Breaking Off! "Where do you find your heart?"

    So after some time to think about this I think that I will be working more on my dreams rather than on things that are platonic. This blog will continue on my own schedule, I am not sure when that will be yet but stay tuned because I will be posting. Anyways now that that is out of the way, this weeks discussion is a question that has bugged me for some time now. Where do you find your "heart?" Now I don't mean your organ, I mean where do you find what things mean to you?

    It is funny, because people say things like, "You mean everything to me..." How can any one person or thing mean "everything" to someone? If they truly meant everything then they would be both good and bad. But all of that is besides the point. Back on topic, when you think of finding your heart you think of finding who you are as a person and who you want to be, and what feels right to you. Now when I was asked this question I thought about it so much that it made me kind of sad. It is hard to explain but when you are young and you are stuck in this crowd of not knowing who you are or where you are going, it can be very scary. Growing up is one of the scariest things a person can go through. You think about how things can go wrong, then you feel things begin to slip through your fingers and finally you feel like it is coming to and end. It is all quite depressing really. But we as humans never stop to think, "What if everything turns out right?" We are always asking, "What if it doesn't work, then what?" Well I know from experience that some things come and some things go and before you know it you are lost again. But the best way to fight that darkness and stress you feel building is to use "light". Now again i don't mean in a literal since, think figuratively. If you are in a dark room, how do you combat the darkness? That's right, you turn on the lights. Some lights are dimmer than others and some are way brighter, but a light cuts through the darkness none the less.

    Now let me put it to you this way, You are feeling down because something didn't quite go your way, either you wanted something good to happen and it didn't or something like that. How do you get out of that rut? You do something else. People are always so focused on one thing! "It has to be this way, or no way," That way of thinking is quite sad. If you only see half of a picture then you are missing out. Never view a situation as being "the only way" because 9 times out of 10 there are 100 other ways to go about it. For example, in high school I had a friend who had dating problems; she would be with a guy for a while and think, "Oh it must be love, this will last forever, and if it doesn't then life is over," It is kind of sad, but it happens so often in young women. Anyways this girl always ended up getting dumped because she was kind of clingy, and each time it was "the end of the world," but then she would rebound and the cycle would restart. But the thing is, "If you always do, what you always did, then you will always get what you always got." This is very true. She did the same thing over and over again, and wondered why she always got the same results.

    The moral of this is, if you are every feeling like you are stuck in a rut, do something else. Obviously doing the same thing is going to get you nowhere. Now I am sure you are sitting here wondering what all of this has to do with finding your "heart", right? Well, honestly it has everything to do with it. Allow me to explain. To find your heart you must first know yourself. Knowing who you are, what you want to be, and what you consider right or wrong, should always be your first step. Next you will need to find a method that works for you. There are many types of people in this world, all you have to do is look in the mirror and find what type you are. Never be ashamed to show people that you are you. They can't judge you without judging themselves. "If they know you, like you know you, then they themselves are like you, and ergo can't judge anything!"I will be the first to tell you, I am a guy who holds stuff back, I hide how I am feeling, I don't share things, I am afraid to hurt people's feelings, I am very complacent with just doing nothing, manual labor is not something I see myself doing, and I am quite lazy; but all in all, I am proud of myself, because when I look back I see a person who has already exceeded every one's expectations for me. I still will go for my goals but I need to slow down a bit, I feel like I need to rush for some reason. Anyways the final step to finding your heart is to appreciate the other side. Compassion for something that you don't believe in is the greatest thing. To show that you have enough moral passion to even care about something that some one believes in is amazing. Never take one side, remain neutral, even if the argument is stupid. Always look for new knowledge, never make a decision without all of the facts, and sooner or later you will find your heart.

    I have not found mine yet, but I am working on it, I promise here and now to never take one side over the other, and to have compassion for both answers, whether true or false; because depending on where you are standing in the world(argument) the view is quite different! Thank you guys for reading. I hope you guys have a great day!

Apple or Android? Mac or PC?

Believe it or not that is a hard question.

I have an iPhone (Apple), an (Android) tablet, and a Compaq laptop, so I'm all mixed up. I'm not a particular fan of my iPhone, but it was a Christmas present, so I'm stuck with it for another year and a half, but I will tell you my next one will not be an iPhone. I'm satisfied with my tablet, occasionally it makes me mad, but for the most part I'm satisfied. My laptop I love, I had the choice of whatever laptop I wanted, and I choose this one because it was similar to my previous one and it as simple to use. Jonathan has a mac book, I didn't like it.

So I really can't answer that question, aside from the fact I'm not a big apple or mac fan. I'm good with android and PC.

So what about you, what do you prefer? Let us know via twitter @AllisonKClark88 and @TheofficialJCC you can also shoot us a topic for next week's blog there too! Have a fantastic week!

Apple or Android? Mac or PC?

      I do not own this picture! All rights are reserved by OSXDaily.com! Thank You.

  So I have been asked this question many times. Are you an Apple Inc. person or are you for the other side? Well in my opinion neither is actually better than the other, it really just comes down to personal preference and what you find the best. When I got the first I-Phone I thought it was complete crap. But I hated my android phone more than anything, it was buggy and froze a metric shit-ton. Now Since I got the I-Phone 4s a while back, I do not think that I will ever have another phone that isn't an I-Phone, unless Apple Inc. really screws up big time. I have had absolutely no problems with my I-Phone, though I know some people who have had a ton of problems. So for me it's I-Phone all the way on this one.

    Now as for the Mac vs PC one I will get into a tad more detail as to my answer. I absolutely love my MacBook, and I used a Mac in my graphics design class and it was the best computer ever but only for work purposes. My Mac absolutely tanks at gaming which sucks. This is where I also love PCs because they are way more stable with gaming software. So for this one I would have to say I love both. I love my Mac for busy work and YouTube but I love PCs for gaming!

    Let me know what you think, Are you Mac or PC? Do you prefer Android or I-Phone? Let me know on Twitter. Tweet me @TheOfficialJCC! Have a Great week guys, and if you get bored you can go check out the other blog page, http://ramblingsbyakcjcc.blogspot.com!

Do you miss being in school?

    I also am one who loved school, I was in the popular group at my old high school and not too bad off at college either. I graduated high school in 2011 but I am still in college. Some things came up and I had to take this year off of college and I was just talking the other day about how I wish I had homework to do because that always made me stand out in class. I was the over achiever that always tried my absolute hardest to get things done and done perfectly. No one in my family has ever actually gone to college and gotten a degree that helped them get a job so I want to be different. I am going to school for Mediation/ Arbitration/ and Litigation so that I can be exactly where I want and maybe some day join the CIA as an Intelligence Agent. So do I miss school? Yes, because every year I take off, feels like a year that I am going backwards away from my goal and not towards it. It is crazy I know but I always loved school.

Do you miss being in school?

As the first day of school approaches fast, I keep thinking about being back in school, weather it be high school or college. As I was walking through the back to school section at Wal-Mart, which by the way is the best time to buy office supplies, I realized how much I actually miss school. You know when we were in school we couldn't wait to grow up and get out, WE WERE CRAZY, what were we thinking!!!!!!!!!! Being an adult sucks right now, I want to go back to a simpler time when there wasn't as much responsibility involved. I miss being in school, of course I am thinking about going back to get a higher degree, however it will be doing it online as not to interfere with my working, you know there aren't a lot of things that I regret, however not going away to college is probably one of the things I do regret. I so miss being in school, some of you may think I'm crazy, I always loved school and learning, as a matter of fact I am still learning with my job so I do enjoy my job, but I still miss being in school. Those of you still in school thinking I'm nuts, in a few years you will see what I mean, I've been out of high school for 7 years and out of college for almost a year, I truly miss it.


So what do you think? Do you miss being in school? Let us know via twitter, @AllisonKClark88 and @TheOfficialJCC you can also tweet us a new topic for next weeks blog.

What was the best video game, movie, and song of 2012?

This is a very good topic...

I don't play many video games, however I am totally addicted to The Sims 3, I spent over a hundred hours in one month playing it!

 

 

I have gotten in the habit of not going to the theater because the price isn't worth it. I will watch the movie once it come out on DVD or to Netflix.

 

I would have to say that "The Lucky One" would have been one of the best, of course I'm a huge Nichols Sparks fan.

 

I lied I did go see Magic Mike in theaters but I didn't pay for it, it was my birthday present from my step mom.

 

 

As I have grown so has my musical taste. I would have to say my favorite song of 2012 was "Blown Away" by Carrie Underwood

What do you think? Let us know via twitter @AllisonKClark88 or @TheOfficialJCC also let us know if you have a question that you want answered in a future blog.

What was the best video game, movie, and song of 2012?

    This question came to me from one of my twitter followers: "In your opinion, what was the best video game you played in 2012, or the best movie you watched, or the best song. None of these have to have been created in 2012 they just have to be significant to you in 2012. Thanks for answering, if you do."

    This is a great question and instead of answering one part of it I will answer all three. Allow me to start with the video game I spent the most hours on during 2012, and that would be Saints Row: The Third! I loved the art style, since I have never played any of the other Saints Row games, I do not know much about them. I also loved the story and the ability to go anywhere in the city and just blow crap up or slap a pedestrian with a big purple dildo on a baseball bat. The game was absolutely amazing. Not to say that there weren't other games that I enjoyed. Moving right along.

    For me 2012 was an overall disappointing year. Some great movies fell through my radar because they weren't advertised properly. And yet some movies were over-hyped and raised my expectations and then completely sucked! Some of my top picks of movies in 2012 were: The Hunger Games, DREDD, Ted, Prometheus, Brave, The Hobbit, The Avengers, Life of PI, and The Dark Knight Rises. That is not to say that all of the others sucked. As I stated I didn't see many of them because some of them were not advertised well enough for me to go see them. One movie I did go see, that I didn't like that much was 007: SkyFall, I was hyped big time for this movie but it was such a let down, to me anyways.

    My favorite song of 2012 would have to be "People Like Us" by Kelly Clarkson. I loved any song by Katy Perry also, but "People Like Us" was such a great message that I could hold on to.

Is there a need to lose weight?

    Well, like Allison, I am also rather on the big side. Almost everyone in our family is, but lets not check that one to genetics because its more than likely not. I am 6 foot 5 inches, or 167.64 cm tall, and weight 205 pounds or about 93 kilograms. Now to look at these numbers their doesn't appear to be any problem, in fact my doctor and personal trainer told me that my weight was the perfect amount for someone my age and my height. However; my BMI (Body Mass Index) clearly shows that I have for fat weight than muscle weight.
    So is there a need to lose weight? My answer is also no, but mine is because I need to change fat weight into muscle weight, and since muscle weights more than fat, I am going to gain wait more than likely. Either way there is a difference between being heavy and being obese. There are a ton of factors that go in to this, to be truly healthy being obese is not the way to go. What you see on the outside isn't what you need to worry about its all of the stuff on the inside. Glucose, Triglycerides, Fatty Acids, these are all things that are effected by being heavier than your body structure can handle. Also if fatty acids build up around your heart you will more than likely have a blood clot.
    I am not saying that it is bad to be obese, I have been big almost my entire life, but it isn't good for your physical health as well as your mental health. Being made fun of as a kid I know what it is like to be called a name because of your weight. After years of self esteem issues I learned a few things. One thing I learned was that if you didn't fit to the perfect little mold, then it didn't matter what you would look like, you would be made fun of. And I also learned that while words do hurt, they are just words, and you should not let those words get to you. You are you for a reason. JUST BE YOU!

Have a Great week! If you have any questions or comments tweet me @TheOfficialJCC on twitter!

Is there a need to loose weight?

I got this idea from a story I read on Yahoo! I am a big girl, those of you that know me know this, you also know that I have always been this way, I think there is a difference between being skinny and being healthy. I honestly don't think that you need to loose weight if you are in good health. By good health I mean no diabetes or high blood pressure. Weight is just a number, if your other numbers aren't being affected by this number, I don't believe their is a need to change it. Now wanting to change it or having to change it is a different story, but just changing it to appease someone else isn't worth it. If you are healthy, and happy with the way you look, that is all that matters.

Here is the link to the story: http://shine.yahoo.com/love-sex/girlfriend-weighs-more-170300690.html

I think I need a guy like the one in this story. I fully support this couple and I hope that after reading the story you will too.
