Geocaching Story

So I have recently started treasure hunting, or geocaching to be technical. It's fun! I plan to continue to do this and one day set a geocache of my own! I set out tonight on an adventure and found myself with 2 hopeful finds and 1 unsuccessful attempt. Here is the story:

Today I made 2 official cache finds and 1 unsuccessful. The last one was unsuccessful because the sun was completely down and was too dark for me to see. I ended up walking into a spider web (cut it out you Gwen Stefani lovers) and had a huge spider right on my hat. No worries, I flicked it off folks! I will be trying this one again tomorrow!

To be continued...

Staying True Seems Unreal

In today's society, is it ever possible for people to stay true to one another? It seems like everywhere I go, I hear a new story of how someone has cheated on his/her significant other, whether currently married, in a relationship, or soon to be married.

Is cheating on your significant other something of new to today's age, or is this something that has taken place for years? I would like to read some stories of the past dealing with these types of issues. Perhaps this would help put my mind at ease. Perhaps I could feel a little less disappointed in today's society knowing that this isn't just some new trend.

Why do people cheat? Do they do it to intentionally hurt the other person? I would like to think not. I think people cheat for a few reasons: a) they are hurt/not happy with the person with whom they share a relationship with; b) they just have not found the right person for them; and c) a combo of both. Why not just break up with the person? I think it may be a little more complicated than that. See, it's easier to cheat on someone else than go through the drama of breaking up with someone. This is not to say that all people are cheating on each other, but rather to suggest that this activity is going on amongst some of the masses. What people may fail to realize is that perhaps the aspect of breaking up with someone may eventually be the easiest option so that you are not only saving the other person from hurt, but you are also saving yourself the trouble and pain. I say this to all: just break up with the person! Quit cheating! Easier said than done, right?

The reason I am bantering about this is because today at work, I found out another girl there had cheated on her boyfriend with another guy that we work with. This isn't the first time I've heard this and I'm not saying which party is worse off for this, but I'm just tired of "girls" feeling the need to cheat on their boyfriends and guys cheating on their girlfriends all of the time; it's absolutely absurd. It also makes me angry that this guy I work with sleeps with everyone there!! This is twice in one month that this kid has slept with someone there that is in a relationship or is soon to be married; what gives?? Are these girls super insecure with themselves, or are they just looking for a cheap thrill? I just can't come to understand what is wrong with them. It makes me sick to my stomach that not only is he sleeping with multiple people, who are in relationships, but the fact that there are girls so insecure with themselves that they would come to do this. I'm tired of it and it honestly makes me never want to date anyone in this country; it's disgusting and makes me not want to trust anyone.

Now, as for those girls, I have no idea what their relationships are like (ie good or bad). Either way, does it make it right for them to do this? How do you justify this? Furthermore, how do you stay in the relationship knowing you have done this to your significant other that you supposedly love unconditionally? Is there no shame? Is there no guilt? If you're not happy with the person you're with, or you need more action in your life, then join a whorehouse or something.

Now I am all stirred up and my feathers are in a ruffle!

Good day...

An Irish Tale of a Leprechaun


Leprechauns are small Irish fairies known as self-appointed guardians of ancient treasure. It is said they bury the treasure in pots located at the end of the rainbow. If caught by mortals he promises you his treasures.

He also carries two pouches. In one he has a silver coin that is magical and returns to his pouch each time it is paid out. In the other pouch there is a gold coin. He uses this coin to bribe his way out of captivity. This coin usually turns to leaves or ashes once he has left. But remember! Never take your eyes off of the Leprechaun for he will disappear in an instant.
