Are You One of These People?

If so, then shame on you!

There are people in the world that rush other people through when they are talking to them. You know those people. When you are having a conversation with someone and they either say, "Okay...and then!" Or, they do that little hand wave thing to signal to you that you need to skip to the end of your story because they are done talking to you because you are taking too much of their time. And, perhaps, you are that person. Again, I say...Shame On You!

Who do you think you are? I have dealt with that for so long in my life that it has actually changed my confidence in a very bad way. I am not the most confident person to begin with but, I used to be able to carry on a conversation without stumbling all over my words and making an ass out of myself. But, now because I think that no one really wants to hear what I have to say, I rush through my sentences in my stories and usually bumble words. I start to sweat, my face gets red and I feel that warm flush of embarrassment. At times, I wonder if people think I am drunk all the time because of the way that I stumble all over my words when I am in a group. All because some people don't have the time to be talking to me and have managed to undermine what little confidence I had.

So, from now on...when people do that to me, I will simply end the conversation. No more. Not one more word will leave my lips.

Here is my new rule, which you might call an early New Year's Resolution: If you don't have the time to talk to me, you are wasting MY time!

It Made Me Tear Up...It Made Me Giggle Out Loud...

...what more could a girl ask for in a book? How about suspense, horror and edge of your seat fun? Never doubt Dean Koontz. I finished his latest Edge-of-Your-Seater Sunday and recommend that everyone go out and get their copy! I will admit that it started off a little slower than usual but, the turning point wasn't far away and once I arrived at it, I had a hard time forcing myself to put it down to do such things as eat, sleep, work and live.

So, go get a copy of Dean Koontz's "The Darkest Evening of the Year". You'll enjoy it!

About Time...

According to TMZ.com, Kevin Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, will be heading into court tomorrow to ask that the judge prevent Britney from regaining any custody of their kids until she sits her immature ass down for her deposition. The last part is all just me enjoying the freedom of editorializing. He really just wants her to sit down for her deposition. No mention of her ass was made on TMZ.com.

This is his way of responding to her blatant disregard for the law when she called a sick day on her scheduled deposition last week but, was healthy enough to hang out at the Four Seasons Hotel and 2 gas stations later that night. 2 AM later...to be exact.

So, this makes me happy. I am pretty tired of seeing Federline's lawyer give her all the breaks that he has given. It is about time that she learns some respect for the law. All the breaks that she has been given have shown her nothing less than the fact that she can do anything she wants to and only the most minimal of punishments will be doled out to her disrespectful rump.

Throw the book at her. Or, the gavel. Or, at least the judge's shoe! Sheesh!

Peaceful Memories...

Sorry, I have been saving up since I was having a hard time sharing YouTube videos last week.

This is a song by 311. It is called "Amber" and I first heard it on my honeymoon nearly 6 years ago. Every time I hear it, it takes me back to the Mustang Convertible, with the top down, on our first night on the Big Island (Kona Coast) of Hawaii. I get everything happy. I get nastalgic, peaceful and reminiscent. So, enjoy it and imagine yourselves somewhere warm (if you aren't somewhere warm)with the scent of salt water air all around you.

I May Be The Only One...

I never liked this song. Sorry! It just isn't my cup of Venti Sugar-Free Vanilla Breve Latte. But, I love this. Tom Gleeson is a genius and should be bowed to! I would love to meet this guy and shake his hand someday!

Give Her What She Is Asking For...

This little rant that I am about to go on wasn't really sparked by anything other than months and months, and maybe more than a year, of bad behavior.

Here is my take on Britney Spears. Let what defines her, rule her. If she is Hell bent on being a LOSER, give her what she wants. Let her LOSE her kids, permanently. Let her LOSE her family and friends. Let her LOSE her job.

She doesn't deserve her kids. Just because you birth them doesn't me you deserve to have them in your life if you refuse to work at being a good parent. You don't deserve your family just because you were born into them. You have to nurture your relationships with both your family and friends. And, just because you could sing once upon a time doesn't mean you deserve a career if you can't be responsible in all aspects of your life...including your career.

Again, let what defines her, rule her! You want to be a LOSER! Enjoy LOSING everything you ever had.

What The Fedge...Part II

I can not figure it out. What is the deal with YouTube? I tried and tried for somewhere around a week to post Natasha Bedingfield's song Single on my blog and, it told me that it would post soon. But, it didn't forever. So, I finally find out another way to do it, I do that and...BAM...there the old attempts at both Natasha's song and the new Maroon 5 song is. So, there you have it...repeatedly. Sorry folks! I don't know what happened. But, let's just say it builds character and leave it at that!

Enjoy both songs again...and possibly again...and who knows how many more times after that. I lost track of how many times I tried to get Natasha's song to post on here before I found the other way. It is entirely possible that it might be on here 5 or more times. And, because I don't believe in deleting any of my posts in favor of others, I will just leave them!

Sorry for repeating myself!

Maroon 5 'Won't Go Home Without You'

This is why I love Maroon 5. Every single they release has me singing along. This is why the rock!

Your Opinions...

Over the past year (or somewhat less) I have heard about the book Dante's Inferno enough to warrant some curiosity on my part. I never had to read it for school and never came across it while browsing shelves in any book stores so, it was never anything that I either had to read or thought much about. But, as much as I keep hearing about it in casual conversation (a barista at one of my local Starbucks actually inferred that working for Starbucks is something like what goes on in Dante's Inferno), on TV or even in Brother Odd by Dean Koontz. Believe me, as much as I have heard or read about it, I feel almost obligated to read it. It is sort of like life is telling me that I need to read it.

So, after I get done with my current Dean Koontz book ("The Darkest Evening of the Year") and the 2 other books that I have waiting to be read, I think I will be buying a copy of Dante's Inferno and putting an end to the world's desire to get me to read it. Shut up! I get it! I'll read the dang book!

And, my question now is, have any of you read it? Would you recommend it? Any idea as to why the world seems bent towards getting me to read it?

And Now Others Are Noticing...

I mentioned this a couple months ago. I was reading People Magazine and they had a spread on Britney Spears and her problems. There was a big picture of her in that article and if you looked close enough at her hands, you could see what looked like cigarette stains. Well, Perez Hilton posted some recent pics of her on his site PerezHilton.com. I snagged this one from his site...hope he doesn't mind. Finally, I am not the only one who notices how truly dirty this girl is. She isn't just dirty in the way that she lives her life like a scum. She is dirty in her skin too. Gross! Take a freaking bath. What are you doing at those hotels almost every day if you aren't visiting the spas? Quit trashing your life and maybe your hands won't look like you just got done rummaging through garbage.

Geuss What Is On The Radio...Right Now?

Another Justin Timberlake song. Go figure!

Here Is Natasha Bedingfield's Song "Single"

I have been trying to post this from YouTube for about a week and, now that I know another way to share it with you all, here it is.

Smiling Now!

Yay! Do you see it? It worked! (Just in case I have confused you, I am talking about the post below this one with the YouTube video of Maroon 5's newest release and video)! And, I like that you can change the borders when you use the "Embed" method of posting YouTube videos! How cool is that?

It is a bit more of a lengthy process than the "Share" method but, as long as it works, that is all I care about.

Now, I think I will go back and give you all what I have been trying to for somewhere around a week.
