More unnecessary animal testing

So, I was just reading a book about goal setting and everything was just fine.  The book is deeply rooted in scientific evidence, but I had no clue how this evidence came to be.  I am just trying to do my best in life and make some improvements for myself, so how is it I keep coming across stuff like this!  I AM a card carrying PETA member, but I am not a crazy, insane, in-your-face activist like many of you might picture.

I had to take a break from the book and rethink things when I came across a paragraph about shocking dogs in cages at a Pennsylvania University.  Apparently the "scientists" are shocking the dogs repeatedly to determine at what point they will give up trying to get out of their cages.  They are trying to determine the difference between a dog that never gives up and ones that do and the length of time it takes in the ones that do.

I ask you, how could this EVER be ok?  How can anyone do this?  I understand the some great and some not-so-great advances medical science has delivered.  But, can someone please explain this one to me?

I got bored with this.

Here I am again.  It's Groundhog Day... every day like the next with minor insignificant variations.  I want a different life but I lost the will to try to change things anymore.  Somehow, I ended up at the ripe old age of 47 and have nothing to show of my existence.  I barely remember or have anything to say about the past 25 years.  I have settled for, at best, a life of mediocrity.  I have tried to change things and do things differently, but when it becomes difficult, I question my motifs and wonder what's the point.  Is any effort worth it?  What am I hoping to gain.  Most days, I just want everything to be over.

Saturday - Starting Over

I haven't blogged for a while... in process of de-sucking my life.  I got a warehouse job, so I was working full time for a month, but now it went to part-time.  When I wasn't at work, I was in severe pain from the type of work that I am not used to... REAL work.  I am still trying to build my own business and I have also applied for an additional job since I have off work Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sundays.

It's nice to have my own money and to be able to buy shit again.  I went shopping in St. George and bought some books.  You can see some of them above in this post.  I also bought 6 lotions & sprays at Bath & Body.  I love the mall.

Saturday - Starting Over

I "started over" almost a year ago... changed everything and everything was going well for several months.  Now, it's all gone to hell again and I've been unemployed since Nov. 21st.  I started my own business in January, but it's very slow to take off.  Looks like it's time to start over... again.

Nothing worth doing is ever easy.  My biggest challenge right now, besides getting a job, is to lose some weight and get back in shape.  I have no energy and my motivation is at an all time low.  I found an article that sounds like what I am going through http://health.msn.com/health-topics/slideshow.aspx?cp-documentid=100269446&gt1=31015 and I think I should probably see a doctor about this.  I will make an appointment tomorrow.

This is cool

Dunno what I was supposed to blog about today, but I found a new online tool to make word clouds and felt compelled to share it.  It is very addictive.  Go to http://www.wordle.net/ and get your 'word' on.




I had to come back and edit this post.  I made a word cloud using the words from my website http://www.kimkingonline.com/ and came up with the below.  Oh no, I'm hooked.  This is fun.

Tuesday - Inspiration

I went on a job interview today for a job that I am actually qualified for and that I really want.  I was nervous, but it went as well as I could expect.  This could be the start of a new chapter for me and if it's not, well I will not give up until I get what I want.  I am sufficiently inspired to blog again which is a good thing since it is my day to write about inspiration.  I have my sixth article published online today.  You can read it at:  http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/6249560/the_best_foods_for_a_hearty_breakfast.html?cat=22

Other good websites to visit for some inspiration include:
www.inspirationpeak.com, www.beliefnet.com/Inspiration and www.worldofinspiration.com

But, this was the best blog that I read today for inspiration: http://blog.beliefnet.com/inspirationreport/2011/01/this-intentional-life.html

I hope you enjoy it and have a very 'inspired' day!

Monday - Motivation

Ahhh yes, Motivation Monday... I thought it was Inspiration Monday therefore thought I knew what I was going to write about.  Oh, who the hell cares, I didn't really have a topic anyway.  I do feel pretty good this morning.  And it still is morning.  It's only 9 am and I am actually out of bed and doing something.  What's my motivation?   I don't know!  I even made a list of schtuff I want to get done today.  My grandma called yesterday and said I probably won't be able to find a 'real' job until Obama is out of office, so I have plenty of time for that...lmao

I was going to write something about making mistakes, but I don't really remember... so instead I will leave you with this:  if you think of something important that you want to do or need to remember.... write it down.  Until next time............
