The Youngster

Well, the boy was a little miffed that I hadn't contacted him over the past two days. I texted him this morning and let him know that I was still alive. He came in tonight as he was going to work, vitamin C in hand since he knew I had a cold. Of course, I'm on my second day of my vitamin regiment so I declined the extra mgs of C. I was told that the ball is in my court for the phone call now. Guess he won't be hearing from me : ) I know, I'm horrible. I don't call guys! My parents always told me, "Nice girls don't call boys!" And after harassing a few boyfriends when I was between 19-23, I learned my lesson. I don't need 'em. I don't care what you're doing, when you ate, what you ate, when you pooped and if you've got to poop (by the way, Oversized Ben, I don't care about your bowel movements either yet I continue to read your blog). I have enough of my own crap to deal with (no pun intended). A 5 minute courtesy call every other day is just fine with me. I'm a harsh and grizzled individual, as my dad would say. That's just me. Again, why I'm probably still single. Well, I'm about out of work so I better wrap it up.

I thought nobody loved me : (

For a couple of days I've been wondering, "Why don't have any comments? Doesn't anybody love me anymore?" Normally, I get emails letting me know I have new comments but I hadn't so I just decided to peek at my unmoderated comments. You do like me, you really do!! So, comments are posted!! Yeah!! So I'm watching "There and Back" on MTV. I helps me get over not being able to watch "Making the Band 3". I know, I'm lame but I used to think O-Town was so cool, because I was living there when they were popular. The boys were cute now they're all broke and out of work. This show is about Ashley Parker Angel, who I thought was the cutest, of course. Anyways, I didn't call the boy back today, I didn't go to my boss's birthday party and I didn't even leave the house! But I did clean the bathroom, did laundry and now you can actually see my floor. Woo hoo! I also started taking vitamins today. I am taking a multi-vitamin, vitamin C, super B complex, biotin, fish oil and a couple of other things. I feel stronger already : ) I'm so amped I found the comments!!

Just one of those days...

I think I'm finally recovering from this vicious cold that I've had for a couple of days. My friend and boss, Julie, has a b-day party tomorrow so I'm laying low tonight. I went grocery shopping tonight. I stood in line at Wal-Mart for about a half an hour. Ridiculous!! Anyways, I kinda had plans with the young boy tonight. He called 3 times but I didn't return or answer any of his calls. Yeah, I know, I should have at least called but I hate turning people down so I flake out and avoid instead. Oh well, I'll call him tomorrow. This why I don't have a boyfriend!! I can't commit!!

I bought some of my favorite foods at the grocery store tonight: apples and cheese. They both go along great with popcorn!! My family used have this tradition that when there was a good movie on TV, we would make popcorn, apples and cheese. The different textures, different tastes and the overall yumminess of each food made it a perfect snack. Top it off with a large soda of your choice and it was heaven when I was between the ages of 7 & 23 :) Over the years though, my family and I has tightened up a bit, gotten healthy, and those cheesey, appley, popcorny nights have fallen to the wayside. I still revive the tradition on my own, in a smaller dose. Try it sometime!! Well, I'm in the middle of watching one of my "Alias" Netflix, so I gonna get back to it. Late :)

If you don't like what you hear, turn it off!!

So I laid in bed with my massive head cold and watch Larry King Live last night. Howard Stern was the guest and promoting his satellite radio show on Sirius. My dad will be so disappointed when I say this but he also respects my opinions because he knows I'm smart and can make my own decisions. I like Howard Stern. I may not think all of his topics are something I want to listen to but I think he's funny, I think he's a pioneer and I think overall he is a good and decent human being standing up for what we as Americans should all be fighting for: our right for free speech.

If we continue to let organizations like the FCC stifle peoples' voice, opinions and ideas, what else will they do? Will they take away my right to vote? That's in the Constitution along with free speech. My opinion is that if you don't like what you hear, turn it off! It's not like Howard Stern shoved his show in people's faces or we were forced to listen to him on our morning commute to work. We chose to turn on the radio and listen. Some mornings, I was disinterested or didn't want to listen to what he was saying so I changed the channel. My right to choose to turn him off and censor myself. I don't need someone else telling me what I can and can't listen to.

I wonder if he will be as popular now that he can freely say what he wants, though. Kinda like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The fruit was forbidden therefore more desired to the point of losing everything to taste the forbidden fruit. Now that Stern can say and do anything, will we as a selfish and hedenistic society still be drawn to that fruit that is no longer forbidden. Only time will tell...
