One more update

A few weeks ago I developed a sore throat. That lead to a nice little fever (surprisingly not high like I usually get). Which lead to a stuffy nose and a cough. Well, now everything is all cleared up except the cough. I can't do anything. Laughing included. I just start coughing and coughing.

This unfortunate circumstance how forced me out of the Las Vegas Ragnar. It's really sad. I've been training sense July. Oh, and it's Vegas.

Oh well, there is nothing that I can do. What a bummer. Hopefully, the That's What She Said team will take lots of pictures.

Go team! T-minus 4 days.

Marlboro Man’s Second Favorite Sandwich

So for dinner tonight I wanted something a simple and tasty. Because difficult and gross doesn't seem worth it to me. =) In trying to improve my cooking repertoire my cool boss has directed me to a couple of food websites that have some awesome recipes.


Tonight, my recipe comes from The Pioneer Woman. As the title of my post suggest the recipe is called "Marlboro Man’s Second Favorite Sandwich." I've made the first favorite before. And while is was good, it is fattening.

The green stuff is avocado. I like avocados so there you go. This turned out really well. I was really happy how good it turned out. Hence the pictures. Thanks Pioneer Woman!

Kanye Interruptus

*Jaw drops* Well, I think that is your personally opinion there Kanye. Some people are so rude. Do you think that he would continue to interrupt people if someone punched him in the face when he tries it again? Sometimes it is surreal how rude people have become, there's just no common courtesy anymore. But if you want Kanye to interrupt you then go here.

I Pledge....

Okay, even though I would like to I don't get very politically here. Politically topics always lead to arguments because nobody agrees 100% on anything. Personally I hate all politicians and think we need term limits for Congress members. I think if we start running things on more local levels things would actually get done.

Anyway, the reason for my posting is this YouTube video that has been shown in some schools. I've seen a couple of videos like it, but not this one. It's called "I, Pledge." The video is made by the BO administration and it features many celebrities talking about how they pledge to do some nice for others or good for the Earth. Whatever, haven't we all been told we should be nice. (Until we realize that people suck and no one is as nice as they seem.)

I have two major problems with the video. First, is all the celebrities. I have no respect for celebs. They are all immoral hypocrites. Even though I know it happens and will always happen I don't think it is right for kids to worship them. This video is just reaffirming that sad reality. Don't get me wrong, it's okay to like the "work" they "do," but idol worship is a bit much. I believe that parents need to teach their children this. I know responsibility is hard, but isn't that one of the challenges of being a parent? Why not try and get parents involved in making a I, Pledge video?

Secondly, I have a very big problem when during the course of the video a couple of the celebs pledge to serve Barack Obama. That is exactly what they said: "I pledge to serve Barack Obama." I find this disturbing. No one should every pledge to serve any politician. You can pledge to serve your country or your fellow man, but never one person. Would you pledge to serve George W. Bush? Hell, no. And no one would have put up with that if it was said a year or more ago. This is no better than my in-laws neighbors telling them they have an obligation to serve the LDS church because they were baptized. You shouldn't have to be manipulated to believe in something. Irritating.

Don't be nice because a politician or celebrities tell you to. Be a good person because it's the decent thing to do.

Pledge to educate yourself , through school and independently.
Pledge to be aware of what is going on around you.
Pledge to respect others and others' opinions even when you disagree with them. (Yeah, that's a hard one.)
Pledge to listen.
And always pledge to be your best.

Movie Weekend.

Go movies! I love movies. So what better way to spend a otherwise dull weekend than to go see several movies.



On Saturday night I went with cool boss to see The Time Traveler's Wife. I liked it. This movie is about a man who skips around in time and the woman he loves. It makes me want to read the book now to see if I get the same feelings that I hade with the movie. (Side note: I really love books.) How can I explain it? The movie is not fast paced, but it's not slow either in terms of plot development. The one thing that felt odd was from the relationship between the characters and how it felt like you were jumping into the middle of the relationship instead of seeing it develop. Other than that, well besides how worldly a six year old girl is, I thought the movie was very nice for a chic flick. Oh and seeing Eric Bana in the buff isn't too bad either. =)



Right after the movie, guess what we did? Saw another one. This time we went to see Julie and Julia. If you don't know, this movie is about the famous chef Julia Child and how she learn to perfect the art of cooking French cusine and publish a book for Americans about said art. And it's also tales the tale of a woman named Julie who wrote of cooking her way through Child's book over the course of a year. She started it as a blog then published a book. I really liked this movie. It was extremely cute and filled with witty charm. Both Amy Adams and Meryl Streep did an amazing job. I have heard of some people not caring too much for the back and forth of when the movie switches from Julie to Julia. I didn't mind this. I thought it flowed nicely. The scenes in some way or another related so you could make an easy comparison.

I find it amazing when someone can come up with an idea like that and come out on top. It makes me jealous. I want to be that creative. Do you ever worry that you're not good enough to do what you love?

Continuing on......

On Sunday, the hubby and myself decided to go see District 9. A new sci fi movie in which aliens get stuck on Earth and trouble ensues. Kudos to the director of this movie. It had the gritty feel that some news stories have without seeming cheesy. The lead actor played the part well. This is not a hero movie. You know, where the lead character goes out and defeats the bad aliens. District 9 is not black and white like that. I would reccomend this movie if you are into sci fi or action. Violence (awesome, but a lot) and swearing gave it an R rating.

So it was a good movie weekend. Yay!

Cirque du Soleil

So tonight me and the hubby went to see Cirque du Solei: Saltimbanco at the E Center. First, let me say it was an awesome show. Very bright and colorful and humorous. Personally I liked the one we saw in Vegas better. That one was called Mystre. It seemd that the latter had more acerobatics than Saltimbanco. This show was still had me in a wonderous awe though. It's just incredible what these people can do! They speak in French, but I think it adds to the ambiance. Unless, of course, you understand French then you can understand what they say.

I love the costumes, they have so much piazz and mystery. We were in the front row on the floor, which can be a dangerous place. Dangerous meaning you may be chosen to participate in an activity. So what might happen is they could shake your hand or goof with you a little bit or they might bring you on stage (this is usually just one person). Well if you know me, you know that the idea of being the center of attention freaks me the hell out. Luckily enough, I was not chosen. So if you don't want that, then sit higher up. Actually that reason aside, I think I would sit higher up next time because you don't have to crane your neck as much.

If you haven't seen a Cirque du Soleil show, I highly recommend it.

Only downside to the evening was when we pulled into the E Center parking lot. These jerk-offs want $10 for parking! I couldn't believe it. How ridculous. Didn't the taxpayer pay for this arena? And now they are basically trying to force people to go through Ticketmaster to buy tickets. Ticketmaster charged me a Building Facility Charge of $3 per ticket, a Convenience Charge of $12.90 per ticket and a Order Processing Charge of $5.10. So that is a grand total of $36.90 in charges. And why is Ticketmaster charging a Building Facility Charge? Haven't we already paid for the building? And should the people performing the show pay for using the building?

My suggestion, don't use Ticketmaster if you can help it. That's what I'm going to do from now on. These venues charge you to death and then they wonder why nobody buys anything.

But go see a Cirque du Soleil show. =)

Does it get any easier?

So last year I started running because cool boss talked me into doing the Wastach Back Ragnar Relay. Let me clarify one small detail: before March 2008 the last time I did any real running was about 16 years ago, you know, when I was 12 or so. What I'm trying to say is that I'm not a runner. I will admit to not being consistant (again, not a real runner) and I sucked when "running" the Ragnar Relay. Now when I say "running" I mean a combination of walking and jogging. I am also slow, meaning I'm pushing about 15 minute miles.

This year, because I again decided to do the Ragnar Relay (yes, I am crazy) I wanted to try and do a little better. It's not about winning, it's about finishing. Anyway, I started working out and taking a mixture of fitness classes, which includes Step, Pilates, Cycling and Power Tone. I really liked all the classes and I believe those classes have helped me. I also was running. So this year I have been able to run up to a mile before I have to walk. For me, that is a big improvement. I felt like I did better this year and was pretty consistant.

Where is this going, you might ask. Well, we decided to sign up for the Las Vegas Ragnar Relay (did I mention we are crazy?). In preparation for this my husband has began helping me train. He did this last year also, but didn't get the chance before the first Ragnar Relay this year because he was recovering from surgery. His patience is amazing. Isn't is incredible how one person can how so much influence over you (in a good way)? Today and yesterday I have gone about a mile and a quarter before walking.

In explaining all of this I have one question.: Does it get any easier? It feels like I'm not making any process. I am not a natural runner. Running in this heat is also very difficult I don't know how some people do it. I don't plan on doing any marathons, but if I could run a 5k I woukld be pleased. One problem is that in order to do this I need to be motivated (I also accepted bribes). Meaning I have to run with someone else (e.g. husband, friends) or else I just can't get into it. It's a bad personality flaw I know, but until reading becomes a form of exercise then that's what I got to go on.

But really, does it get any easier?

Cake Pops

So for a belated birthday treat my cool boss made me some cute little cake pops. Cake pops, what are those you ask? Well, you take a little cake, mix it with some frosting, coat it with more frosting and put it on a stick. They are so cute and yummy. And I have pictures. Oh, she discovered the idea from this adorable website.

It's Edward!

Because apparently I'm a Star Wars fan. Who knew.

" Oh no, my head is being eaten."

Mmmmmmm, tasty chocolatey brains.

Oh, yeah

I also wanted to add two new shows that I discovered. The first is The Little Couple. It is so cute. It is about a married little person couple. She is only 3'2"! I know she is an adult woman, but she is still so cute! Jen(that's her name) is also a doctor. The show is way neat.



The second show is called Cake Boss. It is like Ace of Cakes, but it is in Boston. It is because of Cake Boss that I have also started watching Ace of Cakes. I love watching them makes all those cool cakes. One day I am going to get a fancy cake like that, because everyone should have one at least once. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the cake makers on Ace of Cakes are high. Maybe they are just WAY relaxed, but I still think they are smokin' a little somethin' somethin'. (If you know what I'm sayin', do you?)

Both of these shows are on TLC.

Found a New Show

So about two weeks ago I was channel surfing because I have a million channels and nothing was on. As I was flipping through I came across the History Channel (usually a good choice) and saw the show "Ice Road Truckers." Now, I know this show has been on for awhile, but before it just didn't seem interesting. So I tuned in to give it a try. And I liked it. It is actually very interesting. Just watching how these drivers tackle the roads in Alaska is intense. I like it and am glad I gave it a try.

I also like Gangland (although each episode is kinda the same). But I think it is in part to the narrator. His voice is very....capitivating.

That is all.

Ragnar Relay 2009

So I survived another year. Yay! I actually liked this year better than last year. Even though it rained (it did make for nice running weather). Van 1 was awesome. My teammates were hilarious. Even my leg was better. So I have gathered some photos of are little adventure, please to enjoy.

This first picture is at the starting line. The girl in the blue shorts is our first runner. We call her K1:

Update(7/1/09): As cool boss reminded me, K1 was also known as Ms. Right?. Reason being A6 was always asking (sarcastically) if he remembered her name correctly. So funny.

The second picture is our second runner, Meg. Awww, no fancy nickname for her. She kicked ass.

Next is our third runner (yeah, I can count), Jessi. Look at that beautiful scenery.

Here goes our fifth runner, J5. See fancy nickname. Now you may be thinking, "Hey, I thought you could count. I do believe a 4 comes after 3." Well, fear not I am aware that the fourth runner is missing. That fourth runner is me. And there is not a picture of me running. That would be cruel to force on the masses, such an image that would be.

Update(7/1/09): I didn't really mention how my running went. Well my first one was a little hot, it was also my longest one. I was able to do a mile before I had to start walking. Yay me! I also had a hill, which wasn't too bad. My second run was at night. So it was nice and cool. Flat as flat could be. The only issue was when I had cars coming toward me their headlights would ruin my night vision. Again I went about a mile before I had to stop. Hey, I never said that I was a runner runner. My third leg (yay last one) was down hill. Awesome. It was also raining, which I don't have a problem running in the rain. How refreshing it was. And I did a mile straight. Overall, I had a good time. Van 1 rocked, well, the van.

A6 is our last runner in Van 1. Wow, he was good. He just kept on trucking. Our van rocked!

And this last picture is after our team crossed the finish line. It was cold, rainy and we were all tired. BUT, we did it! Go team! Three of our teammates were not able to finish with us. *shakes head* For shame.

Next year it's Team That's What She Said.

Las Vegas Ragnar anyone?

Weekend

Awesome weekend! I love when that happens. So on Friday I went with my cool boss and her sister (as it was said sister's birthday, yay!) to see Joel McHale. If you don't know him, he is the host of "The Soup" on E!. (Not "Talk Soup" mind you) He has also famously starred in "Spiderman 2," "CSI: Miami" and "Pushing Daisies." He is so damn funny! And really nice. I saw him last year at Wiseguys and he took time after each show to sign and pose for pictures. That picture I got with him then didn't turn out as well because I used a cell phone and didn't have a flash. But as you will see below this time the picture is a lot better. He is kind of raunchy. I think it's funny when they do that. It's like they have to be good on tv so they go crazy when they perform on stage. Although I don't think anyone is as crazy as Bob Saget. That guy is filthy, it is quite hilarious.


He also signed a t-shirt. I need to get a picture of that and put in on here.


On Saturday, we went out to a movie, "The Hangover." It was freakin' awesome. I laugh so much through this movie. Before we went to the movie, the hubby and I went out to dinner at Biaggi's. It's an Italian restaurant. It was quite tasty. I did find something new though. It's called black fettuccine.

I know, crazy! I guess it's just regular fettuccine that uses some type of squid oil(ink?). It's tasteless, but still cool. I mean, it's black! It also had lobster in it. Pretty good. The only bad part was that it had green onions in it. Those damn tiny chopped pieces that stick to everything. Nice place for a good price.

My Little Bro's Wedding

On June 6, 2009 my little brother got married. How sweet. The following are pictures of the blessed event.

This first photo is of the newlyweds exiting the Salt Lake City Mormon Temple where they where married and sealed for (according to the Mormon faith) time and eternity. That is a long time. Hope they really like each other. =)

This next one is a picture of my parents and the bride and groom in front of the actual temple. Apparently the doors you see below are locked and no one goes in or out those. So the couple goes into the doors (above) and gets into the temple that way. So I've been told.

Next we have the "ring ceremony." Do I hear you asking what the hell does that mean? Well, let me enlighten you. It is kind of a new thing that the Mormons do after they get married. If the bride and groom so choose, the gather family and friends who were not able to go into the temple with them and they exchange wedding rings and say a vow type thing to one another. Well, at first I thought it was for us heathens, to say, "hey, look, we did get married." But after sitting through this thing I realized that it is just as religious as if it was held in a church. That is all they talked about; how blessed a couple is to be married in the temple. Wow. I guess my marriage is just a sham. Oh, sorry, but I digress. Moving along...

This picture is of the gigantic wedding cake that my BROTHER pick out. My new sister-in-law didn't care. He is so crazy. But it was delish! (Side note: See boss lady, you could totally do that, practice, practice, practice. You have the talent) It was so pretty. The chocolate was like fudge. It was so rich.

Here, the groom gently feeds his bride. I told him I would beat him if he shoved it in her face. I hate that. It is sooo hickish. Her family was trying to egg her into doing it. Dumb. Wedding dresses have been ruined by doing that.

This is the bride and groom figurines that were choosen. Trust me though, she did not have to drag him. They both were running to the alter.

Me and my hubby. I must say that I loved that dress. It is really cute. I don't know how well I wear it, but I still like it.

A shot of one part of the wedding cake.

This is the pasta salad that I made for the rehearsal dinner. It is pretty yummy if I don't say so myself.

And here is the fruit pizza that I also made for the rehearsal dinner. And it was wonderful. And I'm not the only one who thought so. =P

So there is the day that they waited two years for. Congrat you two.

Tomorrow I'll post about the occurance on the way to the wedding and other happenings.

Night!

And one more thing...

So I, along with cool boss (and others) decided to go running tonight. Why? Because said cool boss is an evil manipulator and talked me into doing the Ragnar Relay again this year. Oh, what is this relay you ask? It's a 12 person team that takes turns running over a 36 hour period for about 180 miles. Oh no, I don't need to be committed, it all real. (see here: http://www.ragnarrelay.com/) But hey, it's fun. So while we were running (walking), it started to rain. And by rain, I mean it freakin' poured! We were soaked. It was hilarious. We'll do awesome!

Garden 2009

This is my garden this year. I don't have pictures of my Snapdragons because they haven't bloomed yet. =( But here we have other flowers and plants. The plants are squash and tomato.











These pictures here are of the birds nest in our cherry tree. Robins, my husband hates them since they like to eat all the cherries. Well, actually, the robins don't fully eat the cherries, it's more like they pick at them and throw them on the gound. Bastards. =) And that is sad because we have some tasty cherries. Yum!





And this is the planter that I am keeping on the porch. For cute! =)

New Moon!

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON trailer

So much crap

And I mean a lot. Why is organizing so difficult? I look at all the stuff I have and sometimes just want to chuck it. Maybe I have a small hording obsession. Not the crazy "I need to buy and keep everything" kind, just I have somethings that I like but I know I'm not using it. (The raptor scene in Jurassic Park freaked me out when I first saw it in theaters. Sorry, I was watching it.) I just get all these little things that are hard to organize.

Does anyone remember when they were a kid and after awhile you would go to look for something and you could never find it? You might have thought that you lost it, but in reality your mom just cleaned out your room while you were away. I know my mom(of course she didn't admit this until years later) did and sometimes I think that would be nice to do. Give someone a list (unless they know you) of what you like and that person goes in -and gets rid of anything not on that list. They have a yard sell(because, hey, we need to make a some cash for our sacrifice) and split it with them. Oh and then go out and buy more crap. =)

Another problem that arises from getting rid of things you no longer need is how to donate usable items. It seems like the more everyone is asking for stuff, the pickier they get. Where I live the main donation center is the DI, short for Deseret Industries. It is run by the Mormon church. That part I don't care about, but lately they will only accept things that are in near mint conditon. I understand not wanting to take garbage, but people have been turned away with things that have just a scratch on it. I shop second-hand stores for cheap products, I don't expect them to be in perfect condition.

On a side not, the above also reminds me of the recycling problem. Everyone wants you to recycle, but no one wants to previde bins. Or if you are lucky enough to find one (like at a school) it only allows newpapers to be put in. I get more junk mail then I do newspaper. I also don't think it should be mandatory either. I don't believe the government should be allowed to force people to pay for a private service, it's just like insurance. But that is an entirely different rant.

Back to my junk problem. So now I am trying to organize one room in order to move stuff in there so my husband and I can finish off our family room. Whew that's bigger than it reads. I would also like to one day redecorate our guest bedroom. I want it to be in a nautical theme. Wish me luck people.

Cleaning away!!!

Death

So here I am. Sitting in a hotel room in Phoenix. It's around midnight. Husband is sleeping.

We are down here because my nephew died. And I have to talk about it. No one here is. First off, I have never seen people deal with death in such a unique way. I think I've heard one mention of him since we've been down here. I know he kinda wanted to fade away, but this is ridiculous. There is no funeral, not even an obit. This is very weird to me. Not bad, just different.

When a family member dies in my family there is usually a viewing and a funeral. During this time there is much talk of the deceased and all the good times that were had. This is throwing me off. Sometimes, being here I get the feeling that I'm not wanted (or is it needed?) here. Like their grief is so private that it is not necessary for me to be here to mourn with them. Does that make any sense?

So because we have literally been just sitting around I've had a lot of time to think. I realized how saddened I am that I have not forged a closer relationship with my sister-in-law. I see her sitting and look sad and want to talk to her, but I don't feel it's my place to do so. I guess I've watched too many TV shows. I always pictured when I got married that if he had a sister we would become a least semi-close. Same with when my brother got married. But that won't be happening either.
See to much time to think.

This sucks. Social guidelines tell me that it is impolite to complain about being bored during a family tragedy. But I am. Well not really bored. I feel trapped. We have just been sitting around the house, watching TV and playing with the dogs. I just can't leave for a little bit and escape. Every time I do, everyone else is tagging along. Like the other day I wanted to go get a pair of sandals (because it's hot here) and I wanted to ask my sister-in-law(and mother-in-law) because I thought it might be nice for her to get out of the house. You know, just the girls getting away. But then my father-in-law and husband decided to tag along. I was shopping for like five minutes before they started complaining. Did they not listen when I said I was going SHOE SHOPPING?

I know I shouldn't be complaining this much in light of this tragedy, but I just feel confined. Confined by the limitations this whole situation has put me in. I feel awful for their loss, I really do. I just feel awkward because I don't know how to act.

We are going home tomorrow. I really want to be in my own bed again.

Wow, look what I can do.

So I am now finding out how to spice up my blog. I know, my words of wisdom are enough, but I thought it might be nice to add visual pleasure. Stay tune for more changes. Maybe I'll even start writing more. =)

Everyone has an opinion

I like Twilight. There I said it. Why do I like? Well it's a vampire book. So what's wrong with that? Why is it a crime to like something for no other reason than you just do?

I find it hilarious that the people who hate Twilight act like they are of superior intelligence. "Twliight is dumb, read something else." These people spout off lengthy(and boring) reasons why Twilight is published diarrhea and not once do I see them telling me to read a physics, math or history book. You know, a book that might actually expand my knowledge.

The primary reason as to why they don't like Twilight is that Bella is a weak woman and Edward is a masochist. I guess they have never seen a romance book. Young adult books are not meant to be literary geniuses. I use to read "Goosebumps" but R.L. Stine. Anyone? All these types of books are there to encourage kids to reads and toy with their imaginations.

They also whine about a Bella sees herself as ugly, even though she is not. Now, how many women are self-conscious about how they look, raise your hands. Exactly, unless you're a narissus. Yeah, it's a bit much, complaining always, but I've been guilty of the same thing. I guess next time I see an anorexic person I'll just tell them to quit whining about how fat they think look.

I don't find reality in books. My parents raise me and taught me most of what I needed to know, not a book. Because if it did then I would be crazy. =) Everyone has opinions (hint: that's why it's an opinion.). I know people won't like this book or probably most others I read and that is their opinion. Go read a book you do like and let me read the ones I like. I don't care if you like a book or not and you can say so, but please don't treat others like they are stupid for liking it. Instead belittle those who watch shows like "The Hills," because that show is retarded and lowers IQs. =)

Ooh, one more additional item. I read a blog post that was critizing Twilight (hence the reason for my post) and the blogger was irritated that Stephanie Meyer never explained why the vampires glitter. Well, it has never been explained in a sufficent manner as to why other vampires burn in the sun. I Am Legend did make an attempt. You might site religious reasons, but that would be faulty logic considering not ever vampire is replused by a cross.

Okay, I am finished. I better not trip getting off my soapbox this time.

Damn taxes, stupid governement

I know all of us who actually pay taxes, hate it with a passion. For the second year in a row of the five years we have been married, my husband and I had to PAY taxes. No rebate for us. So on top of the taxes that are removed from our paychecks we had to pay more. For what? Nothing. Just so the government can steal more money from us and give to others. So why all these "advocates" are fighting about what the first admendment should cover, they are completely skipping over the double, triple and quadrupale taxation that is taking place in this country. Oh, it's probably because they are one of the special interest groups that receive money. Our money.

My husband and I are not rich, but we are well off. My husband has an excellent sense of finance.(If it can be called a sense) He knows that saving money is important and is making sure we have money to retire off of. And we are punished for that. If I calm that as a form of toture will President B.O. put a stop to it? Because we all know that his buddies aren't paying into that one trillion dollar "stimilus" package with their tax money. (Psst, remember they "forget" to pay taxes.)

We also have no kids, so that means we are not getting paid to breed. Don't give me a lecture on how much kids cost because all of you who have a herd of children don't really pay for them anyway. All these large families get to put in for all sorts of free (or reduced) stuff. You get more money back then you pay in taxes. I don't get that money that goes to the schools back. Maybe it's time people actually start paying for their kids. I should be rewarded for not added to the population.

But back to the point that really pissed me off today. My husband loses about half of his salary to taxes and then we have to pay more?! What the hell! The U.S. Government is nothing but a bunch of thieves! And living in Utah, a "Republican" state doesn't help at help. They tax the shit out of us. Republicans or Democrats, it doesn't matter anymore. All of them want to rip us off to pay for their lobbyists (or bribers if you will), illegals and other special interest groups who feign like they are looking out for us.

Maybe one year all of us in middle American (you know the ones that the east and west coasters pretend don't exist) should "forget" to pay our taxes. I demand an itemized list of every single thing that the government sends of money on and that includes this "stimulus" package. Oh, and those of you who received $600 or $1200 from the government last year be aware that you need to pay taxes on that money as it is considered income. Yeah, getting the money that was stolen by the government back is income.

We are nothing but cowards anymore. More concerned with the race of a president than what these politicians are doing to this country. Hey let's sue the American government. Especially for this "stimulus" package. If the illegals can do it, why can't we? (Cause we are not illegal, right?)

Ban lobbyists, set term limits and if any politicians wants a raise, we the people should vote on it. I know it will never be perfect, but it may be time to flush the system.

Hey, I'm surprised I didn't swear more.

Rip-off Virgin

The whole reason I am with Virgin is because I don't use the cell phone that often. Every other service provider likes to charge a daily use fee. Usually starting about a dollar. Which is stupid because you are already paying by minute (or text). Now Virgin wants to start charging .15 istead of .10. I'm pretty sure they are doing this just to try to force us to buy their monthly plans. But that's not why I bought Virgin. I don't talk alot and I don't what a monthly fee. I mostly texted and the year fee of $90 usually lasts for the whole year. They also offer things like unlimited text so I looked into it.




The top picture shows that you can get unlimited text for $10 a month. Not too bad of a price, but not nesaccarily a great deal if you don't send many texts. Isn't that the reason why most people get pay as you go? The bottom picture shows, after clicking on the $10 a month unlimited in red link in the bottom picture, that you only get that price if you already pay for one of their monthly plans. What a rip-off. I'm so tired of this. No one can just let you pay. Always ripping you off with their "monthly plans."

Not to mention they are charging $79.99 for unlimited calls (I don't think text is included). How stupid is this? Well, for us anyways. Virgin has suck ass coverage. Anyone could get Verizon for $99 and they do have great coverage.

I guess I'm stuck paying it, but depending on how fast I go through it, I may have to drop it. Thank, Virgin Wireless.

I can live without it, but because everyone else walks around saying they can't live without their cell, the cellphone companies know the can charge whatever they want.

Stupid Snow

I cannot stand driving in the snow. First, the roads are awful. Second, Kaysville doesn't plow worth a shit, even though they raised our taxes, but say it's not in the budget. Hey, here's an idea, let's stop giving the knocked up greedy teenage sluts money and start plowing more. And finally, I hate all the retarded drivers out there.

We have had several heavy snow storms this year and it has made the roads difficult to drive. What would a normal person do? Hmmm, slow the hell down. But, noooooo, this assholes in their trucks, SUVS and other 4 wheel drive vehicles think they can drive like they are in NASCAR. Your car is not invinsible, you dumbass. I admit, I might drive slightly slower than needed when snow blankets the road, but that does not mean you should ride my ass. If you can't stop and run into me guess who is buying me a new car?

I just hope that one day I'll watch as one of this assholes run off the road and then I will stop and laugh. Stop, take pictures and fucking laugh my ass off!

Too many people means we have a mob mentality and mobs are dumb as shit.

Here I Am. . .

Alone in my head,
thoughts raging against me,
I feel broken.
