IN RESPONSE TO MILEY CYRUS PHOTO ON TMZ

I am insulted not by the photo, but by the unintelligent/ racist comments from most entries that have been posted on TMZ. I was shocked to see that some posts were criticizing Miley for her offensive gestures (even if taken out of context) and they still had the nerve to call her white trash, if not worse as I read from some entries. One person even went as far as calling the asians defending her "white washed". It is amazing that someone who is offended by racism will turn around and make a racist remark not only against Miley Cyrus, but against all whites because of her actions. It is also humorous that someone offended by racism would make racist remarks against there own race. That just blows my mind. This photo, as suggested in several entries before, has absolutely nothing to do with our presidency, and it is because of unintelligent comments such as these that I am disgusted with having equal voting rights. I am white, and I am an American. I have been ridiculed for both. I have had my car pelted, I have had rocks thrown at it, I have been called a F****** cracker because I didn't have any money to spare, I have been persecuted religiously, and I have been persecuted for being an American. Unlike this photo, these were things that happened directly to me as acts of racism. The point I am trying to make is that there is a lot of hurt and a lot of prejudice people in the world. You absolutely cannot generalize an entire race because of bad choices made by some. Some of the most influential people in my life as well as for this nation have been from the same race that has persecuted me in the past. The only way to stop racism is to not be apart of it.

Hello Again!

So the newest dilemma in my life is of course over my work. Every season we receive this amazing allowance to spend in the store that is supposed to purchase a wardrobe for you to wear to work but in reality it totals to about 5 pieces(not to be confused with outfits). I am grateful to have a job, but it doesn't mean that I will settle and stop looking for the job I've always dreamt of. So recently I've had a few companies interested in possibly hiring me however the problem is that I may have to give some of my wardrobe back. I know that it seems like a no brainer, but when you have just been given the most expense clothing you have ever owned for free you don't exactly want to return it. In fact, I kind of feel that since it is now in my possession I would fist fight anyone who tried taking any of it away from me. Even if they just wanted the underpinning (ie really nice tank top that you can buy at XX1 for $2.50) back, I wouldn't give it up without branding the person with a few teeth marks. So although the almost dream job that I'm interested in (almost=an assistant position) seems great, my subconscious hopes that they don't call. I'm thinking I should at least continue my present job for about a month, and then look for a new one. Opinions please!!!!

Oh also, my friend Liz added a comment on my accolades post of our other friends, and I just wanted to congratulate her for her accomplishments and note that she is now working at Versace PR assisting the VP. Had I of known sweet thang I would have posted them as well!!! xo

Standing Ovation Please!

There are little moments in your life that you sometimes wish you could live over. Not to say that it is because of regret and that you wish you could do things differently, but to be able to relive the moment for enjoyment purposes only. Moments such as your first kiss(notably the obvious), scrubbing the toilet with your sister's toothbrush, you know...whatever. Well, I work at a high end apparel retailer and tonight I was able to experience one of those moments. So...two gentlemen walked into the store. One of the guys, a surprisingly short kind of stalky guy covered in tats, wanted to purchase these fabulous boots that we just got into the store. As I brought the boots out of the box I had asked if he would like a pair of trouser socks to try them on with. Apparently he did not hear me, and soon followed with a "Baby, can you get me a pair of sock please."(Of course not a direct quote for legal purposes) When I returned with a pair of socks he then presumed to ask if I would please put them on for him. "Baby, can you put these socks on for me." Any sane person I think would decline this offer especially if they knew what my pay check looks like. So I did. I told him, "No I don't think so" and gave him a little smile and took a couple of steps back. He looked at his friend, looked back at me and said, "You mean you aren't going to help me out here?" (again these are not direct quotes...lol. I apologized real softly, gave a sweet smile, and didn't budge from my safe distance between us. I gave him one of the boots only after removing the paper fillings, and left the lacing for him to handle. "Man baby, you can't help with anything?", he said. While all of this is going on I am trying of course to make casual conversation and luckily for me the hot topic on the agenda for today has been customers purchasing for the VMA's. So I asked these two guys if they would be attending. They gave each other odd looks and then said yes. Later when I was checking the guy wanting the boots out, I asked if he was up for any awards. He said yes, or so he thinks. The conversation concluded with me telling him good luck and that I would watch the VMA's to see if he won. Long story short, I'm completely clueless. As I said before, fortunately enough for me the VMA's is a hot topic of conversations right now otherwise I may have been completely hopeless. After the guys left, my colleague advised me that I had just attended to Cee-lo. I said, "Who, you mean Thomas Callaway?". He said, "No Cee-lo also known as Gnarles Barkley."

Amazing Little Search Engine that Could

Hello ladies,
I just wanted to inform you of a great little blog page that does wonders for your lonely mail boxes.

http://babysgotbubblegum.blogspot.com/

My sister created this blog page in order to help women get the things they need and want for discounted prices. She researches different companies that willingly give out samples and coupons. I have tried it and it works! She has signed me up with so many different companies that my mailbox has a little surprise in it waiting for me at the end of a long day at work. I have received food samples which are desperately needed for surviving the life after college mode, as well as tampons(yay!), and cleansing products that I hear work best if used daily. Go figure?! So ladies be sure to check it out, and feel free to post any questions or comments!!

PS There is a link to her site under my blog list!!

As if I have Something Better to Do

Alone on a Friday night. I think that may really be all that I have to say. The end, Fin, roll the credits because this tragic movie is over. Friday was the "It" night throughout college, but living on Mars, I mean in LA, I have been warned of the nasty little people they call tourists and advised to go out on Thursdays instead. I haven't quite adjusted to their obscure frame of mind yet so I sit waiting for my new home phone to ring of which only two people in existance other than the phone company and telemarketers have my number to. I suppose if a telemarketer calls I should see if they have any plans for the evening. Until then I'll keep my best friend Lucille company and talk to her even though she understands minimal english.

Skanks

Skanks: an appropriate title for the women in the world who flaunt being loose. I know this is not a normal topic; however, I've really only had 5 thoughts I think since I've started blogging, go figure.
It seems to me that just because you grow up doesn't actually mean that high school ever ends. By this I mean the insecurities in addition to the perputual longing of wanting to fit in. Since I have been in Los Angeles, I have learned that it may be absolutely best to keep my personal life seperate from my work life as is always a good rule of thumb, but has never been a real priority. With this I have now been marked as prudent and labeled as conservative. I am writing this blog in order to justify myself although I have no real reason to. Because I have made the decision to make sales at my job based entirely on my ability to sale as opposed to my God given assests, should not deem me as a lesser person. As my co-worker at her best stated, you are conservative if you would not have a threesome. After asking why I was offended by her blatant remark, she soon followed with an attempt to console me with her very own threesome story. Ta Daa! The only logic I can conduce from the idiots that I work with is that they were deprived as children from the curtisies of their parents putting a belt to their behinds. Not that I condone this sort of discipline, but with some people you wonder why it was never considered.
As I said before, this blog is merely to justify my opinion on the matter rather than to whine or complain about biotches at work. The thing that I am upset about is that I feel as though I have to put up with their b.s. in order to do my job. Sad truth.
