the BIG 3-ten

Lifestyle
The other day I made my first reference to my next big birthday, 30! OMG I can't believe I'm already thinking of 30! WTF! I remember being 16 and saying the perfect age was 22. And I just celebrated my 25th. Sheesh. WOW. Here's how the scenario went. I was in the shower, just doing some idle shower thinking (I tend to come up with some novel ideas and premises while showering). And I thought of getting Lasik, and I said "I'll get Lasik for my 30th birthday gift to myself" Like, it wasn't even a second thought. I'm miffed. It's official. I'm old. When did this happen? I didn't even get nostalgic when I referenced it. It didn't hit me until 3 days later when I mentioned it to…

don’t fall victim

Lifestyle
This is something I typed on my BlackBerry and emailed to myself. I do write, it just sometimes gets lost in the sauce of things in my email. I'm trying to set it up where I can just email in a post, because the Wordpress for Blackberry app wasn't doing it for me ... anywho .. There are people in the world who like to try to tap holes into your wall of security so that they may prey on those newly formed insecurity pockets... I kid you not. Now, this can be in work, relationships or even friendships. For example... I'm pretty happy in general with my life, its not perfect nor is it problem free, but I happen to love it,  flaws and all. Enter old-flame. (If you want…

Man on the Moon Presents :You ain’t from Russia, so why are you Rush-in’?¿?¿

Lifestyle
It’s been a long time, I shouldn’t’ve left you. . . yep shouldn’t’ve. I’ve always been a fan of pointing out obvious errors and idiotic moments that most people miss. So imagine how I felt the first time I heard about the prepaid Visa card, or as it is better known by my constituents as, “The Rush Card.” For those of you who don’t know what a Rush Card is, it is a Prepaid Visa card endorsed by Russell “Def Jam” Simmons. What exactly does it do? Well, I’m glad you asked. The Rush Card allows you to put your money on a card so you can have access to it whenever you need it and it’s better than a bank account because you can only spend what you have…

Welcome to the new (texting) era

Lifestyle
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,…

Life without Internet!

Life without Internet!

Lifestyle
Life without the internet is torture. Yes, I said it! I can live without cable, and I can live without phone, but the internet? Never! Maybe its because everything on TV can be found online, and probably first too! Or maybe its the whole, "I'm living in a time of instant gratification" idealogy that we've grown so accustomed to? Either way, the truth of the matter is that this. I, Cleo Sunshine, have a firm addiction to the internet. It's usefulness is beyond measure. My sanity is dependent upon my connection to the world wide web. Oh, and make no mistake, not just any internet will do. I have spent the last few days vying for signal on an open network somewhere in my development, its unreliable-ness is just as…

New ways to scam college students!

Lifestyle
Newest Scam for college kids: being target for "illegal downloads. " An apparently bogus collections agency that sent out letters to Bucknell students demanding $500 to settle the students' alleged illegal downloads. Seriously! That's crazy. Imagine that 10 people actually paid that $500. That's an easy 5k for some scammer. TAX FREE!!! And who is really going to contest that email they get about illegally downloading something? Scam!! It's a scary word and a scary practice. Scammers are ruthless, they don't care how they get you, as long as they get you.  And as time goes on, those scams just get more elaborate. Other scams for college Student's are pretty common: Fake scholarship promises, crazy student loans, diploma mills, and other websites that sell you cheating supplies (which is just…

OMG!! Real life Final Destination

Lifestyle
HOLY COW!!! I woke up to this news story: An Italian woman who arrived to the airport late for the fatal Air France flight 447 has died in a car accident, according to ANSA news agency. Johanna Ganthaler, a pensioner from the Bolzano-Bozen Province (South Tyrol, Italy) and her husband, Kirk, were on vacation in Brazil and missed flight 447 after arriving to the airport late. They were able to board a later flight and avoided being victims of the horrible crash. The couple rented a car in Munich, Germany and decided to drive home to Italy. On their way home, while driving through Kufstein, Austria, their car ended up in the opposite lane and they had a head on collision with a truck. The woman died at the hospital…

Leggings are NOT club wear…

Lifestyle
UGH. Why must people ruin a good thing? I love a pair of leggings on a relaxing day. Rock them with a tunic and some flip flops and its all good. Or on a day when its raining so you can just throw on the rain boots and keep it moving. LOVE THEM!And even sometimes on my super skinny girlfriends they have rocked them out  @ the club or some other even and looked adorable.  But let's be honest, leggings + club = FAIL! You just don't do it, or if you do it do it right... Exhibit A: HATED IT!!! Homegirl has on like 3 different tones & materials. What's with the random brown band in the midriff area? Sequins &  Satin? Seriously? I do know those are Steve…

Men, please exercise foot care!

Lifestyle
Men, foot care is not just a female worry, so even if you don't go and let a professional do it please take the time do it yourself. I know there are some stigmas and stereotypes that surround men who go out and get pedicures, but I say damn all that. Some straight guys say its a "homo" thing to do.. but how do they figure. Pedicures  come with a foot and lower leg massage, full nail care, callus treatment, and moisturizing so unless your getting some nail polish I don't see how that makes it in any way gay. I mean, most men enjoy a nice massage, sooo... what's the problem.. Here is where this thought began to ruminate, just so you don't think I'm coming out of left…

Recession Jobs: Instant Glory-WRITE A TELL-ALL!

Lifestyle
Everyone is always trying to be a star or some sort of "celebrity" to gain fame. What is America's obsession with instant fame? And why do us non-famous people feed into the madness? I have been ruminating on the idea of everyone wanting to be a celebrity for about a week now and then it re-emerged today while listening to the radio, so when that happens I have to share my thoughts, I mean it would be WRONG not to, right?? If you don't believe that everyone wants to be a pseudo-celebrity all you  have to do is look on Myspace and see everyone with hundreds of pics (half of them in their bathroom mirror) with captions like "please stop hating" or "you know you want it" and further proof…

Pontiac No More?

Lifestyle
GM is said to be cutting the Pontiac Line. I can't believe this. I officially think the people over at GM are idiots! How can you cancel the Pontiac line, but keep them big ass gas guzzling SUVs? Grand Ams are some HOOTTT cars & the Grand Prix isn't too shabby itself.  I mean, come on, look at the body on that car. I wanted one of these so bad when they first released.  *sigh* This guy I had a crush on in high school, he used to have one of these. He used to look so sexy driving it, and all the young girls (myself included) would idly lust after him in the way that only teenage girls can. I wonder what ever happened to him.... Now, this comes…

Sims 3: PUSHED BACK!!!!

Lifestyle
OH NO! I heard this weekend that Sims 3 wasn't being released until June.  I knew this was a lie, because all the information I had said Febuary.  So imagine my shock when I found out it indeed was pushed back. I am fuming angry! I was ready for some new Sim-adventures!!!BLOODY HELL!! I found this info on another blog, simworldnews, that they are pushing it back for better marketing.  BLASPHEMY I tell you! This is wretched (this is my new favorite word).  I probably wasn't going to actually buy the Sims for a few months because of budget reasons, but I wanted to read about it, talk to others who played it, and pretty much oogle it and give them time to work out any kinks.  I'm extremely sad.…
