Pussies, Vampires, Penguins; OH MY!

Veronica of Another Suburban Mom posted a something wonderful today titled, "Trolls and Internet Rules of the Road" due to a lot of the nastiness that's been going around on a lot of blogs lately. The video featured in her post is awesome, short and features the ever so awesome Phineas and Ferb. Yes, I like Phin and Ferb. My youngest brother was into the show and I used to watch it with him. While I still lived in California anyway. So, I haven't seen Phin and Ferb since around July but I digress. You should definitely go over to her blog and check out the post.

I was reading a blog post yesterday on a livejournal account that baffled me. The post has since been deleted so I can't reference anything from it so I'm just kind of going to go off what I remember. Natalia, my point isn't to piss you off but I just seriously don't get it. Basically, her post was about how disgusting vagina's are because of the "monthly bill that all women have to pay." Um, really? Sure, no one likes having to bleed every month. No one likes the cramps and other cons that come with having a period. Most women just don't dig having to bleed a few days (or more) a month. Sure, that part sucks but the rest of the time, you see nothing good about having a vagina? A vagina brings new life into the world. They stretch like whoa for it to happen and then go back down (mostly, from what I hear since I have no kids thus have no experience) to size. It might not be as tight as it once was after that but seriously, something that can stretch that way and then tighten back up? Awesome. Not to be gross, I also like being able to pee. I drink a lot of liquids through out the day and it feels good to let them back out, too. How awkward would peeing be if you didn't have your vagina? That's what I thought. Also, how do you not get pleasure from your vagina? Be it sex or masturbation, you can thank your vagina for providing those orgasms. You hate your vagina and find it disgusting just because you have to bleed monthly? That's fine if that's how you feel but I seriously just can't understand the logic behind it. I still fucking love mine. Seriously, dude. Thanks for being awesome and wonderful, vagina!

I posted this picture yesterday to my Twitter account but I wanted to post it on here too because it made me chuckle and I want to share. Sorry to all my readers who dig the Twilight series but it's no secret to most that I just don't get into them. I got quite a few comments on the picture once I posted it to Twitter but my favorite one?

number23_rob: Five... FIVE KNUCKLES... AH! HA! HA!


So for people who know me or that have read my blog for a while know that I love love love penguins. No, not the Pittsburgh Penguins (though, I do like a few of the dudes who play for that team. No, Sidney Crosby is NOT one of them.) but real penguins. They're one of my favorite animals and I've been fascinated by them since I was a little kiddo. I have a legion of plush penguins. This one is Mo. (Thanks to the Boyfriend for his assistance in getting this picture, lol.)

Ain't he cute?

Happy Tuesday!

Nothing else matters...

Thank you to everyone who commented on my blog post yesterday in regard to tolerance and acceptance. Whether you agreed or disagreed with my points, I appreciate the comments that I have received and the couple e-mails I have received as well. If you haven't checked out the blog post from yesterday, please do and feel free to share your thoughts and opinions.

Moving on. =)

This band has been one of my favorite bands for years. Before their awesome collaboration with sexy and talented Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil on "S.O.S." Or their song with Corey Taylor of Slipknot/Stonesour on "I'm Not Jesus" or even more recently, their song with Adam Gontier of Three Days Grace on "I Don't Care."

Their music is gorgeous. I can easily listen to them and drift off to sleep feeling relaxed and sometimes even peaceful. I feel like I'm absorbing the notes as they're played right into my mind and body and it just lulls me right to sleep. I also listen to them often when I've got a lot on my mind because I can just focus on the music and the beauty of what they play. I love metal and symphonic metal is one of my favorite subgenres. I love the pairing of classical music with hard rock. It's a beautiful thing. ;)

This song is one of my favorites. Not just by them but "Nothing Else Matters" is also one of my absolute favorite Metallica songs. So here is Apocalyptica.

Happy Tuesday!

Newness abounds.

The template you see currently is PROBABLY the template I'll be using for my new blog. Same background, same widgets, same tabs, etc. I'm trying it out here so see if anyone has a problem viewing it.

I don't know much HTML so it's taken a lot of tinkering and just educated guessing to get this much done, lol. I think it looks better than my former layout did. What do y'all think?

Also, if anyone who isn't in the dark with HTML wants to lend a chick a hand with some editing, don't by shy. =)

Happy Hallmark/Commercialism Day Valentines Day.
;)

I have to stop giving yall a hard time...

Next time the blogosphere and Twitterverse is full of people talking about all the snow they're dealing with, I will not good spiritedly poke fun of them and give them a hard time.

Apparently if I do that, the next day, what happens is this....



Granted, it's not as bad as what a lot of you cats are dealing with but still. This is fucking Dallas, Texas. We don't get all that much snow. So far the last few months, every time I've given someone up North a hard time about their snow issues... we end up getting snow here. I like snow, the cold doesn't bother me much because I don't spend much time outside but yeah. I don't own winter clothes honestly. The few long sleeved things I own are light weight and pretty useless when it hits those lovely below freezing down int he teens temps.

Though, I don't think this snow will be sticking around long. Which makes me happy because the roads are going to be a mess and people are crazy drivers enough on normal, pretty weather days, lol.

The Boyfriend decided he was going to build a snowman. So he did. He's 6'8" tall if that gives you an idea of the height of the snowman. ;)

Anyway. The Stars play tonight. We're playing Calgary. They hold the 8th place seat in the Western Conference with 67 points. Anaheim won last night which bumped them to 10th place and bumped us down to 11th. They're only ahead of us by 1 point though. If we win tonight against Calgary, we'll be back in 10th and over them by 1 point. Detroit is in 9th and they're tied with Anaheim with 65 points. I hope Detroit loses tonight so they maintain that 65, lol. Dallas is at 64 points so far this season. Calgary who holds 8th has 67. We have to freaking beat them tonight because then we'll only trail them by 1 point where as them winning just puts them 2 more points ahead of us. Which doesn't bode well for the Star's if they still want to try and make it to the freaking playoffs this year. Only the top 8 from each conference go forward. Despite Dallas not having the best season, thankfully neither have some other teams. Though, at least we're not the Edmonton Oilers with their snazzy 42 points. See Stars fans, that's something to be happy about. Sort of. ;)

I'm trying to find a template for the new blog. I can't find anything I like that's free that I can figure out how to make work, lol. Granted, I don't know much about doing that type of thing so it's not so easy for me but I'm trying to learn. If anyone knows a good place to get free (because I'm a broke ass bitch) blogger templates that look good, let me know please and thank you!

Happy Thursday!

Hey pimpin', what's yo name?

I haven't pimped some blogs in a while so I figured with my limited time to post today, I'd do that. I have about 20 minutes to post and then I have to get ready for work and head out for work. I'm really hating not having the internet working late at night. Totally fucks my posting, browsing, emailing and game playing right up. Buh. Anyway.

I just went through my list and plucked out some blogs that I really enjoy stopping by and reading. Blogs that if I don't see for a week, I'll spend time catching up on what I've missed when I finally do get to visit again. Some I've read for a long time, others not so long. Give these people a try (if you don't already) because well, they all pretty much rock. =o)

Have a great weekend yall!

Just like a circus...

First I want to encourage y'all to go read something and then go vote. Go to Mojo's blog and read this post. That post will take you here and PLEASE go vote in the most inspiring blog category for Violence UnSilenced. VU is an amazing blog giving survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault an avenue to speak out and more importantly, reach out to others. They offer help resources as well. It's a wonderful blog and it's been nominated for a most inspiring blog award. I think it totally deserves the nomination. Check out Mojo's post on the nomination and then go vote! Check out VU's website as well. It's worth all the effort it will take. Besides, it shouldn't take more than a couple minutes. =)

Anyway......

I take pretty quick showers. If I take a long shower, it's a 15 minute shower. I can't really stand staying in there much longer. Which is odd because I love being in water and I actually love taking a shower. It's almost like a sanctuary for me. I sing, I clean, I do some deep thinking. I relax and enjoy but I don't like being in there for all that long. I'm good with about 10 minutes usually. When I'm in hotels though, I take long ass showers. I'm talking 30 minute showers or longer. I have no idea why I like to take such long showers in hotels. It's not because I'm not paying for the water. I don't pay a water bill now. It's not because the shower or bathroom is all that much nicer than one I have at home. It's definitely not that the mini shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided by the hotel are better than the expensive, awesome products that I buy for myself. I really don't know why but get me in a hotel shower and I'll take way too long in there, mostly just standing under the water thinking and stretching.

I love the smell of fresh baked bread. I love the taste of fresh baked bread too. Fresh baked scones rock pretty hard too. Yum.

I found out the complex pools won't be open until the end of fucking June. Seriously. They have to drain them and have some work done on them and it will be end of June possibly before they can get them filled and open again. Now I have to find somewhere else to go swim. Grrr. Seriously, why did they not get the work done all Winter? Or hey, start it when Spring started? Why wait until the end of MAY to start getting the work done? Lame. Hehe.

Okay so I took like a hundred little quizzes on Blogthings because I was bored and haven't messed around on there forever. They're amusing enough and sometimes they're even accurate... ish. ;)

You Are Medium Maintenance

Like everyone else, you have some things you are particular about. You're not too annoying about it, and you're able to go with the flow most of the time. You've learned to stand your ground on what matters but also make compromises from time to time. You have good taste. Too bad not everyone shares it.

Are You High Maintenance?

You Are a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

You life your life in a free form, artistic style. You are incredibly creative and at times, quite messy. Deep down, you are a kid at heart. And you aren't afraid to express it. Your best friend: The Grilled Cheese Sandwich Your mortal enemy: The Club Sandwich

What Kind of Sandwich Are You?

For the next one, I tried to pick between the ones I liked the best but it came down to two and I just couldn't pick the one I liked better than the other, lol. So I picked both of them and this is what I got:

You Are Highly Spiritual

You may not have found the meaning of life, but you try to approach it with as much optimism as possible. You are always enthusiastic and grateful for every day you have. You are cheerful and energetic. You are a do-gooder who likes to keep busy. You are outgoing and carefree. You embrace life to the fullest.

The Watercolor Test

You Are Highly Authentic

You're as real as they come... and quite modest too. You are very self-assured, and you have a healthy amount of self-esteem. You feel confident that you can take on the world. You are have a great sense of humor, especially when it comes to laughing at yourself.

The Watercolor Test

This is kind of cool because the description works but I don't like this sundae at all. I've had two before. One when I was a little kid, hated it. Tried it again a few months ago, still hated it. Weird because I love most of what's in one but meh, I just don't like it all together, lol.

You Are a Banana Split

Fruity, flavorful, and diverse. Who can beat a true superstar?

What Kind of Sundae Are You?

You Are Champagne

Your holiday personality is celebratory. In other words, you love to drink! For you, the holidays are a time to let loose and enjoy yourself. You figure they only happen once a year, so why restrain yourself?

What Holiday Drink Are You?

Your Psyche is Red

You are bright, bold, energetic, and intense. Your upbeat, zany energy inspires those who are down. Spontaneous and playful, you also have a courageous and fearless side. When you are too red: you are angry, overprotective, and truly scary. When you don't have enough red: you are depleted and lifeless.

What Color Is Your Psyche?

Your Passion is Yellow

You're a total sexual shape shifter. You possess a complex sex drive and are very adaptable. Of all the colors, you are the most likely to be bisexual. While you the most passionate, you are also very open minded.

What Color Is Your Passion?

You Are Thick-Skinned

People may not always love you, but that's totally fine. You're happy with who you are, and you don't really crave outside approval. You love yourself, and that's the most important thing. You have high self esteem. And because you don't care what other people think, they tend to like you a lot!

Are You Thin Skinned or Thick Skinned?

You Are Bicycling

You are an energetic, driven person. You try to live a good life. You are industrious and determined. You happily and willingly do hard work. You are deeply philosophical. You are concerned with doing things the best way. You love freedom to explore and experiment. You don't like rules.

What Type of Transportation Are You?

You Are Raspberry Chocolate Lip Gloss

You tend to approach life as a fun game - being playful at every turn. You're a flirt with flair, and your the type most likely to surprise your date. But you're popularity doesn't stop with guys... you've got a great group of girlfriends too! You're fresh, aggressive, and more than a little sassy. The tangy taste of raspberry and watermelon goes great on your lips.

What Flavor Lip Gloss Are You?

Hey! Have you seen the rainman looking to the sky begging for sunlight?

Just because...I'm quiet, doesn't mean that I don't have a lot I want to say. I just don't always know how to say what I want. Other times, I know I'll only be wasting my breath or throwing gasoline onto a smoldering fire. Some things really are better left unsaid.

Just because....I'm sarcastic doesn't mean I can't handle being serious. I don't have to make light of everything and serious things don't tend to make me uncomfortable. Sarcasm is just a part of who I am. I have a quick wit and I'm more likely to come up with a sarcastic remark or something to make someone laugh over being serious.

Just u....I forgive, doesn't mean I forget. Forgiving is just me letting go of something I don't want to hold on to any longer. I let go because I don't want it having any power over me. I don't forget though.

Just because....I'm stubborn doesn't mean I always think I'm right.

Just because....I'm cynical doesn't mean I think everyone is lying all the time. I'm always skeptical and need to analyze things. I need to see to understand. Don't take it personally.

Just because....I don't wear my emotions on my sleeve doesn't mean I don't have any. I just don't show them easily.


I hate being late.

I love the smell of gasoline.

I love swords, daggers, crossbows, throwing stars, throwing knives, whips are other weapons. I wouldn't use them but collect, definitely. Weapons, especially of the medieval and martial arts variety, fascinate me.

I always look at deserted buildings and try to imagine what kind of things and people were there when it was still bustling and full of life.

I find most deserted buildings to be lovely in their own right.

Are you strolling by Hot Dads yet? It's a blog with an eclectic mix of dads posting about all kinds of entertaining stuff. Stories, opinions, bitching and all kinds of things. All from the man point of view. If you haven't dropped by there yet, you should. ;)

My Stars played Edmonton last night. We won! 4 to 2. I got to watch the game on the DVR after work. What a game. There was a LOT of hitting going on. I wanted to jump through the screen and smack some bitches a few times too! Whatever though, we won so there. =D My Stars play again on Saturday and IT'S AN EARLY GAME! I can actually watch it while it's on instead of watching it on the DVR hours later. Woohoo. GO STARS!

Today is PAYDAY! Woohoo! Payday is one of my favorite days of the week. Hopefully tonight at work goes smoothly. Much drama going on with a lot of the chicks at work. Some of it's aimed at me and LS too. I just try to ignore them. Fuck those bitches. Not literally but y'all know what I mean. ;)

I should be able to get a Saturday Survey up tomorrow. I didn't get to last weekend because of the crappy internet connection. Or lack of any connection actually, lol.

Happy Friday!!!!!

You were always where the sun could never go...

Boyfriend was talking here about how he was hoping he wouldn't have to work Wednesday because of the weather. Many places in Dallas decided the shut on down or just not open for the day because of all the ice. Boyfriend's job didn't take the day off however so he had to go in and get some work done. He's also not feeling well. I joked that he might be sick since he made 3 new blog posts 3 days in a row but apparently I wasn't really joking since he felt like shit all day. Ooops. I bitched at gently reminded him to get some medicine and take care of himself so he didn't get too sick and end up missing any work. Though I suppose a day off wouldn't be so bad. He makes salary so it's not like he would miss the hours. He also doesn't get a day off during the week anyway even though plenty of other people do. He does get Sunday off but EVERYONE gets Sunday off since that's the one day a week his job isn't even open. Oh well. He does well at his job and I'm proud of him for doing so well for himself. =)

I was reading around on some of my favorite blogs a little while ago. I've been doing some thinking the last couple days and okay yeah, so when am I not doing some thinking about something right? I read a couple posts on one of my favorite blogs a little bit ago that were personal and emotional. From reading them, I felt the emotion in the meaning behind the words on the screen. I also felt a little strange because sometimes, reading insightful things of personal and emotional matters makes me feel like I'm outside looking in on something that is so not my business. Though it's personal it's posted in a public forum so really, I am outside looking in but with an unspoken permission to view these thoughts and emotions. Some how in my reading, I gained some perspective. Nothing life changing. Nothing altering in a big way. Just a little clarity, a tiny bit, enough to give my mindset that little nudge it needed to go one way or another. Totally unintentional by the author and I wasn't even looking for anything. More so I was reading to keep my mind off things but I guess I just wasn't supposed to keep ignoring my thoughts on the particular subject. =)

"Black Rose" by Trapt



I love that song.
It makes me feel so sad.
I love it anyway. =)

Happy
Thursday! =)
