First up, something wonderful, because the last things are very, very disappointing. A couple of times, I have written previously about how I was really proud of athletes in the Olympics, specifically Michael Phelps, but there was one guy that I am beaming over even more. Matthew Mitcham is an Australian diver that took the [...]

Published by August 20th, 2008 in is it just me?, listen up!, music musings, music suggestion, show the love and venting. 4 CommentsWell, the inevitable has happened: The Fame has officially leaked onto the internet. I have been talking about Lady GaGa’s debut for months now, and have been touting it as my most anticipated release of 2008, so of COURSE, I had to get it. Now that I have had a few listens, I am going [...]
but they tied
Published by August 19th, 2008 in is it just me?, mixed media, tragic, venting and wtf?!. 8 CommentsLast night, I was watching some great women’s gymnastics when something happened that really kind of bothered me. I am all about sportsmanship and fairness when it comes to this thing, because it really is the only thing that the world can come together on and participate in and not fight over (and if they [...]

Published by August 13th, 2008 in happenings, hmm interesting, hotness, is it just me?, listen up!, politics, public health, venting, well? and wtf?!. 3 CommentsFirst up, how proud does it make you feel when you see people like Michael Phelps smashing world records and getting all of those gold medals!? I have to say, that it definitely makes me proud of him for what he has achieved. Also, I can’t seem to get past the bad mouthing that teams [...]

the wrong way to act take two: bitchy old queen of a bartender edition
Published by July 20th, 2008 in all about me, that is so gay, tragic, venting and wtf?!. 12 CommentsWhat happened last night can only be described as surreal. Trying to order a drink at a bar got me yelled at, to which I walked away from, and then the bartender came after me for more, which led to my ultimately leaving the bar. I think that what I wrote for my yelp review [...]
new york city: the trip, the story, the post that follows
Published by July 16th, 2008 in all about me, friends, happenings, mixed media, near and dear, photography, show the love, that is so gay and venting. 11 CommentsAs I mentioned in my previous two posts, we went to NYC for a little vacation, and despite a horrible 10+ hour delay in LaGuardia, we are back. Fun was had, sweat was shed, feet were hurt, subways were ridden, food was eaten, money was spent, and all of that made for some great stories [...]
delays and cancellations
Published by July 14th, 2008 in all about me, happenings, venting, well? and wtf?!. 3 CommentsFirst of all, our trip was amazing. We saw so much, and did even more.
However, it was almost ruined by the 11 hours of delays and cancellations we endured today as a result of a thunderstorm in ATL. We got to the airport around 1, and didn’t take off until after 11. Then, upon arrival [...]
the wrong way to act
Published by June 23rd, 2008 in friends, hmm interesting, is it just me?, venting and wtf?!. 8 CommentsI have been experiencing what seems like a big “fuck off” from customer service people lately. Perhaps it is because it is hot outside, or maybe something is in the water, but I feel like it has been happening more and more.
Specifically, places like the Kroger at Edgewood, the employees are consistently rude and flat [...]
what do you have against gay people, Katy Perry?
Published by June 9th, 2008 in civil rights, is it just me?, listen up!, that is so gay, tragic, venting, well? and wtf?!. 112 CommentsIf you don’t know who Katy Perry is, she is the chick that has made a hit out of kissing a girl (even though Jill Sobule did it many years ago, and unlike Perry, didn’t seem to have any issues with it) and then telling the world about it. As much as I wanted to [...]
