Fret not my lovers!!! I have not quit this gig yet! My postings always slack when I enter the busy season at my full-time job. Much apologies! It also doesn’t help that I’ve been feeling completely and utterly dull lately. I’m in a life rut! But things go on..
I have a confession. Please don’t judge. Lately I’ve been clocking waaayy too many hours of the Disney channel for someone with no kids. But Phineas & Ferb and Wizards of Waverly Place always draw me in! And when nothing else is on, they reallly hit the spot. And then I was in NYC yesterday and crossed Waverly Place! I almost went looking for the Subway Sub Shop. Its true I’m a real geek at heart, and even though I think Disney breeds little child star freaks, they are good for kids.The kids who work for Disney act, sing, dance, do stand up comedy and wash your car. They are little work slaves … and their bank accounts reflect that! I wish my parents sold me to Disney. *wishful thinking* I could be rolling in the Disney dough!!
I also from time to time watch Nickelodeon shows, like Danny Phantom and Fairly OddParents, but I’m starting to feel like I’ve seen every episode. Lately I’ve been feeling like life is emulating entertainment. Nothing interests me. I am seriously just bored with everything. I haven’t even wanted to blog about shoes. SHOES!!! You know how much I love shoes, so this is serious!!I have even stopped using Twitter as much as I used to, because I just don’t feel like I have anything interesting to say. Something has definitely got to give! Stay with me though, I am actively working to change that!
I saw this and had to share. It reminded me of a quote on last year’s work calendarL “Always remember you’re unique … Just like everybody else.” I always found that amusing. You should too!
Meet Roxxxy, she’s more than just a blow up doll, she is a “robot girlfriend” *side eye*
Have you seen Lars & the Real Girl, starring Ryan Gosling? I suggest you go watch that movie, then come back and read about Roxxxy- a sex robot that will carry on simple conversations with you. And you can choice from different personalities like Frigid & Wild Wendy. WOW! I”m sorry, please just kill me if I get that desperate.
OH, and you will definitely pay for this experience: $7,000-9,000 <<WWAHHHAATTTT!!
Interesting sign, right?? Thoughts? How would you feel if you were to encounter this neighborhood? Little known, ultra-orthodox Jews, also known as Haredim, make up roughly 10% of the population.
Maybe the name Patricia Field isn’t a household name for you ( it definitely isn’t for me!) but you may have seen her purse in some released photos from the upcoming Sex and the City 2 move? maybe?
Well, Patricia Field for Keith Haring (*insert confused face*) has a line of limited edition plastic magazine clutches. I love them! I think they are soooo cute and fun and bright. What better way to dress up a dull work wardrobe!
Cost: 80 bucks
Hotness: 4 outta 5 stars
***Update***
I had no idea who Keith Haring was (hence the inserted confused face), but my homegirl Tamiah hit me and let me know Keith Haring was an artist from the 80′s who created that look. He died in the 1990. The crawling baby was his signature. See, we learn something new all the time! And I guess I could have Wikipedia’d him before posting, but learning this way was much more effective!
In the back of my closet there is (and don’t judge me) a pair of Lucite heels .. they didn’t cost nearly as much as this Fendi pair of heels, so imagine my shock when I saw stripper shoes could be so damn expensive.
These Fendi Khaki colored wrap / platform sandals are making my heart melt. that 2 inch platform takes some practice to walk on, its not for the weak. Trust me! And the heel, is listed at six inches. UM.. WHAT?? Nina Garcia says you shouldn’t go over 4. I break that rule often, but SIX?? I’ll eye from afar.
The FF logo is on the lucite platorm, and they will cost you $1553. Wow.
I am still on the fence about these Caged Boots I’ve been seeing all around. Something is just off about them, I guess its the whole . . . shell thing?? But the shape and height of these boots is making me drool. I think I kinda love them! You know I’m a SUCKER for the platform.

Seriously though? Imagine getting this email from a REPUTABLE source? I.e. your job’s discount program:
Some pet owners feel bad for leaving their furry friend at home all day with nothing to do. PetMobility is offering a solution, cell phones for dogs. After one ring the phone connects the owner with their pooch and they can begin chatting away.
WTF??? And there is more:
The PetsCELL™ is the first voice enabled waterproof GPS cell phone optimized for animals. It will be available for commercial distribution early in 2008 and consumer distribution in mid 2008.
HHmmmm… Here’s the link to their direct site: Pets Mobility I swear, some shit just can’t be made up!
It’s been awhile since I did Spreading Sunshine .. But I’m back like I never left!! On with the show!!!
I know, I know, enough with all the 2009 stuff already, but its just that so many people wrote some really cool lists. And this is the first SS of 2010!! And I do enjoy lists ever so much. I make them all the time and never do a thing on them! So you, like me, must indulge in some of this hilarious (and true) lists!
All of these sites are firsts for me. And they all bought something worth sharing on my cherry popping experience with them. I will visit again, and you should too! Especially to number 3. I love seeing things from a male point of view.
1. The 12 Biggest Pop Culture fails of 2009. Believe it or not, Balloon Boy is pop culture! This list was great, and had good honorable mentions! Read It! 2. Resolutions for You, Me, & Them. Because not only was it hilarious, it was so true! We can all rest now that we know that we aren’t alone in thinking 50 cent needs to step back. (or maybe that was just me?) Also noted here are resolutions for Lil’ Wayne : get a vasectomy. Quite humorous. Enjoy!
3. This one isn’t a list so much, but it was a fantastic read on how Sex is the ultimate compliment. You should be offended by someone who doesn’t want to have sex with you. I thought this piece was well written and entertaining!
I am indebted forever to @Hail_Mary_Jane for posting this video on twitter! I have been laughing at it ever since Sunday night, and I haven’t partaken in any Mary Jane! I swear, if you need to laugh, see below!
“If you’re 16 and in Michigan I’ll Fcuk ya!!!!” – Classic! Who is this kid??
Every year I look forward to the Rap up from Skills ( or Mad Skills as he formerly was known as) or is it Skillz (with a Z??) and every year I’m highly rewarded by use play on the current events. This year.. not so much. Ehh, decide for yourself..
New Year, New ME? Isn’t that what you’ve heard all week (and the last 3 weeks of 20009?) or the fact that people were leaving the past in the last decade? If you’re like me you’ve made the same resolution ten year in a row: save money, do x, and don’t do Y. And why? So we can later count our failures as we transition to the next year, and vow to do the same things over and over again?
But that’s not to knock the significance of the idea of a New Year Resolution, because to some it really is a chance to start with a clean slate. Sometimes someething may happen on New Years Eve’s Eve and you realize that you want to leave that in the past. Don’t dwell on it in the New Year, and that is what your resolution is. And it’s freaking GREAT if you can actually do it. Personally, I take the time during the year to reflect on what needs to be changed. But it’s a matter of actually doing it. In December I bought a Planner. I said I’m going to get my life more organized in 2010, but that was because that’s when the Planner started.
As we entered the new year, I vowed to take Mr. West’s advice and “Go on a living spree.” I want a year life that is full of great experiences and memories with great people. What good will it be if I lived my life and all I could remember was that I retired early at 47 and didn’t have any fun? I have made some tangible goals for the 2010 year:
1. Get into Grad School - This means taking the Graduate Record Exam. I don’t want to do it, mainly because I don’t want to have to pay $170 to take a standardized test that’s going to tell me how I fall along the range of average intelligence. I don’t believe the hype that says standardized test are an accurate measure of intelligence. But I need to build a bridge and get the eff over my personal issues and take them. Then pay the graduate school a fee for them to review my credentials to accept me. I’d be devastated not to get in.
2. Write more – not just here. Writing in general, which is to include short stories, poems, papers, whatever the heck strikes me. Music Guides me and words inspire me.
3. Read more non-fiction – at least 1 per month that doesn’t include a book for class.
4. Prioritize – pretty much, get off the internets all damn day. Yeah, I have a problem. Needs help.
5. Be more family oriented – I’ve been trying for the past year. I’m an only child, who’s not close to her mom, so sometimes I really just don’t care about family events and all those good things. But this year I’ve spent Thanksgiving and Christmas with my family, went out with a cousin for her birthday, and got myself a (future) god-child. They say family is all you’ve got, so let’s see . .
All in all these aren’t “New Year Goals” they are life goals, because each one will put me on the path to living life to the fullest. Do you have any (NON) New Year’s Resolutions?
I wanted to post this because every time I turn on the news someone is blaming BHO for the travesty that is the Health Care Reform Bill (or ACT, whatever). And I think people forget that the people who are editing and making it what it is are our senators & congressmen. People- Know where to point blame. All I’m saying.
And who doesn’t love a throwback to a School House Rock video??
