12 Year Olds Smoke?

I decided that I needed to fuel myself, so I put on my hoody, slipped on my shoes and headed out the door to walk down to the corner gas station and grab myself a Mountain Dew, and a Hershey’s Milk Chocolate with Almonds. Rounding the corner out of my apartment complex I happened to see that if I kept going at the speed I was currently at, I’d run right into two 12 year olds coming home from school (I’m assuming). And that’s just awkward. You know what I mean…when you’re suddenly on a sidewalk walking directly behind someone?

I just got compared to Bo Jackson. FTW!

Getting complimented always feels good. I mean, seriously, who doesn’t like having someone tell them they rule, or are pretty (yes, even men like to be called pretty even though none will ever admit it) or anything of that sort. But being compared to an all-star, or famous influential person…well. You’ve essentially just been given the Nobel Peace Prize of compliments.

For example:

Phil Villarreal: Are you a football fan?

Mikey: Yep. Eagles fan.

Phil Villarreal: Remember Bo Jackson?

Mikey: Yea.

Phil Villarreal: That’s what you’re doing. You are on one of Bo’s incredible runs.

Mikey: Hahaha. Let’s hope I can ride this shit as hard

Toilet Paper Personality Indicator - Part II

About four months ago, I wrote a blog entitled Toilet Paper Personality Indicator. Click the link to read the entry, and get caught up before you read the rest of this. Otherwise you’re going to read this, and be all like “WTFBBQ?”

Bleh. Chat lingo seriously makes no sense to me. It makes me dumbr.

See? (Intentional typo)

Sometimes I swear I have A.D.D., like for real. I seem to lose focus on things so quickly. So of course the sequel to the previous entry is long overdue, but here I am, so those of you (Lauren) who have been

2010 Grammy Review: Taylor Swift Chokes, again.

I’ll be honest. While I am a very avid music appreciator, I’m not normally one to focus on all the awards shows. It’s just never really been my thing, mainly because I never like any of the “main stream” artists who get put up for awards. I think they’re shoddy, over-produced and over-hyped. I wasn’t even planning on watching this years Grammys, but as circumstance would have it, I found myself with nothing else to be doing at that time, and the remote control about five feet too far away from me. So, I watched.

I came in a little

Site Design Shenanigans

Ok, so I just wanted to be able to use the word Shenanigans in a blog title. But in all seriousness, I’m sure some of you have noticed the smorgasbord of different themes, and designs I’ve been going through lately on this site. I think I’m honing in on something I like, and that’s easily changeable. For now, ignore the pretty raspberry bushes and other nature images that scroll through the header image…still working on creating something for up there, but I like the layout of this design.

It’ll probably change in a month. I’m super ADD, with pretty much anything

‘Till Death Do Us Part…no, but seriously.

Read This.

Read the the article above. Then proceed to let your jaw drop to the floor in amazement, as did mine. Seriously? A ban on divorce? I’m not exactly sure what anyone is thinking on this one. California is slowly becoming one of the worst states to live in. And what’s their governor doing about it?

Filming a new movie. Brilliant. I’m going to laugh when eventually the rest of the United States decide to just oust California from the country because of their stupidity. Am I alone in this mindset? Should I have some life changing, proverbial

How to be a broke-ass: Introduction

Picture this if you will. It’s Friday night, you’ve just gotten a paycheck from work. You’re overjoyed! You have money! The world is your oyster!! Then you realize that your check pretty much entirely goes to your cell phone bill, your utilities, rent, groceries for the week and and any other payments that you need to be making. Suddenly that joyous feeling has been trumped by a feeling of despair, as you’ve now got a measly hundred bucks left to your name to last you the next two weeks for food, gas, and “fun.”

Have I sufficiently depressed you enough?

So what

2010: I resolve to…

Once every three hundred and sixty five days we have a rebirth. A new beginning. A chance to re-evaluate our lives and make resolutions to change for the better. A new year.

Or do we?

Not to be cynical or anything, but isn’t January 1st just the beginning of a new month? And don’t we have a new month every thirty (or so) days? Hell, narrow that down just a bit further and you’ve got a new week. And we have one of those every seven days. Narrow that down even further, and you’ve got the beginning of a new day.

8 – The Mormon Proposition: Truth? Or Slander

A friend of mine posted this on his facebook today. It’s a trailer for an independent film that’s being released at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010, depicting the LDS involvement in California’s Proposition 8 this past year. Now, I’m sort of split down the middle on this entire thing. Not Prop 8 necessarily. I’m pretty much indifferent at this point. I have a lot of gay friends, and I would be completely fine with them being married, but at the same time I can understand the argument for keeping marriage what it was defined as in the constitution. A

Blogsite Updates

I’m sure no one has really noticed the updates to my blog recently, because, well – let’s face it – I haven’t blogged. I’ve been doing a lot of work behind the scenes trying to make this as user friendly as possible, so I can start reaching a wider target of readers, and ultimately have more fun!

You’ll notice some neat little gadgets around the site. A follow me tab on the left side of the screen, and then the ability to tweet, or share things on facebook. And then there’s a nifty little email box on the right hand
