why you gotta go and ruin a good thing?

i can hardly believe it, but yes, a Heathers sequal is coming.
just when i thought hollywood had reached the highest peak of disgust (twilight),
they have to release a new heathers.

give me a break, the original was too good to out do (much less continue!)
its going to be like caddyshack 2, and bring it on 2-5..6..7.. what number are they on now?
the story is over, stop trying to revitilize winona ryder and chrisitan slaters careers..
thats what shoplifting is for!

im blogoggle-ing

omg- it is so nice out today!
who would have thought just 7 days ago a tornado swept through middle tennessee!

I have been so unbelievably busy with school that i have not written anything in a while...
instead of something insightful, i thought i would leave you with this little gem.

so..... until next time.




oh and why does "RON from N.C. aged 42" want to follow me on twitter? creeepy!

careful, little current. careful

i usually love these current.tv cartoons and this one, too...
but i think current needs to be careful of who they poke at

aren't these characters representing their fanbase?

those brainiacs at google have done it again!

gmail has created a feature which will let you view your emails without an internet connection..
AHHMAZING!! what a relief for those who have a million emails and need to respond on the run..

check out this link for a more specifc introduction..
also, slate is a pretty sweet site. i had it on my blackberry for a while, and they always have interesting stories :)

here is google's artful attempt to discuss the program.



ps. i selfishly added a lot of you to my blog update list, so if you want to be removed, just let me know.- however, you if you want to stay or want to be added, click the follow me link on the top right of my blog!

...well, i was hoping to pantent the next great invention.

I will soon be getting my first week's worth of movies from Netflix (thanks J!)...
but how will I watch them on my tv (aside from DVD)?

dont worry- Roku has it covered.
GENIUS, I tell ya!
If only I'd thought of that.

ive learned a lot in the past year..

it amazes me how quickly the months flew by last year..
is this a glimpse of whats to come with life?

i wouldnt say it was my best year-
still sticking with 2007 on that.
but it was great nonetheless.

i met the ever surprising and wonderful j.
made more amazing memories with my friends.
moved into my lovely little house with amy.
my bff moved across the street!!
i started and dropped out of one grad school only to be accepted into another.

ive also recently learned how ridiculous and vindictive some people can be to others.
having control over another person(s)'s life should not be a way of fulfilling your life.
seriously..

i cant even blog about this freely.
i just get too pissed off..

in 2009, i hope that i can focus more on controlling my own life and not allowing others to do it for me.
controlling others cannot possibly be affecting your own life positively.

thank you and happy 2009.

sometimes life is forgotten.

i came across this site and felt it was appropriate to share
with all this CHANGE that will soon be happening..

with my life moving in so many directions,
I sometimes forget our problems overseas..

this is just a reminder to all.

when things are great, they're still just ok?

i read a previous post and realized i have yet to conclude my rascal flatts story.
i ended up not getting the position
apparently, they are not hiring anyone at this time.
i was told tour assistants would be used to fill the position until they left for tour again.

ive known for a while but realizations have sunk in
-the music industry is not doing well.
people are losing their jobs
others are literally working FOR FREE.

if 20 year veterans are having a hard time,
why would a 20 something recent college grad be hired off the street?
besides the fact that this 20 something would work for free.
oh desperation.

then to top it off...
if its possible to fail the GRE, ive done it.
lets hope belmont really doesnt care about my score.
YIKEES!

on the up-side...
a very amazing person has recently entered my life.
his determination and motivation keep me positive everyday.
i hope it also keeps me focused for a while to come.

i dont think he realizes how happy he has already made me in such a short time.
as im usually at a loss for words in a serious conversation,
i hope he'll read this.



in conclusion:: love life is ahhmazing, work life not so much >> education here i come, i hope.

this is hot.

halle berry was voted sexiest woman alive by esquire mag..
yea she totally deserves it..

her acceptance speech is unbeatable.
here's a highlight- so go read it yourself.

Ah, yes: the big O. You know that stuff they say about a woman being responsible for her own orgasms? That's all true. And in my case, that makes me responsible for pretty damned good orgasms these days. Much better orgasms than when I was twenty-two. And I wouldn't let a man control that. Not anymore. Now I'd invite him to participate. I'll tell you this: I've learned my tricks. I know what I like. I do not wait around. I initiate. And I'm not all about frequency. I favor intensity.

oh baby.. i cant wait to get through my 20s, haha..

search for more, they're great..

this is the future. at least for me

as most of you know, ive been pondering the whereabouts of my future for quite sometime
and while i might never grasp my full purpose in life, id like to think that sometimes i get a glimpse.

ive recently decided to study animal science which will eventually point me in the path of a wildlife veterinarian.
i have re-enrolled in mtsu for the semester where i will start with the basics and contine until either spring or summer.
after which i have applied to colleges across the country in order to claim residency in my vet school state of choice.

i have read several articles on the difficulty of getting into vet school if you are not a resident of the particular state.
i am currently a resident of TN and the fact that UT's vet school is easier than most to get into makes we want to try that much harder to get into a more difficult program.

im finished taking the easy route.
i did that once before and look just how far it got me!
so as painful as this process is going to be, i couldnt imagine a better way to spend the rest of my life.

i love animals, i love helping, and i looove travel.
this is my ideal career- if you can call it that!
more a way of life.

in my research of wildlife conservation, i came across some pretty amazing programs.
the one i am most interested in will take me to Sri Lanka to work with an Elephant Conservation project.
elephants have always been my favorite animal (if you will) so this is an exciting opportunity.
i have applied for the program and all the kinks are being dealt- as school conflicts with several months.
the trip is very short but will put in the mindset of what i will- hopefully- encounter everyday in the future!

the company id work with: Global Vision International

here are some awesome videos...

this is the new advertising??

i came across this youtube video that involves teens timing themselves while getting dressed.
at first, i didnt think anything of it, but as the video continues, it becomes very clear what is going on.

these kids are practicing getting dressed in a short amount of time as not to be caught be their parents.
worst of all, this is a department store ad.

i totally understand the 1st amendment and that as the years go by, more and more ads of this nature will start to appear.
however, is this necessary?
it just seems a shotty way for a department store to advertise its products.
what does it even have to do with shopping?

watch the video, and let me know what you think!

this is 2004 all over again?

are you serious?
come on people,

john mccain vs. hillary clinton?
are you kidding me?

im sorry but i dont want my entire lifetime dictated by the bushy clinton group.
lets get a new klan in.
everyone bitched about bush getting a second term
but youre basically giving clinton a third!

where are the fresh ideas?
where are the young people that are "all about voting?"
do you really want a woman president?
i am a woman.
i saw clinton get teary-eyed on tv.
do you want her running her country the seat of her.... hormones?
i know what hormones are like- i deal with them.
fuck.

ok and mccain?
he couldnt pick a party if his life depended on it.
he has stated on more then one occasion, that they war will CONTINUE!
another 100 years

my most recent sent email.

what ever your beliefs are, is this really what you want?
he is winning the republican race.
just keep that in mind on february 5 (tennessee).
march 4 (texas)

oh and lets keep hillary out, too.
is that too much to ask?

(im not sure if the videos will send, so just go to the links.)


mccain vs. the beach boys



100 more years, seriously?



trading berqas?

- this is mccain trying to poke fun at ron paul. (paul is trying to
make a serious point, and does it.)
- gets annoying after a while- fast forward to 2:43 and it continues.


make up ya mind, son



he just called out an entire community... who will be next?



ok. sorry this is just funny.


im not trying to persuade you one way or another... no, seriously. hahahaha...


hippies are republicans, too :)




HELP US CANADA!!
hahaha

this is getting ridiculous

it is 4:12pm central time in tennessee.
i was just informed of our newest actor heartbreak.

heath ledger was found dead in his new york apt. apparently with a candyland of pills.
too clarify: he was found in mary kate olsen's apartment.
- she deserves a whole entry to herself, but that another story.

i just dont get it.
he just had a baby with ex-fiance michelle williams
and is the new joker..

this is youtube.

i am a HUGE youtuber-
seriously, i could watch youtube every minute of the day.
people are proving that they are unbelievably talented (or stupid) when given the opp to make a movie!

there are so many movies to explore and people to learn about.
i have come up with a few that are my all time favorites (up to now).

in no particular order.



have you guys seen this?
this took some major skill and patience!
i love it.
check out some other video game inspired- human inacted videos
official site


for some reason this video is very emotional to me.
im not sure if it is the original music or his expressionless face.
either way- very touching and creative.
here is his site.
noah kalina


i really like the cinematography of this video.
it says it was made by some students-
i like what they have to say.
i like the way they've said it.

kelly
anything from him. i love him. seriously.

there are so many more to come!
