NAKED OLD MAN N' CONSTRUCTION WORKERS ON A MONDAY MORNING

CREEPY OLD MAN


Today is Monday. Mondays suck... Nothing to do but work.
mind boddling, sit on your ass work.
Except Kate, Joni, and I went out on a "field trip" thats how Joni our awesome chofer called it. She took us out by Sunny Isles to find some scuba boats for me and some construction buildings for Kate. Well boats are a little bit harder to find then actual buildings for the reason that they actually... uh leave! Duhhh. the only boat we found was one of a fisherman and it was GROSSS, he was cutting up fish and their were a whole buncha flies over it, ehh barf yuck!
next interesting thing that happened on our "field trip" was when we gave up on me and went to the construction site. While taking photos a truck comes with the most unusal beeps. First it sounded like a YIPEEE and then there was a racetrack get ready and horses galloping. They were trying to call our attention. Then after we headed for some more in work. We parked by a motel and yes guess wat we saw a nude old man, yes BUTT NAKED. Thankfully our innocent eyes just saw the butt. While we were taking photos there was a construction man posing for us everywhere we went with his motor bike patriotic cap and his legs wide apart... hmm lovely site... notttt. I won't forget to mention the whistlers, they were construction workers too. Now I'm back UJW@FIU woot woot n' sitting on my butt writing because i love writing about the killer sea weed all day. :)
P.S: these construction workers were no CONO CARAJO =D

REPORTING ON THE WEED!

REPORTING ON THE WEED

STATISTICS ON CORAL REEFS AND THEIR KILLER
AKA BAD SEA WEED, CAULERPA BRACHYPUS, CAULERPA VERTISILADA …

1. Coral Reefs only cover one percent of the ocean floor but still support about 25% of all marine life.
2. Coral Reefs have been around since the Ice Age, yet it has only taken the last 20 years to wipe out 97% of the reefs in the Caribbean and Florida Keys
3. Coral Reefs are the home to over 700 species of coral, 4,000 species of fish and thousands of plants and animals
4. Pollution is found to be the leading cause of global coral reef deprivation, by the year 2020 coral reefs may be gone if it continues.
5. Studies shows 60% of the world’s reefs have complete damage or are severely hurt.
6. The Algae invader is covering about 90% or more of the ocean bottom.
7. They provide us with food, income and pharmaceutical jobs. In Palm Beach County alone annual revenues are as much as $200 million dollars and 6,300 jobs.
8. Plant officials have told the Department of Environmental Protection the cost of alternative waste-water treatment or disposal methods would cost from $25 million to $30 million.
9. Killer Weed is reaching 20 to 70 feet of sponges and soft corals such as sea whips and sea sponges
10. There are 80 countries and geographical locations with coral reefs

Morning Moments =) (pretty funny)

My 2nd day @ UJW...
My day started last night when I went to sleep around 2... Usually I go to bed later but I know I need to get my sleep for this workshop because Dr. Fred Blevens kinda intimidates me and when I don't sleep I'm more of a wreck. I kinda spaz if I don't sleep. Another things is I need to be active, I'm use to running 13 miles a day, so sitting on my butt all day writing about and investigating upon a "killer" sea weed was going to definitly be a difficult task to complete. So at 2 am in the morning I decided I would wake up at 4:30 to do my usual run (yes 13 miles) The alarm rang to the famous ring tone "Im Gonna Buy You a Drank". I was like eh I'll get up in 5 minutes I'm tired later. Sure.... this was not gonna workout. I woke up at 6:30! I freaked out and was like "Ay dios mio!" So I got dressed, brush my teeth, ran out the door, picked up Emma and Grace in Don Pan all in about 12 minutes. Oh yes this was the proudest moment I've had all summer except for the fact that my hair was a mess and that I was going to be spazzing all day because I didn't get my run in this morning. But other than that I felt pretty good. I'm running on time I'm gonna get to the workshop on time. I am good... until I took the wrong turn, ended up in a neighborhood I did not recognize at all. I saw an old skinny biker man pass by but he didn't look like the best guy to ask for directions because he's riding a bike and didn't look like he owned anything else but that. So at the top of my head I was like hmm should I tell Grace and Emma I'm lost. I decided I should probably do the opposite thing I was thinking and that was tell them. Grace was "Oh my God" and i was like I know lol. Then thankfully we saw these two old ladies walking. They seemed pretty safe to ask. I mean what can two old ladies do? The worst scenario is they turn into mini Yoda's and take my car. So I went for it and we got back on track. Oh yes I got to the workshop and we were able to pass by Starbucks before it too! Once again I felt good :) I call myself the PIMP stands for Professional In Moment Problems (yes just made that up) This is how I get through in life by the moments... So just remember, "Live Every Moment as if It were your Last!"

Eh que Barea?

Hi my name is Christina Barea and um this is my first blog woot woot. Hmm... Ok so my first day at UJW was interesting. I learned my name isn't very common from the cafeteria lady... She was like "Bueno, eh tu nombre no es comun mas problamente no debio ser Barea, no es un nombre se equivocaron cuando naciste." To all the non-speaking spanish people pretty much she said they messed up in naming me when I was born, I felt very enlightened after this moment knowing that I was a mistake, at least on paper, and my sisters say I was found behind a dumpster and I don't have a family. Which don't get me wrong I appreciate because I would rather be not from the same blood as my family. (jeje sorta kidding... not really) Well I'm pretty excited about this blog because its like cool. I like doing new things, thats one of the reason why I was like hmm UJW@FIU program ok perhaps maybe sounds good, exciting... urban journalism. Urban? I wonder what they mean by that lol? I guess I'll become urbanized here. Thats it for now...
