Random Thoughts of the Day:
I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter?
Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again.
Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.
There is a great need for sarcasm font.
Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what was going on when I first saw it.
How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.
Was learning cursive really necessary?
< SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">
Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".
I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.
Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".
How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?
Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies"
What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
< /B>Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.
Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
Bad decisions make good stories
Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!
Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.
Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem....
You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've ma de up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.
There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
"Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.
I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damnit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
When I meet a new girl/boy, I'm terrified of mentioning something s/he hasn't already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking.
I like all of the music in my iTunes s, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles...
As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
I think that if, years down the road when I'm trying to have a kid, I find out that I'm sterile, most of my disappointment will stem from the fact that I was not aware of my condition in college.
Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.
Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...
My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other d ay "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the heck do I respond to that?
It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.
I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.
The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimate d that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There's nothing like being made to feel fat before dinner.

The Dallas field office of the Student Conservation Association (SCA) will host a Gulf Coast Crew Leader Training program that will train more than 30 crew leaders from Dallas, Houston, and Jacksonville, Florida. The crew leaders will impact over 100 students, who will serve their local communities through trail building and restoration, invasive plant removal, and providing other services in the interest of their communities and environment.
The SCA is the nation’s largest and oldest youth conservation corps, and this inaugural event is the first regional training in the organization’s 50 year history. From Saturday June 13 to Sunday June 21, participating crew leaders will receive instruction in various areas including work skills development, program management, media and communications, risk management, adolescent development, and CPR certification.
Work skills will be taught through hands-on participation in projects at three different locations in Cedar Hill, Texas: benches will be constructed and placed along the trails of Dogwood Canyon; the Gerry Garza Memorial Trail will be extended and cleared at Northwood University; and crew leaders will design a drainage structure at Cedar Ridge Reserve. These three projects will reinforce the importance of teamwork and cooperation.

Im not dissing my Jagger Mafia on 105.3 but im not much of a sports junky and honestly the k104 crew makes me LOL

i found out my stupid nephew has a video of him fighthing this other gang member in an empty parking lot! ay no hott mess! and of course he thinks it awesome that one of his homeboys put up the video. (he does win) but thats beside the point, I dont understand why kids, people think being in a freaking gang is okay, and that its cool! believe me i grew up around it all my life. and i did great with chilling with them but when it came to the violence and gang lifestyle and culture, im sorry i rather go to class! recently i also discovered that kids are stupid to ditch school. skipping is so over rated and why do these kids dont understand!? I mean i guess @ one point i thought oo lets do it, but now i look back and say man i was stupid to ever even try. and well mom always wanted me to skip school and spend the day with her but i was like naw, i rather go to class. Hiding in the bathrooms between periods, ditching school for motel parties, why do kids do such things!? only to get a court date with more than 500$ in fees! when will the stuid youth come to realize these artificial friendships are not worth the $$ and time spent. B/c believe me, 7 years later, u meet up with some old "BFF's" and realize man, good thing i didnt pick that same road!

OMG i had so much fun at the Britney Spears Circus last night! My sister and I sat down for only 3 songs and danced our asses off! She's more of a PCD fan but she's still had a great time...and sang all the words to "hit me baby one more time!" So i've been going to shows/concerts since i was 13 but never had I been to a HUGE SHOW with ONE star b 4 (well Avril doesnt count sorry luv). BRITNEY was the perfect 1st real show. Costume changes, wigs, fire, lights, yelling, video clips, gays, midgets, toxic, freaks, confetti, strobe lights, dancing, laughing.... Ah, fun times!

In the online chat world you meet some intresting peeps but no matter how long you message back n forth or even if its just 1 day. You share a moment in time and laughs some good LOL's to all those I've lost in the AIM/YM/Messenger world peace be with you! Lol and to those whom im yet 2 meet. ASL?

hola, so i spent the weekend in ft. worth working another promo event with westwood college. it was the New You Expo and nbc held America's Got Talent auditions. ayyy what a hot mess. 1st of all the expo wasnt as full of people as expected. and next we had to work 7plus hours listening to horrible texans sing, everyone and thur momma thought they had talent, and sadly i can only remember 2 talented ones, and a few bad ones.
so if u havnt seen the show, its hosted by jerry springer 1st of all thats a circus to begin with. lol so the winner wins a vegas show. and well this isnt american idol so singing is not all they are looking for. its an honest talent show but stupid people think singing is all they can do! ayyyy nooo! 25% of them can actually sing but i cant see a huge vegas production along with thur voice. im sorry. u have to be damm good.
the 2 talented people i saw was 1st on sat. a big black girl who sang, that jennifer hudson song, u know the one that makes u get chills, ay the one from dream girls....your gonna love me....yeah so this black gurl sang it soo well. i think shell get a call back. And today Sunday a girl, around 16, blind walks up and sings, at last! omg almost made me cry. she most def will get a call back, her voice wasnt the best but the fact that shes blind and can hold a note, its worth TV time!
okay as u can tell i can go on and on about this hott situation lol. but lastly i have to tell u about the saddest audition i saw almost made me want to punch the mommy and daddy! a couple of a 2year old took thur son to audition. and on the center of the stage they placed a chair and holding on to the chair was the baby. they said hello, this is my son, brandon, 2 yrs old he will be dancing Beyonce's single ladies. they walk off stage and the baby stands there. the music starts and we all wait to see the magic....he actually brought in a crowd of people and most of them were in awww omg wtf were the parents thinking...but like the cartoon singing frog whos a broadway superstar at home to his owner and a normal frog on stage with lights...this baby turned out to be a normal 2 yr old holding on to dear life on that chair, maybe with a dirty diaper! who knows! ayyy parents these days!
highlight of my weekend, meeting my idol, mario lopez :) lol

Ay I can't fall zzzzzzzzzz. I tried reading didn't help. Im avoiding food or cereal. Maybe its all the sugar I had at my sisters bday dinner that won't allow me 2 fall zzzzzzz.
In any case I'll try my best 2 close my ojos y tune out the water pipes I hear, cars driving by and crying cats. A couple of night I had the same thing happen 2 me, I culdnt sleep. Well it was like 330am almost 4 and it was warm outside so I had my window open well out of no where I hear this guy yelling "fuck you all" "come out here bitches im over this shit" "yes you come out side I don't care.." I was like wtf? I really wanted 2 be a chona y check it out but of course I just ignored it and went 2 bed. Ay the ghettos sometimes follow.
Ay why is my neighbor taking a shower @ 12:25am lol he needs 2 quit that shit. This isn't days inn.

[timeline-post graduation]
- Graduated May 2007 B.A. Radio/TV/Film: took an internship with Walt Disney World
- Jan 2008: internship completed job searching begins.
- March 2008: USA Film Festival Assistant Part-Time - 2 weeks
- April 2008: unemployed
- May 2008-Dec: part-time Studio Movie Grill
- June 2008-Present: part-time Westwood College Brand Ambassador
- Jan 2009 - 2 weeks Graphic Designer
I thought after graduating college and recieving a Degree one could find a full-time job. Not only have I not been given that opportunity I've applied for over 100 positions, from Television Production/Film to Marketing, to non-profit, education, hotel management, etc. I feel I'm qualified however something just isn't clicking!? I've worked for free, volunteered and interned all for work opportunity. I've watched dogs, watched houses, been a cashier at a liquor store, brand ambassador for over 10 companies. You name it I've probably done it or applied to do it! All I ask for is a full time, steady paycheck from which I can pay off student loans. On a good note, I'm working part-time and living to pay rent, not my ideal situation post graduation not my dream with my qualifications.
