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.

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 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.

    I do not own the rights to any of these pictures or meanings held within them, All rights belong to their respective owners, Thank You. Have a question you would like to see answered? Tweet us on twitter @TheOfficialJCC or @AllisonKClark88! Have a Great day and see you guys next time!

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.

Where are you storing your cell/smart phone? Could it be dangerous to your health?



 

This was a great topic Jonathan, my step mom sent me this video on facebook because I had a bad habit when I was in college to stick my phone in my bra. I am glad I stopped, espically after reading Jonathan's post and seeing this video. I stopped sticking my phone in my bra wen I got an iPhone, mainly because unless it is its case, since the phone is made of glass it doesn't stay put. I hope you stop putting your phone anywhere that it can harm you. Mine is either laying on my desk or in my purse. All women need to watch this video especially if this is a bad habit that you have.

 

 

 

 

 

Where are you storing your cell/smart phone? Could it be dangerous to your health?

First let me start by saying that We are officially going back to our original schedule, now that I am back from New York. I was going to blog from there but I did not have a reliable Internet source. Anyways the trip wasn't that great for me. But moving on to this weeks topic.

A recent collaborative study done by the Harvard Science Center, in America, and the University of Bristol Science Center, in the UK, showed that even though cell phones do not cause cancer directly, like it had believed to do before, they can still cause harm to many parts of your body. Cell phone emit radio wave that go directly into your body, when you use them. Each phone releases a different amount of these waves, called a SAR, or Specific Absorption Rate. 

If you use your cell/smart phone as a regular phone that you put up to your ear to talk, then you may want to put that phone on speaker and place it away from your body, the radio waves that are emitted during a cell phone call are quite a bit higher than when it is idle. The best way to counter this effectively is to hold the phone away from your head, or go hands free, not with a head set though because it releases the same radiation as the cell/smart phone. 

Women, if you keep your cell/smart phone in your bra, be careful because that can cause lumps to form due to the radio waves and those lumps can be cancerous. It doesn't seem to be a direct cause but it makes it a ton more likely for you to get breast cancer, so please be careful, after all you have pockets. 

Men, I am not sure why you would, but do not put your cell phones in your lap or down your pants, if you do, then you are about 15% more likely to get testicular cancer than a man who doesn't. But that is not all that it does, if you plan on having kids both men and women need to keep their, cell/smart phone away from their private areas, because it decreases your fertility rating by up to 50%. that is huge!

There are a few ways to counter these radio waves, one good way is, to store your phone away from your body, like in a pocket or purse. When you get a call do not put the phone up to your ear, and do not wear a head set, put it on speaker and hold it away from your head. Keep all SAR devices away from any private parts of your bodies, and lastly check out the SAR ratings on your individual phones before purchasing, some have less SAR ratings. I am not saying to stop using your phone, I could never go without my phone, but please be careful, radio waves going into the body is not a natural thing and could cause problems down the line. Thank you for reading, if you have a question that you would like to have answered please feel free to leave a comment or tweet us on twitter @theofficialjcc or @allisonkclark88. Have a great week guys and girls!
