Are you a part of the network? If so, I'd love to track your progress as well!

If not, here's mine, either way.. cheer me on. This is difficult!

People are always asking about my tattoos. Here are some common ones that I just want to go over, because it rolls the same across the board (for the most part).

1. Did it hurt? Yes, it hurts; however, pain is relative. I try and describe that for me, personally, it is more discomfort than pain. I should also state that my pain threshold is two hours. After that is hurts like being sliced open with a hot scalpel. There are other parts of the body that are severly painful. The armpit was excruciating, I can't imagine going through it again! The fact is, I love the pain and it's worth it in the end.

2. How much did it cost? First, and foremost, it's none of your damned business! I am blown away how often people ask me this question. I don't ask you how much your hair cut cost, or car, or anything.. that is so personal. A good rule of thumb for most tattoo parlors in my experience is $100/hour. I will not tell you how much I paid because (A) my artist is my friend, (B) I send a lot of business there, and (C) if you don't already know I'm a rockstar. YOU WILL NOT GET THE SAME PRICE

3. Why would you get a tattoo THERE? Simply because I wanted it there. I felt like being who I am for once in my life, and really standing behind it. Yes, I sometimes regret the location, but only because professionally it is hard to always have to wear long sleeves.

4. Don't you worry about what it'll look like when you're 50? No, not really.

5. How are you going to explain this to your kids? If I decide to have children, I will hope to teach them to embrace the differences in people. I will also tell them how I decided to wait until I was 25 to get tattooed, which doesn't mean it was smarter than a younger age, but that I absolutely knew it was what I wanted. I've heard so many friends regret their tattoos, but I love mine.

I can't think of many others, but now you know. Yes, I do feel cool because of my tattoos. Yes, I do look down on shitty tattoos. I am just brave enough to admit my prejudices.

If you were Jason Taylor you'd be asking for a trade too.

I love this book. I love Chuck Palahniuk. I can't wait to read his newest book.

Now for the patience it takes to wait for buds to sprout. *tapping finger* Any day now...

I absolutely LOVE going to get my hair done. I'm not sure if it's a "me" thing, or a "girl" thing, but it's the best feeling. Coming in with roots, straggly hair, and a pony tail. I get to leave with unified color, soft hair, and a big smile. Top this all off with a hairstylist who knows you, your hair, and is laid back. It's like a sundae with a cherry on top, drizzled in the best melted chocolate... in other words, "YUM"! The one thing I love most about Soak is that I don't leave looking like Suzy Homemaker. I get to go in and say, this is me.. not the cookie cuter style every other stylist always try to give me. All in all, if you are a Suzy Homemaker type, you can get that. It's just nice to know there's something for everyone.

Happy 4/20!

P.S. If drug use offends you, I really don't give a shit.

The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion" in a casual manner, think about whether you want the "politicians" spending
YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in
one of its releases.

A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were
living in the Stone Age.

D. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and
20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New Orleans It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division...

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D). is presently asking the Congress for
$250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans. Interesting number, what does it mean?

A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of
New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you
each get $516,528.

B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.

C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family
gets $2,066,012.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?



Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago,

and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.

We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle

class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.



What happened? Can you spell 'politicians!'



And I still have to “press 1” for English.



I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100 times



What the heck happened????? Could it be corruption???

Geaux Saints!!!!

Hours of giggly fun, This Blog is so f'n funny!

Hi, you may have noticed that I didn't comment about how I wanted to add you as a friend and curiously decided to check out my lj. Well, here's the deal.. you don't have to add me back, but if you don't I'll go ahead and also remove you. As you can see, many of my entries are not friends-only because I'm not just looking for people to add to my lj, I'm looking for compatible people. I'm 25 and generally don't add people younger than 20, though there are some exceptions (especially interesting people). Hmm, I won't get offended if you add me and later remove me, it's cool, and I hope you feel the same. Anyway, if you are against drugs, drinking, foul language, and sometimes bouts of seriously depressing entries.. you can go ahead and move on. I won't judge you, don't judge me. So, I look forward to meeting you if you've decided to stick around.

I like the number 5 and multiples of 5. mainly because you can sing it.. five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five. It's pretty cool in spanish too.. cinco diez quince (I don't know how to spell in espanol). You can't do that with many numbers.. maybe 2. But 6 sucks. six, twelve, eighteen. BOOO.

I woke up and took a tylenol PM and I think it's kicked in. So goodnight, part 2.

Some days, no matter how much sleep I get, I just cannot kick the feeling of being tired. I even went to the gym to kick in some energy, but I was more drained than before. I changed my igoogle to these 2 little creatures, and it is soo amusing that something as simple as them changing what they are doing during the day makes me happy. cheeseball. I think we are going to Voodoo Music Fest this year which I'm totally stoked about. RATM?!?! Hell yeah, plus MANY others for the price of usually just one. Also, I will get to spend the weekend in NOLA which is always a good time for me. Gain 10 pounds has been added to my list after that weekend because the food is too good to say no!

*yawn* goodnight.

Picture of the boob cake

Our Cookies

have a good night peoples.

Doesn't time just fly? The weather is starting to let up from a stifling heat to a cool, warm breeze. South Texas can be so mean when it comes to heat so I love this time of year. Not only that, but my favorite holiday, Halloween is coming up! Yay ghosts, ghouls, goblins, and hookers!!!!

Plans for tonight: the new Ben Stiller movie. 

Red/Yellow - The Directing Socializer
The Enthusiast

You are exuberant, bubbly, and well spoken. Your warmth and charisma are natural magnets that attract others. You're so persuasive that you could sell a stethoscope to a tree surgeon. Prestige is important to you and so you seek status symbols. You're also good at cultivating contacts and have a network of people you can call on for virtually anything.

Directing - Socializers love being spokesperson or presenter of new ideas, grand initiatives, and noteworthy projects that spur people emotionallly appealing to their hopes, dreams, and fascinations.

Your tendencies probably include:
*Seeking and enjoying status symbols
*Admiring people who express themselves well
*Disliking routines, slow place and needless details
*Being comfortable delegating as well as taking charge
*Exuding a positive, enthusiastic, outlook on life
*Being persuasive and inspirational
*Trusting other people and giving them a lot of latitude

Your growth opportunities

With tasks: You focus on the big picture and keep moving from one new opportunity to the next. As a result, you might not fully understand what's involved in accomplishing difficult or complex tasks.


You can significantly strengthen your performance by:

*Showing more commitment and follow through on key tasks
*Trying to be more analytical thinker and listener
*Stay current with changing know-how

With People: Try to be less impulsive, especially when low-keyed approach is more appropriate, such as during conflict or negotiations. You can also help yourself by working more closely with people with who are task oriented.

*Make use of daily planners, calendars, checklists and other proven practical tools or becoming better organized i.e. Four Point Plan Drill and START Observation Card.
*Be more cautious about moving too quickly or over promising before jumping into relationships.

Develop the serious, non-entertaining side of your personality by studying how to improve your skills in analytical listening, conflict resolution, and decision making.

Cheers to a hopefully fun weekend!

punketta asked for work safe jokes today, which I actually know very few "work safe" jokes considering my line of work. Anyway, my all time favorite joke is Why don't oysters give to charity? and the answer is my subject which you have to read aloud to get. 

My roots are about an inch long and I'm hungry. Sooooo, a shower and off to work tonight. I need to catch up on Private Practice and I look forward to my dvr recording Grey's Anatomy. 


If you have a joke (clean or dirty),, I'd love to hear it. I like to laugh like everyone else.

Too bad I'm stressed to the max. I always wait for the last minute to get the money for my bills, lazy. I know I'll make it though... I always do. So now I have a decision to make, should I stay or should I go. If I stay I will have to find another place to live because Spring won't be over before my lease with him is done. If I go I will have to take another semester off school, making it a year break... again. Another year behind at 25 (26 in a month).

On a happier, less stressful note... I won my fantasy match-up this week. The guy I played against has done nothing but talk shit to the guy I beat about how he got beat by a girl. He also talks shit to anyone who's beat me saying that my team sucks. So beating him was definately icing on the cake. Here's the message board talk afterwards...

Beat by a girl...

here's a little something from Pulp Fiction I thought you'd like...

The thing is Butch, right now, you've got ability. But painful as it may be, ability don't last. And your days are just about over. Now that's a hard motherfuckin' fact of life. But it's a fact of life your ass is gonna hafta get realistic about. See this business is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherfuckers. Motherfuckers who thought their ass would age like wine. If you mean it turns to vinegar, it does. If you mean it gets better with age, it don't.

ridiculous

I knew you'd have some bitch ass excuse for losing, but the fact is... no matter what a loss is a loss and something you should get used to doing. Like I said before, my team (and I) may suck, but you're 1-4 which STILL makes me SUCK less than your team (and I'm sure you if you know what I mean).

Last night was CRAZY, I tell ya! We finally made it to the Reserve at around 11p and got our drank on. For the first time in a long time, I actually drank well liquor. I'm not as hung over as I thought I'd be. D-Lo bought Justin a boobie cake with his girlfriends face on it. It was hilarious that the piece every guy had was from the boobs. Nobody ate her face. =( We finished the night with a shot of patron and I don't remember much after that. I have a nice set of bruises on my arms and back, so I probably fell.

Texas is crazy about football. The Texans are playing like we are used to seeing and the Cowboys are playing like the dynasty they used to be. My fantasy skills have diminished this year as I have 2nd to last coach rating. Loser. I have made soo much tea for my bbq that if noone drinks tea, I'll be caffenated for a year! I can't wait to eat and play in the pool!!! I will also post a pic of that cake, it's interesting.

We were supposed to go to yoga this afternoon, but we are going to the pool instead. I hope I don't look like a dried up prune when I'm 40! I'm not sure what our plans are tonight, but Bayfest is on the top of my list. In case you don't know, which most of you don't, Bayfest is a festival on the bay (duh) much like a carnival. There are scores of horrible calorie ridden food to devour, and tons of rides to lose those calories on. You can get your face painted, basically... you get to be a child again! Doesn't it sound grand?!?!

I am so fucking tired, I can't believe it. After work we headed to Rockit's and then Vernon's. They rushed me so I didn't get to finish ONE BEER. I hate the full moon, it's too crazy. I need an effin nap and I think I'm going to have some bbq later. Okay, if this is too random for you, sorry.. I'm too tired to think in a stream. I want to go shopping, but I'm too damned tired. Alright, I'm done with this. t2uL.
