My experience as a pet owner

I recently acquired a pet. A cat named Phoebe to be exact.  Now, I don’ treally consider myself a cat person, but ever since living alone I thought getting a pet companion would be a good idea.  I toyed with the idea of a cute dog, but then I thought about the time commitment a [...]

Time Magazine reviews Facebook’s 25 Random things!

Anyone who is anyone on Facebook (formerly www.thefacebook.com, how many people remember that?) has done a 25 random things about me, been tagged in one, or read one.  At first it started out with 16 things, then tagging 16 of your friends who then in turn did their own 16 things.  But it evolved.  So [...]

Barack Obama’s Open Letter

From Parade Magazine.. Obama’s Open Letter to His Daughters:
Dear Malia and Sasha,
I know that you’ve both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn’t have let you have. But I [...]

OMG! When did Tickle.com Close?

OH HELL NO!!

I love/loved www.tickle.com.  So imagine my surprise today when I decided I was going to go get my test on and they were closed.  IDK what sparked this.  They had some good ass tests on their site. I have a folder in my Gmail dedicated to my Tickle results.  I have my sexual [...]

Celebrate Kwanzaa

I’ve been meaning to write about Kwanzaa since the day after Christmas, but all types of holiday stuff had me too busy. I can’t say that I actually participate in Kwanzaa, but I think that people have the wrong idea of what it exactly is. Some think of it as an alternative to [...]

Write, but don’t read?

I came across this article about how 2008 was proclaimed the year of reading. In the article they said  Posh Spice (Victoria Beckham) has never read a book, but yet she writes them.  How does that really work? What about her kids? I think this occurs a lot today. Hell, we have a lot of [...]

The “New” American Crisis

Where did the money go? Isn’t that the wonderful question plaguing us all in this “economical crises” that the US is in? My question is slightly different, where are we getting the money is  my question.  Suppossedly in a 5 trillion dollar deficit.   So where is the federal government getting these billions of dollars to [...]

Happy Constitution Day!

I have a wonderful video playing at my job today to celebrate this document… even though so many things that occur today are UNCONSTITUTIONAL… I should get John McCain’s quote about how he wants people who will apply interpret the constitution as the forefathers wanted it… Anywho… everyone is all handing out free stuff in [...]

Who Gives a Book?

I had an interesting discussion the other night about audiobooks, e-books, and regular old books.  Audiobooks are on the rise and books are on the decline.  For me, part of the joy of reading comes from flipping the pages of the book and slipping into a world that isn’t my own.  I don’t see the [...]

Can We Talk For a Minute??

I always knew i was attached to my devices.  My cellphone, computer, ipod or anything else that was small and portable.  Needless to say I felt completely disconnected from the world when my laptop was on the fritz for a few weeks a couple of months ago. Sure internet can be accessed via cell phones, [...]

Spin Class My Ass

So in my world, Thursdays have recently become “Spin Class Thursday.” So every week no matter how tired I am and I drag my ass to the 6:45 pm Spin Class at my gym.  Now, I’ve been doing this class for about 3 weeks, so its fairly new. But its pretty cool.  But if anyone [...]

iTunes Blunder

Every time I’m updating my playlists on my iTunes I always wish that I could see if a song is already on a playlist and silently prayed for the iTunes Gods to add that user-friendly feature.  Now, one thing is important, I consider myself pretty iTunes savvy, so imagine my surprise when one day I [...]
