Sometimes things go bad and sometimes things get traction, but all the time we worry, while Obama gets satisfaction.  His media will not say, when he messed up today, Obama takes the credit when its good. don’t get me started on Joe Biden.  His words come right out without deciding.  Obama wont be that crass, when Joe becomes a pain in the buttocks….thought I was going to say ass?  Obama made his bed, and that ever oh so sad, Obamas really messing up America, America, home of the free stuff and home of the depraved.  Just think of all those jobs he saved.

Hey Julia, although you’re only a composite. You are the every woman molded in his image.  So you must do just what he says, because after all he is the Prez. I wonder if he can invent a great economy? 

Bin Laden, Bin Laden, it is a sin we could not get you back alive.  because the terrorists lawyer up, because that’s what Holder says, but this time it was a bullet to the head. I did it, I won, I heard it on the golf course after the deed was done. I made, that hard decision, for all the generals, and our brave troops, and that was a real hard hole in one. 

Obama is the best thing since slice toast.  The liberal media only know just how to boast.  They edit out all the bad, which is very, very sad, because they think Obama is the sensation, but sorry the man just went out on vacation.

Like Al Gore inventing the Internet, Obama invented the better set, his own will be paid well, and the rest can go to hello, I must be going.  Vacation and golf seems to be all that I’m knowing.  I know some of you are pissed, but I am a socialist, another four more years and America calls it quits.

Now you may think I am nuts for writing all this, and for many it will read like gibberish, but read it over again, my friend, and you will see, Obama needs to go so we can live in Liberty.  out great lady with the torch is hiking up her skirt, and rolling up her sleeves, and ready to sucker punch someone out cold.  The havoc this man causes every single day is ridicules.  His people break the law.  he eats well, while asking us to eat rice and beans every day.  Ok, I inflated my tires, and am driving slower and even walking more.  Now what Mr President???  I know, the words of Dr Phil, It is not about me, its all you Obama, all you.  Thanks for everything and sorry to see you go but have a safe trip in November.  Do the math, only this time, use a calculator.

The United States unemployment rate is like the weather. Everyone wants to know if it is hot or cold, up or down and whether it foretells bad times or good times. It’s become such a rabid fascination that the rate, which at one time people rarely thought about or if they did only on a monthly or quarterly basis, is now the subject of weekly news reports and prognostications by pundits over the state of the economy. It’s also used as a political bellwether – one candidate or another’s future dependent on if the unemployment numbers are trending upwards or downwards.

But, what should we make of a given week or month’s unemployment statistics (put out by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)? Let’s look at the unemployment rate in the U.S. over the past century.

Great Depression/War Set Records

Currently, in May of 2012, the national unemployment rate is hovering between 8.1 and 8.4 percent. How does that compare to the very worst (highest) unemployment rate? That distinction, as you might expect, came during the depths of the Great Depression. In 1932, the rate was 23.6 percent. The following year, 1933, was not much better at 21.7 percent. The rate did not drop below double digits for several years thereafter when in 1942 it dropped to 4.7 percent – the first full year the U.S. was engaged in World War II. And, in the following war years the rate remained low. In 1944 it dropped to 1.2 percent the lowest it has ever been.

Immediately following the war, as more G.I.s came home, the unemployment rate began to rise. In 1946 it jumped to 3.9 percent. By 1950 it had climbed to 5.3 percent before dropping in 1952 to 3.0 percent – perhaps because the country was engaged in the Korean War. Following that conflict, the rate began to rise again and by 1958 it was at 6.8 percent.

For the next two or three decades the unemployment rate bounced between five and seven percent. When a recession hit the country in the early 1990s, the rate started to climb again – going as high as 6.9 percent in 1993. After that it dipped to the mid 4.0 to 4.7 percent range before another recession in the early 2000s jumped the rate again to 6 percent.

The Great Recession – as the period from 2009 to current times is often referred – has seen the unemployment rate go to 9.3 percent, and 9.6 percent in 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Clearly unemployment rates follow economic conditions. Sadly, it also shows that during the most critical times – such as during war – the rate drops dramatically.

For those seeking work, no time period is good until work is obtained.

What Life?/Once more I find myself in the same situation. It’s been this way for a long time. I get up and get ready for  school. Usually when I get ready for school I lie to myself. I say Serena, you’re going to have a good day! A day filled with smiles and happiness. You’re going to succeed and become somebody. A famous rock star perhaps? Yeah a rock star! After I lie to myself I get back to reality and laugh at my sarcastic thoughts. When I finish getting ready I eat breakfast. Sometimes when I feel like crap in the morning I play my guitar. I let the music take me away to a wonderful place. I usually go to Tokyo but sometimes I go to London. When I finish my song the illusions and my fantasy life disappear. I wish I could stay there and be truly happy. But I can’t I have to put up with this thing called reality. Sometimes I feel a little better after the song is over but if I do it doesn’t last long. When I get back to reality dark thoughts enter my mind. Then I go through the depression stage. When I say depression stage I mean that the same depressing things happen to me everyday. Sometimes things are a little different but usually it’s about the same. I go through the day feeling a variety of depressing and angering emotions. The one that usually comes first is sadness. This feeling starts as soon as I get out of the car. I look around and see that everyone has a friend but me. It hurts. It really does. I start breaking down inside and my hopes of having a good day are crushed. But somehow I always manage to make it to class. The emotion that always comes second is envy. This feeling starts when I’m in the hall getting books out of my locker. I see girls walking to their classes talking to their friends or chatting with their boyfriends and I always start to wonder why can’t that be me? Why can’t I be the one who has the hot boyfriend and cool friends? Why can’t I be the one with the pretty face, the sexy body, and long wavy hair. Why can’t I be the one everyone says hi to? When these thoughts run through my mind I start to feel hatred in my soul. Eventually that hate turns into envy. I don’t like feeling this way. I don’t think anybody does. The third emotion always kind of takes me by surprise even though I’m used to it. That emotion is anger. I’m not a person who gets angry over every little thing. In fact I hardly ever get angry. But when I do get angry I never take it out on anyone or anything. I usually keep it to myself. Sometimes though my anger gets to be too much for me. When it does I cut myself. Seeing the blood run down my arm makes me feel better. I hate doing that but at the same time I kind of like it. I hate it because it’s not a healthy habit. I like it because it helps to take away the pain and release the depressing emotions I keep inside. When I finish cutting myself my anger subsides but I never forget what I was angry about. The fourth emotion hits me hard every time. The fourth
emotion is actually a mix of emotions I keep inside. When I start to feel lonely the boxed up emotions always come out. I start feeling lonely at lunch time. I dread going to lunch. I always sit by myself because I don’t have anyone to sit with or talk to. One of the first emotions to come out is fear, the fear of being lonely in darkness for all eternity. The other is a feeling of hopelessness. Hopelessness for me is when I’m all out of faith. I try to deal with it by telling myself everything is going to be okay. But right after I tell myself that a feeling of being torn comes out. That’s when I start feeling like I  need to cry. When I start to feel this way I get up, throw away my lunch, and hurry from the lunchroom. As I make my way to the bathroom the forth boxed up emotion comes out, dark depression. Dark depression is an emotion that feeds on the darkness in my soul. It’s an emotion that stays hidden most of the time but never disappears. When I feel this low I always have a  breakdown. I hate breaking down like that. But I fear that it’s getting worse and it happens a lot more now. I don’t know why this happens but every time I breakdown I get really sick. It gets so bad that I usually end up going home. I hate it when the counselor calls my mom because every time she picks me up and sees that I’m really depressed she cries. I always look away from her for it pains me to see her sad. I love her so much. She is the only person who can make me smile. I don’t know what I would do without her. When we get home I always sleep the rest of the day. I did sleep the rest of the day today. Which lead me to the same situation I’m always in. As I lay here in my bed I wonder if my life will ever change. I don’t think so but my mom does. But she doesn’t know what she is talking about. I hate to say that she is lying to but it’s true. I mean if my life was going to change wouldn’t it have changed by now? I know I’m destined to die alone, to suffer alone in darkness for eternity. My soul hasn’t found peace. If I die now I know I will suffer. If I wait and try to find peace I will suffer this  curse given to me called life. But if I live and I do find happiness in this life time the darkness in my soul will be  destroyed and I will be able to rest in peace. I don’t really know what I want to do. I guess I’ll wait a little longer and see what life has in store for me.

Yes, few candescent utilize like walking may service restrain symptoms of slump. This is the finish of a recent excogitate by scientists from the University of Stirling in Scotland.

As is acknowledged, weak take, especially that through in an existing and unflagging shown to aid patients in reducing symptoms of depression. Still, the benefits of gentle activity for the feat of period relic unreadable.

The scientist explained, close is an trenchant engagement to deal period and issue is the one when a soul commits an indefatigable workout.

“Close has the benefit of being easily performed by most group because it does not outgo the sakali and relatively light to cover in regular beingness activities,” said Academic Physiologist Composer of the University of Exeter, who was not implicated in the document.

Withal, Actress reminded the requisite for author search on the benefits of locomotion. Because there are ease umteen questions around how semipermanent it should run, how immediate and whether it is pouring must be through indoors or outdoors.

“The beauty of locomotion is that anyone can do it. Locomotion has benefits for psychogenic wellbeing conditions such as impression,” said Taylor, who had been the focalize of studying the essence of apply on incurvation, dependency and enunciate of the University of Exeter.

How grooming can supply to overcome incurvation relic undecipherable. Nonetheless, Actress said, may practice can be a revision from feelings of anxiety or vex, distribute a comprehend of interact and resign of hormones that devote a sensation of quietness.

“It’s historic to encounter the typewrite of utilize you enjoy doing. Try incompatible things, such as walking, bicycling, husbandry,” continuing Libber Cook, of a cultural activity that cares nigh psychic welfare.

“Workout with others can hump a greater result, as it provides us an possibleness to alter mixer networks. So shake a human to connect you,” he over.

I love the term self-help. It denotes the ability to help oneself overcome anything. In today’s world there are so many things for us to get depressed over we lose focus about the fact that we are in control. Maybe the loss of your job, or loss of a loved one, or life may not be where you would like it financially, spiritually, professionally, or personally. Whatever the case may be I am here to tell you that help is on the way. Luckily, help has arrived, because the person who is here to help is YOU! I like to say Overcome Don’t Become!  What does that mean? Simple, overcome your fear don’t become fearful, overcome addiction don’t become or stay an addict, overcome failure don’t become a failure, overcome negativity don’t become negative, overcome hatred don’t become hateful. Work on overcoming challenges or become a slave to them, but the extraordinary thing about it is the choice is yours and yours alone. Fantastic, but what do I do first? Simple stop blaming everyone and everything for your troubles, WAIT! I can hear everybody yelling at me already. Your situation is different. The universe is conspiring against you people are holding you back. Maybe your mother did not love you enough, a parent, or maybe both were alcoholics, or any of a million of other things have made life difficult for you. I get it there are a million challenges in life, but we have them. True some more severe than others, but they can all be overcome. There are many serious challenges that people have to overcome such as child abuse, sexual abuse, addiction, physical abuse, mental abuse and the list goes on forever. All of these things are horrible, but you cannot continue to blame your troubles on them and use them as your excuse as to why life sucks. You control these issues they do not control you. You are the only person who can stand up for yourself and say I will overcome! Remember Overcome Don’t Become!

The next step is making a list of all the things in life that truly suck, say for instance your job. Then under the heading of job list the reasons why you are doing that job, for example, to pay the bills and put food on the table. Then start thinking about how you got there in the first place, maybe you did not study hard enough in school, or you did not graduate high school, or just did not attend college, all, by the way, when you think about it, are your fault. Even if you quit school to work so you could help your family. It is still your fault; you have not gone back and finished your education. At the very least, you could have educated yourself in a trade, or set money aside even if it is a little at a time to be able to take a class here and there at the community college, or start a small business.

We can all make excuses I’m too old to start over, or I have health issues, or it will take five years to accomplish, and that is too long, or a number of other excuses. Remember start now, and if it takes five years to turn your life around, than it takes five years, so what, stop wasting time and get started. I am here to remind you of this one fact: Time never stops moving forward! So whether you start now and achieve the life you deserve five years from now, or you wait five years to start and achieve the life you want ten years from now, it does not matter to father time because he just keeps moving forward. So why not just start now, because I can guarantee this, five years from now you are going to wish you had started today regardless of how old you may be. When it comes down to it, we do not have the life we dream about because we simply do not want to put in the effort and time to achieve it. It is hard to work two jobs so that you can put money aside, or it is hard to sit in a classroom when you do not like school in the first place. It is difficult to get a divorce even though you are miserable or admit you need marriage counseling. People life is tough, and it never stops throwing challenges at you, but face it without challenges there would be no triumph and life would get a bit boring. Not everything that happens is under your control, but your response to it is. How you perceive things is under your control, and what you do to overcome them is up to you. So remember in your darkest hour ask yourself this question. Will I Overcome or will I Become? I am willing to bet you will find the strength to OVERCOME.

“It is nothing to die; it is frightful not to live.” – Victor Hugo

          This quote is what apathy is all about. By this, Hugo is trying to tell us that dieing and not living are not the same thing. When one dies, he ceases to breathe, and his heart stops beating. His brain stops sending signals to the rest of his body, hs organs shut down, and, in essence, his body becomes broken. When one does not live, however, they can lose interest in life. They do not die, but they can develop depression, lack of interest, suicidal thoughts, they may stop communicating with others, among many other possible side-effects. Essentially, they lose their connection with the rest of the world. They simply stop caring, either due to events that have happened in their life, such as the death of a family member, or the loss of their home. Apathy is often caused by a feeling of helplessness, a feeling that no matter what they do, they can’t change their situation, no matter how bad it is. One example 1is when can be the risk of losing your job. When, for example, a company is bought out by another company, the company that was bought out will have to make lay-offs to their employees. When somebody who works at that company does not have a sense of job security, they may develop worker’s apathy. In their mind, if the company doesn’t care about them, why should they do any work? Either they’re going to lay me off, or they’re going to keep me on, and until then, nothing I do matters, because it’s not going to change their mind.1 Synonyms of apathy include dispassion, halfheartedness, insensitivity, disconcern, disinterest, emotionlessness, and stoicism. However, nothing quite somes up the the above situation quite like apathy. Apathy, in short, is the lack of caring, or interest in the outside world. Apathy, while not technically a disease, is a very serious condition, because, as I mentioned before, it can lead to other conditions, such as depression, suicidal thoughts, disconnection with the rest of the world, and ultimately, if these conditions are not recognized and dealt with in time, death. One who feels apathy is not likely to mention it to other people, for a variety of reasons. For one, they may not know how to talk about what they’re going through, or they may not want to talk about it, because they feel like nobody can help them. They also may not want to talk about it because they feel it is something they can deal with on their own. However, another, and perhaps the most common, reason that people don’t talk about apathy is because they don’t realize that what they are feeling is apathy. They don’t realize how destructive their behavior is, and they don’t see it as a serious condition that needs to be dealt with. Apathy is very sad, because it is not often caught until it has developed further, and oftentimes it is too late once that has happened. Therapists can help people deal with apathy, but, the majority of the time, the one thing that can help an apathetic person is a feeling of power and control. If they feel in control of their own destiny, if they feel that what they do has an effect on them and on the people around them, they will start to reconnect with life, and eventually, their apathy may go away. In short, an apathetic person needs to feel that they pilot their own life, that they are their own captain. This is not to say that when dealing with an apathetic person, we should just leave them alone and let them work it out. No, when you meet an apathetic person, the best thing you can do is to help them by giving them a feeling of control. Only then can they truly start to feel that they matter.

And happiness doesn’t have to be about riches or power or having the biggest or best, but it is the way that a person uses the things around him to the best of his abilities, and for the betterment of the people around him.

How do I get happy?

Getting happy can  only be obtained if you want to be happy. We say don’t worry get happy. That is one way to get happy. Smile and the world smiles with you cry and you cry alone. Laughter is the best medicine. Have a positive attitude.Think happy and you  will be happy.All of these thoughts are acts of being happy. 

How do I stay happy?

We can be happy if we want to be happy. It is easy to be dark and negative and hopeless. We all can see the dark in every cloud and the bad in the world. It is difficult  to see the good in all things. So the question is how to stay Happy and not look at the bad and dark. First is to look at the good, the silver lining in the dark clouds. If a thing looks bad look at the good and the end result. If the end result is better than the beginning then plow through the problem and don’t dwell on the bad part/. 911 happened. we can’t deny that fact. but the end result is. we now have better ways to prevent that same thing from happening again. If the war between Germany had not happened then surgical procedures that we use today would have not been invented. Then end result out weights the bad and happiness is maintained.The choices we make effect the happiness of our lives. We tend to sweat the small stuff. i.e my house burned down but I have a hangnail. I have been unhappy and depressed for 30 years, and I still deal with it, but I have learned to not worry about the things I can not change. I think about the people that can change by the things I say and do.Positive thoughts and actions, will result in positive change in the end. And the final result may not be realized by you but by some one else. Laughter can help you be happy, it also relieves stress. Eat the right foods, small amounts of chocolate help. See your Dr. and talk about you problems he can help. And last not least, Belief in God or a power grater than your self. Singing the hymns of the church and having a good time with other believers, help with happiness.

Finally the ultimate choice is yours, chose to be happy or sad. Sadness will lead to sickness and depression and the loss of desire to live. But happiness will lead to a full and joyfull life full of new possiabilities and the desire to fullfill them, and the hope that no matter the quset, no matter how far no matter how hopeless, it is my Quest, thou I may be tattered and torn, I will emerge through the clouds and the storm, a better man, the results not known but I fullfilled my quest and I am happy for the life I lived. 

What can cause a young child to take him own life?! There is many contributing factors, but the main factor is that our children suffer from depression Feelings of hopelessness and anxiety, along with feelings of being trapped in a life that one can’t handle, are very real contributors to teen suicide. In some cases, teenagers believe that suicide is the only way to solve their problems. The pressures of life seem too much to cope with, and some teenager look at suicide as a welcome escape.

Other factors that may contribute to teen suicide include:

• Divorce of parents.
• Violence in the home.
• Inability to find success at school.
• Feelings of worthlessness.
• Rejection by friends or peers.
• Substance abuse.
• Death of someone close to the teenager.
• The suicide of a friend or someone he or she “knows” online.

As parents, peers and teachers it is our responsibility to see the warning signs early enough and to try and help these children. What is so difficult about some of these warning signs of teen suicide is that some of them are similar to normal adolescent behavior. But it would not hurt to look into this behaviour and know what warning signs might be!

It is always important that you handle your child with respect and understanding.
