War In Iraq

2006-12-06T10:27:00.000-08:00

_______________________________________________________________

My biggest qualm with the War in Iraq is the futileness of it. First we want to capture the bogeymen responsible for 9/11. Next there are WMD, and then we want to stop insurgents from killing civilians, now we want to establish Democracy. The "why" keeps changing in a war with undefined goals and minimal result. Why is it SO important that Democracy reign in Iraq....Iran, Syria and every other nation in the Middle East is tribunal, dictators, monarchs- all OVER the world in fact, democracy is little more than capitalist ideology... how are we suppose to change any regime when we ourselves are a divided Republic.
What RIGHT do we have to change the ideology that has existed for thousands of years? If it is truly for want to make the world a "better place" we would be in Ethiopia and other African nations, in poor Asian and European areas. Down in Central America and Mexico- truly making change for humanitarian reasons. But there is no wealth there, no monetary or political gain to be won. Genocide, disease, hunger kill millions a day, yet we are "reaching out to Iraqis from their own welfare" even though Middle Easterners are the LEAST likely to ever want American interference. I respect and stand by my President as much as I can, I do not want another 9/11...but fear tactics in an ill conceived war are not the way to keep our nation safe. I would rather see those troops scouring the subways and borders; use intelligence that’s trying to find a cave that may or may not contain Osama- instead looking at financial records, patterns, people entering US, and watching us HERE not from abroad. We do need a strong military, but we need it protecting us, intelling us, showing our strength in front of US, not weak and foolhardy abroad. The followers of liberal leaders, screaming in protest without any idea in their head other than the person currently babbling on their soapbox of nothing real, simply utopian, impractical ideas- fuck you. To the blindly following conservative that thinks people are too stupid to see hidden agendas and preach patriotism over reality- fuck you. Politicians do NOT represent Americans; they haven't for a long time. Out with career politicians, out with PACs, and out with the money of politics, out with centralized Bureaucracy, its time to return to the Government BY the people and FOR the people. State Rights over Federal Rights, and this centralized government power must be questioned. Thomas Jefferson was a brilliant man and I will leave you with a few quotes:

An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens.
We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate.

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.

Enlighten the people, generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like spirits at the dawn of day.

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive.

Poem that came to me last night in my dream

2006-10-26T07:24:00.000-07:00

Today we sat close, my new friend and I
Both wondering, talking, trying to decide
How to explain, what God meant to us
Not even quite sure, whom we could trust
He leaned in and whispers, I know he’s inside
Both you and I, and all of mankind
I nodded and smiled, I knew he was right
I knew that the answer, was close to our sight
We sat there in silence, as time continued to pass
So close to the answer we wanted to grasp
I took a deep breath, close to despair,
The answer so close, gone in thin air
I looked all around and then up in the room
There sat a man on a cross, my head filled with doom
But his eyes were not sad, instead quite the other
They will full of compassion he felt for his brother
I turned to my friend, now understanding
It’s not about color, creed, or demanding
Our Lord came to us, in body and flesh
To show us the way that most of us missed
He came here and died, not just for believers
But for all of the fallen, lost and true seekers
Open your mind, and open your heart
Look for forgiveness at the very start
Forgiveness for yourself, you may not feel earned
And seek it with sorrow, regret, and what’s learned
Feel your heart grow, now complete and whole
his death on a cross, he died for your soul
No longer filled with sadness or dread
I looked at my friend, with tears and I said
Christ still loves me; for all that I’ve done,
Despite what I’ve said, or the people I’ve shunned
It’s never too late, to always remember
Christ is with you, if you only surrender
Give up the vices, the hate and the pride
Give up the anger, resentment inside
Suddenly my heart lifts, as I finally know
Together in life, Ill continue to grow
In spirit in body, I finally feel free
From demons and monsters, feeding off me
With God in my Spirit
With Christ in my heart,
I’m never alone
We’re never apart.

The 4th To Me

2006-07-05T19:41:00.000-07:00

What the 4th means to me has changed. Growing up, it was about family gatherings, and playing with sparklers, and scolding my brother for putting firecrackers in the dog's house. As I grew up, I realized it was about something bigger. Its about the birth of a nation that has changed the course of mankind. Its about a nation that has evolved in religion, techonology and humanity, being a forefront in human advancement. Its a foundation based on opportunity, acceptance and brotherhood. Tonight, as I reflect, I cannot seem to marvel in the beauty of our nation. Instead, I am saddened by the division of our nation and path it has taken. I hurt for every soldier that sleeps on a cold cot in a hostile nation that wishes to exterminate their loved ones. I cry that I am in constant defense of my nationality not just to foreigners, but to my neighbor. I want to claim American Pride without feeling like a racist, xenophobe elite nationalist....but I dont know my place anymore. "Made in the USA" is a tag that carries a stigmatism. I admire Canada, Australlia, so many other nations, but for some reason, to take pride in America is to disvalue other nations and that is not farther from the truth.
I guess, on this day, I want to remember our forefathers and not bastardize their intent. I want to pray for the soldiers without being condemned for not acting secular. I want to show national pride, while showing that all men should be working together for a progressive global society.
This isnt an intent to start a debate,I just need to get this off my chest. Thanks

You Have a Choleric Temperament

You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things.
Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life.
You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation.

You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon.
Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall.
You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others.

At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults.
Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion.
A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior.

What Temperment Are You?

where are you?!

Musing While Driving

2006-02-24T07:00:00.000-08:00

There is the road I drive on to work. Its a side road, but gets quite a bit of traffic. and here is why I am writing about it, its about the width of two lanes going each direction, but there is absolutely NO lines. Basically everyone that drives is torn, 50 pecent drive in the middle assuming its just a "spacious" lane (think like Kramer and when he adopted that highway) The other half of the people try to pass you by running you off the road. I dont think anyone really knows but you can tell by the way everyone looks at eachother they think they are right....me...i just hug the outside lane if they wanna pass me they can squeek by. This has kept me up at night...

Hard Candy

2006-02-18T08:00:00.000-08:00

I have been avoiding tests but its amazing how accurate a test can be from 5 questions!

Your Candy Heart Says "Get Real"

You're a bit of a cynic when it comes to love.
You don't lose your head, and hardly anyone penetrates your heart.

Your ideal Valentine's Day date: is all about the person you're seeing (with no mentions of v-day!)

Your flirting style: honest and even slightly sarcastic

What turns you off: romantic expectations and "greeting card" holidays

Why you're hot: you don't just play hard to get - you are hard to get

Just another day

Okay so my new job has kept me pretty busy, and I have had NO time to blog. *spank* Im not use to getting up at 7am and then working 830-7, thats a long day for me. I have always been a night owl and now I am going to bed at 10pm, missing my Simpsons and Cheers fix. But at least I am not a retail worker anymore. I am enjoying my job though, except its tough, because this multi-million dollar business, is me and my boss. Therefore, he's out running the projects leaving me as the accountant/secretary/exectutive assistant/debt collector. Yes....debt collector, I finally know a job worse than telemarketing. There is absolutely nothing worse then calling someone, telling them they owe you sixteen grand and that you will put a lein on their property if they don't pay up. This is an actual conversation with me and a former client:

me (as sweet as can be): Sir, I am calling about a pass due invoice you owe to *** in the amount of 6 thousand dollars. We ask that you please send a check in the mail by tomarrow to avoid collections and/or a lein on the property. (btw, I dont even know if I am using the word lein correctly, ive worked here less then two weeks :P)

Mr. Deadbeat: Scuse me? little girl, he was late in building, there was a late penalty clause, he owes ME money. What the fuck, having some fucking little girl call trying to collect money he owes ME.

me:(totally not sure if he is even talking to me anymore) Well Sir, I know nothing about that but that is not how it works, its a seperate issue. we still have the lein and unless you pay the money we will be forced to put a mechanics lein against you.

Mr Deadbeat: Fuck you, Fuck your company, go ahead and try bitch! *click*

*me staring at the phone and then flipping it off*

Yeah..that wasnt in the job description...

Why Oh Why

2006-02-07T06:39:00.000-08:00

Why oh Why can it not be OSW....I came to work, my second day on the job, and what to my wonderous eyes appears: a half full bottle of Viagra sitting on my desk. Oh my dear readers, I laughed, I cried, I quickly put the bottle in my new bosses office. As long as we avoid eye contact the next week, all will be well.

My Daily Giggle- thanks TT

Could it be.....a new post?!

2006-02-01T11:23:00.000-08:00

ok so its been...ummm over two months. So the few stalkers that have awaited my return, it has not been in vain. I have been reading everyone else's but alas have had too much going on (IE Online Poker) to write in mine. Things of note the last few months:

Visited my parents in Az and WA for a month

Got a new DAY job making double what I did at Ann Taylor

Had my heart broke and semi- mended

Bought a NEW CAR! yeah well its almost new, its a 2005 cavalier and before you make fun of me, my last car was a 1991 chevy lumina so im THRILLED

Turkey In A Bag

2005-11-24T21:44:00.000-08:00

Hope everyone had a lovely holiday and will enjoy a leisurely long weekend. I have thought up a few important reminders for everyone:

1. Be nice and patient to retail workers. Remember they work longer, shittier hours, and for about 1/4 the pay than you do.

2. Call a loved one you haven't talked to in awhile. This may be their last holiday, or yours.

3. Relax...Football is just a sport- though baseball is life.

4. Give thanks for all your years blessings and heartfelt prayers to those who are not as fortunate.

5. If your wife/mother/life partner cook- you do the dishes.

6. Turkey + three glasses of wine= long nap, allot at least 3 hours.

7. Its STILL Too early for Christmas music.

8. Instant potatoes and gravy, bakery pies, and Turkey in a bag (an awesome product you just toss in the oven without defrosting, its self basting, and timing stick pops out when done) are perfect lazy and/or novice choices to the much overrated alternative of slaving away in the kitchen for a week. - hey I had time to blog, didn't I?! :P

I know, my readers could care less about baseball...But baseball is me, and I love it. MY boys are going to the biggest thing in baseball on Sat. They kicked LA's ass, and are going to the World Series for the first time in over 45 yrs. So I will be taking this moment, to list things I love about each and every one of them ( I promise, my next post will have naked pics of me)

Podsednik: what an eye, best lead off man in baseball. Not only can you count on him to get on, with so many successful steals this last series, he is amazing.

Dye: Great arm and getting those big hits when we need them!

("musie" by mobii)

Konerko: hot hot hot! MVP for rightful reason, his bat has gave our pitchers a great lead, and he makes those plays at first with ease

Everett: the big guy, good consistant bat

Peirzynski: love him, great head on his shoulders, may have some controversial plays, but its his heads up playing that makes him especially valuable, plus, he keeps control of contreras and garcia's wild pitches.

Crede: well I would so have his baby, but also, talk about Mister clutch. HUGE homer in game 5, and clutch hit in game 4 batted over .340 in the LA series and the only one that seems to have Escobars number. Strong defense plays as well.

Uribe- waiting for his bat to come on, but phenomenal plays at short.

Iguchi- Not the best LA series, but strong defense and key in wrapping up division.

Rowand- Aaron, great outfield and some great hits. Gonna be essential in the W'S

Contreras- pitched two big games- finished game 5 himself. REMARKABLE!

Buehrle- showed why he went to the All Stars- perfect game pitching 9 innings

Garland- Pitched all nine innings too, and hot hot hot (man I love these pitchers!)

Freddy- I love Garcia, the passion, taking down the batters, Freddy was on top of his game

Jenks only had to pitch 2/3 an inning, cotts (who is gorgeous too) hasn't even been in. We don't even NEED a bullpen.

Guillen- not one change, one substitution.. cept one pinch runner against Boston....remarkable management!!!!!

They held La to a .174 avg...one of the worst in history. People can bitch about the calls, or controversy, but ask anyone who deserves to be going, no one can refute, Sox have the pitching, the clutch hits, and deserve it for their heart and character-

GO WHITE SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We Will Win Or Die Trying!!!!!!!!!

He touches her face softly
Lovingly staring into her eyes
He leans over brushing his lips to her ear
Whispering “I’ll be back soon”

Her sad eyes look back up at him
Silently pleading with him
Her mouth opens but no words come out
Thinking “Please don’t go”

He smiles at her gently
Quietly giving her strength
His heart aches with hers
Praying “She doesn’t worry”

She nods back slowly
Deeply sighing inside her soul
Her destiny entwined with his
Knowing “Our time will come”

You know you are an addict

2005-10-10T10:47:00.000-07:00

You know you are a chat addict when-

...You are having a conversation and someone says something funny and you respond by saying LOL

...You meet the new Steve at work, and think to yourself, that's not a very creative nick

...You bite your nails and curse loudly every time your router boots you

...The only way your significant other can get anything, including sex, is to instant message you

...You refresh your window hundreds of times, in hopes that SOMEONE has responded to your brilliance

...You have ever sat in front of your computer at 3am in a tee shirt and boxers, trading pics of yourself looking really hot

...your daily schedule revolves around worldwide time zones

...You are reading this when you should be doing chores, working, or looking at porn

Sox SPANK Sox

2005-10-05T04:08:00.000-07:00

Sorry BabyJewel, I know its way too early to gloat, but the way my white sox creamed the red sox last night. They deserve SOME props. Peirzenski got two homers, Pauly, Uribe, even lead off hitter Podsednik got a homerun. Contreas pitched effectively into the 8th- It was an incredible day in Chicago, well unless you are a Cubs fan. 2004 may have been a great year for the Red Sox, but 2005 is Our Sox turn. They are playing better then ever, and after sweeping Cleveland have the confidence they need to steamroll over Boston, then Yankees (probably), I think we got the confidence enough to even take it from St Louis, the only team that has played even more consistent ball then us. We have the pitching, the hitting, and the spirit to make this our year. Whatever happens, its been one helluva year for my guys! Well done!!!!!

update:
WOOHOO!! Iguchi, love you, love you, love you!!!!!!! Game two is ours, and Freddy is gonna sweep em on Friday!!

3rd Update: SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you guys!! Best Damn bestball in years!!!!!!!!! Go SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1st Annual, Semi-Irregular Bloscar Night

2005-09-28T05:09:00.000-07:00

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Bloggerland’s first, well, I’m sure its millionth, but since it’s my first, it’s the only one that counts- Academy (i.e. Academy = me + bottle of jacks) Awards Show. The winner’s tonight have managed to build and to keep their audience entertained at works, homes, and prisons everywhere. As we are short on time, and all have other porn…er sites to peruse, we shall now announce the winners.

Our first Bloscar goes to a woman that is not only beautiful, she’s hot, er I mean, smart, yes smart. Her biting humor and hot pictures keep bloggers cumming back daily: The award for Blogger most likely to make their reader’s hot, is Dirty Blonde. You go girl, come up here and show us your ti…(Commercial Break)

Our next award goes to a blogger that has been away for awhile, and this award is a plea to him, to come back and blog more often. So the award for out favorite blogger that needs to give up their real life and post more often is Pizzle. *searches audience* siiiiiiiiiiiigh

This next Bloscar goes to a personal favorite of mine, his clever titles and wittisms always have me bursting. So the award for the person most likely to excessively use the word fuck, goes to none other then, Badgod. *puts finger on censor button* come on down.

The Bloscars would be nothing, without this next award winner. She is beautiful, hilarious, and a great ass. Catering to both her male and female audience, the award for the coolest blog goes to Nameless. *innocently gropes you as you speak*

Blogerland is nothing, without inspiring friends. People that not only are there for us, but can stroke our ego as well. This next blogger, is kooky, fun, and overall a total sweetheart. The Bloscar for the sassiest girlfriend, goes to No_Puzzy_4_Ju. *high fives and a breast bump!*

We now had planned a great musical number, with a nude Catherine Zeta- Jones, but since her lawyers put an order against me to stop contacting her, we will just have to announce our next winner.

This blogger can turn anything sexual, and get me hot simply by clicking that magical URL. He is funny, intelligent, and no group bunny would be complete without him: award for sexiest Blogger is Shanshu, strut that fine stuff down her HERE I meant here…...

The creative process can be difficult, and at times overwhelming. But this winner is always able to make his readers laugh. Most creative blogging is done by none other then Debauchery. Although, we have a side bet going if he mentions his cock in his acceptance speech...any takers?

This next blogger is a personal favorite of mine. I think the name of this award, speaks for itself: Blogger most likely to call the Bloascar a right-wing conservative farce, stealing funds from the people to fund an illegal war, is Michael Moore…oh wait, no I don’t know him…so it would have to be Crall. Come on dow---er one moment folks, I am getting a call…*pause* …..
Sorry Bush wanted me to not honor you today, DAMN THAT BUSH!

As we are running short on time, I will list the other winners, then go straight to our, BEST BLOGGER award.

Best up and coming Blogger: BabyJewel
Blogger most likely to end up in a straight jacket: MonkeyBite
Friendliest Blogger: Randi
Favorite ranting Blogger: Sam
Biggest heart Blogger: Heather
Blogger I most have to meet: ConfuzedforLife
Nicest Blogger: ERL
Blogger that always makes me feel: Justin
Sexiest geek Blogger: Danius

Finally, our biggest award of the night out there, goes to a woman who writing is not only funny and hot, it’s enlightening as well. Coming up with new and interesting posts, and hilarious titles, she is always amusing and heartfelt, there is no other person who deserves the Bloscar for Best Blog: HMH. I love you girl, and you deserve it! *Standing Ovation*

Well this concludes Bloggerlands First Annual Academy Awards Show. Please direct any complaints to a mister Jack Daniels, he will be more then happy to say, kiss my ass! Til next time, see you in Bloggerland!

*note, all bloggers have links to the right, check them out if you haven't already!*

Soul Mate
by Orpheus

we meet on the street
my true love and i
by chance or by fate
i cannot decide
but there's another not me at her side
i know the moment her eyes lock with mine
i've gone through my life
ignorant and blind
the taste on my lips of water not wine
i've known love before in some other time
before she is gone i see in her eye a thousand,
thousand lives shared,
she and i cannot despair
i know in my heart
together at times
but never apart
she's one of my dreams
my soul's other part

Breasts not Bombs

2005-09-23T08:53:00.000-07:00

Breasts not Bombs, is a demonstration that will be making its way to Washington this weekend. As you can tell by this picture, it is basically unwashed, hairy women and men that have their testicles cut off by a "liberated woman" parading around naked in hopes of drawing more attention to their cause. And why not, its worked for a large number of animal rights activists. I listened to one of the leaders of this demonstration on the radio on my way to work yesterday. Essentially her stance was (now, think of me saying this slowly and "valley-girl" toned): "women should be able to feel safe walking with their breasts exposed, we believe that peace should exist all over the world, without guns or war" Big surprise, the anti-war movements favorite spokesmom, Cindy Sheehan, is also going to be part of this demonstration. (please to God tell me she is keeping on her clothes) Now, any educated person knows, that in the history of the world, there has been maybe 40 yrs, where war has not existed. I do not know what Utopia these people think we live in, but we cannot send peacemakers in and hope "war issues" are solved. Take this time now, to google "peacekeepers killed" for a moment...hmmm did you also come up with thousands of cases? How do you sit down at a table and talk with someone, that is willing to blow up children and mothers because they feel it is their mission from God. And how do you compromise? Americans are evil because they are Capitalists and non-Muslim. I suppose we could TRY to negotiate those terms. Would you negotiate with Hitler? Its about the Ethnic extermination of millions of people that are different from themselves, ALL OVER the world. Please Cindy Sheehan, go in and talk to these people, don't be shocked though, when you go in to negotiate with your "misunderstood enemy" and he has a bomb strapped to himself. Soldiers are not there, blowing up babies and mothers. They are there, giving children school supplies and toys and food. A regime was removed, insurgents are pissed. The Iraqi people, the ones trying to go to school, get jobs, and vote in democratic elections, are grateful our soldiers are there risking their lives, so that they have a chance at freedom we have the opportunity to enjoy every day. So have your protest, and feel like you are really accomplishing something, but know this: the real accomplishments are being made by people taking REAL action, REAL risks, and those people are our soldiers.
One of my new friends in Iraq said this when I told him I was worried about him: "Don't worry about me, I am a soldier. I do this, so you don't have to live in fear or worry".
Maybe Ms. Sheehan should work a little harder on preserving her son's memory. Her son believed in what he did, in keeping America safe and establishing democracy in the world where there was none. God Bless him and every soldier out there. Please come home soon, but every last breath of mine, will support you until you do.

**note** I know several of my friends, are very liberal, and feel differently then I do, which I respect and appreciate. If anyone comments, please refrain from personally attacking eachother or me.

Okay, this is hilarious!

but on a serious note:

It has been hard for me to post lately. Not so much because I have nothing to talk about, but rather, I am gathering my thoughts. It is so hard for me to talk about the hurricane, because for me, there is a lot of self- reflection, facing my own hypocrisies as well as bigotries. One part of me, gets so angry about it. Angry at the dependent, whinny people that couldn't take care of themselves and their children. Who were not able to heed warning that a " level 5 hurricane" was headed for them;they should either have left or at least gotten supplies. Angry at the governor and mayor, who rather play partisan blame games, than help their city. They spent millions of "levee money" on parks, helicopters, and vacations, not working on it in decades, knowing that it couldn't even stand a level 3 hurricane. They also had 1200 buses they could have used to get people out of there, but they didn't have "enough drivers"- yet still somehow had enough drivers to take thousands of them to vote for Kerry during election time. Angry at Bush and Hillary, and every other politician that is looking out for his or her own political agenda rather than helping people. I'm angry at the looters, rapists, and every other degenerate in society that takes advantage of people at a weakened time. I'm angry at Hollywood for using it as their own political platform and chance to propagate their self-righteous bullshit. Angry at every Tom, Dick, and Harry, that uses this as a chance to attack Bush or the War, it has to do with neither, but somehow, through spin and rhetoric is comes down to the "conservatives' fault". I am mostly angry though, at myself, for being so angry and hateful. I see hungry children, people that lost everything, heroes risking their lives, and my heart breaks. For every sicko that rapes a little girl, or crackhead that kills someone over a 2,000 debit card, there are hundreds of people, praying that we don't judge them on the actions of a minority of people. For every moronic celebrity that says something like "America doesn't care about black people" I must remember, there are thousands of others counting on our care and generosity. At this point, I need to ignore the people causing the hate in my head, and reflect instead, on my own heart. My own belief in the golden rule and karma, and knowing that it is not my job to judge and establish cosmic balance. I cannot control what other say and do, nor how they feel. Ultimately, when I look back, it is only my own actions, and I want to be proud of them. This is my first step, thanks for listening :)

I am blank, I sit here staring at my screen, the white space like a barren desert. I search through a mirage of ideas, hoping to create a wet spring that will quench the thirst of my loyal readers. Alas, dear readers, I am dry. I would love to by a great intellect, or pseudo- intellect as the case may be, and bestow you with enlightenment that will guide you through life. Or a passionate political analyst that can wow you with such statements like: fuck Bush for causing this hurricane, this was part of his deal with the devil so his rich friends could get richer. Why that scheming bastard, we so should have seen this coming. The old stand-by of posting pictures with funny captions is not beyond the realm of possibility. BUT, I have decided, that if I am going to do the "overdone" at least you can learn a few things about me. So here is the overcooked, yet still somehow halfbaked confessions you may not have known about me, unless you are that fucktard that has been leaving those finger, tongue, and that "mystery" print on my window at night.
1. I always pick apart any finger food. Sandwiches, hamburgers, fried chicken, it doesn't matter, I HAVE to tear it into tiny pieces before I will eat it
2. I hate feet. My feet, your feet, eliza dushku's feet (okay..maaaaaybe not her).....I will not touch, tickle, suck on...Anything, gross gross gross
3. I only met my husband once before I moved to Chicago to live with him. We dated 3 months before we got married, and I am not even pregnant!
4. I graduated 4th in my class of 300 of high school, but dropped out my junior yr of college, because I partied too much
5. I named Trenton after the city in New Jersey that had that anthrax scare because I thought it was a cool name
6.I will always swallow rather then spit, not because its "hot" but because the thought of it getting in my hair makes me sick
7. I have never orgasmed through oral sex (also, I cum the fastest, and hardest on top)
8. I crinkle my nose when im happy
9. I consider myself a republican, but I am for the decriminalization of marijuana, pro choice, pro gun control, and anti death penalty
10. I believe the strongest force in all our lives is karma

well that's 10 things for now... I may write more on another blocked day if you all enjoyed it, and yanno, aren't scared away forever :)

(I want this shirt!)

Ten movies I'm embarrassed to love

2005-08-22T11:34:00.000-07:00

A great movie is something a person can get lost in; for a few hours, forget the debt, the broken relationships, the monotonous job and go "somewhere else". I would call myself a movie snob. I tend to like the movies that are "critically acclaimed". There are a few on my favorite list though, that aren't so spectacular. These are my "top ten movies Im embarrassed to love"

10. Shanghai Noon
9. Very Bad Things
8.Team America
7. Dead Alive
6. Plan 9 from Outer Space
5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
4. Hairspray
3. Wedding Singer, Little Nicky, Happy Gilmore, Longest Yard..basically all of Adam Sandler movies
2. Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, Pretty in Pink- pretty much anything with Molly Ringwald in the 80's
1. South Park- bigger, longer, uncut

New and (Improved?) Blog

2005-08-18T11:28:00.000-07:00

So, Danius was kind enough to answer my question, as to how to add music, and being the html genius I am, I TOTALLY farked it up, SO after figuring out what exactly I did wrong, I took the time, to just go ahead and redo the whole thing :)
With the help of Sam, I have it up, running, and semi-functional.
AND, I got the music working, This is Bo Bice(don't worry HMH, I wont torture you with country....yet. mwahaha)
Thanks for your help people! Let me know if you like it, or if I should just blow-up my computer :)

To win or not to win, that is the question...

2005-08-17T09:12:00.000-07:00

When I was a kid, I ALWAYS beat my parents at board games. It started out, with my pwning them at Candyland and Chutes and Ladders, and then Monopoly and Life, eventually Scrabble and Trivial pursuit. It occurred to me, only recently mind you, perhaps...They "let" me win. No, but that can't be...I was a master realtor and always the lawyer....I could double word score with the best of them and have more trivial knowledge than anyone I know. What is the alternative though...My parents inability to form more then 4-letter words...Losing at junior trivial pursuit because they didn't know who the first president of the United States was. Lets face it, they let me win. I'm sure, they did it to build my confidence. Which was a sweet gesture, but what they really did was make me a poor loser. I HAVE to win now, and get very, very mean when I don't. We are talking, "no- sex, go sleep on the couch you fucking cheater" petty. Being a parent though, ones perspective kinda changes. Soon, my son, will start playing Candyland, and I come the the decision, do I let him win? Do I risk him ending up like me...A whining, pouty, pillow-throwing poor loser? OR do I crush his confidence? I suppose, Ill just have to win some and lose some, and teach him both, and maybe teach myself something too.

look at him, how could I NOT let my cutie win?!

Songs I'm Listening To

Yankee Pride, Sox win series, 2 to 1- BITCH

2005-08-11T07:56:00.000-07:00

I was enjoying my normal baseball watching routine: feet- up, margarita in hand, rooting for the best damn team in baseball even up the score against the evil Yankees. When in the 8th inning, the camera scans. And what to my wonderous eyes should appear, a young man, walking around on the foul ball net. This fucking moron, decided to jump, to see if it would "hold his weight". Apparently he was arrested for reckless endangerment of some shit, but to me, I wish the fucking idiot would have cracked his damn skull open, then could have been awarded the Darwin Award of the Decade. Yeah I hope he googles his name, only to come up with fuckwit of the week.
And what does the ever eloquent and brilliant owner of the Yankees have to say: "That was the only exciting thing that happened today,"George Steinbrenner said after Chicago's 2-1 victory. A team that can't even buy a winning record, least there is always entertainment. The most pathetic part of the story, this is the SECOND fan that has tried this in New York.

Call me a dirty southsider if you will, but only in New York, can you see shit like that.

My Top 10 To-Do list

2005-08-09T06:33:00.000-07:00

I was checking out how "the world according to mike" was going, and I noticed he listed his 5 "people he would do list". Ironically, Tom and I were JUST having this conversation this last weekend, and after much deliberation I have finally narrowed it down...to 10, so in somewhat of an order, here they are:

10. Bo Bice

This long-haired hottie got my adimiration with such classics as vehicle, and won my heart with "in a dream". Talented and sexy, YUM!

9. Orlando Bloom

Not to sound like a 13- yr old girl, but could he have been any cuter in LOTR?!

8. Catherine Zeta Jones

I lost my heart to her in Zorro, I have never seen a more beautiful woman. Those eyes, that hair, those curves, she is sensational!

7. Chris Evans

The only good thing about "The Fantastic Four" , Chris is hot, young, and gorgeous. Definitely my newest and hottest crush right now.

6. Hugh Jackman

Though he is a gentleman and a talent, there is more- he has a depth about him thats hard to find. I just LOVE him!

5. Mathew McConaughey

He is just a living doll. His sweet southern acccent, laid back attitude, and so handsome, but doesn't even realize it. AWESOME!

4. Shawn Michaels

Okay, I know some of you are like, who the hell is that?! Anyone who watched WWE in the 1990's will remember the HeartBreak Kid. This man, got me through puberty! Texan with long hair, great ass, and badass attitude, he still makes me wet thinking about him.

3. James Marsters

If you have never watched Buffy or Angel, you may not know who Spike is, but he is a marvelous actor. The main reason I watched and loved Buffy, James oozes sex appeal in every part of his body.

2. Eliza Dushku

Looking at her pic, enough said, right?! But not only is she beautiful, she has a vulnerability and personality that really shine when she acts. She totally melts me.

AND number 1 is.......

JAKE Gyllenhaal

Those eyes, that body, his hair.....marvelous actor, Jake is unstoppable. He won my heart in October Sky and my soul with Donnie Darko. He is so talented, sweet, and handsome. I am literally slobbering here!

So those are my 10. I have other honorable mentions such as Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, but I am pretty happy with my list!

Thanks!

T-shirts that remind me of you all!

2005-08-05T08:23:00.000-07:00

So I was out shopping, and I found some t-shirts, that made me think of a lot of my online blogger buddies; here are a few:

This can go out to all my hot girls, HMH, Sazz, Heather, Erl, and Db

Nameless, Lyo Love, you KNOW Im all about your ass sweetie

Ok Badgod, this one really kinda made me think of you ..*mwah

Come on Van, ya know you wanna *wink wink

Monkeybite, this one has you written ALL over it

Danius, Come on, You SOOOO must do that on a boring sat night.......

Pimp and King- I even shopped with you guys in mind

Attention Children of the 80's

2005-08-02T10:45:00.000-07:00

So I saw this chick with a shirt recently that said "if you choke a smurf, what color does it turn", so naturally we started getting into a conversation about the 1980's. Apparently her daughter, who was about 10, had no idea what a smurf was...
ok, so I was only in grade school in the 80's, but I remember them vividly. I remember watching the breakfast club and lusting after the badboy Judd Nelson. I had the New Kids on the Blocks posters plastered over my wall (keep in mind I was 9!). I dreamed of being an MTV veejay...oh that's right, for you younger readers out there, they use to actually play videos on Mtv...Reality TV was limited to something called the news. Music was very strange in the late 80's- Michael Jackson was big (not just big chubby after little boys) Bobby Brown actually had a couple hits, (hits other then cocaine and assaults on Whitney) McHammer and Vanilla Ice were considered huge celebrities...*shudder* okay, not all happy memories of that era. So, how can one reminisce so fondly, when one mostly thinks of ugly bulky sweaters, bad perms, and blue eyeshadow?

Here is a few things, I truly enjoyed about the 80's:
bangle bracelets (not just a couple, but DOZENS)
rubics cube
Disney afternoon-as well as transformers, GI Joe, carebears and my little pony(yes, I AM a girl after all)
my first Nintendo
leg warmers and lace skirts (yes I thought they looked hot!)
Patrick swayze -in fact, I enjoyed a huge amount of movies from the 80's
ALF

Anyways, I have prattled on long enough, feel free to add your own, as I am forgetting many im sure (fucking chronic of the 90's)

but before I go, check out this link, Anyone who watched Alvin and the Chipmunks, must see it:
http://www.flashplayer.com/music/chipmunkzgangstarap.html just click on the Alvin picture (man he was HOT)

Reflection on quotes

2005-07-29T07:12:00.000-07:00

Quotes:

'First of all,' he said, 'If you can learn a simple trick, (name omitted), you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view-'
'Sir?'
'-until you climb into his skin and walk around in it

They're certainly entitled to think that, and they're entitled to full respect for their opinions... but before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.

It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived.

Nice shells!

2005-07-28T12:20:00.000-07:00

ok I am bored, really bored, so I let my mind wander, and it occured to me, What Disney Princess am I most like? So I looked online, because there is a quiz for EVERYTHING there..and I found this one:

Blog Wars, 2005!!!!

2005-07-20T08:54:00.000-07:00

Thats right, ladies and gentlemen, its time to crack those fingers, google some great wittism (as well as a thesaurus) and settle in for our blog war 2005! Time to manipulate comments, defamate charater, and eventually just digress into playground antics of name-calling, finger pointing, and tattletaling.

I will introduce you to our first contestant: well myself, since I started it :) a little whiskey, boredom, and insomnia, and I was ready to roll!

So im perusing some blogs, and I am reading Lisa's, because she always has interesting, new people on there, and I follow a link at random. Once I get there, I start reading some oh-so educated banter about afghan and horrible things that go on there. Now, I know such places were such a magical place before the US got there, full of chocolate rivers and gundrop smiles- and they were making great strives in their human rights- until the US intervened...I stopped reading and scrolled more, til I reached a comment saying that Harry Potter books where watered- down, Poor man's CS Lewis, Then went ON to say, well I havent read the books! Now...call me crazy, but shouldn't one actually READ something before reaching such a conclusion, SO ladies and Gentlemen, I left my FIRST comment:

i happened upon your blog from a good friend of mine, and I will tell you, unless you have read them, it's absolutely uninformed and ridiculous to comment on them. Then again I have gotton the impression you are quite liberal, so that in itself explains the self- righteous and completely unfactual commentary.
*POW*

It did not take long, for this person..we shall call her: BAD....short for, bored and disturbed..to write a long post in her own blog as well as respond in mine. Now I wont bore you with what she wrote, as it is the normal self-absorbed banter, followed suite by pleathera of yes men comments that want to lay her, so I will skip back to MY Blog and its Dialogue:

comment number 1 by BAD:
hmmm attacking people on their own blogs for their own opinions. very cool. really.

*slap in the face* as for now, im tired, sober, and alittle hung over

So I respond:
heh ppl never cease to amaze with their inability for criticism, sorry I am unable to read the inane babble and then kiss your ass like most guys :) dont worry, i wont read it again.

*By now, We have several of my friends, reading my blog, perhaps egging it along in hopes of it regressing into two hot chicks bitch slapping and pulling eachothers clothes off (and jello richie, always jello)

So now I have a comment deleted post on my site followed seconds later by BAD writing:
so i'll assume that you've read every "inane" word that i've written on my blog then, since that was your initial criticism of me?

* A Swing, but a BIG old miss* not even close ladies and gentleman, but please applaud, at least she is TRYING to fight back

I almost laugh and shoot back a:
nope after the afghan one, then the harry potter, i had read plenty :)least i did read SOMETHING before formulating an opinion on it though ;)BTW, make a mistake in the first comment

*Pow and a stomp* honestly, square in the chest and it left her silent for quite awhile..honestly, I thought it was over, my dear audience

But NO, Other friends, happened to follow our encounter, and decided to check out BAD for themselves. One left a comment. Now apparently, as a finely informed audience member stated:(we shall call her SA for that smokin ass of hers):

can hear the hissing sounds.. I love it!She obviously thinks you have enough power to make people do what you want. Yanno, she might be right.Would you like anything else, Master?

BAD is pissed now, and is writing yet another post about me...ill be honest, I did as I said, and didnt read anymore, and left, NO other comments on her blog, but apparently, my control over all the other people on the internet sent a renewed strength in her to go for the kill

BAD:
no the first comment was rude and i didnt want to sink to "that" level. thanks for sending your friends to my blog to tell me to "get a life" btw. very cool.oh and women's right? not a good thing? yeah afghan women SHOULD just be left to rape, murder, and child prostitution. did you read that article? no? hmmm....oh and PS i did see the harry potter movies, didnt like them, and assumed that they were just like the book. gasp.

Well I really don't know if that was a hit or a missed ladies and gents, for now..I think she is fighting mostly inside her own head...maybe she will enlighten us all one day:

I did however, slap back:
umm why would I have sent people to your blog? Is it possible, they wanted to read for themselves how completely self absorbed you are? and the whole afghan thing..i never even responded to that one.....are you just making things up to be a bitch about now? :)

*match, game point*

So, ladies and gentlemen, we are now caught up, the witty banter, the tattltaling and name calling. Who knows what will happen next. For now, Im just EasilyAmused.

When all else is blocked post pics!

2005-07-15T09:12:00.000-07:00

You know, I sit here thinking about a blog topic, and a million run through my mind....but really do I WANT to talk about any of it. I have talked about work a lot, do you really want to read my bitching and moaning about 6 day work weeks and ungrateful clients. Tom wants me to talk about him more, but as much as I love and adore him, it always digresses into some petty gripe about him like taking the last ice cube and not refilling them. My chapter 7 is weighing heavy on my mind, but its something I have to do, because, my ex- trent's dad, left me thousands in debt, and when it came down to paying old bills or feeding my child as a single mom- well, as persistant as those bill people are, I have my priorities. Speaking of my ex, apparently he claimed Trent for several years on his income taxes, getting about six grand- I found this out recently when i reamended my return and they said Trent was already claimed. Of course, I have not seen a dime of that, OR child support in three years. Everyone says just take him to court, its just impossibly hard to find the time or energy because he is out of state. As well as the fact that lawyers cost money- something, well- heh, see pervious gripe. So, basically, this post has turned into things that have been on my mind, but I have pushed into the back. I am a happy person, suprisingly, and I dont like to talk about my problems or worries with people (well cept with Lisa, poor dear always gets an earful)...I guess I am grateful I am at a point in my life, where maybe I can be settled: I can get rid of my debts; I have a wonderful man and father for Trent; I have a job that I really do enjoy doing; and I have incredible friends online, that I genuinely care for, and I know they do for me. Thanks for getting me through guys, and being there for me, I love you all :)

No more hello, woohoo

Mickey Mickey not so fine

2005-06-29T07:26:00.000-07:00

So I woke up this morning, to a crying Trent walking into my room, dragging his Mickey Doll behind him. I asked him what was wrong, and he looked at me with his big, puddle eyes and said "Mickey, owwied my eye." Now, I supressed a smile knowing this was a very serious situation to him indeed. I pull him up on the bed with me and asked him where it hurt. He pointed straight at his eye said," oooooooow. "So I leaned in and kissed it and told him it was looking much better. I asked him what we should do to Mickey for hurting his eye. He looked at Mickey, a look of deep concentration on his little face and he said, "Time Out Mickey Mouse!" So I said, "okay, lets put Mickey in time out, because when someone does something wrong that is where they go" (yeah yeah, have to turn it into a learning situation).
So there went Mickey, sitting in the corner while I set the timer. Trent watched with interest and a smirk. When the timer dinged, I let Mickey out and took him over to Trent. "What do you say Mickey?" I asked, my voice not even waivering. I then put on my best high Mickey Voice and go "Im sorry Trent, I didnt mean to hurt you, please forgive me". Anyway, I hugged Mickey and said it was very good to apologize and to not do it again. Then Trent hugged him and took him off to breakfast, with a look that said he felt justice had been served.

Mickey doing his time.....

My little monkey this morning

Okay, so every morning about 6:30am, Trent wanders into my room and tries to wake me up by jumping on my chest and screaming one inch from my face: mommy, mommy, wake up, time to get up, get uuuup, moooooommy, its time to wake up! When I still dont stir, he kisses my face over and over again, saying the same thing..I know, I am a monster, I STILL wont get up, so he turns on the tv in the bedroom (still sitting on my chest mind you) and preceeds to flip through the channels til he finds some very loud cartoon. He then turns it up ALL THE WAY, and goes, look mommy, you are missing ELMO! WAKE UP!!! *smooooooooch, WAAAAAAKE UP. At this point, I give up, and ask him if he want cereal, he jumps off me, WOOHOO's in his cute little voice and I just have to smile. It may not be the most peaceful way of waking up, but I love it :)

After the week I had, I thought I would add THIS as my Quote of the week!

When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bustling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.

Some people just plain suck

This woman comes in yesterday to do an exchange. Now, this is my FIRST day on register mind you. Well, the shirt she wanted to change for a different size, had no tags, she had no receipt, and the shirt had a stain. I went ahead and did it ANYWAYS, cause it was Father's Day, and I was in a generous mood. So I make the exchange, and staple the two receipts that printed out together out of courtesy. And what does she do....Most people would thank me kindly, wish me a happy day, and be on their way. But she just stares at the reciepts, then says in a voice I can only assume she mostly saves for the most contemptious situation "You need to remove that staple, I cant read the numbers, MOST people would not staple over the numbers!" I look at her cold, angry face and about a million things run through my head, but instead of saying anything, I grabbed it out of her hand, removed the staples ,and promptly tossed it back at her. She stormed out, apparently already late for a nail appointment, leaving me to mutter nasty things under my breath. I can only assume this was one bitter divorcee on Father's Day, taking it out on the only person she could lord over. Its okay though, karma is a bitch.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day Baby!! Love Ya :)
Special Father's Day hugs to Chuck, Richie, Mike, Cory, Dubbs, Tony, Ting, Andre, and Doc :) ....wow i know a lot of dads lol

Clever title or actually write...

2005-06-18T08:17:00.000-07:00

I have realized, every time I sit down to try to think of some clever title- I get totally blocked and end up not writing anything. Therefore, I am either going to be unwitty, or I will steal all Lisa's clever ones :)
So work is going alright. I really do enjoy my job, and the people I work with. The clients are really nice for the most part. That's right, we don't have customers, or guests- we have CLIENTS. I believe its a castrating offense to use any other word, I'm not sure, I am not about to test it. Im not sure WHY its clients. Perhaps to make our job sound more important than simply clothing the wealthy. Maybe some person in the higher up once had long ago dreams of having a real job, such as a lawyer...who knows, but one of these days I am going to slip amd say customer, and I shall insue the wrath of a bunch of ex- cheerleader college dropouts. (and yes Richie, I'll take pictures :P )

MHGOTD- LET GO of the purse strings, I never have cash on me; I feel like I have to ASK for money to buy a fricken cup of coffee. Hell, this morning, you went to fill up my gas tank. On the surface, a rather nice gesture...but I know better, you are simply NOT handing over the credit card *sigh

MHGOTD.....i know, im making up words again

2005-06-17T09:52:00.000-07:00

I will start with a new thing today I would like to call MHGOTD (my hubby gripe of the day).
I was showing him my new and improved blog, proudly displaying it and all the lovely msgs from my gorgeous friends..and he says: why do you have a picture of Bo up...why not me?
At this unanticipated response, I frowned and lamely muttered something about not having one of him on my computer. It really kinda sucks when you work really hard on something, and the person that should support you most, totally ignores it or worse, puts it down.
BUT a lot of people have given me wonderful feedback, and such supportive comments, to all of you, I want to send you major hugs and kisses- as well as some hot oral ;)

Bo Bice, I MISS YOU!!!!!

Act 2..

2005-06-16T10:25:00.000-07:00

Okay, so day 2....with the help of some wonderful friends, I have figured out how to add quotes and pictures, thanks so much guys! I even figured out myself how to link the site for the best irc/dalnet chatroom in the world- #adulttalk- its the first time I have edited script and I am very proud! I am feeling very lucky today, because I have gotton the chance to get really close to some of the people in that room, and they are really some of the funniest, sweetest, and honest people I have ever met. Love Ya guys! I have a feeling I am going to be one of the short bloggers, then after I post, I'll think of about 10 other things I wanted to talk about..owell. Last night was amusing, I showed Tom my blog, and his only comment was, how come you didn't say you are married. All the work, and THAT was his comment *sigh
So if you notice my edit in my profile, it was alittle tongue and cheek.
I have many things to share, my thoughts about work, relationships, children, and life...but, I suppose I should pace myself. Today, I will simply rejoice in life: sunshine, good health, beautiful family, and wonderful friends :) God Bless!

Peer Pressure

2005-06-15T12:04:00.000-07:00

I have finally broken down. I have started a blog. I managed to hold off when it first started years ago, because I figured it would just be a short-lived trend. I held off a year ago, when my closest friends and boyfriend at the time ALL had them- which is fortunate, cause I no longer speak to any of them. Now, blogging is a verb, and everyone and their dogs have one....so, i have succombed and started my own. I am glad I waited til now, I am at a time in my life, where I am settled, happy, and have waaaay too much free time on my hands! So, I would like to send Lisa and Candee my love, for inspiring me to get motivated to FINALLY start one :)- as well as for being two of the sexiest women I know *MWAH*
