Cindy - is the nickname my parents gave me. The etymology of this nickname has been lost to time and forgetfulness. There are theories linking it to the singer/artiste Cyndi Lauper, or the theory that i may someday have resemblance to Cindy Crawford thus the same ‘maiden’ initials we both have…lol.
In my house there is my husband, whom I mentioned and shown in my pics and random thoughts on my blog, Alex Williams. There is my oldest son Anthony, daughter Alexy and my youngest boy Andrew. I blog about them from time to time, the same parenting adventure.
There is also stuff on tv, a few work-related incidence and a connection to the internet which if removed will cause us all to go insane. I usually blog about those too. And if necessary for my health and general well-being, I blog about my routine experiences and the city I live in now, Weimar. To summarize, just about everything that is really happening in my countrified yet, blessed life….
I was off yesterday and today is my last day to enjoy and relax n spend some time with family. Spring’s starting to show and I believe it won’t be too long for summer…I’m not ready for it, I don’t like heat wave. Tonight, its a little cool 54, sunny and the sky is clear
…It stormed yesterday early morning 1 o’clock am–pushing some of the cool front to the south…it feels nice actually and today we only got up to about 77 or 78 and the breeze was very refreshing, I didn’t need to turn up the airconditioner in the car, I just let the windows down. I took the kids with me to the park today as a result.
The Avatar is the incarnation of the Spirit of the Planet in human form.
There is only one Avatar, who reincarnates himself through the centuries. Each time the Avatar dies it is reborn into the next nation. This successive cycle mirrors the order of the seasons:
Water Tribes - winter
Earth Kingdom - spring
Fire Nation - summer
Air Nomads - autumn
The cycle provides a natural balance between the elements. This way, no single nation can grow stronger than another.
Upon the death of an Avatar, Bending masters from the successive nation conduct a search to find the child reincarnate. (The successor is expected to show signs of continuity with the one who died, such as being born within a week of the death.) These Benders carefully train the new Avatar to prepare him for his high position. First, he becomes proficient with his native element. Then, when the Avatar reaches maturity, he travels the world and studies with Masters from the other three Bending disciplines. Upon completion of his training, the Avatar possesses sole control of all four elements.
And so, the nations work to nurture the Avatar, whose responsibility it is to keep Water, Earth, Fire, and Air in harmony with each other and the world.
The proud, strong spirit of the Earth Kingdom embodies Earthbending, which uses the ground as a weapon against an opponent. Exceptionally muscular, Earthbenders use their strength to overpower opponents. To throw an enemy off balance, an Earthbender physically strikes the ground with his hands or feet, causing localized earthquakes. To dodge an attack, an Earthbender uses the earth as a catapult to buck his body high into the air, and then upon returning to the ground, he softens the earth, easing his landing. Additional moves include creating fissures as traps for enemies to fall in, and raising slabs of stone for defense and offense. An Earthbender attacks by levitating stones and then propelling them at his enemy. Earthbenders also possess the ability to ‘magnetize’ their limbs to stone, allowing them to scale shear walls and cliffs. A high level maneuver reduces solid ground to quicksand, providing a pitfall for approaching enemies. Earthbending’s most significant weakness is its inability to manipulate man-altered metals. Firebenders exploit this weakness by smelting metal to remove its natural impurities, and then using it to construct their armor, ships, and forts.
Like the moon controlling the tides, Waterbenders use their chi to control the gravitational effect on water. In contrast to Fire and Earthbending, Waterbending’s strength is its defensive capabilities. Waterbenders redirect the energy from an opponent’s attack and use it against him. But Waterbending’s intent is to control opponents, not to harm them. The style is evolved from ancient healing practices where the healer redirects energy paths in the body to cure an ailment.
A Waterbender’s control of water in liquid, solid, and gas form offers him many defensive maneuvers. He may stop an attacker by encasing his feet in ice, or escape by creating a screen of steam for cover. In a fight, a Waterbender suspends a body of water around his fighting stance, and then lashes out with water whips and powerful waves. If there’s no water at the scene of a fight, a Waterbender collects all the available moisture from the air and ground around him and concentrates it into an amount of suitable to attack and defend. As a backup, a Waterbender always carries a skin of water. While reliance on a water source is a significant weakness of the style, Waterbending at its highest skill level contains the most powerful technique among all the Bending Arts. At close ranges, an expert Waterbender uses an opponent’s body against them. They harness the ample amount of water within the human body to control an opponent like a puppet master. The tendencies to control rather than destroy, and to heal rather than harm, embody the humane and noble characteristics of the Water Tribes. 
Airbending shares Waterbending’s defensive nature and peaceful philosophies. However, it’s versatility in practice and application makes Airbending the most dynamic of the Bending Arts. Airbending allows one person to defend against multiple attackers from different disciplines - ideal for Air Nomads traveling in foreign lands. An Airbender defends with blasts of wind, and then using a variety of wind-based counterattacks, knocks his opponent off his feet.
Airebenders are faster and more mobile than any other Bender. To confuse his enemy, an Airbender constantly circles him, rapidly changing direction to cleverly evade attacks. If an Airbender is struck, he absorbs the force by blowing his body back like a feather. While Airbenders cannot fly like Peter Pan, they use wind to enhance all of their normal movements. They can run faster by decreasing air resistance; jump higher and farther by creating wind gusts that lift them and allow them to float for a few seconds; slow a long decent by forming a wind cushion; and run up walls and trees by generating a current of wind. A high level attack involves creating a fierce air vortex that sucks in an opponent, rapidly spins him around, and then spits him back out onto the ground.
An Airbender’s signature tool is his staff. Like all objects in Avatar, the staff does not possess any magical properties. However, it mechanically transforms into a small glider. To propel the glider, an Airbender controls air currents to sustain its flight over limited distances. In addition, small propeller blades extend from the top of the staff. Depending on the glider’s orientation, it rockets forward or hovers vertically like a helicopter when an Airbender thrusts wind at its blades. In its untransformed state, an Airbender uses his staff as a weapon to enhance the amount and power of his attacks and defenses.
While Airbending is the most dynamic of the Bending Arts, it lacks a deadly finishing move. This fact reflects principles of the Air Nomads, which teach that all life is precious and conflict should be avoided whenever possible.

I’m here sitting/tinkering with the computer and waiting for Alex and his cousin to finish their everlasting game of Madden 2006 PS2…its cool with me, he’s waiting for PS3….when does this end? PS4 too?….lol…. his cousin doesn’t get to come by so often in this town unless its the holidays or right now its Spring Break. He lives—hmmm…huntsville, TX…he coaches Football in High School and my hubby Alex in a little league-Weimar Wildcats (He’s the President & Head Coach)…they are Madd crazy with "Football"…it’s no wonder I have to get on him about messing with my notepads for work!….grrrr….all he writes most of the time is to come up with a playbook. I have to admit, Alex can be a great football coach, he made his little league team to the playoffs!, they could’ve won but, it was so sorry that they let the other team win out of "favoritism", I dont get it… I’ve heard it was an unfair game…Well, that’s how small town "red-neckies" are anyways….lol.
This year, they are working on building and organizing a new little league in a nearby town Schulenburg, TX (just about 9 miles away). I’m hoping they could get enough applicants before the season starts, and awiting for more sponsors and donations to get the league in the right track. Uniforms and equipment are the main issue right now.
Well, i get to have a time of my own…the kids are asleep and geez, its a little chilly. I came to check on Friendster…again. See if any of my cousins or friends are logged in…i guess not. I gotta remind Alex to finish up that Flyer/menu that he has to make for cousin Vivian, who’s selling food plates or something here in town…they still haven’t finished yet and its 11:45pm-Central time. just finished my bottle of Seagrams Coolers (Wild Berries) …lol my fave….I want another bottle…lol
O M G ! ! !….this is the…Nikki aka Hoopz from VH1’s Flavor Of Love….i never thought she was a bootylicious model until i saw this!…the sweet and innocent hoopz that i knew from Flavor of Love show…has gone Playgirl!…my question is….what’s up with her for being in Flava Flav’s show and wanting to have him as his man? I don’t know if its a fake…
…taken from this site/blog

more about her:
…"I would’ve taken my kids over at their grandpa’s but, somehow, i can’t get a hold of him…i thought maybe he might not be in the house…i called three or four times but, anyways, i took them with me to the meeting…another care plan meeting. They were very angelic-like because i told them first hand not to make any noise and i can let each one of them bring their toy but, only one." I was surprised to see my friends Kim and chica–Denise-san. They seem ok, after they called-in at the same time last Friday. I wasn’t mad, just felt weird that they didn’t make it to work "together"…although we were short that night, we manage quite alright…being short-handed is something I’m getting used to nowadays."
Still, I wish both of them doesn’t have any thoughts of leaving the facility because, they are great to work with. Especially Denise, she is sooo nice and is willing to help no matter what. I guess that’s how she is or she started drinking "Red Bull" again…lol. I wish I had her energy…I need it soo bad, I get weak and tired from time to time…maybe because I’m a lil anemic or don’t care about caffeine…
Right now, I’m listening to Mariah Carey’s "Can’t Let Go" song, from Emotions cd….reminiscing back in the days…the 90’s…lots of things happened to me…i say, wonderful things…lol. Anyways, back to the song, I still love Mariah Carey’s old songs…the Number # 1’s timeless and unforgettable.
Yesterday, about the show I mentioned below, I didn’t get to finish because i had to go to work but, Alex called me on the cell because I asked him to notify me about the results, he said, "I don’t even know why you watch that crap", I just laughed because, right before i left the house, he was really watchin’ the show…i got him tuned in…even when he had lots of bad comments about the people in the show and was mostly shaking his head as in…tsk…tsk…tsk…he told me that Flava Flav chose Niki aka Hoopz… like I said, she is attractive and fun to be around with. Really, it’s hard for me to say if she’s for real or in it for the show, hopefully there would be another "surreal life" with the two then, I might have my questions answered. Then again, I’ve read/heard in VH1’s message boards that all of them were just faking it…they just wanted exposure…anyways I’m waiting for the reunion of the past girls in the show too…especially between New York and Pumpkin!…hey, i just want to see if they really have some unfinished business to take care of!…lol.
