Wow.  How is it that I can write nonstop one day and a week can fly by and I forget the fact that I have a blog, now? (lol)

Well, I am writing you now 18 and legal, baby. Yep, that’s right: I made my 18 b-day earlier this month.  And how did I celebrate, pray tell? I spent the day in the doctors office getting shots.

And I didn’t even get a frigging cake after all of my pain and suffering :/

On another note,  now I can get in a club now Not that I would have the opportunity to get into a club anyway. There aren’t that many clubs around here, and besides, I’d wouldn’t want to go clubbing alone.

Do you detect a note of resentment under my written words? Well, you are on the right track, but it isn’t resentment that I feel.  More like hurt. My friends  were discussing taking a senior trip to Cancun (which was the first that I had heard pray tell).  Now while they were discussing this trip, never once did they ask me if I wanted to go.

The only thing that I feel right now is hurt.  Hurt that the people whom I thought I was lcose to could exclude me from something signifying the beginning of our journy into our adult lives.

Okay, I’m'not going to get all wimpy on you and dwell on this anymore.

The good news is that LOST came back on Wednesday (cheers). And as usual, the episode left more questions unanswered than actually answered: will the oceanic 6 make it back to the island? How will the ones on the island get out of the time warp? What is Ben’s initial plan? What happened to Claire?  Who wants baby Aaron? WIll Kate and Sawyer reunite?????

OK, maybe that last question was what I was thinking (lol). And may I say that Sawyer still looks delectable this season.

The good news is that we now know what happened to the island: its stuck in some type of retro time warp. Also, that Daniel Fairday had something to do with the Dharma Initiave  project . That’s basically just about the only questions that’s answered during the two hour premire.  Oh, and you also get a glimsp into what happened to the Oceanic 6 once they had gotten off the island as well as the fact that 3 years have past.

But of course, unless you inhabited the message boards or watched closely at the previews and flashforwards in last seasons episodes,  you can kind of infer what’s happened in the season premire. I can say one thing though:

We are in for a very interesting season

Until next time peeps! I’m going to go edit my novel.

As always leave me comments, questions, or crits.

It has seemed to become part of our culture to have like a million dating reality shows on tv every day. But the amazing thing isn’t the fact that these dating reality shows are absolutely horrible, but that these so called ‘reality’ shows aren’t actually reality, but in fact my google search has tuned up that the shows are actually storylines and self proclaimed actors and models sought off the internet.

Right, I know some of you are going like duh right now.

I admit that I’m guilty of watching some of these ridiculous dating shows such as Rock of Love, Flavor of Love, Next, The Bachelor, and now recently, Momma’s boys. You want to know what every single of these shows have in common?

Typical sluttly girls, bad storlines, and people that never cease to irritate you.

What is it that attracts people to watch dating shows despite the fact that they are not only unrealistic, but so ridicuolous that love cannot formulate in a compressed environment? It’s a question that I cannot fully answer myself. Is it just the entertainment value mixed in with comedy that makes it so appealing?

But sometimes the shows can leave you with a sour taste in your mouth.  For example, I watched tonight’s episodes of Momma’s Boys (which I recomment you not towatch due to the overbearing nature of the moms and sons who can’t seem to pick a decent girl to save his life–no wonder they enlisted in mom’s help!)  and I couldn’t help but grow offended at the racist mother on the who discriminated against everyone who was blonde haired and blue eyed  (Hitler, anyone?).

I get it that it’s your son, and you want him to be with the best person and all, butyou don’t need to be an ass about it. Seriously, the things that the woman says would make anyone of any race grow offended.

:Shakes Head: simple minded people.

I seriously could not watch that show anymore.  And don’t get me started on Rock of Love Tour bus…

I don’t want to go on and on about dating reality shows becasue they are not worth me writing about  anymore…I want to blog about something much cooler…but you’re gonna have to wait until tomorrow

I have to get some sleep now, sooo….

 

peace ♥

Well, I had a nasty bout of food posioning this weekedn

(ugh)

Safe to say, I’m still alive! It would suck for me to still be sick on my birthday (oh yeah, my birthday is tomorrow—the fifth ♥)

Speaking of my birthday, am I suppose to  feel somehow different now that I’m reaching the big 1-8? Beacuase if that’s the case, then I don’t..  I originally thought that reaching 18 was bigger than reachign 16 (despite the anemiity that you can legally drive—but you can do that at 18). I guess the big thing about reaching 18 is the freedom that you can experience from the binds of your family….I say that is a good thing now.

So on another note, I’m watching 1408. If you haven’t seen it, its a movie adaptation of Stephen King’s novel 1408 featuring a spookiy hotel room with people mysteriously dying in there.  For some reason, I find this movie more hilarious than spooky–but then again, I’m watchign the movie in the middle of the day at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. 

I’m not likely to be spooked.

I goitta love John Cussack’s flippant attitude and Samuel L Jackson’s overbearing palpable fear of the room.

I would love to stay in a creepy hotel room. Granted I wouldn’t stay by myself, but I’d like to sleep in a creepy hotel nonetheless.

On the topic of movies, I want to remark that I finally know what the big deal is with people and BluRay discs and player.  Not to mention that the added space compasity compared to regular dvds is  pretty cool, but the blu ray discs have more features than would have a regular dvd.  I just so happen to take a glimpse at The Dark Knight on Blu-Ray.com, and I have to say that I am pretty impressed. I am SOOO living in the 2001 with my simple dvd player (hehe). All jokes aside, I’m pretty impressed with eh Blu Ray player.

Let’s add Blu-Ray player to my christmas list for 2009

Okay, I’m out! Gonna focus on the movie now

Peace ♥

You know I haven’t been to an actual fair since I was seven.

I remember the childlike excitement that I felt ridign on all the rides (especially the really fast ones). But strangely, I never rode the ferris wheel.  At the time I was of course, terrified of teh possibility of actually riding it.  I’m sure I would have puked if I had gotten at the top. Instead, I just looked at it.  Watched it turn around and around….

But now that I think back to that time, I wish I rode that ferris wheel.   If I rode it, then I could have easily gotten off of it and that would have been that.

It’s funny how life is like a ferris wheel. It goes around and around….stopping ever so often to let people off and to let new people on.  But it doesn’t shut down when the carnival closes. It just keeps going around and aroung….some people are scared of taking that ride, while others enjoy the rush.  Getting at the top is the exilirating rush…the ultimate thrill. And either you can just puke or feel adreline rush through your veins.

No matter what complexities in life people are faced with, they ultimately have to ride the ferris wheel–literally and figuratively.

I’m already the ferris wheel of life…and I can’t get off and on and my pace. I don’t know when I’m gonna reach the peak, but when I do, I hope it’s worth it

I googled Pearl Jam today.

No particular reason, except for the fact that I was listening to an old Pearl Jam song called ‘Alive’ and I was wondering if they still were making music. I was surprised to find out that they still do, you know, since I never actually heard anything late breaking from them.

Isn’t google like one of the best search engines in the world? It’s amazing how you can just type in anything in that little google box, and presto–instant results.  Yay for search engines! You can google yourself if you want to. You can even google your name (can’t really say you’ll get successful results if you share a name with a car–like me). 

 

(I’m not 100% sure if you will go blind though). haha.

Another cool feature of googling is that you can see what other people are googling.  Or how many results are available on the web. Say if you are looking up how to cook a russian pierogi (don’t ask me what it is), you’ll see that there are 58,700 results.

Ding.

On another note. I looked up (via google) what are the best gadgets of 2008.  I wasn’t surpised to find that Apple iPod Touch made the list at number one followed immediately by the Wii Fit, Nikon D90 SLR camera, Apple MacBook, GPS, and Canon PowerShot. But what I was puzzeled about was   some phone call teh Pantech Duo.

Umm….wouldn’t you think that the Applie iPhone should make the list? Or how about the BlackBerry series? I don’t know about you, but I have never heard of this Pantech Duo.  It’s not even up to date as the iPhone or BlackBerry storm.

Oh, well, who am I to talk? I have a simple razor phone that is less advanced as the Pantech Duov(I’m not complaining though–the phone was free).

 

So now that the year is almost out (4 more days), what would you say is the best gadget of 2008?

Shame, shame, shame on me. I havent’ wrote a blog since [checks the date]—April 24th! And it’s already December 27. My, how the time does fly by.

I know its a little bit early for a New Year’s resolution, but this year I vow to write in my blog at least once a week (hehe)

Anyway, my dear general public.  How was your Christmas? Amidst family drama rama (what family doesn’t have drama I guess is the correct statement), I wasn’t as fortunate as to recieve a vast amount of gifts as I did last year (a glass elephant, shower gels, muffins, some cash, and some clothes contitutes my christmas gifts). But hey, I’ll take what I can get, right?

My wish list for the unforseen future is to get an iPod touch 32 GB (nothing less, as my music catalog will not yeild such space)

 I also want  the awsome MacBook that I can grow into (hey, if I’m going into Computer Science/Web Designing for my major, I can only tolerate the best, right?). I’ve experimented on a mac and I have to say that I only have good things to rave about it.

(Looks cool, doesn’t it)

Oh, and I want a car too. Don’t care what kind.  As long as it has four wheels and a steering wheel (oh, and a/c is a must, which i have definitely learned the hard way.

So on a global note, I was in the process of checking my email when a link discussing the best and worst states to live in caught my eye [http://www.walletpop.com/specials/best-of-the-best]  I clicked on it, expecting the worst to be New York City (no offense against you New Yorkers!) and the Best to be Montana or Alaska.  But I was definitely thrown through a loop! Nevada was categorized as the number one worst state (which I can kind of understand. But Lousiana (my home state) was categorized as the second worst state. And Alaska was number 8 (which kinda makes since. Alcohol abuse rate is high in that state according to the article, and I’d drink too if I lived in 6 months of night)—no offense to you Alaskans!

———————————————————————-I’m confused now.

New York didn’t even make the list. But yet, people always warn others against moving to New York. 

Right.

So now, if you want to know where the best place to live, according to the article,  move to Minnesota.

Well, that’s enough from me today. I’m going to go play around with my friends iPhone apps (they are so flipping cool, that I’m jealous now)

Until next time peeps!

PS…If you want to for some reason follow my daily thoughts and actions, follow me on twitter!          twitter.com/icandidreality

PPS……leave a comment to say what you thought of my post. Or if you want to add something.

I am back my fellow readers I checked my blog stats and saw that 5 people viewed my blog, but nobody posted a comment…? What’s up with that? Am I un-coment worthy? Do I not deserve to hear how much my blog sucked outloud and that you wanted to reach out and strip it off the net

Anyway, it’s Wednesday and I was thinking. When you think of Wednesday, what do you think about? Besides it being the middle fo the week of course. Do you think of it as trash day, test day, shopping day, etc? When I think of wednesday, i think of it as ‘do my tutoring’ wednesday. Or ‘America’s Top Model’ day. Not exactly a memorable day outside of those two elements.

So…in honor of my new blog, i decided to create a special day. One thing you should know about me is that I love to write (hello, duh. I wouldn’t be writing a blog if I didnt’). I’m in the works of writing my novel (but hush!). And automatically I love to read. The number of books I have read over the years are endless.

Well what am I continually droning on? I’m talking about creating Book Review Wednesday

Okay, okay…I know as a writer that I should have a catchier name than that, but give me a break. It’s a new project of mine. Every Wednesday, I will refer ten books that I love (you don’t necessary have to love them) and you can choose to read them if you like, or you can just scroll right on past.

Okay without further ado…let’s see April the 22nd’s top ten novels!!!!!

Book #1: The twilight saga by Stephanie Meyer (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse)

I started to read these books before they became big. You know, in that whole new spinoff craze of the Harry Potter craze? And I absolutely love this series. Stephanie Meyer creates an excellent well spun fantasy in a (surprisingly) real town in Washington, where a human, Bella Swan, and a vampire, Edward Cullen, fall in love. It’s your classic love story, only this one has a *bite* to it. It makes you experience a wide range of emotions from amusement, to sadness, to joy and sometimes even to tears (come on…just read these books and you will know what I’m talkign about!). The book series currently span over three 500+ page novels (don’t be intimidated by the page count!) and a fouth one is due for release in early August. A true loyal fan of the series, I pre-ordered my copy on Amazon (Breaking Dawn). This book series can reach out to a variety of readers with different genres. Plus, there is a movie coming out (date soon to be released) perhaps sometime this year or next in honor of the book series, so hopefully Hollywood doesn’t choose to alter the story as it did for Blood and Chocolate.

Book #2 The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

This novel generally started out as a expected read for my English III honors class. I thought I would hate it. But I can fully say that I enjoyed this book. The plot is mainly driven around the thoughts narrator of the story, Nick Carraway, that protain to the protagonist of the novel, Jay Gatsby. It’s a wonderfully short novel (short by my standards anyway) that is of the time period of the 1920’s and keeps you intrigued with the intricate characters of Jay Gatsby and associates.

Book #3 The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks

I’m pretty sure that you’ve heard of Nicholas Sparks. Hello…A Walk to Remember, Message in a Bottle, The Notebook…? If you haven’t heard of these titles, then you have seriously been living underneath a rock. Nicholas Sparks doesn’t fail to deliver a wonderfully attention grabbing, heart wrenching, (And at some points) pulse pounding novel that you can be glad that you read. I was actually quite surprised when I began to read the novel how abruptly the themes changed in the novel. From romance to suspense in an instant flat!

OOPS!!!! Maybe I shouldnt’ have said that. I don’t want to ruin the surprise for you if you haven’t read it yet. Just go read it if you hadn’t. It’s sure to lead you in for a delightful ride.

Book #4 Memoirs of A Geisha by Arthur Golden

This was the first ever book that I read that took place in a country other than America. And it was set in the past rather than the present. When I picked up this book, it was at a book fair and I had a few bucks in my pocket and time to kill. So I bought it, not having the intention to read it (sometimes I shamefully do that). But I flipped that one page, and instantly I was hooked. The novel takes on the form of first person perspective and delievers in the form of-no shock-a memoir. You have to remind yourself at the end of the book that the novel is just a novel-a work of fiction-because it is so excellently written in the perspective of a young woman…by a man no less! The novel’s plot takes place in Japan as a young woman learns how to grow into a beautiful geisha after she is taken away from her family rather abruptly. The young woman also learns how to cope with love, the lost of a love, and how we have to listen to our hearts rather than our heads. Three cheers for Arthur Golden for blessing this world with the presence of Memorirs of a Geisha that later graced movie screens (Thankfully the movie and novel actually coincided for the most part) and stole my heart and enhanced my emotions in the process.

Book #5 Night Game by Christine Feehan
(no picture :[ )
First of all, anything Christine Feehan writes, I absolutely love. Her genre is more romance on paranormal fiction cruising on borderline suspense. What I love about Night Game is that in her writing, she takes on the persona of placing her characters in the deep south and her hot Cajun male protagnoist is amusing and very hard to hate. Her female protagonist is a fiesty sprint who is INDEPENDENT and will meet tit for tat. I love how the novel is mystery with romance thrown in rather than a romance with mystery thrown in as an after thought. When Christine writes, she knows what she is talking about and her characters literally come alive off the pages. You can feel the fear. You can taste the suspense. You can feel the passion. Trust me…when you pick up this novel (or any other novel by Christine Feehan), you will not want to put it down.

Book #6 Night by Elie Wisel

This novel is different from all the rest that I have listed here on my blog. This is a non-fiction first person account of a person that lived through the Jewish Holocasut and tells his experiences about being moved from different German concentration camps and his experiences. You just have to read it to get the whole effect. It’s not a partifculary light hearted read, as it is depressing and full of distraught. It’s only about 75 pages long so even if you are a slow reader, you’ll probably finish the book in maximum of 2 days. This book made me cry and mad eme think of how horrible history was and how some people can treat human beings (Even in today’s society).

Book #7 My Sweet Audrina by V.C. Andrews

The thing with this book is that it is not particularly a book you want to love. The themes presented in this novel are the themes that are heart wrenching and straight up horrible. It’s not exactly the sort of book some parents want their children to read (even though they do it anyway) and its the sort of book that has you to look at your own life in prespective and sympathize the character. If you pick up any V.C Andrews book that was written before the 21st century (i.e VC Andrews herself and several ghostwriters), you’ll have a novel full of pain, anguish, and tough themes. Some people like to read these sort of novels. When I first picked up VC Andrews, I thought it was a typical child story. Boy was I ever wrong. The book deals with heavy themes such as child rape, psychological tramatation, family issues, and gut wrenching pain throughout. It’s all spun together morbidly, but overally makes the story come together.
But if you read this book, you’ll be rocked to tears and this book may actually may want you to get up and punch something.
Just put it this way….it’s an unforgettable book.

Book #8 Heartbeat by Danielle Steel

I can say whole heartedly that any book that Danielle Steel comes out, I will instantly buy. There is a reason fo why her books are a national phenomenon. Her books contain issues that affect us to the heart, and are inspiring. In every book of Danielle’s that I have read, her characters are faced with an emotional or physical issue in which they learn how to find the strength to move on. Heartbeat is no different. The woman character of the novel is trapped in a childless marriage where her husband controls her in ways she doesn’t know and finds love and support in a way she never would have thought have.

Book #9 Size 12 is Not Fat by Meg Cabot

If you’re familiar with Meg Cabot, then you know she wrote the princess diaries series. But here is a novel that an adult can actually pick up and enjoy. The title says it all: Size twelve is not fat. And Meg Cabot sets out to prove in this noevel that we don’t need to be a perfect size zero to gain the two things that we want in life: love and sucess.

Book #10 The Gingerbread Girl by Stephen King

My list is not complete without adding at least ONE Stephen King book. I admit that I have not read this book yet, but from this synopsis, it sounds intriguingly good

In the emotional aftermath of her baby’s sudden death, Em starts running. Soon she runs from her husband, to the airport, down to the Florida Gulf and out to the loneliest stretch of Vermillion Key, where her father has offered the use of a conch shack he has kept there for years. Em keeps up her running—barefoot on the beach, sneakers on the road—and sees virtually no one. This is doing her all kinds of good, until one day she makes the mistake of looking into the driveway of a man named Pickering. Pickering also enjoys the privacy of Vermillion Key, but the young women he brings there suffer the consequences. Will Em be next?

It’s Stephen King. Need I say more?

Hello to all of you out there in cyberland (a.k.a the internet if you are behind the times). If you’ve stumbled across my blog, then you here for either one of two reasons.

Reason #1:  You know this blog is destined for greatness and clicked on it through a search engine

Reason #2:  You came to bash me for whatever I a am going to say (no matter what I actually do say

Anyway, it does not matter how you came on my blog.  I’m glad you’re here. =D

You see, I could go on and on and on about who I am, what I do, etc. ect….but….I’m not going to do that…not just yet, anyway. You see, some people get bored talking about theirselves reguardless of the fact that they may have the most intresting life in the whole world and success to go with it.

So yeah, I’m one of those people who get bored about talking solely about theirselves. 

I mean sure, you may be one of those people who have no trouble in that department. But do you honestly want to read a page long blog about me and I know you don’t care.

So who exactly am I?  Well…that’s just something you’re going to have to do some snooping on

So……who loves politics?

Well I don’t really.  But it’s that part of our lives that we can try to deny that there, but it’ll only hurt us in the future.  So I’d have to be under a rock to not know that it is democratic delegation day in Pennsylvania.  If you’re a Republican, you can probably care even less.

So you Democrats…did you go vote today?

If you didn’t…shame on you. The only excuse that I can see is if you cat died or you broke your toe.

=D hehe.

Long story short….your girl Hiliary Clinton won. Mmm….I guess that special broadcast on Monday Night Raw worked in her favor.  It seems that “Hil-Rod” took away with 55% of the vote. I mean, not that this could not have happened if she was on Raw, but still….big win for Hil. Let’s just not count Obama out of the race just yet. I’m pretty sure that everybody knows that theis will be one of the most historic elections in US history.

Some of you are going yay while others are going nay while all of you simulatenously are going “What the hell is she droning on and on about this for? If I wanted to hear a boring lecture, I’d listen to my mother telling me to clean my room, or my teacher teaching me about logorithiums. If I hear her drone on one more time, I will die of boredom.”

Here’s a hint! Go to Scotland! Scientists over there are in the stages of developing a pill that can increase longevity to 120 years.  Talk about crazy, huh?

Well..I’m gone.  Next time I’ll try not to bore you to much.  But when it’s a boring tuesday, what can you expect?!?!? Anywhoo….tune in tomorrow for another one of my ’sweet’ blogs.  In the meanwhile, while you detain yourself in excitement *hehe* watch this video that has been labled the new internet sensation. Its about a man that was stuck in an elevator for 41 HOURS (that equals suicide to me). I don’t know about you, but nothing can top the internet sensation of the coke and menthols experiment.  Now, THAT was cool.
