sometimes tv and movies can change u for the better

Being an 80’s child I grew up in a very idealistic decade, I guess u could say we were the last generation to walk home from school and still feel relatively safe, a generation of emerging latch key kids, but most of us also had the stay at home mother too......we could play till it got dark then it was always dinner time and a night of tv filled with sitcoms like the Cosby Show, Family Ties et al.......it sure was an idealistic time alright, we r the generation of dreamers, the ones growing up thinking all was possible.....and anything we wanted to accomplish not only were we allowed to accomplish it but we were inspired to......yes it was a great time to grow up!!! and like most of my fellow 80’s kids, it is still the reason why we are idealistic dreamers searching for that ever inspiring path......and it is also why today we r all self confessed 80’s geeks.....I sure am:):).....just take a look at my dvd collection:):):) I truly believe tv and movies do influence the person we become......those ever so cheesy but oh so loveable sitcoms, and the myriads of inspiring 80’s movies I grew up on all have a special place in my heart and a few (one movie and one tv show in particular) really started that dream in me of being a writer........the movie was Stand By Me.......simply for the way it captured such profound lessons in friendship, it was also just the inspiration itself of the narrator/writer that made me stop and take notice and start looking at my own life in a different way....(yes even at 12)...and the exact same thing and actually more so can be said for the tv show The Wonder Years.....the wonder years narrated the story of a seemingly normal guy looking at the world from his own unique and thought provoking perspective....both of these narrators captured what it means to be human to see life to live life and capture it moment by moment.....these narrators showed us that we never get a chance to really look at ourselves and our experiences as often as we would like or as often as we should........needless to say they not only had a profound impact on me as writer but also as a person to, if anything these narrators show us how fragile and fleeting our moments in time are and why it’s so important to treasure them and those we meet in them along the way.......so to friends old and new.....I won’t ever forget ya.......I may never get to write it as eloquently as shows like the wonder years portrayed every week.....but i’m sure gonna try:):)


Stand By Me!


The Wonder Years!

where'd u get that? oh this, I got it on eBay:)

eBay one little world that can mean so much to a person, it can mean getting a sort after childhood toy mib (mint in box), a never can be found anywhere else dvd, designer bargains and only in America goodies (to ppl like me not living in America trust me this is cool), a place to buy new clothes, to sell old clothes, new junk, old junk, a veritable 24/7 sale on everything and anything, shout it from the rooftops if u need something to find, the first place most of us will look is within one word eBay.......yes eBay can mean a lot of things to all ppl, including me....to me it actually means all of those things I just mentioned......although I haven’t sold anything for awhile....I’m such a nice person i’m too scared to sell if it has the tiniest of marks i’m paranoid about not mentioning it...incase I get that dreaded negative feedback (btw I have never had one bad thing said about me ever)......no selling was just too stressful so I just shop instead:):):) plus I never made any money from it anyways:):).....and yes I’ve had some horror stories too as a buyer like things not being NWOT......but used, really used yuk!!.......ppl ripping me off especially for postage I HATE THAT!!!!!!! and on really rare occasions ppl just being a plain rip off artist and not sending stuff or giving me back my money for whatever reasons, but that is definitely rare......and I’ve found the best way to deal with ppl like this is kill them with kindness......make them feel guilty for ripping u off......it’s worked every single time.....and the biggest thing to remember if all else fails adhere to their sense of greed.....I once bought some jewelery from hong kong.....when it arrived both pieces were faulty I sent it back for a refund as they had posted I could do that to begin with.......did I get a refund.......nope.....oh I got promised that it was coming, and coming and coming.......and yeah so was the deadline for leaving feedback.....so what did I do.......I told them that my best friends birthday was coming up the following week and I had hoped to buy more from them but as I hadn’t gotten my refund yet I didn’t have the funds....low and behold the next day paypal had refunded me my money.......did I buy from them again.......ofcourse not:):):):) but I got my money back.......so remember if ppl rip u off.......u don’t have to get mean and nasty....hit them with kindness and guilt them into giving u your money back cause karma is a u know what:):):):) but hey.....99% of eBay is nothing but fun and bargains and finding that elusive treasure......whatever u r into it’s bound to be found on eBay:):):) just today I pre-ordered the My Melody and Tarina Tarantino barbies from one of my fav sellers:):):) I’m sharing all this because I came across this weird al video below and wanted to share it.......as always feel free to tell me your eBay stories....take care all Jenn:):)

Just when u thought it was safe to go in the water!

Ok, so most of u know that I am a shopaholic, a typical girly girl who loves all things cute and kawaii, butterflies, cupcakes, rainbows, hello kitty, just a few of my favourite things right.....well there is another favourite thing of mine that not many people know about......my love of sharks....in particular the great White Shark.....I know right.....how can anyone love sharks.....well since as far back as I remember I always have....sharks have always just fascinated me......from as far back as I can remember to now I have watched almost every documentary ever made and every book I could get my hands on, and at age 11 I was also finally allowed to watch JAWS:):):)...At age 14 I watched a particular documentary made by Al Giddings filmed here in Australia, he was one of the first people to dive outside of a cage with a Great White just himself and a broomstick (for protection) and a cage nearby, he proved that by watching a shark who is watching u, u take away the element of surprise and therefore the element they most need to ambush u and well bite u:):):)what intrigued me most by this experiment was the fact that he got in the water with one shark but in the space of a few minutes 2 more great whites show up so by this time he gets back in the cage, but he deemed the experiment a success because hey he didn't get attacked....well to a 14 yr old self wannabe shark expert the fact that 2 other Great Whites showed up raised many more questions for me,so much so that I wrote my theory to Mote Marine Laboratory in Florida (they hold the shark attack file for the entire world), the professor was really sweet and I guess humoured me but he wrote me back and said that yes that was an intriguing theory:):):).....to me it was like that first Shark watching Al was like hey Bob! hey George! come get a look at this guy???? and I must say it has since been proven that Great Whites often hunt in nearby groups, and will call each other over to check stuff out....so there u go:):):):) I just wanted to share this with u well because I'm bored hehehehe and also to state to the world that sharks and especially the Great White will always be my favourite animal of all time....simply because they r mysetrious, powerful, emote intrigue and fear and fascination in all of us whether we like them or not.....even today a shark attack will make front page news for those very reasons.....oh and if u r wondering...yes I did want to be a marine biologist for many many years....but I was really really crap at science:P....and well other dreams like being a writer took over too:):):) so there u go....I love Great Whites and u should too:):):)
isn't he cute:):)

In my 20 something years of research on Great Whites here is some tips and facts:):)
*Do not swim or surf at dawn or dusk
*Do not swim or surf on rainy and especially rainy and muggy days, the water is more murky and it also churns the sea which sharks just love
*Do not swim or surf near rocks or where the sea meets a canal/river or where it dips suddenly
*Do not wear bright colours or shiny jewellery this will attract sharks...they like a bit of bling just like me hehehehe
*Do not splash wildly or have irregular strokes this will attract sharks: true story a guy once got attacked in the States....about a minute after re-creating a scene from Jaws
*Do not go anywhere near seals if u see a seal u may as well hear the theme from jaws too
*Dolphins in the water does not always indicate it's safe to swim they can leave a lot faster than u if a shark suddenly appears

Shark Attacks:
Ok there are many theorys on shark attacks.....through the 90's and early 00's it was commonly said by experts that when a person was attacked especially if they were a surfer it was usually a case of mistaken identity the shark thought he was attacking a seal because surfers look a lot like seals from the surface and therefore sharks r more likely to attack u and for swimmers they r usually attracted to the sound of your splashing/swimming or they r just curious and come across u and bite u as an experiment....for many years I pretty much agreed with these theories but the last few years and with new research proving other theory's this is what I believe now!

Shark Attacks:
Sharks attack people for many reasons, it has since become a proven fact that Great Whites have many personality's some are even shy, others r very curious and others r just plain agressive and probably want to attack and dare I say it kill u.....most sharks though will attack u just because of their curiosity not neccessarily mistaken identity as perviously thought....they see u or more to the point hear u and wonder what u r so they check u out, they watch u, they may bump u and eventually they bite u, they usually swim away after just one bite(and sadly one bite can be all it takes) but on rare occassions or if the Great White or any other of the 300 odd species of shark (btw only 10 r considered man eaters)r aggressive they will attack u to kill u....but the chance of that happening is like so many million to one....99% of bites r just the one off test bites....so that is why some people get taken by a shark and others live to tell the tale. They r big animals that r curious it's as simple as that, and the only way they can test their curiosity is by biting u.

This concludes the end of today's lesson:):) as always thanks for reading:):):)
