new things

New things in my world!
I'm getting health insurance... saweet, haha.  It sucks when you go off, and seriously need to go to the doctor for something.
I may get a promotion at my job.  Fingers crossed! My boss told me he thinks I am a super hard worker, loves me working there, and is looking to promote me to a CT.  Pretty cool!  This means I can't slack when tired. 
I'm not celebrating Thanksgiving with my family once again.  This will be my third or fourth year alone.  My family goes to Michigan, and I work.  I can't afford to take off work, and it sucks.  I miss my family, especially since my middle brothers wife is expecting too!  I want to see that belly, though I'm sure she isn't showing yet.  But, something new about this Thanksgiving is that I have a friend joining me.  She also celebrates alone since her family lives in like North Carolina or some shit, so I invited her over.  We are so excited to watch the Pack, drink wine, order chinese, and rock being lazy together!  Haha.   
And the coolest new thing in my world is.... drum roll please.... da da da da da da daaaa...
I'm going to PACKERLAND THIS SUNDAY!  I get to go to Lambeau Field!!!  I get to be close to this guy......
I don't know it I will be able to handle it.  I have never been to a tailgate or game!  And I LOVE THE PACKERS!  9-0, baby!  Go Pack Go!

Inspiration

Inspiration
What does this word mean to you?  

Once in a great while I feel we all lose this spark that motivates us.  This drive that keeps us going, urges us to do well and  to be supreme.  Sometimes I look around and wonder if people have lost it or stopped caring about it?  We all hit rock bottom at some point, need a pick me up, feel lonely, feel betrayed, unwanted, unloved, pushed aside for someone else,  unmotivated, etc.  Some people let these feelings sync into a depression, some people move on.  But in my book, life isn't over.  Look around you.  There are soooo many things to be inspired by, thankful about, happy about, lifted by.  Sometimes we don't think about it, and we do dumb things.  Sometimes we put ourselves in situations we can't do anything about, but in my imagination, the best thing to ever do is believe.  Believing is inspirational.  Who wants to be a baby their whole life and whine and cry about things that just need a little jump start?  
"I had no shoes and complained, until I met a man who had no feet." -Indian Proverb 
Life is NOT over.
Who do you look up to that is inspirational?  Why?  Do you feel you do a good job at being inspired?  
Do you feel motivated?  
I feel motivated by life.  My family and people I care about.  Good work inspires me.  A person who can stand tall no matter what.  A person that fights to live their life.  I don't mean fight as in fist fighting... I mean fights to live well... their driven to do their best.  I don't do my best in everything.  I am not good at everything.  All I can do is try and keep pushing myself, just like anyone else.  I start everyday new.  Everyday by putting one foot on the floor and telling myself today will be a great day.  I remember to smile and be friendly.  I remember to be thankful because being inspired will save you.  It will motivate you.  We are all inspired to believe in something... whatever that something is, is up to you.  I just hope no matter the hard times we go through... not being able to pay bills, school or job is stressful, significant other problems, that you believe.  I hope you are inspired to think positive and DO IT.
BE THANKFUL.  Hopeful. INSPIRED!  
Now go 'shut the front door', it's cold out!

I WOULD DIE TO SEE THIS!  WHY the EFF does BROOKLYN have to be SO FAR AWAY!  UGH!  I love Karen O so much.  She's inspirational and is like the best damn rocker on the planet in my view!

The Dead Weathers

A band that needs to be recognized to it's fullest: THE DEAD WEATHERS! 

Holy, musically talented!  To begin, Jack White is in the band.  He freakin rocks at everything he touches musically in my mind.  I love the style of music this band plays.  It's rusty, edgy, bluesy, and ROCK!  "Treat Me Like Your Mother" is a big hit they have going on right now.  I personally am a bigger fan of their album before, but they both kick ass, and I would love, LOVE to see them in concert!  I would love to be locked up in a room with this band and listen to them do impromptu jams because I bet they get pretty crazy.  No matter what mood I am in, The Dead Weathers can always fix it!
I mean come on... their associated acts along are sick:  Discount, Queens of the Stone Age, The Greenhornes, The Kills, The Raconteurs, The Upholsterers, The Waxwings, The White Stripes, Hello=Fire!!!  I am quite a fan of The Kills too (awesome band if you have not checked them out either).
They all switch up on instruments on top of it, which just points out even more how musically talented this group is.  They started up in the Nashville area, which is already a musically legendary place to be.  I can't get enough.  And on top of it, Alison Mosshart (lead vocalist) has some killer hot bangs.  I dig!  I love a woman that can pull of bangs ;-) 

 

I was bored earlier tonight and felt like stalking this band and found some cool paintings some guy did of each member in the band.  Check them out!  I want to pain like this!   

Now go "Shut The Front Door!" Night blog world.  I have a day off tmr, and that's awesome!!! :) :) :) :)

rawr

Ugh, I need more time to write!  It's driving me nuts.  I am coming up with so many creative ideas lately and just want time to write and not have anyone bother me!  I haven't had a day to myself since I moved, and I find that completely insane.  I can't even sleep in with my dad not asking me if I need to wake up... Yes, I moved back in with my parents... I am awesome. Haha.  Saving money is smart ;) I have been able to lose 5lbs though, and I am not sleeping in like I use to.  I am eating healthier, and people say I seem happy.  I don't know about that, but if people see that image, I'll go with it, haha.  I can't complain about too much.  I just would like a day to myself to write and be cozy in my room drinking hot tea or apple cider. 

I was watching the news tonight, and I know it's been an idea, but to actually close thousands of post offices is going to be a terrible thing.  I can understand a few in cities, but when it comes to small towns with small businesses or people who can't afford trips with gas to another town or having a computer to pay bills online... what are they suppose to do.  Small businesses will have to higher prices to help with extra shipping fees they can't afford or make cuts even.  The workers in the post office, I will feel awful for.  It's just more people unemployed.  I can't even get into this! It works me up!  The U.S. needs to stop worrying about other countries drama and take care of our own, but in better manners.  Lets make a positive change, not a negative.  Budget cuts are a good thing, but I feel we should watch where we do those better.  No more political talk from me tonight, haha. 

Night blog world.  Sorry I have been distant.

a couple things i want to bitch about

Things I hate:
*I hate players and tools.  Why do guys think they can be like that?  Yes, some chicks are effing dumb and go for that crap, or they like the "asshole" type of guy.  Then when they are crying over a guy cheating on them or how he was mean to her... you asked for it hun!  I won't lie, I use to dig the asshole type.  All hot and dominating... I got over that fast.  I search for a nice, manly man who is a gentlemen.  The last guy I sort of saw was a real nice guy.  He was humorous, witty, smart, sweet, manly.  I thought I found a good guy there, for once.  He ended up being a jerk too.  Who ends shit through text messaging... so middle school like, especially if he's 26 years old!  Grow some balls and talk about shit with the person your seeing.  If you have a problem, COMMUNICATE!  It's the number one thing in a relationship that needs to be there to make it work.  This leads to the next thing I hate.
*I hate when guys cannot call and talk on the phone cause they hate it.  I hate talking on the phone too, but when there is something that needs to be talked about or if you are having a bad day, FREAKING CALL!  It's called dating/courting/a relationship for a reason!
*I hate backstabbers.
*I hate when girls where Uggs with mini skirts.  That went out of style a long time ago in my book.
*I hate when people diss the Packers... Shut up!  They are world champions!  Everyone has preferences, but it doesn't mean you have to disrespect other peoples preferences.   
*I hate when you see a hot guy, and you know he won't even look at you just cause you aren't a perfect 10 look wise.  Shallow.
*I hate the price of gas!
*I hate missing people.  I moved home recently and being away from select friends sucks. 
*I hate when being a waitress a table compliments you and says you are an amazing waitress, yet they leave a shit ass tip.  Really?  It's not like I am asking for more of a tip than the regular, but when you leave less than expected it's sort of like a slap in the face.  Makes you wonder if they are just cheap, or were they lying to you? 
*I hate college loan payments.  I want to spend that money elsewhere or save it.  Ugh!  Ha!  I wish to win the lottery, haha. 
*I hate that my parents have yet to go to Italy, and it's been a life long dream of theirs, and now they are getting old.  I hope it happens still, but I doubt it.  I will go to Italy someday, I SWEAR! :)
*I hate that Manny Ramirez got arrested for domestic violence!  Come on Manny... get back on the field. I don't want to hear about that! 
*I hate when your smart phone is having problems... cool technology shouldn't get problems, haha.  I don't care about trial and error... I want my phone to work right!  I paid for it!  
 
Alrighty, I just had to get some bitching out of the way, haha. 
Otherwise, I am having a great day believe it or not :) Had a beautiful lunch in beautiful weather. Paid some bills.  Now I am off to work. 

Don't forget to 'Shut The Front Door'... especially now, it's a little chilly out ;-)

A New Life

Blog World!  I am so sorry I am not writing more!  I wish I was. 
I just moved home, and I have been so busy with the world!  I started my new job today in Madison, which so far I enjoy.  The people seem nice.  The whole place is fab!  I have a hot boss... ekks, and he's my age!  Damnit!  I hate that rule where you can't date your boss or whatever... sometimes rules are made to be broken, but lets see where I take that one.  Haha. 
I also got a new hairdo!  Zooey Daschanel inspired me along with Florence Welch.  Both ladies are so beautiful.  I've been getting tons of compliments, but I don't know how I personally feel with it yet.  It's weird to look in the mirror with a completely different hair style than you normally have.  Plus now I have to actually do my hair, haha.  If I was behind in time or felt lazy prior I could just throw it up in a bun.  Now I have to take care of these bangs!  But hey, I'm not gonna bitch... I wanted the hairstyle after all, and I know I am going to ROCK THEM! 
Since I have moved home, I have also taken the hand of my best friend, Sam, in helping her with her photography company.  She just graduated college and is excelling amazingly with her photography.  She does senior photos, engagement photos, maternal, weddings, etc.  I am now one of her personal assistants with weddings (I won't complain about the extra $$$)!  I just did my 3rd wedding with her this past weekend.  Before I realized what I wanted to do with my life, I thought about the idea of becoming a wedding planner (I'd shoot myself now), and I can say it's a lot of fun to see all the different ideas or ways people get married.  I also say screw getting married in a church!  I just want a big ass reception with a live band, dance floor, all friends and family, and a wicked amount of alcohol intake!  Sounds like a blast to me!  Anyway, check out Sam's web page: http://scolephotography.com/
Another plus of moving back home is regaining a lot of your old friendships.  It's crazy how many people I actually know that have graduated college and have moved back home... I don't know if it's a good thing or a sad thing, haha.  This past weekend the town I live in had a small ass festival here with a hickish beer tent that I stopped by at... ran into 2 of my guy friends from high school with Sam, and we were inseparable all weekend.  I look forward to those friendships growing again.
I have also gotten into the groove with working out again, and I feel superb about it.  I went on a great bike ride the other night and sweat my ass off.  Went to the gym the day before.  Did dance aerobic before that.  The access of working out in my book opened up a lot, and I have nothing holding me back.  I am excited to get into shape and lose weight successfully.  I have also full on quit smoking... I don't remember the last cig I had, and it's flipping fantastic!  I feel fresher when I wake up!
I cannot complain about life right now.  New do, new jobs, new friends, new town, new fitness, and I haven't even said the best part... tomorrow the PACKERS PLAY!!!!!!!!  I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!  First game of the season!  I will be wearing my Clay Matthews shirt, and I cannot wait to see him!  Yum, yum, yum!  I feel it should be a pretty close game.  They are playing The Saints, and it's in Green Bay.  I hope Donald Drivers wife doesn't give birth or go into labor at all tomorrow!  We need Driver, and she's due at any moment.  I also believe Donald has an opportunity to break a record tomorrow for receiving yards... I think I heard he only needs 42 more yards!  I am going to say the game will be Packers 28- Saints 24.  I hope the Packer's can take it in the postseason too!  GO PACK GO!

what's that song by billy joel???

Oh ya... Moving out! 
Last night was my going away party.  It was pretty dang epic!  I didn't drink as much as I thought I would, which is great, haha.  Flip cup, beer pong, loud music, dancing, good friends... was a blast!  Today it hit me that I won't see half of the people who came for months... sad!  My best friend came and surprised me, which was great!  She moved a lot of my stuff this morning on her way back home.  Tomorrow my parents are coming, and my friend is bringing the truck!  Once that truck gets here, I don't know what type of emotions I will have.  I've lived in Milwaukee for five years!  Ugh!  I am so excited though to start my new job, be with my family, BADGER GAMES, friends, and other awesomeness.  Bittersweet.

I apologize for not keeping up with my blog.  It has been a busy last week for me, and I have been sleeping over at someones house... you know... being naughty ;-)  Once I move though, I will be posting more frequently again.  <3

dang it all, Kings of Leon!

If you haven't heard yet and are a Kings of Leon fan, they have canceled the rest of their U.S. tour.  I was hoping to go to see them in Tinley Park near Chicago this month.  I am very very sad about this.  Kings of Leon is one of my favorite bands, and they're a band that always makes me happy.  They have such an amazing background with their family.  The Tennessee natives traveled in a beat up Oldsmobile across country with their parents most their childhood... Caleb, Nathan, and Jared are all brothers, and their father was a traveling priest. I don't know about you guys but traveling in a car with three boys and your parents in a small ass Oldsmobile would suck!  They were home schooled the majority of the time or went to churchy schools.  They were denied a "normal" childhood given this route, but in 1997 their parents divorced and then settled in Nashville.  All the boys actually go by their middle names, which I think is interesting.  Their fathers name is Leon along with their grandfather, which is why they named the band Kings of Leon.  I think that's pretty dang cool.  Caleb taught himself guitar.  Caleb and Nathan bought Jared a bass to teach him while he was still in high school, and Nathan dabbled drums.  They all took a huge interest in music realizing they wanted more, so they then pulled their cousin Matthew into the picture who played guitar.  They decided to lock themselves in their basement of their home, create music, and jam. They also apparently "kidnapped" their cousin Matthew.  They told their mom that Matthew would only be staying for a week visiting from Mississippi, but they never let him return.  They bought an ounce of pot, locked themselves in that basement and became a sensation.  When they came out they had a label and hit songs! 

The band has canceled their tour in the U.S. due to exhaustion and vocal issues with Caleb... I have also heard there are deeper issues with all of them getting along.  Either way, I hope it all revolves so that someday I can finally see them live!  It would be a dream come true for me, and hope the band gets on a healthy note!  Best of luck to them!

Here's one of my favorite songs off their newer album Come Around Sundown.

Finally moving!



So today I told my work when my last day will be.  I cannot believe it.  I'm MOVING!  I'm so excited and bummed out at the same time.  Excited for new things... my new job, my friends and family, school, saving money, the things I know in Madison.  I'm bummed to leave my friends I have made in Milwaukee over the past few years.  They have become like family to me.  I have come to love this city when I once didn't care for it.  So many fun things to do.  I will miss the beach and my work family... not so much my work though, haha.  I know this won't be too far from me though, and I can always come visit.  Plus I am leaving 2 of my "stinky pot" couches at my current house with my roommates, so I always have a place to sleep :) 

Off to watch some beach volleyball :)  Loving life.

Holy Beckham

Blog world!  My internet was down the last few days, so I wasn't able to partake in the blog world.  Glad to be back.  Happy Sunday! 
Sexy can I?!  Victoria Beckham is such a lucky lady!  David Beckham is sporting a new tattoo for new daughter, Harper... I can barely see it, but that is okay, I will search his body and look, hahaha.

Mike Myers signed to do a FOURTH Austin Powers movie this past week according to HitFix.com.  I hope this happens.  Austin Powers is always a load of fun. 

LA Times reports, "A Rembrandt work valued at more than $250,000 was stolen Saturday evening from a private art exhibit at the Ritz Carlton Marina del Rey when a curator was distracted by an apparent diversion, Los Angeles County Sheriff's officials said."  OMG!  This had to be a thought out process.  This building is highly secured, and it is a building I have always wanted to stay at.  It's a very beautiful, extravagant hotel from what I am told or scene.  Rembrandt was one hell of a painter, there is no doubt about that... known to be one of the best painters ever and printmakers, especially in European art history and Dutch history.  Whoever stole this painting, I hope they have it above their mantel in their livingroom, and they're sitting in some nice ass chair sipping on some expensive red wine and grinning over their thrill.  Cheers to you!

I have a new addiction

COD is already addicting as it is... add zombies, and I cannot stop.  Thank you to the guys who moved upstairs.  I wasted half my day and will further waste more of my days playing this game.

Wish You Were Here

Good morning world :)  A great tune to start your day off...
Also wanted to say thank you for those who have been checking out my blog... my hits are going up significantly lately :)  I dig it!
My advice for today since it's Monday is to go out of your way to make somebody smile.  Be you.  It will make a great start to your week.  I'm pretty good at this, haha.
Good news for me:  I should be getting my car back today from the auto repair shop.  They tried to rip me off big time, and I proved them wrong.  That's a check in the box for me being awesome.  Just because I am a woman, doesn't mean I don't know shit about cars.  I grew up with three boys.  I learned how to change my oil when I was 16 years old, and my tires for that fact.  Haha.
Another piece of advice... If you have nothing to hide, don't get defensive.  If you get defensive, you are obviously hiding something.  Defensiveness means you feel guilty or are insecure about something or other.  You should want to prove your honesty to whoever if you are in fact being honest.  If you get annoyed when someone asks you an honest question or asks you an honest favor... you obviously have a problem going on there.

XOXO, Don't forget to Shut the Front Door

Be yourself.

Found this article randomly online about women finding "Mr.Right" and thought it was interesting.  Check it out... 

For those who don't know who Rori Raye is, she's a trained relationship coach that has been proven to help thousands of women to find "Mr. Right" or turn bad relationships into good ones.  She has had the training to do this and has learned from her own experiences.  She's been married to the same dude for years, but before that she was thrown around, left heartbroken, and shattered emotionally.  It was so bad that it almost caused her and her husband of over 20 years to get a divorce, but since she loved him so much, she had to put her foot down and make a difference.  That's a passionate woman right there.  Not giving up on someone you care about because times or situations got tough... shows true strength, a drive, and a true love.  I find people give up way too easily nowadays, and people just get weaker and weaker with relationships.  They're meant to be special.  Many people go through tough relationships or personal issues, and I think it's great she is trying to help women believe they can find this "right" person or fix relationship problems.  
I love optimism!  Boom!  Haha.     

So in this article I linked above, she talks about three things women shouldn't do if they want to find "Mr. Right."  She may be wrong, but I'd have to agree with the majority of what she is saying. "Oh, he may "enjoy being with you", but he just never gets TOUCHED by you in a deep, connected, emotional sense."  If you are trying to get into a guys mind, you just need to be yourself and let him see that.  I agree with her on that.  Be one with yourself, and you can be yourself for someone else.  If you cannot be yourself, then this guy isn't right for you.  If a guy sees you are yourself, he see's a confidence in you, a warmth, realism... this does not scare them away.  It just shows them you aren't scared to be you and that's hot.  Hopefully he's the same way back for your sake and digs the way you truly are.        
For her "wrong way #2," I do feel women get carried away with sex emotionally and get way too attached afterwards (I see this happen a lot with friends).  Many women think men are the exact same, meaning they are going to get just as emotionally induced. Let's just think about that for a minute............. Come on women, most the time you will  just find yourselves washed away and feeling shitty because he probably just used you &/or didn't even give a shit.  You need to know the guys prerogative before you jump into this shit.  I am not saying all men are like this, but you should just watch your type.  If you keep going after the same type of dude and it never works out, maybe you should make a change yourself. An example of stupidity: if you go out to a bar, get hammered, meet a guy, have sex, and the next day he leaves and you didn't exchange numbers.  This was a one night stand, and if you thought before going into that, you might get a relationship out of this guy, you're an idiot.  Men, if you think women can just be "fuck buddies," you're an idiot.  I would guess that 97% of women, especially depending on age and lack of experience, will get attached.  They may say they don't care, but that's a lie.  It's not that men don't care the exact same way, they just may be looking for something different at the time.  Just know what you are getting yourself into before you do that sexual dance with someone.      
As for Raye's # 3, "the Spiritual Road," this can be a toughy.  When you are dating someone and have intentions to get serious, you obviously want to talk about a lot of things and make sure you are on the right page.  Having the same beliefs or having lots in common is a good thing, but it also leaves some spice if you don't.  In my opinion having everything in common, can just bring another friendship.  You can get bored after a while. You want someone who can boggle your mind and keep you on your feet, even drive you nuts.  You just gotta watch how far you take those conversations before you turn what you really want into just a "friendship" relationship... only leaves you hurting in the end if you don't.  I also hate when women agree with men just because they want their men to like them more.  I say it's okay to do this a little because it is showing you are trying, but at the same time, just be yourself!  Say you are dating someone who loves golf, and you really hate it, that will only suck for you in the long end if you tell him you actually love it... Just be honest.  You don't have to enjoy all of the same things.  Add variety.         

In my past experience with relationships, some good, some awful, I would say the ones that worked better, I was more myself.  I wouldn't say I was a 100% myself, but I can also say I wasn't looking for "Mr. Right" at the time.  With being your complete utter self, it's a risk you should be willing to take if you think he is "it" or may have the potential.  If you try and be a 100% yourself with a guy, and he doesn't dig it, then obviously he is not that guy for you.  Maybe he didn't show his true self, which just shows that he isn't ready for "Mrs. Right."  If a guy has trouble expressing things to you or is beyond bitter, then he isn't ready.  I wouldn't take this part personal if this happens.  It's different for everyone.  Let the guy get emotional and deep with you, but make sure you keep it on the right side... you don't want it to turn friendly.   

I like when Raye points this out, "The trick is to learn exactly HOW to express your feelings - in words that will draw a man closer in an amazing way. The usual way we express our feelings comes out sounding either stifled, inauthentic or critical to a man, and does nothing to connect with his heart."  The two key words in this to me are LEARN and HOW!  You have to be taught or observe something in order to do it correctly.  In the beginning of a new bond, this may take time.  This should be on both sides of the party... if you do not like the way someone is talking to you or if they sound "critical" or annoyed, TALK about this.  Instead of closing the door, discuss how you would rather be told stuff or preferences.  Don't bark at someone if they did something wrong once and say forget it... that isn't fair...work it out.  Express how it made you feel and explain how you would rather have it.  It's called communication, patients, and LEARNING.  You are teaching each other about each other!  Once you learn, it goes a lot easier and then you know not to do certain things and how to express correctly.  We obviously cannot read each others minds, so discussing things is key.  No one is perfect nor knows every exact thing that has happened in your past.  Doing these things will get you guys heading on a positive road, and there should be a lot more emotional attachment on both ends.  If you had a past relationship where your girlfriend did certain things to annoy you, and your current girlfriend does the same thing, tell her and talk about it.  Let her get the benefit of the doubt.  Don't just push her away.  Or ladies, if you think your guy doesn't take enough time to spend with you and that annoys you... don't get critical... talk about it.  Learn how to express your feelings!  It takes time to build a relationship and in that time, we learn how to communicate to each other in the way we need it, and the best way to do that is to always be open,, discuss, and be yourself.  Amen Rori Raye.  Lets bring out the optimism in people.          

Fun Stuff!

If you cannot tell yet, I am quite a comic book fan.  I love when comics are made into movies.  I love when they remake old comic movies into better ones... doesn't always happen, but every once in a while it surprises you. 

Another costume teaser was released the other day, but this time it's for Clark Kent, SUPERMAN, in "Man of Steel."  Henry Cavil is playing Superman.  He is from the hit show, "The Tudors" off Showtime.  He's hot.  I like that he isn't a huge star yet.   

Amy Adams is playing Lois Lane, which I think is pretty spectacular.  I love Amy Adams!  She's never disappointed me.  Diane Lane and Kevin Costner are Superman's adoptive parents in the movie.  It's been a while since I have seen Kevin Costner, so that's exciting news.  Russell Crowe plays Superman's real father, Jor-El.  Russell Crowe is one of my favorite actors, so when I read that I got excited!  On top of all the great cast, Zack Synder is directing the movie and wants to add a lot of history to the movie.  Maybe it will be similar to "Batmen Begins," where that movie builds the story of Batman.  The script of "Man of Steel" is written by David S. Goyer, and the story was done by the wonderful Christopher Nolan!  The release date of this movie is June 14, 2013!!!  That's sooo far away!   

I also wanted to send a happy birthday to Lucille Ball!  She would be 100 years old if she were still alive today!  "I Love Lucy" is my favorite television show of allllll time.  I use to watch it as a child with my dad.  He would let me stay up past my bedtime to watch it sometimes... daddy daughter bonding time, haha.  I always thought Lucy was like my mom.  My mother is a nut, but a great one.   

Sneak peaks of "Dark Knight Rises"

If you haven't seen or heard it yet, the new CATWOMAN costume was released! 
Now it is no Halle Berry costume, thank God (not realistic for kicking ass), and it doesn't even come close to the original Michelle Pfeiffer costume.  I admit, Pfeiffer's is way hotter, but Anne Hathaway's costume looks action ready!  She looks like she is ready to kick some ass and dominate.  There is no black hair, no head cover, no cat ears, no tail (yet anyways or that we see), and the material is not as sleazy.  The goggles I will accept because the comic now and in "Batman: Artham Asylum" Catwoman uses goggles here and there.    
 
I do feel Anne Hathaway wears this costume well!  AND, this bike looks awfully familiar... pretty similar to a guy named Batman!  Maybe she stole it... maybe she finds a replica... I cannot wait to see what lies behind this.

While I am spreading Catwoman's costume, I thought I would share a couple other shots as well.  If you have not seen the unbelievable teaser of a trailer for "Dark Knight Rises" I'd recommend it.  It's the biggest teaser I have ever seen for a movie and half the parts are from "Batman Begins," but it does show you a glimpse of the villain, BANE, and he's scary as hell looking!

Bane is played by Tom Hardy, one of the sexiest men alive in my opinion, and when I saw this Bane costume on him, I thought the exact opposite, haha.  I got scared!  If this even came near me even Tom Hardy, I would be running.     

He may be standing on his ride, which looks extremely similar to Batman's rig again, but he looks HUGE!!!
July 20, 2012 cannot come soon enough! 

They're Back!

Holy Wah!!!  Shut The Front Door!  The day has arrived!  I cannot wait to watch this and watch these two characters make fun of Teen Mom or Jersey Shore or even a damn Chris Brown video!  Yes!
So dumb, it's great!  Haha. 
     
Now, I wish Daria would make a come back with it!!! One of my fav shows back in the day! La,la,la,la, laaaa.

cosmic love

Song of the day.  This is by far one of my favorite songs.  I love love love Florence + the Machine.  Seeing them live was breathtaking.  Florence does an amazing job and can really sing.  Plus they have a damn harp player in their band!  So awesome! 
Anyway, these lyrics touch me on a whole other level.  So deep.  So beautiful.  So good, you better read them: 

A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out

You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat

I tried to find the sound
But then, it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out

You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map

And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out

You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out

You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart 


There can be many interpretations of the lyrics for people, but for me this is a song about a woman who falls in love with someone who only lets her have a selection of his heart. She's left in the darkness, the shadows of his heart. She doesn't have all of him.  It sounds as if he doesn't have it to give or he doesn't know how to give it. Then she goes another route to find herself again and to move on.  In the end she realizes he's in the "darkness" as well so she decides to stay with him even if she only gets a selection or piece of him... that's all she needs, as long as she is with him.  Romantic and beautiful, haha.

what would you do for the person you care about?

Today is a day that music will save me.  Make me weak, tears come down, rob my emotions, and the only thing that saves me is writing and music.  I'm not giving up on what I believe.  I will never give up on the things I am passionate about or things I care about, but sometimes people get put in situations.  Situations where they are defenseless or didn't mean it or said apology after apology and meant it.  Situations where you have to push pause on that fact that you care so much because you don't know what will happen or the other person needs time or something along those lines.  Some people are harder to read more than others, and the ones you can't figure out... those are the special ones.  Those are the ones you shouldn't let go.  These are the people that will teach you something about life or show you a new feeling, a new experience... hopefully it's a good one.  Let them drive you nuts in a good way.  They will always keep you on your feet and boggle your mind.

I had a boyfriend that cheated on me once... dick move, I know.  The worst part about it was that he had a child, and I got attached to that child.  Dumb move on my part.  He literally tore me apart with lie after lie to a point I could no longer trust anyone.  The best part about it was that I found out on FACEBOOK!  A friend wrote it on a friends wall purposely so I could apparently see it.  But overall, this made it hard for me to trust anyone, even my family and friends.  When you tell someone you like them or love them, that's a type of responsibility.  If you say it back, it goes on both ends.  It's both peoples job (more like an honor, I feel) to make sure they don't ruin that, build it, cherish it, love it, show one another the thought and care for each other.  You build a bond... a special trust, a special relationship!  One that makes you melt on the inside, gets ya giggling, or excited every time you see that person, haha.  Now when one of those people isn't up for that responsibility, why play with the other ones emotions?  Something I never understood with a cheater.

Anyway, it took me a solid two years to be able to like someone completely again.  I still dated, but I never wanted anything serious for the fact.  I needed time to let that heal.  I needed to find that person that I can completely trust, 100%.  I moved on from my ex no problem, but that feeling is beyond hell.  So I feel when you find someone again, they should know about this... know the jam you went through because it's part of you.  You can find someone new and trust them, but you had these people in your past that just ruined so much... shattered your self-esteem, shattered your confidence.  It makes people bitter about future possibilities... it did with me for TWO YEARS!  Haha.  One thing to note though is to never compare your new people with your exes.  Everyone is different.  So you may have healed a lot and triggered your confidence back up with time, which I did.  I know I will never deal with that shit again, and I got my groove back.  Puts a smile on my face to finally say that, like wow, I have my confidence back!  I  felt it was 6 ft underground for a while, haha.  You just gotta remember to take care of yourself and be the person you should be.  Don't walk around with that damn chip on your shoulder... only scares future possibilities.   

So, after telling your new person this stuff you have experienced in your past, and maybe they experienced something similar in their life, I feel as if they should be a little more understanding.  I mean if you are just crazy and do random shit all the time that shows you cannot be trusted or shows you have major trust issues or little secrets, then clearly you are not ready to be in a relationship.  Your person should want to show you why you should trust them and vice versa.  If you really dig someone, you would do anything for them, right?  Trust and communication are two key things in a relationship afterall.

I can proudly say, for the first time in 2 years, a fucking mile stone walk, that I am ready to be in a relationship again.  In fact, I've never been this ready.  Scares the shit out of me.  All the possibilities of getting hurt, and I am willing to take it... willing to do whatever it takes to make it work... because he is totally worth it and I dig him more than anything.   I am willing to take this risk (yes, there is a certain guy in my mind, and i think he is spectacular, haha). 

But, here's the main thing, I may have gotten that confidence back, but there is this little tiny piece in me that still gets scared that some other chick will come along or he will get bored with me.  I know I'm not perfect.  I know I cannot promise anything nor promise I won't be a dumb chick at times.  But I know I do have a damn big heart and am one amazing person, and want to show this, share it, and care for you.  I know I can make it work with this person.  When stupid shit happens, I just need like a slap in the face, or a hey, what are you doing... like a reminder that I'm just being silly.  I feel at this level with another person they should be understanding, not get mad.  Relationships take time and work. Eventually that whole nonsense will even disappear.  "The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials." -Chinese Proverb

So now I dig this person.  I trust him 100%.  The most I have ever trusted anyone.  I can tell him anything.  I'm not scared to be myself.  This is a good sign.  I'm so unbelievably happy with him.  He's so nice and laid back... just what I need.  He's not a douchebag.  We could go slow and take ages to get to wherever, not rush, and for once I'd be okay with that...  But, I may have ruined this because I got that scared girl in me.  I wasn't trying to find anything.  I believe everything he says.  I just had one of those moments where it was like what if another girl comes along that's cuter.  It's dumb.  I just wish I had an actual night, just him and me, where we can learn these things and new things.  Develop.  I don't want to lose him over something so silly on my part.  I made a mistake.  I hope he is aware.  I hope he is aware I am not trying to catch him doing something.  I just want it to all work out.  I miss him.  I will give him space... I just hope it's not forever. 
It's just my luck I find someone I want to be with after two years of recovering, and I fuck it up.  Ugh.     

can't sleep, bad thoughts will eat me...

so it's 5am, and i am up because i cannot sleep for the life of me right now... rare occasion for me.  now that i think about it, my mom is just now getting up to get ready for work... sick.  i'm listening to an irish station on pandora and laying in my bed... mind racing but wishing a certain someone was next to me.  sigh.  :-/ i miss him and want to hold and kiss him... hoping for a better day tmr... fingers crossed!

ppl, ppl, ppl...

what the hell is wrong with people? hahaha

read this link above.  after reading this to my roommate, i learned that his high school in bayshore, which is a very nice suburb of Milwaukee had a similar event!  theirs was called "stay fly," where the students would take this as a way to dress "ghetto" and be "wiggers."
what is wrong with our educators to think throwing an event or day like this is okay?  this is what makes american's dumber than they already are and only causes more problems.  generations just keep getting worse... i do feel the girl in the article went a little beyond, but hey, she can... she has a right.  

on another note, this has been one hell of a productive day for me.  my car broke down like a month ago, and i am finally getting it fixed.  took it in today and have the money to pay for it!  life can certainly be a bitch in the money department.  i also found a replacement for my apartment, so i can successfully say i am moving out of milwaukee at the end of this month!  i thought i would be here until the end of september, but nope!  i will miss all my activities in milwaukee and my friends, but it's time to go.  i also may have found a job already in madison, maybe even two jobs!  good things are coming!  i also made up with my parents (due to me not being communicative enough), and more and more i realize i have the best damn parents ever.  they are so helpful and understanding.            

Song of the day!

My song of the day choice.  Love these lyrics. 

I hold on to what I believe.  I know I can be wrong at times, but I will hold on.  I believe in you.  I believe in me. I believe in you and me.  I'm going to hold on... no matter how hard. 

ZOMBIE!!!!!!

I love this movie.  Zombieland does greatness.  Bill Murray's cameo is great!  Makes me want to watch What About Bob or Kingpin, especially since Woody Harrison is in that with him AGAIN! 

I just heart movies sooo much!

top ten???!?!?!

I was reading Rolling Stone magazine, the August issue, and I ran across a lot of greatness to write about.  Larry David is on the cover to begin, who is AMAZING!  Curb Your Enthusiasm is one hell of a tv show on HBO.  If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.  You will be laughing your ass off the whole time.

One article I run across I couldn't help but giggle to myself.  Title, "For the First Time Since 2004, Record Biz Is Up."  This is pretty exciting for a lot of artists, and I feel no matter how hard times get people will always continue to buy music because this is what keeps us going.  The thing that made me laugh was when I saw the "Top 10 Albums."  I thought to myself, where the hell did everyone's music taste go?!  AWFUL!  Parents need to teach their kids a lesson or two about music because these teeny-boppers, baby-boomers choice of music BLOWS!

Top 10 Albums
1. Adele,21
    Albums sold: 2,517,000
2. Lady Gaga, Born This Way
    Albums sold: 1,540,000
3. Mumford & Sons, Sigh No More

Herrera, Monica. Rolling Stone Magazine. Issue 1136. August 4, 2011.  Page 22. 

I will give three of those artists credit.  The rest I hear one song by them and I'm sick of it either that second or after the third time I've heard it.  Mumford & Sons is an amazing band, I will give this Top 10 list an applause just for that.  This exact same issue of Rolling Stone has a great article on Mumford & Sons as well.  Another reason to buy it.  Mumford is taking over the US, and I dig that they are from Britain and play bluegrass music!  Plus, I love that Marcus Mumford dates Carey Mulligan... they were pen pals when they were children in church... isn't that the cutest! Haha.
  
I'm shocked I don't see other bands on this list, such as, Taylor Swift or Beyonce... two more that I'm not into, haha.  I'd like to see REAL musicians on here such as Bon Iver, or Foster the People, or even Radiohead.  I will give that Adele can sing and is a beautiful person, but if I hear Rolling in the Deep one more time, I may flip.  I will also give Jason Aldean credit.  I'm not huge into country, but I don't mind his music.  He usually has a whole cd that is bearable, and most are pretty fun...none of those country songs that make you depressed listening to it.  I also live in WI, so I need to suck it up when it comes to country and represent every once in a while.

Pep Talk 101

Another session of 'Pep Talk,' which is a section of my blog dedicated to sex!  Who doesn't like the idea of that?!  I was trying to think of what I could write today for like 15 minutes... there are so many things you could talk about with sex, but I came up with shower sex :-)
Shower sex, sexy!  I will note a few things before I get into the types of positions and stuff to help save yourself.  One thing I recommend gentlemen is to make sure the chick your about to bang in the shower is somewhat cosmetic free, or you're about to bust your ass laughing at what you thought was hot just becoming a clown with the make-up smearing all over her face.  That is not hot and could totally ruin the mood.  Second, make sure the water is NOT scorching hot.  If it's too hot that can actually cause breathing problems, so hopefully your ass doesn't have asthma or you may be shit out of luck.  Men, we all know what cold water does to you, so let's stay away from that too.  Third, make sure your bathroom is clean!  I will not step into a shower that looks like there is mold all over the ceiling or shower curtain, or your roommates hair building up on the wall that they forgot to clean up.  I will not wash you with a nasty bar of soap or smelly sponge.  That shit is sick!  I want to feel clean in the shower even if we are getting dirty!
Set the mood!  IF you want to get all romantic, light some candles, dim the lights down if that's possible, put on some Marvin Gaye or whatever you listen to.  Get your lady excited about having shower sex... not all women enjoy it.   Miley Cyrus looks ready for this!  HAHA
Anyway, who isn't ready for hot steamy water showering over you as you deeply kiss your partner and sensually caress each other?  This is all natural and refreshing.
Before actually stepping in the shower, it's always smarter with a chick to start on a dry area... a bed, couch, or the counter.  I would recommend the counter more because you guys can check each other out in the mirror and lock eyes... sounds more fun.  Check out what you are about to get into!  I'm not saying you have to start penetration yet, but the more you lube up your woman, the smarter for shower sex.  Caress her, use your hands, and mouth.  Rev her up, and hopefully she does the same thing back.
Next, get your booties into the shower, but remember, you are getting into a slippery area.  Don't act like wild jungle animals or your gonna see your ass fall and have a broken hip or some shit.  That doesn't sound fun.  I actually know someone who had that happen to them.
When you first get into the shower, don't rush for sex.  Take your time, build up your water bill, FOREPLAY!  I cannot push this enough.  Massage each other, wash each other.  Get the flow going even more.  It makes it more erotic.  Use scented soaps and oils, enhance the aroma.  Foreplay helps lubricate your lady up, which is highly needed in the shower because water washes away natural lubrication.  If a chick isn't lubricated and has water in her vag, it can get painful for some or make her feel like she's a virgin again.  So be intimate and seduce each other.  If you feel more comfortable, buy extra lubrication (non water based kind) and use that to help.
If you have a shower head that is detachable, use it!  This will make your lady go wild.  The vibrations massaging her clit and jolts of water spitting at it will turn her on twice as much, I guarantee it.  It is very common that women use those to masturbate with already.  I wish I had one, haha.
When you start having sex, watch the positions you do.  No one wants water spurting into their eyes.
Positions to try:
My personal favorite would be the bodyguard!  Have the chick spread her legs and put her hands on the wall... like the picture at the top of this article.  Bend your knees slightly and go in from behind.  It's like spooning but also has similarities with doggy style.  You can still continue to caress each other, massage her breasts, or even her clit.  This position or even many standing positions may be difficult depending on the height of each person.  If you aren't in the shower you can always you a stool or something similar.
Another position you can try is the dancer, which is a little more intimate than the bodyguard.  It's pretty much missionary standing up, but the chick wraps one leg around the guy, like she is dancing on a poll almost.  It's more face to face and better for kissing.  
If you are a more flexible woman, you can do the sex position called the ballerina.  It's the exact same thing as the dancer, except you put your leg all the way up over the guys shoulder.  You may need to hang on to something, haha.
If you feel you won't fall/slip gentlemen, you can always pick your lady up and have her wrap her legs around you as you support her.  Some girls may feel nervous about this position or self conscious about you picking her up, so maker her feel sexy and give her a reason to not feel that way.  Just do not drop her, or you are done with that, haha.  Grab that booty while you are in this position!
After you try these positions and are still going strong but feel tired, you can always get on your knees and do doggie style or whatever other position your hearts desire.
Remember to fantasize in the shower. Press each other up on the wall.  Wash each others hair.  Talk dirty and tell your partner their a dirty little whatever, haha.  The shower is a great place to get dirty while you're getting cleaned.  You will come out feeling even more refreshed than you usually do showering.  Live it up in there and have fun with each other.  Just remember to Shut The Front Door and maybe wear some protection!

'Entourage'

Here it comes HBO fans, July 24th, 2011 will be the premiere of the last season of 'Entourage.'  What a SAD moment.  There will only be 8 episodes in this season, and it will be bittersweet!  Who wants to see Adrian Grenier disappear off HBO?!  Not me!  Or even Jeremy Piven, who plays one of my favorite characters Ari Gold, who is a crazy, neurotic Hollywood agent! 
This photo was taken at the premiere, which I found off Mark Wahlberg's Tweeter page.  I think these guys are excited, yet bummed out.  Working on a set that long, you become a family with one another.  I have had the chance to work on a couple sets writing, and when the director yells, "Cut, that's a wrap!,"  It's one happy moment for the accomplishment and time spent, but a bummer moment for having to end it.  It's a load of fun.  I cannot even imagine how much fun these guys were having while filming and even off set.
The premiere was a big hit at Beacon Theathre in New York July 19th.  Even after losing against Japan last Sunday, Hope Solo and Alex Morgan of the U.S. Women's soccer team even made the premiere, looking refreshed, and having the same feeling of bittersweet in their hearts.  I wish I could have been there! 
My favorite part about the whole show is that this was primarily a show based off of Mark Wahlberg and his friends.  They obviously went in a more fictional way with it as Wahlberg would be exposing a lot of his past, life, and violent history he has had, but they still kept the idea of a Hollywood actor and his close friends developing their lives in the spot light.  Vincent Chase is the character to be most like Wahlberg and "E" or Eric Murphy, played by Kevin Connelly, is most based on Mark Wahlberg's friend and executive producer to the show, Eric Weinstein.  In real life, I find Wahlberg and Weinstein connected at the hips they are such good friends.  Even in 2007, when Wahlberg made a cameo in the pilot of 'Entourage', Eric Weinstein was walking right next to him :) He's the big dude in the brown velvet track suit, haha. 
Johnny "Drama" Chase, who plays Vince's half-brother, chef, trainer, and bodyguard, is a wannabe actor who has a harder time than Vince making it into the spotlight.  He is my least favorite on the show, no offense to Kevin Dillon, but he's such a whinny baby, tries way too hard, and is usually pretty selfish!  Now in real life, this character is based off of Mark Wahlberg's real cousin, Johnny "Drama" Alves. Donnie Wahlberg, Mark's older brother, hired Alves to keep Mark Wahlberg out of trouble as he flourishes as a young star in Hollywood.  So all and all, Johnny Chase, does the exact same thing for Vince.  P.s. Donnie Wahlberg is in New Kids on the Block!  This makes me giggle! hehe.    
Oh ya, those Wahlberg's got "The Right Stuff" even when Mark Wahlberg was Marky Mark! Hahaha!
Anyway, Salvatore "Turtle" Assante, played by Jerry Ferrara, was based on Mark Wahlberg's bitch, to say the least, Donnie Carroll aka "Donkey."  He was Wahlberg's gofer, which is a person who runs your errands for you, like picks up your dry cleaning or gets you coffee... the exact same thing "Turtle" does.  The sad part about this, is that Donnie Carrol passed away in 2005 due to an asthma attack.  I'm glad they kept "Turtles" role in the show... I don't think it would have been the same without him even if "Turtle" can be a little sketchy. Ari Gold is based off Mark Wahlberg's real-life agent, Ari Emanuel.  Emanuel is a well known fan of the Democratic Party, is founder of the Endeavor Talent Agency in Beverly Hills, California, and has also represented Martin Scorsese, Matt Damon, and Larry David.  This guy is a pretty big deal, and I think it's pretty rad that he can say he has a character based off himself played by the sexy Jeremy Piven!
I will miss all the other actor cameo's, and all the drunken messes these guys get in.  The hot men and women, the cars, the rock n roll, the drugs, and everything else will surely be missed. "Superhero" by Jane's Addiction coming on over my television... shit, I guess I will just have to Netflix and start all over.

holy fire!

Last night at 2am, I witnessed my first car fire.  My roommate was tipsy on our patio and called me out yelling, "Holy shit, FIRE!"  It was right down my street in a parking lot.  Someone lit someones car on fire... poor person.  Someone's money down the drawn.  Who the hell does that to someone?!  I then found out that four more cars were lit on fire earlier in the week up the street in a parking ramp.  WTF?!  I feel awful for those people.  That's so sketchy!  I did capture this on video with my phone, so here's to entertainment.

Friday, July 15, 2011

wtf, omg, lmfao, fml

What are your thoughts of talking on the phone? 
I feel nowadays everyone from my generation or younger hates talking on the phone.  I have friends I will call to clarify plans with who won't answer when I call, but they will text me back saying, "Hey, what's going on for the night?"  Then the text conversation lasts about 20 minutes when you could have just answered and talked it out in less than five minutes.  This stuff drives me nuts!  I will admit, I hate talking on the phone.  I get bored or sometimes can't always multi-task.  Sometimes I prefer face to face more or feel being in person is more intimate or personable.  Sometimes people talk too much or repeat the same story over and over but differently.  Sometimes a friend will call and bitch about life and go on and on about a guy or job, and you could careless.  I hate those moments on the phone.  Who doesn't?! 
On the other hand, if I haven't heard from a person in a while and they call, I can talk for hours with them, especially my best friends or people who have moved away.  I can talk for hours with my family members on the phone, less it's about something heated... then I just want to shoot myself.  If I have a long distance relationship, I can talk with that person for hours.  Though I feel most guys I know hate talking on the phone.  I don't always like that.  Girls need to know their men aren't running around being crazy or whatever and need to know that person is there for them.  Girls like to feel secure or appreciated... talking on the phone with their dude can show that.  It's not like you need to talk for hours but a simple hello can show a lot.       
Now when it comes to texting... I use to hate it.  I hate when people text you 'hey' and that's it.  Then you say 'hey' back, and they say 'what's up'.... I CANNOT STAND THAT!  Put it all in one text!  Then all this slang came out like brb, lmfao, lol, fml... my parents would have no clue what any of those stand for!  My mom barely knows how to even turn on a cell phone as it is.  She for sure can't open a text message.  That is beyond her imagination!  But I have grown to love texting.  It's so convenient at times!    
So today, I was at the mall buying myself a Clay Matthews shirt :) and my parents called me.  I answered... big mistake!  I am still on my parents cell phone plan.  We have a family plan that usually works real well.  I never go over my minutes since I hate talking on the phone, but my parents refuse to give me unlimited texting since they do not understand it.  They don't see why I cannot just pick up the phone and call someone.  They don't understand that sometimes texting is more convenient depending where you are or what you're doing.  They think it is lazy and an easy way to get out of talking to someone, and they also feel it is making my generation dumb in communication skills.  That people are more scared to talk on the phone now.  So on my phone they have given me 750 texts.  750 is a huge number but not when all your friends do is text.  I went over... by A LOT!  They yelled at me and told me to stop being so lazy on the phone, and I explained it would be cheaper if they just got unlimited texting but still no comprehension.  I explained I would never go over if I had unlimited, but apparently paying the price for unlimited is a waste of money and not necessary.  Doesn't the bill show that is it?  That was my question of thought.  In the end, they decided to turn my text messaging off, and now I feel completely miserable, as if I lost my phone at a bar type of feeling and will never get it back.  LOST!  My roommate text me and came home and said, "why didn't you answer my text?"  Hmmm... maybe cause I cannot even receive them!  UGH!  It's pretty pathetic actually, haha.  I mean I feel lost without texting right now.  It's stressing me out.  That is sad, haha.  I wonder if I got any texts today, and if any of my friends thought I was ignoring them since I couldn't get it nor reply.  UGH!!!  I was so mad at my parents.  Sorry I went over.  I offered to pay it even, but no... they take my texting off.  What am I suppose to do when I am bored out of my mind at work tomorrow?!  I have Saturday night off from work, and now I actually have to call people to make plans?  OMG, people will have to answer their phone to talk to me!  HAHA.  It's the end of the world (sarcasm). 

Next week on my day off, I am going into a cell phone place and getting my own plan, and holy shut the front door, I cannot wait!  Unlimited texting, here I come!

not only do the vikings sucks, but no beer?!?!?!?!

"The MillerCoors brewing company will soon be forced to pull 39 brands of beers from every restaurant, bar and liquor store in the state of Minnesota.  It's all because the company wasn't able to renew their brand label registration far enough in advance before the state's government shut down." @ CNNMoney 

Holy shut the front door!  I would be a VERY sad lady if this happened in Wisconsin.  This is one more reason why Minnesota sucks!  I love beer!  I would be stocking my fridge like it was the end of the world!  Going to any tailgate, party, bar, party, wedding just officially sucked in MN.  If I went without PBR, Miller HighLife, or Coors Lite, I would be irate!  Yes, I love beer this much!  I would probably hurt someone for one!  This will hurt a lot of local businesses, but I know MillerCoors won't be hurting... they got enough drinkers in this state and all the other cool states!  Hopefully that shit gets resolved... until then I don't plan on going to MN.

So if you are into hollywood media news, you should know that "crazy Jackie," Mila Kunis is going to a ball with a marines.  I give Mila kudos for this one.  She's making some guys dream come true, and at the same time supporting the troops.  Thank God she doesn't look like or act like Meg in real life from 'Family Guy.'  Mila was born in the Ukranian SSR and has dated Macaulay Culkin in the past for 8 years!  She's also against the idea of marriage for the time being and has also gone on a date with Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers.  I bet she has a crazy side inside, haha.  You don't go from Culkin to Rodgers... HUGE difference, but I dig it.  She did an amazing job in the 'Black Swan.'  If you have not seen that movie yet, I encourage you.  It reminds me of 'Fight Club' in a weird way.     


"Mila Kunis will be serving her country in November - by attending the Marine Corps. Ball in Greenville, N.C. Sgt. Scott Moore, of the 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines in Musa Qala, Afghanistan, posted a video on YouTube last month asking the actress to be his date to the event on Nov. 18." - CBSNews
Mila's publicist declared that it is true that she is going to attend.  Her co-star of 'Friends with Benefits,' Justin Timberlake encouraged the idea as well.  Pretty rad.  She will be the hottest chick there, hands down.

Other news in the media world, Michael Todd of Coheed & Cambria  was arrested for robbing a Walgreen's pharmacy in MA on July 10th. He said he had a bomb and stole six bottles of oxycontin. He did this all before a show, opening up for Soundgarden. HAHAHA.  This is so pathetic to me.  He got kicked off the tour, but Coheed & Cambria didn't cancel any of their shows, and the band found immediate replacement.  Please go to rehab Michael Todd before you embarrass yourself again.  I have seen Coheed & Cambria in concert a few years ago with Alkoline Trio and Avenge Sevenfold.  They put on an amazing show with an amazing light show.  Now, I wonder if Michael Todd was messed up during the show, haha.  My God!

It's about time they take a break!  I saw them in concert a long time ago because they opened for someone I wanted to see.  I was highly disappointed.  The dancing was awesome.  Fergie wore regular jeans, heels, and a zip-up jacket.  I was expecting something fierce from her.  Their stage designed sucked too.  The singing was fine, but I think it's time for a break.  I cannot listen to another song by them right now.  Sorry BEP's.
