More ranting
posted at 05:29 pm on 09-11-2009
So I'm on this dating site, it helps me at least feel connected. But in all honesty, it pairs me up with people who I'd never find attractive.
One of these profiles complained that other men were shallow for wanting an honest woman while ignoring her because of her weight.
She's right, people are passing her up based on her appearance. I happen to work on mine, I excerscise 5 times a week, I stay goal-oriented, I do a lot of things to appeal to the opposite sex.
What has she done? Seriously! If she wants an attractive man, she could at least show some initiative and look attractive herself rather than complaining and calling men shallow. That's just like the "nice guy" rant. If self-reffered "nice guys" had it their way, they'd get any girl they wanted by virtue of them not asserting themselves at all.
I seriously want to tell that person that she'd improver her chances exponentially by investing in healtheir habits. But, I take the rant over here because it's hard to offend anyone on WP.

Why men avoid single mothers
posted at 09:03 am on 09-10-2009
Let me start out by saying I have not always ruled out single mothers, in fact I've been interested in more than one.
At 26, I still haven't been married, and haven't had any children. I could tell you the story about how I've loved and lost, or it could be the story about me sticking to my plan (higher education). When you get down to it, I'm clean slate, not a virgin or anything, but I'm free of liabilities.
So why are single moms out of the dating picture? Because I'm over analytical. One thing they all have in common is that they chose some other guy over me at one point. They chose to have a kid with that guy and if they're even worth the time, will value their kid like no other.
The problem is that I'd always take second place with their kid in perspective. Where's the romance? I watched my peers fall in love while I was just eyeing the future (AS is a mixed blessing). How can anyone expect my perserverance to end up supporting someone I didn't even make, someone who might resent me, and someone who may have more leverage in a relationship?
In the past, I've been passed up by single mothers just because someone else was more capable of taking care of their immediate needs. I mean I didn't have to be out of town for more than a few weeks before they'd look elsewhere. The worst part is that every last one of them has strung me along (I had to find out from other sources).
I find it plain insulting when a get approached by a single mother nowdays. It's as if to say "You seem like a sucker, wanna support my kid?" of "I'm not as attractive as I was before I got knocked up, that's why I'm taling to you." Lets just face it, your dating value went down with most men the moment you had a kid. Sure the rules aren't fair, guys get more attractive with age and experience, but I obviously wasn't your first pick, you had your fun already, now you're paying for it. It sounds Christian, but I'm going for someone who waited.

New Week
posted at 08:08 pm on 09-08-2009
The weekend just didn't work out for me studywise, my friend got arrested, I spent hours coming up with bail money and waiting for my friend to get booked. I didn't get much studying done
I slept longer than usual last night, knocked out 5 nursing skills today, and spent almost an hour at the gym, I think I messed my back up again, lifting too much.
My brain feels worn out, so I'd say I did a good job.

More like a journal
posted at 11:40 am on 09-05-2009
Great success, I went over 2 more proceedures before calling it quits. My friend threw a party last night, I just went to the basement and studied.
I really don't care for the mentality. Nobody gives a rats ass about what you do at a party and the smalltalk is just a guys way of acting interested in something other than the girls that showed up.
The girls themselves expect you to have a sexual interest in them, but at the same time, not express it. I'm down for anything but a mindgame.
Today, I need to clean the house to get it ready for my friend's court appointed inspector. This is a big deal for us, maybe the guys passed out on the couch can give a hand.
I intend to go to the YMCA today and work on the core muscles. I love it how gyms have mirrors. The one thing that motivates me to continue to work out is checking myself for correct form and checking myself out at the same time. It makes me vain, but if I did it for anyone but me, I'd lose motivation, other people just aren't as dependable as me.
I think I'll find time to study towards the evening. My motivation to study isn't as clear cut as my gym motivation. I basically picture myself back in my old clinic and actually knowing what I'm doing for a change, being able to instruct others.
I made this rule about not using WP between 9am and 9pm. I haven't observed the rule to the T, but I have spent less time here.

Portfolio
posted at 06:56 pm on 09-04-2009
In the 20+ years I've been exposed to public education, I never had any formal instruction on HOW to learn. Thanks to the VA's "Upward Bound" program, all of that has changed. My take on a portfolio is that you chart the progress you're making, so I'll just cut to the chase and start from the wakeup.
0600- I realize that my roomate was supposed to be at work half an hour ago, I normally wake him up at 0430. Not a good start.
At around 0800 I begin to study some clinical nursing skills, I started by outlining all of the tasks in the medication section. My brain felt full after that, I went over oral medication administration. One would think this were as easy as giving the client some pills and documenting, but there are lots of steps to reduce any kind of error. You have to identify the patient several times, make sure they aren't gonna throw up, and DOCUMENT the effects. I'm not sure what one doesn't actually document in the nursing field.
Next, I took the dog for a quick run. Little Sapper has a mind of his own, he's a hard dog to control. I need to work on my cardiovascular endurance, I made a first step by not buying that next pack of cigarettes.
Went to the YMCA, I worked on upper body. I may have to subdivide further, but for now, my routine gives me results. My pet peeve at the gym is people who can't respect communal space. The area in front of the weight racks, for instance, is not for working on your routine, it should be as traffic free as possible so that other people can get their weights.
I don't know if I should be more assertive, the problem with asserting (for me) is that people assume I'm being beligerent.
I spent less than 10 minutes practicing my juggling, I can do 3 balls at a time, but I'm still right hand dominent.
After I type this, I'm going to clean the house (to include the dog crap outside), my roomate is throwing a party, he has the organizing skills, and I have the cleaning skills, it works for me.
I think I'll try at least one more clinical nursing skill before I go to bed.
