I'm not really sure why I never stumbled upon these last year but these ten short videos by Clark Duke and Michael Cera are pretty much genius. I'm especially diggin' their clothing in the opening sequence and the bicker and banter between these two loveable guys. Not to mention I laughed out loud or rather LOLd when Clark was greeted with, "Miss, can I help you." Oh geez, you'll just have to see for yourselves. Go to: www.clarkandmichael.com if you ever have a few minutes to spare.
In other news things may start to be on the up and up for this little lassie. It's now up to myself to start letting myself be happy and to not let things worry or bother me as much. We'll see how that goes. Stay tuned.

A dash of Scientology a day keeps the doctor away...literally.
I don't know how they found me, but they did. Good old Tom Cruise and the boys of scientology have found me. Maybe I should consider myself blessed for the fact that someone has gone completely out of their way to mail me a lovely pink Oxford Capacity Analysis or rather OCA test. The OCA is 200 questions in length and from the range of questions like: Would the idea of inflicting pain on game, small animals or fish prevent you from hunting or fishing? Do you get occasional twitches of your muscles, when there is no logical reason for it? Do you have a tendency to tidy up a disorder of somebody else's household? I can only concluded that with answering some of these questions they ask with a "yes" means clearly that you are psycho murderer waiting to happen.
While I don't know much about the religion, I do know that watching their official videos online were creeping me out. Or maybe it was for the fact that watching these videos online was how I spent my time catching up with an old friend from undergrad. Anywho...I've been half tempted to complete my OCA test to find out how crazy these scientologist would claim I am. Perhaps joining their church would really benefit me like their videos say. Instead of getting all A's like one kid in their video, maybe I'd get a nice job and be successful and maybe, just maybe, I'd meet Tom Cruise. However, no need to worry I'm too much of a wuss to go through with the test and I'm also not too keen on the thought of being brainwashed and locked in a room.
In the rare case that people other than the two that I know whom might read this...Has anyone else gotten a scientology letter or am I just extremely special?

Drool Worthy!
Currently I am obsessed with the new Chanel Fall print ads with Claudia Schiffer in that hot black bob! Seriously, some of the most beautiful clothes I've seen in quite some time. I'm just a little upset for the fact that their awesome two toned white and black tights are running close to $400. I honestly think I was born with the intentions of being rich...however, rich I am not. A girl can dream, right? While I cannot find the print ads online for my favorite look I did find the dress online, so here are some photos of the amazingness that is Chanel this season.

There are 17 letters in your name.
Those 17 letters total to 89
There are 5 vowels and 12 consonants in your name.
What your first name means:Welsh Male From the hill.
Your number is: 8
The characteristics of #8 are: Practical endeavors, status oriented, power-seeking, high-material goals.
The expression or destiny for #8:
Your Expression is represented by the number 8. The 8 Expression is well-equipped in a managerial sense. You have outstanding organizational and administrative capabilities. You have the potential for considerable achievement in business or other powerful positions. You can expect to receive the financial and material rewards. You have the skill and abilities to establish or operate a business with great efficiency. You have good judgment when it comes to money and commercial matters, and you understand how to build and accumulate material wealth. Much of your success (or lack of it) may come due to your ability (or inability) to judge character. With the number 8 Expression, you exercise sound judgment in most of your affairs; you are realistic and practical in your approach to business matters.
The positive 8 Expression produces individuals that are very ambitious and goal-oriented. If the 8 energy is not in excess in your makeup, you will no doubt express these traits to some extent. No one has any more energy that a person with the 8 Expression who has a plan laid and is starting to work. No one has any more self-confidence, either. If you are expressing the positive qualities of 8, you are an outstanding manager because you can plan, initiate, and complete projects; you are very dependable and determined.
As it always happens, there can be too much of a good thing. If you have too much of the 8 energy in your makeup, you may express some of the negative attitudes. A negative 8 can be very rigid and stubborn. Ambition sometimes has a way of becoming over-ambition, and you may express an unreasonable impatience with the lack of progress. If your negative side is showing, you may be too exacting, both of yourself and of others. Sometimes this can even becomes a case of intolerance.
The number 8 is very materialistic and also very desirous of status and power. Neither of these drives are inherently negative unless they are taken to an extreme. You must avoid the tendency to strain after money, material matters, status, or power, to the detriment of the other important factors in your life.
Your Soul Urge number is: 4
A Soul Urge number of 4 means:
With the Soul Urge or Motivation number of 4 you are likely to strive for a stable life. You tend to follow a rather orderly pattern and systematic approach in your endeavors. You have an inner desire to serve others in a methodical and diligent manner. You want to be in solid, conventional, and well-regulated activities, and you are somewhat disturbed by innovation and erratic or sudden changes. Excellent at organizing, systematizing, and managing, you have a way of establishing order and maintaining it. You are responsible, reliable and in the final analysis, practical. Highly analytical, you can see your way through all sorts of situations and generally have a clear understanding of the issues. You are a very honest, sincere, and conscientious individual.
The negative side of the 4 is rigid, stubborn and somewhat narrow-minded. There is a tendency to hide feelings, or to really not be aware of real feelings. Avoid being too rigid and stubborn in your thinking, and try to always see the big picture rather than becoming to involved with the detail. Don't be afraid to take a chance once in awhile.
Your Inner Dream number is: 4
An Inner Dream number of 4 means:
You dream of being a very solid citizen that people can depend upon. You strive for organization and predictable order. You want to be recognized as a person with a plan and the discipline to make that plan work like clockwork.

Please tell me you did this too...
So while sifting through these old memories I found a real gem. Do you remember when we were all younger and the internet was still relatively a new concept for communication? Well, I hope that many of you out there shared the same past time as myself. I used to spend my days hanging out in chat rooms making fun of people...which then led itself to me posting an ad on a dating website, just for the hell of it. Seriously... with all the stuff I did in high school, I have no idea where I found to time to fit that into my schedule. However, I came across one of the pictures of a guy I had printed out from a dating website called kiss.com. Pathetic, I think not...Hilarious, I think yes!
To clarify, majority of the time I believe was spent making fake responses to send to dorky guys by my friends and myself. However, and quite sadly, once in a blue moon I took it seriously. Hence the picture I still have printed out...OMG. Apparently, there was a boy on this site that at the time was 22, I was 15 mind you, that I thought looked like a young Ben Affleck...and due to memory loss I don't know what happened, but I have a printed email from this dude and let me tell you...OMFG, sooooooooooo funny! Don't let looks fool you...that's tip numero uno and secondly, this guy was such an idiot. However, I vaguely remember being really impressed by him at the time because he was older and I thought he was cute. Needless to say, the guy went to I.T.T Tech, was a terrible speller and worked at a computer "plant" in Chandler. I'm sad to know that I don't have other older posts from what I used to spend my time doing, but no need to fear...I'm totally scanning this old email and picture onto this blog because frankly, it needs to be shared with the whole wide world.
If any of you have the same type of situation or hilarious internet story, please share! I can't wait to hear any old gems you might still have lingering around! God Bless the internet and most importantly, God bless the early years circa late 90s to 2003. Those years should go down in history as the funniest and most exciting times on the world wide web...seriously.

They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
- Andy Warhol -
Currently sitting at my parents house and sorting through many items that needed to be discarded long ago. I don't know if anyone else ever feels this way, but I feel like I've lived a million different lives, but have trouble recalling the memories of lives past. Its always humorous looking back at crazy times in your life and realizing how pointless and meaningless they all are in your current perspective. While at the time middle school seemed never ending and agonizing, it's now merely just a blip on the radar of life. High school, what some call the most important time of one's adolescent life, seems like a million years ago and many memories a blur. I can only imagine how quickly college memories will fade completely away. At 23, freshman and sophomore year of college are basically memories I can't recall...so I guess I have a tiny bit of time before junior and senior year are completely shoved to the inner filing cabinets of suppressed memories.
I guess the thing that really irks me the most about these past memories and sifting through the old notes, photos and mementos...sadly not mentos, is how naive and idealistic I once was. Thinking about and dwelling on the past is a tough thing to do... There is this huge part of me that would like to travel back to my high school self and give some helpful tidbits like: don't ever let someone emotionally bully you around, always stand up for yourself and others, try to find the good in people but don't try too hard, don't waste your time on people that don't treat you right, spend time with the people that do and most importantly, never let anyone make you feel bad about who you are.
While this huge part of myself wishes I could go back in time and advise my younger, very naive self to make these changes...that always leads to pondering about how much things would have changed in my life. While I had to go through some struggles back in the day, and wish I could have avoided some situations and people, I don't know if I'd really want to change the person that I am today. What if changing these situations that would have made me never meet the people I care most about, my best friends. Its just funny how the mind works...half the time you never even give things a second thought, but its a little tough when you're in a room full of memories that have been repressed that are starting to surface once again.
So with that, I just figured I might as well post some thoughts on taking a trip down memory lane...I would advise many to enjoy it as much as I did. My trip was only fun due to the paper shredder that has now been housed in my bedroom and has gone to very good use in the past few days! So with all of that, thank you to the people that put up with me and are there for me, you don't even know how much you all mean and how much I love you. I'm not one for these cheesy posts and memories...these are the things I normally made fun of, but hey, it's my blog after all....deal with it. The End.

Pet Peeve
Attention all celebrities!!! No one cares about your political views or who you're voting for, so SHUT UP. Most of you sound moronic when you talk about every day situations, so you think you sound more intelligent because you're talking about politics? Get a clue. Seriously stick to acting, singing or whatever else you can do remotely well and leave the political analysis and banter to the political professionals. (even though some of them sound stupid as well.) On the celebrity note...any person that is now comparing Obama to Jesus and Sarah Palin to Pilot...seriously, die. I hope one day you look back and hear how cult like and crazy you sound.
Since I don't really want to make this blog have any political reference or biases, I'll also just quickly and as kindly as I can say one last thing...
Speaking as a woman and a feminist myself, I am completely and utterly ashamed of where this country is going...especially in regards to how sexism is literally pouring out of every news outlet. I mean I guess it makes sense considering blacks got the right to vote before women, so therefore, blacks get more respect than women in this country when it comes to news coverage. However, I thought the media was supposed to be unbiased and to cover all aspects of the news, but I guess I was wrong.
The way the media is lashing out against Palin honestly makes me sick to my stomach. Whether its the criticism about her family, her clothes, etc, to even photoshopping her head to a sexy body, I can't help but feel really ashamed of how ignorant and disrespectful people in America still are. There is honestly a lot of hate out there and in the upcoming months before the election its going to keep getting uglier and uglier. This also brings me back to celebrities...if you don't like Palin or McCain, neat, just don't tell us. I know you all like to hear yourselves talk, so talk about yourself instead. Anywho...
As for all you so called feminists out there, where's the feminists love? No woman should bash Palin on the fact that she is a woman or a mother. I understand if people don't agree with her viewpoints, you don't have to, we're all entitled to our own opinions, but for the love of god respect the woman. How would you feel being the first official female nominee for Vice President and have everything and everyone doing what they can to tear you down?!? We should be proud of the fact that we at least have one woman being represented front in center of politics right now, even though its not the right woman per say. (Clinton) We need to be proud that women are finally being seen in the spotlight and while we may not fully agree with aspects of Palin's political views, we should encourage the media to at least analyze her as they do a man...on what she says and does, not on what she wears or how many children she has.
I guess enough with that. I'm honestly just upset with both parties but I'm especially ashamed and disappointed in the democratic party. Hey Democrats, stop following Obama like he's the leader of a cult and to be on the safe side, don't drink any punch at Obama events...ya never know. Also, to all those people making your bold claims about wanting to kill yourself, move etc if the Republicans do win, I hope you hold up on your end of the bargain if you don't get your way on election day!
As for me, the former Edwards staffer, feminist, democratic woman....I think I'm looking to the future and realizing that Obama isn't going to make it all better, only we are, if we grow up and learn how to be better and smarter people first.
Since I don't really want to make this blog have any political reference or biases, I'll also just quickly and as kindly as I can say one last thing...

Our little secret...
I've been having some "issues" with noise and scratching within my walls. I've got most people convinced its an animal...but I have to tell someone the truth. In all actuality, my little tiny house in the middle of Tucson is one of the main stops on the newly constructed underground railroad. I house all the Mexican midgets that can fit in my creepily small "attic". So if you have any extra corn husks, we're running low for this weeks tamales and could really use some. Please contact me for any donations you'd like to give. Gracias.

I can't think of one bad song that has a key change in it, can you? The two hits that come to mind rather quickly of good key change inspirations: Living on a Prayer -Bon Jovi (Whom shares my birthday) and Man in the Mirror -Michael Jackson.
I would love to hear of other goodies with key changes, but also I dare someone to name a bad song with a key change. I honestly think it's impossible.

Current Obsession: Blair Waldorf's wardrobe on GG Season 2
Despite the fact that the new Season of Gossip Girl is only 2 episodes deep, I have to say I am in awe of the fashion they've crammed into these two episodes. Whoever is the stylist for the show is literally a God/Goddess and needs to be my best friend and find me all these clothes as well. I loved Blair's clothes last year, but this season leaves me literally salivating and spending endless web searches trying to find out who the designers are. After doing a little digging these are some of my absolute favorite looks from the first two episodes and some that I could sneak a peak at, enjoy!
Fact
Jessica Simpson is a complete airhead.
Any talent she had left is completely gone to waste. She needs to STOP making music and most importantly STOP talking about her personal life. Newsflash: NOBODY CARES! I watched her sad excuse for a concert today via Perezhilton and all I could think was "how embarassing." This is a girl that needs to honestly find a man, settle down and then pop out some babies and stay traped in her house so no one has to deal with her.

Rant
I was really looking forward to the US Topshop website...but I'm kinda pissed about it now. The prices are exactly double that of the UK prices. I mean seriously, this store is amazing, but seriously?!?! Lets be frank...Topshop is just a Forever 21 with more selection (well if you're in the store.) So they need to lower the prices a tad bit. Do they really think I want to pay 50 dollars for items that are still either too trendy or not made very well? Hell no!! If I'm going to spend 100 plus dollars on a trendy dress, I'd rather spend a tad bit extra and shop at Nordstroms or something and get an actual designer dress. I was hoping the prices would be better and I could shop my little heart out....damn you Topshop, I'm pissed!!
Cheers!!!!!
I'd like to extend a "cheers" this week to a remarkable and breathtaking tale..."Ariel's Beginning."
I have to say this prequel to The Little Mermaid answered a lot of my previously established questions after seeing the film as a wee lass. I found out how Ariel's mother died, what Ariel's life was like growing up and most importantly it answered my question as to why King Triton's hair was so white. (Stress of having 7 daughters, naturally.)
However, while the story answered many questions it still left many a questions after the film was over.
1. How do mermaids have babies?
2. What makes it possible for mermaids and mermen to breathe in water and on land?
3. Can merpeople breed with other creatures?
4. Is there the same type of discrimination in their culture against things such as fish, whales, etc etc as there is in our society with races and sexes?
5. Is that a manatee or an extremely ugly side kick for the villian in this film?!
While many questions still arise, those were the ones that hit me hardest. I also will like to point out that the plot line for this movie would be extremely difficult for a young child to grasp. I mean what kid under the age of 10 is going to get the whole jist of a "speakeasy"? Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the major point of the movie... So....blah, blah, blah....some stuff happens and King Triton bans music in the kingdom....blah,blah,blah.....Ariel finds a speakeasy and discovers music again.....blah, blah, blah.....music returns and all is happy! (Promise I didn't totally spoil the movie.) Honestly Disney, I am impressed at your take on the plot line of Ariel's life but my jeer to this is - TONE IT DOWN. I don't want to think when I'm watching a Disney movie, okay! I don't need to then ponder our own prohibition on things, Footloose or any other conservative Baptist tale I can conjure up. All I know is you better not freakin ever make a prequel to Peter Pan. If you mess up my favorite Disney movie I'll be all up in your grill!!!! With that, The End.

Rant
Today has been a very long day...
My flashback/rant of the day was provoked from seeing a group of high schoolers this morning at around 8 am outside playing basketball for gym class. I know the goal of gym is to teach kids about being healthy and living healthy blah, blah, blah, but the question is: Is gym actually necessary for students? My answer: absolutely not. Back in my day, which wasn't that long ago, gym was only required for one year in high school. So really, if something is only for a year out of your whole education there, is it really necessary...no! Not only is gym class a waste of time, tax dollars and value of education, but it raises many other "social" problems as well.
I don't know if anyone else was as unfortunate as myself, but freshman year of high school when I took gym class I was scheduled to have it first hour. Granted, I took an early bird so it was my second class of the day but what's the point of getting up and ready to go to school if you're immediately thrown into gym clothes and told to break a sweat or fail. I mean its not like you have enough time after gym to shower, get ready and make yourself look half way presentable in the normal 15 minutes you had to change. This raises other awkward situations like personal hygiene...which lets just say, some people really shouldn't have had gym...that probably ruined their chances of ever smelling good in high school and not having kids make fun of them. Also, do schools not realize that high school is the most judgemental time of your life? I mean memories can make or break you there...if anything, at least think of young ladies hair, for their sake!
The last thing about gym that really irks me is of course the grading system. Are you really going to fail someone if they can't do five push-ups in a row compared to the freak kid with a bizillion muscles that can do 50? I mean if there is anything that can break your self esteem its first of all being humiliated by being in gym for the first part, then being compared to all these kids on athletic ability and lastely having the chance of looking like crap when the hour is done. Lets face it...some people aren't athletic should they really suffer? However, I guess if gym wasn't around countless movie plot lines and tv shows would suffer without tales from dodge ball gone wrong and locker room peeping.
All I have to say is I really felt bad for the poor kids today. Who knows, some of them probably like gym...there are always those that do, but for the rest of you out there that thought it was a waste, such as myself, I pity you.

FYI
In the rare chance someone else reads this I wanted to tell you a little story. Once upon a time, a certain girl (myself), made a little bloggity blog on livejournal because I was asked to. Well turns out that some random kid in the city next to mine read my journal, we began conversing and yadda, yadda, yadda he kinda became my stalker. I'm hoping this blog site can create more than just one stalker, I mean I'm a nice person, I can be funny, charming and what have you. So anyone out there interesting in stalking...please, stalk away! The End.
First Rave
Wow, tonight has been pdb. You know, (Pretty Darn Busy.) Lots of posts and lots of fun! My first rave was something I've been thinking about for awhile but also brought up with my friend the yodeling yuppie tonight, so here it goes.
Currently I am drooling over Cole Haan's re-issued penny loafers! Seriously, they are the cutest shoes with such a cute tiny little girl to help model them! However there is a price to be paid for good quality and cute styles and that is extremely high price point. With most shoes over 300 dollars its a little pricey, especially when you think of adding sales tax etc. My real question however is simple: Do penny loafers come with pennies? I mean if you're paying over 300 dollars for anything I think you deserve a little extra...ya know? So what, are the shoes 325 + tax + 2 cents? Aye! So if anyone knows this answer, I seriously would like to know. I hope Cole Haan is giving away at least 4 shiny pennies with the purchase of 300 plus dollar shoes. I mean that's what I would be doing to run an honest business, but who knows, the world isn't always an honest place. So if you're looking for Penny Loafers that include pennies one day, look me up.
Note: While searching for a picture I could actually upload, I do see that colored penny loafers are only a mere 195...what a bargain! If you can't tell I'm being sarcastic there well, I am. However it only appears that the ones over 300 come with a penny. What's that about?!
First Rant...yippie!
You know what I absolutely hate...PEOPLE YOU MAY KNOW on Facebook. Honestly, that is the dumbest idea in the entire world. Don't you think if you really wanted to be friends with someone I would have already added them awhile ago? I really hate having people I don't like popping up all the time reminding me that they're still around and that hey, I still don't like them. What is even more frustrating is when I try to delete those bloody bastards and then they eventually always pop up again! Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
The thing is...I don't know what is more annoying. Knowing that I can see them or that they can see me. Either way, I'm sure people don't like seeing my face pop up as I don't like seeing their face. If anyone else in this cyber world feels my pain let me just say "Right back 'atcha!"

Hello there
Oh...hello, its just you, welcome! This is my first honest attempt at a blog, which should get interesting. I'm not one to write short stories or post artsy photos or anything else that is on a hipster level. I once aspired to be a cool hipster, but I realized soon enough it just wasn't my scene. So call this boring, a typical blog or what have you, but just know that you might find something pretty interesting here...who knows! I'll be updating when my little heart desires with rants, raves and the what nots. So keep checking it out! Also, if you see the occasional error in puncuation, bear with me...I'm not that great in the whole writing department. Consequently, this could make me learn, yippie! Learning is fun! The End.
