Mess of Me

Maybe one day, I'll write a post of how this day sucked. But for now, I'll let the music do the talking for me.

Twilight Moms

This also applies to any woman over the age of 25.

David Gray

There are few musicians that perform with the same passion like David Gray. His music stops me dead in my tracks everytime.

Diamonds Are Forever?

I'll be honest when I say that I tend to dread the holiday season. Being 26 and single during this period sucks big time. It doesn't make life any easier when there's a jewelry commercial airing during every sporting event or show directed towards men. Sometimes, I have to change the channel because it puts me in such a bad mood. Here is a perfect example:

The Hope is Fading Fast

Its been awhile since I've posted anything political on my blog. Although my blog has been silent, I have been monitoring politics closer than ever in a non election year. With Obama's public approval ratings tanking and disapproval over universal healthcare mounting, I can proudly say "I TOLD YOU SO."

I can remember a discussion with an Obama supporter before the 2008 election and I was trying to convince her that Obama was going to push for universal healthcare. I kept pleading to her, "how are we going to pay for it?" She had no good answer for me except for "Obama's gonna do it." But I told her that it was inevitable that taxes would have to be raised to cover 50 million Americans. My friend kept bringing up the successes of Sweden and how well universal healthcare works there. I asked her how many people lived in Sweden. She didn't know. I told her that only 9 million people live there and they tax the people to death! Only 9 million!!! I'm sure that amount of people live in Southern California alone! Give me a break! Universal healthcare will be a disaster on businesses and would result in rationed health care. I can say this with absolute confidence because this has been the case where government mandated health care is the rule of law in Europe. Plain and simple.

One a different note, Freshjive has unveiled a new tee shirt that is their perception of Obama's first year in office. The design is called, "The Hope is Fading Fast."

WAR

If you haven't noticed, Verizon has declared war on Apple and AT&T with new ads attacking AT&T's 3G network. It all began when Verizon unveiled the new Droid phone and parodied the iPhone's hipster-friendly tv spots.

Even though I am an iphone user, I despise the AT&T 3G network. It's slow, unreliable, overloaded. Before switching to AT&T, I was with Verizon for almost 7 years and never had any problems. That cannot be said for AT&T. Like many iPhone fans, I was excited to hear that Verizon might carry the iPhone when AT&T's exclusive contract with Apple expires next year. One may wonder though, will Verizon's aggressive ads hurt their chances to land the coveted iPhone?? Only, time will tell.

I enjoy giving kids a hard time (in a playful way). Maybe that's why I think these commercials are freaking hilarious!
