Currently, I am following 6 shows:
-LOST
-Gossip Girl, typical!
-One Tree Hill
-Heroes
-90210
-House, sporadically.
I've, actually, just started watching this show last week!
And it comes on often (reruns).

Watching shows online** is so convenient(!!!),
since the time slots for some of my shows overlap!

**Read the RED TEXT on top of page.
The little pop up has to stay open while you stream.

So... now what?!

have no idea what I want to study.
I want to study: English, Psychology, Philosophy.
Not good with math's and science's.
Visual learner**, i make great detailed lists and enjoy making them,
Fashion or jewelry design :D
but no (affordable) programs nearby... to my knowledge.

visual learners:

* take numerous detailed notes
* tend to sit in the front
* are usually neat and clean
* often close their eyes to visualize or remember something
* find something to watch if they are bored
* like to see what they are learning
* benefit from illustrations and presentations that use color
* are attracted to written or spoken language rich in imagery
* prefer stimuli to be isolated from auditory and kinesthetic distraction
* find passive surroundings ideal

To times past...

It's a scientifically proven fact that boredom results in blogging,
almost 99% of the time.
With that said, even though it's a bullshit statistic I just made up,
here's something I wrote a long time ago:

Love alone will not preserve us.
Time does not stop
Rewind
Or record.
Life will pass you by.
The first step towards happiness
is to figure out
WHAT you want!
You should always be working towards something.
If not,
time is being wasted
and wasted time can never be recovered.
As time does not stop,
Rewind
Or record.
Love is uncontrollable,
unexplainable
and, in a sense,
unattainable.
It is vital to us as human beings
but love is NOT perfect,
as we were lead to believe.
There is no fairy tale love,
but that's what we all want...
PERFECT love.
Well, the truth is:
marriages end,
relationships fall apart
and things dont always work out for the best.
As long as we all search for an unrealistic love,
we will all suffer through very real loneliness.

Incubus fans rejoice!

A Harvard education!? 12 albums and tours all over?!
Writing books, making art and putting songs together!?
Kilmore is the only one not wasting his time on petty things!
Perfecting the art of blunt.... very time worthy.

I happen to think...

...that Radiohead is the shit. And when I say shit... I mean musical geniuses! Really, how many bands are there that keep making great records, without repeating the same formula of their previous, successful records? Chili Peppers ARE good... but all the "new" music sounds like the old music. And the same is true for many other bands, e.g., Nickelback, Metallica, The Offspring. How many switch up their sound successfully? Linkin Park did it and I really tried to like it but, honestly, I liked about half of their newest album. And Chester's singing live now, is nothing like it used to be. Incubus is, another, good example of a band effortlessly and successfully changing up their sound. Anyway, today was a Radiohead day.

Admit it guys!
You all know at least one girl...maybe guy,
who just LOVES Johnny Depp. Right?
I can't tell you exactly what it is about him that is so appealing
to such a large amount of people.
Women, men, teens, adults, gays, lesbians, black, white, asian...
EVERYONE LOVES SOME JOHNNY DEPP!
From 21 Jump Street to Sweeney Todd, from a scientist's experiment
to a gyspy to a coke dealer to a crazy writer and a vengeful barber!
One thing has remained a constant truth: Johnny Depp is sexy.

Here is a tribute to the many years of Depp:

The infamous Captain Jack Sparrow:

OK, I'm done with that! Hope you enjoyed!

I came across this picture not too long ago. Seeing it made me laugh, also made me wonder. Obama has not hid his past marijuana and drug use from the media, or from any of us, and I respect that. What I don't understand is WHY he is AGAINST the de-criminalization of marijuana. I could go on and on about how this PLANT could save our economy, resources, tax dollars, etc. but I won't. It has all been said, repeatedly, and still we have departments using up billions of dollars, trying to figure out a resolution for the war on drugs and our economy and our environment and our pollution and our lack of jobs and on and on and on(!!!). Obama, we want change! The answer to all of life's problems is not smoking weed or drug use, I agree, but the answer to a lot of our nation's current problems COULD BE hemp!

Just asking...

Where is "there?"

No- really.

Where is there,

if once you arrive,

it is here?

Is pushing religion onto your children a form of child abuse?
Of course, there are different ways of viewing anything.
But, seriously, what if you are raising you're child to follow religion.
He doesn't know any better, he takes you at your word.
You tell him,
"Follow these 10 rules and you have to do this and that.
You don't have to, you have freedom of choice,
BUT if you don't obey, you will go to hell.
There you will live in anguish for eternity and there is no escape from hell!"
And he follows blindly.

Is it emotional or mental abuse on a child?
He is believing horrible things will happen if he doesn't comply,
so he does. Of course, there are those who actually will comply
without a second thought to it.

But what about the nonbelievers?
What do devout Christians, Catholics, Mormons, etc,
think about raising a child in a home absent of religion?
I am not an atheist, I do not bash people's choice of religion,
I will not try and sway you into my beliefs.
You believe in whatever lets you go through your day at peace.

I am agnostic and do not plan on raising my daughter
believing in something I, myself, am unsure about.
That is not to say that I will not support Laila,
if she chooses religion for her own life.

My point is that I will not force my beliefs onto my own daughter.
She is not something that I own.
My role in her life path is to facilitate learning, exploring and feeling.
It is to love her unconditionally, in her rights and her wrongs.
To show her the beauty and the reality in this world.
If, once she is older, she chooses a life of religion
or a god free spirituality,
then I accomplished my job and she chose for herself.

I read about this late last night. People are always talking about celebrities as if they really know them, when they don't. They don't know their everyday struggles and joys. We are only on the outside, looking in. I don't understand the obsession that some people feel for celebs. Thinking that everything in their life HAS to be shared with the public. However it happened, this is a tragedy and I hope for their privacy to be respected. Sixteen is far too young. No parent should ever have to bury their child.

I am getting ready to place an order from one of my favorite sites, E.L.F! Usually, it takes me a few days to 'perfect' my order. I make the rounds, go through all the eye make up... (then the lips, nails, tools) and add everything I want! Once on my list, I go through each and read reviews, check out color options, add and remove items accordingly. Then I update the quantities for each, look for promo codes (and E.L.F always has great promotions!) and check out! OH! Did I mention they always include a free gift and most of their items are only a dollar!! I know a few people who are skeptical to try such "cheap" make up but I am not one to pass up a chance at saving money! I have tried quite a few of their products and feel comfortable recommending their stuff.

Here are some of the items I really liked:

• ELF complete set of twelve brushes- I don't use all of them but got them just in case! Good quality for a dollar a piece! $12
  
• Mechanical eyelash curler- this is THE BEST lash curler I've ever used. REALLY! The shape is different where you insert your lashes or something but it works great! $1
• Brightening eye color in Nouveau Neutrals- light wash of color, add layers to increase color payoff. My daily natural look. $1
• Custom Eyes- I ordered golden glow (great gold tone, not too much!), Periwinkle (love it!!) and Dusk. Dusk is a good DARK gray color, too dark for my fair skin. $1
  
• Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara- I am in between on this one. Good: for shaping brows and getting rid of loose shadow from lashes. Bad: it doesn't dry!! $1
• Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter- I use fair and this is one of the best fair tones Ive used. Very creamy and love the highlighter. I actually use this all over, not just under my eyes. This is under the STUDIO makeup tab. $3
• Plumping Lip Glaze- Ruby Kiss! It doesn't really plump but I do love the color.
• Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Luminance- LOVE LOVE this! Light shimmer, no bronzing. Great all over!
  

And some I won't be buying again:

• Eye Makeup Remover Pads- this burns my eyes so much! Used twice and the rest were thrown out. I do have sensitive eyes, though.
  
• Therapeutic Conditioning Balm- after using this, my lips became very flaky.
• Duo Eye Shadow Cream- I ordered 3 different color duo's and wasn't happy with any. Maybe I need a better primer? Maybe I dont know how to apply cream properly?
• Eye Widener in Pearl White- in between on this one. It is hard to get the white to actually rub off onto my eye but when it does happen... they do look wider.
• Natural Radiance Blusher in Flushed- too bright!!! even when i use a very light hand, it is too pink!
• ELF tweezers- these are just too sharp for my eye area. I tweezed with these twice, and both times, drew blood.

ELF cosmetics
Also, I know my local grocery store has a very limited selection of ELF products, try out their store locator to save your shipping! But remember! they always have great promo's!

The new year crept up on me.

Kind of like this:



I have a few things planned out for this year.
