Useless Rambles

Name:

I'm just a normal 40 hour a week, working woman that is trying to save money wherever she can. I have a wonderful husband and two big kitties and hope to have children in the near future. I enjoy being around my huge extended family, playing softball, and various games of all kinds.

One of the Best Bands

So I have to say this. I was digging through my CDs and put in Aerosmith's cow CD or otherwise known as the Get a Grip album. And I forgot how wonderful it was!! I was singing my whole way to work. Oh it's a happy day!! It's friday too! So TGIF everyone!!

Just a side note, I did not take any crack, I'm just in a very weird mood.

Confused and worried

Ok so certain people, one of which might read this blog is asking what do i want to do with my life, because of course, I don't want to work at this place all my life. Then I start thinking about that statement. I wouldn't mind it if I was a manager, but is that probable? Probably not for a long long time. Then I start questioning everything and feel like a worthless being. I mean I'm not using my history degree, so I feel that all that money I was paying was retarded. So where am I now? I thought about going back to school to get my masters, but then what? I have no idea what I want to do. I know, it's a little lame to be asking this now, but I'm not sure. I thought for so long I wanted to teach, but now I don't. I would like to help children, so maybe the masters in sociology might be good. I just don't know. Then I'm thinking about looking for another job, but I've been here for so long....ahh it's just overwhelming. Should I just know what I'm going to do? My boy says don't worry, you'll know what you want when you figure it out and it doesn't have to be this second.

Plus I worry, what if what I want seems so little to others. Like my ideas are not the grand, got to be a lawyer making 6 figures kind. I think sometimes it would be cool to own a cafe or a restaurant....most people think that's stupid. I don't know. So confused. And believe me, I want to do more than I'm doing right now, but what?? I was thinking about real estate for a while, who knows....I think I'm just overstressing about this.

Woo Hoo booked and ready to go for Vegas Sept 6th!!!!!!!!!!!

Into the West

When this comes out on video, I would recommend seeing it. It was a great great movie. It made me cry at the end and get very angry. It basically ended with the massacre at wounded knee. And I can't believe all of these events and more only took place a little over a hundred years ago. It's amazing. That's two generations. Could justice ever take place? I don't think the damage can be undone. The Lakota, for example, are still one of the poorest nations. And Pine Ridge, fighting was going on twenty/thirty years ago. It's very sad to think of all this. And then I think of what to do to help, and I'm lost. How do you take so many years of wrong doing and make it right? how do you take a bunch of people and make it a village like it once was? Is it possible?

I think I'm going to go to Alaska next year for a huge family reunion. Well, I'm going to try. My aunts/uncles that I've never seen before are throwing this and would love for us Seattle folk to come up. I think it would be amazing. Yeah!!

Random thoughts to fill up this blogger some...

Ok first, if you have a chance I completely recommend going to see Hustle and Flow. For me, it was one of the best movies of the year. But I think you have to partially have the taste for the ghetto movies in order to really appreciate it. Think Bill & 40s and you would know what I'm talking about. But the actors were all very good and I laughed almost the whole way through. It was awesome.

Second, what the hell is Super Size me supposed to prove? I have a very hard time believing that our society should blame all these companies for using our weaknesses against us. If I want a supersize fry, let me choose. I mean I understand that I have a high metabolism and I'm skinny, but why should I suffer because people can not make right choices. If your ass is eating McDonalds 2/3 times a week, you're going to be big. It's all about moderation. I just think it's a scapegoat to tackle the companies when it's a person's own responsibility to eat right and exercise. It's not McDonalds fault that you're obese. It's not Camel's fault you smoke. It's not Budweiser's fault your liver is dying. (haha)

And to not know that a Big Mac is unhealthy for you!! Come on. Use a brain cell if you have any and think about it. Sorry. I like my supersize fries. I don't eat them everyday, but they are a nice treat. Ahh...just don't like things being taken away. Granted I do agree, some smoking and drinking advertising should be limited only because of our laws and we don't want our children drinking and smoking :)

Yeah First Post

Ok so I've completely gone to being a true dork and now have my own website diary. Haha, or another thing to do when I'm bored at work. Yeah!!
