i've been neglecting this things again.
so life.
you know the saying "when it rains, it pours"?
yeah, i've come to realization that is more than true.
this past little while has been nothing but stress, tears and sleepless nights.
it all started about a month and a half ago..
a really really close family passed away.
she was sick,
but no one expected her to go that fast.
she went in her sleep,
her husband jumped out of bed that morning,
letting her sleep while he got her breakfast ready.
her daughter booked that day off of work to take her shopping.
when davis went to wake her up,
she was cold;
she was already gone when he got up.
i miss her so much,
i still expect her to walk through the door when i am at moms.
RIP Sister <3
before the reality of that even set in with me/the rest of family,
things started to go drastically down hill...
my great uncle had an operation the day before sister died to remove cancer in his throat,
everything went off without a hitch, doctors were amazed how smoothly the whole process went,
then 3am (the night sister died) he had a massive heart attack.
form the strain on his body and him trying to fight to stay alive,
he lost vision in one eye.
he was given 72 hours to live, everyone was at the hopspital saying their goodbyes,
missing the funeral.
they waited until he was strong enough and then they put a pacemaker in,
everything was going good for a while,
then the pacemaker failed and his condition was detierating.
when he was stong enough the pacemaker was replaced and moved closer to his heart.
he got strong again.
then infection spread though his body like wildfire.
the only way to save him was to remove his stomach,
which was full of gangreen.
there were alot of ups and downs since then,
and a few days ago he got the news that the cancer has spread throught his body,
nothing can be done.
he may be coming home in a week or so,
we are hoping he stays strong for a while,
but not we understand too.
in the midst of all of this andrew lost his job.
so i am left to pay everything,
which is pretty impossible with just my paycheque.
we are just barley scraping by.
he is supposed to be getting hired for technical thing to do with computers,
which will up his alley,
biut that's not until october 6th-ish.
by then it will be two months of just me working,
it's damn hard.
a few fridays ago,
coming home from mom's (she lives in sydney mines, we live in sydney),
we were on the highway and the car literally just died,
all power, breaks, everything.
if it wasn;t for the emergency break,
we would have been killed.
engine/motor/rad all failed.
not worth fixing.
we can not afford a new car right now.
add to bills $60 a week for cabs to and from work.
earlier this week i alsofound out my great aunt has breast cancer.
it runs like wildfire in my family,
which scares the hell out of me.
when she was on the way out the door to meet with the surgon,
she got a phone call,
her mother in law died.
this lady was everyones "nanny".
she had to cancel the surgon appointment to be with her family.
ontop of all of that,
she is still trying to deal with her son's unexpected death that happened three months ago.
my family needs a break. I need a break.
/EXHALE.
guys,
i am not looking for sympathy or anything,
i just needed to get that out somehow.
i've talked about it so much it seems rehearsed,
so this sort of helped.
ps. sorry for the spelling

i'm just passing time.

i don't exactly know why,
not like i have anything extravagant planned.

i know what it is because i ordered it myself,
from him.

happy is pouring from every orifice of my body right now,
and then some.
such a welcomed change.
where do i even start?
as mentioned in a previous entry andrew and i will be engaged soon,
the ring is picked out,
upgraded,
ordered,
paid for,
and the diamond is being set as we speak.
now we just have to wait for it to be shipped,
and andrew to give it to me in some crazy way.
(it frustrates me that the whole process is so long,
but i know it will be worth it in the end.)
now for some new news.
andrew and i have been buying things for when we move out,
for what seems like ever now,
and we recently decided that d-day would be in may.
so we picked up the merchant thursday evening,
came back to my place,
circled places of interest,
and started calling,
the ones of most interest first.
the first place we called she said,
"i work 12 hour shifts,
lucky you actually caught me when i was home,
can you come see the place now?"
i just looked blankly at andrew for a second,
and we decided what the hell.
sooo we went and looked at it,
AWESOME place.
told her we were really interested,
she said think about it,
and call me tomorrow,
soooo we did.
and we got the freaking place.
SO STOKED!
it's in sydney river in a very nice neighborhood.
it's all redone,
just over a year ago.
two big bedrooms.
big living room,
CLEAN,
and just really,
everything we were looking for.
i honestly haven't been so happy in a while,
everything is finally falling into place.
ps.
something that else make me super happy...
tattoo count is now up to eight!

I'm gonna ride this plane out of your life again
I wish that I could stay, but you argue
More than this I wish, you could've seen my face
In backseats staring out, the window
I'll do anything for you
Kill anyone for you
So leave yourself intact
'Cause I will be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I love you
The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up
I've earned through hope and faith
On the curves around your face
That I'm the one you'll hold forever
If morning never comes for either one of us
Then this I pray to you wherever
I'll do anything for you
This story is for you
('Cause I'd do anything you want me to for you)
I'll do anything for you
Kill anyone for you
So leave yourself intact
'Cause I won't be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I loved you
The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up
The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
'Til you decide to wake up

History
Infomercials proliferated in the United States after 1984 when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) eliminated regulations, which were established in the 1950s and 1960s, on the commercial content of television. Much of their early development can be attributed to business partners Edward Valenti and Barry Beecher, who developed the format to sell the Ginsu Knife.
On occasion infomercials have been used for election campaigns. Most notably was that of former President of the United States candidate, Ross Perot, when he introduced his 1996 candidacy with running mate, Pat Choate, using an infomercial. Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate Harry Browne also used an infomercial in 2000, which was hosted by David Ruprecht, former host of the game show Supermarket Sweep. Lyndon LaRouche was also known for buying time on television networks to run his own campaign infomercials for each of his presidential runs.
Some televangelists such as Robert Tilton and Peter Popoff buy television time from infomercial brokers representing TV stations around the U.S.A. and even some mass-distributed cable networks that are not adverse to carrying religious programming. A block of such programming appears weekdays on BET under the umbrella title BET Inspiration.
A Little More..
Infomercials are television commercials that run as long as a typical television program (roughly thirty minutes or an hour). Infomercials, also known as paid programming (or teleshopping in Europe), are normally shown outside of peak hours, such as late at night or early in the morning. The word infomercial is a portmanteau which is formed by combining the words "information" and "commercial". As in any other form of advertisement, the content is a commercial message designed to represent the viewpoints and to serve the interest of the sponsor. Infomercials are often made to closely resemble actual television programming, usually talk shows, with minimal acknowledgement that the program is actually an advertisement.
Infomercials are designed to solicit a direct response which is specific and quantifiable and are, therefore, a form of direct response marketing (not to be confused with direct marketing). The ad response is delivered directly to television viewers by infomercial advertisers through the television ad. In normal commercials, advertisers do not solicit a direct response from viewers, but, instead, brand their product in the market place amongst potential buyers.
now that we got that out of the way...this journal is friends only.
