Saturday Night

OK so Saturday night was so amazing and one of the best nights of my life. The evening began with dinner with the guys: Drew, Gene, and Josh. Me and my Mom met them for Mexican food, we had a lot of fun. Drank margaritas. The waiter even gave them to go cups to take the rest of the pitcher with them us (he didn't know it was illegal.) So then Mom went home and I drove out to Mayfield with the guys to "The Bone Yard." There was a band playing and we drank and danced a lot. I always seem to with those guys. Linda was always there who is my cousin Drew's... friend? So danced the night away and as Josh said, "The Rednecks took over the Bone Yard." I'm not a redneck but are those kind of country boys who wear boots and plaid and drive pickups. So after that we drove Linda back home and she insisted we go swimming. At 3 am!... sure why not. So we drove to a private beach that happened to have the gates unlocked. We don't know who's beach it was but who cares? We jumped in and were diving off the floating dock. It was great. Then we remember, holy crap Josh has to get to the airport, his plane takes off a 5am. So we are rushing to the Cleveland airport and her gets there at 5:20 the lady at the counter was frantically making calls and checking his bag. So we sent him off and he made it, thankfully. We even watched him go through security at everything while we cheered him on and made jokes. He texted after he got through that he was tankful and that meant a lot to him that we sent him off. So it's about 6am and we are sitting in the parking garage watching the sunrise and see the planes take off it was a blast. I didn't get to bed until 3pm the next day! I will never forget how much fun we has. As Laura Marrocco said, "I'm tired just from reading all you did. Oh, to be in your 20's and have so much energy."

I'm back!

Hey guys and gals. So I haven't wrote anything in a while so I figured I'd sign on and let you know what's up. So I've been really busy looking for a job. Let me tell you, that is not going well at all. Every time I think I'm going to an interview for serious adult employment it ends up being something I am entirely to educated or ambitious to do. IE: selling Kirby vacuums or door to door sales in Cleveland. Let's face it, that just not safe for a young lady to be doing. So that's been really tough. Depressing really, I really want to succeed and do well for myself and make money so I can do what I want and have fun. I keep coming up empty handed though. Boo!

Let's talk about Yankee Lake. So recently I have been hanging out a lot with my cousin Drew and his guy friends. OMG I love them, they are so much fun. We always have a blast together. I actually feel honored to be accepted by them to hang out. I like to feel like I can get along with the opposite sex on a platonic level, I really enjoy that. ANYWAYS... Yankee Lake is this place that used to be a lake and now it's a mud pit. So people go there in their truck to go off roading and get muddy while people watch. There is a lot of cute country men, beer drinking, and dancing to country music. Let's face it not exactly my scene. I am so the kind of girl who feels awkward if I'm not: #1 wearing heels, or #2 perfectly coiffed when in public. But I really am a very outdoorsy girl, I feel in my element when I am nature, it's like a religious thing to me. But I had a blast hanging out with rednecks, drinking beer, standing around in the mud, and dancing to country music. The guys are such good dancers. Especially my friend Josh, he is my favorite dance partner because he leads well and knows classic dance technique not the 8th grade slow dance thing. So me and my Mom and the guys went out there and it was so much fun! I can't wait to go back. I even wore boots... lol! So I have a lot to talk about so I am dividing this into two posts.

Errrrr

I am so sick and tired of hearing about Michael Jackson. I dug his music certainly but has no respect for the man because of immoral relations with children. I understand he is innocent in the aspect of not molesting them.. but sharing a bed with them is still inappropriate. So I think Bill O'Reilly really sums it up nicely offering some very strong opinions on Michael Jackson's current place in America.
Here are some HIGHlights:

“Yes the man was an all star entertainer, but that’s it.”

“Jackson’s interaction with children were unacceptable for any adult.”

“His incredible selfishness spending hundreds of millions of dollars on himself while singing We Are The World should make any clear thinking American nauseous."


“Why are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton making this a racial deal. Jackson bleached his own skin and then chose white men to provide existence to his children. To hear Sharpton speak today, you’d think Jackson was Martin Luther King, Jr.”

“Why is he being held up in the African American Community as a pillar of Black America when he bleached his skin.”


“The crowd outside the service was much smaller than predicted. The service itself was well done. But the media coverage was bizarre."

"…and after Michael Jackson was found 'Not Guilty' the American media did not exactly elevate him to hero status. Did it? But now that he’s dead (most likely from an accidental drug overdose). He is a hero. How does that work?"

Also: The city of L.A. is in debt $530 Million. So what do they do.... spend more on a private event to burden the tax payers. According to the mayor's office, the memorial service for the King of Pop cost the city of Los Angeles $1.4 million! Expenses for Tuesday's event included putting extra police on the streets, trash pickup, sanitation and traffic control.
“The city attorney does not want something like this happening again, the city paying (the initial costs) for a private event,” said spokesman for Los Angeles City Attorney Carmen Trutanich. “That’s especially in a cash-strapped city, where people have been furloughed or even lost jobs.”

Another thing not liking Michael Jackson, or calling him a pedophile does not make a person a racist. Shame on the NAACP for playing the race card. It doesn't matter what his race is, even it he was white, his actions still cause the same opinions.

I am beginning to love Bill O'Reilly for being reasonable and making sense of all of this. Check out this video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaqaoGUNjvc&feature=player_embedded
didn't know how to post it. So anyways I'm just sating the facts. I agree with Bill O'Reilly and thinks it was all to much. That's my 2 dollars! =)

The 4th

I had a lot of fun this weekend. We spent a lot of time with Tiffany Green my friend from my days way back in a 4H dog club with her. We saw fireworks in Geneva on the Lake at a really pretty golf course and had an amazing view. The only down side was the lack of a restroom. But we improvised, two of Tiffany's friends won these little lights that go on your finger to light your way. A red light and a blue light, so me and Mom found a place in some trees and did our thing. Conveniently the lights were also used to flag down Friends approaching in the golf course to watch the fireworks with us. We also spent time having barbecues at Tiffany's farm. Tonight I will hopefully go to see the fireworks in Fairport Harbor with my cousin Drew and our friend Josh. I'm excited.
