Suffocate

I'm definitely going to say that technology has hindered relationships if I had a dollar for every angry phone call I have received just when a girl (eight out of ten times just a friend) has posted something somewhat flirty on my page or when a female wanted to go through my text messages and I have said no. I agree technology has made it easier to form relationships with all different types of people but you know how the saying goes "Easy come Easy Go!" and that's really what the majority of relationships are nowadays. I wouldn't go as far to say that I dislike texting but like my boy Isaac I didnt get a phone until after my freshman year so I like having a conversation with a girl and it kinda annoys me when they all just want to text. I just think technology gives people too much access to their significant other too soon leaving both parties with no room to breathe and ultimately kills the relationship. Technology it makes life easier, but Love harder.

Heartless like a robot

Technology makes us heartless like a Robot but more actuate too. I think its good for us to have technology with communication, because its so advanced it brings and breaks us down to our true primal selves. And in relationships I think that, is very important. Its best to know who each other truly are, than to dance around in a masquerade for life. Because if you allow your partner to keep putting up paper faces, you wont know what truly bothers them and or what they truly love, and then when some thing happens, and that partner just up and leaves it wont make any since, leaving you hurt and confused. But with clues from technology and their personality you will be able to see threw the mask and dance a wonderful song together, then when the song ends y'all may part more peacefully or chose to dance to another song. So I believe technology helps us grow.
I have a friend who gets really jealous  she knows that know by how she gets hurt when she stalks the guy she's with, because of that, she now tells that first thing when getting into a relationship, so there wont be any miss-understandings and he has heads up. Because of that, they have been doing really well together, he backs off on her things and she backs off on his and they work together much better.

(I was listing to Andrew Lyod Webbers music from Phantom Of The Opera while writing this, so that's why I had the theme of dance in my head)

How Much Communication Is Too Much? Blog 7 Due Monday, Oct 29th

Researchers looking at the impact of Facebook on relationships among college students found that the use of Facebook increased jealousy between friends and those in a relationship.  They identified four themes that contributed to increased jealousy.  They are as follows:
- Accessibility of information: Increased info about the interactions of significant others lead to increased monitoring and jealousy for 19.1% of participants
- Relationship jealousy: 16.2% of respondents were explicitly linked to Facebook use contributing to jealousy
- Facebook as an addiction: 10.3% of participants had major difficulty limiting the amount of time he or she looked at his or her partner’s Facebook profile.
- Lack of context: 7.4% of respondents referenced how Facebook can be ambiguous and that, without context, jealousy can be spurred over misunderstandings.
How do you think the use of technology has impacted interpersonal communication in the past 5-10 years?  Whether it be phones, texting, email, instant messaging, skype, social media, etc., has technology helped or hindered our interpersonal communication with others?  Please support your view with an example.

I know it is late

Ok, I know it is late but I did post earlier, but it was in the board where I was not logged in and it erased my comment. So I have to make a new post.
What I said was my most important issues that I have encountered was number 2 and 3. I work at a 4 star hotel and since it is a high end resort, etiquette is a big deal because you have to act in the most polite mannered. The guest I deal with are "rich" people, well these people can act like the biggest @$$ ever. They are so rude that they don't even look at you sometimes when you are near them or ignore you. Not all of them are rude though. Number 3 is also an issue because the way some of these people talk to me is like they are talking down on me and like I am nothing to them. Their tone of voice is sometimes offensive. One day I was working another associate and he was from Houston, he was all tattooed up and had a slang tone of voice, but he is in college as a junior, and majoring in architecture. This guest who looks wealthy was walking out and made a comment about the weather. My associate said something different about the weather also, well the guest said, "where is that at? In the Southside," of course we didn't say anything because we can't, but we sure did want to say something. Remember, never be rude to someone who is taking care of something of value because I garentee we will test drive the crap out of you car!

diversity... In the workplace ,,,oh yeah, we have that..NO CHOICE

In the workplace that I am familiar with is based on a civil service job, which is one from the get go is test based.Nobody gets into a job of this magnatude with the good ole boy system or having a relative in an influential position. Primarily, this makes most civil service related jobs very diverse and it is reflective in how we deal with one another.Many of the Fire Stations in Laredo have a shift Captain who governs all the little attitudes that his subordinates have towards one another; which includes himself at times. We all have very diffrent backgrounds,with guys from as far North as Massachusettes to as far south as being born in Mexico and becoming Naturalized citizens and Ultimately becoming Firemen through the proper process of test elimination through our physical agility tests,background, and battery of psychological tests that are designed to weed out unfavorable characteristic types of candidates. In the end we all have a common purpose at the end of the day and that is to pool all of our knowledge to reach a common goal for the sake of the commmunity which pays us. I wanna say ettiquette is usually the biggest deal for the guys and that is just because we all acknowledge that working along a border city that Spainish is going to be the predominant language spoken by evryone we come across. So when the Guys from up North start barking at the native Laradoans on Sunday who want to watch soccer; while they want to watch NFL Football, all I can do is laugh and find a corner to sleep.FYI>>> there are several tv's to settle these little diffrences,but without those diffrences then we could not have diversity.

Differences

I personally love working with people who are different from me I feel that it helps me grow as a person and further confirm my beliefs.One thing that does make me mad when you meet one of those people who just feel the need to tell everybody about their life its like bitch shut up! I don't mean to rude but it's so ignorant to talk as if what's happening in your life is the only thing that matters life is hard for everyone that's why it's called life.I don't think I've had a problem in the workplace I generally get along with just about everybody I meet, and if I don't like someone I just tend not to talk with them or hang around them at all. Sorry this was pretty Generic but I just haven't had the displeasure of working with someone I just fundamentally didn't like; I really should've named this post Similarities but oh well :)

The differences between us

Being a military kid, I have been in many different cultures and with many differ races as well. And it's amazing how many differences there really are. Out of all of those, at lest from my experience, clustering causes the least emount of trouble.  Language differences a probably the most demanding in a work place. Like when your up north, coke/soda is called pop, in Aulstriala  a rubber is an eraser... That one was really awkward. In Hong Kong chips was either alive or fried centipedes in baggies to eat-shutters-.
Next I think the tone of voice is probably the next most important. Americans have very monotone/flat voices compared to most cultures, when I was in Germany they all thought had depression issues, until I fixed the fluidness in my voice. And there can be so many misunderstandings if you say small things with the different tones of voices. Because the tone of voice is pretty much like body language, you don't have to know the language but the tone of voice can tell you, if there is danger or is the person is pissed off... You don't have to be genius to figure the basics out.
I would put the values in third place, because if the people your communicating with know your not from around there, and you mess up and apologises they typically, exsplane their values and if you seem interested in learning more about them, they tend to become excited to share more. So as long as you can listen and at lest seem interested, they tend to think your pretty cool and are more likely to forgive.
A for the clustering, as long as your pretty willing to learn to go with the flow, it's not hard to be excepted.now again, they is probably because I have lived in about 10 different states and been to 5 different countries and lived in 4 different countries(I don't count living in a place if I was there for less than 3 months) the first time I moved I was 2 years old, then after that on average I moved every 6 months to 9 months. So the clustering my never have effected me as much because I never grew up with the one group and the same friends. I've been forced to learn how to live  and make friends with tons of different friends. So at lest for me, it isn't a big deal.

Diversity in the Workplace- Blog 6 due Monday, Oct 22

Studies show that 52% of people perfer to work with people like themselves. This begs the question, "What about diversity in the workplace?" Since most of us cannot choose who we will have to communicate with at work, how do we navigate through the complexities of a multicultural workplace? The top 4 diversity issues that cause problems are:

1. Language Differences
2. Differences in Values and Etiquette
3. Tone of voice
4. "Clustering" (hanging out with others from similar backgrounds)

Post an example of how a difference in one of these areas has caused a misunderstanding due to diversity. Offer some suggestions on how you think communication between people from diverse backgrounds can relate better to each other.

True Story Bro

So today at work there was this baby screaming bloody murder in the restrooms across from my register. A few seconds after an abrupt silence, a morbidly obese woman waddled out the door.

I think it's safe to assume that a child has been devoured.

Real Border Wars!!!

I have had this EMScallthat has been irking me for 2 weeks now, the backdrop is along the Texas/Mexico Border where the Rio Grande River skirts the Nuevo Laredo{mex}and Laredo{us}cities. Now the former President Bush already knew of the escalating hostility along the border with Cartel leaders and Zeta rewards posted along the river for any US Official with a badge on.For this reason all Night operations fall under Federal Jurisdiction along the river

So one day I am assigned to 9109 and we are dispatched to the riverbanks in the Rancho Viejo subdivision,so my partner and I go. We arrive and find 3 children cold and shivvering at the very first house off a deadend street that goes right into the water of the Rio Grande. Once again, I must tell you that my spainish is piss poor to horrible as is my ability to decipher,.... Really, I like to call it the devil language to piss off my coworkers because its all they ever seem to speak in my presence. So I wrap the kids in blankets and ask the owners of the house to give me the lowdown on the kids. The owners of the house say that these kids walked over from the river all wetsoaked crying that their mother was washed away and they pointed to the direction she went which was down river. So I get on the dispatch radio and request to Central Fire Station to Launch the Rescue boat and look for a female who has gone downstream. Over the radio and suddenly, my EMS supervisor, countermands my request and requests the rescueboat to stand down. He arriver shortly thereafter as well as Border Patrol who has some hot chocolate for the kids and they want to know the story again which i already got,but it wasnt from the kids because I stupidly thought they all spoke spainish..... the eldest lil girl was 9 years old and she utters.."Sir, My mother went that way and is anyone going to go for her?". I am shocked that this child speaks english so fluently that I am still befuddled to this day... To all of our dismay we look at one another and again I ask my superviser, Why arent we going to dispatch the rescue boat? His response was that it was 15 minutes til sundown and by the time they got to our location and launched it would be time for them to come back. He was referring to the mandate that stated to all government entities that Homeland Security had now jurisdiction along the river at night because of the growing hostilities along the river so tonight their mother would have to hang tight against a branch and hope she didint get hypothermia and die overnight because Homeland Security hadnt allocated the funds for a recue boat for night operations, so the next day at first light it would deemed a body recovery....... Wait, Wait , Wait a godam minute I said, your both telling me that these kids mom is not even going to be searched for until tomorrow? My Supervisor says in a raised voice towards me," Tovar, are your pts in need of further assistance from EMS?". "No,they are a still a little hypothermic but they will be okay" I said. " Well then they are my problem now," the Border Patrol agent said to my left.. To which I now asked ," Well, whats going to happen to these kids now ?" ... My Super barks at me and says,"Tovar, thats none of your concern because they are no longer your pts and its rude to step on other agencies toes like you are doing."..............This is where, I get pissed.!!!! " MUTHER *UCKIN< *UCK YOU, AND *UCK HIM," "Whats going to happen to these kids?" Now the agent says calmly that they will be processed and kicked back across bridge #1 in abt two hours or so. The kids now hearing all of this start crying and the 6 yo girl says, can someone call my dad in san antonio.. he is a painter who lives off Culebra road and his cell number is %^*#&**&(*/ so I tell my super if I can do that for these kids to which he utters," Tovar, You can consider yourself on sick leave after this call because you have gotten to emotionally close to this call to be effective at your job." "GOD sent me to this call and it is god that compels me to always do the right thing.... So I absolutely did get back to the station and go on sick leave,but in the parking lot i called the kids dad and told him to get his ass to Nuevo Laredo bridge #1 that his children were about to be probably sold into the child sex trade or used as slaves because they just lost their mother tonight. What would yall have done? I am open to suggestions.... any takers???? Is there no1????

Why Would You Want To Break Up?

How do you know when Its really Over?\

That's a complicated question to answer for the simple fact that everyone is different, and that each person deals with breakups at their own pace. Me personally I'm usually back at the hunt in a couple hours or whenever I see a cute girl ha. But then again as most Ludos' know relationships have never been my strong point; there was one time not with a significant other but with a very close friend of mine we had gotten into an argument over some douchebag guy she liked at the time long story short she chose the guy. I think that's the closest thing I had to a shocking breakup, and lost a good amount of faith in the female gender as a whole. You know when it's really over in my opinion when you stop thinking about them and stop generally caring for their well being. That includes hating someone too "hate" takes energy and effort and if your willing to use all that energy or effort on that person you still must care for them.Two words. Three vowels. Four constenants. Seven letters. It can either cut you open to the core and leave you in ungodly pain or it can free your soul and lift a tremendous weight off you shoulders. The phrase is: It's over.” In actuality if you break up with someone 95% of the time it's probably because you two weren't meant to be together no one has to do anything wrong your just two pieces that just don't fit anymore. And that's why you SHOULD want to break up anything else is probably you just being selfish.


Just keepin it one hunnad

My confession to murder...

HEADLINES, PEOPLE!!! THAT'S how you grab a reader's attention!

I never killed anyone. Never consciously or on purpose.

But since you're here now reading this, my band's doing a battle of the bands this Sunday at Jack's Bar. It's only $7 if you buy the tickets off me. $9 at the door. All ages. So if you happen to have $7 in your pocket when you see me in class or around campus, and you have nothing planned this weekend, what better way to spend it all than supporting a fellow classmate?

Just move on with life

Maybe it's just me, but after a break up, yeah I'm sad but I don't really play any tug of war with my ex, if he left me(or i left him) he isn't meant to be in the big picture anyways, so it's time to look forward and move on. Grant it, I've had very few relationships, mostly cause I believe dating is ment for finding that perfect person, so for me, if I can't be best friends with them before hand, I won't get in a relationship With them, and we'll just stay close friends. Which is awesome too. But from my past history, I find that just moving forward is the best thing, get involved with your friends more, learn a new sport/hobby/thing and don't allow your self to all lost on them. They don't like you, they arnt worth your time and effort then. :)

Break-ups....like medicine,its horrible to swallow

I guess because throughout my middle and high school yrs I never dated let alone have a gurlfriend, Haaa!!! what a laugh!! I remember feeling so gruesome an ugly that I knew I couldn't get any; even in a brothel with a fist full of fifties. wife#1 comes along while I am in the Service and wants a career man in the military,but I was tired of saying,"yes Sir" to everyone in the sevice who wanted to send me off to some conflict or dissaster half way around the world. She threatened to leave me if I left the military..So I left. I wanna say that I began to feel not so monsterous shortly after joining the fire dept but reality hit when the other cadets also mentioned that every available female in town was coming onto them like a freakin tramp. Of course, with a firefighter they knew they could just be stay at home wives. I never have known what I could bring to a relationship except canned stupidity and the ability to drool on a pillow with regularity,but I did marry#2 and in my haste to please her... I lost myself. There absolutely must be comprimise in a relationship or it will never work.If someone takes all your m&m's long enough in the relationship eventually you will realize that if you were not allergic to chocolate then you might actually have had a problem with what they were doing? Allowing someone to dole out affection to another is almost a form of imprisonment,because that person is robbing them of their destiny of true love. So now,despite knowing I am not an Ogre..I always feel like one when I break up with a gurl. This girl I dated about a year ago was tremendously disfigured in her lower extremities to the point where she needed crutches all the time just to walk around anywhere. I was nice enough to help her whenever I saw her out and I would take the newspaper to her door for her because I couldnt bare to see her walk outside and struggle to get the dam paper. One day she asked me out and I could never turn down a girl who has the courage to ask a guy out, so I said," Sure". She mentioned that she did her laundry at the laundrymat and had trouble getting ready because she was running late to get ready for our date. I was shocked. So I had my plumber buddy go over and install washer/dryer connections outside her house so she didnt have to go anywhere. Eventually, I heard through the neighborhood kids that she had told all the neighbors that we were involved. I let it continue and never mentioned it to her because I realized she appreciated what i was doing for her and she had gained a bit of pride with my attention to her quality of life.However, I also have a son who requires a great deal of attention and when I didnt take her for an engagement she had made plans to attend with myself as a result of my sons school engagement which took presidence. I show up the next day to get her routine list of groceries that I get for her and she throws a pot at me and screams at me to get out. I had to say this because it needed to be told to her," You move like molasses downhill! I have spent more time assisting you than I do my own grandmother, and the truth is that you are going to just fall down one day and by the time you realize it, your going to be on a table with the surgery team in the next room prepping to cut one if not both your legs off." Y did I say those horrible things you ask?.....because I cared enough about her to say them to her. Now we are just friends and she is attempting to lose weight to have knee surgery because she needs to meet the surgical criteria to be a good candidate for the surgery an with me doing all those things before like going for groceries and accomodating her handicap, I was holding her back....from her destiny.

Are We Done Yet? Blog #5 Due Monday, Oct 15th

Break ups are usually messy. Your book doesn't talk about all of the tug-of-wars that happen after dissolution. (Getting back together over and over, trying to be "friends", jealousy when you see them with someone new, etc.) During this time, it's difficult to know when the relationship is completely over and it's time to move on. Share with us your thoughts and experiences on this whole "after the dissolution" phase. How do you know when it's REALLY over? When do you stop trying to rekindle the fire? When do you know that you're ready to move on?

DO NOT READ THIS POST!!!!

Wow. You actually clicked "view"


Not surprising.


It seems like the only way to grab people's attention nowadays is to tell them NOT to do something. Because most people don't usually do what they're told anymore. But I suppose that usually depends on deliverance and reception. And that pretty much goes for everything.

A perfect stranger with a scraggly beard and shades can beckon you from a distance and you might be prone to walk the other direction. But if he's wearing a police uniform, it might be in your best interest to do what you're told.

And that's not just limited to obedience. It applies to words in general.

I'm a cashier at Target. Last night I rang up a familiar face. A girl from middle school. Attractive, athletic, abides by trends, in with the social crowd, that type of girl. The type of girl who takes advantage of her high popularity and indulges in the misfortune of those with a lower social status than hers. At least that's the way she was in middle school. And people change, I'm living proof of that, but people like her usually don't. She was with a few friends. One in particular who I found especially attractive. She was more "pretty" than she was "hot" and there IS a difference between the two. I had to hold myself back from saying something. I could've complimented her on her eyes or hair, but why bother? Positive input doesn't mean a thing to girls like that. Not unless they already have a high perception of you. Someone like me (a musician, an artist, a Target cashier) could say one thing and they'd be all "thank you" about it; but if the same thing was said by a football player or Hollister employee, then it would mean ten times more to them.

It's one thing if an amateur writer received constructive criticism from a revered author vs a high school sophomore, but visual physical beauty is a little more universal than that and it doesn't require a certificate or badge of honor to be recognized with validity.... Unless of course you're a cheerleader or you formerly dated someone with a high status.

Blog #4 reply what's your eq

Out of the four major aspects, I think self awareness and self management are the most important in living in a successful life. Self awareness could be first, like what everyone said, because if you you don't know who you are or aren't aware of who you are or can be then you can have problems with a relationship or with friends. You have to know who you are before you can continue on with a relationship. Once you have an awareness of who you are and what you have become, then you can manage your self.  Basically you have to be aware of you are before you can become whatever you want and achieve everything you can.

To Be.....Or, Not To Be has always been the question

To have a fulfilling life with reasonable ups an downs; I have to say one has to master the practice of Relationship Management. This takes decades and I do mean decades to even grasp the heirarchy within ones own professional organization. Many times I see a new cadet get placed at a firestation and his naiveness to the competitiveness of his colleagues makes him prone to mishaps where he is made the butt of everyones laugh that day or at that training exercise. That cadet failed to recognize that his mentor at that particular firestation felt threatened enough by this more agile,younger,faster,more assertive cadet to bleed out his self contained breathing apparatus by 1/2 a tank; making the cadet look like he lacked conditioning while wearing and working in his full structural firefighting gear which adds 70+ lbs to your weight before you have even attempted to step out of the truck to put out anything that looks remotely like a fire. So typicly, the fire crew gets out and begins their little training exercize and the old smoking firefighter is working calmly and noting to the Captain that the cadet appears to not have any stamina to put himself in a good light,now the Captain knows the kid has consistantly done the best timewise when it comes down to his SCBA cylinder running out of air last among them all week,so he is floored when the kids cylinder alarm starts ringing before the rest of the crews meaning that engine company has to pull out of the rescue prior to the other engine companies times and distance into the exercize within that district. So come decision time the Captain will evaluate who remains at his firestation or who gets sent out to a diffrent district entirely; That cadet we all have been in one aspect or another either with a girlfriend who wanted to date the same guy you did or that coworker who always seems to save the day while making everyone else around him look grossly incompitent. The true tact comes from recognizing the social cues that others around you send off subconsciously, interpreting that and have your mentor firefighter want to leave that station of his /her own accord.

Manage your self.

After watching and taking that test I would say I believe the most important out of the 4 is managing your self. Because its one thing to be aware of your self, but being aware your upset or what ever won't help you is you can control it. So that's why I say managing your self. Same with the other two.  Social awareness can help you figure out where you belong, but if you can manage where you belong, then you also control your own social status, because you will have the ability to not just know where you are but where you choose to go and whe you want to be on that ladder. That's all from being able to manage your self. And then number four should have to go with out saying, there is no way you can manage relationships unless you have already gotten your self under control. Having self management gives you the upper hand in every situation, it gives you the ablitie to stay calm in a heighten situation, gives you the reason to stay cool in a stressful situation and it means you know yourself well enough to know your limits and levels. Now I'm not saying that means you don't push up to a certain point and stop, I'm just saying it teaches you to be smart and not get your self hurt in the presses. 
So my vote goes to saying, know your self, control your self, then move on to other people then the world. Just remember it starts with you alone, because your writing your journey.

Men Mars/Women Venus. Unga Bunga!!!!

love,love,love, love.. love.. love..luv, luv, luv,luv.....what else is there to say about the strongest force in The known Universe? Love,I recall is the reason why Brad Pitt went to war in a foreign country. Helen of Troy was said to have been so awe inspiringly beautiful that her face launched a thousand ships in the name of love. I have Absolutely No Doubt that a couple in love and I mean truly in love could move Mount Everest over five feet in any direction. The power of love is that inspiring. I also feel comfortable enough in saying that there also can be several degrees of love which can easily be misinterperted by either party as the relationship progresses. Can one member in this dou' be so spellbound and madly infatuated with the other individual that they become A Love Addict, any thing is possible I am guessing? In either case they most likely have a stalker on their hands, and that is why I try to not consort with the enemy during buisness hours, I realze that love can happen at first sight but the likelihood is astronomical. I better stop...I think sumtimes my willingness to be as insightful and direct to the point sends me on tanjunds where I speak rhetoriclly about who knows what????

No Love

EXTRA! EXTRA! EXTRA! I am not a love addict; I know huge shocker huh

What Love Is Suppose To Be: love is suppose to mean something its suppose to be one of those words that you say to someone when you are willing to sacrifice for them when just their smile can make your day

What Love Has Become: :( Yes ladies and gentlemen that is a sad face because instead of love being all that sappy crap that i wrote before its this

The Most Common Reasons People Say I Love You the 2012 Edition

1. To get sex i know these people and you know these people who say i love you just to get it in it is a sad reality but it is reality nonetheless

2. Whenever someone brings you sonic or Starbucks or really any type of food hey raise your hand if you have either heard this before or have even said this to a person. Hey if you bring me food I'll love you forever; I mean common people is the word Love so cheap that it can be bought with McDonalds or a cherry limeade during happy hour.

3. To your friends just about fifty times a day now i admit this one has really gone down since graduating high school but it occurred so much during high school that it still made the list this honestly drove me nuts throughout high school no @$#%? i don't love you just because you helped me pass English class

I honestly couldn't tell you why people fall in love so hard when in reality all you have is a little puppy crush i don't think its biology i think it has something more to do with the individual and their attachment style and self esteem. Love is suppose to mean something, its suppose to be said only when you honestly feel it, and aliens supposedly exist, and Sarah Palin is supposedly smart -_- do i think any this is true today yes (except for the Sarah Palin thing i mean come on) but only for about 20% of people today if Love is a drug it can't be bought or made and honestly there's no point at all in looking for it you just have to wait until it finds you but until then have fun :)

Love bug!

When saying that 4 letter word can change a whole relationship around especially when you don't mean it. What I think of a love addict is, is a person who who barely getting started in the relationship and is already getting ready to say that they are in love and that they want to spend the rest of their life with this person. Well honestly they are full of bs, excuse my language, but if you are going to use the word please use it when you mean it. The people who aren't love addicts actually know what the word means. Those people know for sure that if they are going to say it, then they know that that person is the one they want to spend the rest of their life with. Love addicts do not just pop up out of no where, they become love addicts through past relationships. This problem can be caused by self esteem or by attachment styles, at least what I think. Love is like a drug and can be very waddictive when abused in the wrong way, thus causing love addicts.
