Miss California
I did a video monologue about Miss California , Carrie Prejean and her anti-gay marriage opinions earlier in the week, at the time I felt as though what she said wasn't that bad. I don't agree with her but this is America & everyone is entitled to their opinions. However, her recent statements during an interview have caused me to withdrawal my support for her.
She stated that she believes "being gay is a choice and that people are not born gay". Instead, she believes that being gay is "a behavior that develops over time."
Prejean also reveals that "the way that I was brought up, that was not an option" to be gay.
I have a lot of sympathy for people who struggle about "coming out" or even just accepting themselves because of their sexuality. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose friends and even family members or something as silly as who you are attracted too. I believe that people would NEVER choose a type of lifestyle that would cause you so much hardship and discrimination. I can't help my attraction to men and I don't believe homosexuals are any different. I feel so thankful to be blessed with parents and a family that would support me regardless of who I dated or loved and would only want me to be happy. I think that while it is okay not to support gay marriage for whatever reason, discrimination and ignorance are never acceptable. http://http://perezhilton.com/page/3/

Texts from last night
As a college student I've had my fair share of stupid, late night texts. My friends and I always have fun trying to decipher the meaning behind the late night texts that get sent to one another each weekend. I recently stumbled upon this website: http://http//www.textsfromlastnight.com/
It is hilarious! Now I've read some reports that these are fake but regardless, they are so funny! You can submit texts on the website.
Here are a few of my favorites:
(415): Trimmed my pubes and broke your paper shredder. Separate events.
(803): I hate my date so much right now for even thinking I want to do the electric slide.
(973): On a scale from 0 to 24...wait, 3 to 24, where 6 is the lowest and 12 is the highest, how freaking high re you right now?
(908): the vacuum is drunk
(703): what?
(908): i spilled my drink and tried to vacuum it and now the vacuum is drunk
(601): Are you drinking alone?
(662): no, i'm watching house
(601): That doesn't count
662): wtf, then i'm always alone
(832): I have the sudden urge to buy a Snuggie and wear it to the grocery store.
(512): just checked my call log and realized that we talked for 3 mns. what did i say for that long?
(1-512): pretty standard. you have fun last night?
(512): apparently....what exactly does 'pretty standard' mean?
(1-512): typical hot then cold, followed by a death threat.
(703): party is dying down. we just wrote whore in the yard with gas. Photos to come.
These are updated constantly so check it out!

Micheal Moore
I had the unfortunate assignment of having to watch Micheal Moore's Sicko. I am NOT a fan of Micheal Moore. And on the off chance that I even need to defend my hatred here ya go:
1.) He is uneducated. A college drop-out (who's reasoning to do so was because he couldn't find a parking spot one day) Not saying that there aren't plenty of very smart people who never went to college but he acts like the political authority on EVERYTHING.
2.) He is a sensationalist who likes to shock. It came to light during his movie Bowling for Columbine that much of his "facts" were made-up and used only to push his extremist views.
3.) He is a spin master. He takes his one-sided view and pushes it to the limit; editing and painting a picture in a way that you only see what he wants you to see.
The class I had to watch the film for was my Argumentation and Debate class. Our assignment was to watch the film and then write a paper about the fallacies and weak arguments that were made during it. Luckily, it is a Micheal Moore film so it was chock-full of both.
He uses a ridiculous number of emotional appeals. Shots of people crying, sad music, slow motion. An emotional appeal is the easiest argument to make. Take those "In the arms of angels" commericals for AACP. However effective they may be in the realm of true argumentation they hardly hold water. Maybe this is the English minor in me but the main thing that drove me nuts about his film was that he didn't cite ANY of his sources! Not once! He rattled off hundreds of "facts" and numbers and quotes but never showed you were they came from. Also, many of his video clips are edited like mad and take peoples actual quotes out of context in order to better support his argument. Ugh, if this hadn't been an assingment, I would have never watched that crap.

John Edward's Wife
Elizabeth Edwards is releasing a memoir entitled Resilience. And no one knows the meaning of that word better than her! She is finally coming out and talking about her husband's affair and her battle with cancer. She says that Edward's confessed his infidelity just days before announcing his presidential candidacy. Elizabeth stated that she thought it was wrong for him to run-Duh!!!
Your marriage is in the toilet and your wife (who you have just destroyed) has terminal cancer. Does that seem like good timing to run a stressful campaign for the Presidency of the United States? I think not.
John Edward's affair was with videographer Rielle Hunter who was documenting his journey. While Elizabeth stood silently by her husband and lent the air of "happy American family" to his campaign. The news of his affiar didn't hit the media until after his race ended. That is when the rumors started that he had fathered Hunter's one year old daughter. I can't imagine having to deal with trying to forgive the man who's dreams you've passionately supported, had children with and spent the last 20 years of your life with. Much less, trying to cope with that and the idea that you are dying;sooner rather than later.

The Cougar..
TV lands new reality show "The Cougar" will feature a forty year-old women dating younger men. Basically, old lady Bachelorette. Now, I understand that people fall in love with who they fall in love with but seeking out people extremely younger/older than you seems kind of sick. What if there was an older man who wanted to be set up with a bunch of 20-somethings?? People would pitch a fit! I just don't get it...obviously.
http://http://thedish.freedomblogging.com/2009/02/23/scottsdale-cougar-gets-tv-reality-show/4597/
Poor Hulk Hogan. I grew up watching the Hulk wrestle and even watched his family's reality tv show several years ago. Sadly, that family isn't together anymore. His crazy ex-wife is currently dating a 19 year old boy, a kid that was friends with her son!!! I can't begin to imagine the devastation that a divorce would cause, much less seeing your mom run around with your friend! In a recent statement Hulk said this:
I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like OJ, cutting everybody's throat. You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife . . . I totally understand OJ. I get it."
While this maybe a little harsh, at least he's being honest! Hulk is obviously going through a very tough time emotionally and sometimes when people are emotional they say things that you have to take with a grain of salt.

I love you man & Observe and Report (Spoiler Alerts!)
In the past week I have gone to both "I love you, man" & "Observe and Report." I love funny/dumb movies and was looking forward to the people who were in both films. I love Seth Rogen, Anna Farris, Jason Segel and Paul Rudd!
"I love you, man" was a comedy about a guy who has always had just girlfriends and has failed to make any male friends. He is sweet, responsible and kind of a push-over goody-two shoes when he meets a wild,crazy bachelor who lives an intriguing and exotic lifestyle. Hilarity ensues as they bond and Paul Rudd's character find out what it means to be "one of the guys." I really liked this movie. It was funny and cute. I hated Jason Segel in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" (I hated the movie too, but his nakedness pushed me over the edge) and he really redeemed himself here. Paul Rudd is always funny, even when he's playing the "straight man." Overall it was a good movie to see if you just want to laugh!!
"Observe and Report" is about a slightly mentally ill security officer in a mall who has a "hero" complex. He wants to be a police officer and is drunk with power in his security officer position. He has a crush on a women who works at the make-up counter, she is trashy and shallow. A streaker strikes the mall and he makes it his mission to bring the assaliat to justice. He does all this while trying to get the girl, get accepted into the Police Academy. Seth Rogen is generally funny but this movie had too many f-bombs for me. It went past trying to be funny and hit a point where it was just vulgar. The movie had potential to be funny but it quickly becomes dark and hard to follow. It takes a turn for the worse in the end where there is graphic violence and much male-frontal full nudity. I did not enjoy this film!!

Movie Violations
I love going to movies! It is definately one of my favorite past-times. But, I enjoy movies in a very specific way. I CANNOT deal with anyone talking, kicking the back of my chair, babies crying, etc. Now, I know that people like to make comments about what they are watching and that is fine because I like to do the same, but when you continually talk in a voice that is clearly above a whisper I'm going to feel the need to loudly announce how annoying you are. Also, you aren't at home and clearly I'm occupying the seat that your using to drum a little rhythm too. I usually deal with this announce by bouncing back against my chair to the rhythm your hitting me--fun huh!? Now as for tiny children, I understand that they are allowed to be brought to movies but the kind of movies I've seen small children at is completely ridiculous, Batman, Sweeney Todd, Knocked Up! I know that this is only because the parents are too lazy to find a sitter or actually think that their small child will enjoy the super-violence of Sweeney Todd but regardless, irresponsible and rude! MSN offer some insightful tips for dealing with annoying movie-goers!

Summer is fast approaching!
Summer is never an easy time for pasty folks like myself. While my friends frolic in shorts, the shortest I go is Capri's. Despite the teasing, I REFUSE to tan. The benefits do not outweigh the costs in this trade off! Wrinkles, cancer?? No thanks, I'll age gracefully :) But after buying a new bathing suit this weekend I decided that I didn't want to face another summer of being the cream next to my Oreo friends. In high school I was a cheerleader and often spray-tanned or used Jergen's gradual tanning lotion. Spray-tanning works great but its alot of work. You have to go get sprayed, wait to dry (which can take several hours) then not shower for about 12 hours. The tan solution has a distinct smell to it and your tan gradual darkens while you dry-it get DARK! Last summer when I did I became as dark as my little Native cousins...and they had been tanning! Luckily, when you get in the shower most of it rinses off leaving you with a very natural tan. But again, that is a whole day long process and with school, work and well..a life I just don't have time to do that all summer. The tan lasts about 2-4 weeks. While I've never had a problem I've had friends' tans become very splotchy near the end. It makes you look like you have a skin disease!! Anyway, After purchasing my swimsuit I became inspired to try some diffrent self tanners again. I looked online, reading many consumer websites about the best/worst. I decided to try Dove Glow. I really like Dove products, they work great on my sensitive skin. I went home and throughly exfoliated-tops of my feet, elbows, chest, arms, legs, everything! Then I applied the tanner. Unlike Jergens, this lotion smelled really good! Not at all like tanner. After only three days I noticed results! I'm not orange at all! The tops of my feet and toes look even and not at all streaky. Although self-tanner isn't fool proof (its a little tough to get an all-around tan like on your back.) I 'm a big fan of this stuff and will continue to use it through summer! http://http://www.dove.us/#/Products/lotion/EnergyGlow_Tanning.aspx/
Like Marilyn Monroe..
Marilyn Monroe is no doubt an icon for all things beautiful, glamorous but also, tragic. The drop-dead gorgeous actress lead a life full of loneliness, plagued by insecurities and finally, cut her own life tragically short. While I understand why people could admire her beauty and star power I have a hard time understanding why people would want to emulate her. Lindsay Lohan has often made references to herself and how "Marilyn Monroe"-esque she is.
Let's compare :
Marilyn Monroe-FULL-figured beauty
Lindsay Lohan-twiggy coke whore
Marilyn Monroe-Dated some of the hottest, most powerful men in the world
Lindsay Lohan-Dated a man-ish girl
Marilyn Monroe-Made now classic movies
Lindsay Lohan-Made now bargin bin flicks
Hardly similar.
Lets face it Lindsay Lohan is a hot-mess that is certain, but an iconic hot-mess? I think not. Recently dumped Lohan tattooed a quote from Monroe on her wrist that says; "Everyone's a star and deserves the right to twinkle." Honestly I think modeling yourself after someone who obviously suffered from severe depression and met such a tragic fate is just too sad.

Don't drink and drive!
What should have been a Cinderella story has a tragic ending. Rookie Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart was killed in a car accident just hours after making his first appearance at the pitchers mound, his father watching from the stands. Adenhart's car was struck by Andrew Thomas Gallo, 22, of Riverside. Preliminary results indicated Gallo's blood-alcohol level was "substantially over the legal limit" of .08 percent, police Lt. Kevin Hamilton said. Adenhart died in surgery following the accident. Henry Pearson of Manhattan Beach, a 25-year-old passenger in the car, and the driver, 20-year-old Courtney Stewart of Diamond Bar, were pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Gallo was booked into jail on three counts of murder, three counts of vehicular manslaughter, felony hit-and-run and driving under the influence of alcohol. No bail was set.

Safe South Dakota is a website with stats, stories and facts about drunk driving in South Dakota. They also have commercials from heart-broken parents who have lost their children to drunk driving accidents. My parents have always warned me about never drinking and driving and never getting in the car with someone who has been drinking. Although I knew they would never be happy if I called them early in the morning for a ride I knew they would have been even more upset if someone ELSE had to call them to tell that I had been in an accident because of drunk driving. I would hate to lose a friend or loved one to something as preventable as death via drunk driving.

Top Chef Spoof
We had so much fun shooting this video! I learned a lot about putting together a story line and using "special" effects such as speeding things up, that I felt added a lot to our video!
Enjoy!

Easter Bunny!
I love Easter!!! I love the pastel colors, baby ducks and bunnies. If I could, I would decorate my apartment in Easter decorations year-round. My room is filled with bunnies during this season, even an animatronic one that ears move as it sings a song called "I'm so hoppy." I also own a small purple chick that chirps when you pick it up. Immature? Maybe. But I love them and may "forget" to pack them up when Easter is done. Being surrounded by all these small, adorable animals may have gone to my head because lately I've been obsessed with animal thoughts! I've own pets my whole life. The kitty I got when I was four after I broke my arm, (My mom didn't immediately take me to the hospital and then felt guilt afterwards for spending an hour telling me to "shake it off.") and my puppy that we've had for about nine years now are considered part of the family. They even get Christmas presents! My dog is so conviced he's a child in our family that he whines, cries and throws tantrums when my little brother or I sit next to our paretns on the couch. Living in an apartment has seriously impeded my need for animal companionship. We (unsuccessfully) owned a Betta fish for 2 weeks-R.I.P. Eunice. But I want something that can actually interact with! I've spent the last several days googling small pets and found this! http://http://www.clickorlando.com/news/3547722/detail.html
Definitely not a SMALL pet! But imagine the size of the Easter baskets he could carry!!
P.S.-My roomates and I have decided on small, aquarium turtles...hopefully they will fare better than Eunice..

Honestly apparently NOT the best policy..
Cosmo magazine has long been revered as every women "bible." But apparently Cosmo is steering a generation of young women down a dis-honest path. A recent article featured in the mag was titled "You cheated on Him...Now What?" http://http://lifestyle.msn.com/relationships/articlecosmo.aspx?cp-documentid=18918422>1=32023
I was thinking the article would be about how to come clean about your shady behavior and possible restore the relationship. Boy was I wrong! The first bulleted point on the article is "Don't blab." Meaning...don't tell!! "Your mother may have told you that honesty is the best policy, but in this case, many experts advise keeping your mouth shut. "If it really was just one indiscretion, don't tell him," says Weiner. "Although it might make you feel better, it will only hurt him and ruin the trust between you." Even if the guilt is killing you, let it be your burden to bear. And don't tell other people either or you increase the possibility of his finding out."
I always thought that if someone where to step-out the relationship even ONE time the "right thing" to do is to come clean. It scares me to think about all the women taking this advice and being unfaithful, dishonest cheater-cheater-pumpkin-eaters!!
Another amusing article I discovered was 12 of the most amusing excuses for being late for work!
Here are 12 of the most outrageous excuses employees have heard for being late to work:
1. My heat was shut off so I had to stay home to keep my snake warm.
2. My husband thinks it's funny to hide my car keys before he goes to work.
3. I walked into a spider web on the way out the door and couldn't find the spider, so I had to go inside and shower again.
4. I got locked in my trunk by my son.
5. My left turn signal was out so I had to make all right turns to get to work.
6. A gurney fell out of an ambulance and delayed traffic.
7. I was attacked by a raccoon and had to stop by the hospital to make sure it wasn't rabid.
8. I feel like I'm in everyone's way if I show up on time.
9. My father didn't wake me up.
10. A groundhog bit my bike tire and made it flat.
11. My driveway washed away in the rain last night.
12. I had to go to bingo.

Post Secret
I 1st saw Post Secret on the All-American Reject's video "Dirty little secert" I thought the "secrets" that people posted really interesting! So I looked it up online and this is what I found!
http://http//postsecret.blogspot.com/ Some of them are depressing and sad, some of them are empowering and some are really funny!! Its a little rush taking a peek into peoples most secretive and private thoughts! PostSecret is an ongoing commuity mail art project, created by Frank Warren, in which people mail their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard.The simple concept of the project was that completely anonymous people decorate a postcard and portray a secret that they had never previously revealed. No restrictions are made on the content of the secret; only that it must be completely truthful and must never have been spoken before. Entries range from admissions of sexual misconduct and criminal activity to confessions of secret desires, embarrassing habits, hopes and dreams. Select secrets are then posted on the PostSecret website, or used for PostSecret's books or museum exhibits. Launched in October 2007, PostSecret has displayed 2,500 original pieces of artwork. Five books full of "secrets" has been published. Frank Warren said he publishes one of his own secrets in every book.

Autism Speaks!
Autism is a subject that hits home for me. My youngest brother was diagnosed with autism when he was two. My parents took him to the doctor at about one and a half because they were concerned because he was completely non-verbal. Not only did he never attempt to speak but he didn't babble or coo just to hear his own voice like most babies. At first, we feared he was deaf or hard of hearing, we were all taught sign language and until Jake was about four, used it entirely to communicate. As he grew developmentally we noticed he wasn't deaf it was something different..he would gather like colored toys, he was incredibly picky about food textures and clothing. He was autistic. Little brothers are annoying enough but babysitting your three-year old, non-verbal little brother who would randomly have intense fits from the frusteration of you two not being able to understand each other was NOT fun! Luckily, he is 12 now and just has Auspergers, not full-blow Autism. I remember my mom crying alot and talking about how "guilty" she felt. At the time, there was no way of knowing how severe Jake's case was or how he would fair out in the real world. My mom did lots of research and as Jake grew kept our whole family on all-organic diets. Nothing that contained preservatives would be kept in the house. She enrolled Jake into every sport she could every season. And these things really did help! He slowly became more and more intergrated into classrooms with other kids his age and got better at communicating his feelings. Jake's big thing is mimicking. Anything he watches he mimicks. He went through a professional wrestling phase and jumped off every surface in our house, after he watched Toy Story for the first time he broke his screen and threw all his toys out the window to see if they would fly to protect themselves from hitting the ground. When he came to watch me in Capers he FREAKED OUT when the "Joker" walked down the aisle because he thought the Joker had died...I had to spend twenty-minutes explaining to the kid why a 12 year-old boy cried and grabbed at him. I am well aware what Autisim is and how it can effect an entire family. But I'm totally against Jenny McCarthy's "Austism Cure." There is absolutely NO scientific link that they can find between Autism and vaccines. And I don't believe Autistim can be cured. I believe it can be maintained and understood but I don't believe that you can be "cured" of it. I've watched my brother go from not being able to speak to being able to spend the majority of his day in a classroom with kids his age! He was voted onto Student Council and was on the Honor Roll. Does this mean he doesn't have Autisim anymore? No, it means we have given him the tools to help manage it. Just because she is a celebrity with an Autistic son doesn't mean she understands the disease enought to counsel a nation on how to deal with it. She is ridiculous.

Sham-POW!
The most obnoxious spokesman in the ENTIRE world is under arrest for beating up a hooker in Southern California. He claims that she bit down on his tongue and would not release it so he punched her several times. The mug-shots of both look terrible! Not that he had a great mug to begin with...http://http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0327092sham1.html
Shanna Moakler, a former Miss America and Travis Barker, a drummer have reportedly split again after rumors that Shanna cheated on Travis while he was in the hospital recovering from the serious plane crash that took two of his close friends lives. They had a reality tv show several years ago when they were stilled married call "Meet the Barkers." I thought that they were very passionate about each other but Shanna would spend ALL day in bed! Travis supported the family and did the majority of the household running and child rearing while Shanna laid in bed watching tv.
