Google Yourself...

2006-12-12T19:39:00.000-08:00

I know how this sounds, but I have been trying to get some information on my family's history for a long time & haven't been able to get much. My father, aunts & uncles claim not to remember anything from childhood or any family, we don't have very much a far as documentation, and pictures? You can forget about that...

I do have some immigration documents of when my grand parents & their parents came here, but thats about it...and because the spellings of so many surnames where changed at Ellis Island (even to the slightest degree) it has made it impossible to look up any info. So basically I know where my family is from in Sicily, I know names & I have a hand full of photos, everything else is a mystery.

Then, this past Saturday, I was searching for something on line & out of no where I Googled my last name. When I got a few hits, I was surprised because I don't have a common last name, in fact the only people with it are related to me. Any way, I found somebody's Family Tree (titled with a different last name than mine) & some of my family members are listed on it!!!!!!!

I couldn't believe it! Anyway, I sent an email to the person who created it & we've begun to communicate. He's overseas right now & lives across the country from me, but it turns out that his grandmother is/was my grandmother's sister...so, I guess that makes him my like 2nd cousin or something??

Any way, I think this is very very cool...and anybody who is looking for any info should try it...

Bog People...

2006-09-10T22:49:00.000-07:00

This is...The Tollund Man
He is, by far- the coolest of the Bog People...the most well preserved body from the Pre-Historic Iron Age, about 2400 years ago (he wasn't on display at The Natural HIstory Museum, L.A.), but they did have a pretty cool exhibit going on. Of course the procrastinator in me waited until today to see it (it was the last day), it's only been there since like March or something...

The Mysterious Bog People:
Maybe alittle too much of a History lesson for me, but all in all...very cool. It was dark & eerie and there was this somewhat lound sound coming from the display of this bronze age horn that they would play while you were on your way to sacrifice yourself to the gods, or be murdered & thrown in the bog only to be rediscovered in the 20th century...pretty cool if you ask me...

Olvera Street

2006-09-03T10:42:00.000-07:00

I went down to Olvera Street the other day without a camera, making it impossible for me to share my experience...however, I did see a lot of Frida & Diego prints, t-shirts, etc there...thus the hommage to Ms. Kahlo...

I did not know that Olvera Street was the beginning of L.A., the Man Dawg, just took me there to get some bomb ass Mexican cuisine (which we did)...I had the best Mexican food in life there...

I didn't expect it to be quite so touristy, but it was fun...all of the old buildings and merchants lining the streets & down the center of the street...there was this one dude blowing glass, that was really cool...

Loved It...

The Hockney exhbit @ LACMA is like THE BOMB...I'm not (or wasn't) a huge Hockney fan, however, after the show at LACMA, I 've had a change of heart...its really good...I had no idea what a talented draughtsman he is, I would suggest seeing it if you have the chance...

http://www.lacma.org/art/ExhibCurrent.aspx#Klimt

I saw it today and it was the bomb shit!!!!

Its like SOOOO beautiful in person, even more so than you ever thought possible! I mean for real...it looks like something magical & inconceivable. and then the story of it all...is just THE SHIT!
Some info...

LACMA is honored to announce a special exhibition of five important paintings by Austrian artist Gustav Klimt (1862–1918). The paintings were recently returned by the Austrian government to the family of Maria Altmann, of Los Angeles, following a lengthy legal dispute over the rightful ownership of these works stolen by the Nazi regime.

The five masterpieces by Klimt epitomize the height of Viennese Jugendstil. They include two portraits of Maria Altmann’s aunt, Adele Bloch-Bauer (1881–1925) and three landscapes, Beechwood (1903), Apple Tree I (ca. 1911), and Houses in Unterach on Lake Atter (1916). The five paintings, which until recently hung in the Austrian Gallery Belvedere in Vienna, have never before been shown together in the United States.

You're the shit Ms. Loser, thanks for the bomb picture!

THIS is how I feel...

2005-12-04T10:59:00.000-08:00

...among the crowds during the Christmas season, pondering the meaning of life...

and why the fuck Christmas has to be SO fucking expensive and why the fuck everybody has to be so fucking RUDE!!! We're ALL in this together... you muddas!

Its like you want to buy something nice for the people in your life, you know...something they want that they might not buy for themselves, right? But what is it really? A CASH COW for stores, manufacturers and card companies (just to name a few), and it sucks man.

I mean where's the spirit of giving? You know like 50-75% off of the Sony Cybershot (as an example). Or like a FREE CD player with FREE installation for my new old Honda (which by the way FUCKING ROCKS, but would rock so much harder with that shit)??

Gimme a break man! This is suppose to be a season for love and sharing and caring, so why is everyone so pissed off...

...Because of the overpriced gifts and fake-me-out sales, the traffic and all the fucking attitude man!

Basically people suck and they ruin the fuckin' holiday:

BAH FUCKING HUM BUG!

Thanksgiving is all about the wine!

2005-11-26T13:03:00.000-08:00

Unfortunately, the Dawg has not yet given me a Sony CyberShot, thus I do not have any fantabulous photos of Turkey day to post...

But I can tell you that I drank entirely toooo much wine on The Day, the take over of native land day, or as Tanky called it, "Western Imperialism Day." In fact it was sooo much wine that I missed out on going to the Laker game @ Staples...for free! That really sucks...

I think I stayed up talking with my step brother until about 2am, drinking wine, but by 9pm, I already couldn't see straight, so i guess the moral of the story is , I Won! Until Friday that is...

I had planned to see my good friend Raquel, Rocky Road (hehehe), whom I truely love and miss, but I was soooo hung over that I hope she forgives me (since she hasn't called me back yet) and lets me see her in a couple of weeks!!!!

The one thing I did accomplish on Friday (because I had to) was to test drive my step-mom's mom's car. Its a 1994 Honda Accord, EX. It has a sun roof, power everything, 4 doors, its a beautiful color red and its in great condition and has 3 very cool Maui stickers on the rear window! WOO-HOOO!!! Anyways, she is buying a new car & I am soon to be the proud owner of this bomb-ass ride!!! Its a good thing too, because I think my current ride, is done, its tired, in short: IT IS OVA! But, its a good thing I didn't get pulled over either, I was so hung over that I mighta gotten arrested...

Oh yeah, if anyone is looking to buy a 1997 Plymouth Neon, green, with some VERY interesting looking cloth interior and 130,000 miles on it, please let me know...

**Note this vehicle should not be purchased if you plan to use it for daily driving in excess of 20 miles per day, or if you prefer to have a manual window that works properly...
On the other hand, if you don't mind having to open the door at drive threws or missing the gas cap door, and enjoy the fear of your car breaking down at any given moment, please respond to this add!

SHE is the shit...

A Woman who is not afraid; A Woman who is not ashamed; A Woman who is real; A Woman who is proud; A Woman with a sense of humor...

These are the ladies I back the most...

I mean she's not perfect but hey, who gives a shit, this is her...

She is SO NOT afraid that she goes further and purposely tries to distort what she's got, like all the parts that we normally try to hide , or at least we don't let them hang out, but her, naw, she's goin for it...

And I, well I totally fucking back her, because...

Well, that's the shit...

Haa-aay...

2005-10-27T21:26:00.000-07:00

Woo-Hoo Bitches!!

Woooo-hooooo

2005-10-21T17:00:00.000-07:00

I got a job, I got a job...and you can't have it, you can't have it...

HAH!!!

Okay, I know I'm a little excited but hey, its like a dream job for me, and I have been looking for a while...even found myself in the jar (bell-jar that is) because of it, I mean I WAS Winona in Reality Bites, (hence the Bacon). However, now, I feel like I've turned over a new leaf and my life can start coming together for me once again...

OH...

and YES...

there WAS...

a Lichtenstein propped up against the wall during my interview...

HAH!!

Oh, Yes I Did...

2005-10-20T13:58:00.000-07:00

I love America's Next Top Model. I know its wrong but I can not help myself...I am addicted to this show. I mean, I love the photo shoots, I love the make-up and the clothes, I love the judges, esp mr & ms J. And yes, dude, I even love Tyra...especially her soft panel elimination voice. That is so her 'comin ta git ya' voice, cause she never-ever talks like that!

I love how every season there is one girl in particular with some kind of out of control addiction, i.e. an eating disorder, drinking, partying, too skinny, too voluptuous, too muscular, too wholesome, etc, etc, etc!!! And this season...Androgyny!!!!! I love the caddy claw fights between each of these bitches. Man, that one chick who's always bustin the vino and talkin smack...it's just funny! The other chick, tellin the drinker, "I just don't like you," come on, it doesn't get better than that. Except, last night when homegirl stole the other chicks secret and then got pissed at her for not backing it...OH MY GOD! It's like Days of Our Lives but better! I mean, these bitches are bringin it this season...

But why, WHY do they always have to bust at least one "big" girl (and I put big in quotations because none of these girls have even been big by normal people standards). I mean, they know they are not going to let them win, but they always bust that one token plus size model, then they let her stay for a few weeks and then unsurprinsingly enough, they eliminate her...because of her attitude! They always say that her personality has changed since the beginning, not that her photos are bad...its like feeding the beast with hope then completely shitting on the whole sha-bang!

A Few Friendly Fucking Requests...

2005-10-19T11:15:00.000-07:00

When you see that a person's lane is ending, please let them over...

When someone first gets on the freeway, please let them in your lane before theirs ends...

When that driver lets you over, give him a thank you wave...

When you're shopping in a crowded store, please DON'T stop right in the middle of the aisle blocking everyone from getting around you...

Please control your children in public...

Don't be an asshole...

Get off your fucking phone...

When someone smiles at you because they're being friendly, please smile back...

When someone politely says "Excuse me," do it and don't give them attitude, rather- be friendly and polite in return...

If someone's car won't wont start and they ask you for a jump, do it. Especially if she is a 16 year old girl with no other options...

Don't be an asshole...

I Love This F***ing Show...

2005-10-19T11:07:00.000-07:00

This show is The BOMB! and its getting even better. Caesar is in Egypt. I don't have to tell you that he's kickin asses and takin names, but you know he is!

That's Right Y'all, Its My Other Man...

2005-10-05T23:21:00.000-07:00

Ok, here's the deal...I LOVE AL PACINO. I mean, its a problem, it is obsessive and at one point it even bordered on stalker. I fell in love with Al when I was 12 years old...the first time I saw The Godfather ...and I have loved him ever since. Then a few years ago, I was like 22 and working at General Cimena Theatres in Colton (Inland Empire represent!!) and our theatre in Westwood was doing a Research Screening (where the film makers gauge audience reactions before the movie is released) for The Devil's Advocate.

So, ok, like everyone and their mamma knew about my realtionship with Al right? So yeah, I got to hold the door open for AL as he snuck into the theatre for the screening. And YES, my friends I was in my best black mini-dress and platforms with my hair & make-up looking just so... and, well, it must have worked because although I was sweating and about to pass out at any moment, he looked at me with those beautiful brown eyes and passionately whispered..."THANK YOU!" I knew it then and I know it now, he wanted me. Anyway, I think I said you're welcome, but really, I'm not quite sure what came out when I opened my mouth...And, I had been warned not to say anything too stalkery or to jump on him during this entire experience, so my weak at the knees reaction did not follow him up the stairs, but I did stand there and dream about it for a few minutes as I watched him walk up and out of my sight (that was due purely to contractual obligation for the Screening, I know it)...Then, none too soon the Reverend Big Tanky came and saved me from falling down...Naturally my love for Al grew to new measures after this intimate encounter, and...

I created the bombest "AL"tar in the whole world...It rested on my grandmother's old-school vanity with the three-part mirror above it, where I busted none other than a sticker for only THE BEST Swedish Disco Band ever, yes...ABBA!! Then I strategically placed two fabulous Gangsta-AL stickers and a few newspaper/magazine cut-outs which featured him in their photos. Running across the top were some Mardis Gras beads, which I scored from the RIO. Now, on the lower-center piece, underneath the mirror, was an incense burner flanked by 1 small candle on each side and then on either side of those stood an Al-Candle...Now, this Al-Candle is a red wax candle filled into a tall glass candle holder (like the God/Jesus candles) with this photo of my boyfriend on the outside.

Now, on the side pieces of the vanity, I leaned 2, yes count'em 2, signed pictures of Al...one on either side...and had 2 bouquets of dried flowers set there for him, along with countless candles and incense burners. This was for Al offerings and small sacrifices.

I realize that this was a bit extreme but I also had several framed posters of Al in my bedroom and they were all looking at me, this one specifically watched over me while I slept and it seemed (I swear) as if his eyes followed you around the room. This was completely UN-intentional, in fact I didn't even notice it until I had already hung everything up and was laying in my bed...but I did NOT change it around, after all it was fate...

So, OKAY...AL "THE MAN" Pacino, has a new movie coming out THIS Friday, with none other than hottie Matthew McConaughey...TWO FOR THE MONEY, thats for damn sure its 2 hotties for the $$$ of one ticket baaaay-bay!!!! I mean Pacino and McConaughey...ooh-la-la!

An Ode to The Dawg Yo...

2005-10-03T14:11:00.000-07:00

The Ladies of Avignon and I hope you had a great first day at work today MANDAWG!
(If anybody is reading this, give the Dawg some props...

He's been in the O.C. all day long (after he got through the 2 sig-alerts he encountered on the 405, North that is, this morning)...

And, as if that weren't enough...

He probably began by filling out some paperwork, for about 4 hours...
Then he probably went through an orientation of sorts...
He probably spent some more time walking around, in an effort to get aquainted with the place...
after which I am sure he ate (and loved) the bomb-ass lunch I made him at the crack of dawn this morning before putting it in a little teeny-tiny lunch-size cooler (kinda like a dork carries, but I dare anyone to talk shit to the dawg)...
Then he probably came back to learn a new computer system, and deal with the bitchiest clientele that the O.C. has to offer (no offense to anyone reading this, of course)...
At the end of the day I'm sure he can NOT wait to get home (traffic and all) just to see ME, the love of his life, still in her pajamas...

Now...As you can see, its obvious, The Dawg could use a few props)

Just Thought We All Needed a Little More Bacon...

2005-10-01T12:02:00.000-07:00

Sometimes there are only some things you can stand to surround yourself with...and right now, for me, its the Bacon. Don't get me wrong, the whipping room's got it going on...but come on, there is a certain humor involved...

Just breathe it in...

its all better now...

isn't it?

Yeah, I Think They Got it Right...

2005-09-30T14:19:00.000-07:00

Its been a Francis Bacon Kinda Moment/Week...

2005-09-29T14:57:00.000-07:00

I have found myself in a Francis Bacon frame of mind...in my own sort of 'whipping room' that only the Bacon can help visualize in the most precise way.
It can be described as stuck, frustrated, irritated and some other adjectives that I will spare you.

Yeah Bay-bee...

2005-09-21T01:23:00.000-07:00

That's right people, my sweetie "the mandawg" got a new job today!! I am so proud of him that I think he deserves something special...like some kinda gift...any ideas (hehehe)?

Dawg...I knew your karma would turn around for you soon and here it is...so, down with the stress (its OUT) and in with the sinful, yet deserving pleasures in life...

Unfortunately, the dawg will have to deal with some serious O.C. bitches in his new job, but he'll handle it, not like any kinda 'who-bang,' rather like the intelligent and sophisticated man he is...he'll just DAWG it up!

2005-09-20T09:53:00.000-07:00

I happened to run across this blog this morning and find this awe-inspiring website.

After reading some of the letters that people wrote to Sally & Johnny, I felt that I needed to do my part to get the word out...it's supposed to be FUNNY, man!!!

Ohhhhhh, NO She Didn't...

2005-09-19T14:50:00.000-07:00

OH..............................MY GOD!!!

Priscilla.....WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING???
Nothing more need be said, EXCEPT...
Elvis has got to be rolling over in his grave right now...I totally thought this was the kid from The Grudge, but actually...the above photo says it all

Grappa is NO joke...

2005-09-16T22:54:00.000-07:00

Grappa Wine Information:

Grappa is a traditional Italian drink, made from the leftover skins and seeds of grapes used for wine. This is called the "Pomacy" or "Pomace". The Pomace is fermented and distilled in its natural state. The result is around 90 proof and clear in color.
Grappa is also known by other names. It is called Marc in France, Aguardiente in Spain and Portugal, and in Germany it's known as Tresterschnapps.
The grappa is dry and high in alcohol, with the flavors ranging from floral to earthy. It can have highlights of oak or juniper berries as well. Grappa is typically consumed after dinner. It should be served in a small glass at a cool temperature, 57F or so.

Okay so that is like the official info, but...

Lemme just tell ya that it WILL kick your ass..
Yes, my friends, The GRAPPA is an ass kicker...

I mean I had my share of vino with my bomb-ass dad last night, but then...
he busted out with...

THE GRAPPA...

and then...

I was 3 sheets to the wind, and today...

well...

today...

She's Ordained & Performing Weddings In Anaheim YO!

2005-09-13T12:25:00.000-07:00

Here they are, all married and shit...

This is the bride, Vanessa, standing with the best man; her hubbie is the one in the back with the white tux on standing next to Reverend Tanky, the Maid of Honor and Tiffany. Here they are...official, with Marriage certificate in hand...

Vanessa is my girl 's (a.k.a. Ma'am , Big Tanky, a.k.a. Reverend Tanky, a.k.a. The Rev) cousin!!! Now...having been chosen by God, B.T. was also chosen by Vanessa (a.k.a.Nessa, Nesser, Nesser Loo, the bride), to marry her and her baby's daddy, Joe (a.k.a. the hubbie), this past Saturday.

Now...I was there to witness this event both as long time family friend and as wing-woman to The Rev...Keeping her at the right level of wine, water and cigarettes while diverting any and all negative influences and comments from any ignorant guests toward the ma'am...

Who by the way performed the BOMB wedding!!! I love you Baby!!! I mean she had people suggesting that she do this on the side for money, like a true woman of God!

So wouldn't you know it, right at the time that the bride was going to walk down the aisle I was caught with a cork screw in hand, less my camera...thus, not getting any photots of my girl officiating her very first wedding, BOOOOOO!!!!! So, the only pictures I could get with my camera were either before or after the fact.

In an effort not to piss off the Reverend or the Bride (and also with the agenda of not being condemned straight to Hell or out of the Family) I have posted a couple of safe and cute photos of the aforementioned participants...Aren't they beauty-full!!

I Love you Ma'am!! You did such a good job being The Reverend and I know your entire family was proud of you and were very happy that it was YOU who married Vanessa...

***Note To All Readers:

The Reverend , her cousin B.J. (a.k.a. Beej) and I...ARE FOR HIRE.

Somewhat like The Wedding Crashers but we will actually provide you with a service. Each week-end Reverend Tanky will perform weddings, I will continue being her wing-woman (who is also ordained..in the event that she gets too drunk before any ceremony I can easily take her place). Now we demand a catered event stocked with plenty of booze (the more booze the better, of course). Beej will be charging your guests to take their picture (only $5 a pop...and he will take ANY photo they want). This is not optional as all proceeds will be used to pay for our driver!

"Hell to the Naw..."

2005-09-12T13:39:00.000-07:00

We have been through thick and thin with Whitney...
The Good, The Bad and The U-G-L-Y, you ain't got NO alibi you ugly, Whitney. We have seen her transform from The Bodyguard Whitney to the "Crack is Wack" Whitney. And now, my personal favorite the Being Bobby Brown Whitney...

So, the other night I am watching the episode where Bobby and Whitney take the fam on vacation for Mother's Day and Whitney of course reigned as Queen Bitch...as she ate hot dogs, swam and yelled in a fit of rage about being asked for autographs and whether on- lookers could take her picture. While Bobby (desperate for a comeback) gladly obliged his fans as well as Whitney's...

Later this same evening, I fell asleep watching an old episode of The Practice, where Jimmy Berluti (i.e. 'Jimmy the Grunt') had to try and save face as an attorney who had never won a case while taking on the most important case of his career...tragically, it was people with cancer.

Inevitably, I feel asleep and had dreams of Whitney, Bobby and attorneys overcoming intense humiliation only to become heroes in the end...That's when it happened ladies and gentlemen, Whitney hired ME as her attorney in her most recent run in with the law, surpirsingly, on a drug charge...

Now, as a person who is NOT a lawyer, even in my dreams, I counciled Bobby and Whitney to hire a lawyer who is a member of The Bar, however, they chose not to take my advise. And in my dream, where a non-lawyer can practice law...I served as Whitney's attorney!!

Yes, my friends, it's true...in front of a 50 person jury, I got the prosecutor's office to drop ALL charges against Whitney after my brilliant opening remarks, it was a victory for all person's involved!!!

Fuck them All...

*Fuck Arizona State pig fuckers whose ultra conservative laws put too many non violent offenders in prison for too long and then impose probation restrictions that are entirely too burly for anyone to abide by once they get out:
come on you can't walk into a liquor store, step into a bar (or any place that sells liquor, except a grocery store), take even one sip of an alcoholic beverage, move, get a loan or go on vacation (without their permission) for 4 fucking years and if you do...you go back to prison for 3 years & 9 months.

*Fuck the government for not helping the victims in New Orleans in a timely manner...like before it happened, they knew it was coming.

*Fuck them for letting hurricane Katrina survivors go without medical emergency response, food, water and a sanitary place to pee/shit for 4 days after sending them to Superdome & Convention Center for "refuge."
What does 'refuge' mean?
1. The state of being protected or safeguarded, as from danger or hardship.
2. Something that physically protects, especially from danger.
3. An institution that provides care and shelter.
4. That to which one turns for help when in desperation.

*Fuck the government for staying on vacation during the first two days of the worst natural disaster to happen in our country.

*Fuck pieces of shit who rape young girls/women during times of disaster and tragedy.

*Fuck everyone involved with gas prices.

*Fuck the liquor store down the street from my house that charges $.05 for a book of matches, aren't those like free?

*Fuck drivers that don't wave thank you when you go out of your way to let them in front of you, you didn't have to.

*Fuck bitches who claim to be your friend and then bust the wrongest shit to you, like wronger than you would treat someone you just met & have NO loyalty toward.

*Fuck stupid people with no loyalty.

Happy Fucking Birthday...

2005-08-31T00:41:00.000-07:00

Yeah that's right, I said it...It's my birthday, fucking 30 years old today.

No doubt my mother will call to guilt me (as she has every year for the last 30 years on my birthday, mother's day and even her birthday) about how thirsty she was, but could only have ice chips, during my 28 hour labor that ended up in her having a cesarian because my head was tooo freakin big.

My dad will call and be the shit, as always.

Depressingly this will be the first year that my brother won't be around to celebrate my birthday, every year no matter where either of us are he always celebrates my b-day with me...but, this year I will have to accept a $20 out of state collect call if I want to speak with him for a mere 15 minutes.

Other than that, it looks to be an interesting transition from spring chicken to reheated leftovers.

The Virgin Rules...

2005-08-31T00:00:00.000-07:00

The Dawg took me to see this movie today...it was really funny. Besides The Wedding Crashers this is the only movie we've seen this summer that was like really the bomb. It was sooo much better than I thought it was going to be...I mean this dude rides a bike, no a BICYCLE (and this was like NOT EVEN the bomb bike, it was pretty wack)- with big ass handlebars, a big funky-ass helmet and he tucks his pant leg into his sock (notice that is not plural, it was only the right one). We still can't figure out why the virgin didn't drive, but I think he wins!

Mr. Nunez rocks...

2005-08-29T10:49:00.000-07:00

Mr. Nunez- Hey babe, thanks for the bomb shout out on your blog!! That is the shit.

It's Sooooo Not Happenin'...

This is the lake in the park right across the street from our house and this is our neighborhood Gator, Caimen(?), uh...whatever...recently we found out that his name is Reggie and that an ex-LAPD officer owned him as a pet along with some other exotic animals. Any way, Reggie got too big for the fuzz so...he put him in our lake! Also just in:

Reggie's favorite food is raw chicken wings!!

Also...He doesn't want to be caught dude, so you're gonna have to get a little craftier than bread crumbs (Reggie doesn't give a shit), Foster Farms chicken (hmmm...I think he saw it coming), the Colorado Alligator wrangler (he's from Colorado, I mean get a real wranlger from like Florida or Louisiana, you know someplace where gators come from) and a net (he ate through it man!!!). This net idea, I mean they have put up like the weakest orange net-like fence around the lake, which has been totally compromised by the elements alone and people just walk around it anyway. I mean, if Reggie cruises on land and wants to get around the fence, man, he's doin it-no doubt-it like wouldn't even be a challenge.

I simply just don't think its happenin, Reggie's home & he ain't leavin'!

Even Nuns Gotta Take the Edge off...

2005-08-28T17:42:00.000-07:00

These are the kinda nuns I wanna kick it with. I mean at a bar...that's the shit by itself but come on- hooker legs...it doesn't get better than that!

I mean I don't know if nuns are even allowed to drink liquor, but as far as I'm concerned they should be able too since they can't enjoy any of life's other pleasures:

having sex, masterbating, cussing, taking the lord's name in vein (I mean come on...sometimes you just gotta), they can't even watch dirty movies, or have bad thoughts. I probably missed a few, but we all get the picture.

I bet when nuns get together and throw a few back its the shit. All I want to know is what do they talk about??? God? hot priests? cute alter boys? hmmm....

I Hate This Shit...

2005-08-25T14:43:00.000-07:00

I mean, its beautiful and if I were going to be driving throught the hot ass desert- which could and probably will begin to flash flood half way there, where there is nobody else on the road and limited cell reception- for a fun filled week end, I would actually be stoked!!!
Unfortunately fun is not on the agenda for me just drama...just SHIT! And it sucks...First I have to fight traffic getting to Beaumont to hook up with my bomb ass dad, then get on the lonely ass highway to Hell, spend the night in HOT-ASS Needles (of all fucking places) and then start the whole shit over again at 7am tomorrow morning...plus I am sick and tomorrow will be an extremely emotional day that I have not been able to stop crying over all fucking week long.

Whooo-Hooo bitches!!!

2005-08-25T03:28:00.000-07:00

I totally just figured out how to fix Haloscan because I totally messed it up at first, but its cool now!! It was like when I made a post it would post the "comment/trackback" spots in 2 places, not just one- BUSTED!!! I am stoked since I didn't think that was going to happen, at least not tonight & not without some expert help, mais voilà!!
I am totally bummed though, because I lost my very first comment- that sucks. It was a really good one too, I got called baby cakes and everything... damn!

2005-08-25T02:28:00.000-07:00

I have soooo become one with Gala after working tirelessly to figure out how to work the blog. Its like all of you seasoned veterans are out there making it look so easy, slowly tempting us prospective newbies...
Like oh, you can tell stories, you can bitch about shit, you can get even with people, you can complain, you can embarass your friend or loved one and then...
Success occurs and we (the anal retentive OCD-ers) are left with the cumpulsive drive of figuring it all out, realizing that wow you have to like learn some computer shit, like real templates and stuff. We sit at our computers, ripping our hair out, like FUCK, I just want to post a fucking picture in my profile, man- I've tried everything!! Instantly, a whole new respect for bloggers evolves!!!
If you're lucky, a little help from a professional comes along and shubang- there is a picture in your profile, thanks sweetie!
I mean blogging takes some technical skill.

It's Official....

2005-08-24T12:51:00.000-07:00

I have succummed to the pressure and now find myself....a blogger!
I will proudly share in all the ups, the downs, the posts and the comments (good or bad).
Why? (my peeps will undoubtedly ask)
Why angela, what made you do it?
Why now, why today?
Well my friends allow me to answer your questions, ridding you all of the riveting mystery from the get:
I don't have any fucking clue. It was quite simple actually...
I was sitting here reading my sweetie's blog (the mandawg), and my girl's blog (bigtanky) and for some reason, i lost total control of my right index finger as i saw it click on the blogger site's create a blog button. I don't think i really even thought about it, i just did it...thusly becoming- A Blogger.
I must include a discalimer here-
*** I am not a very interesting person, so this blog will most likely contain lame shit- but hey
don't hate the player, hate the game...
But really, don't hate the player, no matter how long it takes me to set my shit up!
