An Open Mind

I'm moving!

noreply@blogger.com (sarahann) — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 05:14:00 +0000

Ok, so not literally to a new location, just moving the location of my blog! And also going to be changing the look and feel of things. What I have now is temporary until I can find more time to move more posts over and tweak the look of things a bit more. I'm pretty excited and hope to be able to update and post more now that I am on my own subdomain. WOOT! So please come check it out! http://pipskweek.2one8.com/

I changed the name also, but this will still have the rants from my open mind :D

PipSkweek is a nickname my amazing sister gave me forever ago and thought since I want to write about random things I like and enjoy, and of course, things that piss me off lol, I figured I should personalize it a little bit.

Please let me know what you think!!

Thank you!

RIP The King of Pop

Rest In Piece Michael Jackson

Hearing about Michael Jacksons death was of course a shocker. I didn't know what to think at first, I actually became rather emotional inside. For me, Michael Jackson is such an amazing artist, no one will ever be able to compare to him. His music was the most influential, incredibly written music ever. Its hard to put into words how his music truly impacted my life. I remember listening to him ever since I was little, my dad would tease me because Thriller would scare the shit out of me. But his music was so inspirational, and played a part in giving me such an open mind. Songs like Black and White, Earth Song, Man in the Mirror, Heal the World, They Don't Care About Us, and many others, all were so real and true, he sang it perfectly where you could feel his passion in the lyrics he was singing. And if it wasn't lyrics it was just the song, Remember the Time, Jam, Keep it in the Closet, Scream, and SO many others are just incredible beats and just pretty much perfectly put together and preformed. But his music is so captivating he just grabs you w/ his lyrics and just the flow and beat of his music, just made you want to dance. And oh MAN could he dance. He was so crisp and clean, and perfect w/ his moves, he just never missed a beat. Remember the Time's dance sequel is one of my favorites, along w/ Smooth Criminal, Bad, and countless others [Of course Thrillers choreo was AMAZING] He seriously changed music and dance forever. Its hard to put into words the amount of talent this man really truly had.

No one seems to notice that anymore, all they decided to talk about was the negative things about him, and the shit he was accused of. I would think since he died people would ignore that and possibly giving him the credit he deserves considering he's probably been a musical influence in some of the artists they listen to. Without Michael Jackson we wouldn't have a lot of the artists we do today, only few are true artists, a lot of the shit coming out now is retarded, but thats another post lol.

I thought that the MJ tribute at the 09 VMA's almost made me want to cry, I thought it was awesome for Janet to come out and kind of have her last performance with her brother. The dancing was incredible, it was so well put together I was pretty much speechless and yes Kanye is a douche for what he did to Taylor, he also took away the fact that that night was suppose to celebrated in Michaels memory and Kanye, in my opinion, really disrespected that, and Taylor. But anyway, please feel free to comment about Michaels music and dance and how it has impacted your life. And please, remember him for all his great things, like revolutionizing music and dance forever. And enjoy the videos =]

Thank you

Fashion??

noreply@blogger.com (sarahann) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 02:46:00 +0000

Has anyone else noticed the ugly shit models where on the runway?? Or is it just me? Watching tv lately I've seen all this talk about fashion week that people freak out about to go watch these models w/ barely meat on their bones where hideous outfits. Now don't get me wrong, some aren't that bad and look rather normal like:

But I will never understand how people think this shit is fashion...

I don't think you could pay me enough to where anything like that. Yeah I may just be a jeans and t-shirt kind of chick, but how do people really look at that and think wow that looks amazing.. I just don't get it lol. All these horrible outfits on the runway, and you end up with this:

I'm not sure what statement she was trying to make lol but whatever, I thought at first she might have broken her neck and the bottom left outfit, she just tried to work a neck brace all decked out, but she wore it b/c she wanted to? lol not sure why. I'm all for being an individual and wearing whatever you please, but I guess I just don't understand how people can think some of the things they put out there is fashionable. You'll never see me pay maybe more than 20 bucks for a tshirt, and I will never pay over 50 dollars for a pair of jeans, my weight is so up and down anyway no telling if they'd fit the next week or fall off of me. I also, will never be caught dead or alive wearing skinny jeans. barf in my mouth because those just are hideous. Especially when you have size 15 women trying to fit in a size way too small, seriously, its unnecessary.... Kind of like this:

I mean really, why did you do this to yourself and others, and why did whoever you go out with, let you go out like that? Now I'm not the prettiest, best figured person out there, but I know what NOT to wear in public for the sake of others... oh well life goes on and people wear worse im sure, have any interesting pictures to show of "fashion" or anything related, feel free to comment and post them :)

Thanks!

Greetings :)

What is wrong with US?

noreply@blogger.com (sarahann) — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 00:27:00 +0000

" A string of attacks in the U.S. in the last month left 44 people dead in all.

A gunman killed 10 people and himself in Samson, Ala.; shootings that began with a traffic stop in Oakland, Calif., left four police officers and the gunman dead; an apparent murder-suicide in Santa Clara, Calif., left six dead; and a gunman went on a rampage at a nursing home Sunday, killing seven elderly residents and a nurse who cared for them. "

44 lives are lost, 44 families are still mourning the lose of someone they loved, and that is just in one month! What is wrong with people?? And why do they take the lives of others? Of people they don't even know! It makes me sick, every day on the news its always another sad fucking story, kids shooting up schools in other countries, its always violence and murder... WTF?!

I hate going out in public, for a few different reasons.

1. No one pays the fuck attention to what they are doing. - they are all wrapped up in their cell phone conversation and their own little bubble to possibly consider the person you just cut off, or the fact that you're going 30 in a 45. People need to pay attention and realize they're not the only one in the mall, grocery store, driving on the street, anywhere. It's called manners and consideration and its obviously something NO ONE is teaching their kids anymore.

2. Everyone is in a hurry! Seriously... I do the speed limit because I can't afford a speeding ticket! And I leave early enough that I don't have to hurry. I hate being rushed, I hate being late. My class starts at 8 am and I leave before 7:30 and live not even 3 miles from my school. Traffic is hell after 7:30 and its full of everyone in a hurry to get to work. if its 40 mph I'm not going to go over 45. I don't want to get pulled over, that will make me late, plus cops camp the same spot almost everyday so no, I'm not going to speed up even though you're on my ass. Go around, and kiss my ass while you're at it.

3. People need to GET OVER THEMSELVES! Ok so, you're walking in a store and someone damn near misses your grocery cart because they don't have the decency to look where they are going and realize they're not the only one in the fucking store. People have no regard for anyone, its like you expect everyone to be cautious and watch out for you and you just go along as you please, w/ no regard for how you're treating people around you.

I strongly believe smiles are contagious, I wish I could say the same for kindness. Everyone has problems, and places to be, and things to do, not just you. So slow down, and maybe smile for once, hold the door open for someone if you meet them at the door. Let someone go ahead of you if you meet them at an intersection. Everyone seems to be so pissed off all the time. Don't get me wrong, life fucking sucks, but that doesn't mean you have to let it effect you, because you don't know how you effect someone else. It's sad to say that a lot of all this is because of horrible parenting. Parents that didn't take them time to teach their kids true values in life, and manners, and respect. I don't have to know you to respect you. I lose respect for you when you disrespect anyone, including yourself. I can only hope that one day there might actually be somewhat peace on earth, where we can all just get along and just..

Sorry for the long delay

Man its been forever it seems since I've wrote. I really haven't had much to say, I've been really busy with school and work.

I recently watched 2 good documentaries. One was Super Size Me:

I have to say I have not thought about eating McDonalds since I watched this in my digestive system class LOL. If you don't watch all of the movie, at least watch this quick video that was an extra feature.

The other one I watched was Murderball. It was really good, these are some bad ass guys, lol.

Well I hope you enjoy these 2 documentaries as much as I did. Let me know what you think :)

I came across this just now and had to share it. I thought some of it was pretty funny. Enjoy and if you think its missing one, leave a comment and I'll add it to the list lol. Thanks!

Women, learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not considered by us to be opportunities to see if we can find the perfect present again!

Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.

Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

Don't cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you're stuck with her.

Ask for what you want. Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

We don't remember dates. . . .Period!!

Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?

Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. We've been tricked before!!

If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic.

You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.

The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your girlfriends.

ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.

If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing", we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.

Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it's Bruce Lee or some war flick where it doesn't really matter what they're saying anyway.)

BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.

So yet another year begins... and we are 1 year closer to the end of the world. For those of you going... wha? Check out this site. There are quit a few theories from prophets and such that on 12/21/12 the world will end. Some theories believed are: Planet X will collide with the earth, there will be a polar shift, another is that there will be natural disasters that will basically fuck the place up. There are many other people that have 'predicted' this as well, the Mayans, Nostradamus, even Albert Einstein. I am not the most knowledgeable person about this subject so I am just posting this to get the information out, that our time on earth might be not be as long as we all would think or hope. History channel has came out with a video on it HERE. So check this stuff out, it can start to make you think. Anything is possible...

Also, remember to check out my other blog, it has some great videos :)

Thanks everyone! Hope 2009 brings you nothing but happiness!

Free scam report.com

noreply@blogger.com (sarahann) — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 18:21:00 +0000

So first I hope everyone had a great holiday season. And has a safe new year!

Okay, so we've all seen the completely annoying commercials for this stupid service. "Free" Credit report... well I wanted to get a copy of my report b/c I have student loans and my old car on my credit and I wanted to see how bad my credit really is lol.

Well I did notice that it said if I didn't cancel within 30 days after signing up etc that I would be charged monthly for the service because they also send emails letting you know if your score goes up or down etc. I did this in the beginning of 08 and I DID call and cancel, I do remember the lady from some foreign country (gotta love outsourcing) saying I had some alert or something on my account and recommended me keeping it open, well I didn't want that because I did not want to get charged. At that point in time my online billing had still NEVER worked so I really didn't keep track of finances as good as I should have.

So lets fast forward about 6 or 7 months (and going into the negative a few times w/ no idea how) to when my fiance wanted to get a copy of his. Now not realizing the 'game' had changed, instead of 30 days it was 7 days then you get charged.. so he called in to cancel his service after being charged once because we forgot or didn't know (can't remember). But the next month I noticed another charge of 14.96 from Advantage. We were okay with the one charge because that was our bad for not reading the fine print, but he canceled so we called to try and get our money back for the second charge. After speaking with someone he could barely understand my fiance hung up extremely frustrated. They said he was only charged once which then got us thinking, so I started digging through our account history online to see more and more charges of this 14.95. So we called in again and come to find out I was being charged every month for when I signed up for this "free" credit report.

Now I KNOW that I canceled, I don't have anything drawn automatically out of our account to be safe so WHY would I let them charge me every month for something I only wanted to use once. The lady said that her notes said I wished to keep my account open because of that alert on my account. I told her then the person that told me they canceled my account is a liar because she told me it was canceled (back in Jan). So at this point I'm pretty livid and asking for a supervisor, which they wouldn't get one for me, and for my money back. Well apparently they could only refund me back once. So I accepted that because hell it was better than nothing. So after being extremely pissed for being ripped off and scammed I had to get our money back.

We started at our bank and did a stop payment for that company so they were blocked from taking any money from our account. (Which actually cost us $15 lol) We also were able to do some paperwork and our bank ended up crediting us for 2 of the charges. Which was awesome of them to do but we still had over 80 dollars that went to this stupid scam so I wasn't satisfied and wanted my money back. So I went online and filed a report with the BBB. It had a section asking what happened etc, and what I wanted the outcome to be, so I put I want my money back for the charges that were being made to me w/o my consent and that were being charged w/o my knowledge.

Less than a week later I had a credit for $89.70 from the CIC*TRIPLE ADVANTAGE that had repeatedly charged me $14.95 and had actually caused my account to go into the negative a few times because I didn't plan on it being taken out. Here is a nice screen shot I put together so you can see. So in conclusion FREECREDITREPORT.COM IS A SCAM!!! They will tell you that your account is canceled but will in fact keep it open and keep charging you. Plus they outsource their jobs which while thousands are losing their jobs here...

To File a complaint to try and get your money back you can do so HERE. You'll want to file it with Freecreditreport.com / Cictripleadvantage.

I also read that the retard singing in those commercials (he is so annoying) actually got a 5 album record deal w/ rocafella/island def jam records. WOW. I wouldn't even pirate that shit (as my fiance stated) lol.

Okay, well that is all for now, please comment and if you've been scammed by this company or any others please leave your story, will probably use them for future posts. Also, you can leave love in my shout box to the left, which has been getting lots o spam LOL.

Take it easy!

New Post on Other Blog!

noreply@blogger.com (sarahann) — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 01:51:00 +0000

I don't want to just double post, so please go check out my other blog and let me know what you think. I still have some Christmas shopping to do ugh. I hate driving this time of year, everyone is crazy lol seriously. I swear someone runs a red light at every stop light. I brake almost every time I see the yellow, to be safe. Plus my wreck really freaked me out. So I am just going to wait till my mom and sis are hear and see if they'll take me on my next day off... I hate driving w/ no heater too. I left my house and didn't even need a hoodie today. and then not even 2 hrs later it was freezing cold. I hate the weather here. It sucks. Okay well, have a great week everyone , drive safe.

I pwn you... wtf?

noreply@blogger.com (sarahann) — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 22:29:00 +0000

I do! My fiance has always been a gamer. And when we got our own place he introduced me into the gaming world. I've always played stupid little games, and never got into actually playing multiplayer, mainly because I always had dial up growing up, and for the first time had cable <3.>
Yeah, I was like holy shit, that is hacker stats right there, except if I really hacked I probably would have got more kills. And for the record I don't hack, in fact I spec people a lot b/c I hate hackers, they completely ruin the game and should own up and play for real. But if they didn't have their hacks, they wouldn't be able to kill anyone.

Anyway. So the fiance plays COD more than I do because I suck horribly at COD. I haven't been playing long but most the time I die more than I kill. We play COD 1.5 I think. Its a fun game, I enjoy it, I just suck at it lol.

Okay so on to the PWN thing. I'm sorry but GAY!! lol and no disrespect to those that are gay, but I hate reading that word. It doesn't make you cool, it makes you look like a moron because you can't spell. Or maybe they're just missing the actual o which is located not far from p, and are too lazy to backspace... either way I hate it. Its retarded. Is it an emo thing maybe? I have no idea where it came from but it just needs to go away. But I won't go into emo because thats another post. So anyway, have a great week all. Peace Out!

Any Ideas and movie reviews

noreply@blogger.com (sarahann) — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 04:39:00 +0000

So, I'm needing some good ideas for blog topics. I have a pretty boring day since I work at home. I do remember now that I have some logs from some chats I could post b/c of the boredom my co-workers and I usually deal w/ everyday. I've actually been training the past 2 weeks. It's been a lot of fun. But will be glad when I get my normal schedule back and don't have to set the alarm anymore.

Okay so I do have plans to write about 2 movies I've watched recently. Take into consideration I'm not a movie critic just talking :)

So I have concluded I'm a pretty big fan of Will Smith movies. He never seems to fail. This movie was great in my eyes. It was entertaining to watch and had great actors. I really haven't watched movies like I used to. I actually downloaded this one to watch it. And wasn't disappointed I definitely recommend watching it and might post links for you all to download it at some point. I watched I Am Legend at the IMAX and thought it was a great movie too. Will Smith is just a great actor, his wife is bad ass too, if you didn't know she's actually in a band called wicked wisdom. Check them out, I bet you'll be surprised :)

Okay next:

Where to start... This was a great movie and no doubt that Heath Ledger played this role perfectly. He was such a talented actor and throughout watching it just couldn't believe we'd no longer be seeing him in movies :( This movie to me was great, just really long. At one point I thought there would be a sequel but I'm wondering if they added the ending the way it was because Heath wouldn't be able to be in a sequel. Only downfall was how long it was. We started losing interest at the end but I had to finish it. I definitely think Heath deserves awards for this role. Christian Bale I think is the name of who played Batman, he did a good job also. I like him in the movie The Prestige, I thought it was done very well also. So I recommend this movie as well as Hancock, both were very good.

Okay... so thats about it lol. Sorry so boring, I just haven't seen many movies lately. BUT please comment and if you have any ideas of what I should write about let me know. Or, leave a note in the shoutbox, it would be greatly appreciated. The one subject I could talk about forever is music, but its easier in a conversation than just talking about it. I did create a post I don't remember when about music you can check it out here.

Okay so I'm going to go game :) Later!

New Blog!

noreply@blogger.com (sarahann) — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 03:33:00 +0000

wOoT. I created another blog to go w/ this one. Don't ask why, I don't really know. I guess boredom got the best of me lol. But check it out! Its on my blog list or you can just click >here<.
So nothing really new going on just work. Oh fun. I worked today (Thanksgiving) but it was time and half so I can't complain. Anyways so this was just a little update to check out my new blog :)

Thanks!!

Check it Out!!

noreply@blogger.com (sarahann) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 08:04:00 +0000

I made a bad ass playlist! lol its at the bottom of my page, for some reason you might have to scroll aaaalllllllllllll the way down for it to start, but I think its pretty bad ass. It has some of my favorite songs by my favorite bands/artist. Some new stuff mixed with some old and some heavy mixed with some soft. Hopefully this has music that interests others also and they'll come back to listen to it :) I know my blog isn't much now, I'm trying to think of some great posts to write. For some reason I've just have had one massive brain fart lately lol.

Well, we get to pick up our car from the mechanic tomorrow. Well, since its 2 am, today. I'm pretty excited. We have a 92 licoln continental (yeah I know) lol it was my dads and when I totalled mine he gave me his, he rocks. It's actually a pretty smooth ride... well was lol. We just got the power steering and radiator fixed. But still have some work to do lol. This is what is left on our check list of what needs to be fixed:
- heater core
- ignition
- brakes
- usually the hood stays up by itself, but not anymore, gotta get that fixed
- the drivers side seatbelt doesn't always like to work, i have to flip it over for it to work
.....ummm lets see what else
- oh the DCL or dash basically, its all electric and it fucking BEEPS repeatedly at times to let you know something is wrong. The dash is cracked where my dad beat the shit out of it to try and get it to quit beeping lol
- the cd player in the radio doesn't work either for some reason
and I think thats it, except we need new windshield wipers lol
but that is it... for now

Its a pretty pimpin ride tho lol. I'm just glad I'm finally legal, after my wreck my license was suspended (oops) so I had to drive around and hide from cops, but thankfully we seriously drive it like twice a week and that is usually across the street. For awhile our tag was bad too and we didn't have insurance. But I guess you can say life is looking up because it is completely legal for me to drive now :) and I paid my fines. WOOT
Now to just fix the damn thing.
This is what I did to my beautiful, amazing cobalt *facedesk*

Oops.

Fuck that really sucked too. And if you notice the guy that hit me, the truck, yeah had barely any damage! Fucker. But ever since I'm scared to death of left turns, I will drive around the block to not make a left turn on a busy street. It freaks me out! It was my first wreck and thank God I didn't get hurt. The firemen and cop told me if it would have been a little more back or forward I could have rolled or got really hurt. Ugh, that was one of the worst days of my life!

But you live, you learn. And boy did I learn my lesson lol. Now I get made fun of by my lovely passenger Geno for driving like a grandma, but oh well.

Okay well its getting late and I'm getting tired. So night!

I finally played around in photoshop tonight for first time in awhile. This is what I came up w/ lol. Nothing special except the man in it :)

It was really slow at work tonight. A few busy moments but other than that I just about fell asleep in my chair. I am so ready for the next few days off. Grocery shopping tomorrow. WoOt. I think I'm going to put up the recipe I'm going to experiment w/. And let you guys know how it turns out. Nothing too amazing going on in this post. Just me buying time till I can go to sleep.

noreply@blogger.com (sarahann) — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 17:24:00 +0000

I don't get it? Why? Why do this to someone? You give them the chance to finally let them share their love in marriage to only take it away. If you've ever experienced being in love, whether straight, gay, black, white, whatever it doesn't matter. There should be no restriction on love. It is something so special and so amazing that everyone should be able to have it and have the option to marry if they choose. Why take that away from someone? What does it matter to you? How is it hurting you to let others express their love through marriage? Seriously? This is so fucking irritating. WHO CARES? It doesn't cost you money for 2 men or 2 women to get married. It doesn't cost you a fucking thing to let to people share their love for one another.

This country has come far when it comes to equality, we get a step closer to actually being a UNITED States(Obama being first black Pres), but yet, this ban comes in place which just makes us more divided. What's next, because someone decides to share happiness w/ someone of the same sex they're not going to be able to eat at certain places? I mean come on. Oh it bothers you to see 2 men holding hands, and lord forbid they kiss in front of you. Well fuck you, it makes me absolutely sick to see you at all. How does that make you feel? Or better yet, I hate to see you kiss your loved one and express your love for one another. Feel shitty yet? You should. Why keep happiness from someone? Especially when it really doesn't effect you in any way. 2 people should be able to express love for each through marriage, no matter the age, race, sex, or anything. It doesn't matter. Love is love. Something so amazing has these restrictions. 'Oh, you can't get married because you love another woman.' What kind of country are we?

Someone said that because Obama won presidency that our country is just going to be more divided. I said yeah, if the you let it. We don't have to be, the people of America CHOOSE to be divided. Because they can't get over themselves, and have too much pride. I don't know how, I'm not proud of this country. We've been going downhill for years. Call me unpatriotic I don't give a fuck, I don't hate American's, I hate our gov't. The people fucking us over. The people that will do something like 9/11 and use it to get us into a bullshit war. I support our troops all the way, but not this fucking war. We're rebuilding a country that has enough of its own money to rebuild itself. It's time to bring our troops home and rebuild OUR country. The country people dream of living in... I don't see how now. We have to go into debt to stay alive unless you have top of the line health insurance. Even if you do, the insurance companies will find loop holes and ways to make you pay. Its bullshit. We're one of the only countries that have to pay to go see a doctor and to see if we're going to live another 5 years. Its just completely ridiculous. And for those of you against socializing health care. GET OVER YOURSELF.

What if your loved one got extremely sick, but because they don't have health insurance, they can't go to the hospital without having to pay an ass load of money, and go into debt, just for someone to tell them what is wrong w/ them. Not to mention they'll probably have to wait 4 hours just to see someone. Wouldn't you want socialized health care then? So they can just walk into the hospital whether they have money or not and get proper treatment. It makes me sick that people are so selfish to basically not care if another human dies. Our gov't doesn't give a fuck, apparently a lot of our citizens don't either. People need to get over themselves and swallow their pride. I am hoping things get better in this country because of course, I have debt and I can't move the fuck out of here!

President Elect

noreply@blogger.com (sarahann) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 00:17:00 +0000

Now before I go on I have to let you know I did not vote, I didn't want Obama or McCain as President. And since I couldn't vote for who I truly believe should run our country I didn't vote at all. Which if I would have, it would have been for Obama.

Anyway,
Now that we have made history w/ our new President a lot of people are mad. I honestly would like to know why someone voted for McCain, not why you didn't want Obama, but what was it about McCain that you liked enough to give him your vote. I know a lot of people didn't vote Obama because of race, age, experience, and because of his name, and if you voted only on those reasons, shame on you. We live in land of freedom where we are all equal, you are no better than I, nor I am any better than anyone. Our country has gone to shit. And its not Obama's fault, its not McCains fault, and its not all just Bush's fault. I don't believe McCain would have been able to fix this country, just like Obama won't. Not in a 4 yr term anyway. A lot of people think our country is going to go to shit because of Obama, well wake up people our country has been on that steady downhill climb for awhile now.

So all I am wanting is reasons why you supported McCain.
Not reasons why you don't like Obama, what is something that McCain stood for that you believed in and supported? Are you supporting his causes and what he stands for? Or are you supporting the fact that he has more experience? Or did you support him just because he's not Obama, and what is it that you don't like about Obama?
I do have to say tho, that I do believe Palin is a joke, her interview w/ Curic was ridiculous. (I believe shes half the reason McCain lost) If she was VP I would be worried because of how close she would have been to being President, if something were to happen to McCain. People talk about Obama's inexperience, but yet they think she has enough experience to take on the roll of President. Which I find funny.

But anyway, feel free to respond w/ why you support McCain. I'm sure this will bring on people getting pissed of and unleashing their anger, go for it. If this pisses you off, sorry, this is the beauty of Freedom of Speech.
I do have to say that I hope Obama does well w/ his term, and really tries to pick up this country from the shit hole its been thrown into. We'll see what type of "terrorist attack" our government thinks up to test him as our new President.

Please, if you have not seen it, watch this movie :

Triple threat!

So, G and I decided to finally get out and do something for ourselves since we had some cash to do so. So we went and saw Papa Roach, Seether, and Staind here. It was awesome, I've seen all 3 bands before but for all 3 together that is just too bad ass. I thought I wouldn't be able to get my camera in so I just took an old cell phone that recorded video. And got a few good songs. The audio actually isn't bad, video is shit however lol. So here are a few that I recorded:

This is Papa Roach, they had an amazing set, a great wind up band that is for sure!

Seether playing "rise above this" Listening to him sing this live gives me chills, such an awesome fuckin song.

Seether again playing "Broken" another great song, you can't really tell in video but he had some of the members of red on stage.

Staind playing "Right here waiting" they did an awesome job as well. Played a lot more of their older stuff than their newer which was good.

okay so audio on the last one isn't the greatest, but oh well, it was awesome.

Funny video

This is pretty funny

good bye freedom

noreply@blogger.com (sarahann) — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 00:05:00 +0000

Well, here comes hell. The bailout bill didn't pass the house, so now tonight the senate is going to vote on it. Without it even passing the House... to my understanding everything has to pass the House then it goes to the Senate. I wish WE could take back our votes and call for a revote when it comes to voting for president. Cause then maybe we would have when Bush ran for 2nd Term. And when McCain wins, because it will probably be rigged, we won't be able to revote! Can't even call for a recount. This electronic voting system is shit, not like it can't be hacked or anything or like we'll ever really know. I'm starting to hate it here more and more.
They rewrote that bill and so now, we can't even investigate or know where this over 700 billion dollars is going.
I'm scared for the future of this country. I must say I am thankful hubs and I can't have kids now because I wouldn't want to raise my kids in this country. Everyone comes here illigally cause its the 'land of opportunity' when over 600,000 people have lost their jobs.
This bailout is just going to push off the collapse of the economy and stock market. G and I are trying to get a backup plan. If our apt complex goes under we have to find a place to live. And since the price of food is doing nothing but rising and will only rise we have to stock up on food and water and everything we can.

We pretty much no longer have a middle class, just lower and upper. You either barely kinda sorta make it by, or you make it by with flying colors and don't have to worry about how you're going to eat the next week. It's fucking rediculous and pisses me off. Here we are w/ debt we can't pay off because we're barely making it by to pay all of our bills and rent. we're doing better now than we were 6 months ago that is for sure, but seriously life kinda sucks, and being stuck here just makes it worse.

Please pray or do whatever you do, for this country, we need it.

Shout it out!

noreply@blogger.com (sarahann) — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 04:47:00 +0000

I added a little shout box at the bottom of the page! Everyone drop a word! I'm going to write this like a lot of people actually read it lol. Sorry I haven't posted anything. Been working a lot and haven't really had anything great to blog about or can't think of anything. I am rather worried about our economy and what's getting ready to happen. Even with the bailout, its only going to post pone it because its inevitable. I was watching CNN the other night and they had McCain in an interview say that even w/ the bailout he'd be able to balance the budget in I think he said 4 yrs. lol but he said it'd be because he'd make budget cuts in certain places of government, one he mentioned was the defense budget... I'm thinking are you serious? Defense is kinda important in my eyes. lol. Here is a cute picture I took of Taco this week lol. I think he looks like a model.

So its Geno's birthday officially in like 6 minutes. I didn't get to get him what I really wanted but I did get him shit that he needed and won't buy himself. lol he seemed to like it. I gave it to him on like Mon when I bought it cause I dunno, I have this problem where I just want them to open it lol. Taco is playing w/ his food right now lol. I have another picture I took of him I'll have to put it up later cause I don't think I uploaded that one to photobucket. I saw some pretty funny videos and tried to post them however, it didn't let me for some fucked up reason. The myspace videos didn't work, I think I can post the youtube one, one sec... lol

So 3 minutes till I wish Geno happy birthday... oh, 2 lol so gotta go!

Thanks for reading!

Growing up

noreply@blogger.com (sarahann) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 05:03:00 +0000

Growing up sucks! I just turned 20... And it has fucked me up lol. My emotions are crazy. Of course how can a birthday do that? Easily. Becoming an adult is difficult. I'm trying to find my place in the world and find that certain lil comfort spot where I'm comfortable with who I am, where I am proud of who I am. I used to be very proud of who I am and used to know who I was. Now, not so much. I feel like I have a lot to prove to my father, who has maybe told me he's proud of me once, which was when I graduated high school. But I had to hear how I better graduate and not fuck up, when I only needed 4 credits to graduate. Anyway. So I guess I have to constant battle within myself that I'm not aware of to always prove myself. Things are getting better now. Life has been pretty rough the past like forever months but now things are slowly piecing back together. I have this amazing man who I can't live without, but he has someone trying to ruin his life.
I like to think I have it all together upstairs lol when I know thats not always the case. My emotions have calmed down a bit because I'm trying to make changes within myself to be a better person and a better woman above all things. I think I'm getting there. Making progress at least :D
So I haven't really had any good topics to write about lately, so please give me suggestions lol I want to write just am too boring haha, plus have been busy with work. I have to say I have the coolest job ever. I work at home on a computer and get paid over 10 bucks an hour to take chats all day lol pretty easy. Except working with idiots lol *facedesk* which I am doing now so its tah tah for now! Take it easy

Well, I have to say, I had heard of this site but never went there, but finally did and I have to say it fucking rocks. I entered 3 bands, Evanescence, Slipknot, and 10 years and loved just about every song its played. It's like listening to my own playlist, but its making it for me haha. I tried to add the widget but I guess its broken :( Oh well, there is a little button to the left that will launch pandora from here, if only I could get some My Dead X, Rook, or Congress of a Crow to play on it ;)

Well, take it easy!
