Hah!

The Agony of Monday

Okay, okay, today's not monday... But boy, I sure do hate freaking mondays. Stumbled upon this comic strip from channelate.com. Hmmm... Reminds me of my favorite enemy - Myself.

**Image may appear like it's too small to see. If you have any common sense, you know how to resolve it. If you call tech support just because you still cannot read what those stupid people in the comic strip say, just prepare to be laughed at.

As I sit here in the classroom waiting for my group's turn to take the practical exam, I was wondering if I could still survive having this kind of life. Just got out of work early this morning, slept for four hours, woke up late for my class, haven't eaten any food for 15 hours, and in an hour I will take an exam that I haven't studied yet. Sitting infront of a computer with lack of rest, my mind is currently switched to a blank state with no interest in reviewing my online materials that should help me with my so-called exam later. I haven't fully realized that I'm already typing what my poor damned mind (or stomach) is thinking. Now, wait, there seems to be a dolt on the next room singing loud enough for the world to hear. If I haven't had that four-hour sleep, he would be in the headlines tonight for being thrown out of the 3rd floor window with a pen stuck to his head.

Back to the topic, I wonder what other things I could do with my life that would make me feel for once that I have some reason to live. I had once loved my job - even when I have to work at the middle of the night where majority of other people are sleeping soundly in the cool night. I loved the people who I was with at that time. I could say that I could take charge of what I was working on before. But now, everything looks like a mess, I'm a mess. I still have my friends but I was plunged right to hell. Hell should be my home, I'm used to a hellish life. I could be satan's boss, I could live with that, but the problem is that it looks like hell is already infested with angels - lots of them. 'Angels' trying to watch your every move and because they are somewhat perfect, everytime I make a mistake or do something that's not in their book of good deeds I would feel like I don't have a right to exist. I am always tempted to shout, "go to hell," but heck, we are already in hell. "Go to heaven" doesn't sound right either.

Oh, goodie... It's my group's turn to take the exam now. Jeez, I hope that these people know how to solve the problem for the test because for sure I can't do anything more than goggle at the devices.
