Trouble in Insurance Paradise!

The voice we have all grown to know and love and equally be annoyed by will soon be replaced! Gilbert Gottfried has been fired from his prestigious job as the infamous voice of the Aflac Duck for making inappropriate and insensitive comments via twitter about the recent tragedy in Japan. Aflac felt they needed to act in response to Gottfried's horrible remarks.

People on Gottfried's side say he's always been rude and over-the-top with his jokes and that Aflac should have known who they were hiring so many years ago.

Aflac's side says Gottfried's pushed it too far and way too soon.

What I don't get is why all these celebs are writing their stupid comments on twitter- writing on twitter is basically like chiseling your quotes in stone- it hasn't worked out for most people thus far.

So the search for the next annoyingly obscure high-pitched voice has begun!

No One Stands Up Oprah!

2011-02-19T09:18:00.000-05:00

Especially in her last season! Michael Vick, recently franchised quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, has reportedly cancelled his appearance that was going to air next Thursday. That's just rude. He released a statement claiming that it was just bad timing and he wants to do an interview in the future. The future? He does know the shows is ending in a few months, right? Well, no one stands up Oprah and gets away with it. This is probably more Vick's loss than O's because this interview could have helped out his rep among his remaining haters out there. I don't think his blow-off will go over very well with people. Well, I guess we will see if Vick makes it back on the show before it goes off the air in September!

Flashback Friday: Guilty of Gossip Just Signed On.

2011-02-18T08:31:00.000-05:00

Where the phrase BRB, LOL, and ROFL got their renouned starts, the king of all chats... the one, the only:

AOL INSTANT MESSENGER

I literally used to eat dinner in front of my computer to be able to talk to my 8th grade crush- and at the time, this was totally acceptable behavior. I'm sure some people are still chatting it up on AIM daily, but at my age (the post college racket) it seems like other options have become more viable. Now with Google and Facebook hosting their own chat sessions, AIM has taken a back seat because all it is capable of is simply, chat. But how fun was creating/updating/ decorating your Profile? and Away Messages? awesome. Many Profiles were laced with unique song lyrics that expressed your current outlook on love or shout-outs to your "true friends... you know who you are!" Those were classic. Many relationships were birthed out of AIM and many would soon after fail due to a lack of "face-to-face" chemistry.

AIM saw its fair share of bitchy fights, break-ups, and gossip that could at any point in time end in someone's screen name being ousted to the BLOCKED LIST. Or watch out if someone is vindictive enough to "warn" you and raise your level so high that the AIM admins felt the need to kick your ass off! It's tough to recover from a bad case of warnings.

Let's not forgot about those buddy icons! Cute little aim guys riding motorcycles or waving hello. Picking the perfect icon was key- girly, funny, or just plain ridiculous- they had all varieties available.

And weren't those opening and closing door sounds just so darn cute? Okay, I would turn down my volume to after awhile! the-cutest-guy-in-school has just signed on. YES! But the downside, "Ugh, I can't believe he signed off without saying goodbye... jerk."

But I do sincerly miss those late night flirty convos with the boy you were too afraid to approach at school. Or how simple it was to IM a gal pal to meet you at the gym. Or to attempt to spure jealousy in those you hate by posting your exciting night life as your away message. How about when your stuck at home thinking, wow, that person is so busy that their screen name is IDLE! Oh AIM- I will miss your antics.

Happy Friday to all my TRUE Gossip Girls 'n Guys- you know who you are!

Whose that chick with Dre and Em?

2011-02-14T09:00:00.003-05:00

A performance that perhaps dethroned Gaga during last night's Grammy Awards was Eminem, Rihanna, Dr. Dre with special guest Adam Levine from Maroon Five on the piano and uhhhh who is that chick that just rocked that new Eminem and Dre hook?

Who is She? Skylar Grey. She has made her name by writing some popular hip-hop hits. She co-wrote on all three versions (there are three?) of Love the Way You Lie and also was the smooth hook-singer of Fort Minor's song Where'd You Go?

She looks like she would be singing with a emo/rock band, but she is getting her name known as a the lyrical composer of some very catchy rap/hip-hop versses. She worked with Jay-Z to pen Diddy-Dirty-Money's (puff daddy, puff, sean, p did, etc) new single Coming Home. She has also teamed up with Lupe Fiasco and will be showing up on a few of his tracks on his new album.

The song she performed at the Grammy's is Dr. Dre and Eminem's latest hating song about the ups and downs of the rap game and all the people that stab you in your back over the years. Skylar belts out the refrain for "I Need a Doctor" with some intense power and emotion. She is only gonna get more buzz and popularity from her appearance at last night's awards. I expect she will be featured on many rap songs and maybe even pop out an album of her own. My only fear is that she is nothing more than a 'featured' hook-artist and will not be able to carry a full album by herself, but we will see.

This chick rocks and her style is bangin', I wish they would have showed a closer look at her during the performance, or was it just my tiny ass tv that was the problem?

Well he told me to 'Never Say Never' so im just following directions, right?

2011-02-11T09:30:00.002-05:00

Of course my immediate reaction to seeing the preview for the Biebs new movies, 'Never Say Never', is to run far away, laugh, make fun of, joke about- like for real this is ridiculous, this kid is what all of 16 and hes gonna tell me about struggles and not giving up when people tell you that your dreams are achievable? ohh okay, your fuckin 16 and you have like eight cars and ten million chicks throwing themselves at you? well sorry you struggled Biebs...

But harshnes aside, I can't blame the Biebs for capitalizing on this market- i mean i would have been lining up at his concerts if I was 14 right now. Its happened before: Hanson, NSYNC, BSB- we've all been there. And I can't help it but everytime my tv screen goes black and i hear that sweet, "oohhowhhhooaaaohhhwhoaaaaohhhh" i'm instantly woed! I'm taken back to my fourteen year old self and i'm vulnerable to the Biebs mind ticks! I mean when he starts drumming on that kitchen chair with his hands, come on, this kids got talent!

I feel like Never Say Never would be a great movie to see if I was wasted or something more- it'd be pretty great. I don't know what it is about the Biebs but he's got something going on that is making all the ladies go crazy!

Flashback Friday: Shakespeare with a Mid-Nineties Twist

2011-02-11T09:00:00.002-05:00

As I was perusing the afternoon channels on my sick day, i could not pass up to watch (although the tv version) Baz Luhrmann's 1996 adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. This move brought to life break-out performances by a teenage Leo DiCaprio, an innocent Claire Danes, and a menacing villain John Leguizamo who were surrounded by an incredible ensemble cast including a young Jamie Kennedy.

I know there were mixed reviews on the sometimes silly mash-up of a 90's California Beach City with Shakespearian language running rampant throughout town, but I ere on the side that this was Luhrmann's shear genius coming to light. The storyline is pushed forward by a beat popping soundtrack to include songs from 90s big-hitters Garbage, Everclear, The Cardigans, and Radiohead.

It takes Shakespeare's dramatic tragedy to the next level and really makes a good showing of the timeliness of the brilliant playwright's story. Its a story of rival families that are portrayed in an almost gang warfare type setting with two naive and peace-wishing lovers that can only dream of being together. The '96 depiction still wrecks the hearts of its viewers as we sit on the edge of our couches and just hope and pray that the message will get to Romeo that Juliet is only under the influence of the apothecary's sleeping potion and not truly dead! But alas, it cannot be true for this to be a devastating tragedy of which only Shakespeare himself could orchestrate such awful irony.

I did in '96 and still today give this film two thumbs up for its wildly entertaining dialogue, drug induced costume parties, and for its heart-breaking tale of romance and the ill-fated world that kept them apart forever.

pardon my own dramatics, hehe. enjoy your friday!

Valentine's Day is Coming Up and Let's Throw in Some Shingles Shall We?

2011-02-10T09:00:00.000-05:00

So yes. The single females' ultimate holiday is right around the corner and yours truly gets a wonderful message from the Doc- You have Shingles!

So Shingles is basically Chicken Poxs for grown-ups, other words, it sucks! Flu symptoms, a rash, and shooting stabbing pain! AWESOME! Just when I thought I wasn't looking forward to to the approaching V-day, I'm thrilled that I will be healing by the time it gets here.

SO what do the single gals do to celebrate, forget about, or ignore the existence of Valentine's Day? Mani-Pedis, Movies and Junk Food, or do we need to face the music and set up our online profiles?

Seeing as I don't have the balls to sign up for online dating, I will be opting for some new highlights and maybe i'll throw in a facial just to spice things up! I know boring boring GoG...oh so boring.

This is actually the first V-day since my singledom that I am not stressing. Okay, so my 12 hour day job doesn't leave time for much stressing of other things lately, but even if I had the time I don't think I would. I no longer cringe when my favorite shows do Valentine's day themed episodes (Glee- i freakin loved it!), I stop to window shop the candy heart boxes and pink teddy bears, and I even plan on being out and about on the day of love this year- instead of cuddling up in a dark room with a coldplay cd.

I just figured its about time to move past my pessimistic outlook on love and start to embrace this holiday I once loved! At least this year I don't have to worry about my boyfriend getting me the right gift or where we can get reservations for dinner- its a lot off my plate!

But I can't help but think things are starting to look up for me- while I was writing this post sitting crossed-legged on my bed, when i repositioned my legs, look what I found imprinted on my ankle!

You can't make up stuff like that! :)

Can we Just Have it Both Ways? Super Bowl Post.

2011-02-06T14:02:00.003-05:00

Superbowl Sunday, The BIG Game! But what stat strikes Guilty of Gossip's fancy- that's right, the question about SEX-

ZOOSK.COM published their survey results that 73% of women would RATHER watch the Superbowl than have sex.

hmmm... this leads my mind in so many different directions, but let's narrow it down.

Being an avid sports fan, and a ridiculous Pittsburgh Steelers fan for my whole life, I know the importance of the big game. I also know that when your team of choice is playing in the Superbowl, you are set up to have a wonderful night or a completely horrible night. I've actually had an ex-bf cheer for my time in the Superbowl just because he knew he would get some good loving when the game was over! And I have to give him credit for this one, that's smart thinking right there.

Many girls know this story- if his team loses, stay away, far far away- but if his team wins, you are up for a night of drunken partying and celebration- which may or may not include sex, depending on the level of wasted-ness of your partner!

So this leads up to my question- why not both ladies? This stat isn't neccessarily saying that women are a bunch of shrewd anti-sex, cold-hearted bitches- it's saying that women are really stepping up their game as sports fans!

Superbowl XLV's halftime show will be the first in the years since the memorable wardrobe malfunction that has had a performance by someone who gained fame in this decade. Thank God! Halftime will be getting Fergalicious with a side of Usher- a little something for the boys and girls!

Commercial predictions- i'm hoping for some comedy, perhaps a new Coors Light Press Conference Ad or really anything with the commerical genius himself, Peyton Manning!

I simply say, a little post victory nookie is just the ticket! It combines the best of both worlds and will leave every man completely satisfied on any given Sunday!

The Girls are at War: Lil' Kim versus Nicki Minaj

2011-01-28T08:00:00.002-05:00

The rap verses have been thrown at full speed since Nicki Minaj's long-awaited and critically acclaimed CD, Pink Friday, rolled out her bitch-slapping rhymes about the Queen Bee. Let's face it, Nicki has been pissing of every rap girl in the game, which granted isn't many, but still enough to get people thinkin'- what's your beef girl? Nicki first started ripping on America's Best Dance Crew's Judge and Princess of Poppin' Lip Gloss, Lil' Mama. Which turned out to be a no-brainer simply because Lil' Mama doesn't know how to rap-battle. Mama's got talent, but she can't hack it amongst the big hitters such as Missy Elliott, Da Brat, Trina, and of course Nicki and Kim.

Nicki didn't seem to care that she wasn't picking on someone her own size- After Nicki heard Mama's criticism of her sexual image and what it portrays to other females, she stepped up to bat in Yo Gotti's 5 Star Chick Remix where she gave Lil' Mama a 3 out of 5 on the 'Star Chick Scale' along with a few other jabs.

But Mama was just the warm-up round for Nicki. Nicki came out swinging with Eminem in her corner on their latest single "Roman's Revenge"- if you haven't heard this, listen now. Both Shady and Minaj are so pissed off they can only calm their anger through masterly phrased metaphors and jaw-dropping rhymes. Nicki plan and simple tells a certain "has-been" to hang it up- flat screen. Minaj released the fuckin' dragon on verse two (after Eminem has pissed twice on some dumb blonde) when she wraps Lil' Kim's 'coffin with a bow.' Minaj claims that Kim is mad cause Nicki stole her spot- which yeah, she did. What do you expect, there are like 5 successful female rappers that have made it in the game. Nicki comes along, and strikes some similarities with Kim- daily hair color changes, envelope pushing fashion, sexually explicit lyrics- so Kim calls Nicki her little 'Clown Clone' which is hilarious, but probably true. But, because there are so few female rappers, its inevitable that the veteran gals (Kim) are gonna get mad, jealous, whatever you call it.

Almost every singer or artist has been spawned out of someone else. Lady Gaga is compared to Madonna, New Kids on the Block paved the way for N'SYNC and BSB, and Muse is giving U2 a run for their money- but do you usually hear about these people having beef? Sure, sometimes, but certainly not to the extent of Nicki and Kim.

Lil Kim has been quiet for the past few years now, so she should indeed send Minaj a 'thank-you note' for bringing her name back up into the spotlight. Fans of both women will be tuning in to hear the latest disses and slams coursing over the radio waves- its a publicity monster for both of them.

At the current moment, Kim has to know that Nicki has the upper-hand. She is rapping on every record that has been released in 2010 and 2011. Every dude is begging her to get on their songs and kill it like she does. Minaj can deliver an amazing lyrical flow- she can even make people still listen to "Botttoms Up" after its been over-killed on the radio just to hear her verse. Minaj also has a lot of people in her corner of the ring: Drake, Slim Shady, Lil Wayne, the list goes on.

Lil Kim is releasing a mix-tape entitled "Black Friday" an obvious statement against Minaj's Pink Friday to give the Barbie wannabe a taste of her own medicine. And I can't wait to hear the nasty carnage that will ensue. And by carnage, I mean some good, hard-hitting raps- nothing that is going to take us back to East Coast/ West Coast Wars- even though both women have shot remarks that could be taken literally as violent threats. Let's keep all the drama in the songs ladies, keep it clean.

Whose the winner of the battle? or do we still need more material to evaluate properly?

This is a great idea! follow the button above to see a bunch of great music posts!

We Can't Go Anywhere!

2011-01-17T08:00:00.000-05:00

So it all starts with me working too late on a friday night, too late to do anything or even want to do anything. So what do I want. A simple, late night, 24-hour Wal-mart shopping spree. It's something about cruising the aisles, being able to shop for shampoo and camping gear within a matter of fifteen steps still fascinates me. I am in my wal-mart element when the clock strikes 11:45 pm. It's especially awesome when you stumble upon a section and it makes you think, "you know what, i deserve this!" My cart was filled with necessities: toilet paper, a mini cooler, a pair of socks- when i came up to the book section. YES!

I had just finished a long novel, so now i NEED a nice easy read. Now when I book shop, i get into an alternate universe-type zone. I friggin' concentrate like I am taking a ninth grade algebra exam. I have just found a book that I am just about to read the back cover of (it clearly passed the eye-catching cover test), when a guy saunters over to the same section. The chick lit section, so this can only mean two things. A) this guy likes chick-lit or B) he's pretending to like chick-lit. I'm in the mood for neither scenario.

He says hello and picks up a book and then obviously pretends to be interested in said book. He asks me how I am. Okay fine, i'll tell you how i am, but that's it, right?
NOPE.
You work here? he asks me. ARE YOU FOR REAL DUMBASS?
"Uh, no? Am I wearing a uniform?" My snarky self replies.
He doges that gem, "Where do you work?" SERIOUSLY? YOU"RE STILL GOING WITH THIS? I AM IN WAL-MART, I AM IN MY ZONE. GET OUT OF MY ZONE PLEASE!
"Hmm. I work for the government."
"The What?"
"THE GOVERNMENT!" The Government you ass, the largest employer in freakin' america!
"Oh, that's nice, you work everyday?" I don't even know what to think about that question.
"Pretty much." I attempt to read the back cover of my book.
"You're very pretty." CAN I PLEASE JUST SHOP IN PEACE SIR!
"Thanks, but you're seriously doing this in a walmart?"
"Doing what? I am just complimenting you."
"Okay, well thanks."
"You have a boyfriend?" WOW.
"Sorry, I don't have all day for this, I came here to shop, so thanks, but no thanks!"
"Oh, I mean no harm!"

Okay fine, I give in. I don't read the back of my book, I throw it in the cart and run away as fast as my cart with the one busted wheel can go. The creepy guy continues to talk to me, now in spanish, so that's best for everyone involved.
I seek refuge in the cereal aisle, strategically hidden behind a tall palate of boxes that need to be shelved. I find myself slowly lurking around each corner making sure not to run into creepy guy.

As I am turning the corner to get my last item, blueberries, there he is. I literally halt and redirect my path. Am I seriously running away from a guy? This guy sucks, he has ruined my perfectly good walmart shopping experience. screw him! I go back to get my fruit and he is waiting there by the apples, once again acting interested in purchasing something. And then he waves to me. Like we're BFFs- he waves!
I ignore, grab my berries and streak toward the check-out. And I look back around one more time and he's just looking at me! AH! Seriously creepy! Can I go anywhere?
Come on guys! especially creepy guys! What makes you think this is okay? It's not, it will not get you anywhere but on every woman's creepy list.

Ugh. I just had to write this out to get the creepy off of me.
Anyone else have this kind of experience before? It sucks.

AHHHH!

2010-12-13T17:22:00.002-05:00

OMG! My new job training is literally kicking my ass! this is the first time i have even been able to turn on my personal computer!
In the meantime! i have successful reconnected with a former college crush! And by reconnected, yes i mean hooked-up with. SCORE!
That's all I can say for now! Hopefully after training is over I will have some down-time to write- but most likely it will keep being crazy.
Talk to you all soon!

Flashback Friday!

2010-11-26T08:00:00.001-05:00

Let Me See That ....

THONGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember when the thong was in and our man SiSqo was belting out his passion for the women's skimpy lingerie piece? I Do!

This song boosted Victoria's Secret thong sales during the late 90's and the thong was reigning for long time. But I don't think its popularity is as strong as it used to be- has the thong been replaces?! And by What!?
All I know is Sisqo would be pissed to hear his hard work and extreme marketing campaign has lost to the boy short.

Happy Black Friday! Burn those calories at the mall ladies!

Flavor Flaaaaaavvvvvvv!!!!!

2010-11-18T12:00:00.001-05:00

Get ready everyone because Flavor Flav is gonna be releasing his own signature flavored vodkas! Should be on the shelves after the new year, so start pre-ordering that shit! The line will be called "Le Flav Spirits" and will host flavors such as cherry, berry, olive, sweet tea, bubblegum, and grape (I will definitely be tryin' the sweet tea of course). Flav also plans on branding his own Cognac and eventually some bubbly champagne called "Chateaux Le Flav"- he's a pretty classy dude ya know!

Not gonna lie, I'm excited to get my hands on these bottles!

I'm Movin' On Up!

2010-11-18T09:44:00.002-05:00

My new job finally came through!
I will be doing something new and exciting while getting a nice pay increase!
I'm really pumped to be testing a different set of skills and I am excited to be able to flash my sweet govt badge in the club. ;)
I'll get to meet new people during training and hopefully fall in love with a fellow agent! :)
I would spend some more time blabbing about this, but i'm finishing up things at my other job and that is like running my life right now, so more catching up later!

Katy Perry: Did a ten year old write your songs for you?

2010-11-15T09:42:00.002-05:00

I have let this issue go on for too long! I will preface it by saying that I really like Katy Perry. I like her image, her voice is unique, she has a crazy but fun fashion sense- i mean she has the potential to be music GOLD. However, one of my prerequisites for being number one on my playlist, and maybe I'm setting too high a standard, but i need to be able to sing along to your songs without feeling like I just finished my AM session of pre-school.

For example, her most recent endeavor, "Firework" has some key lyrics that make me wonder, "this girl gets paid how much to write this crap?"

Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!" As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Really? What does it really mean when I make 'em go "oh, oh, oh."?

After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Yeah... umm, Katy, that might not be the greatest metaphor to use.

Boom, boom, boom Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon It's always been inside of you, you, you And now it's time to let it through

I can't even dignify this with a comment.

What has music come to these days? Because to be honest, Katy ain't the only half-assing it with the lyrics. I mean, come on!
Take a lesson from Kesha! She brushes her teeth with friggin' Jack- now that shit is original!

F-You Fridays

2010-11-12T10:15:00.003-05:00

I don't usually do this, but i found something through my morning blog-hopping that made me cringe so i thought i'd give the 'ole F*ck You to it...

F*ck You to any blog post that begins .... "4 years ago today i married my best friend, blah blah fuckin' blah." just sayin- i throw up a little every time i see this.
F*ck You to jealous bitches who think they can be rude a-holes to every girl just because they think they are "one-of-guys"- f you seriously because those guys only hang around you because your easy.
And a F*ck You to road construction, traffic, speed cameras and anything that hinders my opportunity to drive like the crazy Pittsburgh-er that I am.

I think that's it for now, may add more later if i feel so inclined.
Link-up with My Mad Mind and Boobies, Babies, & A Blog if you want in on this!

Flashback Friday! Boy Meets World!

2010-11-12T09:17:00.004-05:00

Awwww Cory & Topanga! I freakin' LOVED this show! It was like Full House only WAY COOLER!
Mr. Feeny had the best school lessons ever! He always knew how to steer those boys in the right direction!

This show was in the top ten of TGIF shows for sure! I still watch the reruns!
Mmmm- and how much of a hottie was Shawn! He worked that trailer park-white trash look! And let's not forget Cory's older-but-dumb-as-bricks brother- always coming up with these crazy ideas and fake colleges to get into! Whatta jokester!

I look back on this show with fond memories!
Enjoy your Friday everyone!

The More I Live- the More I Realize Guys are Little Girls.

2010-11-08T09:51:00.002-05:00

The difference between the boy's locker room and the girls locker room?
The boys are talking about girls
and the girls are talking about... girls. You will hear more fashion advice than boyfriend advice, just sayin'!

You all know how much I enjoy being crowned as a gossip queen, but the boys are always nipping at my heels! The boys run the rumor mill and they fuckin' LOVE IT!

I'm at a party the other night and what do I see happening with two guys behind the bar? They are whispering to each other! WTF? Two grown ass men are totally whispering, like hand-over-mouth-to ear whispering! And then when they come up for air- they stare at the woman they are CLEARLY talking about!
Thats one thing women have over men- at least were a little bit more inconspicuous! Were not out in the open telling secrets to eachother- we're more creative than that- don't knock the text to your BFF when she is sitting across the room from you- it works dammit!

That's all, just a mini-rant that was inspired by seeing two boys whispering at a party. I must have drank too much of that feminist tea last night, damn.
Boys- word to the wise, try to be less obvious!
Happy Monday!

Vacations are Never Long Enough and Random Shit that Happens to Me

2010-11-04T09:57:00.003-04:00

I just got home from my mini-vacation to my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA! And of course it wasn;t long enough and now I am back at work- i already cried in a meeting with my supervisor so thats always a fun way to come back! I'm a mess.
But let me tell you a ridiculous story that would ONLY happen to me...

So, I had been driving for about 4 hours now, I was in the home stretch! I was about thirty minutes away from my friend E's house who I was staying with and things were going smoothly. I'm chillin' in the left lane behind another car. The car in front of me swerves over into the right lane super fast and before I know it- i see a red plasticy thing in the middle of my lane. I had not time to move over, so I ran right over it and I hear a loud BANG! and then continued scrapping under my car- I slow down and pull over on the side of the highway. I'm thinking, okay, no big deal, I'll just get grab whatever is under my car- no problem.
I get out of my car and walk around to the front so I don't get smashed by a car and bend down- OHHH the thing I ran over is on FIRE! AWESOME!
I proceed to freak out slightly. My phone was in my car and now i was so afraid to go anywhere near my car because its obviously going to explode. But I talked myself down and ran back to my car *mission impossible theme song playing in my head* of course my phone was attached to the car charger so I had to spend an extra second unplugging it- but i got it out and ran back away from my car.
Dialed 911. Man the last time I did that was when my college roommate's crazy boyfriend was freaking out on Halloween like 3 years ago- but that's another story.
Okay 911 line rang three times before anyone answered! HELLLOOOO!
Anywho- I told the lady what was up and as I was on the phone with her a rando guy pulled over and got out of his car. He asked if i was on the phone with 911, i said yes. He then went over to look at my car and the thing on fire. THEN he bolted away back toward me and was like
"Oh yeah- we need to stay away from that, its a gas can and its on fire!"
911 tells me to stand 20 feet away from the car. I oblige her. Then a rando trucker pulled over on the opposite side of the highway. HE gets out of his truck with a fire extinguisher and sprints across the lanes of traffic then hurdles over the median like a champ! *I imagined him with a superman cape blowing in the wind! He ran across and unleashed the extinguisher underneath my car. FIRE OUT!
Then all the emergency vehicles show up- cops, firetruck, ambulance. I over hear a fireman say "Oh- i thought the car was on fire..."
OHHHH Sorry my emergency wasn't awesome enough for you fireperson! boooooo.
The firepeople threw some sand under my car and then lifted my car to dislodge the gas can.

But anyway cops took my license and info and asked if I was okay, i was i guess. I thanked both rando guys for their help and they went on their way.
I only back up traffic for a little bit- but still managed to make the traffic report! SCORE!

So i figured the weekend could only get better! It was awesome too- friends, family party, visiting with college professors and former employers!

And my friends introduced me to this hilarious video... probably not good to watch at work, unless you can close your door- i find it hilarious! Have a fun day everyone!

Drinking out of cups, being a bitch.

Flashback Fridays! B. Spears

2010-10-29T08:00:00.002-04:00

I know it seems like yesterday that Britney Spears was actually churning out hits and stuff, but I just wanted to flash back to her albums that I liked the best. Also, I am preparing for her to make a HUGE comeback, yes HUGE- she will rise again!

So I loved loved loved her back to back albums- the self-titled, "Britney" and "In the Zone"- both of these came out when i was a little high schooler so that could account for their success in my book, but I just listened the songs today and i still freakin' love them!

An underrated and very emotionally charged song, "Everytime" played on my youtube playlist and i still got chills! That song is amazing.

I'm a Slave 4 U was such a hot song- still love it!
Toxic and Outrageous! AMAZING
Oh and I am not hating on the album "Oops..."- that packed some great tunes as well- Stronger and Lucky are two of my favs from that one!

And I really liked her cover of Bobby Brown's My Prerogative- its sexy.

Also, I totally dressed up one Halloween, many moons ago, as Britney Spears in her waitress get-up from the 'Crazy' video- hell yes.

Alright Brit,its time for a legit- multi-platinum comeback- no more of this half-ass crap you've been putting out lately- get to it girl.

"LOL"- the new "Boy Who Cried Wolf!"

2010-10-27T08:00:00.001-04:00

I realized this when I was texting my sister the other day...

Sister: Did you wear your 'Splice' T-Shirt to work today?
Me: Just literally laughed out loud.

Okay- so two things are funny within that:
a) I worked this event for the City Paper and got two free 'Splice' t-shirts as rewards. Yes, Splice, that awful looking horror flick with Adrien Brody. So i find that hilarious- and i plan on wearing them all the time.
b) Instead of saying 'LOL'- I have to make sure I clarify that no seriously, I LAUGHED OUT LOUD because most of the time i say 'lol' its just like a suffix to a sentence or something.

Example Text Scenario Where 'LOL' is Abused:
Me: Soo, work sucks, lol.
Friend of GoG: Yeah, same here, lol.
Me: I am sooo ready to go home! lol.
Friend of GoG: FOR REAL, me too, lol.

Yeah sooooo- there was no way that I actually laughed out load at my desk while texting any of those messages and neither was my friend. So I have been forced to actually spell it out when my ass is literally laughing out loud at something.

Also, I don't believe people when they say 'lol' anymore- no, i'm sorry you are not laughing out loud at the fact that I am going shopping today, I just don't believe you sir!

It's over. LOL has been used and abused and now, no one will ever believe that you are laughing out loud unless you say it.

Alright, that's my rant for today...lol.

Flashback Friday- The Walkman!

2010-10-22T09:13:00.002-04:00

Before the ipod and even before the portable CD player- every kid riding the bus to school had to have one of these...

I especially love reminiscing about those foam head-phones- awesome. The first tape I ever rocked in my very own walkman was Ace of Base The Sign -Of COURSE- flashback within a flashback ;)
Having a walkman was synonymous with being cool, i mean, look how cool that girl above looks.
And during the hayday of the walkMAN- i don't remember hearing any beef about why there wasn't a walkWOMAN? Maybe there was and I just didn't care. But that seems like it would've been a hilarious issue to debate.

Grab your cassette tapes and get to walking!

Thirsty Thursday, Chris Rock, My ADD is getting the best of me today.

2010-10-21T09:36:00.004-04:00

Okay so its Thirsty Thursday- lets all go get our drink on.

I wanted to mention this hilarious thing Chris Rock did for charity the other night. So he auctioned off the chance for someone to get their ex scolded for any wrong-doing. The highest bidder donated $20,000, her name was Desiree and she was brought up on stage to give instructions to Chris. Apparently her boyfriend had broken up with by posting pics of him with another chick on facebook (cough, pussy.) yeah so he deserved every bit of what Mr. Rock dished out. I wish I could find this video somewhere, but its MIA currently. Chris laid into this guy with f-bombs dropping left and right. Desiree was in heaven. Well, its all for a good cause, the event was called "Night of Too Many Stars: An Overbooked Concert" and the proceeds helped raise money for education programs for autistic children and adults.

Like I said, I forgot my meds for ADD- so I'm kinda all over the place today.

Love Love LOVE that song "Like a G6"- just sayin'. I can't keep my head from bumpin' every time it comes on.

Rapper T.I. is going to jail for 11 months- way harsh judicial system- he just wanted to trip every now and then. But whatevs- cue the 'FREE T.I.' Shirts ASAP!

Just live ur life, bro'- that's all you can do.

Wednesday- Goodbyes are Never Easy!

2010-10-20T09:07:00.002-04:00

I'm linking up with Bad Girl Bloggers today for a sweet farewell to Miss Crazy Brunette who has decided to end her reign of blogging! :(
I feel like I just got the tip of the iceberg with her- we just started chatting a few months ago when the Bad Girl Bloggers site was just getting started. But within that short time there were about a thousand emails and g-chats and "WTF are we doing on the BGB today hooker?"

I will really miss being referred to as hooker, skank, ho, and many other of her terms of endearment- they made me feel special! :)

LOVE YOU CB- #1 in My Heart!!!

Wicked Wednesdays will never be quite as wicked without you! Muah!

Umm... okay security code words?

2010-10-19T11:58:00.002-04:00

Have you ever commented on someone's blog or went to sign up for something and then you get that little security word verification thing, known as the 'captcha'- the thing that checks to make sure you're not a computer hacking robot?

Okay- those things are hilarious.
I just got one now where the word was 'Conshot' -hmmmm.... a little too close for comfort there word generator thing.

And sometimes you have no f'n clue what the letters could even possibly be?
Like WTF captcha, I'm not a professor of hieroglyphics, but thanks for the practice.

Or when they put all kinds of scratches and lines through the words and you have to get up in your computer's face to even begin to decipher it.

Then the captcha condescends the shit out of you when its like, "Oh can't read this dumbass? then click here and i'll come up with a simpler word for you."

And seriously, some of the shit makes no sense- like what kind of bad acid trip are you on Captcha?
Leopard Marks?
Umm, okay... f'n weirdo.

Flashback Fridays!

2010-10-15T09:59:00.002-04:00

The rappers of the 90s

The catchy hooks, the coordinating dances, and of course the obnoxiously amazing fashion! Yes, the rappers of the 90s had it all down to a science!
Let's start with one of my favorites- MC HAMMER! How can we not include this master of hip hop!? His top two hits were 'Can't Touch This' and 'Too Legit To Quit' - even to this day no one can remain a wallflower when either jam is played.

The pants are rather ridiculous- but they are trying to creep their way back into style- have you seen the runway lately?

Eminem had it easy because Vanilla Ice had already paved the way for the white rappers to emerge on the scene! (that's sarcasm at its finest)
But seriously, we love Ice, Ice, Baby- can't get enough of it! For the 90s- he was considered a hot piece of ass. Mmmmmmmm....

"Yo Vanilla Kick it One Time BOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"

And the last one I'm going to feature is my man... the ladies love him, the boys wanna be him...

LL COOL J

Favorite Song- Mama Said Knock You Out
Why? because any man who listens to what his mama tells him is a true gentleman!

i know i know there are tons more (legit) rappers from the 90s- but i'm just tryin' to show these boys some love.
Happy Friday! Get you some 90s Rap this weekend!

Wicken, Naughty, anything else?

2010-10-13T09:30:00.002-04:00

For this Wicked Wednesday- BGB is asking for your favorite Witch ... I'm gonna have to go with....

Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer!

I feel like she is an often forgotten about witch, so I wanted to give her a shout-out!

And now, linking up with the naughty list!

1. Have you ever walked in on a family member in a sexual moment?2. Have you ever lied to a significant other?
Thank the lord no.
3. Have you ever done the deed with your child (or someone else who was oblivious) in the same room?
haha- no kids, so i'm safe on that. but yes, in college someone is always in the room.
4. Have you ever not tipped a service person (IE manicurist, waiter, caddy, valet, stripper) for a really stupid reason? (IE Too broke to tip, didn't like how they said hello)
don't think so, one of my bffs is a waitress, so i learned from her to always tip really well.
5. Have you ever used your womanly body parts to get you something, or get you out of something?
Yes, to get something- haven't had the balls to use them for getting out of something.

yikes!

Brett Favre- being a bad boy!

2010-10-12T08:30:00.000-04:00

A few days ago, a story broke on deadspin.com about Brett Favre pursing a former employee of the NY Jets. The girl is Jenn Sterger and some third party leaked a few naughty pics of the famed quarterback along with some strange voice mails. Supposedly Jenn never actually got involved with Favre and she made a comment to someone that if she would get involved with him she might "end up in a trash can"- to which Brett left a voice mail in response saying something like "alright if that's what you think of me...i'm still trying" :/

Sure shes a good lookin gal. But Bret is a) MARRIED and b) sending inappropriate pictures of his pee-pee!! Come on Brett! Keep it in your pants bro!

The NFL is looking into the "situation" and we will see what all happens with that! You can find everything on Deadspin- including the actual pics of Favre's assumed junk- no blurring, seriously, it caught me off guard-don't watch at work!

How do you read the signals?

2010-10-11T09:51:00.003-04:00

After a pretty sweet and drunk weekend, which did unfortunately include a "DOUBLE HANGOVERRRR" (yes said with 'double rainbow' excitement) - I am trying to piece together what seemed like some "lets sleep together signals"

Bad news for figuring this out is... my guy friend (and potential whatever) kept buying me drinks! So i'm not like black-out drink, but pretty tipsy and my memories of everything are hazy.
Okay, so yes he paid for my entire tab- which was close to 60 bucks probably cause i ordered food too. Does this mean anything? Okay, so at first I was like, could be him just trying to get some, but- he was coming in from out of town and had to leave to go back that night and was not going to be anywhere near me for a late night booty call. hmmmmm.

I think there was a live conversation about how we "almost" have gotten together numerous times- but I don't remember what was exactly said.

The only other thing I have to go on is that he invited me down to his place to go visit some wineries because there are apparently a lot down by him-
and he made sure to add, you can just stay down at my place so you won't have to drive back that night (we live about an hour and half from each other)

I dont know- ive liked this guy for awhile and have never felt that he was returning the favor, but now im kinda like, maybe??

guys are so f'n cryptic. booooo. Let me know what you think bitches.

Not much- just one HUGE thing

2010-10-07T11:49:00.002-04:00

Largest Apple Ever. I will devour it later today as both lunch and dinner.

In other news, if I felt I could keep up with it, I would do a "dumb ass people who make more money than me" post every week, but i'd probably slack off- but just for today...

I am in a meeting with a board full of lawyers and this board has a Chair, as do most.
This guy, yes lawyer and has his own firm - does not know Roberts Rules of Order. THE CHAIR OF THE FREAKIN" COMMITTEE. Every other topic needs a friggin' motion you ass! And every time he says "I really don't know how to do this, does someone need to motion or second?"
SERIOUSLY? I get your average Joe not knowing how to follow them or run the meeting, but a friggin' lawyer who is the chair of a committee? WHATTTT!!!???

I'll never understand. Thanks for letting me rant.

Flashback Friday: Do I make you horny baby?

2010-10-01T09:43:00.002-04:00

The man, the mystery, the legend that is AUSTIN POWERS!

Probably one of the most brilliant most successful concepts for a spoof series, the AP trilogy was a phenomenon! Halloween costumes of the various characters could be seen from the mid-nineties all the way up to 2007! The music, the comedy, and the memorable quotes were heard through-out high schools everywhere.
Mike Myers stole our hearts every time he fell in love, so let's not forget his leading ladies!
Austin first changed his sex obsessed ways when he met Vanessa Kensington (Elizabeth Hurley)

Then along came Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham)
And last, but never call her least, Foxxy Cleopatra (Beyonce Knowles)

Which female lead was your favorite??

And I will leave you with some memorable quotes, complements of IMDB.com:
International Man of Mystery:
Austin Powers: That's Dr. Evil's cat!
Vanessa Kensington: How can you tell?
Austin Powers: I never forget a pussy... cat.

Vanessa Kensington: That's you in a nutshell.
Austin Powers: No, this is me in a nutshell: "Help! I'm in a nutshell! How did I get into this bloody great big nutshell? What kind of shell has a nut like this?"

Austin Powers: Come again?
Alotta Fagina: Alotta Fagina
Austin Powers: Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just not getting it, it sounds like you said your name was a lot of um... never mind!

Spy Who Shagged Me:
Fat Bastard: I want my baby back baby back baby back baby back baby back baby back ribs. *Chili's* Baby back ribs.

Austin: [referring to Felicity sleeping with Fat Bastard] Well how could you do it?
Felicity Shagwell: I was just doing my job.
Austin: No, I mean, literally, HOW could you do it? The man's so fat, the sheer mechanics of it are mind-boggling.

Goldmember:
Austin Powers: Mr. Roboto is lying to us.
Foxxy Cleopatra: Tell me something I don't know.
Austin Powers: I open-mouth kissed a horse once.
Foxxy Cleopatra: Say what?
Austin Powers: That's something you don't know.

Dr. Evil: Alright, let me find my balls, for God's sakes! 1, 2, and 3, okay. I'm okay.

Fat Bastard: Unfortunately, my neck does look like a vagina.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Usually I'm excited when someone's crotch is getting grabbed

2010-09-29T16:12:00.005-04:00

Hey- sports fan or not, this is fuckin' hilarious or gross or weird all at the same time.
Kansas City Chiefs Defensive-End Shaun Smith had been accused (for the second week in a row) of grabbing an opposing players "package" in an attempt to distract him from the game or to draw a retaliation penalty.

Okay so to break it down, this guys grabs his opponents crotch during the play to piss him off. Then, the violated player will retaliate against Smith by pushing, punching, smacking (whatever the natural male reaction to an unsolicited genital grab). SO the referee only sees the player who is pushing back against Smith and will throw a flag for unnecessary roughness or what-have-you.

Guys are so fuckin' weird, the shit they come up with- ridiculous!
Well, supposedly some of the teams next in line to play against the Chiefs are already set out to knock up Mr. Smith and send him a message to quit grabbing their packages!

Smith has so far denied such claims, but here, see for yourself! Keep your eye on the left side, number 90 is Smith (The Crotch Master)

WOW!

One of the victim's was quoted:
"He tried to feel me, That's weird, right?" Anthony Davis, San Francisco 49s.

Yeah Anthony, that is weird. I mean sure, off the field- grab whoever's crotch you like, if they are willing- but during the game, 'nahhhh.
And using a man's special zone as a ploy to get penalties assessed on the other team, its just wrong, Come on Man!

Of course the swift acting NFL has yet to comment on the situation.

Sex & Marriage- Guest Post by Katie!

2010-09-28T09:18:00.003-04:00

Good morning everyone! Well, right off the bat you have to know I did not write this article because I have no clue about anything related to marriage- so I'm glad I have friends who do! So take it away, Katie!

Hey guys! It’s Katie from Life with the Dietrich’s. The lady behind Guilty of Gossip asked me if I would be willing to do a guest post for her…I’m super busy with crap this last couple of weeks, but of course I helped her out…She’s such a fun person and she has helped me out, so I thought I would return the favor…

She gave me a couple choices to do a guest post on and I went back and forth about what I wanted to post…I think I settled on Sex and sex and Marriage.

Sex and marriage…Hmmm lets see…I don’t normally talk about this kind of stuff, but I can make an exception!

I think I may be one of the weirdest girls in the world. I have a very low sex drive, so I’m not the type that NEEDS to have sex all the time! So before we got married, we didn’t have it that often. Also we didn’t live together and we both lived with our parents so it was exactly the easiest thing to do. We couldn’t just go to each others house and hump. It doesn’t work that way. We did move in with each other a little before we got married and nothing really changed. We might have had it a little bit more, but I’m always nervous that people are going to hear us and we are going to get weird looks :) haha…We lived in a really old house that was converted into an apartment and the walls were super thin. I’m not a quiet person unless I really have to be. haha

Now that we have been married it’s still the same. I work all day long and I’m tired when I get home so he normally only gets it on the weekend. Don’t get me wrong I do really enjoy sex, but it’s not something that I HAVE to have all the time. And when I’m tired, I’m just not able to get in the mood.

I have actually heard that a lot of women that are the same way. Men and women are completely different when it comes to sex. The majority of men are ridiculous when it comes to sex and pretty much hump anything that walks past them.

So I’m saying that nothing really changed when we got married with sex. I have heard of people not getting it at all and I kind of think that’s crazy. Like I said, I’m not that type that has to have it all the time, but I have to have it sometimes.

I’m also going to throw in sex positions with this post :) Thanks Guilty of Gossip chick for having me come completely out of my comfort zone :) I’m a simple girl that likes simple sex. I’m the type that likes that missionary way, but of course I do enjoy being on top :) I do like to be in control!! We of course have tried different positions, but I’m a bigger girl and he’s a bigger dude and some positions just don’t work out for fatties :)

Thank you all for taking the time to read this and Thank you GOG chick for completely having me get out of my comfort zone and talk about things that I don’t talk about on my blog. It’s not that I’m embarrassed about it, it’s that I have family that read my blog and I really don’t care for them to know what sex positions I like or how much I boink my hubby :) I think this may have just made me want to open up on my blog more. I just have to remember to put “Family members can’t read” in the title :)

One Photo- 'nough said

2010-09-27T10:40:00.002-04:00

Ummmmm- okay, It's friggin' Monday, I'm tired as hell and they only thing that woke me up better than my strong cup of java was the latest Billboard Magazine cover.

Enjoy.

Further words from me would only ruin this moment for everyone, so that is all, have a good day. :) Ladies, how can you not after this?

Flashback Friday- this one's a thirst quencher!

2010-09-24T08:00:00.001-04:00

AAAhhhhhhhhh.... Lets take a moment to remember the pops (or sodas as you southerners call 'em) of the past!

First off, one of my past personal favorites and the one that goes down in history as the original energy drink, SURGE!!!

I remember being allowed to drink these only on "special occaisions" (aka TGIF nights- flashback within a flashback bitches)

Moving on, how about these gems? Orbitz were non-carbonated beverages with tiny little gelatin balls floating inside, no wonder I liked these so much!

And to round out our list- the one, the only... Crystal Pepsi! It cool, clear, and refreshing without the added caffeine! It was like the combination of the sweetness of a cola with the clarity an un-cola! ;)

If only we could walk down to the 7-11 on the corner and pick up one of these lovely past times!

Cherish your favorite beverages- who knows when it could become the next Soda-pop victim!

Happy Friday!

If your sick of hearing about Lohan, please raise your hand!

2010-09-23T11:36:00.002-04:00

Oh- is everyone SHOCKED that Lohan is heading back to court/ jail?

let me help you out,
NO!
Its probably because they got it wrong the first time-
Her jail sentence was too short and her brief rehab stint was clearly not effective!
I mean, people get released from jail early for improved and good behavior- I'm sorry but she don't look improved at all. And she should have served the full rehab time- stupid judges- keep her in there!

And not to mention her brief (and not funny at all) moment on the MTV VMAs- yes MTV writers, it was too soon to have Lohan making fun of herself about her "past" alcohol problems- yeah, umm, they're still pretty much in the present.

Lindsay sent out a couple of tweets a few days ago about how her recent run-in with Jack Daniels was just a "setback" and that she is a "work in progress"- boo freakin' hoo Lohan- shut up and go on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew already!! (Yes i would watch every fuckin' second of that train wreck if it happened) But Lohan is still claiming that she is "too much of a star to go on the rehab show"- ummm, seriously? When was your last movie that people went to see?
No, it doesn't include all the people tuning into your shenanigans via TMZ.

I'm just really starting to get annoyed with her in again/ out again jail/rehab shit- I'm over it. Let's all move on.

Wicked Wednesday- How could I not?

2010-09-22T10:06:00.002-04:00

Of Course Bad Girl Bloggers are going to start something like Wicked Wednesdays!
Check out this ridiculously cute ass button!

And go over to BGB and link-up about your most memorable slutty, drunken, crazy-ass story from your past ...or present!

Do it Bitches!

Okay so I am going to do Wicked Wednesday with a Guilty of Gossip twist! Yay!
The following story is either true, false, or it happened- but just not to me... Figure it out!

Our main character will be named Sally...
Sally started off the night by being invited over to the boy's dorms for some pre-party binge drinking. She figured she would go over to this mini-party, start to get wastey, return to her room to get ready and prepared for the full evening of drunkenness. So she kept her not-sexy-at-all underwear on and simply slipped on jeans and a v-neck tee and trekked across campus to the gathering.
There was one element that totally changed the sequence of events for Ms. Sally and that was a little thing called ... Jungle Juice. Now the way her school made the juice was a fuckin shit ton of Everclear with a small amount of punch and random chunks of fruit thrown into the mix as well.
Sally had never tried Everclear before, she had only heard the various folklore surrounding its extreme intoxicating effects. So one of her friends pours her a glass of the fruity beverage and she is dealt into a friendly card game.

Friendly, no, not at all. She ends up having to chug her full solo cup after the first round and before she knows it shes on to her next one.
Then the party begins to migrate to another dorm and Sally does not even remember the walk over. Oh yes, the everclear is working her now.
Now, Sally is no stranger to the drunken hook-up- but even through her hazy mind she remembers that she is not prepared at all for any kind of sexin'- she doesn't even have on her sexy underwear..no she has on full coverage (almost granny's but not quite), you know the type.
Shes in a room with two guys who obviously could not decide over who gets to hook up with her and decide to share...
NEVER A GOOD IDEA BOYS!
Well anyway, some sharing happens-
Sally is overwhelmed with the amount of attention on all of her sexy parts happening at one time. She drunkenly apologizes to both for not having sexy underwear on, they both don't seem to mind because it is off in a matter of minutes. Everything is going swimmingly until the RA practically bangs the door down because the music is too loud and freshman Sally has to leave because its after hours.
Sally walks her drunk ass back to her dorm and passes the fuck out.
Next morning she sees her two male suitors in the dining hall and sits down with them.
The boys both have a look of embarrassment on their faces. When the one boy walks away for a minute, Sally confirms her shotty memories with the other. Yep, it happened- but Sally is SWORN to secrecy because it can not be known that the two boys were actually involved in a threesome with each other.
And that's the funny part Sally ponders.. guys are always dying to be involved in a three-some, but most would only really be involved in the kind that involved two chicks..
Sally's Wicked side comes out when she realizes she has an Amazing piece of black mail against these two boys for the next three years!
Lucky Sally, she got these boys to do whatever she wanted, needed, or remotely thought about for the rest of their time at school.

Yeahhh Sallyyyyyy. Get 'em.

This has been a lovely installment of Wicked Wednesday... see you next week! ;)

Flashback Firdays! Collector's Edition!

Was anyone else a HUGE fan/ collector of STICKERS???

If you were a serious partaker of this trade then I need only mention one name and one name only to know that you are legit....

Lisa Frank? ring a bell? She was the Queen of the sticker circuit.

The colors this chick used were out of control- didn't our parents every think this girl HAD to be on acid, clearly.
I mean penguins hugging polar bears and unicorns making out with fluorescent spotted leopards?
But yeah I'm pretty sure I could still find a beach towel or two from the Lisa Frank era. And I want to say at one point my strict Catholic grade school banned little girls from trading their stickers at school... this just makes me laugh. Little did schools know stickers would be the least of their problems today!

Does anyone know if they still sell these in stores? someone please send me some haha.

Just Posted Some Bad Girl Shit!

Go check out my latest post over at the New Community: Bad Girl Bloggers.

Bad Girls Aren't Born, Their Created.

Flashback Friday - LIVE Edition!

2010-09-10T09:22:00.002-04:00

I'm going to take you back to the 90s again- (can you tell I was a child of the 90s yet?)
Just imagine you are in someone's parent's basement- possibly smoking, possibly drinking without a care in the fuckin' world.
Oh what's that song that just came on? The sweet harmonica tones fill the air... ahhhhh
It could only be the one and only...

BLUES TRAVELER

THE HOOOOOOKKK BRIIINNNGGSS YYYOOUUUUU BAAAACCCKKKK

And why GoG is this a Live edition you may ask?
Because I am going to see this wonderfully nostalgic band tonight- for FREE!
The Baltimore Harbor does free concerts every Friday and i think that is pretty sweet. They fulfill my craving for 90s alternative (already saw Better Than Ezra there a few weeks ago!)

I will update this post with a review tomorrow!

Why Do Guys Like Easy Girls? and by easy I mean slutty

2010-09-08T13:06:00.002-04:00

This is the question I am pondering upon returning from a lovely vacation in Naples, FL.
I went there to visit my friend, J from undergrad. We had a blast, but something that was plaguing her this week led me to seriously spend some time on this question.

Her situation is basically that a fake, over-processed, and most-importantly 'easy' girl has captured the attention of all her guy friends at school. And were talking EASY street with this gal people. She cheated, home-wrecked, and one-night-stood her way through her life. To be quite honest she was a total butter face, and doesn't even have a nice rack to complete her equipped body.

I realize you might all be saying, "Whoah there GoG- ease up on this girl. Maybe she haws a GREAT personality?!" Right?
Nope, I met her fair and square and she ain't nothing special. She couldn't even hold a complete conversation unless she was getting attention from a boy. And I am allowed to be mean about her because shes messing with my girl, J.

I've also experienced a similar situation first hand with my ex. While we were dating, he was friends with a girl exactly like what was described above, but she also had a three-year-old kid (whom she did not have custody of- feel free to judge). She lived in an off-campus party house with other skanky girls and basically partied and slept around all through her college years. One night, she throws herself at my ex and luckily for his health, he declined. But all his guy friends were like "why don't you hit that! shes fuckin' hot!"
Like WTF guys? shes a fuckin' whore!

So back to the question at hand- Why are both examples of these types of guys in to these whores and trying to sleep with them?
A small light bulb goes off in my head and says, "Wait a minute, they want to sleep with her, not necessarily be with her!"
As true as this may be, this doesn't help the gals who are actually looking for a significant relationship with these bastard guys.

And to really answer we have to get inside the minds of a typical male, which seems to be guided by the motto "sex now and lots of it." We just have to face the facts that 'most' guys are built with a slut radar- whatever is the least amount of work and the greatest amount of satisfaction (sexual satisfaction that is).

I guess the nice girls of the world (which I will exclude myself from for the time being as to not be hypocritical) will just have to watch it all play out and hope that their boys realize to just say no to sluts.

Please, discuss! Yes, even you boys- I know I kind of gave you the rough end of the stick here, but feel free to defend, agree, disagree to your hearts content.

Bret, please talk dirty to me!

2010-09-02T10:43:00.002-04:00

Last night I had the privelage of seeing the one, the only, Bret Michaels in concert at the Maryland State Fair!
It was great, he played for a solid hour and a half and he talked openly with the crowd about his recent health problems. He was so thankful to be alive and that we were all there celebrating life with him!

Highlights: Opening song, Talk Dirty to Me (Poison Style) the crowd went nuts. Bret's cover of Sublime's "What I Got" was surprising, but really entertaining! And Closing out with, "Nothing But A Good Time"- the extended, thank-you-all-for-coming-out version!
Another sneak peak was that Bret will be starring in a new reality show on VH1 called, "Life as I Know It"- and I'm not sure if this has been advertised yet, but its coming in October (or Rocktober as I affectionately know it as). The VH1 cameras were on stage in full force so look for me in the crowd waving my hands and holding my lighter!

Bret was really great, so personal to everyone in the audience. I loved that he didn't sprint off the stage as soon as their last song was over like most bands. He stayed around and made an honest attempt to wave to every person individually. And he's a hometown boy, raised in the 'Burgh and of course a Steeler's fan!

I only wish I could've gotten a taste of his Rock of Love.

Flashback Friday!

2010-08-13T11:27:00.002-04:00

Awww, how could we forget!
No seriously, they replay the shows every morning on TBS! It was definitely my favorite show to come home from school and watch. This cast of characters made us laugh, cry and most importantly, they taught us when to say NO to drugs!

Of course I'm talking about ....

SAVED BY THE BELL!

From Lisa's crazy fashion sense and credit card issues to Jessie's drug addiction and manic-depressive outcries for help, Saved By the Bell defined the 90s generation!
How can we not love any show that inserts a crowd pleasing "WOOOOOOO" every time A.C. Slater walks on the set, flips his chair around, and says something profound.
And as we found out, Zack (or "Preppy" as he was known to Slater) will never learn that all his tricks and scheming never grant him a happy ending! Oh except when he finally gets to marry the love of his life, Kelly, and vacation off into the sunset! And last, but certainly not least, Screech Powers- he helped us realize the dangers of lightning strikes and its after effects! And now Screech is a washed-up diva bouncing around from various reality TV shows.

Here's to you SBTB!

Victoria's Secret Goes Pro!

2010-08-12T14:00:00.003-04:00

My day just got ten times better when I saw that Victoria's Secret was debuting their new line of Professional Sport's Team Apparel.

Now, not everyone's favorite team is available yet- I'm not sure how they decided on the teams, but my football and baseball team both made the cut!
I am first and foremost, as it is my hometown, a Pittsburgh Steelers Fan! And I am getting these for sure...

www.victoriassecret.com/pink/shop-by-team

Cute Pants, huh?
I can just see it now, sweet team sweatpants, a beer, some pizza, and a grueling game! This will be a day made in heaven.

My Hangover Guest Blog!

2010-08-12T10:33:00.003-04:00

I did a lil guest post for Katie over at Life with the Dietrich's about my go-to hangover cures. So if you a feeling a little under par at work today because of that last night's wine-bottle chugging, Gossip Girl Season Two Marathon-Watching, I hate my f'n-job bashing evening- then this post is for YOU (oh, just me, huh?) Hey! Don't judge, it was a rough day.

Well, maybe I will go over there and take a dose of my own advice. Some one get some Tylenol please!

Love the Way You Lie Video

2010-08-09T10:43:00.002-04:00

Okay, so I just- literally one minute ago- watched Eminem and Rihanna's new video for Love the Way Your Lie on Vevo. I mean I already loved the song, but the video really takes it a new level. The lyrics are obviously the bases of the scene portrayed by video stars Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan as they go from hot and heavy to throwing shit at each other. And in this occasion I could actually stand Megan's acting, mostly because she wasn't speaking at all, which is always a plus. And I think Dominic M. is freakin's sexy and his Eminem styled character pushed me over the edge with that man. Mmmmm.
But it is a slight draw back that his character is an abusive jerk. Here is a still shot from the video of the two when everything is all roses and candy:

Good video, strong and intense message. Probably shouldn't watch at work, unless you have a door to your office (which i do! hehe).

Flashback Friday 90's Music Edition!

2010-08-06T09:36:00.002-04:00

This Flashback Friday is brought to you by my local "lite FM" station that I listen to occaisionally hoping I will hear gems like I did this morning. Yep, I was driving myself into work and all of a sudden, these familiar beats fill my car as I slowly turn up the volume...

I, I got a new life,
you would hardly recognize me I'm so glad
How can a person like me, check on you?
I, why do I bother, when you're not the one for me..
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh... is enough enough?

Any guesses?

Think Nineties pop...

Of Course! Its THE SIGN by ACE OF BASE!

The two guys in the group aren't pictured on the cover, so here is the whole gang...

Ahhh, remember the days where Ace of Base ruled the pop-radio air waves!
Do yourself a favor and get on youtube and rock out once more to THE SIGN!

(best song evaaaaaaa)

Oh Look I'm over there today!

2010-08-04T09:32:00.002-04:00

I've ran over to another blog today. Liz in Life - needed some guest bloggers while she was on vacation, so I took the opportunity to write something a little different than what I usually go on about here. So if you would like to view my slightly less comical and more serious side, then hop over to Liz's blog and check out: When Life isn't all it's Cracked up to be...

So I was thinking the other day... which is never a good idea...

2010-08-02T09:08:00.003-04:00

When Harry Met Sally, and it goes like this:

Harry Burns: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her. Sally Albright: So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive? Harry Burns: No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too. Sally Albright: What if THEY don't want to have sex with YOU? Harry Burns: Doesn't matter because the sex thing is already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story. Sally Albright: Well, I guess we're not going to be friends then. Harry Burns: I guess not.

Snooki Style- "WAAAHHHHHH"

any suggestions oh wise readers?

Instead of a "where are they now?" approach, how about a "remember them when..." type of thing. Let's take some child actors, who actually managed to make the transition into mature acting (without the usual drug addictions, car accidents, jail sentences, and the like).

Remember this little tyke from the 1994 hit Angels in the Outfield?

Now he is fighting off dream bandits along side box-office billionaire, Leo DiCaprio, by day and breaking hearts by night- Joseph Gordon-Levitt, myyy myyy myyy- have you grown up.

Inception, 2010.

Alright and I'll thrown a bone to the men who read my shit (what like 5 of you?) but seriously, do you remember this little gal?

EEEkkkk! Thank goodness she came into her looks in the later years, now she is turning vampires into hopeless romantics for a chance to sex her up....

As Sookie Stackhouse, True Blood

Let's give a round of applause for these two for growing up normal... well fairly normal I hope.

I'm 24 and I openly admit to fist pumping to Justin Beiber on multiple occasions !

2010-07-29T13:29:00.002-04:00

So I just lied to the Teen Choice Awards about my age so I could vote!
I'm so lame, but IF I was in fact born in 1990, I feel that I would have voted in the same fashion as I just did!

I think you should do the same...

OH that's YOUR huge ass truck that I just back into?

2010-07-22T13:00:00.002-04:00

Yep this will be an installment of GoG putting yet another foot in her mouth (although this metaphor applies, i don't particularly enjoy thinking about it) but yes, I was officially embarrassed this morning and it goes a little something like this...

I was running out to get some delicious Greek Food from a local take-out place around the corner from our building. We now have a parking lot at the new office, so I parked on the far right row of cars (there is also a middle row of parking and a left side row of parking). So yes, I was in a hurry but before I know my car's ass hits right into this ridiculously long truck with a friggin' steal bumper! Literally this truck's back end is sticking so far out into my driving lane that I had to have this nice homeless man direct me out of the spot. I should have taken a pic as to how this truck clearly should not have parked in the middle row because it has one of those extended cab thingys that completely ruined my plans to leave the parking space. The homeless guy informed me that I messed my bumper and the truck's looked like nothing happened. When I got back from getting my food, I checked it out, and yes, my bumper was a little beat up and the truck was untouched. I come huffing into the office and start telling my roommate/coworker about how this "obnoxious red truck was parked too close to me!" and that I had backed into it when one of the new employees says, "did it have a beige top?" I responded "yeah, a ridiculously loooonnnggg beige top!"
"That's my truck" he says.
"Oh..." silence... "well I guess I backed into your truck, which looks fine by the way, not a scratch on it!"

And I scurry out of the room and vow to never say things out loud again.

Please share any of your "foot-in-mouth" stories so I don't feel like such an ass. Or just make fun of me, either way is fine.

Guest Blogger Talks Sex

2010-07-12T21:36:00.004-04:00

Oh my gosh everyone- this has been such a crazy week for me, besides grappling with my inevitable aging, I have literally not been on the actual internet for about a week now, and it is torture!! I wish it was only that I am a "lazy blogger" (courtesy of your lovely guest today, hehe) but I just have not been able to get on a computer for a while to put up this awesome post by my good bloggy friend Powdered Toast Man from Just the Cheese. I gave him the challenge of letting all the gals know what goes on in a typical male mind regarding females- well, hes honest and hilarious, so please enjoy and I will forward all comments, complaints, and questions you may have directly to him! :)

Sexy Talk

I have been called upon by Guilty of Gossip to share my thoughts and feelings about the female sex. You are probably wondering how guys calculate female attractiveness. Is it all looks? Does personality matter? I have to say that most guys probably think on the same wave length but when it comes down to details and specifics, we all like different things. I am planning on being completely honest and reveal what I find attractive in a woman. Please don't judge me, I was only born this way. Good thing my fiancee doesn't blog or she would probably have my head on a stake.

The first thing I notice about the female body are boobs, I am obsessed with them. Obsessed kind of sounds a little creepy. I am in awe of them. I don't know what is it about them. They are basically just lumps of flesh with a nipple at the end but I love them and for me, the bigger the better. Cleavage drives me crazy. Boobs are important to me, especially during foreplay. All I can say is that I am a guy and this is what guys think. I also love a sexy bra that really makes the boobs stand out. I think I might have a bra fetish (ask Nicole, she will tell you but seriously don't ask her, I will get into trouble).

Next I notice the face and hair. More specifically the eyes. I love when a woman knows how to make her eyes pop. I like mascara and eye-liner, for some reason it turns me on. I don't really care for eye-shadow unless it is done really well. I could care less about eye brows as long as they aren't all bushy or non existent. I don't notice when Nicole waxes them unless she tells me.

I don't have a preference in hair color or length, just as long as it looks good on the person styling it. I prefer Nicole's hair wavy instead of straight and up instead of down. It all depends on the shape of the woman's face. I don't like extreme blonde, it makes a woman look kind of slutty and dumb. I'm sorry if you are naturally extreme blonde.

Since I am still talking about a woman's noggin I will tell you the one major turn off I have. It can be describe in one word; snaggletooth. I can't stand bad teeth especially when there is a gap between the front two. I know that nobody can help having a gap but if I can kick a football through it, then no dice. One thing I don't understand is with all the money Michael Strahan (of the NY Giants) has, why doesn't he fix that crater in his mouth, it boggles my mind. Is that his trademark? But I digress.

I have learned through girls that I have dated that I like a woman with a little meat on her bones. I don't mean like 400 pounds but I don't want to be with someone that I can kill with a hug. The larger girls usually have bigger boobs, but I already touched on those. I enjoy a little extra cushin' for the pushin'. With more meat comes a bigger butt. I fancy a big badonkadonk and I'm a white guy (does that sound racist? It's meant to be funny).

Now ladies, there is such a thing as too tan. I don't care for the artificial tan. I like a natural tan. When I say natural, I'm not talking about the sun, I mean you were born that way. Nicole is half Puerto Rican so she has a natural tan, I find it sexy. That's not to say that getting your tan on at the beach isn't doing it for other guys. I cannot speak for all mankind, only Powdered Toast Men.

As far as legs go, they don't really do it for me. I usually only notice them when a woman has a skirt and high heels on. I like touching them when they are silky smooth but they are far down the list of what I find sexy and attractive about a woman. And I despise feet!! I think they are gross and I am kind of skeeved out by them. I can't understand people with a foot fetish. I only touch Nicole's feet under extreme circumstances like on an anniversary or when I am in trouble. I will probably have to rub them if she finds out about this post,shhh don't tell her. I will give you money. Okay I don't have money, I will bake you cookies or mow your lawn but not both.

I like girls with glasses and I prefer hoop earnings to any other kind. There are a lot of little things about what girls wear and how they look but this post is getting rather lengthy so I won't go into anymore detail on looks.

I will briefly touch upon personality and whatever else I can think of. A good laugh can be sexy. I need a girl with a good laugh because I am sarcastic 92.37% of the time. I don't want to brag but I have a great sense of humor and if a girl has a bad laugh then it's the equivalent to bad teeth.

Confidence can also be very sexy, I like it when a girl is really sure of herself. A girl loses some points if she is very self conscience and unsure of herself. If you act sexy then you will feel and look sexy.

That's about all I can think of right now. Maybe Guilty of Gossip will allow me to do a follow up post if I need to. Ask me any questions you wish, I am a used book, everyone has read me.

its my party and i'll do what i want thanks

2010-07-08T08:07:00.002-04:00

Well everyone I am officially as old as there are hours in a day! Yep- that's 24 for all us non-mathematicians!
And of course my lovely boss relays the message through my roommate that I need to come in early for work today- on my birthday, yes, that's exactly what I want to do! Well here's to getting older and thus having to drink substantially more alcohol to cope with it all.
Happy B-day to me! Cheers!

Come on Over Today- You Won't Regret it!

2010-07-01T09:35:00.002-04:00

Well hello there and welcome to my new wonderful blog design!
Don't You LOVE IT!? I do, and that's basically all that matters, just kidding I care what you guys think (j/k, but seriously...)
Let me know if you like and I must give ALL of the credit to Amber at Zany Dezines!

Well that's all for now, but let me tell you- a new blog design= a new take on life for GoG- so stay tuned because I am going to be getting some shenanigans this summer... yes ma'am.
Grab the button everybody!

Week is almost over and I am having this guy come rescue me from my awful job and whisk me away to Ocean City, MD for the extended weekend- see you when I return! This commercial is hilarious though, give a spin.

Whats up Chi-Town?!

2010-06-24T15:47:00.006-04:00

Okay- I apologize for getting around to this post so late! I returned from a lovely trip to Chicago, IL- it was my first time (yes please insert all virgin jokes here.)
My flight started off rather "turbulent"-we were delayed two hours because Chicago was literally getting rocked by intense thunderstorms and then once we got in the air, we had to go directly through previously mentioned storms.
BUT! There was a light at the end of my tunnel, ladies and gents- always, always, always check the Southwest drink menu for their various "holidays" in which they give out a FREE alcoholic (or as they say "spirited") beverage! I saw that I was lucky enough to be flying on June 18th, a.k.a Southwest's Birthday! So Happy Birthday Southwest and thanks for the Vodka Cran.
And I would like to give a shout-out to the out of control drunk girl that sat in front of me! You make the term "Baby-mama drama" sound easy... (this girl's daughter was in the care of her boyfriend's other baby mama, yep, but she said its better off that way :/) I was pretty sure that the flight attendants were going to have to carry her off the plane at one point, but we had already taken off!

I met up with two of my BFF's from my year in St. Louis (Trix and C) and we went on a boat tour of Chicago- we were first dreading this event, but I called ahead and made sure they served adult beverages on the boat- and they do. It was great! Amazing views of the city...
This building that is dead center is actually known as the "vagina building"- do I need further explanation, or do we all get why? It was a female architect as well.

Here are some of the peeps on the boat tour and a great view of the city off in the distance.
It was super exciting to see two of my girls that i loved with last year, but unfortunately, Trix had to fly home early because her dad is in the hospital ( so send your love and prayers for her and her family) Thanks. Love you Trix!

There were some great memories made...
Our boat tour guide had told us that it was this one bridge's birthday.. so therefore drunk me decided to wish all of the bridges happy birthday on the tour- and there were lots of bridges.
Classic Trix quote, "No, you cannot make out with one of my students."- who did she say this to? hmmmmmm.
And Classic C- "fuck i'm gonna hit this car." (in a super calm voice) and she seriously was about to hit that car.

And Chicago further proved to me, that seriously, any combination of meat, cheese, sauce, and crust works for me- I will not be taking sides on the New York Vs. Chicago Style Pizza Deabte- i love it all.

Yes, I will have the World Cup with a side of Hot Men Please.

2010-06-14T14:56:00.004-04:00

In honor of the 4 week Hottie-fest known as the World Cup, I believe they play soccer as well (hehe), I have put together a little top ten best looking players list.

Enjoy...

10. Landon Donovan(U.S.)
9. Tim Cahill (Australia)

8. Thierry Henry (France)

7. Steven Gerrard (England)

6. Siphiwe Tishbala (South Africa)

5. Cesc Fabregas (Spain)

4. Yoann Gourcuff (France)

3. Fabio Cannavaro (Italy)

2. Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)- Mmmm... highest paid player, I see why.

1. Benny Feilhaber (U.S.)

There you have it. 'nough said.

They're Pretty and Little- but most importantly they're LIARS!

2010-06-09T09:49:00.005-04:00

Before I start my review post... I would like to pause to recognize a great mile stone that GoG has reached. Some bloggers get excited when the reach 100 followers, some hold out their joy until they reach an even higher amount like 500- but over here at GoG, we do things a little differently. So without any further ado- please let me hear a round of applause because GoG has reached

69
fabulous followers. That's right, taking it back to the old school of laughing every time I hear the number 69 (I have provided the Urban dictionary link in case you need a short refresher). Rock out everyone, this is surely something to celebrate!

On with your regularly scheduled program...

So last night I willingly sunk my teeth into this new ABC Family (who knew you could get away this stuff) teen drama known as Pretty Little Liars. I was sold when I read an Entertainment Weekly article that described the show "Gossip Girl meets I Know What You Did Last Summer."
Brialliant.

Pilot episode.
LOVED IT!

It's set in a small Pennsylvania Town (In my mind it takes place at my Beaver County, PA High School, but that's just me I guess) called Rosewood. The set up is a group of 5 girls lose one of their crew mysteriously after a night of drinking. Then the group is haunted by the text-messaging-ghost of their missing friend, Allison. YIKES!
The scandals are chock full of cheating fathers, teacher-student relations, boyfriend stealing, and much more I'm sure. I love a good show with secrets and lies and this looks like it will fulfill all that I need in a good evening drama. This will definitely tide me over until the return of Jersey Shore.

You can catch Pretty Little Liars Tuesday nights at 8pm eastern.

Let's Celebrate! random TMI, etc. etc.

2010-05-28T10:41:00.003-04:00

Alright so Friday is here and I am heading down to my fav vacation spot Ocean City, MD!

There are a lot of changes going on right now that I am super excited about concerning the blog!
First of all, if you noticed, I am now officially a dot-com, no more blogspot needed! YAY!

GuiltyofGossip.com
hell yeah.

also, stay tuned to the unveiling of my new layout from Amber@ZanyDezines coming soon!

I have recently moved into a new apartment with one of my coworkers and we have been running on no sleep this weekend because we have been talking non-stop! Its been really great so far and I couldn't be happy with how it all turned out!

My quick TMI story happened yesterday when I was at a work-related symposium. Of course I was in-fact donning a cute black, gray, and white skirt from Old Navy which seemed to be attracting a lot of attention (and yes i wanted every bit of said attention). So its after lunch (pizza hut) and I start to get that feeling that I need to take care of something in the restroom (LOL, that is such a gentle way of writing it.) So I sneak out in the middle of a panel discussion thinking that there would not be many people in the bathroom to begin with. When I walk in, there is a woman in there who says to me...
"Oh! I was hoping you would come in here! I wanted to tell you how much I LOVE your skirt! Where did you get??!!"
So I tell her the details and thank her for fawning over me, but I really needed to do what I came her for. I close my stall door and you know, start things off. Then I hear another toilet flush and the lady who complemented my skirt was still at the sink. I hear the other woman say,
"Where is this cute skirt you are talking about! I must see it!"
UHHHHHHHHH. Sorry I'm not available for modeling at this particular moment. And then the first lady tells her that I am in the stall and it just becomes awkward that I am pressured to come out quickly so this unknown woman could also look at my outfit- and there is nothing a woman hates more than pressure in the bathroom! Or the fact that they will soon realize I am doing more than peeing when it goes bast the 5 minute mark of time.
But I held my ground and proceeded and just hoped this lady would leave the bathroom, and she did eventually. eeeeekkk- people are so ridiculous.

And I know everyone has had a boss that is just totally obnoxious, but whatever... my boss's ringtone right now is the "Give my that fillet-o-fish" song, which takes my annoyance to a entirely new level.

And then to top my day off yesterday, my hilarious yoga teacher decided to play and dance to the song "the twist" by Chubby Checker to get us excited for an entire class on twist poses!
Just envision a 40-something white guy twisting around the room with the goofiest smile on his face. But i'm obsessed with him, so its awesome.

That's all, happy weekend! :)

Seriously Eenie Meenie?

2010-05-25T11:02:00.003-04:00

Don't you get so mad at yourself when you absolutely are obsessed with a song that is incredibly ridiculous! Well, right now, that lamo gal is me and I cannot stop listening to Sean Kingston and Justin Beiber totally butcher a school yard jingle. But the issue is it is soo damn catchy!

But do they seriously say "Catch a bad chick by her toe?" really guys? no one in the editing room thought that was creepy? I beg to differ, I do not want any guy coming near my feet in any way.

Wine-ohs, new beginnings, and actual Gossip.

2010-05-18T09:39:00.004-04:00

So this past weekend I ventured out to an event known as 'Wine-in-the-Woods' which is a huge fair ground filled with numerous tents and booths. Local wineries and food sellers come out and offer free tastings of their products. Yes there was an admission price, but other than that, most of the booths gave tastings of their wines for free. So gallivanting from tent to tent trying reds, whites, sparklings, etc. we found our favorites, purchased a few bottles, shared some AMAZING crab dip, and napped {passed out} on golf chairs.
In other news...
I am officially moving out and into my first real apartment!
I discovered my roommate working just two floors below me in my office and we hit it off instantly! We soon found out we were both looking to move into a new place and decided to combine our efforts and before I knew it we were signing our lease! The apartment community looks awesome, I'm pumped to spend my weekend lounging next to the enormous pool and sweatin' it out at the fitness center. And what can be more exciting that DECORATING your own space. I am taking suggestions for overall themes and let me know of any good stores I should check out!

And finally... the season finale of my muse, Gossip Girl, actually packed in some heat last night. It was full of cheating, betrayals, pregnancy, and murder attempts- just like old times I said as the season came to an end. And of course the writers do this to me to make sure I do not completely give up on a show that started off so strong, but had dwindled in its latest season. I must admit, I will return for next season to see these things all play out!

Its Friday, Its Tradition!

2010-05-14T09:59:00.004-04:00

I'm obsessed

2010-05-11T10:11:00.003-04:00

Well- my day yesterday was not fun.
I already informed everyone of the lady who ferociously wrote down my license plate number in an attempt to scare me into to driving better (didn't work hunny) and then I dropped my blackberry off of the balcony at work and watched it plummet into pieces on the pavement.
Well- I couldn't stand to look at my shattered screen for another six months, so I went out to the old verizon store and spent my government tax check on a brand new Motorola DROID.

Yes I am obsessed with it, although it still confuses me. But so far i just feel special when I am holding it and thats all the matters!
Happy Tuesday!

Really, you just did that?

2010-05-10T09:27:00.005-04:00

So I am peacefully driving into work today- coffee in hand, morning radio talk show blasting, when it comes time for me to merge into the two lanes that exit off the highway. These two lanes are always packed and its tough to merge cause no one wants to let you in, but usually I find a way with no issues attached.
NOT TODAY MY FRIEND, NOT TODAY.
So I begin to merge in front of an obnoxious silver SUV- not the cute sporty mom type SUV, the huge road hog type of SUV. There was a small but doable space for my lil car to squeeze in. So I put on my turn signal and begin to drift over. OF course this asshole of a chic starts to speed up to block me out. But little did she know, I never back down from a driving decision. So I hold my ground (halfway in her lane and half on the other) She pulls up next to me to in a sense push me out of the lane with her bulky piece of medal. And I said, "go ahead and hit me, see what happens"- but I don't think she could read lips very well.
So then I finally make her realize I ain't goin no where and she backs off.
THEN! To show me that she is such a BAD ASS. She starts flailing about her vehicle searching for ... dun dun duuuuunnn- A PEN and PAPER! Oh and she lets me see that she is frantically writing down my license plate number! Her head is looking up and down between her notepad and my back end (hehe).
Oh girl you got me now! just explain to the 9-1-1 line that they have nothing better to do than track down a car that cut you off in merging city traffic! TELL THEM PLEASE!
I wish I would have snapped a quick mobile pic of this all, cause it was a sight to see.
So I will be awaiting my call from the Baltimore P.D.

This has been another installment of BAD ASS DRIVERS. gosh i wish i was one of you.

I want your Body... not in a sexual way.. but maybe.

2010-05-07T10:30:00.006-04:00

Okay- so the other day as I was re-committing to my diet/exercise plan, I was thinking of ways to really motivate myself. Sometimes I like to dream to that way off in the future point when I achieve a slammin' in-shape body. So right now I would like to do a little Top Three action titled:

Top Three Bodies I would want to have:

Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussy Cat Dolls

who you can now see shakin' her stuff on Dancing With the Stars.

Jessica Simpson
now I know she fluctuates, but who doesn't- when she is on top of her game though, her body is gorgeous. As seen here.

And: Eva Mendes
plus she is kind of a Bad Ass.

Oh and the top three post idea comes from Keeping up with Kelly. She is the master of all things top three- so maybe she'll do this topic soon!

and of course it is friday follow somewhere so if you are visiting from:

please leave me a comment so I can follow you back!
Thanks for stopping in!

Fabulous Food Friday!

2010-05-07T08:36:00.002-04:00

Hello Hello- go on over to Kelly's site Between the Lines and check out my lil feature for her latest installment of Fabulous Food Friday where she is featuring a new recipe every week!

And try my pasta salad- it's amazing, you won't regret it!

Thanks again Kelly- great job on the feature! :)

Angels and Airwaves Concert!

2010-05-05T10:15:00.003-04:00

Well- this concert ... ROCKED!

I had a blast- Angels and Airwaves with Say Anything as the opening band at Baltimore's Rams Head Live. My friend, J and I took full advantage of our hotel's social happy hour (a.k.a free beer) before we walked over to the venue. We maneuvered our way right up front (as soon as we were able to push out this fourteen year old gay couple) and we were able to snap some really great pics...

A and A has an amazing sound and awesome vocals from the former Blink 182 front man, Tom Delonge. I encourage everyone to check out their stuff, they have three albums out to date and their most recent, LOVE, is available for a free download on their Website.

The band played a bunch of songs for a good 2 hours, great show, great energy.

A and A's HOT guitarist, David Kennedy.

Let me feel you, carry you higher

Watch our words spread hope like fire

Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

The moon you've felt, it has no side

That's dark like hell, or safe from light

Just blown apart, by wind from stars
With white dust tides to pull on ours

Love 'em! Obsessed, yes. Can't stop listening to them!

Big Girl, You are Beautiful!

2010-04-29T09:01:00.003-04:00

With the title of this post from music's happiest singer/songwriter MIKA, I begin my rant on the latest commercial controversy surrounding the new ad campaign from Lane Bryant. Lane Bryant is a clothing store geared toward the stylish, curvy ladies of the world. When they sent their new commercial to ABC and Fox, both voiced issues immediately. ABC outright refused to show the ad and Fox demanded edits in order for the commercial to be shown in the spot LB had already paid for. Yes, the commercials are sexy because LB is promoting their new lingerie line for big-busted women, but LB's retort is nothing more than... ummm, Victoria's Secret ads? anyone?

Star of the LB commercial, plus size model, Ashley Graham said, “It’s sad to me... I feel sad for all the plus-size women in America…The majority of women in America are size 12, 14 and 16 and want to see themselves on television.”

And it really is sad that this double standard is blatantly being voiced by two prominent TV organizations.

While watching Shioban get kicked off American Idol last night (finally!) - they did run a LB commercial, but it was not the one that is causing all the fuss, so I am not sure if the "risqué" one will end up in prime time - but the ad is getting it's fair share of hits on YouTube...

And I did see a commercial for the Victoria's Secret, The Nakeds Collection that same night and here it is...

hmmm... ?

Well while the bigwigs hash it out - I will end once again with MIKA's well written lyrics and grab my 'diet coke and a pizza please'

Yep, I'm 5 years old cause I have Step, Kick A**, and Fresh Margs!

2010-04-26T08:54:00.006-04:00

So last friday I went to the doc's and she gave me the ridiculous news that I have somehow contracted Strep Throat- even though I have NO tonsils and I have been strep free for 15 years! Somehow, someway- I have it. Luckily my symptoms weren't too bad. But the antibiotics I am on are obsoletely enormous.

But hopefully this will rid my body of any lurking bacteria!

And of course on a weekend when I legitimately have an excuse to lay around and watch trashy reality T.V., I have like the busiest weekend ever!

First on Saturday morning I woke up bright in early to complete the 5K for fighting MS. It was an amazing turn-out and the weather couldn't have been better! I raised $160 from all my lovely supporters and our team raised nearly $2,000.

Then I went out to watch my amazing Pittsburgh Penguins finish up their first playoff series against the Ottawa Senators in a grueling overtime match. On to the next one.

Sunday I drove about an hour from my house for a job interview that I may possible do part time. No, I WILL do part-time, not only for the extra cash and the further career experience, but mainly because the guy who interviewed me and will be my boss... is... GORGEOUS!

He is a blonde haired, blue-eyed Ukrainian piece of hottness. And I am going to get on him immediately.

I will let you all know when I go from working part-time to working over-time. (sexual innuendo)

I then got to spend an impromptu afternoon with a long lost friend of mine. She only lives an hour away, but when you are dealing with the drive from Baltimore to D.C., it can seem like millions of miles. But we had a great afternoon that included a new book from B&N, quick coffee run, hilarious movie, and drinks and dinner at a great little Tex-Mex restaurant in Del Ray.

We saw the movie, Kick Ass (or Kick A**, as my movie ticket reads)- it was awesome.

Really funny and violent and so bad ass for having a 12 year-old girl cussin' like a sailor. As the movie progressed I felt myself becoming more and more attracted to the main high school kid turned superhero- which may be creepy, but i believe I am excused because in real life the actor, Aaron Johnson, is almost 20- so its legal.

Oh and I totally forgot about not drinking while I'm on these antibiotics, but I had a slammin' Patron Margarita on Sunday evening!

Happy Monday!

Big Ben- the talk of the town.

2010-04-22T10:56:00.004-04:00

Well- if you don't know, I have been a die-hard Steelers fan since I moved to the Burgh when I was 5 years old. I have maintained my devotion throughout my stay in St. Louis and partied HARD in the 314 during the 2009 Superbowl Championship Game! I also have remained faithful while living in "enemy territory" a.k.a Baltimore, MD. It has been tough recently with all the "how bout yur quarterback?!" talk and accusations. Us Pittsburghers always come to the defense of our blacklisted players, but Ben's recent troubles have been extremely difficult to defend. I feel that we all gave Ben the benefit of the doubt when the first rumor/ civil suit came out from his vacation in Tahoe last fall. Ben gave a statement that he was innocent and I believe him and still do about this first 'occurrence'. Now- I don't doubt that something sexual went down- but I think this girl from Tahoe was out for some money after she realized she slept with a big-time NFL player.

But then this second case comes out in the media from Georgia. And the details released from the hospital are very hard to hear. Also hearing that Ben's bodyguards were in on the whole ordeal is even more disheartening. There is definitely two sides to every story and both parties involved were heavily intoxicated. I think Ben needs some rehab for both Alcoholism and just an all together "attitude adjustment."

Now- about the suspension that came down yesterday from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell -

YES, I think it is WAY harsh for an player who was not convicted of a crime. I think that a suspension of 2 to 4 games would have been more on target with the present circumstances.

At some point you have to ask if you are hurting the team for one player's actions.

6 games puts the Steeler's past the bye week and they would have to face the Ravens without a seasoned-starting quarter-back. I think that Goodell is going to have to hand down way more suspensions than he is ready to with this new precedent he is setting. He is saying that any player who is either suspected or has a civil case against him should be subject to conduct punishment. There is already questions about whether or not the NFL will suspend the Indianapolis Colt's DT, Eric Foster who is being sued for sexual assault. The Colts have stated they will not suspend Foster BECAUSE 'police investigated the incident and prosecutors later decided not to file charges.'- this is the same situation Ben has been suspended under. So I say- Equal Suspensions for Equal Conduct.

At this point, I am ready to support the Steelers if they decide to keep Ben or if they decide to trade. Sure I believe in second chances, and if Ben goes to some rehab, I think he could turn his life around. I also agree that this added attention is NOT what the team needs to get back on a track toward the Super Bowl- and I will be there cheering my Steelers on to another victory!

Tell what you think of the 6 game suspension...

I'm Outta Here!

2010-04-16T09:51:00.007-04:00

It might only get up to the mid-forties this weekend, but I will be in the beach-town known officially as Ocean City, MD. I have an appointment with a wonderfully relaxing day spa and then I will be drinkin' it up by night! I don't care how cold it's going to be down there, but it just feels great to get AWAY for the weekend. I plan on putting the blackberry on silent and leaving the laptop at home! I'm so pumped! I am hoping to make some head-way on my current 'bedtime' story and get some great seafood! I will def be cruisin' the boardwalk by day and warming up with some Thrasher's Fries by night (if you don't know about 'em... you are missin' out!)

Hopefully I will be getting into some shenanigans as well...

Have a great weekend everyone!

Peace!

Sex Quiz- Do it!

2010-04-13T09:27:00.004-04:00

This is a link quiz that I really couldn't pass up! Oh and let me give this little disclaimer, cause I saw others doing it- CAUTION SEX TALK BELOW!

But go join the linky fun over at Dose of Reality.

At what age did you lose your virginity?
15

Any good sex tips or advice?
choose wisely.

Lights on or off when you have sex?
Both work depending on what type of mood you are going for- or if you are confident

Have you ever been caught in the act of having sex?
Yeah- its called college, roommates, friends, etc. but nothing too embarrassing. Except this one time behind a grocery store in a car- by the cops.

Ever catch your parents (or kids) having sex?
NO no and NO.

The dreaded Invite List...

2010-04-12T14:38:00.004-04:00

So do you ever get this great idea to throw a party?
Okay, yeah, I'm going to throw a sweet party.

Now the details: it should be in the summer, maybe BBQ, or Hawaiian themed?
I should rent one of those awesome pavilions at the park.
It'll be gorgeous.
Food, friends, family, music, laughing, and more!
And when you imagine your fantastic party, you see everyone that will be there.
Then, you sit down to actually write the...invite list.

It comes easy at first... start with immediate family and work my way out. Then it goes to friends that are pretty much like family, okay those were simple too.
But then you get to the one friend (friend A), who if you invite friend A.. it would probably be rude to not invite friend B- who you normally wouldn't invite if it was up to you. Then if you invite A and B, well then what about C? They were kind of in that same group in college and if you don't invite C, then you will have basically invited your whole group, except C! Well then I am leaving out C, and I don't want to do that.
Plus! IF A and B are invited, they might assume C would be invited too. Therefore putting A and B in an awkward situation if they bring it up to C. "Hey C, want to carpool to the BBQ?"- "What BBQ?" says C.
And this is the chaos that takes place in my mind, daily.

Then it always gets to this major issue.. if I am inviting A, B, and C, well then what about D (and 'D' in this scenario happens to be the ex-D, and the lettering is utterly ironic.) Yep. In school it was the good 'ole fab five- three girls and two guys...roommates even.
So then I think.. if I am FORCED into inviting D- then how do I make SURE that D's new g/f (and yes of course she is a whore) won't tag along? Sure you would think according to 'ex-etiquette' -if D decides to come to his ex's party, he would not bring the new toy. But D was never one for etiquette of any sort.

So here I am. Invite list halted in order to remedy this impossibly confusing group dynamic.
Wahhhhhh. It all started off so nice.
Advice por favor.
And if you would like to attend my awesome BBQ- let me know! :)

I'm Ridiculously Awkward, I Sweat Entirely too Much, and I can't Stand Germaphobs!

2010-04-08T15:01:00.004-04:00

Okay, so this past week I had a lot of exciting things going on! I spent a lovely weekend with my family in Ohio for the Easter Celebrations and then had to drive back to MD, only to hop back in my car for a trip up to Philly for an interview.
The interview was for this INTENSE grad-school position at a Catholic University. The interview was set to last from 9am-3pm on Tuesday. So I drove up Monday evening and was able to stay on campus with one of the current interns. He was a complete gentleman and I felt we really hit it off, until.. she showed up. UGHHHHHHHH- another candidate for the position was miss- "talk about myself until no one will be able to stand me anymore." Don't get me wrong, I'm sure she is a nice girl and I'm sure her friends have to be GREAT listeners cause there is no way they will ever get a word in. Every tv show anyone brought up, she watched. Any sports team someone mentioned, she knew all about. She made sure to inconvenience our host by mentioning she could not miss her run on Tuesday morning- so he would have to come back to let her back into the dorm building, or I would have to let her in.. yeahh that's gonna happen. Oh, and she didn't just leave it at a run, it was totally necessary to tell everyone that she was training for a half-marathon next month! come on, half- that's nothing.( yeah i know, i can barely walk a half marathon, but whatever).
But at least I was the first to arrive because that meant I got the bed! :)
The morning started off fine.. with like a mile and a half walk in the eighty degree heat while I'm wearing a full business suit, no big deal. It's a pretty big deal, because my bangs freak out as soon as they feel the slightest bit of humidity! Then, we get into the office where are interviews are taking place and the air conditioning is not on.. needless to say, I'm sweating like whore in church, which oddly enough is the usually actual situation and not the metaphorical.
So Miss Perfect claims shes sweating too, and I'm like, hunny, your 100 lb. ass does not know how a real woman sweats. And its just quite insulting for her to say that to my face while I'm catching my forehead sweat in a cup.
Let's just hope the school believes in that old adage- "Success is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration."-Thomas Edison

Regardless of my perspiration, I think I did very well in my interviews, all four of them! geesh. So then at the end of the day on my final mile and half walk back to the dorm, I hear a snap as my 3 inch heal starts to break from the rest of my shoe. WONDERFUL! I limp back to my car and proceed to take off the majority of my clothes because my car's AC is broke!

Then today- me, my coworker, and our boss are working on stuff/ having a meeting at Panera because it was unbearably hot on our floor in the office. So, we all got the same size iced teas. At one point during our conversation, I accidentally grab my boss's drink instead of mine, and both were in my vicinity! So I take a sip without even noticing and when I set it down and see my drink a little to my right, I'm just like "Oops! I just grabbed your drink and not mine, I'm sorry"- trying to joke about it... My boss says, "oh that's okay, I don't have anything," -but as she says this, she quickly removes her straw! Like, seriously? I don't know, maybe I'm overreacting, but I have worked with her for almost a year now and I take one small sip from her drink and its OVER! she just pulls it out and sets it in her trash. Then when my coworker goes to get refills for everyone, she asks for a 'new' straw.

Let's not forget who stood in line for your damn tea and who juggled three obnoxiously large drinks and got like every pack of sugar you could possibly want- except the one you actually did want of course, damn you 'sugar in the raw'.
Anyway.. I have held back from writing stories about my crazy boss, but this was too much for me. I was literally just laughing in my head for the rest of this meeting.

Well, that is my week in a nutshell. I hopefully will have good news about the grad school position soon, but I'm not really holding my breath.

Guess Whose Back?

2010-03-31T12:37:00.004-04:00

Christina Aguilera will release her latest album this coming June and below you will find her first single. What do you think?
I really like the album cover, very intriguing- but i'm not sure about the song, it feels to britney-esque, aka, unoriginal. I really like her Back to Basics album because it was so unique- but maybe some of the other songs on the album will be gems. We'll See!

*Appendage*

For all my little emo buddies out there.. BREAKING NEWS the original Taking Back Sunday is reunited! The announcement that Matt Fazzi and Matt Rubano were leaving the band came out early this week, shortly followed by the release of this video with the quickly running quote, "Sometimes it takes some time to remember where you were headed in the first place and the people you intended to go there with. There's no hard feelings, just the future."
Most of the original fans of the band are pumped for the re-addition of John Nolan and Shaun Cooper-Count me among those.
Here is the effectively dramatic, but mostly random video announcement:

Wrong way on a One-way Street

2010-03-29T08:44:00.001-04:00

It is the 5th time I have circled the 2200 block of St. Paul Street with no luck on finding a parking spot. I cut through the alley to see that the two-car driveway that we own is full, so when I reach the end, I have to make a crucial decision...

Do I turn right and therefore have to turn left and go another two blocks down to get back on my street (because of one-way streets) or do I chance the left turn, which would place me going the wrong direction for a short 500 feet and then I could make a quick turn onto my street and continue my never-ending search for a parking spot.

I chance it and take the left turn, so other cars were in sight, I pull up to the light as a maneuver my way into position to pursue my discreet, yet illegal, turn. I pull over close to the curb to be mistaken as a parked car for any onlookers. Of course, an older gentleman, decked out in a three-piece suit is watching me this entire time. He crosses in front of my car and approaches my rolled-down window slowly...
"You do know this is a one-way street, right?"
"Yeah, I do." I say matter-of-factly.
"Oh, are you lost? do you need directions?"
"Nope, it's just one of those days..."
The elderly man bursts into fits of laughter- "Ohhh girl, don't I know it!" He begins to walk away clutching his stomach, "That's a good one... one of those days, ohhhh myy!"
I completed my turn and slid into a spot right in front of my building...
Yep. One of those days.

No Trilogy-No Rules, rumor confirmed:SCREAM 4

2010-03-24T10:21:00.004-04:00

I am a HUGE fan of any kind of scary movie (i.e. bad scary movies, horror films, thrillers, psyco killers, etc.) So when I picked up on the rumor mill about a possible SCREAM 4...I was elated!
Not only was the original Scream trilogy, a mastermind of comedy/horror flicks- but they mad a TON of money off of them! The money part is mainly why the Weinsteins decided to revisit the decade-old cult classic.
And what is even more exciting is that they are doing it right by recruiting the people that made the Scream franchise gold in the first place: Wes Craven has officially signed on to direct and actors Courtney Cox, David Arquette, and Neve Cambell are all set to start filming this spring.
The intended release date is April 2011 and I will be counting down the minutes until this moment- hopefully a midnight showing will be made possible.
Basic premise: Sidney Prescott, now a counselor at her Alma Mater Woodsboro High, is ripped from her complacent life when a student is murder and Ghostface Killer is the suspected murderer!
Scream 4 has been granted an official "in-production" page on IMDB.com with the tagline: "New Decade, New Rules!" (which i love.)- and we all know that this website is the god of all movie sites- so once it is written, it is so.
Other mentioned taglines, and you must *hear them with the voice of the scary preview guy*...

"This time there's no one here to help her."

"Now anyone can be the murderer."

"10 years in the waiting..."

"It ends here, the true final act..."

"Someone has taken their love of breaking trilogies one step too far..."

"With no trilogies, there's no rules..."

Whose else is pumped for this?!

New Music Tuesdays...I-tunes, don't sue me.

2010-03-23T15:05:00.002-04:00

Alright! I can't say I have "discovered" this new band on my own, but I got a little tip-off from the 98Rock morning show in Baltimore, MD- They were discussing the recent showcase of new and upcoming artists at the annual South By Southwest conference/music series. If you recall the days of the 16th season of The Real World (Austin), the cast's "job" was to direct and shoot their own documentary about the South By Southwest Festival by showcasing a few of the bands presented at the showcase.

They chose the semi one-hit-wonder band Hellogoodbye to be one of their focus bands for the series. Hellogoodbye had mild success and a hit single with "Here (In Your Arms)"- (yes, i'll admit, it's still on my ipod).

So at the 2010 South By Southwest Festival, another group is attempting to hit the mainstream charts, but it won't come without a conglomeration of confused, opposed, and utterly dismayed critics. The band is called Sleigh Bells from Brooklyn, NY and their first single is called "A/B Machines"- their sound classification is being called "Noise-pop" and I would have to agree with that.

I think their sound borders on "House" music- as we know, House music is NOT sexual according to Snooks from JS and no cheating can ever take place during such a soundtrack! But anyway, my review is, I like em.

Sleigh Bells: A/B Machines

Similar Sounds...
-uhh this is hard... maybe 3Oh3! a way more intense version of The Ting Tings?

You will like them if...
-you like to listen to unique and possibly unpopular music
-you enjoy a bit of House mixed with a little Techo with a little heavy metal?

Enjoy and let me know what you think.. I expect mixed reviews, don't hold back.

Spartacus, way more than I bargained for! (TV Review)

2010-03-22T15:20:00.001-04:00

So the latest of shows available "on Demand" which I have become addicted to is Spartacus: Blood and Sand. This is a far cry from my typical show line-up, but I must say, I am very pleased with my decision. Here are my reasons for giving this show a thumbs up:

- gorgeously in-shape men (don't care if their abs are airbrushed on, that's fine)
- great Roman styling and costumes
- The famed EX-warrior princess (Xena, for those not aware)

- Intricate plot line (murder, intrigue, drama.)
- Affairs, sex with slaves, bastard children, lavish parties, lovers torn-apart
- Exciting fights amongst rip-muscled men
- Catty, devilish women plotting against each other
- Lots, seriously, LOTS of sex
- This Guy...

- And This Guy...

Who this show is NOT for:
- Kids
- Teenagers
- Adults who act like teenagers
- People who are squeamish about violence and blood
- People who are squeamish about sex scenes in general- especially soft-core porn
- People who do not appreciate nudity

But if you can handle it- I recommend it!
Spartacus: Blood and Sand on Starz on Demand.

American Idol: Alex- don't leeaavveee me!

2010-03-12T11:10:00.003-05:00

So after I dried my eyes from Alex Lambert's final performance on the American Idol stage last night, I knew I had to give him a tribute today. I LOVED this kid! He literally showed so much promise for the weeks to come, but America was not ready to give him a chance! His voice is very unique and ohhh so soothing to the ears.

I hope he gets a record deal and/or I'm holding out for a "judge's save" for him.
Even Ryan Seacrest- the corniest man alive- was struck by this untimely dismissal! He said you could hear a pin drop during the commercial break!

And if you feel, like i feel... then sign this petition- who knows if it'll help, but let's try! BRING ALEX BACK!

Oh and I shan't leave you without a slight rumor that I am starting... Alex and Shioban were totally hooking up.
LOOK at her TEARS in the video!

And yes, I cried from the moment Ryan read his name from the prompt card. I cannot handle it when guys cry!

Here is the actually video: VIDEO: American Idol Top 12 Selected! Lily Scott, Todrick Hall, Alex Lambert And Katelyn Epperly Voted Off | RadarOnline.com

Here is Alex singing another amazing song.

Everything's bigger in TEXAS

2010-03-11T12:06:00.001-05:00

So last weekend I SURPRISED an old friend of mine for her birthday. She had NO CLUE- which makes for the best kind of surprise. I had one of our mutual friends, J, pic me up from the airport and she told M that she was just going to stop by her dorm to drop off tickets to a show- this is M on the phone with, having no idea that I am sitting right across the table from J...

So we pull up to the entrance to M's building door, balloons and all- awaiting M...

wait for it...

OMG.

The photo explains it all.

I miss her soo much, so it was awesome to spend a birthday weekend with her- even though we got locked out of her dorm room Saturday night at 1am- no big deal though.

Little mini-reunion amongst friends is good for the heart...

What a Bitch (A Short Story From My Former Life as a Mean Girl)

2010-02-22T15:41:00.000-05:00

Over the weekend I was able to meet up with my college roommate- this basically turned into four hours of reminising on the various shenanigans that we got ourselves into during our undergraduate days. One of the stories in particular stuck out in my mind and I just can't resist posting it! There are certain points when a girl will regret how they treated other females, but this is not one of those times.. this girl got what she deserved, therefore, No Regrets!

(Skimming through the back story)
*At one point* Me, M, K, and A were ALL FRIENDS with eachother... didn't last long.
Me and M (although living right nextdoor to K and A) slowly seperated ourselves from K and A because things just weren't working out. They would purposely not invite us to things they were doing, but would make sure they were obnoxiously loud when passing our door- making their presence known. Eventually K and A have their own problems and A moves out. K, now with her boyfriend as her only roommate- decides to have loud, gross, fake-orgasm sex so that practically the entire hall can hear, but that is really just icing on the 'I cant stand you bitch' cake.
Here is a short description of K: she is the girl who acts wasted after one sip of beer and cannot stand when she isn't the center of attention- shes a loud, obnoxious, psyco-bitch basically.
One night, Me and M are throwing my (now-ex)b/f a surprise 21st b-day party in our room. We had about 15 people in our room and it was a sunday night (around 10pm). The party was great, the b/f had like 10 shots and we were all just hanging out. Well, a knock on the door comes and one of the RAs told us to turn down the music and just quiet down a little bit. We do, about half the crowd left and we completely turned off our music. Then, about ten minutes later, another knock on the door, same RA tells us that although he personally cannot hear us, our "neighbor is complaining." Me and M know immediately it is the evil K who is calling security on us every ten seconds. We agree to move the gathering to another location. M and me are pissed though, we had the room decorated and everything and that whore was ruining our party, and she is always ridiculously loud while screwing her b/f- so why should we be quiet? Before people started leaving- there was a loud pounding from the wall seperating our room from K's. And me and M may or may not have responded by yelling profanities and telling our bitchy neighbor to "fuck-off...cunt."
We all leave and go down to my b/f's room where we would not be 'told-on' by his neighbors. We decide to brain-storm revenge plots against K. Our one friend from out of town (a girl, btw.) gets the brilliant idea to pee in beer bottles and lean them up against K's door so that when she opens it the will spill into her room. Well... when this idea is said to a few drunk college guys, there is no stopping it. Two of the guys and one girl (the idea-woman) take turns in the bathroom with an empty beer bottle and return with the finished product. Me and M follow the three up to our floor and we just watched curiously as the two boys set the bottles up against her door. We quickly run back down and the night goes on... Me and M return to our room and go to sleep.

We are jolted awake with our door being pounded on. I ask Missy if she is awake and I look out our peep-hole to see a furious K wearing nothing but a towel! YIKES! I start laughing and telling Missy who is at our door when K screams, "I can hear you-whore! Open the fucking door!"
So, I oblige her and open my door.
"Oh you think thats funny what you did? Its not! I'm calling the police and you two are going to be expelled!" and some more rambling of whores, cunts, sluts, etc. She runs back to her room and I turn to M, who is still laying in bed, that I think she should get up. Before I even know it, M goes from 0-fuckin' pissed in ten seconds and runs down to K's door. M begins our defense,
"What the fuck are you even talking about- we did not do this you whore!"
K:"Oh yes you did! I heard you both outside my door last night!"
M:"You havent spoken to us in months, so Im not relying on your ability to recognize my voice! Just admit, this could have been anyone.. because NO ONE LIKE YOU!"
K:"Im calling the police! Get out of here slut!"
M:"Why don't you put some fuckin' clothes on before you start bitching next time."
K:"FAT WHORE!"
I see a security guard running down toward M who is charging toward K and at the last second he pulls M away and she comes back to the room. The security gaurd tells K to get dressed and then tell him what happened.
M and I just stand by our door as we listen to K telling the secuirty gaurd that she called the police and she will give them her statement. The security gaurd tries to tell her that once she calls the police then it is out of the university's hands- but K just keeps babbling on. Then we see two policemen walk down and they must have gone into K's room to talk. A few minutes later, we hear K say our room number and give our names to the cops. As we are watching through the peep-hole, the police walk by our room look at our door and say something along the lines of, "does she really think we care about a college prank?"
M and I start laughing and the police don't even stop to talk to us.

M and I did however spend the whole day in meetings with the administration, but we just stuck with our "it wasn't me story" and it turned out the admin thought K was a psyco anyway. But apparently K wrote out a ten page report about me and M stating word for word what we had said the night before. One of the admins asked if I would say this (referring to the word "cunt") and i just said "No sir, I would never even say that!" and he said that he thought that word was very out of character for me to say and that he would vouch for me and M because he had worked with me on student government a bunch of times. :) My halo is still intact with the admin, yes!

Morale of the story: K is a psyco and still is to this day... M and me find this story hilarious and would do it again in a second, The guys owe us BIG TIME because they never got in trouble for it. And- be careful who you live next to!

Oh Lent, you always make me think

2010-02-02T15:51:00.001-05:00

Lent is right around the corner, and with me being Christian and half Catholic (as I like to call it)- I am now pondering what I should "give-up" or try to do more of during the Lenten season.

I love fish (sushi, cod, bass, shrimp, lobster, you name it) so giving up meat on my Fridays isn't a huge deal to me. I like to take on something like a challenge during Lent, I think it formulates a better understanding of what faith/religion attempts to teach its lovely followers. My past sacrifices have included the usual suspects: pop(some may call it soda), sweets, desserts, fast food, swearing, etc.

And I do not abide by the "Sunday Rule" which grants a cheat day for Lenten sacrifices. Yes, it's true, the forty days of lent do not account for Sundays, but come on- how am I going to learn what it is like to live without something, if I can have it every seven days. Which leads me to broadcast what I think Lent is all about...

Learning to live without something in order to gain perspective on the perils of material things (and/or) adding something to your life that improves your relationship with God and with other people.

I think every person (religious or not) can gain from sacrificing something for forty days. So please, enthrall me with your past Lenten observations or suggestions for me to pursue in the coming season.

*I am not afraid of a challenge. In fact, I encourage it.

wooo- go lent.

Azul 17- i think i like you!

2010-02-01T12:32:00.001-05:00

http://www.azul17.com/

This past Friday evening, I attended a gathering with some friends at the new and buzz-worthy bar and lounge, Azul 17. It is conspicuously located within an unassuming strip mall off of Snowden River in Columbia, MD. I am always looking for closer-to-home locations to get a cold drink after work- because I usually have to go to downtown Baltimore for the bar/club scene- and that requires way more planning than I am used to. So it was nice to hear about this up-scale swanky joint in my neck of the woods.
Our group staked out a nice little corner and sat in these tiny modern chairs and crowded around our even smaller table. At first, I was not enjoying everything Azul had going on. I understood that it would be crowded because it is so new and everyone has been talking about it- but the service was a little slow. When I got my Traditional Margarita- I remember what I had come here for.. tequila. It was so smooth and fresh. Then I ordered a order of the Camarones a la Diabla (Shrimp sautéed with tequila & cilantro garlic butter, with diabla spicy salsa) It was really good, but definitely had a kick to it!
Then me and my friend G decided to do what you HAVE to do at a tequila bar and ordered a shot of Patron (blanco). Azul mixes the chilled shot with their salt and lime juice concoction. At first I was apprehensive, especially when the shot arrived and it was HUGE! But G and I said "bottoms-up" and before I knew it, that clear, cool liquid was traveling down my throat. DELICIOUS! I usually enjoy patron as is, but add this salt and lime mix and it was divine! and the lime they provide you with is SoOoO fresh and tasty, you hardly taste the alcohol at all!
I loved it.

So if you are looking for a great selection of tequila and delicious drinks, then Azul 17 is your place. I would suggest making a reservation, because the seating on the restaurant side is probably more conducive to a group than the small bar area.

I do think I will be returning to Azul 17! Cheers!

Texting while driving, guilt, smoking and death- i know uplifting, right??

2010-01-29T09:36:00.000-05:00

It's Friday, I'm in Love- nooo, not really, just a good song...when you are actually in love with someone.

So this morning I was hit hard by a random thought that totally made me think about one simple thing for entirely too long...

As I was texting my friend Bobby this morning- who is a horrible driver as it is (sorry bob, after that third car you totaled- its kind of a fact)I realized that this was around the time when he would be driving into work.. Driving, Texting, OMG!

So have you ever thought... if the person you are texting gets into a car accident, Are you to blame?

will they go through the phone log and see your name in backlit letters?

If this ever happened I think I would never be able to escape the guilt...

So I sent one last text to Bob saying that I would just call him later.

And I wanted to give a shout out to JD Salinger (most known for the "controversial" book- Cather in the Rye. I re-read this book just last fall and I still don't understand why it was considered a book to burn. And I borrowed Catcher from my friend Molls and even though I think she owns a few copies of the book, I should send it back her way. Here are a few of my fav quotes from it...

"Sex is something I really don't understand too hot. You never know where the hell you are. I keep making up these sex rules for myself, and then I break them right away. Last year I made a rule that I was going to quit horsing around with girls that, deep down, gave me a pain in the ass. I broke it, though, the same week I made it - the same night, as a matter of fact." ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 9

"I was half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they're not much to look at, or even if they're sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. Girls. Jesus Christ. They can drive you crazy. They really can." ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 10

"It's funny. All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they'll do practically anything you want them to." ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 21

RIP JD.

-Please leave me a comment that I should QUIT smoking once and for all... I've been battling this beast for awhile now and I just can't seem to do stop! (no pressure though)- I just always want one when im sitting in traffic on my way to and from work- So any suggestions for what I can do while in traffic that are better than smoking, please let me know!
you can comment if you want me to keep smoking as well... i'd love that. haha

Top TEN EMO lyrics/ one-liners!

2010-01-26T16:04:00.003-05:00

So today I thought back to the time in my life when I had just gone through an awful break-up with a boyfriend, and to help me get over it my roommate and I spent an entire night looking up and writing out EMO lyrics that described how I felt.
We had them covering our room like wallpaper... and I had to get her to take them down at the last minute because my ex was actually driving me back to school after X-mas break... haha, the irony.

So i felt the need for a top ten list and please comment if I forgot any good ones, it was tough!! And a lot of these lines sound better in the actual song, so I encourage everyone to look up and listen to these songs! here we go...

1. I’ve got this weakening grip around her arms
Around her hips
Your silhouettes my favorite
I’m not letting go of it…

Northstar, Pollyanna, from the Album Pollyanna (2004)

2. Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one

Yellowcard, Only One, from the Album Ocean Avenue (2003)

3. These memories can't replace,
These wishes I wished and dreams I chased
Take this broken heart and make it right

Matchbook Romance, Promise, from the Album Stories and Alibis (2003)

4. I don’t want you, to love me anymore

The Get Up Kids, No Love and The Early November, Baby Blue

5. Your tears don't fall, they crash around me

Bullet for my Valentine, from the Album The Poison (2005)

6. Follow your bliss, it reads on my chest.
I know I got it tattooed for a reason.
Why can't I just hold it true?
'Cause I'm still crashing all the funerals
Of these people that I never knew.

Senses Fail, Can’t Be Saved, from the Album Still Searching

7. I'll do what I got to, the truth
is you could slit my throat
And with my one last gasping breath
I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt

Taking Back Sunday, You’re So Last Summer, from the Album Tell All Your Friends (2002)

8. I'm like a broken record
I've got a needle scratching me
It injects the poison of alcohol I.V.
I don't blame you for walking away
I'd do the same if I saw me

Alkaline Trio, This could Be Love, from the Album Good Mourning (2003)

9. So is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish
I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids
Have another drink and drive yourself home

Brand New, Seventy Times Seven, from the Album Favorite Weapon

10. Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars collide?

My Chemical Romance, Helena, from the Album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (2004)

He Can't Speak His Mind... Because He Plays Football?

2010-01-26T11:02:00.000-05:00

University of Florida Quarterback, Tim Tebow is set to be in an ad with a pro-life message to be aired during the 2010 Super Bowl. The message has his mother speaking about how she was told to have an abortion when she was pregnant with Tim.

"Some people won't agree with it, but I think they can at least respect that I stand up for what I believe and I'm never shy about that," said Tebow.

In my opinion we need more sports figures to stand up for what they believe, especially if it goes against the mold. And if I don’t agree with a commercial that comes on my T.V.- I change the channel!

“Tebow makes no bones about it, confirming that is the message, and he says he is speaking his mind in a Super Bowl ad shot at Orlando's Full Sail University in Orlando. However, pro-abortion rights groups would prefer the star quarterback stick to throwing footballs.”

So would the people in Haiti prefer if Hollywood just stuck to making movies?

NO

how many times, for numerous causes and charities, have sports players, actors, and other famous figures stepped in to convey what THEY believe in. It's part of what our country was founded on... anyone, no matter what educational background they have- can speak about what they wish.

This is a cause, like any other. Yes, it seems to polarize the entire world, but that should not mean that we should only hear about one side of the argument. Radio stations are filled with Planned Parenthood and the ‘morning-after-pill’ ads- so why should the pro-life campaign not be given a chance to reach viewers in the same way?

I agree that this is a very HOT topic and controversial issue, but if the pro-choice side wished to advertise during the Super Bowl, they are more than welcome to. The pro-life/pro-choice battle has been very lop-sided for many years… case in point, did anyone hear about the March for Life in D.C. this year? It hosted a record number of participants ranging from 250,000 to 400,000 estimated. The Baltimore Sun completely ignored this event that took place only 30 minutes south of its headquarters.

So why do the pro-choicers get to determine whether or not pro-life can abide by their first amendment right of free speech? Why can they not let the other side voice their opinion about saving lives? These are babies we are talking about here.

I understand this may stir up some disagreements, and I encourage them… but please don’t silence those who are only trying to encourage awareness for a historical debate. And I am more writing about the ability to speak one’s mind, not about the justifications of abortion.
