My oh my, you're so good-looking Hold yourself together like a pair of bookends But I've not tasted all your cooking Who are you when I'm not looking?
Do you pour a little something on the rocks? Slide down the hallway in your socks? When you undress, do you leave a path? Then sink to your nose in a bubble bath?
My oh my, you're so good-looking Hold yourself together like a pair of bookends But I've not tasted all your cooking Who are you when I'm not looking?
I wanna know
Do you break things when you get mad? Eat a box of chocolates 'cause you're feelin' bad? Do you paint your toes 'cause you bite your nails? Call up momma when all else fails?
Who are you when I'm not around? When the door is locked and the shades are down? Do you listen to your music quietly? And when it feels just right, are you thinkin' of me?
I wanna know
My oh my, you're so good-looking But who are you when I'm not looking?
Girls. I was wrong. Please disregard any previous advice I might have given you on finding true love. Fact is, it has nothing to do with being a good person, being true to yourself, or even setting standards, as I previously believed. Based on the movies that you love, laugh and cry in (and watch incessantly) -- I think Hollywood has it figured out. It just might not be what you originally thought. Let's have a little look-see:
Dirty Dancing
* To find true love, hit the clubs and dance as dirty as possible. The "Dirty Dancing" of 1963 is equivalent to something you'd see today in a Flo Rida video. So if you want to find a good man, go 'head shawty, get low low low low low...
* To find true love, engaging in statutory rape is permissible. "Baby" Houseman really WAS a baby, a 17 year old one. We don't really know how old Johnny Castle was supposed to be, but he looked about 40.
The Notebook
*To find true love, it's ok to cheat on your current fiancee -- under the following conditions:
- You're cheating with someone in the Armed Forces. It shows support for our troops.
- You do it in a boat with a million doves flying around
- You later forget about it and need to be reminded daily in story form until you die
Grease
* To find true love, and tame a bad boy, simply become a bad girl yourself. Skin tight black pants? Check. Off the shoulder shirt? Check. Cigarette? Check. That outta woo 'em. Poison your body, dress like a whore, and you just might find yourself arm in arm with the man of your dreams being carried off into the sunset to "You're the One That I Want."
Pretty Woman
* To find true love, try being a hooker. Forget being a teacher, or a doctor, just slap on a wig, sell your body, and you, too, just might "Gere" up and find that rich, sophisticated man of your dreams.
Titanic
* To find true love, take naked pics of yourself and distribute them accordingly. Or, if there's no camera readily available, draw one. Remember kids, "sexting" lasts forever. Or in the case of Rose Calvert, one nude picture can somehow last underwater for like 70 years until it is later found by a bunch of dirty sailors.
Sex and the City
* To find true love, it doesn't matter if you're horse faced, a closet lesbian, a faux goody goody, or just an old whore. As long as you wear shoes that cost as much as a used car, and come up with the occasional quip, you can whore it up all you want, and still find the man of your dreams.
My birthday is in a week. I do this every year... I hate it actually. I get depressed and instead of wanting to celebrate "me" I want to hide from the world.
I do not like getting older, I do not like looking back at opportunities that I missed and I despise saying things like "I should of done this or that..." I try my damnedest to live life forward, without looking back. Living with no regrets and with my head held high, but every year for this short stint of time when I know I am a year older closer to my grave I find myself thinking. Thinking about who I wanted to be, who I am today, contemplating if I really like "me," and what I am willing to do about it if I don't.
I saw someone's Facebook status this week and truly thought wow... this person is really thinking straight. It said something about trying to be positive and instead of thinking about all the things he or she didn't have they were going to commit themselves to being thankful for the things they do have... cliche? Or the honest root to happiness. I am very happy for all the things that I have in life... for my accomplishments that I take pride in... but I am also a dreamer, a wisher, and a very determined dival.
Last night on Grey's Karev kept calling Meredith a junky because she was so determined to get back into surgery... well me, I am what you would call a success junky. Self proclaimed of course... I thrive on it... I need it to feel alive and worthwhile, otherwise I feel useless and bored. My point is that I want to be happy and content with all that I have... but I also need to know that there is always something more out there to obtain... otherwise what the heck am I living for... the fun of it? Ohhhh if that were just the case, I'd live life on a beach if I could... but in our world 2010 we need money to survive and my second career choice as beach bum didn't pay so well.
Last year I turned 30... I was scared, sure... but I had just moved to my dreamland (FL) and was busy wrapped up in getting to know the land, the people, and my new job... this year things are different and I am actually getting to celebrate... that is... if I can get myself out of this god awful dumpy mood. So... October 1st which is today... I am starting a new diet, new workout, and new focus... I figure if I can make progress in the next 10 days (in time for my "Epic" birthday) then I can set a new goal for Thanksgiving... then Christmas... in no time, I should be feeling all sorts of young and sassy right? Or... is this just merely a birthday wish?
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. I say that it's worth a whole lot more than that. In a single photo you can see every raw emotion written... forever captured in a persons eyes. You can relive details of a night out with the girls or a moment you shared with your nephew taking his first steps.
Photography is an art and an ability to take one moment in time and make it last forever. It "is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What is caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything." I find that sometimes a photo can take me back with a simple glance, it reminds me of the laughs I shared or the tears I cried... they often make me smile and some even take my breath away.
I have thousands of photos... in albums, in frames, in scrapbooks, and tucked away. I find it difficult to replace old photos that I've come to love so much despite that the images are no longer current for today... like the picture of my niece who is clearly no longer the 6 year old girl I still hold in a frame... Recently moving into a new home I've come to realize that much of my life in these photos are my life from another time and while I know that many pictures need to be updated I find them comforting, especially living so far away from home, to see the smiling faces of my friends and family to which I spent so much time with. I miss them.
This week we are starting to see some of the images from the wedding. I am so thankful that I choose Brooke as my photographer, she has a gift... she see's people. I've only seen a few of these photos and am already reliving the day... as cliche as it may be, our wedding day was honestly magical... my many families, extended; even unrelated, and friends were all together in one room and despite all my fears, concerns, worries... they all got along... enjoyed themselves, and I think even caught a glimpse of the genuine happiness you get from being with those that know you the best, no matter how much you don't get along. If you know me... you know that this tiny detail was all I could ever want in a wedding day... and I got it.
So, I shall take every moment in as I continue to get photos from my magical day... I'll relive the seconds till "I do"... the silliness in the bridal suite with my girls... my special shoot with my favorite girl Britney... and the amazing sunset with my husband. It's pretty lucky, magical day's don't happen for everyone... and through these photos I'll get to relive mine every day ;o)
I've had several requests by some guests at the wedding to post our vows as they were unable to hear them all due to the thunder and what not during the ceremony... I'm shamed to even post mine next to my husbands since his are far superior to my own. In any event, these make me smile and I shall remember them as well as live by them for the rest of my life... Cheers.
"Jennifer, from the moment we met I have known that we would end up standing here exchanging our vows to each other. My love for you was immediate and undeniable. It is a love that grows deeper every day. You often ask, why me? Why do you love me so much? The answer is simple; my life is empty without you. You have showed me what it is to truly love and to be loved and not a day has gone by that I have not learned something about myself from you.
You have come into my life and healed my heart and made it whole. You have taught me forgiveness, kindness, strength, and from time to time even a little humility. You have not just made me want to be a better man, you have helped me become a better man. Our life together will see highs and lows, laughter and joy, sorrow and loss. But, no matter what challenges life my present us with, I know that together we will emerge stronger, wiser, and closer than we were before. It's for these reasons and many, many more that today is the proudest day of my life. And I know that if my parents were alive to know you and love you the way I do, today would have been one of their proudest days as well.
I feel truly blessed and honored to be the man you have chosen to spend the rest of your life with. I stand here today as the man who pledges to love, cherish, respect, and protect you every day for the rest of my life. No matter where life may take us, my home is where ever you are. I love you so very much and I can't wait to live our happily ever after." "Shaun, today I give to you my hand, my whole heart, and my love. I take you to be my husband and am proud to become your wife. I don’t think you’ll ever truly know how happy you’ve made me or how every day I continue to find myself loving you more than I did the day before. I promise to you and to our future that I will respect you, laugh with you, cry with you, and even give you the benefit of the doubt… from time to time(insert inside joke here) and above all to always love you… through good times and bad, regardless of any obstacles that we may face. You are my love… my life… my everything."
Something about September makes me smile... the whole back to school and starting "a-new" bit seems to set in for me this time of year. This year September marks my one year anniversary of change.
This time last year I had recently acquired a fiance... moved to Florida, and started my new job. Now, a year later... I'm attempting to make an even better life for myself here with a husband, a new dog (Duchess Paisley Christine, the perfect compliment to our little Princess Britney Jean) and a new house. In the wake of new horizon's... it's also my final semester at Eastern Michigan University . Hard to believe that just under two years ago I posted on my blog my infamous random act of applying for a Master's degree... and here I am, just two months shy of achieving that goal that I thought I had lost so long ago.
My quest to better myself and to "be all that I can be" seems to never end. I wonder sometimes when I'll actually ever find myself content with my knowledge... until then I guess it's onward and upwards for me. Up next? A PHD maybe? I suppose we'll have to wait and see! So to all those going back to school and celebrating September with change as am I... enjoy and remember with change comes new opportunities and adventures that you would have never otherwise known.
Quote of the day: "Memory is the mother of all wisdom."
I am going to start writing again in 2010. Hence the million posts below that are from previous posts... all from my dwindling Myspace page. In any event... time to start anew... with a new site... a new outlook on life ;o)
And so… for the last remaining few that are left here (on Myspace) some words:
In the time since I’ve last left a note much has happened in this grand ole adventure that I call my life. For one, I’m officially living my dream. I live in Orlando Florida. I know right… can you believe it! I can’t remember a time in my life when I wasn’t seeking for some outlet to get me here. And yet, prior to just a few months ago, I can’t remember a time when I actually thought it would happen. In any event… it HAS happened and I am here. Waking to the sun on a daily basis is amazing, its 90 degrees at some point every day and despite being very homesick (who would have thunk it!) I am very happy and excited at the opportunity I’ve been given. With Universal Studios a mile from our condo and Walt Disney just down the road… who wouldn’t be happy right?
On to even better changes… I am getting married. No he’s not some crazy person, and NO I don’t think he’s lost his mind… what? I think I am perfectly suitable marriage material!!! (lol lol like that baby?)
Planning a wedding from a distance has not YET proved to be troublesome… I guess booking the ceremony and reception hall before we moved was a great idea ;o) As any sane bride to be, I am only freaking about the little details… you know such as… the dress (um I need to get on that…), time (christ! Only 10 months to go), gathering addresses (yes reader… I am probably still waiting on yours, get it to me), and of course making sure the day is perfect; it’s possible… I just know it!
In any event… we have a great support system at home and I know everything will be just right…
Also, I suppose I should probably acknowledge the fact that despite the deepest, darkest, dreariest day is ahead of me… (I’m turning 30 folks) I couldn’t be more excited for the future. Now I know that I am will be upset and live in denial for a while… (every women is entitled to make up her own age at this point)… but I can honestly say that the best days of my life… our life (his and mine) are ahead of us, and I can’t wait.
A wonderful family that always reminds me of where I came from and encourages me on my path forward.
Funny jokes to tell, even if I'm the only one that laughs at them. A sister that has inherited our mother's cooking skills and is a fabulous cook! Yummy!!
Friends that, regardless of how often I see them, are like a comfortable pair of shoes; they always make me feel good.
Certain clothes that pick up my spirits if I'm having a bad day because I like how I feel in them.
Favorite songs that I listen to when the sun is out. I crank up the radio and sing (totally off key of course) and it enhances my mood immediately.
Books that I love to lose myself in and enjoy the endings over and over again. Days of the year that make me happy - (my birthday of course!)
Wonderful memories that I share with my sister, friends or family when any of us needs to smile.
Times of the year that I love (yeah summer...and also fall!)
Movies that no matter how many times I've seen them, I will sit and watch them.
People in my life with children; children's laughter always brings a smile to my face.
No, I didn’t sit around a table with women wearing hats and gloves sipping fine teas with cream… I actually went to our State Capitol to check out the scene and listen to every day Americans (I’ll get to this later) discuss the effects and concerns over recent government spending and of course… taxes.
I’ve never been affiliated with any party and have never really paid that much attention to who or what a democrat or republican were… let alone that there are variations to these parties and that some prefer to be associated with the terms of conservative and liberal…
I guess I’m more of an issues girl… sometimes I can be on one side of an issue and on others I’m on the opposite side… I’ve never weighed these sides and therefore never noticed whether I was more left or right… I’ve been so oblivious to party affiliations that I can’t even tell you for what party some of my very best friends are for…
I am getting to a point…
In any event, according to those groups organizing Tea Party’s across the United States today, “the mission of the Tax Day Tea Party protests are to send a message to Washington and elected officials. To make sure that decision-makers in Washington know that there is significant opposition to reckless tax and spending proposals. The purpose is to send a reminder that elected officials work for us. We hired them, and we can fire them.” (And I would like to include here that careful attention has been given to ensure that these Tea Party organizers have NO party affiliation… that they are simply every day American people seeking to retain our American rights.) And yet as I lay in bed last night, I heard Rachel Maddow from MSNBC (democratically affiliated) talking about these Tea Party’s but calling them… tea bagging… and mocking the efforts stating that nobody knows what the “conservatives are talking about… taxation maybe… spending… President Obamas birth certificate perhaps… it’s not totally clear.”
Hmmm… it took me two seconds to find the mission online Ms. Maddow and I guess I don’t really get what the big deal is… are you saying that your for unnecessary spending and higher taxes, I’m just trying to understand.
Cut to today… I am still learning... and I am sure by now most of you know that I am going to be spending the rest of my life with a die-hard democrat… TURNED conservative republican (ha almost had ya there huh…) so I suppose that it’s only natural that I start learning about this stuff called politics. I haven’t heard much about democrats… heard a lot about liberals, and have recently heard that “republicans are rich, arrogant bastards who aren't for higher taxes and bailouts because they're greedy and don’t think they should have to pay more...”
Well then, imagine my surprise when attending the Tea Party today. Here I was, dressed in business attire standing amidst conservatives and republicans whom were dressed in their tattered army uniforms, US Navy jackets, USMC hats, Michigan State sweatshirts, biker chaps, USA flags, farmer overalls, yellow hard hats, and workers boots… the kind my father wears… In fact, myself and Shaun were in the minority at this event dressed in button ups and dress slacks… from where I stood, I very well could have been the most wealthy person there and we all know THAT ISN’T true.
This rally was filled with every day regular people, families, vets, bikers, country folk, business men, business owners, kids, students, etc... not a single one of them looked rich.
After the event we went to grab a sandwich. We came back to the capitol after the crowd had died down to get a closer look at some of the tables that were set up and listen to the patriotic lyrics of Brooks & Dunn and Aaron Tippin. A family leaving the rally with their signs proclaiming “America the free” and “What about my children’s future” tucked into their child’s stroller glided past us on the side walk… the man took one look at Shaun and I and said… "and here come the liberals..."
Um… WHAT????
First of all, I don't claim to be liberal or conservative and Shaun is the most conservative person I know... so why on earth did WE get labeled... it was interesting and I guess my first real taste of how politics can make people view others... on either side… and here is my point… your political affiliations are not visible through your skin color, the cloths you wear, and or the money you make… It angers me that I am even stating this because whether or not I am a liberal or conservative does not mean that I should be judged as either because I wanted to check out a Tea Party that happened to be discussing issues that are important to me… to me as a tax payer, to me as a citizen of the United States.
My only regret today is that that man and his family left on those last words… “and here come the liberals…” when really they just pasted a fellow American and the greatest conservative I’ve ever known.
“We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.”
I fear death… I always have. I don’t know why, or at least I didn’t until last night.
Watching Private Practice is not a weekly ritual for me. In fact, I think I’ve caught the show four times in its two (or is it three) year run. In any event there was a scene in the show last night that showed an old man on his death bed. He wanted to die; he’d given up and wanted to be released from whatever pain he was in. Two of the doctors on the show were with him, no one else. Apparently they had assisted him in dieing; giving him some drug that would allow him to slip away peacefully… a whole other topic that I refuse to get into… (haha).
The drug was a slow release and as the man was dieing he had this great moment of clarity, for a single second he was vibrant again, full of life and he begins to speak to the doctors begging them to give him some acknowledgment… some hope that he was there… that he had existed… that he had once been a life, led a life of meaning.
One of the doctors grabbed the man and repeated over and over again “You were here… you were here… you were here… you were here…” In that second I got up and ran for a piece of paper so that I could write down my thoughts about that specific moment in time, when your soul is slipping and all you can do is pray that your life meant something... anything… to anyone… my mind was racing so fast with everything I wanted to put down on paper that my handwriting was unfamiliar and barely legible.
I wrote “you were here” 19 times before I could finally read it.
And it hit me… that is why I’m so afraid.
I’ve long since stopped wondering why I’m here… I’ve led a life that I’ve felt mostly proud of… rising over obstacles, defying odds… if you know me; you know what I’m saying… I just know that I have a purpose and that in time, I’ll learn what that is… hopefully… and if not, well then I guess I wasn’t meant to know. But, there several things I do know already… my drive, my need, my longing to succeed (which we all know can mean several things) has always been a defining factor of who I am. When someone’s asked, “what’s your bigges fear?” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve answered with one word – failure.
And there it was on my TV screen last night… This fear of failure, and subsequently my fear of death, is simple and encompasses what I’m really fearful of… that when I am gone it will be as if I was never here.
Quotes
“Self-confidence is the honest-to-God belief that you can help someone learn. Arrogance is the honest-to-God belief that you have nothing else to learn. Smugness is arrogance without the talent.”
“Humility leads to strength and not to weakness. It is the highest form of self-respect to admit mistakes and to make amends for them.”
“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.”
“Dream your dream. Follow your heart. Imagine. Listen to the wind. Drink sunsets. Be free. Let the wonder never cease. Believe. Wish on EVERY star. Create adventure. Be Kind.”
“If you're trying to achieve, there will be road blocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”
“We all get at least one good wish a year; over the candles on our birthday. Some of us throw in more. On eyelashes, fountains, lucky stars, and every now and then, one of those wishes comes true. So what then? Is it is as good as we'd hoped? Do we bask in the warm glow of our happiness? Or, do we just notice we've got a long list of other wishes waiting to be wished?”
“Regrets… no there are no regrets; you can’t regret something that made you a better person.”
“One thought came to mind… how the hell am I going to get through this without my girls?”
“You’re totally a candy pusher!”
Lyrics
“I wanna hold you baby right or wrong Build a world around a country song, Pray a sweet prayer… Follow you there… Down in history… Like Johnny and June.”
The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions—the little soon-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment in the disguise of a playful raillery, and the countless other infinitesimals of pleasurable thought and warm feeling.
You know you’re worn out when you speak with your father whom you haven’t spoken to in several months and the first thing he says is... “You sound just exhausted.”
Maybe… We were supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the Right one so that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know How to be grateful for that gift.
Maybe… When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but, often times, we look so long at the closed door that we don't even see the new one which has been opened for us.
Maybe… It is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.
Maybe… The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; after all, you can't go on successfully in life until you let go of your past mistakes, failures and heartaches.
Maybe… Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.
I lay alone awake at night Sorrow fills my eyes But I'm not strong enough to cry Despite of my disguise I'm left with no shoulder But everyone wants to lean on me. I guess I'm their soldier. Well, who's gonna be mine
I bottle all my hurt inside, I guess I'm living a lie. Inside my mind each day I die What can bring me back to life? A simple word, a gesture Someone to say you're beautiful Come find this buried treasure With eyes lead to a pot of gold.
I've given too much of myself And now it's driving me crazy I'm crying out for help Sometimes I wish someone would Just come here and save me... Save me from myself
Who's there to save the hero When she's left all alone And she's crying out for help Who's there to save the hero Who's there to save the girl After she saves the world... After she saves the world.
Seasons Greetings...
Happy holidays and peace on earth to someone whose talent for vicious gossip has made my life all the richer.
I love it when he screams "Oh my darlin', I LOVE YOOOOOUUUUUUU!!!
In my opinion it is the sickest, nastiest groove I've ever heard. If you can't conceive a child to that, you're hopeless.
Diva One "There are only two types of people in the world: The ones that entertain and the ones that observe… N baby, I'm a put on a show kind of girl."
Diva Two "Remember those walls I built Well baby they're tumbling down And they didn't even put up a fight They didn't even make a sound I found a way to let you in But I never really had a doubt Standing in the light of your halo I got my angel now…
Hit me like a ray of sun Burning through my darkest night You're the only one that I want Think I'm addicted to your light I swore I'd never fall again But this don't even feel like falling Gravity can't forget To pull me back to the ground again."

Traveling
I was blessed to have met people that have taken me all over the world. Through-out high school and well into college I was always the "free bird"… traveling here, day trip there… I've been everywhere, and seen things that some only ever dream of. Yes, my life was filled with new destinations, new people and many adventures.
And then I got old…
Okay, maybe old isn't the right word… I got older, and life changed… work, life, love, my family… those things became who I was, what I needed to take care of. In any event this one time girl who has found herself in a single month gone every weekend to a different state… well she turned into a women and my beloved trips have become few and far between.
So with that in mind and LOTS of vacation days to use up… I'm leaving… Miss Britney and I are packing up the car and going for a little road trip. It's been a while since I've had the liberating highway at my fingertips, the open road to roam and no particular time line to depict my every move… oh and yes, if you've ever been in the car with me you know just how much fun this shall be… me, the road, my abundance of CD's and my best girl by my side… trouble at it's best.
I will not be around for the usual this year… the biggest bar night of the year… which we all know I tend to put on the rock star crown for… Thanksgiving or all the fun to be had shopping at 4 a.m. the day after. So I just want to say that I do hope you all have a wonderful Turkey day with your family's and know that I will be thinking about how thankful I am to have an opportunity like this and friends like you to tell my stories too ;o)
Love you all… I'll be sure to take lots of pictures… this is Britney's first big trip after all!
Oh and don't worry… I am going to be just fine.
Wisdom
How we ought to live: Be calm…quiet… tranquil. Bloom as often as you can. Stay close to your family. Explore the world around you. Enjoy the relaxing rhythms of waves. Watch the moon rise. Spread your wings and take off on your own. Then enjoy the comfort of coming home again.
Most guys are willing to put up with a pain-in-the-ass chick as long as she's a spinner, but as the old saying goes, for every pain-in-the-ass hot chick out there, there's at least one guy who got tired of banging her.

Bestie: "Hey! You made me one of your besties! It's not like I filled out an application for it! Just for that, I want my bagel back."
JJ: "I filled out the application for you based on a series of events… and answers to questions that you didn't really know I was asking. You almost failed based on your absence at two of the last concerts… but I let that shit slide. Your bagel is gone dude and it tasted good!"
Bestie: This is total bullshit! This is the greatest travesty in the history of the entire western world!
