Hell, I am going back to neverland

When it comes to my life these days,
I am some where between a cry and a laugh,
My mom just called me and said i looked like a gained 5 pounds...

Ooo...slip into my fat jeans, overdose on some mint ice cream.

Treat the day just like a dream!

Life is a little crazy right now....

Currently, I am studying for my Series 6, Series 63 and insurance exams for my new job. My first test is April 11th...which is coming up in no time! All this working and shit, is starting to force me to grow up...not a fan!! I have to act all serious and proper alll the time.



So my new dream and ambition in life is to return to Neverland, where I have no bills, no worries and I can party like a wild child all day and night! My first pit stop in neverland would be to fight and stab PeterPan in the hand for making up this non-realistic place. As a kid, we dream of growing up and why? Why in the world would any sane kid want to grow up. And now I am kicking myself because as a kid we were told over and over again. Trust me when you grow up your going to wish you were a kid again. ok...mom, dad, aunt, uncle, grandma, grandpa and any other adult that told me this...You WIN!!


When did I do this transition where I find maybe one day a month to take a day off from the check book balancing, tax figurations, stock market worrying and where the hell I am going to find next months rent?? I want to go back to the sword hitting, brother tackling, bike riding days....is this why people have kids? O don't get me wrong, I have my fair share of fun, but I go for a motorcycle ride now and I am nervous about going to fast in case I hurt myself....I run a block and get a knee or back cramp...I tried hitting someone in the store the other day with a sword and they thought I was needy! I just don't understand.



So maybe I cannot go back to neverland but I think from this moment on...now that I have actually thought about it, I am going to take one day a week to go do something a kid would do! Let the wind take me...Chuck E cheese, Go-Karting, Batting cage, Miniture golf....the circus and ride on all the kid rides....o life is going to be one hell of an adventure now....



Who needs neverland....??

BLOG FACELIFT

So...after complaints about how little time I spent updating my blog and well a personal lack of attention to it...I have decided to give it a little facelift. My hope is to spend more time updating my blog, that way I keep myself happy and my viewers. In the matter of this blog facelift, my intent is not to offend anyone, but rather give my personal opinion on different matters, update friends and family on events in my life, and well just have fun with it! So with that, I hope you all enjoy.

If there is anything, anyone would like me to add or take out well just let me know, your comments will not be taken seriously....:p

Yah...for music

NEED I SAY MORE????????????

AMY WINEHOUSE!!! yes anyone who knows me at all, would obvioulsy know I would put her up here!

AMAZING, drunk! haha. Just playing. love her music, love her! Hot all around!

PIck it up and listen to it. Rehab, you know im no good! its all great nothing much more to say here. its GREAT

Due to the fact I have not been keeping on top of my music throughout the past few months....I am adding 3 new cds in which I LOVE!!!

Michael Buble and his new release "Call Me Irresponsible"

First off, love the title!! And secondly who can resist that voice! He takes new songs, he takes old and twists them into his own. I have always loved his old stuff and now his new cd is just as good.

He has yet to let me down!

Regina Spektor
Thats right I said and did it! Orginally brought to my attention through a friend of a friend...My two friends Gretchen and Loni introduced me to this cd. There big kick was the "Fidelity" song...so I gave it a try! Damn, shes good! The whole cd is great, she is very unique, almost undescribable. I cannot even compare it to other artists because every song is tactfully different.
The cd is titled "Begin to Hope"...ok ill give it to you.
I am not very familiar with this artists so if this cd has been out for a while, I appologize for being behind the times. I was never in fashion as a kid either!

Damien Rice with his cd "9"
New pick of the week, I had heard some good things about this cd...so of course, I had to go check this out for myself. One time through, sampling these songs and I loved it!! My favorite song is of course, "9 Crimes", which happens to be the first one on this cd.
Hats off to Damien Rice....Even with his music in the !Horrible! movie closer, it was great. So, although the movie sucked, his music made up for it.

There you have it for music this week!


Soundtrack from the Motion Picture, "Babel"
Not only was the movie good, the soundtrack is even better!

This two disc soundtrack was one of my number one items on my christmas list and thank goodness Santa was nice enough to bring it. The music is taken from all different cultures represented throughout the movie, which leads for a worldly adventure from song to song.

This album goes from "the Joker" by fatboy slim to "into the wild" by Gustavo Santaolalla. And many other artists throughout.



The Duhks "Migrations"
Hot Damn!! I cannot get enough of this album.
I was in Barnes and Noble when I first heard this cd. I tend to go to B&N, listen to random cd's I have never heard before and buy one of them. This was one of my choices and I am not diappointed by any means.

The songs on this ablum are all over the place with genres. They have songs based from gospel, african-american spirituals, instrumentals, pop genre, and rock! They have it all on one cd. The artists use different intstruments throughout the entire cd. Fiddle, Claw-Hammer Banjo, Guitar, Uillean pipes, Low whistle, bouzouki, pandeiro, cajon, congas, bongo, surdo, djemo, bells, cymbals and of course (Pots and pans)!!!

"The fox and the Bee" is an all instrumental piece which used many of the intstruments listed above. I can listen to the whole cd and not get bored, because every song sounds like its done by a different group! Very talented group of musicians!

Beat that...a pair of two's!!

.....O my dad would be sooo proud.....
Monday was a good day…

I went out to play poker with my good friend Mel, who ultimately always steals my money by winning! (For that reason alone…she’s not a cool person! Ha) But this night would end very differently. Yes…I…would be at the winners table and I would take first place. I took it all, not only from Mel, but from all the other poor suckers sitting there. The group of individuals sitting around that table were some of the most fun poker players I will ever have the chance to play poker with. We played as if we were best friends one moment and enemies the next! I loved it!

My other dear friend Natalie is also another person who tends to take my money in poker...She is also not a very cool person, ha! Its times like monday night that I truely wish Natalie would have come so I could have kicked her butt in that fabulous game. I would like to take this moment to say my friend Mel, did not make it to the winners table . I think I’m going to take my chances and play her and Natalie again…

I am thinking of putting on a permanent poker night...so if anybody is interested in playing, let me know and reply back to what night would work....I'll keep everyone updated on my winnings (losings?)

As of now,
Lost a lot, won one game!! ha....
