Oh HAI Hot Girls!

Boys are easy... I can name my top 5 quite easily. It's those pesky girls that give me pause. After all, there are a plethora (a jubilee, if you will) of beautiful women in the world. There are also a number of pretty women in the world; ask anyone, pretty and beautiful are not the same. I think Sienna Miller is very pretty. She is, however, quite plain (by Hollywood standards) and so she cannot be considered gorgeous. So how do I rank? Should I even be ranking? It's rude and ugly. But I'm bored and I'm going to anyway.

Zoe Saldana.

Adriana Lima.

Angelina Jolie.

I need to work on this, I'll be back with the final two soon.

LOVE

"People always ask me, 'You have so much confidence. Where did that come from?' It came from me. One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn't have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it's your home, and," she chuckles, "you must decorate it."

Harper's Bazaar Interview with "Precious" star Gabourey Sidibe

I Have This Friend...

... He was one of my best friends when I was a teenager. I absolutely loved this kid. For some reason I thought he was a lot younger than me at the time. Come to find out we're exactly the same age. When I say exactly the same age, I mean that he was born on the exact same day as me, down to the year. I never asked his mom what time he was born... I'm convinced I'm the older twin and I never wanted her to ruin my fun (and bossiness).

Here's the thing. My friend? He did something stupid. Something absolutely and monumentally stupid. It actually resulted in someone's death. He was put in jail for a lot of years. We're 23 years old, folks. He's spending the better part of his life behind bars for a single mistake he made as a young man. Now, I don't disagree with his punishment. That's really not the point of this blog.

The point is this, I check up on him from time to time on the inmate website. I'm not sure why. Maybe because I miss the kid and want tangible proof that even though I can't see him, somewhere he is safe.

I looked him up tonight and saw that he's been... reprimanded (for lack of a better word) for something he's done and the fact that he's being punished (because jail apparently isn't punishment enough for the kid, he has to keep doing dumb things) just hit me like a blow to the chest.

It physically hurts me to know where he's ended up. I don't understand how we got so far away from each other. I don't understand how the cute boy I fell into step with ended up where he is. It just doesn't make sense to me. I'll probably never understand since I stay away from the life that will land me where he is.

It's just a crying shame, you know? He's on lock-down for like 12-14 years. Late-30s, guys. I know that's not old but realistically, his life is half over and he will have spent it in jail and for what? A hot temper and a stupid sense of pride.

...This was going somewhere in the beginning, I know it was. Now, I'm just so downhearted that I can't figure out my way back to the original message. I guess it doesn't really matter.

Don't waste your life on stupid things folks. There are people who care about you out here.

Dieting & Exercising

I really wish it was the 'thought that counts' as pertaining to dieting and/or exercising. Wouldn't it be awesome to sit down and watch an exercise video and lose the lbs without even trying? *Sigh* Oh man, that would be the ultimate.

How I wish, now, that I had stayed active over the years because trying to get back into it after (let's be honest here, probably about 10 years) is nothing nice. My muscles hurt all the time. It sucks. I stand up and I hurt. I sit down and I hurt. When I'm laying in bed at night... you guessed it, my muscles hurt. I can't complain too much because I know it's for the best overall but for the moment I just want to bitch and moan and console myself with a pint of ice cream. Only, wait, can't do that either. Grrr.

All my melodrama aside, what's really been going on?

We had my mom's oncologist appointment yesterday (Jesus H., was it only yesterday?) and they have decided that the best course of action is a surgery. He was ready to go tomorrow but she needed a little more time. She says it's to train the people at work on how to do her job since she'll be out anywhere from 3-6 weeks (VACATION!! Woot!) but I think that it's more she's afraid and needs some time to wrap her head around it. I'm willing to give her a little time but not too much. I'm ready to fight! Haha.

We really liked her new Doc. I pride myself on having fantastic instincts about people and this guy was just amazing as soon as I met him. That's probably good considering he's taking my mum's life in his hands. I would allow nothing less than amazing near her. What can I say? I'm protective. Haha.

Anyway, more updates later. I need to go lick my wounds. Just did The Biggest Loser: Cardio Max and I am dying. *Gasp, gasp*

Sick, Sick, Sick!

I loathe being sick. I'm not good at it. I go back to being 8 years old and all I want is my mommy (and to sleep!) Regardless, I've been sick for about a week now. I thought it was just a cold at first but it hasn't gone away and I'm fairly certain that it's gotten worse. I'm afraid, at this point, that I may have *dum dum dum!* strep throat.

I made an appointment at my fail-y Dr.'s office this morning (I tried to get in at my mom's new Dr. but she has a quota of people she can accept on my insurance and apparently, she's full... that whore) and the lady said, "We have an opening at 12:45 this afternoon." Now, in my world, that means, "We have an opening at 12:45 this afternoon." Au contraire mon ami. Apparently, in that particular Dr.'s world, it means, "We have an opening tomorrow at 12:45."

So I showed up today ready to be healed and they kicked me out. I was so pissed off. I cried tears of pisstivity. I am so tired of being sick and even though I fight going to the Dr. with my last breath... I was ready to get this taken care of. And they fucked me. The worst thing? It wasn't even the first time they've done this to me. I need a new Dr.

WTF CABLE TV

Why is cable TV forsaking me? Why do my few shows hate me so?? I don't ask much of them. Entertain me, please. That's all. This list shows when all the shows start back up after the mid-season break. Enjoy.

I'm angry at a few things. The shows starting in January, fine. I hate that they stop shows in the middle anyway... I think it's stupid. That being said, what's up with Gossip Girl not starting back up until March? That's taking 'break' quite far. I feel like that may as well be a new season, how ridiculous. Also, series finale of Dollhouse? Very sad.

My beloved Joss Whedon just can't win. In about 4 years that shit will have a huge following and they'll make a movie about it. *Sigh* That's just the way things go for him.

Happy New Year, Y'all

Happy New Year guys! It's 2010 now and what do I wish for this year? (Most call these resolutions but that is boring... so we're going with wishes.)

We'll do the big ones first, yes?

This year, I want to win the lottery. I'm not greedy, a couple dozen millions will work fine for me.


This year, I want to have the body of Jessica Simpson (Dukes of Hazzard era, please.)

Alright, that being said, my realistic wishes for this year.

This year, I want to stop being such a flake and actually do the things I say I'm going to do. I may not always feel like doing things but I am tired of missing out on the important things because I can't bring myself to get out of bed and actually follow through.

This year, I want to start telling people exactly how I feel instead of keeping everything to myself.

This year, I want to get through the medical issues surrounding my mom and go back to being blissfully ignorant. (Minus the ignorant part... because that would be impossible at this point.)

Movies of 2009

My Ex Future Boyfriend

Today, I got pulled over on my way home by a cop. He asked me if I knew why he pulled me over, and I responded, "Because you want to invite me to the Police Officer's Ball?" He then replied, "No ma'am, police officers don't have balls".

My Life is Average
