WEEKEND PLANS

Tomorrow I am leaving for the weekend to spend some time with a few of the women I met in June during my trip to the Women’s Leadership Institute. We’re not going to do anything responsible. We are going to be hanging out in a crowded hotel room, having some drinks, laughing and being ridiculous. Plus we’re going to talk. We like to talk. We may even play truth or dare or something along those lines because basically this is one giant sleepover. I’m totally not warning anyone that I snore.

SCHOOL UPDATE

So my adviser hunted me down and forced me to talk about school. It’s something I really haven’t wanted to discuss with anyone and I have been feeling really overwhelmed and hopeless about. We decided to up my schedule a little this semester and get me on a payment plan. She also assured me that while my math class doesn’t count towards graduation credits it does count towards financial aid credits.

She further assessed that it’s just not worth me taking on a third 3 credit class in order to get my financial aid back in place when a one credit course would work and save me a bunch of money. Plus I need to take a phys ed anyway.

My new schedule is:

• Intro to Communications Studies - MWF - 9:00am to 10:00am
• Dance 1 - MW - 11:30am - 12:45pm (Starting next quarter)
• Intermediate Algebra - MW - 3:00pm to 5:15pm

I do feel a lot better. This isn’t what I had hoped for right now, but it’s enough. Slowly, but surely I will keep getting there. I just have to be patient.

My math class is a Pass/Fail class so we have tests every week. We have to get at least a 75% on all tests to be allowed to take the final. We have to get a least a 75% on the final in order to pass the class. A little bit intense, no? We’re allowed to retake class tests until we get a passing grade, but that is still a lot of pressure. Plus it sucks knowing that I could pass all the class tests, but if I fail the final I still fail the class.

I guess I have to keep my game face on and really strive to get the best grades possible at all time. Which I sort of do anyway…

NON BLOGGERS JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND US

Me: Yeah…I’m really interested to see what our eBay auctions are at today. I left my computer at work so I would be more productive at home last night and not knowing what they are at is killing me.
Kasey: A whole night without your computer? I bet you were ready to malfunction.
Me: I was just fine! I’m only saying that I like to keep an eye on the auctions in case people have questions or whatever.
Kasey: Yeah, okay. [at this point she pretends to be a malfunctioning robot] Must update Twitter, check email, blog reader, ebay, email,Twitter…Must tell people what I am doing at all times. No one knows what I am doing right at this exact moment. Oh my god. Malfunction. Malfunction!
Me: You think you’re so funny.

From time to time people ask me for relationship advice. I sort of find this insane usually. I mean my last relationship sort of crashed and burned to the ground and that makes me feel VERY unqualified to give any sort of advice on relationships. People should be giving me advice, in my opinion. Then they bring up the point that my last relationship, even as bad as it was at times, made it to six and a half years and my current one just passed the one year mark so I must be doing something right.

I got to thinking about that. Is it really me doing something right? I don’t know. There are some things that I make sure to do especially in this new relationship to try to keep things fresh and the romance alive. It’s just what works for me. I think everyone has to find what works best in their own situation. In any case, I bring you this list of my favorite relationship advice.

1. Take all relationship advice with a grain of salt. This sort of echoes what I wrote above, but it bears repeating. What might work perfectly for one couple may turn weird and awkward in your own. I enjoy reading relationship articles and I would say about 85% of the time I find the advice to be complete crap. Especially if that advice is found in Redbook. (For instance, I recently read an article on sweet little things you can do to show your significant other that you care. One of the tips was sneak onto “his” computer and change “his” screen saver to a picture of you. That might be sweet to someone, but in most cases I think it would be taken as creepy, narcissistic and it lacks respect for the others privacy.)

2. Do the little things that show you care. Last night I had to pick Kasey up at work at 9:00 pm. She seemed stressed and tired when I talked to her on the phone earlier so I wanted to something special for her. So I called her favorite restaurant an hour before she was done working and ordered her BBQ wings to go. I had to drive a half hour to pick them up and a half hour back, but when I told her I had gotten her dinner she seemed so touched it was supremely worth it. It cost about $10 for the wings and fries and $5 for the gas, but meant so much to her. It’s hard to remember to do something everyday, but I think doing something nice at least 3 times a week is a great start.

3. Be an individual and have your own interests. Sure Kasey thinks me making 1000 paper cranes is insane, but she enjoys telling people I’m into origami and talking to me about it. Would she ever eat eel? Probably not. However, she is always more than willing to pick me up some sushi and she loves that I am adventurous with foods. I could also go into rants about feminism and how I hate it when women walk all over rights other women fought for and she’ll nod and listen. On the other hand I find it really sexy how much she loves music and how she plays the drums and the piano. We don’t like the same movies all the time, but few things are cuter than her telling me all about some trailer she saw for some new action movie. Oh and the reading. How hot is a butch that can read for hours? I love that! I don’t want to be with someone just like me and I don’t think anyone would.

4. Have sex. Sex is one of those topics I am unbelievably open about conversationally, but I keep it to a whisper here. I’m not unlike a gay man with my sexual desires so I try to keep that to myself online as much as possible. In any case, I think it’s very important to the well being of a relationship to have consistent sex. I’m currently not sure myself how consistent that should be. I guess it’s something you should figure out for yourself, but in any relationship I think you shouldn’t let anymore than two months pass without having sex with each other. It helps keep that bond alive and makes you feel closer. Even better is if you can agree on new sexual situations that you both want to explore. That will make the bond even deeper. (Though exploring something your not comfortable with will have the adverse effects.) I have been trying to keep the love alive so to speak about twice a week, but I’m not sure if this is too much or not. Personally, I’m one of those people who thinks it could never be too much. (TMI?)

5. Speak up for yourself. This is probably the one I am worst at. Sometimes it is hard to be assertive and tell the other one when you are ticked off. To keep a relationship functioning properly it’s really important to bring it up when something is ticking you off. Do it in a productive way, though. Don’t just freak out about something and start yelling. Bring it up calmly and tell them what is bothering you.

6. Be uplifting. Maybe your partner has big dreams. Whats wrong with a little ambition? As long as they aren’t letting it rule their lives they will feel really good about you supporting them. It’s also important to compliment their good points. Did they wash the dishes, clean up after the pets, remember to call you? Let them know how much you appreciate that. What about their appearance? New haircut? Wearing a nice outfit? Tell them! Everyone likes getting complimented, your partner included.

7. Don’t try to get them to be someone their not. If the person you are with drinks a lot of beer and watches sports daily don’t get committed to them thinking they will change. Maybe they will, but more then likely that is just part of who they are. If you can’t deal with that then they probably aren’t for you. This brings me to my next point…

8. Know when to call it quits. This is a big one. It’s also hard. Sometimes it just isn’t working out and as hard as you try it’s just not going to work. You can drag it out and both be miserable or you can go your separate ways and find someone who is better for you. This might make you miserable for a while to, but no one should compromise themselves or who they are for someone else.

9. Be comfortable around the other person. You know that commercial where the woman promises never to wear a flannel nightgown? I hate that commercial. If you can’t handle the thought of your future partner in a flannel nightgown you can’t handle marriage. I will certainly be sleeping in comfortable pajamas. I will walk around the house in sweatpants. You know what? It certainly makes them take notice when the sexy lingerie comes out. You should be able to be yourself around your spouse. Myself wears sweats at home and talks about how much my vagina hurts when I have my period.

10. Touch is important. I read once that the average American couple only touches twice a day including sex. That really surprised me. I think touch is so important. It is comforting and will bring you and your partner closer. Add in little bits of touch to your day. Perhaps a massage before bed? Stroking their face? Rubbing their head? It all makes a big difference in how close the two of you feel.

11. Does your face light up? Sometimes Oprah may seem full of crap, but some of her advice has really impacted my life. She was once talking about how it’s important when looking at children for your face to light up when you see them or when they walk in the room. It shows that you love them, care about them and are happy to see them. It’s great advice that I think has a huge impact. I think it’s great to use it with your significant other too. Does your face show them how happy you are to see them?

12. A kiss goodbye and a friendly greeting make all the difference. It takes so little time to kiss your partner goodbye, but many times it’s overlooked. It’s a little thing that really means a lot. Also when reuniting after a day apart take a little time to reconnect. How was your day? It’s so lovely to see you. Again the little things that mean a lot. I hear you. I see you. I love you.

13. Find new things to experience with each other. Whether it’s going to a new town together, trying a new restaurant or taking a class together to learn something new it’s fun and exciting to try something new with your partner. It gives you more to talk about and maybe you both love it and maybe you don’t, but it’s important to switch up the routine sometimes.

I think that’s all I have for now. Perhaps I’ll update when I think of more.

What do you guys think? What is some of your best relationship advice?

I am a commitment person. Now as far as being legally married I don’t really care. Paper or no paper if I take a vow to someone I consider that to be binding. Even though if it should end there is no legal divorce to go through the process is still by no means an easy one.

I feel more at ease when I have someone with me. I feel more at ease when I am living with someone. This seems strange to many people. I hear people talk about needing there space and hating having the other person around all the time. I feel better when someone else has their things mixed in mine. I feel better when there is someone else’s laundry mixed with mine. Feeling someone’s back against mine while we sleep. I like being able to have someone help me figure out where to eat dinner, what movie to see, where to go and what to do. I appreciate the help doing things I don’t care to do like cooking and dishes. I enjoy late night talks and other late night activities. I love having someone to go with me places where I hate being alone like the doctor and the store. I find it helpful to have someone point out the other side of a situation. I appreciate having my morals kept in check.

It’s hard to compile a list of things I don’t like about being in a long-term relationship. I guess I could say always feeling nervous about going to the bathroom because I am a freak like that. Also perhaps not being able to just watch the movies I want to watch when I want to watch them. At least while sharing an 8×10 living space. I could also say arguing, but lately I am learning to appreciate arguments as an opportunity to say how I am feeling and understand how my actions are affecting the other person.

I was never the girl fantasizing about getting married. I used to fantasize about being a teen mother and raising my child alone. (Seriously.) When my ex and I talked about having a ceremony those two times I enjoyed briefly thinking about what I might wear and flowers. Where and when. Still I never thought it would ever happen and so I didn’t get too into the thought. I never dreamed about it. I never pined for certain colors or where we would honeymoon.

That is starting to change in me. I still don’t believe weddings should be so expensive. I can’t imagine spending $10,000 + on a party when I could use that money for a home, furnishings for that home and a romantic getaway. I would be thrilled to have a wedding that costs $500.

Still…there are those wedding thoughts. Thoughts I have never really had before.

I enjoy thinking about sharing a house and going off to work and coming home to the same person.

I do worry that all these thoughts are too much. That you really can’t be sure of any feelings so soon. Then again you can spend almost 7 years with a person and still not be sure. I think sometimes you just need to take a chance.

Don’t get me wrong. I am far from engaged. Who knows if that will ever happen. I am just thinking thoughts that are new for me and I needed to let them exit my mind.
At the same time I am also thinking this might be it for me. This new relationship I am in is such a whirlwind romance. If it ended I don’t know how I would handle another relationship. I think I would hate romance after this. Right now it feels very real and very wonderful and if something happens I worry it would ruin my views of love. On the marriage front…let’s imagine Kasey and I stay together for maybe 4 years before ending it and we’ve gotten married in that time. Am I prepared for the possibility that I could be 27 years old and twice divorced? I don’t know. I don’t know if I would want to get married again.

I remember saying once when I was around 13 that I would never get married, but if I did end up getting married I would probably get married and divorced several times. I was always amused by that, but I hope that isn’t the case. Then again maybe I would enjoy that sort of life.

I can’t imagine myself being alone. I’m scared that I will have had my two great loves early on and then have a hard time being able to love someone after that.

I’m so pessimistic to be worrying about the possibility of divorce before I should even be thinking about engagement. I’ll stop myself now. Just some stuff I needed to let go of.

Thanks for listening to me.

What’s up y’all? It’s Kasey. I’m on my day off from my job. I’m a cook at this Private Community Center and I stand pretty much all day so my legs always ache afterwards. But here’s the thing, it’s a good kind of pain. And not cus I’m into S&M(don’t even let your minds go there, I know some of y’all are a little freaky) but because I wasn’t working for a few months. So, I’m willingly dealing with some sore feet for that dough. I mean, I’m a hustla you know? I’m working long hours for that cheddar. (Special note: dough and cheddar both mean money. Just trying to help you out.)

Of course, I had my little routine when I wasn’t working. I would wake up, watch Angela go out the door, feel a little guilty until I remembered something: The Nanny was on! Yes, of course I know the tv schedule, I’m unemployed! Thank you syndication. So, the Nanny came on at 8:30, Golden Girls at 9 and 9:30(oh that Sofia cracks me up), possibly a nap and back downstairs for Scooby-Doo at 12 and 12:30.  And in between that a mixture of house shows, reruns and movies. Ooh, can’t forget the Price is Right. Classic! Though Drew Carey’s not as good as the Bob, but who is? Though I never wish unemployment on anyone, if you find yourself at home on a weekday, there are some shows you need to watch.

1. The Nanny - A street-wise nanny shakes up the lives of her stuffy English employer and his kids? Has anything sounded better?!

2. The Golden Girls - Easily on my top ten list of shows. The laughs, the drama. The old ladies!

3. The Price is Right - Here’s the thing. It might be 2008 out here, but the prizes in the Price is Right are stuck in the 1980’s. And the best thing is watching the contestants reactions when they bring out the item to bid on. “And now, the next item to bid. A humongous Wall Clock that will take up an entire wall in your house!” And cue the reaction. Priceless.

4. Clean House - This show comes on the Style Network and it is a-mazing! Basically this crew goes into people’s houses where they have let the clutter go a little crazy and clean it up.

What do you guys like to watch on your day off? I’m always up for new suggestions. So let’s see. New music? Three new songs for you: Spotlight by Jennifer Hudson, Say(All I Need) by One Republic and my new obsession, Untouched by the Veronicas. Listen and love it!

I guess that’s it. I’ve taken up too much time already. Though I’m excited about all the comments you guys are leaving for my girl. She’s super excited. If you like me enough, I’ll try to come back. Just give me something to talk about cus I need ideas.

As always, peace, love and happiness. Holla at your girl.

Kasey,

Happy one year anniversary! Can you believe it has been a year already? Where has the time gone? It feels like just a few months ago I was silently freaking out to myself about how I couldn’t possibly be falling for someone so soon. We both agreed that it couldn’t have come at a worse time and there was a lot of talk about how we didn’t want this to be a rebound relationship. I think we make our own rules. There is nothing rebound about our love. It is different from anything I have ever experienced before. I feel like I can finally breath.

Philadelphia - July 2007

I love how much we can joke around with each other. You doing that chicken pecking dance while I do the throwing out the feed dance? You doing your Australian accent while doing your Lesbian Hunter bit? They make my days brighter. In fact, everything about this year has made my world seem brighter. It has, in fact, been the best year of my life so far. I can’t wait to see what next year brings.

Seaside Heights, NJ - August 2007

Atlantic City, NJ - September 2007

I remember last year when you took me to Philadelphia for my birthday and I just couldn’t believe you had put so much thought into it. When you looked into my eyes at Buddakan and we made our relationship official, my heart skipped a beat as it has done many times since then.

Maple Shade, NJ - New Years Eve 2007

There are moments when I wake up in the morning and curl into you and you smile in your sleep and pull me closer that make me feel like this is really what life is supposed to be like. I have always wanted a house to call my own. I have always wanted children. However, in those moments I feel like I could spend my life in a tiny apartment with you and it would feel complete.

Philadelphia - February 2008

Philadelphia - March 2008

May 2008

The times that I feel your love for me most is those times when my anxiety starts to get the best of me. I’ll feel panicked in a store or things will start to be a little too crowded and you take my hand, you make me safe. During our fights when I stop being able to reason and I become overcome with emotion you steady me. You hold me when I cry and never seem tired of it. You wait for me to realize it when I am acting crazy and you are always willing to talk things through with me. Your calmness is catching and I always feel myself relaxing about things around you.

Atlantic City, NJ - June 2008

There might be shows you enjoy that I just don’t understand, such as The Nanny, Avatar and Chuck. However, I know you aren’t crazy about Grey’s Anatomy or Project Runway, but you are right there watching them with me and always ready to tell me what you think.

New York City - June 2008

I could go on and on. Sure you might make me crazy sometimes, but I think I do that to you far more often. You have opened my eyes to so many things and whether we are staying in a suite in Philadelphia or a bad room in Seaside Heights I treasure every moment we spend together. Whenever we are together I feel like I am home.

Philadelphia - July 2008

I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Love,

Angela

• A Surprise date night.
• Getting Greeted after work with simple flowers and a handmade card.
• Meal at our favorite restaurant (even if it’s as simple wings and fries).
• A drive to a scenic overlook and really taking in the nature around me.
• Eating ice cream and watching Grey’s Anatomy with my love.
• A glass of wine and making love.
• Feeling like we are the only two people in the world.

Am I the only one that finds myself getting into ridiculous spats with my significant other?

Current topic: Shaving.

See, I am one of those nutty feminists that think women should have equal rights. Now I am pretty basic in this. I feel that almost every single woman* is a feminist whether she knows it or not, or even likes it or not. (for example: Wearing pants? You’re a feminist! Went to college? Yes, you too!) This isn’t a rant and you don’t have to agree with me.

*HISTORY ALERT* So, yes. I believe that shaving is something pushed on women. I feel like their is enough societal pressure that even if a woman wanted to stop shaving she would be pretty shamed. This stems back to the early 1900s when Gillette came out with the first truly disposable razor and needed to drum up a consistent business. Through advertisements and media they set out to prove to American women that body hair was not only unattractive it was unfeminine. While hair removal for men and women has been around almost as long as men and women themselves it wasn’t considered a necessity or a gender specific practice until that time period.

Do I have a problem with the practice of shaving knowing this? Yes, I do. Do I still shave? Yes. Listen, I shave when I feel like it and when I know my legs and arm pits will be on display. I keep my lady areas in tact, however due to me just feeling like a bare pubic area on a grown woman is seriously creepy.** I just love the way my legs feel when they are smooth!

My point is that one day Kasey and I were talking about this and she mentioned she wouldn’t like it if I had hairy legs and wouldn’t feel the same way about me. Now, I am not about to ever stop shaving my legs, but I was still offended by this. I picked a fight about this and lamented my crazy feminist points about the practices pushed onto women using scare tactics. Excellent! I really recommend all of you pick fights with your significant others about issues that don’t pertain to you. I mean because if those issues did pertain to you wouldn’t you be so mad?

After we discussed this point Kasey became offended that I would suggest she wouldn’t still love me if I had hairy legs and arm pits so now she doesn’t want me to shave anymore! I don’t think this is a very good idea. The last time I shaved was June 26th while at camp. I don’t think this is a very good idea. So much so that I declare it twice.

I mean, we haven’t even been together a year yet. Do we really need to test the strength of our love by letting my hair grow? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

Me and my inane powers of feminist argument. I always get myself into these messes. I think I should just secretly shave while she is at work*** tonight. What do you guys think?

In honor of yesterdays post and because I just love you all so much and I’m all for embarrassing myself on my blog I took pictures! I know, you’re probably so glad you picked today to read me.

See they look pretty normal from here don’t they?

LOOK CLOSER!

Oh no! The beginnings of a leg hair forest!

What about my arm pits, you ask?

I’m not showing you!

Wait a second…you look sort of happy about not seeing them.

Forget that! If me and every other customer who sees me raise my arm when they come in to get a key copied have to see them then so do you!

I’m hanging my head in shame.

Not that I think I should HAVE to shave them though….except for that I don’t really like to have body hair….and it’s kind of itchy and scratchy. Oh forget this whole thing!

Really though I would LOVE to know if any of you have gotten into a semi heated (or even heated!) argument with your partner about something that doesn’t even pertain to you directly.

* Except those FLDS women. I’m pretty sure they are not. Prairie dresses? Check. Lot’s of kids? Check. Minimal school? Check. Subservient? Check. You get my point.

** My opinion only!

*** Work!!!!!!!

So, I went to my friend’s apartment and the last time we saw each other was her birthday party months ago. In between then and now she’d acquired a boyfriend. Surprise! I was introduced and he seemed like a nice enough guy. She called him a redneck and I didn’t hold the fact that he likes Nascar and has a bad haircut against him.  But then something became clear. He could not keep his hands to himself and my friend was completely into it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those people that hates P.D.A.  There is nothing wrong with holding hands, getting a little cuddly, maybe a stolen kiss here or there.  But there are rules. Rules you’re supposed to follow, especially around your friends. Unless alchohol is involved, there is no reason to just be straight up groping one another. His hands were all over the place and I’m like, “I know you’re in love, but can you keep your pants on?” At least until I leave, then do what you want. I just don’t want to think about it. I feel like in 30 years he’s going to be one of those creepy old guys who goes to the club and leers at the college girls. I see them all the time and I can totally see him becoming that guy! Creepy old guy! Gross!! So, I had a good time once there were more people there, but just me and them, alone was so uncomfortable. P.D.A gone bad is not fun for anyone.  

On to other things. Thanks for the comments. There was a question about Colbie Caillat. She just got popular here this summer actually so it’s funny you mention her. Lord knows they were playing Bubbly on the radio forever before they released a new single. If you like her, then you need to listen to one of absolute favorites ever!!! Sara Bareilles. I loved her before she was on a major label and now she’s all over the place. She writes her own stuff, she plays the piano, her voice is amazing. I mean, if she came to my house and told me she wanted to marry me, Angela would just have to find someone else. Or be my mistress. Sara B would definitely be on my top 10 list of favorite artists. That would be a hard list to make. How about you guys? Could you make a top 10? Here’s my tentative list based on how they changed my musical life in no particular order.

1. Sara Bareilles
2. Aerosmith
3. Kanye West
4. Coldplay
5. Tupac
6. Keith Urban
7. Snow Patrol
8. John Mayer
9. Kirk Franklin
10. Goo Goo Dolls
I love all of those for different reasons. Music is definitely a huge part of my life. I live for it. No additions to the summer soundtrack today. Instead find a song by those artists. (Kirk Franklin is a gospel/Christian artist.)

Hmm, I promised a lesson in slang right? Are you interested in it? Are there any words that you’ve ever wondering what they mean? In fact, is there anything you’d like me to talk about for my last day? It’s tomorrow and then the lovely Angela will be back with all sorts of stories about her time away. I’ll try to come up with something good but feel free to leave me some love. I need it! Holla at your girl.

Peace, love and happiness always.

Picture this: East Orange, NJ, circa 1994. A little black girl in the hood goes to her mother and says, “Mom, can we get a dog?” The mother smiles and says, “Of course you can have a dog baby! When you’re grown and out of my house!!” My mother is NOT an animal person. My dad used to have a dog before they got married. She made him get rid of it! (He gave it to a friend before she could shoot it.) The only pet I had as a kid were fish and slowly her ideas of how dogs, cats and other small animals were germ-infested, smelly, disgusting creatures slowly penetrated my brain. Whenever I went over to a friend’s house and they had a dog, I would stare at it, praying it didn’t attack me. “Oh, Kujo just wants you to pet him.” Many a dog owner would say as their ‘cute’ dog would jump up and down, snarling, teeth bared, looking at me like I was dinner. I mean, I’ve even met a racist dog. No joke. My friend Amy brought me to her house and warned me that her dog did not like black people. And sure enough, the dog growled and then ran at the sight of me and Sam(another black friend) and hid for the duration of our stay. My dog dream was dead.

Angela has two dogs. I was not thrilled. But miracle of miracles, they actually just wanted to be petted! They’re nice, they’re thrilled whenever I walk in the door, they follow me around and they listen to me talk when no one’s around. By george, what a faithful animal!! (is what I thought to myself). In the back of my mind, the dream rose again. Sure rabbits are cute but a dog! Now that’s a pet! I told Angela. We should get a dog when we get a house. I could play catch and it would hang out with me on the couch. Oooh the dream was alive and well. Sure, the dream got beat a little bit everytime these two dogs did something, but they’re still cute and friendly. But then today….today I went down the hall, turned the corner to the bathroom and there was poop on the floor. Not just one little pile, no, SEVERAL PILES OF POOP! It was gross ya’ll. I mean, just when I think I want a dog and I’m ready for what that entails..woo! I remembered the poop and the dream retreats back into a corner of my mind. I asked Angela’s brother if he’d seen it and he acted all surprised but you know what? I think he saw it. He just didn’t want to clean it up. I wouldn’t have believed that about him before but he lied to his parents about eating all the salsa. How you gonna be 30 years old lyin’ bout eatin’ some salsa! You know that ain’t right! Anyway, if you guys have any advice about the dog thing, get back at me. Maybe there’s some small breeds or something that make small poops. Cus you know a sista is not trying to be picking up after a monster dog people!

I watched three good movies yesterday: The Seeker, Live Free or Die Hard and Lost In Translation. I’ve been wanting to see Lost In Translation for forever and it lived up to the hype. I loved it, I loved the music, it was funny and everything people said it was so I highly recommend it. Live Free or Die Hard was also good. I like Bruce Willis as the action guy and even though he’s old he’s still got the swagger. The Seeker wasn’t bad, it’s a kiddie fantasy movie so I wasn’t expecting much.  My next movies are I Think I Love My Wife, Adaptation and About Smidht. Thanks for all the suggestions for heist movies, I’m psyched.

Oh you want more music? I’m trying to educate ya. The Summer Soundtrack rolls on.
1. Disturbia - Rihanna
2. Love Remains the Same - Gavin Rossdale
3. I Decided - Solange
4. Say - One Republic
5. Fall for You - Secondhand Serenade

Alright peeps. I’m actually going to go out tonight, do something with myself. I love it when you comment, it makes me feel even more important than I already feel. Holla at ya girl. Peace, love and happiness. Oh and we’ll get to your slang lesson later.
