Hackers

My computer is used only for school work. I do not even have a Facebook. Recently, I have had trouble loading websites. Today, Google Chrome tells me that I may be communicating with a hacker! This is so annoying because I avoid unnecessary sites. I would be nice if people would get a life and quit trying to take advantage of people. What's the deal?

More....PLEASE

Childhood obesity is very common today. The problem can be blamed on fast food or even parenting. It is easy to run to the store and buy a couple of honey buns, a 240 calorie coke, and a high sodium snack.

I honestly think that over-eating is also due in part to a person's emotions and life-style. In my family, we celebrate, evaluate, and even mourn over food. From experience, I will eat an unhealthy food when I am busy and on the go. It's all about convenience. Some parents work and leave their children responsible for getting themselves a meal. An adolescent typically will not eat a balanced meal by choice.

The weight-battle is continuous. We know what is right, but we can’t always fight what is sooo good.

Keeping Up

I like the finer things in life. If I buy something expensive, it is because I like it.

Each holiday, I take time to decorate our home extensively. If we have a gathering or company, I want the home to be warm and inviting. Recently, I went to the store to buy Easter decorations. My total was $120.

I know this stuff is not necessary, but I am used to it. It's funny how I have become accustomed to certain things in life that are insignificant to me. I do not care if there are decorations or not, but I believe other people do. I'm thinking about saving the money insted. After a while, I should have a nice nest-egg.

The Beter Half

I think it is funny how some people make excuses for other's actions. My aunt caters to her grandson constantly. He is 21 years old; and for the fifth time, has started a new job. My parents have spoiled me, but not to this extent. If he decides to quit,  she will believe that is fine. Personally, I think he has no future. He does NOT want to accomplish anything in his life. Why would he? He lives in a nice home, goes as he pleases, and has money on demand. So my question is: "Why does a "sorry" person get life handed to them on a silver plater?" Then, I stop and think. I know that my hard work is worth all of the sleepless nights; so I keep on trucking while he is sleep in bed.

Snooki's Shocker

It finally happened. Snooki is pregnant! I can't believe she made it this long. I'm not going to lie, I am a fan of Jersey Shore. I watch it every week.

After hearing the news of her pregnancy, I can't help but to wonder what will happen to the show. Things will not be the same, for "shore". Along with wondering about the future of the show, I also wonder who is really the father. I know this is stupid, but Jersey Shore is one of the few shows I watch.

I couldn't think of anything to write about so here it is.

The months to come are definitely going to be interesting.

Blue Lake Ebarb (Noble), LA 71462

Blue Lake is said to be evil. Way too often I have seen $60,000 or more trucks get the motor blown-up, axles broken, tires busted, relationships tested, paychecks spent, and just about any man-made machine get stuck. It is not uncommon to need the services of a wrecker when a good friend can't help pull you out.

 Recently, my friends and I went out there to have some fun. We were in my friend Shana's new Lexus ES 350. Stupidly, she deceided to drive along the bank to meet someone to get our clothes to change into. She ran over a root and pulled a something off of the front bumper of her car! She was sick! I couldn't help but to laugh.

 I guess Blue Lake struck again. Despite the rough start, we still had fun. Everyone was safe and rode well into the night.

 Who would have ever thought that mud could be so fun? Toledo Bend makes our world go round: from fishing and mudding, to keeping the lights on. I can honestly say that I am ready to go and play again. Tomorrow should be good!

The Pain to Recover

This summer I hurt my back. I have been ignoring the pain. Recently, the pain has gotten worse, so I have decided to find out what the problem is. Friday morning I went for a MRI. I did not know what I was in for. I was placed in a coffin-like device for an hour and fifteen minutes. This experience was not fun. As I lay there, I was thinking, "I sure hope they find the problem because, I’m miserable". There was constant roaring in the small tunnel I was laying in. It was the longest hour and fifteen minutes of my life.

It's behind you!!!

I recently looked around and received a wake-up call. I did not realize how fast my life moves. On a typical day; I handle task for our family business, do school work, and maintain our property. It is very demanding and challenging. At times, I wish that I could stay home and do as I pleased. But, I know that if I am not on a strict schedule, I will not get anything done. I have to stay busy at all times. My lifestyle leaves me out social scene sometimes. I feel that I am leaving behind some of my "friends" that aren't as self-driven. I want the best in life, and I know what it takes to get it. Occasionally, I get to enjoy the fruits of my labor. These instances are rare. My stress level may be high, but that keeps me rolling!

Yesterday was the day!

As I was getting dressed for church this morning, I realized that I failed to post my blog yesterday. That being said: I figured that I better do so a.s.a.p. My name is Zachery (Zach) Faircloth. I live in Zwolle, LA; about one hour south of Shreveport. This is the type of town where everyone knows you and your business. I have lived here all of my life with my entire family nearby. Every trip to town brings run-ins with someone that you know. It is a pleasant place to live; the people tend to be a little nosey.

This is my second semester at LSUS. I am a General Business major with a concentration in Human Resources. I am the first member in my immediate family to attend a four-year university. My father is in the Logging Industry. I have seen him work hard all of his life. He has provided well for his family but, it has been hard work. Seeing him live like this made me want an "easier" career. I am sure that I will have another successful semester if I stay committed. Besides this late post, it should be smooth sailing.

Good luck to everyone!
