So we have a running mate for John Mcain, Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska. The news is already spreading …….. John Mcain chose a woman???(shocking, no). It has already been published on multiple website with quotes from voters saying ” I was going to vote for Hillary, but now I will vote for her” (www.cnn.com). Guess what I have to say to those people. . . . whoever ends up running our country will not change the course of history simply with their genitals (sorry if I gross you out, but this is crap).
Am I happy a women is running? HELL YES! I am thrilled that as a country we are moving forward and not back, but I do have to say I personally believe that Mcain is trying to launch himself into the white house with Palin as his “Hillary replacement”. There is one problem really the only similarities these women share is they both are married, have children, and are in politics. I am pretty sure Hillary is not a member of the NRA (National Rifle Association), or has a child that is five months old right now (well at least she can spend her sleepless nights going over the budget).
There is one thing Sarah Palin is already relying on very heavily, Sarah although I appreciate after two years being Governor you want to run for VP, I will not vote for you just because you are a women… I will however listen to see if your going to use that as your argument for the next months and if so. . . your political adviser’s are NOT DOING THERE JOB.
The focus is to move our country forward as a united nation, is she going to do that? and HOW?
I was reminded driving home last night from the www.meltingpot.com, (awesome fondue restaurant, love the cheese, eat the cheese) to turn on Barack Obama’s speech (thanks M). I listened all the way home (me, and the little piggy) and then I watched the end on television.
Barack and Roll People!
I have to say I was literally clapping in my car. I have said this many times When I hear him speak I believe he will change the world. I am moved ever time I hear him speak whether it is about his family, or the status of immigration policies in the U.S, or gay marriage(unions, whatever word you choose) (woo hoo).
Now you Mcain-ers can slow your roll for two seconds. I have not fully made up my mind who I will vote for in November. I will be listening to John Mcain’s speech in the next week or so, but I am at this point I am in doubt that Mcain’s speech will make me want to shout for him from the roof tops “I LOVE OBAMA”like I wanted to last night for Barack. Ok so I also went straight on to www.cafepress.comlooking for Obama T-shirts (hilarious!!!) I saw a shirt that said Obama 08, I’m a Hope-Opotomus with a hippo on it.
So bottom line to is Barack Obama is my homeboy, and at this point being a Republican and saying that in my hood (Northern Suburbs) is not the safest thing. On a side note a shout out to Jay Leno for having Mo Rocca (comedian) at the convention this week. the footage of him mingling and jingling with the Dem’s was fricken hilarious!
I think politics in this country is starting to be great again (thank you youth of America for giving a crap about of future, it’s about time we got off out asses and did something here). So I say good luck to both candidates, and to Barack Obama . . . . Well done my friend, well done, and to John Mcain . . . . your move
So I am just messing around on youtube.com (my favorite new place, I know I;m out of touch). And I have seen this video before, but today this clip made me crack up so hard other people were walking into my executive office (cube) to check out what was so funny. This was it . . .
this is dedicated to my brother Rhy Guy because he is . . .
A. the best brother in the world.
B. because he made my cousin Pat eat leaves when they were little in order to gain entrance to his tree house. (Hilarious story not shared until we were out drinking at a family party)
C. he can dance (very well, his wife is lucky!)
3. he used to lend me his construx (sort of a lego, but cooler, GO 80’s) to build a barbie house (thanks man).
I was filling in my desk calender this morning (I am obsessed, I used to keep it color coded, I am working on letting others touch it, . . . that sounded gross sorry.)I have been cleaning my office (cube) like a mad woman today (love you antibac Windex). OK so I am filling in the next few months and I realize all the Holidays are coming up! So as I get excited about making Thanksgiving dinner, and what M and I will be for Halloween this year (he already turned down my idea that we go in drag) I decided to spread a little CHRISTMAS cheer to you all. I love Christmas (and Hanukkah love you peeps too!), I think when everything is brown an crap outside, the lights and bustle of shoppers and hot chocolate really perk me up. It was also a very special time during my childhood where my mother used to decorate our house like a “Winter Wonderland” as we used to say. So here ya go, (it’s already in my head, now it will be in yours too!). Have a great day people!!!!!
You do not know me per say, but you left a comment on my Blog. You are the first and I just wanted to say thank you. I have been thinking about closing my blog because it doesn’t get the high traffic numbers some others do, but I realized that even if I have made you laugh once or smile on a crappy day it’s worth it. Thanks for taking a moment because you made my day.
M, please take notice that you are “fired” Trump style for not reading my blog. I love you, but you gotta represent and protect my rep yo (even I know I sound like an ass,but I’m tired and it makes me laugh).
I had a pretty good night last night, still a little sore, but good. M was drafting fantasy football (yay) so I had the joint all to myself (you would rejoice to be alone instead of going too, the mere conversation detailing the league was exhausting, and I like football!). I decided to rent a movie so I hoped on over to Blockbuster and selected a British Heather Graham movie (I will not be releasing the title of this unfortunately terrible movie choice for fear of ridicule). Now at my local Blockbuster they always have tables set up selling movies for pretty cheap prices. Yesterday was no exception. Walking by a table on the way to the register I noticed . . . SAW . . . the fourth edition.
A few years ago my friend Kelley gave me two random movies for Christmas (love her). One of them was SAW II. . . . . Now I thought this was odd (by odd I meant WTF) because I had never talked with her about Saw one and I don’t remember telling her I had an affinity for puppets (they’re like clowns wrong and a little creepy). . .
So anyway I decide to purchase Saw I, and watch that first. So I do and it’s gross, creepy, scary, disgusting, horrifying, thrilling, and AWESOME (if you didn’t like it you don’t appreciate a good mind fake). The twist at the end left me wanting more, so of course I watched the second one which was just as disgusting and just as gross. It was also just as cool as the first, my favorite part of all of these movies in the extras portion of the DVD. It explains how they designed and executed filming all the traps “Jigsaw” designs for his victims, very cool and definitely lowers the “I’m never going to sleep alone again factor”.
So anywho (I am getting off track, a little ADD poking out) my point is even the third Saw is pretty good. ah hello, remember that other Wahlberg . . . well he is in the third and fourth SAW and surprise . . . he is really good in the movies he looks a little different nowadays but, still at least a seven on the manometer. . . .
Detective Matthews
BUT, there is one problem . . . sorry horror fans SAW four . . . . . SUCKED. I mean some parts were kind of interesting, but for the most part I was kinda let down. I have heard a fifth addition is coming and I am hoping (please god) that we can up the ante a little bit. . . . so
Mr. Producer,
Although I truly appreciate the “dedication” (desire to be rich) to your “craft” I was hoping you’d remember that the best thing about the saw movies is not ripping peoples limbs off, or making them dig in their own eye for a key to release their neck from the “jaws of death”. . .(ok in writing that’s a lot grosser than on film, I am jaded : ( . . . . .). The important part is the screw-y “Mind Fake”. That twist right at the end where the dead guy gets up or the killer is actually the victim. Stop trying to gross me out (I have seen childbirth (on film) nothing can terrify me more than that). Focus on the thrill that’s why we like horror films anyway.
Till next time,
HG
P.s. I have included a clip I think is a prime example of the greatness you have achieved before.
yesterday was a good day (by good I mean I survived). I worked (joy) and then went to the gym to meet up with Chad (Devil reincarnate). Chad and I had a date for my very first personal training session. I had my cute pink and grey Adidas on, and my workout gear of grey capri’s and a circus liquors shirt on. Let me preface this by saying I have never done a workout with a personal trainer. I used to be very active, and now that I am not so active (ok not active). So when M gave me the gift that keeps on giving ( Hello Ballys Total Fitness, goodbye Taco Bell Quesadillas) I knew a change was about to be made . . . . . .
HELLO CRUEL FRIEND
This is where I met the devil, now some of you may snicker, but you have not experienced the true evil that is . . . . . Chad. See when I got this new membership I was given two FREE (free = awesome) personal training sessions, awesome right? ( Oh, how little pre-workout me knew) I was introduced with Chad who asked me a little about my fitness goals etc. Then began the fun (by fun I mean medieval torture). I started by “stepin” (up and down on whats called a step for you non acquainted) with light weights doing presses. I like to think this is where I started to “feel the burn”. By burn I mean I felt like I was about to die about 3 minutes into thing. Now I know I’m a “first timer” and all, but I didn’t take this as a good sign. What they don’t tell you in your “fun” consultation is that you will hate Chad (who is about 5′10′ and nice looking with an almost sweet demeanor) more than your ex who broke up with you on prom night (didn’t happen to me, I went to a fraternity formal instead more on that later). After careful consideration and some ibuprofen . . . .
Here is a list of things I have to apologize to Chad (666) for:
1. Telling him I hated him (multiple times) sorry Chad I am sure you are a nice person (hah).
2. Telling Chad ” I hope you get sick with something really bad”, sorry Chad.
3. Informing him I will be having a shirt made saying “My personal Trainer’s name is Lucifer” and it will be pink, sorry Chad.
4. Saying the F-word about twenty five times including in front of other people in their training sessions, sorry.
5. Telling Chad “Thanks for making me realize what an out of shape, piece of crap I am” when I wasn’t thankful at all (sarcasm was indeed involved).
6. Yelling at Chad when he kicked my foot to keep me going on my planks (a.k.a the devil’s excersize) ” Oh were KICKING me now? ” his response was “yes” and then laughing that sonded something like this . . . .
Actually I’m not sorry about that, your evil!!!!!
7. Sorry about calling you evil, on number six.
8. Sorry about saying that you sucked, and that I hated you again.
9. I am sorry Chad that I said “I don’t ever want to see you again” that wasn’t very nice of me (that was the pain talking).
10. Sorry Chad, for saying I was right for calling you “the devil” all day at work before we even met.
So when Chad took me up to the front desk where the perky little receptionist (who actually is Chad’s boss, funny!) if I was interested in purchasing more sessions after the workout I am pretty sure Hilter devised I smartly replied ” yes”. See you Tuesday Chad (worst nighmare) I will bring a bigger water bottle this time, and a good (hah) attitude.
M and I held each other (it sounds funny but true) last night as the Olympic flame was once again extinguished and the games ended (aghh nooooooo). I will say this again as I have said it before this is so sad for me, because I feel so inspired by these Olympics. The families and the stories and the determination to be the best. I think although the athletes and their stories inspire me the most ( a la Michael Phelps Mom’s commercial last night, I was almost in tears, I know I’m that chick right now). But I really feel the true spirit of the Olympic games was captured best by this Visa (I know I’m a sellout) commercial. If I ever get a book deal Morgan Freeman will be narrating it (not a joke).
I also added a commercial that I saw last night that really brought home how special our new Olympic Champion Phelps. ( ok this almost made M cry it is that sweet.
I am surprising refreshed this morning. I woke up to M snugglin up to me. (He likes to do this after he showers, brushes his teeth and does his hair (a la blow dryer, no I’m not dating the Hoff) This was nice (thank you dude).
Then I realized I had to get up and come to work (effort, arrgh). I got up showered, picked out a super cute (comfortable) black sundress, stopped at Panera (awesome place to eat, they have so many natural and organic foods, a little pricey but worth it) to pick up bagel for my work peeps and arrive at the office.
Now here is where I get lame . . . Usually I check cnn.com, sometimes TMZ (I’m bad I know, I lika the gossip) then Perez and then usually a couple other blogs. Today I check my stuff and I cannot get inspired. The only thing I’m thinking about is my trip to Bed Bath and Beyond yesterday (I know go to Home Depot, maybe not enough time blah blah) (If you don’t get that watch old school and start living what I call a real life) I needed to buy bedding for the new house and our new, ****King size Bed**** I imagine someone announcing it like on the price is right. (I am honestly thinking about getting an announcer for our bedroom) Uno problemo muchachos, bedding is a little more pricey than I remember and p.s. a side note to Tommy Bahama you are not God there fore I am not buying a $400 duvet cover!!!! Unless the lord himself sewed on that decorative piping I think I will stick with something a little less pricey.
Now I have been looking for bedding EVERYWHERE (no exaggeration, literally). Pottery Barn is way to seventies for me right now, and Jc Penny it’s not the 80’s plaid is out. So finally I got Mike to agree to a lovely yellow and tan Nautica stripe (not to girlie, not to manly, I put a picture of it below). We had to learn they was more to life than solid colors and by that I mean dark brown (love you M). So I finally wrestle an expired Linens (apparently they take competitor’s coupons a.k.a awesome) And Things coupon and purchase over two hundred dollars worth of bedding. Now I still have not bought sheets, but my point is what the hell is wrong with me that I would spend this much on bedding??? But to my credit (and defense) I did bring Steph with me, and when confronted with this I questioned how many times she has worn her $200 coach wedges, cut to the chase definitely not every day. (I love winning)
Bottom line, these better be the best nights rest I ever get, and I think I am going to go budget on the sheets considering the 1000 thread count I wanted are $250 without pillow shams (yowza). Have a great Friday all,
Thank you Kind Stranger
