thank you budda

I can officially pencil in this past week as one of the most odd, fun, and unpredictable. I wish holidays came more than once a year. Time spent with family and friends is so wildly empowering and rejuvinating for the soul. Remind me to come home more often. I warn you now, this post may come across as a cheesy vent sesh, but im a typical girl who enjoys indulging in a cliche. Low rated chick flicks, sappy music, hot baths, and stinky candles are amongst my guilty pleasures.
Tonite was an awesome night to start off the new year. It was one of those evenings when the sky is alive with shifting color, like a painting in progress, and the air cools with the promise of night. You know that fresh spring rain smell? everything just feels so renewed... I told you i was going to be cheesy. :)
As far as my new years resolutions are concerned....well, I only have one, but its a challenging one. It actually came to me at a chinese food resaurant....in a fortune cookie. I tell you, I was meant to eat chow mein that day because contrary to the promises of good fortune and budding relationships like most fortune cookies disperse....mine had a real meaning. "one of the hardest things to do in life, is remembering to enjoy it". I can vouch for that. Our lives are filled with challenges and heartache. Its a strange thing. When it first hits, you swear you'll never recover. But your lungs keep filling, and your heart keeps beating, and the world around you doesn't stop even if you want it too. So enjoy life, and thank God for it. Friends, hold me accountable to this, I have invested too much time pondering on the hypothetical. I need to enjoy whats real.
Anways, its been a while since my last post, and so much has come to pass since then. Theres no chance that I can fit it all in while maintaining your attention. Ill just tell you that it was incredible. Ill have to post up pictures, for they say a thousand words and a few laughs.
Oh, and funny story. Kristy and I hit a checkstop new years eve and the police were doing thorough checks of each vehicle. Me and my sister are the perfect "getaway with anything because were babes" combo. In the past we have recieved free brake light installation, discounts on oil changes, and that night, a quick weave around all the vehicles waiting to get their cars inspected. The best part was my sister holding up a plate of rainbow sprinkled cupcakes at the officer while i wore pigtails and a smile. no guy can resist :)
ok. so pictures up in a giffy. Im going in the hot tub.

Oh and I had a fortune cookie recently that said I'd set foot on many countries. Oh it better be true..

Shan, I'm glad you had a good holiday - we all need rejuvination and encouragement its just too bad it doesn't always come when we need it most, eh?
As for my new year's resolution: well, I hate that term because it implies it will only last for a year and as has been proven in the past it actually rarely lasts more than three weeks. So.... with changes in life and a bit of a shifting of focus for me I want to continue getting to know the me God created and use my passions to make a difference for Him. When you are using the passions He has given its too easy to enjoy life!

Hey, can you imagine if you had the cowboy hat when you went through the checkstop - if an entire sports team is staring at you, you may have even gotten away with more!

Erin said...

i REALLY want to know how you get your blog to sing, Shannon!

kristy said...

"..cupcakes eh? weeeell ain't that nice.. you girls just go on right ahead" ;)

I love moments like this. Where it just kind of hits you... life can be so crappy sometimes but then in a moments time you realize that you just need to stop and make each second count. I feel like these are the moments that have shaped and changed my life the most. I feel like I've learned to take myself less seriously and although Im still learning, I thrive on moments when I dont care how people are going to respond or what they think of me. I feel so enriched. Shan, I just want you to know that I think your fabulous and that you have the power to do whatever you want with your life! Your beautiful, smart, and you have the ability to make a cop swoon. haha. All the power to ya girlfriend~! Ooo, P.S lets learn to take life less seriously --on the dancefloor! Heh. Jan 13th. New Year = New kind of amazing fun.

- Play primarily for fun, not for survival income. Sure, we all want to win, and if you do ...great! Don't make it a career choice; enjoy the online casino atmosphere and the thrill of the games. Don't bet the farm on them or have your real estate agent put an offer down on one because you feel lucky. Repeat, have fun!

Beginner's Route to Online Casinos
The online casinos are a great source of entertainment and fun. That said, there are a number of things you should take into consideration before playing. Choosing the right casino should be your first step in your quest for a great gaming experience online. As such, choosing the right casino will lead you to have a lot of fun and also win at the same time. If you find yourself with a pathetic online casino, you are bound to run into a lot of problems with poor graphics low-wage outs.



2. Regular brick-n-mortar casinos normally ploy subtle methods to divert your attention from the game. They employ pretty hostesses and sweet-talking managers who are forever trying to entice you to buy a drink, or whatever. Now when you drink above the average, you lose focus on the game and make mistakes. This is precisely what the brick-n-mortar casinos want you to do is spend your money buying chips, then spend it on drinks and food, and then lose both your concentration and money! Online casinos cannot play such tricks as you play on these from home and, therefore, there is nothing to distract you or divert your attention from the game.

Finally, realize that all the various bookmakers have their own rules and policies regarding how they settle bets done through arbitrage sports betting when they have such irregular results. As with the advice on pricing, be sure to check the rules of the individual bookmakers before you place your bets.

Any one who bets on sports for profit will want to make sure they are getting the best sports betting odds but it doesn’t matter what you are betting on, the fact of the matter is that the house is going to be sure to come out on top. They don’t build those billion dollar casinos with winner’s money! The best odds are generally a little better and a sports bettor will likely see a return of eight to ten dollars for every hundred dollars he or she bets over a long term period.

The changes that are going to be made to the Wire Act are quite simple. First and foremost the internet will be added to the list of wire communications that are prohibited. Of course the internet was not around in 1961 so it was not included in the first draft. In addition, penalties for breaking the Wire Act will increase from a maximum of two years in prison to five.

In the preceding part of this discourse I concluded that (a) the greatest hazard for you as a typical, well-balanced sports Bettor is that you may continually lose more than you win and thereby regularly exhaust your betting funds, and (b) to thoroughly analyse the likelihood of that happening you need to properly address the following questions:

(i) What things could possibly go wrong that would cause you harm?
(ii) How likely is it that those things will go wrong for you?

The best sports betting odds are in actuality just numbers, they may be an ever changing set of numbers but just numbers nonetheless. There are many different factors involved in the computation of not the least of which is the number of bettors placing bets on one team. If a bookie sees this happening he will give the team that is dentified as the loser more points and take points from the team deemed the winning team.

The Paroli System, of all the famed sports betting systems, is thought to be opposite that of Martingale. Where the difference lies is on the scheme that with the Paroli System, you start with one wager and then up the wager when you win rather than with a loss. This system lets the profit run and cut short the losses, which makes it appealing due to the fact that you don’t have to have a lot of money to be able to use it effectively.

And finally, in the first article in this series I mentioned being honest with yourself, because one of the biggest lies I have found that a tremendous number of Bettors are guilty of is denying to themselves how many times their Base Bank has been busted! If you too are guilty of this, please remember that until you face up to the truth with the determination to do something about it, you can't expect to turn the situation round in your favour.

My final selection, and surely few will question this one, is a certain Dennis Law. 'The King' or the 'Lawman' as he was affectionately known played for Manchester United between 1962 and 1973. During that time he played for United a total of 409 times, scoring an impressive 237 goals. Law won European Footballer of the year in 1965, during a season in which he top-scored for Manchester Utd with 28 and helped them to win their first league title since Munich.. manchester united [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]man utd vs[/url] Manchester United was established in 1878 as the Newton Heath Football Club, which served as the works team of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot. The club nearly went bankrupt in 1902 but was saved by J.H. Davies who subsequently re-named the team as Manchester United. During World War II, the Old Trafford Football Ground was severely bombed, leaving United without a stadium. They had to seek the assistance of their then more illustrious neighbours, Manchester City, and both teams shared Maine Road as their home stadium for some time. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]dimitar berbatov[/url] The current home games Manchester United shirt is red with a vertical, white stripe on the reverse. A patch with the words "The Red Devils" on a picture of the club's famous devil mascot is sewn onto to the bottom-left of the jersey. By contrast, the away shirt in use today is white with blue piping at the edges. It has red trim on the neck and the club emblem is on a white background on the left breast. The club emblem is pictured on a white background shield situated on the left breast. The emblem has been altered through the years but was originally designed based on the crest of the City of Manchester. One day Matt Busby was watching a local rugby team in Salford and was impressed by their flair and adventure on the pitch. When he discovered their nickname was "The Red Devils" he decided to attach it to his Manchester United team.

7.) You can purchase bingo cards according to the time you play your game. Very early mornings and very late nights attract few players and therefore, play with more bingo cards at these times. Although winnings are also lower at these timings, yet chances of winning are better and higher. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]play free bingo online[/url] The game of online bingo proceeds with the calling of different numbers within 75. You need to notice the trend of the first ten or twelve called numbers to understand the system in operation. If the first called number is say G52, probability of the next number not ending in 2 is higher as there are fewer numbers ending in two than in other digits. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]no deposit bingo online[/url] The easiest way to avoid falling victim to a scam is to know the site on which you choose to play. One of the ways this can be accomplished is to talk to other people who play online Bingo to get a feel for the sites they use and what kind of experiences they have had with the site. In most cases, word of mouth is going to be your most accurate means of determining the legitimacy of a Bingo or any other gaming site. Of course, if you are using a free site, knowing about the experiences that others have had with the site is not quite as important, although you do not want to waste your time with something that is unlikely to produce any beneficial results. Of course, a free site is not going to give you much in the way of monetary compensation, and the prizes may be minimal, but for those who are addicted to the game, the challenge is there.

Bingo is a beautiful game of luck, which involves patience, rapid coordination between hearing and searching out the numbers and lots of fun. As with all gambling bingo is totally addictive and you should be careful of its grip on you!
