I suck at this blog thing...

Seriously. I am the worst blogger ever. BUT, I do have two good excuses.

#1: Finals. The time of year when you cram an entire semester's worth of reading into one week :) So, until they are over with, you will not be reading anything from me (and by you, I mean the two people who actually read this...hi mom!).

#2: I'm moving! Woohoo! In less than a month, I'll be living in an apartment with my girlfriend (as in best friends for 15 years, not lover), Genna, and her son Andrew. He is the cutest little guy in the entire world. Do not challenge the latter statement/fact (I've been known to cut a bitch).

Wish me luck ya'll!

I generally don't do these kinds of things. However, after seeing this on Oprah (go ahead and laugh), I felt the need to educate those around me. I'm not asking that you make a donation, I'm just asking that you take a look and see what awful (and that's worded mildly) things they are doing to dolphins in Japan. The nature of the videos aren't too graphic.

Tirade Tuesday

Attention Drivers on Ramah Ch. Rd.: Why is it necessary to make a left hand turn onto HWY 73 at 6pm? It isn't. Find another way around.

Today's Youth: Gentleman, do you really think you look attractive with your pants/shorts draping below your butt? You look like an idiot. Grow up and pull 'em up. Ladies, it is not appropriate to show everyone what color thong you decided to pull out of your panty drawer. Learn from Vicki- keep it a secret.

Dear boys, it is NOT okay to leave me gifts by my bedroom door. I DO NOT appreciate them. Keep it up and, one day, I'll try to return them.

To my fellow classmates: GET A FRIGGIN' DICTIONARY! Also, please return to 2nd grade for basic grammar lessons. Most of you are in your forties, there is NO excuse. And, for the woman who hails from Baltimore, you did not grow up a slave. You do not know what Alex Haley is talking about. More importantly, quit talking crap about southern white people. In fact, MOVE BACK TO BALTIMORE!

What's ticking you off?

Little Secrets of Happiness

The secret of happiness is keeping your heart open to others, and to life's experiences. For the heart is like the door of a building. The sunlight can enter only when the door is open wide.

Little Secrets of Happiness

The secret of happiness is smiling at others; comforting them when they're sad. For just as a candle shines more brightly in a room if the walls are white, so our happiness shines more brightly when reflected back to us in the smiles of others.

Top 3

So, a girlfriend of mine has a blog and it is absolutley hilarious (because she is absolutely hilarious :) ). Anyhoo, I read it whenever she has a new post and have decided to join her in the blogging world (wish me luck).

Who are your Top 3 "guilty" celebrity crushes?

#3: Matthew Gray Gubler. His character on Criminal Minds is completely intelligent, awkward, and so, so sexy. I doubt any of you will agree with me but, I've always had a thing for tall, thin men. I'd let him profile me any day.

#2: Mike Rowe. Ahhhh. I could just listen to him talk. His voice and rough, manly looks are extremely appealing. I love a man who's good with his hands :)

#1: Mark Wahlberg. And, no, not because of Boogie Nights. His Calvin Klein modeling days did it for me. I own every single one of his movies, and, while I'm not proud to say this, his book. Obsessive? No. In love? Yes.

Who are your top three guilty celeb crushes?

This week's life lessons.

#13: I take my work counterpart for granted. Trust me, never again.
#12: I've actually gotten used to no ac/heat.
#11: I've missed my girlfriends.
#10: I have A LOT to pack. Seriously. I had no idea I was a hoarder.
#9: Note to self: you need to clean your car more than once every six months. I'm pretty positive there was a science experiment growing under my driver's seat.
#8: At 21, it's not okay to want to stay in on a Saturday night and watch Criminal Minds...or any night of the week for that matter.
#7: More than five hours of sleep is needed to function properly. Plan your evening accordingly.
#6: While the cost of living in Charlotte is more than it is in Faith, I find it ridiculous that a homeless man would ask for $20.
#5: Thomas at Rock Bottom is the best waiter. If you go, ask for him.
#4: I need to cook more.
#3: Correction: I need to cook.
#2: Sometimes I give advice when I know nothing of the situation or have never been in the situation. I'm going to work on that.
#1: I enjoy children's movies more than any adult should.

Little Secrets of Happiness

Your happiness grows when you help other people. But, the less you try to help them, the more it shrivels and dries up. For happiness is like a plant: It must be watered daily with giving thoughts and actions.
