How do you know what type of story appeals to you and even better why this story line draws you in. Is it based on what or how much you were read to as a child? When you become an adolescent and you read your first real full length book and it draws you in to whatever world, place, people it is about. Is there special interest in your own heart and soul for something and your only way to get there is through a book a movie a story? Maybe just maybe it is a great escape from the life you are in or an adventure or its just plain fun, thrilling, an adrenaline rush.

I am pretty sure it is different for everyone and the same. Contradictory yes, but there is so much involved in how and what we say read and why. I myself was read to as a child like most bed time stories and encouraged to read myself in school and at home. I was not one who had an interest in reading everything or in general. My love came from the enjoyment and fear of scary movies first. Later I realized scary books were even better because your imagination could take you way further than some movie ever could. Real life issues and struggles have always interested me. In my life, the people around me and strangers I have had an interested in what they have done and needed to do to fix their problems or how they have done amazing things or even their tragedies. 

Many people love fantasies as an escape or just to believe in a world unlike our own. What about love stories real and make believe is it the thrill or the happiness. Adventures around the world and into the unknown if you can't go yourself go through a book. documentaries and our history who wouldn't want to be able experience a piece of history and if someones life is interesting to write about why not read it. 

Gladly I do make sure on the rare chances I get to read that I push myself to go with something other than what I know I like. If you don't try something you will never know if you like it. Yes that works for foods and stories. Its even easier to try that in shows or movies, it doesn't take as long. Then if you find something new you like you can take it over to books. Good luck to all now go find something you like.

Energy drinks

Hi, do you have to have your morning coffee before you can fully open  your eyes? Can your brain not function without it. Maybe, its not coffee its your morning cigarette. Oddly enough you can not breath until you get your first drag, take your first hit off that morning smoke. It could be something else a morning jog, reading the newspaper, even taking a shower. Me, well that is simple It is my morning energy drink. Almost always a Monster energy drink, occasionally I will change it up but Monster is my favorite.
It doesn't have to be a first thing, a five minutes after I wake up thing, but definitely within the first hour. I have been drinking Monsters since they first came out in 2002. I only drink one a day so not cause for alarm with all the things they have been saying about heart problems or other physical issues with it. Many people drink or eat or take way more caffeine then there is in Monster. Some say its an acquired taste. When they first began they only had the original black can with green tear shaped M. Now there is like 36 different kinds. Not just the regular type now there is coffee, juice, tea, muscle and all other kinds. I have a favorite, the low carb. but I love the original and the coffee and lets not forget my new favorite the ripper.
So what got me started? Well there were other kinds before Monster and other kinds since and yes I do try them. the cheaper ones when I can't afford Monster or just to have a break or just to see if there is something better. Before they even reached the stores I had tried energy drinks. I used to deliver the mail in Michigan and there was a lady that loved to order things in the mail especially health or workout related. So she found these Energy drinks and ordered them by the box. She would let me and one of my other co-workers try a can when they would arrive. This was almost the same time that red-bull had began appearing at stores in some parts of the country. These were more of an acquired taste but I think after can number two I was hooked. Now its not like I can't make it a day without them I can even more. I would rather not though. How I do love my Energy drinks!

Dream

Stuck in the room, down on my knees I reach above my head to feel the cobwebs that are tickling my face. There is only inches of wiggle room. How did I get in here? The smell is musty and the dust is tickling my nose. It is so dark I can barely make out the outline of my own body. Wait there I see a tiny light in the distance. Shining through the crack and surrounding an outline of a very miniature door. I hear such a ruckus going on outside of wherever I am.
There is a very hot sticky mess going down the right side of my body. I feel as if I am in the army and crawling through one of there obstacle courses. Almost there I can just about reach the door just a couple more wiggles. How am I going to get any umph behind me to get this open. Sh** what was that? The sound is like a thousand animals being corralled into one fenced in yard stomping on a hundred people. Do I even want to get out of here? Is that pain, is that blood? Do it just push it you can't stay in here in this where ever I am. PUSH- yes it is opening. CRACK- ahhhhhhhh-Splat- stomp-jjsdlgjghkfhgkhsljfglkfhgkj.....no! Beep beep beep, I'm up, I'm up,  what a messed up dream. No more sugary snacks before bed.

I am so glad that my English class has me reading a book. I used to have so much more  time to read. I enjoyed reading a book now and then. Now I am lucky if I have time to eat, shower and sleep. So when a thing that I want to do becomes a part of my homework a thing I have to do I get to do something I want. Did that make sense?
The Heart and the Fist, maybe not my normal choice of reading material. It is a choice of something I would watch. So why wouldn't  it be a choice for me to read. That is how my first interest in reading and my favorite type of movies began. Stephen King, he began it all my love for reading and movies, well, horror books and movies. So now I have begun reading this book and so far so good.
I enjoy watching many documentaries and love a heart felt and strong story. The description and  the way he makes you feel you are there or can feel what or how he feels putting you in the action is the way all books or stories should be. It almost seems unreal how many opportunities he was given. Of course not many people would have taken any of those opportunities and even if they did they would  need to give at least half the heart he did. So far this has been a good read. I am just about to get into the navy seals part so I am raring to go! Can't wait to read the following adventures and see what there is to learn.

free write sstttrrreeesssss

Stress, yes we all have it. Do we all have to have it? Whether its a little or a lot I think we all do at some time at some point. wouldn't it be nice not to. I really really wish I did not have so much. worse  than my own stress is having to deal with some one else stress. It is absolutely terrible when you yourself are trying to live a stress free life or as close to it as possible no lets not be ridiculous a little less stressful life, then you deal with others stress. Stress, its a killer. It does cause so many other problems and then what comes from all those problems , extra stress!!!!!! Its a viscous circle over and over and over. So , things that cause stress-

1. Job

• boss
• co-workers
• cold
• hot
• dirty
• allergies
• pain
• doing others jobs
• hours
• dust
• so-so much more

      2. lack of sleep
      3. husband
      4. children
      5. school
      6. animals
      7. chores
      8. MONEY
      9. bills
oh forget it there is just to many things to think about its stressing me out. Don't stress the small stuff, hey that is a book I believe, Maybe I should read it. Breath , count to ten that works sometimes but not on those terrible days. If you think about being happy, positive and that someone is worse off then you are it helps. well, maybe I am starting to be less stressed because I am getting older and realize there is worse things then alittle stress. Now if I could just help others be a little less stressed around me oh no more thinking ya that helps!

grammar-the set of structural rules governing the composition of clauses, phrases, and words in any given natural language. How about grammar English word and writing rules. Something that seemed so simple in grade school seems quite difficult now. Is this because the brain has gone weak after being away from school and studying for so long. Or is it  the lack of time with so much more going on in a day. Or has the brain had so much stored in it and pushed aside that there is no room for the little things. Or does it all just simply need to be relearned put back in with all the other wonderful knowledge.
Here goes lets put some of those grammatical terms back into that stuffed old brain! The basics- adverbs, words that modify verbs. adjectives, words that modify nouns and pronouns. pronouns, words that substitute for nouns. Noun, people, place, things and ideas. Verbs, action word or group of words. Those are the basics, basically the only ones I still remember.
Here are some things in the glossary of grammatical terms that I really don't remember there for definitely need to study. Absolutes, words or phrases that modify whole sentences rather than parts of sentences or individual words. Ellipses, A series of 3 periods indicating that words have been omitted from material being quoted. Transitions, words in sentences that show relationships between sentences and paragraphs.
With just the small amount that I have read in this book I have come to a conclusion. The conclusion is I need to do a lot more reading and studying. Back to the books!

be well informed

I have learned lately that if you are not well informed so much can go wrong. Yes, this is not news breaking, earth shattering information. I have and most should know that you need to be well informed. I guess it depends on what is going on in your life on how much this comes into play. I always thought of myself as some one that paid attention to what needed to be known. Then this whole college thing happened and whoa is me there is so much more information that is needed to be known. Even when you think you have the information you need this is when you find out you don't know the half of it.
People that talk to you like you already know what they are telling you like everything is common sense. I think they forget what it is like when you first start or have never been in college. It is an issue even with people at work when they explain how a job works. Yes it is a simple as can be but if you have never seen or held, say a certain tool ever in your life than its not so simple to use this tool.
Go ahead shovel this side walk front to back, piece of cake, if you don't know what a shovel is not so easy.
That brings me to my if I only knew it would be simple, moment. Proctored exam, Sure I asked what it was, already feeling I should know. The test you take in front of someone or watched by, a proctor. I asked where you could do this since I would be in and out of the state. For this I was told I could take it at the school or anywhere that had a proctor or somehow with web cam. So this I thought was it, all the information I needed. Of course I was wrong and have all the hope in the world that I was not to late. So with all of this I already didn't know and questioned I am not sure why I was not informed of exactly how this worked, I know now I should have asked even more questions. Yes, to almost everyone this is probably almost common sense, but to me well I had no idea I had to set up a time and date. this could be do to me being out of school for about 20 years and this being my first on-line class. I saw this mentioned somewhere on blackboard for one of my classes. I thought there were proctors there (at the school) and I could just go up there anytime they were in. Boy was I wrong. So lesson learned and try to be well informed in the future. No, this is not the first or only instance that this lesson has been learned and it won't be the last I am sure. I will strive for all the information all the time, or as much as possible.
