DIY is the new fad!

Do-It-Yourself or DIY projects are all the rage all of a sudden. Sites like Pinterest and Etsy are amazing for finding new and amazing things to try next or purchase ready made 1 of a kind items.

I myself love diving into new projects. Not only are they fun for me but they give me a great bonding experience with my children. Most projects don't take too much money or time to do but the memory of doing the thing definitely lasts in their minds. This project also come with much more pride than picking out a new picture off the shelf.

My kids get to feel the joy in knowing that they helped to decorate the house and they love to point out our projects to family and friends when they come to visit.

I will be including several projects going forward. I will also include links to some of my favorite project by others which I haven't yet tried.

Blogging to Make Money From Home

Starting your your business can be very daunting but a challenge which Internet marketing has made much easier.

Companies like Amazon and cj affiliate have programs which aid in your dreams of working for yourself.

I have a young child who I don't want to leave everyday to go spend time at a corporate job. I am just now starting to incorporate on-line marketing through social media, website building and blogging into my daily routine.

I have the ultimate goal of not having to put the responsibility of raising my child into someone elses hands so I can leave to work everyday to go out and make only enough money to get by. I want to help my family thrive while still being part of it.Becoming a SAHM (stay at home mom) is a goal a lot of you are also having.

I have looked into different on-line money making schemes like doing surveys or mystery shopper jobs. These could make me some pocket change here and there but nothing substantial enough to allow my family to thrive. I want to make a comfortable living from the comfort of my own home.

I have started listening to podcasts and looking up other success stories to see how so many are making millions with their blogs. I will be implementing the strategies I have learned. I will post an update after I get some results. Who wouldn't want to stay home to take care of this little one!

 

Update: I found myself in a money struggle last year and took on a second job. My financial stress has relaxed a bit so I am back to blogging. Be sure to watch out for current goals and updates. 

SHARKS

Everytime shark week rolls around I am sure to grab my remote to set my DVR to record all the new releases.
Sharks are very intriguing animals due to being mysterious, so large and potentially dangerous. Even in local aquariums you rarely will seethe giants like great white sharks.
In the United States white sharks are protected, however these strange creatures are still killed both legally and illegally elsewhere.

Sharks are a vital part of the ecosystem and when their populations are depleted strange things start to happen.

For example in one area the sharks are being poached to the point of these negative effects. The sharks kept the local fish populations down and with out them there is a rapid increase in these populations. The Humboldt squid happens to have a favorite among these boosted populations.

Now the area has a problem with the "red devilfish" taking fishermen and divers never to be seen again. 

We need to learn how to survive along with these majestic species instead of against them.

Animal Abusers Should be Punished

Everyone has seen the sad commercials asking audiences to help animals in need. The sad songs along with the images of cats and dogs who have been abused should make people question humanity. It is a sad thing that everyday animals of all kinds are put through torturous situations through which no human would come out of with complete sanity.

Animals of all kinds from companion animals like cats and dogs to farm animals and even wild animals are effected by humanity's  cruelty. Violence to animals is usually a companion to violence to other people and especially on children yet violators are often ignored by authorities. Even those people who are persecuted are often given minimum fines and only misdemeanor charges.

This is unacceptable! People don't need to be animal lovers or tree huggers for the images included in this blog to be upsetting. People who don't believe that shooting a cat with an arrow or beating a dog with a spiked object is something to worry about should not be part of our society. Getting in a car accident while intoxicated usually results in a felony and the loss of ability to vote while these people get small fines and are still able to help the country choose its next president. 

Creatures big and small deserve our respect and should be be appreciated. Animals give humans love and companionship, entertainment, knowledge, and cruelty should be given more prevalence in  today's society. Laws should be changed. Under current laws animals are considered property instead of being classified under there own category which should be neither human or property. Violent crimes such as murder or assault don't apply to animals because of this. 

Violence...any violence should be considered dangerous in our society.No matter what your views about having animals is, any sane person can see the danger to both animals and humans in any type of violence. It must be stopped and only we can make it happen.

Review of the Fallout Series of Games by Bethesda

RPG games have come a long way. When speaking of post apocalyptic titles the Fallout series excels above all others. This series takes place in a world trying to survive and recover from humanities past nuclear war which left the world ridden with all levels of radiation which has left its effect on everything from water to the creatures found around the world.

They take an interesting view on throwing these large level worlds into the presents of the different dwellers. There are mutants both friendly and will shoot on site, some so large they tower over the character. There are mutant rats and crabs lurking everywhere along with many other creatures.

The people of these world can't remember a time without radiation poisoning being a common ailment. They use Nuka-Cola Caps as currency, Worship a live nuclear bomb, Built cities over a wide variety of terrains, and cling to life with guns, meds and each other.

With a go where you want when you want type of game-play there is a different story for each play-through and each individual gamer.
The newest arrival in the series is the 4th and several new interactions have been implemented. You are now able to literally build the cities yourself and assign the community with in it different tasks. Not to mention a brand new vault and weapon/armor mods.

Love Hate Relationship with the Restaurant Business

The easiest jobs to get now-a-days are in the Food Service industry. Whether the position is a serving job or one as a cashier at a fast food drive thru the jobs come easily and put a bit of money in your pocket.

Can they allow enough money to support a growing family however is another story. As a server you have the potential to make a great deal of money each shift in tips while still earning an hourly wage (in most states) but getting enough shifts to add up to all the bills being paid can be tricky. In the fast food branch of things receiving only minimum wage is almost guaranteed.

Some good things about being a server though are the ability to make a good deal of money without having to work full time hours. It does take a toll on you though, since it is a very highly demanding position to hold both physically and mentally. This position also allows you to have cash in your hand everyday instead of waiting till payday. This does mean though that to have a chunk of cash, for instance to pay rent, you would have to save for several shifts and be sure not to spend money daily.

Some negative things about this position is that there are no benefits such as 401 k and vacation pay. These are a must for many people when they are job searching. These positions should be used as a stepping stone into bigger and better things and shouldn't be considered a permanent way of life.

Zoos gain or pain

Zoos provide crucial breeding in safe controlled environments for numerous endangered species. Specialists have the opportunity to work with these endangered species such as Grevys zebras and big cats to compile facts about them and document behaviors. Most zoos throw millions into the exhibits to be sure the animals are comfortable and happy so far from their natural habitats.

I agree with people that animals belong in the wild and not in cages as there natural state of equilibrium. However, humans have expanded our borders to a point that many of these caged animals would no longer be a part of the nature I wish they could be living in. It is not the population of animals that requires regulating. It is the population of us.

Zoos are doing the best that they can under the circumstances that we as a species have provided to these creatures. They bring tourists and revenue in by showing off their big animals and in turn they are able to boost some populations and document things about our natural world.

I recently visited the Los Angeles County zoo and loved the experience. Most of the exhibits were beautiful and were focused on the animals themselves being comfortable. When I came to the lion exhibit however I was somewhat disgusted at the miniscule size of ,these supposedly kings of the jungles, home. The space was small and lacked any real setting for the cats to enjoy at all.

There are plenty of open spaces around the zoo were these beasts could be given more comforts while all the required laws applicable were to be followed. The Lions are adjacent to the giraffes which could do with a bit more space as well. My suggestion is build these beautiful cats an exhibit as glorious as them somewhere in the park. Then move them over and simply give the giraffes a bit more space to roam.
