We no longer need t.v. to control us by the big networks or cable companies. Anyone having trouble with cancellations should just start an Online TV network and play their show online. Loyal followers would watch! T.V. ratings are so irrelevant considering half the people record or watch their show online later! How do you keep a thing like the Nielsen Ratings going? Long live the canceled shows of tomorrow! I’m serious about this, it makes perfect sense for many reasons. There’s a lot of money in an Online TV Network and I’m sure to see it in my lifetime. There are also thousands of producers in Hollywood, NYC, etc who would just jump at such an experience. Please take my idea because I don’t have the money to foot the bill or the know how.
The Wedding was amazing! I cannot believe how fast the day came and went! A lot of love for two average guys and that means a lot! Go Ashley for all her hard work on the photos! And as I said earlier today: “A wedding is nothing without all those special people who make it worthwhile. Thanks to the girls, the guests, the friends, the family!” Thanks to everyone for making the day so special. We were so happy you could be there for us!

And to everyone who couldn’t make it, I can’t wait to show you the pictures!
I’d be happy if tomorrow when I wake up, health care, in America would be free, instead of striving for “affordable health care”. I believe in my president and I voted for Obama, but I think it’s time we make some hard decisions. Decisions that will make some people lose their jobs, but in the end it would be worth it. I think it’s time that The White House scrap this health care plan for a free health care plan. Why are we one of the only free countries in the world without a universal and free health care plan?
Is there a conspiracy for population control in America? Or are there just some people out there that want to keep on getting richer. Even though I believe in some conspiracy theories, I don’t believe that the government is refusing to switch over to free health care because they want to control population growth. What I do believe is these insurance companies are crooked, the doctors are making way too much money for 7 or 8 minute consultations, and people without health care are going broke trying to stay well. This sort of thing would not happen in other countries which provide their citizens with free health care.
For those who don’t know what it’s like not having health insurance let me give you an idea. I was diagnosed with acute bronchitis in December. The doctor prescribed a number of things including an inhaler to help me breathe better. The total amount for drugs was about $160, out of pocket. The total bill after seeing this well educated man for 8 minutes was about $360, out of pocket. That means my doctor charges about $45 a minute. Do you know anyone else who makes that much? Granted not all of that money will go to my doctor, but it certainly feels like a lot of money to pay someone to make it all better. The argument of course is can you put a price on your well being? Yes, $500.
Imagine you are a parent with no health care and you make too much to qualify for any sort of state help, but you don’t make enough to pay $1,000 for two kids who get really sick. Of course you should have health insurance, life insurance, home owner’s insurance, car insurance but how do you afford to live after all these insurances? How does anyone stay well and get ahead in a country like America? The truth is this is where some of the poverty comes from, not all of it, but some. You go broke trying to fix your kids broken leg because he fell off a slide at the park.
Now I’m not here to pick on insurance companies. I’m here to pick on this health care issue. America needs free health care, since all these taxes you charge us, a large percent we will never see again, why not have the taxes go towards health care. Forget about my social security because we all know that money doesn’t grow on trees and there’s no social security left for the youth of America. Why do you think 401k’s exist?
Anyway the whole thing frustrates me because I fear going to the doctor. Not because I’m afraid of going to the doctor, but I’m afraid to open my mail and have a heart attack over the bill. That fear is unnecessary but it’s there because health care is about making money and not about making people better. Sure doctors become doctors to save lives, but their sworn oath only provides for those who have the coverage or the money!
Bottom line here is give us free health care because we’re Americans and we deserve to get more back than a tax return. I don’t need a tax refund, I need free health care!
Crunches: 0. Those start at my next work out. Just really wanted to see how serious I was about this. Now that I’ve started I have no intention on stopping.
Here’s the Weekly photo:
I’m hopeful that my body can be conditioned back into some old version of me.
Anytime I’m pissed off about the ignorance that so many people display I watch this video or listen to the mp3 version. I’m aware that the original is the best, but for me, these added verses fit life as it is today:
———————— Imagine
By John Lennon (additional lyrics by Lady Gaga)
Performed by Lady Gaga
Imagine there’s no Heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
And only Matthew in the sky*
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday that you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
People of the nation
Are you listening
It isn’t equal if it’s sometimes
I want a real democracy
Imagine all the people
Could love equally
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing in the world
With nothing to hate
And nothing to think
Just people to love
And friends to have drinks
You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
————————
Letting go of hate is so hard for me, but I’m letting go and giving it back to this song! “Imagine all the people living in peace.” I think John Lennon would be so proud to know that his song and his message still live on today.
I really want to be and think more like this song. So I renounce all my hate on people and I will just agree to disagree. And, yes, readers, that does include Perez Hilton, too. It takes more energy to hate than any other emotion I know.
As you may have noticed I must be in this mood for some reason and this is all I have to say about it.
Today something was told to me, which I’ve decided to keep to myself, but let it be known that I’m not particularly impressed with anyone who laughs at love. It’s simply wrong. I despise having to be a bigger person and let this go. The old me would very much like to get into a huge argument or an all out brawl. However I realize that would hurt a lot more people and make me just as ignorant.
Sometimes ignorance is a wicked thing and I do not understand how people can be the way they are, but I’m sure that they laughed because they are blind. They cannot look beyond their own prejudices and skewed views on what they think love is. Most people at least have enough respect to hold their composure and keep their rude responses to themselves, but to each their own. All I have to say to all that is:
“Imagine all the people could love equally.”

Today my sister and I found out that the front door was left open at my Dad’s house. Thus the kittens have either ran away or escaped. It’s really sad and I feel really bad for my sister.
My brother, my brother’s friend, and my father have been trying to catch them. I wish my sister wasn’t here in Indiana because she’d be able to get the cats home. I feel very bad for her and I feel completely discouraged about the whole damn thing! I hope we get some good news tomorrow, but my magic 8 Ball says, “Outlook not so good.”
Just received a call that one of the cats has returned from his adventurous day outdoors, we’ll see if the other follows…
This is just one big episode of failure for me because I spent a lot of time catching wild kittens. I was trying to save them from the outdoors because they were just 6 week old kittens and it was raining. Now I’ve learned that I don’t wanna try any of this ever again! I get too emotional and I care too much.
My new motta is to turn a blind eye and stop giving
I have found a new friend on YouTube who has recently taken offense to my nude videos with the scarf. He can’t get enough of me because he keeps coming back for more. His first comment was so stereotypical of a YouTube user who has a lack of vocabulary and a lack of intelligence. Instead of saying something like, “You are selling out by being naked on YouTube and it really grosses me out,” he says, oh so neanderthal, “u gay get a life !!!”
To most people, I don’t have to explain how lame and brave people become by having a user account on YouTube. People enjoy the anonymity of getting to say whatever they want and getting away with it because it’s the internet. All of a sudden these people possess all this power, where they can wreak havoc on other YouTube users and they say things like, “ur gay” and “u suck”. If I had this power, which I don’t, because I choose to make myself known, I’d be a little more clever. I haven’t been in high school since 2002, but I can tell you there is no difference from high school to adulthood, you may not have bullies anymore, but you now have bullies at work and cyber bullies online.
Let’s show how far TheCorrosion has decided to go with this fun. Of course I am of no help because I like my freedom of speech and can sound just as dumb as my new found fan! Enter the screen shots from my videos “Baby It’s Cold Outside” and “Naked Boy“. If you’ve never read YouTube comments, remember the first comment is at the bottom. So you read from bottom to top.
From “Baby It’s Cold Outside”
From “Naked Boy”
We’ll see how far this war goes. I enjoy this shit because if they piss me off enough, I eventually make a video and no one can blast someone on YouTube as good as I can. Full of myself? You better believe it! I have tried Googling TheCorrosion, but I have had no such luck. All I’m sure of is that he is obviously male, until further notice, he’s 28 years old and the kicker: he’s from Canada. Why is it all my YouTube Haters are in different countries? Oh well, I’m sure this will be fun for a little while!
I admit that it is my own fault for not getting tickets when they first went on sale. But never, since like fucking Britney Spears (pre-lip syncing days, if there was such a thing), have I wanted to see someone so bad in concert. Lady Gaga is a fucking genius and I really don’t need to go into detail of how obsessed I am with her amazingness!
So I originally wanted to take 6 people to Chicago so we could see her do her thang! Well, of course, they were all sold out, except not. All the tickets have been bought by other companies or fucking scalpers and are reselling the tickets at outrageous prices, but it is my understanding that if they don’t sell the tickets, that all of sudden the venue will magically have new tickets available. Whatever I’m not going to explain ticket sales and shit. But I am going to explain the absurdity of how much 4 tickets run on eBay! Here let me show you:
That’s right! $2,834.00! So being the snotty bitch that I am I sent this message to the seller:
Oh and is it worth that amount of money? No! I love Lady Gaga, but if I’m not walking away with more than a fucking child after spending almost three grand, I don’t think it’s worth it. I guess I’m not as obsessed as I say. But I still pray to Lady Gaga each night before I go to bed, serious!
Wondering where you’d be sitting for that price? Look below:
Nonetheless I still feel that, “I’m your biggest fan! I follow you until you love me, papa, Paparazzi!”
For the last two months I’ve been having issues walking in and out of stores because I thought my new phone was setting the alarms off.
Yesterday, Danny and I went to the mall. Our first stop was Barnes & Noble Bookstore. When we walked through the door I set the alarm off. Immediately,without looking around, I feel embarrassed. I imagine massive amounts of people looking at me and pointing, “He stole something!” I then ask you how can I steal something if I haven’t even walked through your door yet? I just shrugged and say quietly to anyone who may or may not care, which no one does care, “…It’s my new phone. It sets off alarms.”
So we look around and we go towards the media area. Here I will have to walk through another alarm and set it off, yet it again. I walk through and suddenly, “Beep!!!”
The lady putting cds away says, “Hi there.” And I pretend that it was nothing.
Danny and I look around some more and I see some movies I’ve been dying to buy from now until the rest of my life. Basquiat with David Bowie as Andy Warhol. Huge fan of the YouTube clips of this movie! Want this movie. Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs, of all the Disney movies, I’ve never owned this one.
Out we walk from the media area and guess what happens on my way out? BEEP! BEEP!
A thousand people, I feel, are now looking and pointing at me thinking I stole something! “You over there! I don’t believe that your phone has set off the alarm! Pull your pants down and lets see what you are hiding!” I swear to God! It sucks, in this particular situation, to be the center of attention!
So quite, manically, I say to the lady, “I think my phone keeps setting off these alarms can I try and figure out for sure what it is?”
She doesn’t seem to mind. So I walk my coat through and no beeps. Then I have Danny walk my phone through. No beeps.
“It’s okay,” she says. “You don’t need to take your clothes off.”
By this point I do indeed have a rather small audience watching me. At this point I really could care less. I proceed to think, “maybe it’s my belt, that’s metal.” I wave it through and there are no beeps!
I walk through and I of course beep. Please somebody please deactivate me, so that I can shop like a normal person again! Sure I’m making a huge ass of myself, but you know, when you set off every alarm in every store you shop at for two months, you start to wonder!
The nice lady says, “Sometimes it’s your wallet. They put those tags in your wallet and sometimes they forget to deactivate them.” She looks a little less worried now that I’ve retrieved my coat covered in Twilight memorabilia buttons, my belt now back around my waist and my scarf back around my neck.
I take my wallet and give it to Danny and he walks through and the alarm goes off. We tell her thank you and proceed towards the exit into the food court. Boy, do I ever need some comfort food, for two reasons: I’m hungry and I just made a huge ass of myself. As we walk out of Barnes & Noble I set off the other alarm. BEEP! The army awaits to arrest me in the food court for stealing the invisible book from Barnes & Noble Bookstore!
Well! Today I emptied out my wallet and all of it’s contents and I did not find anything attached to my wallet. I did find a little magnetic strip that attaches to sunglasses at your local Target. That cute square thing that is almost impossible to take off your sunglasses, because it’s so damn sticky? Yes that thing! That little thing that measures 1.5 sq inches… THAT LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT? Yes! That’s what has been setting off the alarms! It got stuck to the back of my debit card and has been wreaking havoc for the last two months! Well no more!
Such a small thing. To cause such big drama in my life!
These sunglasses have caused so many problems! But I still love them!
Luckily, Oscar de la Renta has gone Walmart with his prescription mens glasses. I needed a new pair because let’s face it, the old ones, were from three prescriptions ago. Let’s just date them 2005. So now I’ve got these sexy ones which I do enjoy for those days when contacts are just unbearable. If you wear contacts 24/7/365 like I do, you totally understand! Here’s a picture I took with my phone earlier today:
Today or yesterday, as in October 20, 2009 was an eventful day. Started the day getting my hair colored, finally have some depth, thanks LNZ! Followed by a trip to Walmart where my glasses had finally arrived after 2 weeks of waiting. Let’s dive into that story a little more, shall we?
So almost two weeks ago I ordered a pair of glasses, which are pictured above. Originally they were suppose to be in last Thursday, however, they forgot to include my prescription. Thus my glasses arrived with plastic lenses that do not improve your eye sight at all. So they had to be ordered a second time with the prescription. I was unaware that people would pay for glasses without prescriptions, well there’s fashion for you.
Back to my day (today or yesterday, which ever you prefer). As I picked up my glasses I thought it would be wise to also order another set of contacts. Well of course that was no easy task, because my old doctor’s writing is undecipherable, isn’t that a requirement for a doctor? Anyway they had to call him and I left to tour our furniture store and hang out with Danny for awhile. When I returned, an hour later, they had deciphered the hieroglyphics.
I had asked the eye technician or whatever you call them, why I had one box of Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism and one box of Acuvue Oasys from my last set I had ordered. Apparently the person who ordered them 6 months ago had made a mistake or “checked the wrong box.” But I am suppose to be wearing both Advance and not Oasys. However I had a dispute with this because I know that the Oasys let’s your eyes breathe better and certainly my left eye felt better than the right the last 6 months.
I asked if we could switch to both Oasys and so of course they had to call my previous doctor back again because Dr. Griffin was the one who prescribed this to me. He said no. Of course he would say no because that’s what he does. He also told the technician that they would have to see me first and make sure that the contacts worked okay in my eyes. Well, if I’m not mistaken, for 6 months I wore the contacts just fine in my left eye. I didn’t get why I had to see a doctor to be given the “ok” for something so minute. Then I suggested to the technician if he could ask Dr. Wilson (my new doctor) if it’d be ok if I switch…
Dr. Wilson also said I would have to make an appointment to see him to get the go ahead: so I could wear something better, more breathable for my eyes. God forbid my eyes get oxygen free of charge. I would be charged a sitting fee of $30 to let Dr. Wilson stare into my pupils and check my sight with the same prescription (but with just better, more breathable, light weight contacts). So I asked when could the doctor see me and I was told I’d have to wait another half hour. I had already spent a total of 2 hours living in the land of the Walmart Vision Center. So I said forget it and decided, screw them, I’ll deal with another 6 months with the “ok but not great contacts.”
