We all should be ashamed

I loathe people and what they are capable of. Life isn’t fair so thank god for the death penalty. If we are judged by the weakest examples of our species then we deserve every unspreakable thing that ever happens. Especially you…you cowardly, fucked up, pathetic excuse for a pulse, who you better hope I never run into you because I will personally dismember you one cell of skin at a time, man who lives in miami.

One definition of success

You know you’ve arrived when your jon interviews no longer consist of a conference room with a large table…but rather on a penthouse corner glasses in room with sofas and pictures of the person you are there to meet on the wall.

I might get gangren

Why do I always feel like I’m going to contract the worst possible disease while waiting in a doctors office, hospital room, or bloodwork center
??? What the hell is that about? Today I’m worried about gangreen while listening to the easy listening station and watching people try and figure out this center has a computerized sign in sheet LOL.

-cheers to not being sick.

What would you do

The hardest thing

Is trying to stay true to yourself and having it get in the way of something that could be amazing.

-Cheers to whatever

The honk factor

Today driving home from work I actually recognized someone I knew walking down the street and I honked at them from my car and waved. As I continued on my way home it dawned on me that this was the first time since I moved I have had that experience. Sometimes the little things make all the difference.

-cheers to it feeling a little more like home

What have you done for me lately

Omg my first iPhone post. Someone fix the keypad and give me smilies so I can justify keeping this phone!! I suck at typing on it LOL

Glow fuck yourselves in the name of science

Things I hate:

1. People fucking with animals in anyway–I personally want to hunt each of them down and disembowel them over a period of several days without any anesthetics

2.  People fucking with nature

3.  People who fuck with both animals and nature

4.  Everyone who ever thought that cloning animals was a good idea for the progression of science

5.  Every South Korean associated with this article

6.  The way this article makes me feel instantly livid and filled with hate—hence I’m writing on a Saturday

~Cheers to #7 on my list not being about something I hate, but instead doing something to stop this from happening again.

Curry-osity

As a geek…I work with a lot of Indian-origin people.  That might not be the most PC thing to say, but get over yourself, its not the point of this post…

The point is…I had a conversation with one of them at work today about a trip he is taking in May.  The conversation went like this:

Me:  Oh a vacation!  Where are you going
Him:  To India
Me:  Oh lovely.  To visit your family?
Him:  Yes…..and,….to get married
Me:  OH!  Wait…didn’t you tell me last year that you were the ‘permanent bachelor type’ and weren’t interested in getting married when the 3 other Indian people you work with were all flying back to India to get married?  Didn’t you say arranged marriages were not for you and that you weren’t ready?
Him:  Yes…but it’s not just about me.  It’s about my family and her family and me.
Me:  Do you know her?
Him:  Yes for 2 months now
Me:  Do you like her?
Him:  Yes I wouldn’t agree to marry her if I didn’t
Me:  Have AGREED to marry her?  You mean you didn’t ask her?
Him: No that’s not the way it works
Me:  (Speechless while he laughed)

My point is that the woo-ing process (the courtship period if you will) for different walks of life is beyond my realm of understanding.  I will stick to the bouquet of red roses and chocolate covered strawberries sent to me to win me over while we get to know each other tyvm.  I want to marry my best friend and someone who gets along with my family, the person I entrust with my innermost secrets…not the one my parents kinda like, who I hope like hell we enjoy being around each other and who I’ll be stuck with after they are dead and gone. 

~Cheers to you my brave co-worker.  I wish you all the best.

Purrr-nation

Even if you only know me a little….you know I’m a huge animal person, and furthermore, a huge animal rights activist. 

I used to fight it, but as I’ve aged I have come to realize that part of my duty while on this earth is to be a voice for animals. 

We are their protectors, and at the cost of sounding religious, we have been endowed with the responsibility of ensuring their survival and keeping them from suffering.

When I see video’s like this…all I think about it what went wrong that  is causing this whale to suddenly vere off course.  I don’t think it’s cute or entertaining, I don’t think it’s amazing, I think its scary and I want it to be ok.

On Wednesday of this week I renewed my vow to do my part for animals in anyway I could.  I adopted a polar bear and a snow leopard from the world wildlife fund.  This organization helps endangered species all over the world.

http://www.worldwildlife.org/

I’m also a longstanding member of th ASPCA.  This is a great nation wide organization helping domesticated, abused animals, and exotic ones that ignoramus people think are charming to keep.

http://www.aspca.org/

These two organizations are near and dear to my heart.  I highly recommend contributing $5….if for no other reason than it would make me happy.

~Cheers to strong, healthy, happy, safe animals of every kind

To all my bitches…

W T F….no not ‘what the F’….Dubbalu Tee Eff….

Srsly, are you freaking kidding me right now.  Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, LADIES….let’s get one things straight.  This article, just set us back about, Oh, I’m gonna go with 69 years.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7971578.stm

Honestly my bitches…blaming your hormones on anything stereotypically female…that’s sooooo early 90’s.  Get control of yourselves women.  Personally speaking..um it’s not that difficult to take a step back and separate your emotions from your actions.  Let’s try more of that shall we? 

After reading this I want to turn in my membership card to the vagina club and start my own don’t-need-excuses foundation.

~Cheers to all the women out there like me

Home is where the nest is

I haven’t blogged in a while…I have been uninspired to write.  Today I found something to be inspired about.

I’m so glad my sister-in-law sent me this picture today.  Kansas will always be home for me, no matter where I live.  I’ve been missing it quite a lot lately.  I miss little things like, how clean everything is, how big the homes are, how new and up to date the buildings are, how high the personal level of presentation is, how the people aren’t consistently rude….and how even at Costco when a goose makes the landscape of a median of a parking lot her nest to lay eggs to hatch and raise her young in the spring, they cone off the area around it for her so no person and no cars can disturb her.

~Cheers to home

Workin for a livin….

So recently I’ve been finding myself staring at the map posted on the Mapquest site looking for vacation ideas….  I want two things:

1.  In May I want to take a vacation within the 48 continental states of the lovely United States of America.  Considering that I’ve been to all of them at least twice and every major city at least once….I’m finding myself a little bored with options.  I’m leaning toward touring Napa/San Fran or hiking in the mountains of Colorado.  Help!

2.  In Sept/Oct I want to take another European vacation.  At some point along the trip I want to be able to easily get to Amsterdam.  I’m looking for a cheap flight into London or Dublin, even Paris and I’d settle for Madrid or Berlin. 

I’ve been enthralled lately looking for my next get-a-way destination.  I’ll take all the suggestions/recommendations I can get.

~Cheers to having fun planning holidays

Blame Canada

So I’ve been talking to a few people lately about my FAVORITE kind of Potato chip.  All but one has been completely repulsed by them….and, as usual, I don’t give a F

I would eat these all the day long if I could.  I even posted a link where you can buy them. (And yes, just like everything else, they are imported  /L2deal).

~Cheers you ketchup loving Canucks!

Yet another dude who doesn’t stand a chance with me…

So there is so much bad stuff in the news lately…and since I’m currently snowed in…

Um,

 

Wow

It ain’t over till…

Tomorrow night I am going to the opera…for the first time in YEARS.  I’m /giddy.  I looked through the entire seasons at both the Met in NYC and the Philly Opera and picked the one I related to the most.  BEHOLD THE WINNER:

http://www.operaphilly.com/08-09/production3.shtml

Hmm….synopsis:

This epic opera is centered around a beautiful Mandarin princess who possesses dazzling beauty, but a heart of stone. As countless suitors attempt to answer the mystifying riddles she poses, they meet their ruin. Can one brave, noble man beat her at her own dangerous game and at last ignite her passions? Puccini’s final opera and ultimate romantic masterpiece features a heartbreakingly-beautiful score anchored by the lavish melody “Nessun Dorma,” perhaps the most famous aria in all of opera.

Yeah it’s a total mystery why I relate to this one.  Can’t imagine what about it drew me to it.  Guess I’ll just have to keep wondering.

~Cheers

Hehe..he said stimulus

For further reading   I found it to be quasi-informative…but at least it’s impartial.

Ginkgo Biloba

Hmmmm…

So, as a woman in her 30’s (OUCH!) I have a hard enough time trying to remember all the things I don’t want to forget.  There are really people out there who need a pill for that?  Pft!  Just give them a sex change and some estrogen.

Seriously though, I think this is treading on dangerous water.  The brain is such a complex and unknown part of the human body that how can they be sure this pill is only targeting the part of the brain they want it to?  Are we really so desperate that we would rather try to destroy cells than figure out all the potential the brain holds? 

Personally, I know PTSD is very serious, extremely traumatic, and difficult to live day to day with, but if you think I’m ever going to take that pill you’re fooling yourself.  Oh and ‘accelerated Alzheimer’s’…..oh yeah…sign me up /sarcasm.

~Cheers to keeping all my memories, the good, the bad, and all the ones I jokingly wish I could forget

Normally I hate V Day….

But, I gotta say…..best pre-V Day to date so far.  /cheesy grin

I’ll post the pics soon.
