I haven't posted much on mibba in the form of blogs, stories, or anything lately.I just felt the need to post this though.Do what you do, do what makes you happy.I thought I would never get the chance for that, and I have. I accomplished one of my dreams.I got to recieve bariatric weight loss surgery last month. I am down 55 pounds already, and plans to lose a lot more. It is a hard journey, but...

So, I have been at my job going on two years. I have been involved in the hotel industry going on 6 years now off and on. I can work every shift at this hotel (or most choice hotels for that matter). My manager who hired me (whom I have known for years) is quitting. Also, we are having one employee leave us (not by choice) and another leaving by choice. Another employee is walking the line too....

So, I know everyone is tired of hearing about the Warped Tour experiences of everyone, but I feel the need to vent about the awesome day I had. I took a mini vacation (about a 6 hour drive). I took my mother with me since I was going by myself. I used all my own money rented a hotel for two nights, and well yea.My first night in Nashville sucked. I overdrew my bank account and freaked out. The...

So, i'm trying to make sure my hotel room is secured, and that I have everything for my trip. I'm making a mini vacation out of the Nashville Warped Tour. I'm road tripping (only five hours or so), by myself sadly. I'm staying at a hotel in Nashville for two days and going to warped. Anyone going to the Nashville date should say hello to me, because i'm going by myself. I am supposed to be...

I have always had a fear of anything with wings. I have no clue why. Moths, butterflies, wasps, bees, BIRDS. However, none of the aforementioned creatures are attracted to me...except birds.I am terrified of birds yet starting about 3 years ago I noticed an intake of these beautiful creatures in my life. I may fear something, but that does not mean I will not acknowledge it's beauty.At first they...

Hi, so I have been thinking about going back to being a vegetarian. I was vegetarian for almost six years. I did not eat meat at all, or eggs. I loved diary, so I couldn't do vegan.I went to job corp after my 5th year and lost it. I wanted chicken wings, and chicken wings I got.Chicken was my gateway meat. I think it would still be my gateway meat (yes like a gateway drug, but meat)I just couldn't...

I am 23, I work hard.I work three jobs. Three part times that equal to about a full time and a part time. I work 52 to 60 hours a week. My body feels it too. I am in pain constantly, but it doesn't help that I am overweight and on my feet all day for one of my jobs.I work as a night time gas station attendant, and a night time front desk clerk at a hotel. I also work in the afternoons at the hotel...

If anyone loves poetry especially hard hitting poetry, and you have never heard of Andrea Gibson look her up. She will bring tears to your eyes. I had a fan girl moment meeting her. My best friend and I drove four hours to see her show in Cookeville, Tn. while we are in Memphis. We rented a hotel room and just made it a good time. I got her autograph and saw her live! While it would be an honor to...

So I have recently become addicted to purchasing band photography. I just got in my crowd shots from Sedition. I also just got in my crowd shots/band shots from Adam Elmakias. I have a whole album of Jeremy Saffer. I think his shots are my favorites, he just doesn't have any crowd shots from concerts (which are my favorite type of photo). I have a variety of his shots, models and bands included.So...

So, I have fallen in love with his work recently (not just his band photos either). I have ordered quite a few of his works. However, my black Friday orders came in and I am stoked! I have a Jessie Lee signed photo. Also, I ordered a William Control autographed sexy nun/priest type photo. They are amazing, well along side the other works I have from him...especially my Warped Tour Roadies...

I feel horrible. I'm 22, and I was fired from my job from something that was not my fault in early November. The reason was I couldn't learn to drive an electric pallet jack. I've been waiting on unemployment, but also applying everywhere. I have a crippling fear of people/social anxiety so I have to apply to places online, and my work history is great. But, I can't get even an interview at...

Today is going to be a long hard day. All the prayers needed for a friend(s) from highschool. They are supposed to be taking there baby off life support at Lebhonuer today, He is one month old.Me and my best friend are going for support for the couple.It is a really sad thing, but this life is cruel and sick, and hes going to be better off in heaven rather this sad world. : (Its hard on me b/c it...

My engagement is no more. My girlfriend/fiance or however you spell it broke it with me.I'm not going to lie it hurts.We've been on and off, more on though the last four years.She said its b/c shes having a mental breakdown, but what she does not realize is I have emotional breakdowns all the time b/c of my social anxiety and where I work.But to do it through a text is what hurt. Shes not with me...

I always wondered why my dad's ex wife would send ornaments for Christmas presents. I always thought her knick knacks were useless they would sit here, but they were always so pretty still. I loved them...love them.Well she passed away this November and it was real hard on everyone. Well mom was putting out Christmas stuff today. I had to go to my room to cry. I found out the reasons why she would...

So I shall shortly be leaving for a 13 hour road trip from Memphis, Tn. to Corpus Christi, Tx. Its going to be for a funeral of my dad's ex wife. :(So if you pray, pray for us please. For a safe trip and for strength.Also, Jamie Lostein and Yu's new song is epic! : )Hmm,I think there was another point to this journal but I forgot.Oh yea, my girl friend. She currently lives in Tx. So i'm hoping...

Now I just wonder who the MVP will be I hope its Freeze, Freese, whoever you spell his name. Pujols deserves it too, but the other guy really did as well.Also, passes out. Snores. I got off at flipping 9 am only to be at...

So everytime I go to Nashville/Columbia to visit a friend of mine I tend to get either a piercing or tattoo. Last time I got both, this time I just finished my tattoo.You can see on my profile myEt Tu' Brute?Now I have a burning coal beneath still derived from Julius Caesar. Yep, I love it. It did hurt a bit but it was well worth it, and i'm posting a picture on that, asap.It will be in bad...

Epic night. Well for the last part.Not only are the Cardinals leading the Series, but I found a new quote.Thanks to one of my best friend's friends tonight. We were at her house after mom and me had a huge fight. So she let me over at hers for a whileIt was her, her fiance, her kid brother, his friend, then this guy, and me.To quote him..."i'm mind fucking you. Do I need protection? I don't need...

Poor guy. I wasn't to close to him, but I did theatre with him in highschool. He also knew about my slight interest in girls at the time him being gay himself.He went missing a bit ago, and they found him. From according to someone in his familys facebook/a few other peoples postings. It sounds like suicide.Don't kill yourself. Its not worth it. He had a lot of people that cared about him. Hell I...
