“Love never claims: it ever gives” – Ghandi
There are some people I follow on Twitter for their quotes. Every morning @Kay4NJ drops jewels that either make it to facebook statuses or saved in my Blackberry for later use … She rocks. The people she retweet (s) rock … And of course the originators of the quotes rock as well.
Rock. Rock on.

When I work out at the gym, I like to get a treadmill between 2 TVs. I like one screen to have CNN American Morning on and the other to have Good Morning America? Why? I feel like I’m getting both my national and local news all in one shot. Being that there is no sound, I don’t feel like one is interrupting the other. I can get the headlines I want to go look into further at work. So, the point of this was there was a CNN story this morning was about texting addictions and teens. 3/4 of 12 to 17 year olds have cellphones, up from 45 percent in 2004. That is RIDIC in my opinion. WOW!!
The average teen is sending 50 texts a day. Girls, obviously, texting more than boys. This was like ehh, whatever to me. But it made me think of the good old art of passing notes in class. Why was this the correlation? Because these 12-17 year olds are in school all day and thats what we did in school when it was my day. Sure, you u can be more stealthy sending a quick text in class, and its great, hopefully noiseless. But can you refer back to those texts 10 years later ?? Being the pack rat that I am, I still have some old school notes in a shoe box somewhere. Whenever I’m packing up to move I come across this box (which is sooo hard to part with) and I get nostalgic reading those letters. I laugh at the sheer trivial-ness and blasphemy of it all. You cannot do that with texts. These kids/teens are missing out. SERIOUSLY!!!
Flicking a match on my old yellowing papers will rid me of them quickly. Some of my friends don’t even know I have these letters. One day we’ll have a drunken ladies night, reminiscing over bad high school crushes and horrible ideas.
What phone/server is storing messages for years? What if you lose your phone. Also noted, texts are NEVER truly destroyed. If the cops/feds/super hackers reeaaalllyy wanted they could get incriminating texts. Someone may have saved the convo to email (*ahem Tiger’s hoes*) and they can come back to haunt you, but that’s not the same as these nostalgic letters.
The sad thing about this is that these frequent texters aren’t going to get any better as they get older. Don’t get me wrong, my blackberry is *almost* always in my hand and BBM is a way of life, but I still can socialize. I still know how to say ‘hello can I speak to —–” if I call somewhere vs “hey” from always calling cells. We’ve alll heard my gripes about people who communicate only via text. if you have my #. Use it

So.. Valentine’s day is OVER!! Raise your hand if your single and survived it without suicidal thoughts! !*fist bump*
Hopefully all you lovers out there didn’t receive one of these gifts off yahoo’s Worst Valentine’s Gifts 2010 edition. I can’t give the whole list, but some of the funnier ones
1. A coupon for any kind of love?? As they said in the article “why withold the love??”
2. Self-Help Books – Nothing says I love you like “how to get overcome your past mistaks”
3. Romantic Facebook Gifts: It’s real love when he sends an E-ballon and flowers for all your friends to see… LOL
4. Cashmere toilet paper: uummm… who the hell really gave this gift? Where did you find it? Please avoid all bathroom gifts!
5. Office supplies– “my BF went to London and all i got was this stupid pen” yeah.. that would suck for Valentine’s day ..
I guess it is better to be single than have to deal with crappy gifts and half hearted Hallmark created holidays. It’s only really fun and good when the person is good to you all year and they take the time to go the EXTRA mile. Than can be a woman doing it for her man or vice versa. I’d rather just wait patiently.

EW!! BARF!!! GROSS!! What in the sam hell kinda fuckery is this??? Are people really THIS obsessed with bacon?? Like Seriously??
Bacon MMmvelopes???
The same people who bought you Baconnaise (EW!! BARF!! GROSS!!) have decided the world needs another use for bacon. Because this is what is wrong with the world, not enough uses for pork fat. From their site:
“Technology has given us a lot lately. The car. TV. X-rays. The refrigerator. The Internet. Heck, we even cured polio. But what have our envelopes tasted like for the last 4,000 years? Armpit, that’s what.
Really, people? If we can’t overcome this kind of minor technical challenge, it’s only a matter of time until some super-advanced race of aliens with lasers, spaceships and a delicious federal mail system comes down and colonizes the world. And nobody wants that (except for the aliens, of course).
So, after thousands of years and kajillions of horrible tasting envelopes licked, we’re happy to report that J&D’s Bacon-Flavored Mmmvelopes™ are here to save the day. No longer will envelopes taste like the underside of your car. You can enjoy the taste of delicious bacon instead.
That’s right, bacon. It’s not real bacon, mind you, so you won’t have to start storing your envelopes in the refrigerator. But it really does taste like bacon. Which is what you really wanted in the first place, isn’t it? And it only took us 4,000 years to get there. Eat that, alien invaders.”
Who the hell still uses envelopes anyway?? I mean, any bill I send in an envelope comes in an already addressed envelope from the company requesting it. And everythig except my rent can be paid online, and that will be available soon. And I’m sure the 95 yr old lady who still mails in her requests for her life bracelet isn’t really thinking of the flavor of her envelope. ANNNDDD who buys envelopes you have to lick when they have the self-adhesive ones??? #imjustsaying.
I found this in my dialy hungrygirl.com email – you can check it out HERE

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!

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.

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!

I had said that the thing I hate most about this time of year were the TOp XXXXX List’s you’ll see appearing everywhere. But I neglected to mention there is an exception to that: Time’s Top 10 Lists. There are so many to choose from! They have list for the Top 10 Albums to the Top 10 Worst Business Deals. I LOVE Time magazine’s lists, even the few they do during the course of the year.
I think for the next few weeks I’m going to highlight a few of these lists, starting with Today’s Top 10 T-Shirt Worthy Slogans. After all, who doesn’t love a mildly politically and socially amusing Tee??
Kanye’s MTV debacle isn’t going to die anytime soon. It’s just not. It’s going to be funny for a long time. Deal with it!
Tiger just made the 2009 lists. He is definitely having the quickest fall from grace. Is this Golf’s biggest scandal ever??
I can imagine this to be true!
For the rest of the Top 10 T-Shirt Worthy Slogans check them out HERE. I am coming back tomorrow with another list. What should it be? Top 10 Albums or Top 10 Tweets. I’m kind of gearing towards the Top 10 Tweets!

A.I (Allen Iverson for the novices!) retired! Oh no!! Well, here’s some career choices he can follow up with.

Happy Election Day! I hope everyone went out to vote in their local elections! These are the MOST important, and many fail to realize that!
Happy Quarter Century to my BFF forever!! Love you sister girl!
And now on with the flow!
Prelude: Chris, baby, What are you wearing.. I hope this is a rough sketch. Don’t be a part of the skinny jeans epidemic!!Or even so, I could get over that, but this album cover has no cohesiveness. You can’t have the punk rocker guitar skinny jean look, spraying those little bugs with that little can of RAID. The graffiti should be bigger & bolder, and lose the shades!!
1. AHH!! The epidemic of hysteria regarding Swine Flu totally has flown right over my head. I don’t get hysteric about too much of anything, and this is one of them. I have never had a flu shot, nor do I really plan to get one now. Swine or otherwise. And frankly, I’m tired of hearing about it. I loved this blog on it! Check out Kimmie!
2. Seriously? Rihanna is Woman of the Year? What has she done beside walk around dressed like a hooker enjoying the sympathy given to her by the people who think she was “victim” of domestic violence. Her style? Credit her stylist. Her songs- credit Ne-Yo and the Dream. What a waste of page space. Seriously Glamour – Do Better. (via egotisticegotism)
3.I too LOVE Tim Burton. Him & Johnny Depp make sweet melodies I always enjoy. They do no wrong to me! I’d never seen any of this stuff though. I feel like I just got my Christmas Gift!
4. This was dope. Boys 12 as young as 12 saying they don’t like black girls really. The situation isn’t dope, but her experience and relating to it was great. A long, but worthwhile read if you as me. Part 1 | Part 2
I have a few more things I might save for later, I need to read it over a little more thoroughly! Hope you enjoy!
And don’t forget: GO VOTE!!

At first I was just going to post a few of the lines that I felt were inspirational to me, but then I decided I’d be doing everyone a disservice by that. So here it is, the Desiderata. There is some debate about whether this actually was first discovered in a church in 1692. After a little digging on the internets, I decided the folks at snopes.com were reliable enough, and they said NO! Apparently it was written in 1927 by Max Ehrmann. Enjoy
