blog time.

I had a few hectic days between posts!!
I went to Palm Springs for my Tia's funeral. On the way up we hit something and it caused the truck to keep stalling over the next 2 days, until my Dad fixed it. Thank God for intelligent and mechanically inclined parents. We stayed at a resort and spa while there, it was AMAZING. The pool immediately outside of our room had a bar but was full of people drinking and partying (weeee!!), but we had my sisters with us so we went down to the main pool which was empty. The main pool was INCREDIBLE though and I would have much rather been there anyways. One entire side was lined with those giant beds and pillows under ramadas (?). I'm not sure if I'm using the right word but they were covered individually and if you wanted you could pull the curtains down and have the beds to yourself for massages or whatever else. I want to book that place again with some friends and just go down and lay at the pool and sip champagne, or fruity mixed drinks. It would have been expensive to drink, considering a 3 egg omlete was 13.00 on the room service menu.
After we got home, I hung out with the family and then headed home to bed. The next day I was back at work. I however, had a massive headache so went home, took some advil and started season 1 of True Blood before turning in for the night.
I got invited to model for the Fetish Ball again this year!! October 10th at 8pm in Scottsdale. I go in for my fitting on October 5th. I'm excited this will be HOT! I am going in today or tomorrow to buy a black and green vinyl dress I fell in love with last week.
Have you seen this?

Barack Obama's amazingly consistent smile from Eric Spiegelman on Vimeo.

Tell me that isn't odd. His hand and body move, but his head and face stay almost exactly the same. Hmmm... practice that smile much Mr. President?

My thoughts on the matter...

On September 8th, President Barack Obama is planning on making an address geared toward children and education. According to the White House, this address is going to be made in order to promote “the importance of [students] taking responsibility for their education, [and to] challenging [sic] them to set goals and do everything they can to succeed.” Sounds great, right? Our LEADER, taking some initiative and addressing the nations youth. Someone is showing that they CARE about the children and is taking steps towards at least trying to talk to the youth and making them aware of the fact that we need to embrace and work towards our futures. Our OWN future. I think that somewhere along the way we have neglected to bring up the importance of education and hard work.
I found the link (from the White House twitter page, believe it or not), that goes over the speech that is prepared, and there isn't a thing wrong with it. I got on a chat site today and someone said something along the lines of, "Don't say SHIT to my kid!" Really?! You're getting pretty defensive about your kid. What the hell do you think the President is going to say? "Support me no matter what, join the army, disobey your parents and forget about thinking on your own?" We take for granted the fact that we have it so easy here in America. In other countries, say the wrong thing about your ruler and your entire family will be shot down. That, or you will be humiliated and killed. Does anyone remember learning about Kim Jong-il and the false stories he makes up about everything? If you don't remember you should look it up. Even do a google search for the story he tells about his birth. We have a lot to learn. Some people are extremely ignorant.
The leader is here to lead, whether we like it or not. He will make decisions that he believes are for the good of the country. He will also make decisions that may not make us happy, but will at least help the country, or Government (as a whole) out. You can think of it like a business because that is essentially what it is. He isn't going to hold your hand and tell you sugar coated stories to make you feel better about the country. He is going to do what he seems necessary and we have to accept that.
Now stop your bitching.
