I already put some firewood in the house, so I am just waiting to go work.
I am browsing through EP this morning and I found this interesting question.
The link to that question is here.
That's something that I never thought about.
Well, let's about it. Why can't a brother and a sister can't share a bedroom?
It really depends on what the parent believes about what could really happen in that room. However, I really believe that if the children are young, it isn't much of a case. That's really the case in this house. Even though, my nieces have a bedroom and our nephew have a room, the nephew keeps on going to the nieces' room and play with their toys. It happens every night, up to point that we don't care any more. They are 6 (niece), 4 (nephew), and 2 (niece). I don't think anything creepy is going on. It's not like they are sleeping the same bed. My nephew sleeps on the floor or behind the bed (don't ask because I even can't answer that). Now, when it comes to their teens, it became more of a gray area In fact, in some states, it is against the law to have children of opposite sex to be in the same bedroom when they reach a certain age.
So why is this an issue when the children reach into their teens? The #1 reason this is an issue is because of the sex abuse/molestation/incest thing. Parents would be afraid their children could get curious about their bodies to the point that they could experiment with each other. The #2 reason is because of privacy. In that point of their lives, the brother/sister will have their bodies developed and they don't want each other to see themselves naked or do their personal things. That's pretty much the two main reasons why it is like this currently. I did some research on this and I found a lot of forums that ask that same question. This link here points out the situation and these forums here and here questions it too as well as posters putting their output on the table.
For my thoughts in this, I personally have no problem with them in the same when they are younger and I guess I also believe that there is really no problem with them sleeping in the same bedroom in their teens (if they don't have a problem with it themselves). The #1 reason is a valid reason, but it does the assumption that the brother (or sister) would start experimenting with each other. It's not right, but we can't say that it is harmful. The fact remains that they could experiment with each other at times when they are alone and it might not be in their rooms. When it comes to molestation, that could be really bad, but molesters can be the father or grandfather or uncle or any female member of the family too. This stuff could happen even when they are in separate rooms too. So I think the first reason is a lot of speculation that it could happen. Unless it is proven that it happens, I would definitely take back half of what I said. However. there is no statistics on this other than the stuff on child molesters and even then, we don't know if it is the cause of brother and sister living to the same room. The second reason however, makes a lot more sense. Those children will need to have their own space. As for seeing each other naked, most people agree that it could cause some curiosity problems and lead to reason #1. However, there are some nudist families that believe that there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, they believe that doing that would ease their curiosity a bit more. That's why I like the philosophy of nudist families since the point of being naked is to break the reasoning that nudity equals sex, which is the case here. Of course, there is also the reason that the brother wants to do more masculine things and vice versa for the sister. That's a good reason why they could have a different room.
I just found this to be interesting to me. If you read the comments at those links, there is not really a lot of middle ground there. The facts remains that there is no statistics about this and if any of that experimentation/molestation stuff happens, being in separate rooms won't magically make the problem go away. If one of them is determined (sadly), it would be as simple as sneaking in the other sibling's bedroom to do it. Keep in that this could happen in two of the same sex are in the same room too. It's just too much speculation that those raging hormones of those kids can make do a lot of damage to themselves. They can have their privacy if they want to. In reality, I don't think it is really a problem at all.
What do you think?

It's official. The South is shivering with this cold weather and it is going to get worse.
Apparently, tomorrow, we have a chance to rain.
That rain easily turn into freezing rain and/or snow.
With that being said, I am a bit nervous because we are at threat to get snowed in again.
This time, we are taking a bit more precaution than what we last year.
We are probably going to a family friend's house if the power gets cut off.
So I been to get some firewood just in case.
Well, that's all I am going to right now because that takes priority.
I'll talk with you guys later.
See ya!

I planned this blog but I keep on forgetting to do it.
Anyway, today I want to talk about Tiger Woods.
Everyone knows who Tiger Woods is, right?
He is the famous golfer. One of the best golfers in the world.
But he is not known by that anymore. Now, he is the famous cheater.
It all started with a car crash. Link here. Tiger was fine.
However, rumors started about the crash being associated with cheating with a mistress. Link here,
But the rumors actually became true when his mistresses reported that they had many affairs with Tiger. Link here.
Once the affairs came into the light, Tiger announced his his leave to golfing.
He also lost a lot of sponsorships, like AT&T.
What's left of Tiger remains a mystery since the press stopped talking about him.
So now, why would golf legend Tiger Woods cheat on his wife? I admit that Elin Nordegren is a hottie, but why would Tiger on her? It does question that why would cheat on people in general. It is also called infidelity. So let's start talking about it. Why does it happen? Are the causes of it? Well, that's actually complicated. Some people believe that a failing sex life could be the same. Some people believe that failing out of love could be the case. There are many reasons of it. Link here and here and here. Now, I don't think that all cheaters are completely heartless. I do believe some people made some mistake in the relationship, but all infidelity is bad. Some infidelity can be prevented, but not all of them. Some of them are just doomed to begin with. If you look at the reasons, some times, it is the cheater's own fault that the infidelity happens, like the person's self image. Again, I do think communication is the key towards ending infidelity. Love can fall out of a relationship. Infidelity can also be physical or emotional (with emotional being more common because of internet chat rooms). Both types can be equally devastating.
With that being said, what I can say about Tiger? He cheated with a lot of women. He deserved the mass disrespect on his wife. I wish that Tiger Wood admitted his cheating ways soon. We did admitted that he did cheated, but we don't know why. Some people think that it is sex addiction, but I don't think that he is addicted to sex or he is? I don't know what to say except that he should prepared to face the consequences of being a hated celebrities.
I will admit that the situation didn't get worse and turn into this.
You guys have a good day. Remember that cheating is always wrong. Don't do it or else!

Anyway, the cases that they show on this one really made me emotional because some killers can just be random or just be very calculating. Here's one of the cases that was shown here. I mean, this guy killed his 4 of his family members, one of them being a 6 year old girl. The reason of the murders, according to detectives, is that he was jealous of them and he wanted to show his parents how angry he was about that. That was a heinous that he had to use violence to spread his message. I mean, he even had to take out on the little girl too. According to his parents, the girl was the last victim and she was shot in the chest when she was sleeping. She had no chance of survival. Well, the good news is that the guy got captured after the airing of the show. I am glad that the parents can start the healing process and this sicko can take his jealousy and go straight to hell for everything that he has done. Jealousy doesn't have to result in murder, especially on the 6 year old girl that didn't deserve it.
I guess when I think about this case, it reminded of the move that I watched years ago. It's called "The Punisher". It's based on the Marvel Comic Book series. The information and some spoiler is in this link here. I will say this. I thought that the movie was good. It had a lot of bad movies due to the acting, but I think the characters was done well. However, in the beginning, it was just too graphic for me. I mean, the main character, Frank Castle killed a mobster's son during a drug heist. The mobster plotted his revenge by sending his henchmen to hit Frank Castle in his huge family reunion. The result was once everyone in that reunion, especially several children, was killed by hordes of gunmen. Everyone except for Frank Castle himself died. Castle somehow survived and plotted his own revenge as "The Punisher" as he made own weapons to attack and defeat those mobs. However, seeing that many people died in that sense overwhelmed me. The sad part is that this of violence probably won't affect many people, but it looked so realistic and it would easily be done in real life. I am sorry but that movie became too blood for me. I know that I seen bloody scenes before and it is natural since violence would result in blood and gore, but if you seen that scene yourself, it would left a lasting image that it would be hard to go away. I would try to see if I can find that scene, but I decided against it. It would be like reviving a nightmare. I'll just leave that to speculation because I don't want to be overwhelmed like that again....
Realistic violence can be too much for people sometimes, especially the graphic ones. Even though, I am a fan of cartoony like violence, the realistic violence stuff can be too much close to home since gunshots are as real as it can get. I don't know why people do senseless act of violence, especially on the innocent. I understand about accidentally deaths. Some of those deaths could be funny, but in the end, the person's life is gone and that person won't be coming back, especially if you are the parent of the person who died. To be honest, it would be horrible to see someone die to a person's rage that haven't he/she wasn't involved in directly. Like in that AMV case that I spoke about, that guy didn't need to kill that 6 year old girl.
So it makes me question about senseless acts of violence. Does people find it funny to do it? Is violence not as bad as I am saying it is? I guess, to me, as long as real people don't get killed (or severe hurt), it's fine. We live in a violent world and some people crave it. I mean, that's why there are some people who like to fight. It's senseless and it could be just for competition, but people do like it. This leads me to this link here. Now, the article in that link is a tad complex and I understand that but you can see the headline that an Army Major killed 13 of his fellow soldiers. The reason for it is complex, but most of them are assumptions about this comrades, which we don't know if it is true or not. I don't think there is any point of senseless of violence, especially on the innocent. Why would people just kill without a purpose or if the purpose was with a cold heart...? Hmmmm....
That's the thought I will have leave today. Until next time....

Good morning, everyone.
Today will be my first day of work within a week's time. I shouldn't be nervous. Well, I have no reason to be nervous.
Anyway, I am here to talk about my latest obsession.
Well, I did posted about my obsession of ink pens.
I am way too crazy about those *points to closet where his 100+ pens are stashed*
It is something that ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
jp5040 pointed out the other day that I like to talk about deviancy.
If deviancy is a big word for you guys, here's what it means here,
In other words, if it is something completely or nearly out of the norm, I am very interested in it.
Of course, I am not hardly deviant myself.
But I do wonder about people who don't care about the norms of our society.
Now, murder and molestation and evil and terrorist are not welcomed because people will get hurt.
There are people that do more extreme things, like the fetishes that I talked about or extreme stunts.
Those are the things that catches my interest.
It gets much more interesting if you think about why they do it.
I mean, not all people are crazy or have that impulse, but their reason could be crazy or logical.
Of course, this obsession isn't as crazy as ink pens though and I haven't got over it.
I need to use these ink pens and stop buying more of them.
I just tend to get crazy about them. You don't know to know how much money I put into them.
You really don't want to know...
Anyway, that's my obsession and I am looking for something more to post about...
You guys have a good morning, but stay tuned, I have another entry coming up.

Well, things were dull at some moments.
At least, I gained another penpal during the vacation period.
So it's all good.
Well, I am returning to the evil self check-out machines that I am forced to operate.
I am still sick but I will be around. My ISP is getting better with the service.
I hope that my connection will stay on this time.
Today, I was cooking a pasta dish from the recipe book that I bought before Christmas.
Well, one of the pans got scorched.
Another one of the pans was too small so I had to use a large pan.
Then I accidentally spilled some minced garlic on the floor.
Yeah, it was a mess and I am cleaning it up but it was fun.
Oh and the pasta dish was decent.
My plan for my last day of freedom is to some organization.
I am planning of completely cleaning out my alternative account today and then readding some updated stuff to it.
All of my story ideas will be transferred from here to my other account.
In addition, I will post some of my updated informed on my ideas.
This should take about an hour. I guess I got inspired by Rhia and her other accounts.
I have more entries on the way, but I have to get caught up with my penpals.

You Are A Good Friend |
 You're always willing to listen to your friends. And you're the first to lend a shoulder to cry on. You're there through thick and thin. You won't stop being friends with someone when times are tough. In fact, you're such a good friend that many people consider you their "best friend"! |

Your Ideas Are Red |
 When you think, you tend to have very impassioned, inspired ideas. Your thoughts tend to come way out of left field, and you're often surprised by your own ideas. Your ideas tend to be big and bold. They may be impractical, but they're always unique. You don't have any limits on your thoughts or dreams. You believe that anything is possible, and that leads to some amazing ideas. |

It seems like most of my friends are doing on. So I might as well do one too.
This year has been OK for the most part for me.
I mean, graduating from tech school and completing that wretched economic class were huge things for me.
I am glad that it is gone and I can move on with more bigger things.
In addition to those two things, the one of the biggest things that happened for me in the Experience Project.
I mean, it's really because of the Experience Project that allowed me to expand my thinking.
I learned a lot of things and it made me think about a lot of things as well.
It made me become more open-minded.
In addition to that, I friended some of the best people in that site.
Like rosedrakon, JP, AmyMM, and especially musicspirit who was my first friend there.
Those wonderful people helped me learn about their struggles as well as reinforcing all of good values.
I also found Rhia on that site, even though, she isn't really there. She's been a great friend, even though the darkest times.
So yeah, I guess I am an Experience Project success story. LOL!!!
In addition to that (with the help of Rhia), I started into penpaling and gain some friends there.
As for my New Years Revolutions, I thought about them when I was napping.
So here they are (even though I probably won't remember most of them):
-Becoming more ongoing and become less shy
-Get a full-time job
-Gain some friends (online and offline, but mostly offline)
-Exercise more
-Drink more juice and less soda
-Develop and make of my ideas into a full story
-Start reading some books
-Stop procrastinating in any of my projects
-Start cooking
-Become stronger as a person
-Stop gaining weight (I gained about 30 lbs in a course of a year o_O )
-Make a plan so I can find my own place and become independent
-Become more of a confident person
Even though not a lot of things happened this year, I found friendship and an open mind within.
It's time for me to grow and find my path in this world.
You guys have a good day and once again, Happy New Years!

TM is here and he is sick with a cold.
Yeah, I should be in the bed instead of typing and interacting with my penpals.
We are throwing a party tonight yet I feel horrible. It sucks so much.
Anyway, I have some thoughts in the process. I just don't feel like working on it.
So I want to wish you guys.
Happy New Year!!!

How Bisexual Are You?
Somewhat Bisexual
You seem unsure about your sexuality. You seem interested in the same sex.
Hey, I took a quiz in Facebook about how bisexual are you and here is my result.
I guess this is just another random post. Enjoy!
BTW, this result is hidden in Facebook since my family is there. I want to keep it a secret.

Good day, everyone.
I am here and well. It's been awhile, isn't it.
My internet has been shaky for awhile, but I installed a new super filter that I hope helps out with my connection. I had very little disconnects since I installed it, so I am happy. With that being said, I am here to finally post some dirt. I am not using my newest style. That will be my next entry. So let's get started.
My first thought is about the Meterosexual. So WTF is a metrosexual? Well, it is actually not a sexual. It is more or less a fashion statement for male. So what is a metrosexual guy? According to Wiki here, a metrosexual guy a heterosexual guy that has a strong concern for his appearance or a lifestyle that displays attributes stereotypically associated with homosexual men. Hmmm.... well, think about it. Being concerned about appearance? Thats something that women are known. Now, I am not here to disrespect any girl out there but in popular culture, it's usually women that spend a lot of time with their appearance, like their hair or nails or clothing or make-up or whatever. Men don't have that much to really worry when it comes to appearances. In some cases, they don't really wonder about their appearance at all. That's what make metrosexual men different. People would consider them to be gay, but it is just a style. I mean, there are girls out there who don't really care about their appearance that much (like the tomboyish ones). So they are men that are like girls that really care about their appearance. Again, it is more about their personality trait. Here's another link here that talks about meterosexual men and I will say that it is different because this is something that women are very well-known for. I mean, I can care less about fashion unless I am required for it. I bet there are women that think of the same thing. I will say that meterosexual men are rare and if you do see them, they are unique. Note that article says that those men are in touch with their feminine side. I am in touch with my feminine side but it is much more emotional. These guys are girly girls when it comes when it comes to their appearance. Being good is part of their trait. It doesn't have anything to do with sexual. I believe it is definitely a personality trait but it is much different form the norm.
My second thought is about purses and it does go with my topic about meterosexual. So here's a good question. Why do women carry purses? That's a question that I wonder about. Well, I know why some women carry them, but I did my own digging on this one. This link here pretty much answers my question. However, I do have my own version of it. Women do tend to wear bottoms that don't have pockets in them. In that case, the purse serves the women's pocket. Not all women carry a purses and carry a wallet instead, but usually those women are wearing something that have pockets in them. Now, women do carry their accessories to make them look good in their outing. Some women use the purse itself as an accessory (but no offense for the women out there, but I think using a purse as an accessory seems a bit point less except for very special occasions; any purse is good if it serves its purpose, which is to carry stuff). Now, what would you say if you see a guy wearing a purse? Hmmm... a strange sight? Yeah, there are man-purses that do exist. There are guys that do have carry bags. Some women use carry bags as purse too. This picture here below is an example. 
I believe that carry bags like these are unisex. I mean, a carry bag like serves its purpose to carry stuff. Now, women have prettier bags, but it's a carry bag. I seen guys carry something like this. 
Again, it's a nice carry that can also be used as a book bag. Now, technically, carry bags are not really man purses. This is a man purse. 
Note that gun isn’t included with the bag =p So what do you think about it? Too tacky or too strange or too what? I think the bag does have some merit in it . I guess it would be much better if I added a picture with someone wearing a bag like this. Hmmm… how about this…
Even 24’s Kiefer Sutherland carries one of them. Hmm… I heard that in Europe, these bags are much more common. Like I said before, I seen them. I don’t think that messenger bags or carry bags are meant for women. However, for man purses, it’s a different story. Just find it interesting that man purses exist. However, carry bags are normal.
Ok, that’s it for now. This is TM, signing off.

Within the shadows, a creature dwells in the wilderness.
It does matter if it is dark or night, it stalks and hides, seeking for its prey
When it finds a would-be prey, it approaches silent with deadly intents.
Sometimes, it might leap on its body and then snare with a leash, prevent it from escape
Other times, attacks its prey from behind with very little notice of its essence.
But most people never truly see the creature itself as it shreds the prey helpless./
So if you do hear of the creature that dwells in the shadows, you should beware.
Because you never know that your shadow can be the one that kills you.

Well, I am here to say that it is Christmas Eve. I don't have anything that special for Christmas Eve, but my family is here. It just seems that they are coming here very often now. Anyway, I have no problem with that as it is always good to be with family. Anyway, I am tired because I came back from work on a day that people really believe in last minute shopping. The last couple of years, I was off from Christmas Eve. This year, I can definitely say that I was in hell. Well, I survived. Unfortunately, I seem to misplaced some important keys during my shift. I don't know what happened to them and I do think that one of my managers grabbed it my mistake, but as of right now, I don't know where they are (and I was very frustrated by that because last year, I lost those keys and they had to replace them. I didn't get punished but they made a note on it; *grunts* )
Well, I was also special of one thing today. I learned that I was on vacation next week. I was like "WTF". The thing was I had another week of vacation that I didn't know about. I already took my vacation in the summer, but apparently I had two for the four years of service in working in my job. So they gave me the opportunity to take next week. So I now have a paid vacation last week that was a surprise to me. Sadly, I don't have any plans to go anything for this vacation week. It sucks, but at least, I will have New Years Eve to myself and I can plan to go to any parties. I think my sister is throwing a party on that night. So I guess I need to make plans for something. I know that I won't be going on during vacation. It's too late for me to make any preparations for it. However, it is good to find something to do.
Anyway, I am pissed because my internet keeps on resetting itself. I haven't called yet, but it happening too random for me to pinpoint some type of connection because the time of modem resets. Regardless, it makes gaming harder and harder to do because it is my luck if the game will be completed or it will end in disconnect or it could be a sign that says that I should be working on my blog or in Experience Project instead of being on there. Well, I plan to be doing a thought entry on something dark. I also have a favorite picture blog. I am thinking of doing fanfare for Sonic's Cream the Rabbit.
Ok, that's it for me Until next time. Just expect to see more of me and my posts over this coming week because boredom will hit more harder, I bet.
