I feel so horrible today. As, I am sure you have heard Heath Ledger has died. He was such an amazing actor and one of a favorites of mine!

I feel so sorry for his family and his loved ones. He will be missed. And the movie industry has lost an amazing, inspiring, actor!

Ahhh! I look like a slacker! Seriously, I have not applied my blog work to here recently! Let's all laugh at me!! But, I have been writing! So, even though I did not update it in a while, here goes! I will be putting on what I have written and on the days I wrote them. In the order that they were written.

Just a small note. Some times I will be in thought and not come on the computer, I will either write how I am feeling in my note book or journal. So, all this junk then has to be typed and added. SOOOO this is the deal as to why I have not been posting.

Call it procrastination. Call it laziness. I do not care what you call it, but call it the way I work! Yeah, I said it. The way I work. Let's just go with that one!

Anyways... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

So disappointed on so many different Levels...

2007-12-27T15:56:00.000-08:00

~ So disappointed on so many different Levels... ~

Two days after Christmas and only now, I feel as I can talk about this. Christmas in general was ok. On my birthday the 23rd, My mom took my kids, my nephews, my niece, herself and I to a hotel in Carmel. The reason being she wanted to spend the next day with my Grandma whom lives in Carmel and she was not sure how the weather was going to be. And she wanted to be nice and have us go some where. There had been plans for us to go to Florida, however she had changed them due to the lack of money. It was going to be a Christmas present to everyone. So, she wanted us just to get away, even if it was some where not so far away.

That was good. We had a nice time. We went shopping and in the morning the hotel had a giant breakfast we all partook in. And the next day, we got present ready for my grandma. Then we drove to her place to spend time with her. She is in a wheelchair due to both of her legs being amputated. And, it had been a while since I had seen her. It is not that I do not want to see her, because I do. It is just that I have the girls all the time and they like to run around and do as kids like to do. And she has a LOT of little things for them to get into and break. So, I do not get to see her as much as I would like. I know she would like to see the kids more as well.

We came home late that evening. And I had called my ex to see if he was indeed coming over to see the kids on Christmas. Calling him was not something I wanted to do. It was more of a duty. Since my kids had not seen him in over 2 months, except for a week before Christmas when he came over. Boy, was that a fiasco! With his ex girlfriend calling him on his cell phone and he giving me the phone telling me to tell her that I was with him again. I took the phone and said, "He wants me to tell you that we are back together, but I can not lie. And I would never take him back ever again!" The girl was crying. And get this people he is so rude to his ex she is in a wheelchair and he treats her like dirt!

So, she hung up. Of course she called again. And again. And he decided to leave and give me his prepaid phone so, she could never call him again. And call she did. A lot. I told her everything about him. All she could say was, "I didn't even know him." And I laughed and said, "Yeah, you were with him like what.. a whole month? I was with him for almost 6 years and I did not know him. So, good luck figuring him out."

That was not Christmas though. That was the week before. However, he promised my girls that he would be there for Christmas. And he called 2 or 3 more times the week asking my daughter what she wanted. It was really a simple request. She wanted a Game Boy Advanced SP with The Little Mermaid game. She had really gotten a liking to the Chicken Little game of her cousin's. She wanted her own.

Now, this man that has not paid child support or even really cared to see them or call them in 2 1/2 months. I figured it was a small request he could take care of. He got a job about 3 weeks ago and he told me that he makes about $850.00 a week. He is only ordered to pay, $96.00 a week. And that is not each kid that is for the both of them. His mean ass can not even do that.

So, I thought if anything he could handle this shit. Right. I thought wrong. I was lucky he did show up. Because, I really thought he would do a no show. Anyhow, I called him the night before and he promised he would show. I told him he better since the girls were all excited for him to show.

He did show. He did not buy her the Game Boy Advance. He, bought them each a 2 pack Family Dollar price tag on the box Horse set for each other them. And the box said for ages 4 and up. My one daughter is not even 2. And, he gave my older daughter a dog purse. He spent about $15.00 if even that much. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt that the purse was $9.00. The purse did not have a tag on it.

He told me that he had to spend all his money on his other girlfriend and he did not have the cash nor, did he get to go shopping for the girls. He went shopping for the woman he goes with now and her kids... PLEASE. She is in her late 30's and she has a teenage son of 16. And another kid. Age is unknown. Again, I am disappointed on how a man can be so cruel and not caring.

You probably are reading this and think that I am a hateful person. And that all I am is money hungry. You have no clue on how far from the truth that is. It has really taken it out on me having to take care of kids with no support. And my parents have helped out a great deal. If it had not been for them, the kids would have had a horrid Christmas.

I feel bad for my kids. I really do. I always had my dad around. My parents are still married. I did not have to worry about this. My kids do. Dad, shows up so rarely in their small little lives. Just enough for them to know he exists and when they want him more, he leaves and makes them cry. Did I mention he was here like 15 minutes on Christmas for his kids. I did not say anything to him mean and hateful. We were actually joking around. Him on the other side of the room of course.

He did stay 5 minutes more than he did last week. That visit was a whole 10 minutes. He has just changed so much it is crazy. I do not even know where to go with it. So, that was Christmas. Oh, we went to my parents and they got my kids some presents. So, they had an ok Christmas. They talked about their dad all day. And how he promised he would be back in a couple days and get her a Game Boy Advance. I doubt that will happen. It has already been 2 days....

Yet another birthday...

~ Yet another birthday... ~

Yet, another birthday. I am 28 this time! I feel old. Very old. Yet, another birthday cheated. LOL! Seriously, I am not all about gifts and stuff, and it is a good thing I am not. IF I had been I might feel sad. Yes, many of my friends and family over looked me in giving me stuff for my b day. The reason usually falls into the 2 categories:

1. I did not have enough money to buy you a gift, I spent all my money on buying stuff for other people on Christmas.

(or)

2. Here is your birthday/Christmas present.

Hmmmm.

LOL! I guess I am usually a convenience to those that wish to buy me stuff, I am like killing 2 birds with one stone...
OH WELL!

It was horrid none the less and not because of the presents issue. I would not care if I ever got another present again. I like them, but I try to realize it is all material and try to look toward the things that matter.

But, I can not believe I am 28. It does not feel right. I do not feel as old as I am....

Hotel Reservations

A couple months ago I was looking up Hotels to stay at. And I did not have this site. I wish I would have! They have great rates at up to 70 % off! And you can get that percentage off of not just hotels, but motels, vacation rentals, resorts and more. And they can book you World Wide at an array of destinations!

You can also get car rentals and book your flight on their website as well. So, if you are going traveling there is no need to look any further! Not only can and will you save on your next vacation or trip, you will save a bundle too!!

Looking forward to Sweeney Todd

2007-12-18T16:15:00.000-08:00

~ Looking forward to Sweeney Todd ~

visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site

I happen to rarely look forward to a movie that is going to be playing soon at theaters. I usually know there is hype for nothing. But, this is not the case. I know this movie is going to be sensational! Why? Just mentioning is in it and who it is made be, tells a great deal.

The Movie: Sweeney Todd

Made By: Tim Burton

Staring: Johnny Depp & Helena Bonham Carter

My favorite Johnny Depp roles thus far have to be: Cry Baby and Edward Scissorhands

In Crybaby: My favorite moment was where he is locked in Juvenile Hall Johnny Depp plays a guy named - Wade "Cry-baby" Walker. He falls for a girl named Allison whom is rich. Both of their friends approve of the relationships. It is musically based with tons of singing and the scene is set in the 1950's.

In Edward Sissorhands: My favorite scene of that movie would be when he creates a snow storm out of ice sculptures that he makes with his scissorhands. In Edward Scissorhands, Johnny Depp plays a misfit that's creator has died before he had gotten to finish him, so he is left with scissorhands.

I do believe out of the 2 I slightly tend to lean more toward the gothic Edward Sissorhands. The movie is touching and Johnny Depp does a suburb acting. And it is also by Tim Burton.

I just know that Sweeney Todd is going to be amazing. It is also musically based. As we all know Johnny Depp has the vocal ability as well as acting talent. And it is made by Tim Burton. So, this will probably soon become one of my favorite movies by the duo.

I wish I was not such a Selfish Girl...

2007-12-12T01:41:00.000-08:00

~ I wish I was not such a Selfish girl! ~

Ok, so I am not so selfish and I try to be kind and considerate! But, I can not sleep... And I feel better now. I feel hopeful. And all you need is hope! Or is that love? Anyhow, I realized how I was being selfish and self centered around my problems. And I did not stop to think about this war that is going around. And how it is yet another year the poor soldiers have to suffer through, with NO true absolution as to when they can kiss American soil and be with the ones they love.

I really can not imagine this scenario and in many cases I am glad I do not have to. I could not even imagine having someone I care tremendously about fighting off in a far away distant land not knowing if I would ever look them in the eyes or touch them again. That is simply too heart breaking for me to grasp. And, I am out of my depressive mood so let me not go into it too deeply and make myself sad. God, to anyone that actually reads this I must sound like bio-polar girl on a head trip! So, not the case.

And the point being... I never know what to write. So, I babble. But, in this instances there was a point. I happened just about 10 minutes ago find a website that has postcards made by children and xerox is helping. What you get to do is make a post card up and xerox will copy it and send it to a soldier that is off in the war. They will just send it to a random soldier and you do not get to tell any "real" info about your self. It is kinda like a random act of kindness. I did one, mind you I never know what to write. I wish I did. But, you may see the one I did anyhow.

If you want to go and make one your self, then go and do it. It is free. It is kinda fun. I might do another few, why not? They can not send them if they are not made!

Is this all that is left?

2007-12-11T17:47:00.000-08:00

~ Is this all that is left? ~

I know I am still absorbed in today's theme. Blah, blah, blah. I am so sorry for myself and all that radical crap. I just feel like there has to be something more. More to this. I know how I say I am happy to be single. But, I simply can not help thinking I am missing something.

No, I am not lonely really. I am, but I am not. That relationship was hard enough to last a life time. I feel like hiding the ol' heart in a box forever. Or maybe I already have and I have not realized it? Call me a "romantic junkie" or say I have a lot of "fairy tale talk" but, I still deep inside my heart where I know I truly reside, I believe there is someone really out there for me.

I feel like today however, all my surprises are gone. There are no more. They left and in came age. I feel like all I have left to look forward too is a movie, where someone found what they were searching for. I miss being a kid. And I miss all the opportunities I missed out on. I miss having that wonderful feeling that no matter what, some how, everything will be better tomorrow. And the pain free worry of bills and the lack of paying for them.

I had it all in the palm of my hand. I thought those days would last forever. And when they did not I was god smacked. I wanted to grow up to fast and I worried about growing up so fast that I did not even realize I was grown. This week, I remember telling someone they reminded me of Wendy from Peter Pan... well I suppose my analogy was indeed wrong. I am more like Wendy with the kids... my friend was more like Peter Pan. Of course my comparison was of course wrong. DUH! Stupid Peter Pan for confusing me!!! My daughter finally got off that kick by the way! She is now watching Labyrinth with David Bowie and she is ruining it for me... One movie at a time. However, it is better than Mary Martin Peter Pan!!!

2007-12-11T16:36:00.001-08:00

~ Trying hard to smile ~

I am not depressive usually. Not at all. However, today was one of my off days, and I will be the 1st to admit it. It just seemed so blah today. Some days, ever though very rarely I get the blues too. Or the Reds... Haha. I do like the color blue better though, so why ruin that color.

Anyhow, today just felt like I was hit by a brick wall. I felt that there will never be an absolution to these feelings. I hate when I have these days. Usually I try to see the bright side for what it is. And everything has been going ecstatically well. As, well as one could have hoped for in my position I suppose.

The brick wall seems to be built around me some times. I know that this will all be resolved in time. If not in a year or so. You see, one of my major problems I seem to have is the lack of money. I know money is not everything, but certainly needed to live. And since I am in this slump of needing ever so much to get a job I have hit this brick wall and it seems there is no where else to turn.

I have my 2 kids you see and they are both at home with me all the time. So, they are not in school. And getting a job whilst one has kids can be done of course if someone has someone else to watch their children. I in fact do not have this luxury. My mom will of course watch them at some times. If I want to go out or something rarely. Usually it is just to go to the store or something to that nature. She will not watch them long enough for me to get a job.

And she decided to fight with me about the whole problem the other day. And it made me feel rather insane. I love my parents, do not get my wrong. But, I just love how their, "Throw all your problems in your face even though you are already worried about them, but offering no solution" attitude. It just made me think about them more, and I simply do not have the time to worry about shit I just can not change at the moment.

She came to me telling me to get a job. I told her I would love to. Trust me, after being stuck with the babies I am ready to hang out with anyone and making money while doing it would even put icing on the cake. I had already looked in day care and for 2 kids it differs from $175.00 to $250.00 a week. Yes, is that not a load of shit or what?

Now, I could get a job making possibly $10.00 an hr or slightly more. And if I worked 40hrs that would be $400.00 a week minus all the taxes taken out. So weekly that I would make $350.00 to $300.00 after the taxes were taken out. Then take away the gas and whatever else needed to work, depending on location. So, I would make $100.00 profit weekly if I happened to be that lucky.

So, it just looks like shit right now. I know that soon, the kids will be in school and this will not be a problem. So, I am trying to look past it... but some times it is just hard doing it....

A few Surprises...

2007-12-08T15:28:00.000-08:00

~ A few Surprises... ~

And this week has been full of a few surprises! Let me start out with something that shocked me. This was quite cool. I happened to go to my myspace page, that was hacked into the past couple of months and I was in deed thinking about deleting it. However, I did not. I had recently started to work on and fix it rather than sending it to myspace hell.

Yes, it had been destroyed. Whomever decided to do it, did it well. I give them kudos for that. And in fact I am not pissed at them at all. Who cares now right? I just hope that they had fun. Myspace is not life. So who cares. They just deleted a mack load of my friends, my layout and all about me.

So, with that said.. I am glad I did keep it up however. This week I got 2 friend requests. And I thought it was just going to be the bogus fake friend requests like I usually get. You know what I am talking about. If you frequent myspace at all, then you get the, "look at my photos, they are nude and I am a hot girl" friend requests. Right? Or am I the only one? I have sneaking assumption I am not.

So, the requests I did check them out. And they happened to be from an old friend of mine. I had not heard from him in 12 years. I did think he had fell off the face of the Earth. But, as it comes. He is in a couple bands. So, of course I added them to my myspace page. And you should too... why? Because, the music rocks that is why. And because, I said so!!

So, here you go... New myspace friend's for you to add:

The Dreaded Peter Pan a Showing

2007-12-05T15:09:00.000-08:00

~ The Dreaded Peter Pan a Showing ~

My daughter who is 4 has a rather large Peter Pan fetish! She has to watch Peter Pan all the time. Peter Pan is now her favorite cartoon. But, it does not stop there. She has to watch him many times during the day. And yes, the cartoon is ok. So, I can not complain much.

I was on Youtube the other day and she wanted me to look up Peter Pan. So, I did. And I found a rare and forgotten Peter Pan Movie. And after one viewing I remembered why I forgot it.

We found Peter Pan played by Mary Martin.

And, after my daughter laughed at the fact for 10 minutes straight of how Peter was Played by a woman... Then she was interested and wanted to watch it!

Goodness... Why did they make this movie? I do remember that when I was 9 I used to watch it every now and then. The songs are catchy and annoying. It was great nostalgia to re watch it once, but dear God, it has now replaced the cartoon and all she wants to watch is Mary Martin Peter Pan!

Excuse me while I barf. It kinda makes me miss Barney..

Wait NO, it does not!

Yet again, another Anniversary... this time not mine!

2007-12-03T15:25:00.002-08:00

~ Yet again, another Anniversary... this time not mine! ~

December 3rd! My parents 36 year Anniversary! Seems like I was just writing about this yesterday, but it has in fact been a year since. And I seriously have to wonder what this... HOW ARE THEY TOGETHER THIS LONG!!! This is still insane for me to ponder!

Madness, I say. Simply Madness! Marriages do not last this long. They should, but they do not. Just look at mine... enough said. It is not that I did not try though. And I think that most people usually do not try. I tried and tried and tried and tried again. I think that some times people just jump into things too soon.

I do not even think that really matters though. Either if people jump into it too soon or not, I do think total dedication is what is needed. You just have to make up your mind to do something and do it. No matter what anyone says, no matter how much temptation. You have to decline it all and stick with your guns. I think that is probably the best way to make a marriage work. That and make sure you know the person, really good.

It is soooo hard to know someone though. Especially, when you are dating. People are usually nicer when dating and they make up all these terrible lies. I have never been into lying much, so I have always been honest and truthful about mostly everything and believed everyone was like that. But, as I have gotten burn, I realized that not everyone is like that. During dating and the, "getting to know you" phase of a relationship, in my circumstances at least, I have found the guys to talk big and not deliver. LOL!

That reminded me of the pizza. No, it is not delivery! It is not that other kind either. It is a good thing too. Mine is good and healthy. Mine is a vegetarian, Kashi Mediterranean Pizza.

~ Life Insurance Rates & Deals ~

I know it is around the holidays and one of the least things you want to think about is life insurance. So why think about it? Well, it just might be a great gift to give yourself, because if you get life insurance for yourself and family then you know you are giving yourself "peace of mind".

And what better gift is that! I happen to know of a company that is having deals with life insurance at the moment with Reduce Premiums which means you Save Money on Insurance! Yes, you heard me correctly! So what do you have to do to get life insurance at incredible rates???

Well, that one is easy. All you have to do is go to their website posted here for you to get a fast free Insurance Quote: Insurance Quotes

And that is it! Now, was that not easy or what????

Not so Associated any more

2007-12-02T12:30:00.000-08:00

~ Not so Associated any more ~

This is a rant about Associated Content, you know the company that "pays" you to write articles. I had been writing for them for a small while. And I had thought I was the only one that got rejected for well written articles. I have heard many excuses from them telling me my article was well written, but not what the internet viewer was looking for. Right...

I found out today I am not alone! I happened to be browsing blogs today from fellow bloggers, and I have came across a blogger that is having the same problem I am with Associated Content.

Blogger's name: Denise Kincy Grier

Blog:
-----> Freelancing Journey

Article about Associated Content:
-----> Finished with Associated Content

I find her blog to be terrific and I believe that she writes wonderfully. And if anything she has turned into Associated Content was like of that, that is on her blog, it should have been accepted.

I did once as well make a little money with Associated Content. That time is over however. I happened to just get into it before they started to only want to pay for page views. So, when I say a little money, I mean A LITTLE MONEY!

And I was quite dedicated to it too. I thought, "Wow, a way to make money at home." And since my 1st set of articles did seem to get $5.00 or more per an article I was rejoicing as I could put out 10 articles a day.

However, that soon turned. I do believe that they should either post topics of the "articles" they are looking for or just post plainly that they only want to pay per a view with a penny. HA! Since that happens to be all they are up to doing now. My last 5 articles were rejected, but they said I could place them on there for no money and make the penny per a view. Yeah, uh... NO! Why, have them make money for Google ad hits that my article provides for them while I get my penny. They get a lot more.

So in closing, I decided that it is just time for me to, "REJECT" Associated Content.

If you think I am insane or your just wondering what I am talking about, I will explain! Do I not always explain? Of course I do.

It was thought in older days that if the 1st words out of your mouth upon waking up were, "Rabbit, Rabbit" before you said anything else, on the 1st of each month, you would have good luck that whole month.

Hey, do not take my word for it. It is a large superstition! In fact you can read all about it on, wikipedia. Here --------> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_rabbit

But, they say to say, "Rabbit, Rabbit white Rabbit." Never heard it that way! Hmmmm. I know I have to fix it with the backwards chant. Whilst I do that I might as well spin around 3 times and throw salt over my shoulder. If I could only remember what shoulder it is to throw salt over...........

May all your Rabbits Be Merry and Black...

Happy December!! :)

The Great Target -Non- Return Policy

2007-11-29T03:28:00.000-08:00

~ The Great Target -Non- Return Policy ~

Not, to sound like Yoda, but saddened I am. I have had the shame from a store I love. I love this store more than all other major retailers. Why? Might you ask? Well it's Target! And it used to be the best place to get all the fun stuff and the clearance sales on all the items! Woah! Well, this gal has some problems with her ex major favorite retailer.

As the story goes:

Objective: To Return a -non- open Early Birthday Present

Location:

My birthday is Christmas eve, eve. For all you that might not understand my lingo that would be December 23rd. This girl will be 28! Yes, yes. I will be quite old. Well, let us not rub it in! I am still under 30, so blah. ANYHOW... I had a present that was presented to me. Let us not get into it. It was something I could not use. It was $49.99. However, I had not idea as to the cost, I just know I could not use it. So, I decided that I would have to return it. The present giver told me they had purchased it at Target. Ok, no fret. I had not returned anything to Target in such a time however, this store is the best! So, how could they refuse me.

~Upon walking in~

I was there with my brother and thankful for it. I came into the store and the buzzer with off. The buzzer that says you stole something. So, this girl, probably younger than 20 ran to me. And she said, do you want to purchase that. I looked at her like she was retarded since I was still lurking in the door way with arrival into the store. I said, "Umm.. No, it was a gift and I need to return it." She rolled her eyes and said, "Oh." And she walked back over to the customer service desk. I stood in line and 5 minutes later she yelled, "I can take you." I went up to her and she said, "How, can I help you?" I said, "I needed to return this. This item is not compatible with the item it was for."

I think I must have confused her with the word, "compatible" because she looked at me like she had no idea as of what I was saying. She said, "Oh. Well where is the receipt?" I said, "It was a gift I do not have a receipt." She said, "Oh." And she said, "Well, if it is over $20.00 we will not give you store credit and you have to keep it." This was not posted anywhere on there policy on the board behind her. I said, "Well, can you just give me store credit?" She looked at me and scanned it and said, "No, it is $49.99. It is over $20.00, so I can do nothing with it." UGH! I said, "Fine!" And left.

~ On the Internet ~

I thought she was just being a bitch. So I looked it up online and all I have to scream is WHY, TARGET, WHY!!! Ok, enough for dramatics for tonight, but other patrons are having just as much troubles. And, it is going much deeper. I guess according to other's stories I have heard Target is not only allowing people to return stuff that is under $20.00 without a receipt, but one can only do it 2 times in 365 days. I guess they are collecting names and stuff and refusing people if they have done it more than twice.

~ My Last Words ~

I understand some policies have to be enforced due to people that steal and return items. But, I was returning a brand new item never opened or used. And it was worth $49.99. They could just reshelve it and make there money back. I was just asking for store credit. Instead, I was treated like a crook upon entrance. Will I ever shop at Target again? Yes, why? Because, as stated I love there fun items and sales. Like, I got my Hello Kitty iPod charging alarm clock there it was normally $50.00 every where else, but I found mine in clearance with 5 other ones for $12.49. And, usually I do like them better than Walmart or Meijer. So, yes I am still forced to shop there. I just hope they understand that they are being meanies and change! Fat chances for changing the Fat Cats, er dogs ???

How to Cook with a Light Bulb and Dvds

2007-11-23T18:20:00.000-08:00

~ How to Cook with a Light Bulb and Dvds ! ~

I most certainly do not agree with them cooking a turkey. You know my views already. But, this is genius! Who would have really sat down and thought how to cook a turkey with a light bulb and dvd's? If it works for turkey, it might just be a cool way to make an oven if you are oven less and have the other things to do it with.

Remember, if you try this to do what they say. I did not make this video up. I am only adding it, because it is neat! And well... I liked it! :)

~Other then the cooking of meat, I liked it....~

Happy Thanks Giving !!!

2007-11-22T17:44:00.000-08:00

~ Happy Thanks Giving !!! Yet... Again. ~

It has rolled by too fast! Right! Right! And it is again that time of year. I am however slightly mad. Why might you ask? Let me tell you why! All the foods I would have normally eaten have some sort of Meat in them! YES! UGH! My mom made stovetop stuffing last year.. you know this kind:

Used to be one of my favorite things for Thanksgiving. Well, I always tell her to get the cornbread varity of it due to the fact the other ones have either chicken or turkey broth in them. So, I went to the store to make sure the other kinds did not have it in them. And low and behold they did. Even the off brands. All brands had chicken fat in them. So, not only chicken broth, but chicken fat!!!!

I was in shock! I had already this week found out that one of my favorite chips had chicken fat in them. My fave chips used to be: Baked Lays BBQ! The kind that are only 3 grams of fat per a serving!

<------ Chicken fat is added to them! YUCK!
I totally do not agree with the marketing of things. I think that they need to be clearly marked if they contain such ingredients that are meat by products. Being the vegetarian I am now, I really have to make sure everything does not contain meat. I mean come on, they are potato chips who thought meat was added to them!

And since more people or vegetarian now then ever, they totally need to make such things better! That makes me so mad that they get away with this. I want a sticker that says, "CONTAINS CHICKEN FAT!!" Then I might be happy. I will be happier when they take the chicken fat out of them!

The regular ones that taste like pringles, they do not contain Chicken fat. Which goes to prove they do not have to add chicken fat to there product.

And so, I decided to look for other stuff to eat for Thanksgiving. And even the Uncle Ben's Spanish Ready Rice contains Chicken Fat. I am just telling you to make sure you are consuming what you think you are! There are millions out there fooled into thinking they are not consuming meat, when in reality they are!!!!

On to the -NoN- Turkey Day Feast. My meal will include: Frichik (which is vegetarian chicken) Mash potatoes, sweet potatoes, roll, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie! My oh My! So that will be dinner!! And to everyone one else....

~ The bad side of Cha Cha ~

2007-11-18T10:35:00.000-08:00

~ The bad side of Cha Cha ~

Seriously, I'm not going to sit here and bad mouth Cha Cha. I really love the site. And if you are not that familiar with it I will give you a fast run down. Basically Cha Cha, is a website search engine like Yahoo or Google. However they have a real person find you what you are looking for instead of you doing it all by your lonesome. That is pretty much what it is. Ok. Well they hire people to work for this AT home with there computer. And pretty much anyone that can type or spell can be on Cha Cha guide. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that you are called a guide if you help people on Cha Cha.

Now as a Cha Cha guide which that I am. I love it! I think it is wonderful. But there are a few hang ups about it. Just a few. Trust me I'm going to be nice! :)

1. I used to get a lot of Business!: Yes as a guide I used to make the good money. However now it seems I can be logged on and only make a couple dollars a day. Which in my opinion down right pisses me off due to the fact that I'm on there to make money and help people. That's why I'm there. Not to sit there and have no one come on or if they do come on needing help then they usually get taken by someone 1st.

2. Other Guides taking my business so I can't get any business!: Basically again, you sit there and you wait for someone to ask a question. This question goes to many guides that are logged on. And you have to hit accept really fast or your question goes to some other guide. And if your not answering questions and looking stuff up then your not getting paid! And this is a big PAIN! Seriously. I always seem to get questions that happen to go to other people! This makes me upset and irate! Yes I said Irate! I want my cash! I want to help people! I don't wanna fight my fellow coworkers on getting the bait on my fishing line. SO please Cha Cha fix it!

3. Pranks, Pranks and oh yeah, MORE PRANKS!: On Cha Cha all it seems is that I get prank after prank. And it is nonstop. Now of course this is saying I get a question and I'm accepted to answer it. Then I get a person asking about porno. Or the best one I love, they ask me out or ask me what I'm wearing. Cha Cha is helping this. I heard they are going to permanently block people that keep pranking. Pranks aren't fun. Ok, well some might be, but NOT on Cha Cha! It's annoying. So if you use Cha Cha, please don't prank us. Oh and it's gone to be as bad that disgruntled question askers have stalked some Cha Cha guides.

All in all my time as a Cha Cha guide has been fun and fulfilling. I've met a lot of fun people that I would call friends. They are sweet caring and helpful. The company is great. And I would say if you ever have the chance to be a Cha Cha guide GO for it! Cha Cha is a smart and helpful idea with a few hang ups. But again this idea is really new and not heard of by many. I'm sure that in 5 years people all over will be using Cha Cha as there #1 search engine, because it's a great idea and it's like having an assistant or an extra pair of hands and eyes when your doing a project and you need a little help. Plus while your having someone look stuff for you, you can keep your self busy with what your working on!

- The above was another article submitted by me to Associated Content. And they refused to post it due to the fact they said it looked like it promoted Cha Cha!... OK!

~ An En lighting Conversation about Space Aliens ~

2007-11-15T14:28:00.000-08:00

~An Enlighting Conversation about Space Aliens~

Do you believe in Aliens or other life forms that might roam the planet? If you do or don't you still might want to read this. There are thousands of people all over the place that believe they have been indeed abducted by aliens. Have you been? Well I'm not making fun of anyone. Seriously I believe just about anything can happen on this crazy planet. So with that said, make sure you follow these simple common since rules if you happen to be all alone on a dark road and you find your self encountering more than you bargained for!

If in shock run don't walk!: Ok people! This is a big thing! This is like one of the most biggest things in the world. If you see a UFO and your in your car, then drive off as soon as possible. Don't be like the people on tv that are abductees. They say: "I saw this pretty light and I wanted to see what it looked like up close!" Or such things like, "I wanted to see what it was all about." You've heard the stories. You know what it wants to do. Don't get out of the car. Drive off. And drive off fast. Because chances are if you see this thing, then you know what it's gonna do to you. It's just sitting there waiting like a spider to catch it's bait.

~ But the colors are sooo alluring! ~

Uhhh Yeah. You think it's gonna catch a person without it's pretty alluring colors. Ummm no. Most people are smart enough to not go near something that is ugly and not colorful. They know this. So realize it's all trickery! All of it I say! Forget about the pretty colors. And under no circumstance go outside of the vehicle. Anyways why is your Vehicle still there? Like shouldn't you have drove away by now? Forget about the pretty colors! Seriously! Go look at Christmas tree lights for pretty colors!

~ But my friend already got out of the car! ~

AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Oh, this calls for disparate measures. You want to get your friend fast. Like I mean, super sonic fast. Like get out of the car only to retrieve your friend. Throw him in the car. And drive that baby the heck out of dodge. But whatever you do, whatever you do.. DO NOT STAY out of the car long! NO! Then you will get ration burns and also you'll start to act crazy and pass out. All that junk. Then you'll be easier to take aboard there planetary hovering disk. And don't argue with your friend to get in the car. If they are like, "Wait, I wanna see this." Don't tell them no. Just throw them in the car and drive off. Remember they will thank you later for it.

~ Tried to do, but the Car won't start. ~

Ok. Don't panic. You have to try the car 2 more times. But fast. Like make a bunny and do it fast. Like really fast. Like hurry. Try it 2 more times. If it doesn't work on the 2nd time. It's time to vacate the car ASAP. Yes, they will find you in the car. Let's not be stupid! And you don't wanna wait in the car long. Sure you might get abducted if you go outside the car, but come on, at least make them have to search to find you. The longer you stay in the car your like a sitting duck! Yes a sitting duck. They know right where to find you. You're right there. Yes right there! UGH! So hurry. Fast now! Right now! And hide in a tree or behind bushes. Anything. Or a house or shed whatever you can find near you. It is still a slim chance, but it's better than sitting there.

~Tried not to panic, but I saw one moving in the Craft~

Oh this is really bad. This is like, you know now that Aliens exist and they are here. So this is like time to forget about the fears and run. Go hide like I said in the above. Hide, Hide. Do it now!

~ OK, I hid. I think they are gone now! ~

You think? What! What's this about think? Your not supposed to be thinking at a time like this. How do you know they are gone? Have you ever been in this situation before? Do you know how long aliens wait before they stop looking for someone? NO I didn't think so. I don't either, but before you make your self known at least wait longer. Like a lot longer. Maybe till morning if you have to. Like morning when there is light. And a lot of light out. I'm not saying aliens still won't take you in the morning. But it's a lot harder for them to hide and more people could easily see you. So make sure that you wait it out till you can at least see.

~It's not morning yet,
but there are people talking. Can I come out now? ~

What kind of people? Do you hear voices? I'm confused. How long have you been waiting. Voices. How do you know they are people voices? Did you know aliens can act like people! So don't trust anything right now. They are playing with your mind people!

~ It's morning. I think I can come out now. ~

Ok if you are 100% sure the coast is clear. Then go to your car, but hurry. If they are really gone your car should start up. Does it start up? If so this is a good clue the aliens are gone and you can make it to your destination.

~ Yep, the car starts. But I can't find my friend! ~

UGH! Well you were supposed to take your friend with you to hide! You hid all night without your friend? What kind of friend are you? That's ok. Don't panic. Jump out of the car really fast look around for your friend for a couple of minutes and if that fails. Yell friends name! Friend should come if friend is not abducted!

~ Ok, my friend heard me. They are in the car now too. ~

Oh then! Get the show on the road! GO GO GO! And whatever you do, make sure to never to go back to the place you were at where you saw the UFO ever again less it is 100% necessary!

I hope some of the tips helped you. Remember this is for entertainment purposes only with some good ideas. If you are really ever abducted by aliens or find your self in situation where it might arise I can not tell you 100% that these tips will help you in you situation. And if you decide to get out and take pictures in hopes of fame and fortune, then your luck is all in your own hands at that one.

Also be warned I am not responsible for your actions. Just tips people! Just good advice that is all I have to offer. And if you get out and approach the ufo then know in good faith you might just be abducted by the aliens... Ok with that said. Have fun and Godspeed.

Charge your Ipod with Onion & Gatoraide ??

2007-11-10T18:26:00.000-08:00

~ Charge your Ipod with Onion & Gatoraide ?? ~

What, what? You heard correctly. I have not tried this experiment. However, they do it on youtube! And if they do it on youtube, it has got to be good right? I do not know. But, I know that if I would decide to use this or do this I would make sure to use a crappy iPod cord. But, this is certainly good if it does work. Just think of all the people that will be stalking up on Gator Aide and onions in case of a world wide nature disaster iPod's around the world will see be working ;)

And for just 2 cups of Gator Aid and an onion! I will keep this idea in my mind if I happen to need to use it ever! Who, knows right??? And Gator Aide and an onion! Geez, I have that in my house almost at all times.

With out further ado, I give you the video:

I know you probably know who I am talking about right? Who does not? Everyone by now knows who Salad Fingers is right? IF you do not, I will show you. He is an.. well he is an... I have no clue what the hell he is. A person, alien or thing. But, he resembles both a person/alien in a Yoda green color. Here is his picture:

Seen him around??

Here are some more funny photos of him:

And if you are still with me through all that then you really are a trooper. And you deserve to watch the 1st show of Salad Fingers. If you want more, however after this one... Just look him up on youtube. There is an array of videos featuring the young chap made by: David Firth.

I should know. I have been an avid Salad Fingers fan since the 1st episode came out on New Grounds such a long time ago .......

A small rant about the dating scene...

2007-11-05T01:25:00.000-08:00

~ A small rant about the dating scene... ~

I do believe I will share this with you. If not you then who right? I am not doing the dating scene at all. I do believe I posted a profile a couple weeks after my ex kicked me out. I was just seeing what and who is out there. Right. Well, a whole lot of nothing. I do have a plenty of fish (dating) site account. They are free so they are the ones I have stuck with. I tried them and Yahoo.

Anyhow, I had clearly marked on the account that I only want email friends or friends to hang out with. Since I know I am not going to date for many and shall I stress many moons from now. Other reasons, as to why I will not date I will not tell you. Since it is another personal matter and instead of lying and tip toeing around the cracks I will just tell you I will not tell you. LOL! Make sense? If you have read anything about me, it should make crystal clear since.

ANYWAYS...

The Rant continues .... I have men from all walks of life asking me to go off with them or meet them or to do one night stands. And if you read this bucko, you know who you are... 42.. that is a laugh. I must elaborate on this one:

I got a message from a man, claiming to be 42. In his picture he looked 82, NO LIES. He was an older man. Why lie and say your 42? He wrote me asking if I liked older men, and that he really wanted to GET TO KNOW ME! Please!

Ok, so with the old man maybe he did not get to read my profile. Maybe he did not understand. He was old. Maybe he really thinks he is 42. But, these men out there. And dear, I am not superficial in the least! I am down to Earth and I give everyone a fair shot. God, you should see my ex's. You would know. LOL. J/k.

So, I have come to say, I am not dating or doing anything serious for the longest time. Except under one circumstance. And that is what you do not get to know about...

~ A whole lotta friChik! ~

2007-11-02T01:10:00.000-07:00

~ A whole lotta FriChik! ~

I just wanted to make a quick note and explain this too you. Soon, you will hear me rambling about it and I want you to know what it is, and what it is not.

The Item: FriChik

What it is: Fake Chicken (Food)

What it is NOT: Real Chicken, meat

More Info:
Frichik, the lovely meatless varity that I plan on utilizing into my meal on Thanks Giving. It is vegitarian, but not Vegan. I believe it has egg whites in it??? It has been around for the longest time. I was raised on it. I should know. My mom she ate it when she was a girl too. So, as I stated... It has been around for the longest time.

I wanna show you this picture of a can of it. It is extremely hard to find in Indiana. The nearest place that sells it is about 2 hrs away. Kroger used to sell it. However, Kroger pisses me off they stopped selling it. Blast KROGER!

How it is cooked: Well I assume you could make it all sorts of ways. This is how my mom makes it, thus this is the way I make it.

Open can of Frichik, drain juices.
Have a plate of Kentucky Kernal Flour (It is flour with seasons.)
Cut frichiks into halves.
Dip in flour and fry in pan with oil or deep fryer.

Very easy to make. And GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

I just discovered whilst looking for a photo for you that frichik has a myspace. Yes, everyone really does have a Myspace!! Well, too bad frichik had not signed on since March 2007! UGH! Sign on Betch! And no, I did not make this myspace page. I am so happy now that I am not the only one that knows about frichik. And now you know about it too :)

I just love this song. I really do. I think it rocks. Try and find a better song.. Go and try it!!! :)
No, I know there are better songs out there. I just love the lyrics and they remind me of Hall -o- ween, so another reason I added it..

~ Blink 182 - Miss You ~

Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
We'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends

Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (miss you miss you)

Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)

AND just for the record I do not miss my ex... ewwwwww ;)

The Scariest of All!

~ The Scariest of All! ~

PETs In Hall -o- ween Costume !!!!

Wow, this is the scariest of all the poor pets. They are cute, but still. You have to wonder if they like it or not. I think not. Still cute! And scary at the same time. Some are cute though!!!

Awww, But I do not wanna Grow up!

2007-10-21T15:52:00.000-07:00

~ Awww, But I do not wanna Grow up! ~

Ugh! Growing up can suck some times huh? I recently found out the best prank call machines! And, now that I am grown and responsible I can not prank people! I used to be a rather good phone prankster in my day as a girl. I remember, my cousin and I calling people on the nice summer days doing our, "Cheese Survey." Yes, we would call people with our paper full of questions asking people what kind of cheese they liked and if it made them have gas or gave them constipation. Of course, the funny questions neared the end after we already got the people believing we were really doing a survey.

Ahhh the missed days of youth. Carefree and well.. fun! Who am I kidding? Anyways, we did not have a computer back then and we did not have what the kids of this generation have in pranking, of course we did not have caller ID then and no *69. So identity was still pretty well kept. We did not have to worry about our parents getting a call from someone asking why we called them about a "fake" cheese survey.

But, if your a kid or an adult that decides to act like one, I have some toys for you. They are called soundboards and boy do they come in an array of voices you can use. From Arnold to almost any and everyone that talked in a movie or on radio. Seriously, even if you are not going to do prank calls just listening too them might make you laugh!!!

Here are some of the best soundboards I have found:

http://www.soundboardz.com/
Has many sound boards such as:

Paris Hilton
Miss Cleo - The fake psychic
Michael Jackson
Judge Judy
John Wayne
Dr. Phil
Tom Cruise
Salad Fingers- My fave :)
Dr. Evil
Satan
And Many more on the site!!

Have fun listening!!!

My Myspace was Hacked!!!

2007-10-15T12:19:00.000-07:00

~ My Myspace was Hacked!!! ~

And boy am I mad? I used to have a great myspace page. I have had my account for over 2 years. It was a great page with a lot of friends that I would talk to frequently. There ended up being a lot of drama with a small circle of online friends that I talked too. So, I resigned from their stupid club. Anyways... I hate drama. So, I just cut myself off from them. And, I guess they knew a lot of my other friends too or had some sort of connection.

Anyhow, I took off all my friends and only left family and real people or friends I knew in real life. I thought this would solve the problem. Well, now my myspace account was hacked into and everyone that was on my list of people I know only in real life, got a retarded comment telling them they could get a free Macy's Giftcard in the value of $500.00.

So, with me not knowing this happened, I got a ton of emails from people I know asking and wondering why I would spam there myspace page with stupid fake stuff. I looked at there comments and indeed there was a comment from me. So, I had to mail everyone back and make an ebullition telling everyone I was hacked and that I was sorry they got spammed and to please delete the comment the "fake" me made.

That myspace page is no longer used. And, I made a new one. I really have not had much time or care to put a lot of effort into it like I had the last one. I think myspace is good for keeping in touch with actual people you know. And it is good to make friends. Just stay away from the drama. And even if your not into the drama it can still follow you with hackers!!!

I just can not dump the egg and milk products! GEEZ! Get off my back! ;)

How do you get free stuff?

2007-10-10T11:55:00.000-07:00

~ How do you get free stuff? ~

Think you can not get free stuff? Wrong. Now, I am not saying all those adds are real that say free Ipods. I tried them back in the day when they 1st came out. Can you say, "FAKE??" So, if something looks too good to be true than it probably is right? Usually those free sites that promise big things just want your email address and info.

But, there are sites out there that do really give you free stuff. It usually is not something all that big. It can vary from a shirt, a sample or a coupon for a free full sized product. And there is a great site that I go to find out all the legitimate free stuff to sign up with.

It is called Fatwallet. It is more like a messageboard/webforum. People post freebies and sales on there. So you can get the best free junk and what not. You might just make a couple of friends on there as well. So here is the website. Check it out!!!

Pretty Freekin Scary, and I like it!

2007-10-01T13:02:00.000-07:00

~ Pretty Freekin Scary, and I like it! ~

I have no clue if I am the only one that found this or not. I really have not seen a lot about it on the internet. But, I love and I do mean love these. The products are called Pretty Freekin Scary, and yes Freekin is misspelled on purpose. Anyhow, they have different products with the brand and logo which also has a little goth boy, a girl, a voo doo doll and a bat/cat skull animal.

LOL! Your probably thinking I am off my rocker. Well, I happen to come across these in the Walmart clearance isle. Everything was dirt cheap so I bought some of the things as prizes for the Hall -o- ween party I have planned. And they are cute stuff. Like there is this paper lantern, and it comes with a little fake candle light that will not cause a fire. It cost $3.00 normally it was $7.00 I believe. I also got a journal with the boy on it, it was $1.50. It is cool. It has a magnetic closure on the front. And I bought a keychain for me, with the bat/cat skull animal. The keychain cost$1.76.

Anyways, these are all the pictures I could find with the logo and the boy, but you might understand what I am saying when you see it. I do not know if he is a cartoon or just a logo with toys made after him.

Let us talk about Choplets

2007-09-25T17:34:00.000-07:00

~ Let us talk about Choplets! ~

No, not chocolates ---->

CHOPLETS------->

What are they?: They are a Fake meat source!

What are they made of?: Vegetable Protein.

How do they taste?: Very Good

How do you eat them?: There are a couple of ways to eat a choplet. My mom some times cooks them in mushroom sauce and makes a mushroom gravy for them. The other way to eat them, my favorite way to eat them, is to drain off the juices, and flour them in Kentucky kernel seasoning and fry them in a pan or deep fryer.

What do you do with them after that?: Well, then I usually make a sandwich out of them. Add some miracle whip to a whole wheat bun and baby, you have your self a sandwich!

Choplets.. the fake porkchop you can feel good about serving ;)

Liam, Liam... Why must you make these videos that make me laugh so much that I almost wet myself. "Kelly" the twin from hell is at it again.

Watch, out at the end... you must get a full view of the top to see why Kelly wants to borrow it!!! It makes me say, "I wanna borrow that top!!!"

This is why I am glad I do Not Smoke ...

2007-09-15T21:57:00.000-07:00

~ This is why I am glad I do Not Smoke! ~

I know you might smoke and enjoy it. I have known many people in my life that smoke and continue to. I do believe I will show this video to everyone I know that smokes. If you do, this should be good motivation to stop. I do not want to hear the BS about, it is so hard to quit. If you really wanted to quit you would. But, I am not gonna bitch you out about it. As long as I do not have to smell it and ingest it then so be it, as long as you are hurting yourself right?

Just make sure if you smoke and you have young kids or pets, PLEASE go outside and do it or some where far away from them. They do not need to have to be sitting ducks to this horrid trend.

I follow the X

2007-09-10T16:12:00.000-07:00

~ I follow the X, X marks my Spot ~

I am sure I have already intrigued you enough and you might wonder why someone my age would decide to live a lifestyle where one prefers not to indulge in alcohol and fun right!

To me it is not fun! I have been down that road. And it is a useless one.
My story goes:

Every since I was young I knew I did not want to be part of the drug scene. My mother had told me that it was no good. And I realized what people did in the drug scene. Get wasted, pass out and then go and do it again the next day or a couple days later.

Where was the fun in that? I never saw anything fun in it at all. And when I figured out this is how most people lived there lives I realized that I did not want to partake in it at all. I never had a crave for it. I never wanted to do it at all. I had been offered or known people that did drugs, alcohol or smoked all my life growing up. And I decided that was not what I wanted.

When I turned 18 however, I decided to try smoking. It was short lived. I again had no views on it. When I turned 21, however I was camping with an old boyfriend and his family. They had beers and they gave me 3. I drank them and I was drunk for the 1st time. It was not a very good thing. I was up to the bathroom in the woods, (it was in a park, the bathroom was in a building) all night.

So, this began me to start drinking for a little while. Till, I got pregnant with my 1st daughter. I did not touch the stuff for the whole pregnancy. And I got pregnant at 22. I again started to drink again after she was 6 or 7 months old. I would just have a couple beers on weekends usually at that point. Nothing super hard, less I went out to eat and my ex husband was driving, that hardly happened though. Usually I had to be the sober one to drive since he was a big drunk addict.

So, I then got pregnant with my 2nd daughter at 25. And this time I decided to not drink anything ever again. And it is something that I have stuck with. I feel better about myself. And I wish that I would not have taken in to all the so called people in my life.

They are no longer in my life of course. Sooo, with that said. My ex lost his respect for me when I decided to stop drinking. Crazy huh? Funny, how when you have no common ground everything falls apart.

...My Vegetarian Views...

2007-09-06T18:33:00.000-07:00

...My Vegetarian Views...

I get asked a lot of times by a lot of people why I am a vegetarian. Yes, I do. Seriously. I know that some people do not understand my views. I will try to tell you more so about them.

I believe that animals should not be eaten. I do however use milk and products that contain eggs. I am not a vegan (VEGANiSM - No Dairy or use of animal products.) I did used to be a vegan when I was 21. I practiced that way of living for a little over a year. It is a good way to live. I might some day again adapt to it. I ended up stopping it, because I got married and he was a major meat eater and due to the fact of not having enough money to sustain that lifestyle to create meals for everyone.

Yes, eating healthy is expensive. You really do not have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out. So, I have became a vegetarian yet again. And this time it is for keeps. I promise. And if I do get with someone later down on the road, he will have to be one as well.

Is that mean? I think not. Because, you do become like the people you hang out with or the people you are around all the time. And I realized that the last time with my ex, he just had no interest in me when the common ground was dissolved. I mean when I became sXe and I no longer drank like he did, he looked upon me as someone else, other than someone that bettered herself. I will go more into this in my sXe post. Since you are all wondering about that as well...

Anyhow, back to my views on Vegetarianism. I think that it is horrible how animals are treated. How they are killed and bread just for humans to eat. I mean if you think about it what if the world was ruled by someone bigger and better than us that just killed us for food. That would suck!

Also, not to mention the sickness they involve. Yes, they involve sickness, I am sure if you watch the news or tv you have heard about someone getting some sort of animal related sickness from eating all this...

Not only is it kind to practice vegetarianism it is better for your over all health. As for wearing animal made products. I do try to make sure that everything I wear has no animal product in it. IE: No leather, suede, fur or such. You get the point. I do not and would not kill an animal for fashion! It is nasty and gross!!!!

So, there are my views... Now you know why!!! :)

~ Blaqk Audio: Cexcells!!!!! YAY! ~

I have been waiting for this CD forever. And I am glad it is finally here! Yay! I went to Best buy and got my copy today. It included the extra track called Mute. You could only get that extra track at Best Buy.

So, is it good? It is fabulous. If you have no idea who Blaqk Audio is then you need to know.
They are a duo of 2 guys:

Davey Havok and Jade Puget both of AFI.

This music is not like AFI however, whose genre of music has changed over the years. AFI, used to be a Punk Band early when they started, but have slowly moved out of their punk phase, and into more of a rock band.

Blaqk Audio however, is elecronica. And it is mostly synthesizers, keyboards and computer based, with the vocal talents of Davey Havok added to the mix.

The music is of course AMAZING! So I recommend you go out and pick up a copy ASAP!

Single and Loving it....

2007-06-15T14:31:00.000-07:00

~ Single and Loving it.... ~

I never realized how good it can feel to be single. You see, I have never really been single. I have been in long relationship after another since I was 16. There are good things about that and bad things as well.

Some of the good things of being in a relationship I miss:

Not having to sleep alone.
Having another adult to talk to.
Having someone say, "I love you."
The good times, because even though there are bad times, there are always good times too.
I miss the house.
I miss the space in the house.
I miss the delusion of thinking I will be with this man forever.

Things I so do not miss:

Having a guy think he knows everything.
Being ignored.
Talking and still being ignored.
Having a guy play endless hours of video games.
Having to cook all the meals he likes, even the ones with meat.
Did I mention being ignored.
Watching what he wanted to watch on tv 100% of the time.
Fake hugs.

I really do not miss this thing called a relationship at all!

~ It is over, but I am Not so Sad ... ~

2007-06-05T14:10:00.000-07:00

~ It is over, but I am Not so Sad ... ~

I know it was in the making a long time coming. I really did. My husband and I have decided to separate. And I would rather not tell all the gory details. He cheated, he kicked me and the girls out. That is all I am sharing with people that do not know me personally.

It is sad. I have no idea what to do next. I knew it was going to happen soon. I just hope he gets his act together and he understands that there are 2 kids involved. I really would like him to play a part in the kids lives, but the sad fact is that he has mental issues that really need resolved. I only hope they can be resolved.

He feels that if he has to have excitement and he finds that in different relationships I suppose. I have now moved in with my parents. And, I have to figure out what to do. If I would have foreseen this coming way back then, I so would not have gotten married. It is a big mess. Would I get back with him again. Umm, NO, NEVER! And I mean that and stand by it.

Not only for the fact is he crazy, he likes to cheat. I guess you can say he did not cheat as of yet. It was a planned cheating. As in there were plans to meet this person to cheat. HAHA! In my book it is cheating. And for the fact that he threw us out in the middle of the night, 10:30pm.

It just makes me feel like a loser. I really picked a loser partner. I feel like I should have seen the signs and made a break for it long ago. And the fact I did not makes me feel ashamed. I knew it was over at least a 2 years ago. I just refused to see it and deny it. We had recently gotten a new house, so I thought everything was going great. Looks like I was wrong. So, I am not really sad. A little sad. But, I am glad not to be with him anymore.

Scary Feelings

2007-05-14T16:06:00.000-07:00

~ Scary Feelings ~

It's one of the most incredible things when you see your life flash before your eyes. I was stopped at a train light last night, but I didn't see a train coming, because it was dark, and the way there are homes and trees right next to the train tracks.

The most scary feeling in my life! Because I almost went till I saw the tracks and the a$$ behind me had pulled up right on my bumper so I couldn't pull back. I was really close to the train that started to come too. And no there are no arms that come down on this stupid track.

In fact a lot of people have died on this track, because there are no arms that tell you the train is coming and the lights trip a lot telling people there is a train when there really isn't one. So it's kinda a you have no idea if the train is there till the train is there. Less you have all the time in the world to wait and see if a train really does come.

I had the worst feeling. Though. I felt like I got hit by the train. I felt it hitting me and crushing me and I felt like I was sad and distressed. It was so horrible! I felt and heard my car getting torn up and being dragged by the train. Then I felt all my family and the tears and sadness they had for me as if I had died.

It was SOOOOOOOOO strange. And I hope nothing like this ever happens to me again! What a great way to start the weekend huh?

Product Review for Sony Cyber Shots Camera

2007-04-18T15:36:00.000-07:00

~ Product Review for Sony Cyber Shots Camera ~

Ok, I thought I would try to post a product review this time, since I am:

A - Bored.
&
B - Why not.

And C - I am not getting paid to write this.

I am just bored. So I thought one days I wanted to write I would write about items and things I use in my normal every day life.

So, the Sony Cybershots camera is what I mainly use. I have had this camera for a couple of years. It looks like this:

And any time you have seen me take a picture that I have taken, it was taken with this camera. IE: The concert and trip pictures.

I have had my fair share of digital camera's. And dear let me tell you, why this one is number 1 in my book thus far.

You see Christmas 2005 if you know my story, my daughter did not get any photos taken due to the fact I could not find the charger, to our OLD camera. So, she had to suffer with no pictures. This camera that will not happen. Yes, I could loose this charger, but it takes regular batteries as well.

This camera also takes Rad video. And the video has sound! Most of my friends and people I talk to about it are shocked. I guess a lot of people have camera's that take video with no sound. LOL! I felt like an idiot, because I thought all camera's that took video had sound as well!!! LOL!

Well, this one does. So, I know mine is a could years old right now. I am sure they have better ones out as of now. But, for now I am sticking with mine!!!!

It is my 4th wedding anniversary. I have been married for 4 years. Wow, that really flew by fast. It seems just like yesterday we were getting married...

Well, it was 4 years ago, not yesterday.

I think we'll go out to eat tonight?? Perhaps. Who knows what he has planned. Probably nothing? Usually I am the one that has to plan these things. Guys right? They never plan. And honey, if you have a guy that plans... KEEP HIM!!!

And everything was back to, normal... Well Almost

2007-02-15T17:51:00.000-08:00

~ And everything was back to, normal... Well Almost ! ~

We got back a couple days ago. I had video and all that jazz! The concerts were great. So, was Memphis, Columbus and Cincy. Except, for the bitter cold in all places. Well, what do you expect it was Winter right???

Let me not tell you how it was.... Let me show you in Pictures :)
~Memphis, TN ~

This Jack -in- The box
was not really in Memphis,
just on the way...

You know this guy!

Yes, we were far this time :(

~ Cincinnati, OH ~

No Pictures as of yet. SORRY!! We were far so I just took Video! LOL! We got Balcony again!!!

~ More Surprises.. ~

2007-01-20T14:40:00.000-08:00

~ More Surprises.. ~

Yay! I get to go to another concert! Yes, I get to go to one in Memphis, TN now! How, did this all come about? Well, my husband said that he wanted to go and eat at Jack In The Box since there are none in Indiana, where we live. He is from Vegas and apparently that is all he ate when he lived there.

So, there are NO Jack in the Boxes in Ohio. So, Jack saved me. He wanted to go to Chicago, but I explained to him that would be stupid to back track all that ways. So we should just go to Memphis. Makes a good deal to me. So, I got tickets for the AFI show in Memphis, TN.

And I get to have a meet and greet there as well. Yay! So, it was all good that he wants his Jack in the Box. It is his vacation too, and if I have to let him have his fun going and getting what he wants than so be it. I will have a lot of fun as well.

Straight Edge hate On Geraldo

2007-01-15T16:55:00.000-08:00

~ Straight Edge hate On Geraldo ~

I am talking about this video:

My Views on this:

I really do not like this video and this interview. Why does the media only pick up bad things about sXe? I live in Indiana. And the area I live in, I have never heard of it as a gang at all. This was really the 1st time I heard of any hate crimes related to it.

The thing that really makes me angry about this is how sXe is now looked bad upon due to a few stupid teens doing horrid things. The matter of the fact is lets just find something bad that sXe people did. Let us not talk about the gangs that use violence every single day and they are on drugs or some other sort of influence.

That is the media for you. What I would rather see on the media, is something dedicated to people doing good acts of kindness or something in that nature. I think all the media needs to get off the negative thinking bandwagon. I do not partake in watching tv due to this fact. Tv, harms your positive though processes. If you watch enough tv, you will eventually become sad and depressed. And that is the truth!

They have not been filed yet, but I am waiting!!! I have already gotten my tickets and I am waiting! Waiting for what you might ask??? To go to OHIO! Yay! I know, I am a nerd! Get over it! My husband asked me where I wanted to go with the tax checks and I said that I wanted to go to see AFI play live. So, we are going to Columbus and Cincinnati Ohio in February to see AFI and stay at hotels and all that jazz!!

I can not wait. It will be soooo much fun. And for the matter of fact, no kids for a week! I can sleep in late and not worry about kids! Ahhhh. I so can not wait. So, we are going to be doing the tax checks at the beginning of February. And, then off we go to watch the band play!!! Yay! I can not wait! Sounds amazingly fun!

I know it will be fun. So, how have you been doing? What is up with you? I bet your waiting for your tax check just as I am!! Of course you are!!! Who is not????

~ The New Year was Rang in... ~

If you wonder what I was doing last night, let me tell you. I was at home watching MTV's New Year show. Yes, it was fun. No, I was not drunk. I know you might not know this about me, but I do not drink, at all. I do not do drugs nor do I smoke. Completely sXe. Yes, yes I am. So, I was sober as can be.

My husband on the other hand was knocked out asleep, because he does not like to stay up. Ugh. So, I did not even have anyone to kiss at midnight. How sad is that? Oh, well. My kids even went to bed early. They wanted to stay up, but they just could not.

So, alone as usual. I myself watched the MTV New Year's! It was great though. AFI played whilst the ball dropped. Here is the video of what you missed:

~ On the 4th day of Shopping... My truelove bought for me...~

~ On the 4th day of Shopping... My truelove bought for me...~

It is officially the 20th of December and I am sure that all the slackers in the world are not worried about getting presents for there family and friends. Why, should they? They still have 4 days left. And as everyone knows the best day to go shopping is December 24th, before everything closes early! That is how my parents did it. And always the best presents were sold out at the store long before.

Well, I on the other hand do not have to worry about this for my kids. I have a whole closet filled with Brand New toys so they can have Christmas every year till they are teens. Girls, stop playing with Barbies at 10 to 13 right? Well, I have enough to surpass that stage then. In fact usually 10 or younger girls will start wanting more electronic stuff. I remember when I was a girl. And a simple Barbie or 2 would excite me beyond belief! I would play for days with different sinarios and never get bored.

Who could get bored with Barbie and all her clothes and friends! Common' ! So, with that said, whilst the rest of the world worries about what to by Johnny. I already have the presents under the tree. I think I will go have a glass of Hot cocoa and sit stress free :)

Till after the Holidays, And may yours be Merry!!!

Will I even remember?

~ Will I even remember? ~

This Christmas I am making sure to get a ton of pictures of the girls! My girls that is. Last year I could kick myself in the butt for years to come. You see, we had this old digital camera and my other daughter was not born yet, so it was my oldest daughter's last Christmas alone. And the charger to the old digital camera was no where in site!!!

So the battery could not be charged! So, no charged battery meant no pictures. So, my daughter had no pictures of her opening her Christmas pictures. And, you know the sad thing is I can not remember her opening the presents at all!

Does that not suck! I can not remember that in just about a year I can not remember what she got or her opening the presents! UGH! I am sure she will not remember it at all! Here is the sad part, I have a great memory! But, as I am getting older it is fading. And that makes me sick. I could remember any and everything.

I hate getting old! Can I stress that again, I hate getting old. And everyone says, "You're not old!" Makes me wonder when they will start saying I am old. When does that happen? When do people stop saying, "You're not old?"

I am kind of afraid it will happen soon...

And the Christmas Trees were Up!

2006-11-30T17:35:00.000-08:00

~ And the Christmas Trees were Up! ~

Yes, Thanksgiving ended yet too soon! And I can not believe it has been a week since it has been said and done. Wow, I have been busy! And yes, Black Friday was a big shopping day yes indeed. I had problems with the whole ordeal let me elaborate on shall I?

The Objective: To get an iPod ------->

Location:

Where I reside from there are a chain of supermarket/clothing stores (think Walmart), but the store is called Meijer (pronounced Meyer). Well, since the iPods were a rather big hit this year with the 80 gigs of music and video fun, Meijer decided that there "Black Friday" sale would include these for the ever cheap whooping $250.00 in your choice of black or white!

My parents knew I wanted one for Christmas so they gave me the money to purchase one! So, at 10:30pm on Thanksgiving (since there sale starts at midnight!) My brother and I went to the lovely Meijer to purchase my iPod. So, we got there and the line was horrid. Seriously, I had not seen this many people in such a long time. They started telling people to get in a single file line. So people started to. And we waited for a while, when we at 10 till Midnight we were informed that they had, had a limited amount of iPod's, however due to a stupid employee giving them out at 9:00pm on Thanksgiving to the price to the 1st people that came there they were no longer in stalk and THEY WOULD NOT BE GIVING RAINCHECKS!

There was a fight with all the people. Geez, I could not make this shit up if I wanted to. It was funny and both a let down at the same time! So, laughing in the inside I also expressed my words vocally and the people got in little groups. We formed a circle and I came up with the ideas, and a big mouthed lady vocally expressed them very loudly! We were all told to please leave less there was something else we wanted to purchase. So with all the people expressing how they would not purchase anything from there ever again. Ahhh... Funny how it is!

So, my brother and I decided we might have better luck at another Meijer! We went to 4 more. All with the same story, of them being out! So, I remembered that Walmart matches other stores prices. So, this girl called around to Walmarts. It was now, about 2:30am. So, a Walmart store finally picked up the phone and I explained it all the woman. She said, they would indeed honor it. I asked to make sure, because this Walmart was 40 minutes away and I wanted to make sure. They agreed that she was indeed positive that they would do it for me. However, when I arrived there the story had changed. And now, they told me that there was no way they would honor it and I was told to rudely leave. I explained that I had traveled far and I got a snare! So, they said all they could say is that were sorry I had been miss informed on the phone.

BLAH! So the next day I called the Walmart and spoke to the director of the Store, whom said that since it was a put in the Meijer add as a coupon they would not honor it. And we had a 30 minute phone interview. And he kept saying he could not do it. I said you are over the store, you can do it, if you wanted to do it. And I told him that he did not want a made customer, and they should not say they honor ads when they do not and blah blah, but you get the point!

Anyways he was rude and told me no. So, I called an hour later and talked to the manager over the electronics. And he said no, we talked for 15 minutes. So then, I called the store director and I argued about it again. He kept saying he could not do it. We talked another 15 minutes. Then he said he was busy. So then about another hour later I called again. LOL! This time he said he would take down my number and call me if the situation changed! Cha ching! We have a situation that might change! LOL! Something that they told me was no way and would not happen was about to happen.

So, in about a couple hours they called me back and said that they would indeed let me get an iPod today for $250.00. Yay! So I went and picked it up. LOL! Walmart hated me, but I got my way! And seriously, I made many great points how if they say they honor ad's they have to honor them or do not say it! It looks like this girl got it done for other people as well!!! They said that anyone else could get it that day as well! And I only had to call and negotiate 1 million times!!! :)
