  • Burglary suspects wear permanent marker

    These two men actually tried robbing an apartment with permanent marker on their face. The police pulled them over and as you can see in the picture above it wasn’t hard to know it was them who were trying to rob the apartment. Matthew McNelly, 23, and Joey Miller, 20 were arrested at gunpoint because the cops where told they may be armed, neither of them had weapons on them but they were arrested for 2nd degree burglary, and later released on bond.

    My thoughts:

    Ok first off that guy on the left how old is he? He looks like he’s at least in his 30’s! Second…. REALLY?!? Permanent Marker used as a mask? What were these two thinking? Obviously they weren’t. I also wonder how long it will take to take off that permanent marker off their face.

    I know things are tough out there, but if you are going to rob and I’m not saying to do this because there are other ways of getting money, but if you are doing this, at least wear a real mask, not one that’s painted on and one that you can’t even take off. These men deserve to get caught out of stupidity.

    If you are going to do something do it right!

  • I need a Vacation

    I need a vacation, and I needed it about yesterday. So I know what you’re thinking, didn’t she just go to Seattle in August. YES, YES I DID! And I absolutely loved it. I hope to one day just be able to travel to different cities. Get to know a new place, be away from home enjoying that alone time with my boyfriend and without a worry in mind, for a couple of days, it’s just US. Us and this Great big City we know nothing about.

    Live some place you’ve visited?

    My boyfriend loved Seattle so much he wants to move there, heh. I on the other hand did love it. I do love the West Coast. I lived in San Diego, California for 2 years and I absolutely loved it. I want to go there one of these days with my boyfriend, I think he’ll love it too. I honestly think I was made to be a West Coast Girl. Now the reason I can’t leave Miami, one word, Family. I’m close to them and although I can manage to live away from them, because I have, I now have 2 things or rather I say little people who I adore and love so much, my nephews. I couldn’t see myself leaving and not being in their lives as much. But that doesn’t stop me from my VACATIONS!

    I’m ready… are you?

    I don’t know if I just got the feel of a great vacation or that I’ve just been so stressed with work, school, and always having something to do after my day at work, but I feel like I need another vacation and soon. It’s hard though, because I have to arrange it with my school schedule and I have to have enough time off from work too. Other then that, oh yea I have to save money for it too, but that can be done. Don’t eat out for a while, just save and have a great vacation that follows. I think I can handle that.

    Where do I go next?

    So I’ve been to Seattle. I want to go to Vegas again but with my boyfriend whose never been, but that’s a vacation I would love to save to go with a bunch of our friends. San Diego, I want to go to also, but I want to do a whole week so we can go to LA, Napa Valley and San Fran….Chicago I’ve heard is beautiful and fun, that’ another City we sure want to visit.

    Any Ideas? Any thoughts, or locations you want to visit, let me know, leave a comment.

  • Sometimes in life things don’t go as planned…

    Sometimes in life things don’t go as planned
    Sometimes we run from the bad things at hand
    Sometimes we face them and hope for the light
    Other times we hide for cover not knowing where to part.

    Some of us hide and cover our hearts, not wanting to get to hurt, not wanting to cry, not wanting to feel those feelings that we hide deep inside.
    Some of us we open our hearts to others, hoping they’ll love us, hoping for truth, hoping to God for someone to love, showing us the life we always dreamed of.

    Some people suffer,
    Some are born rich,
    Some are born disabled,
    Some are just sick.
    Some people cry all the time
    While others carry the world on their shoulders.
    Some people laugh without a worry in mind but,
    Everyone’s different, that’s the world we can’t leave behind.

    Sometimes in life things don’t go as planned
    Sometimes we run from the bad things at hand
    Sometimes we face them and hope for the light
    Sometimes we just sit back and pray that this life we live is just RIGHT!

  • Potentially changing the site URL…

    I started Soapnights.com with a different idea in mind. I started off writing and talking about Grey’s Anatomy. If you know me, you know I’m a big fan, and it’s really the only show I have time to still watch with my busy schedule. As time went by it became difficult for me to watch Grey’s some nights and I had less time to chat about it on the site. There were also big competitors like oh lets say… ABC.com 🙁

    Soapnights.com

    Soapnights became something more to me, I started thinking about what I do best, what I love the most. Helping people, current events, random thoughts, poetry all mixed up in one website. Soapnights is slowly becoming a site where if you have a problem or random question that you want advice on I'll give it to you. I'll write about current events that I think are important for others to know. Or random thoughts about every day life, including a few poems I've written. So eventually I want to potentially change the site URL to either kristin-nicole.com or staging.kristinnicole.com/. Depending on which one I can get. Any opinions on the dash?

    Kristin Nicole…

    staging.kristinnicole.com/ I am hoping will lean towards more helping people with their problems and questions. If you look through my site you will see Categories and under Friendships and Families I have a few people who have written in with questions, you can get an idea on where I want to go with this. I will continue to do what I do, write what I feel and say what I want to say because that's just who I am.

    I hope that you like who I am too and continue to come visit my site. I can't wait to get the new design up and running and change the URL to krisitn-nicole.com or staging.kristinnicole.com/.

    Please give me your input….

  • Anger takes the best of you…

    Anger: A strong feeling of displeasure or hostility.

    Why are some of us so angry. Are we angry with someone in particular? Are we angry with life? Are we just so angry we haven’t noticed we’ve been living like this for so long that you don’t know what other way to be?

    Sometimes it’s me?!?

    Sometimes I feel angry, it’s an emotion we all carry inside ourselves. Mine, takes over, it brings on anxiety sometimes, it’s a feeling I don’t know how to let go of it. Then I sit and I try to breath, take deep breaths I tell myself… sometimes it works and other times if I’m angry because of someone I have to talk it out right then and there, if not it will eat at me the entire day where I can’t concentrate or think or talk. We all carry this horrible feeling inside of us called ANGER, but not all of us know how to keep it under control.

    Be Careful…Anger…

    Sometimes we go through life living each day as it comes, and each day that anger grows, and without you realizing it, it starts to ruin relationships, friendships, life… Some people don’t know how to control their anger. It’s so bad they have to go to an anger management counselor. Some people hold in their anger, but the problem with this is, that later eventually the person explodes. It’s not good to hold in your anger, you have to let the person know how you feel. And others just know how to control it, don’t let the small things in life make you angry. We can’t change certain events in our life, why hold on to something that eats away from you when we can’t change it?

    Great quote:

    “He who angers you conquers you”. ~Elizabeth Kenny

    “For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness”. ~Author Unknown

    And in some cases:

  • Can famous people stay together?!?

    Famous people love…

    I was going through some articles on line and one of them was showing all the couples in Hollywood who have or are getting divorced just this year.

    Divorce

    As I kept reading on, I started getting a bit sad. Hope was starting to diminish. Can a famous person stay married? Stay in a relationship and actually be truly happy? It is starting to dawn on me that maybe no one is every truly happy, there really is no Happily Ever After in this world.

    Excuses?!?

    Sometimes I understand that things don’t work out, and sometimes things just weren’t meant to be, the love was no longer there, there are differences, he or she cheats. Okay, okay, those are great excuses, but how do so many marriages seem to just be thrown away. As if saying I do in front of God meant nothing, as if love is nothing.

    Hope…

    I want to believe that marriage can one day last forever. My parents although not a perfect relationship as managed to stay together for 31 years now. But they aren’t famous, so, does that give us regular folks hope, that maybe it does work out?

    Possibility?!?

    Still it would be nice to see a famous person fall in love and stay together for always. There are some of them that have worked out but it seems even more recently couples who have been together for 20+ years are even getting divorced. What does this say about our society? Maybe people just fall in love too fast and think that this is the person, when in reality you don’t even know this person, but for those who have been married for so many years, I would think you knew who you married a long time ago.

    A few quotes I found that I thought you may like:

    “Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate, but through being the right mate”. ~Barnett R. Brickner

    “A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person”. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic’s Notebook, 1966

    “Life is simple, its just not easy”. ~Author Unknown

    Love is giving, receiving, knowing deep down that this person is the only one that you want to spend the rest of your life with. Love is knowing when in your heart you can’t stop thinking about this person. Love is Love, and when you have it, you have to do everything in your power to not let it slip away.

  • Why is life so complicated

    Why does life have to be so complicated.

    Why can’t you come to me naturally
    Like the morning breeze
    Like the sun rising in the mornings
    Like the smile that enters your heart when something good happens.

    If you could turn back time what would you do?
    Would you make life just a little less complicated?
    Would you take back those words you said that made tears roll down?
    Would you turn dark sky’s into rainbows?

    Would that make life a little less complicated?
    If everything was sunshine and rainbows
    would I be happier?

    Sometimes I sit there in silence only wishing for what I dream for to finally come true.
    How long do I have to work and pray and dream for?
    How long before something actually starts working out?

    If every day were sunshine and rainbows
    would you give me a little smile
    tell me everything is going to be okay
    would you look up into the sky and just know that today life is going to be just a little less complicated?

  • MacBook issues

    Ohhhh the broken LapTop

    The last 2 days I’ve noticed that when I go to charge my laptop that the charger light is very dim, but it continued to show the signs that it was still charging my laptop. Last night, I took one quiz on line, I had my list out of things to do, I was going to do at least 2 quiz’s on my other class and my Math homework. My day was cut short and I was hardly able to do anything after my computer shut down and wouldn’t turn back on. I was frustrated and tired, so after dinner we headed out to the Apple Store in the Falls. We didn’t have an appointment so we were on the standby list. We were waiting for almost 2 hours when we finally got called up. He tested the computer to see what it could be, he said it could either be the connection to where you charge the laptop (DC-IN board replacement) because it wasn’t the battery, or it could be the motherboard. Not only can they not just sell me the part, to see if we can do it ourselves, since my boyfriend knows how to fix things like this, but it’s also going to take 4-7 days to get fixed. If it’s not the problem and it is the motherboard they call you and you have to decide if you want to get it fixed for $300 and up. YIKES!!!! So I have a big decision to make if its the motherboard.

    To keep the old faithful that’s failed, or to get a new Laptop?!?

    My laptop has been great for almost 2 years now. But some may say that 2 years isn’t old, and it shouldn’t be giving me problems so soon. I agree, and as much as I brag, and always give points to the Mac, last night it failed me. I’m very upset and very frustrated because I have classes on line and now I have to either use my boyfriends old laptop which is smaller or the the computer in the office room, and I won’t go into detail as to why I hate going into that office, but I just want my LAPTOP BACK! So I have a decision to make because if it isn’t the DC-IN board replacement and it is the motherboard I can either fix it or wait about 4 months or so for Apple to come out with the new ones, and then get a new one. I know in about a year or so I would want a new one anyway, so I think I would wait to get a new one, but oh what a mission I will be put on for the next 4 months or so with school. Why do things have to be so difficult?!? Just when I was starting to see things going up in life, something always brings you back down.

  • Today is the day for change…

    Today is the day I decide to change my ways
    Today is the day I stand tall and realize there is a change that needs to be made.
    Today is today, not tomorrow or the next, but right here and now, where anything can happen good or bad.
    Tomorrow may never come and then what?!?

    Today I choose to smile not frown
    Today I choose to love not hate
    Today I choose to shed tears of joy not sorrow
    Today I choose to live not die
    Today I choose to live, love and laugh because tomorrow’s not guaranteed.

    Why waste all your time sad or angry when you could be happy laughing, loving and living your life?
    That’s why today I make a change…

    Today I change my frown into a smile
    Today I change my hate into love
    Today I change my tears of sorrow into joy
    Today I change my life
    Because today I choose to live, love and laugh
