Today marks the 15 year anniversary of the death of Selena. So, in honor of her memory, one of my favorite songs (because pretty much every song I like is one of my favorites).
Missing My Baby - Selena
This is the song of the day because no matter how hard I try, I can't get this song out of my head. Which is fine because I don't really want to anyway. Best song on Rated R. :)
Rude Boy by Rihanna
I love this song. I can listen to it 50 times in a row.
Make Her Say by Kid Cudi featuring Kanye West and Common
I freaking love the people at the Apple Store in Hillsdale Mall in San Mateo, CA. Why? Because they felt my pain of my super clean but wet iPhone. In fact, they gave me a 50% discount. All is right in my world again and it's really true. Baby Jesus loves us all.
So my song for today is Thank You by Dido.
I am completely heart broken. I dropped my three day old iPhone into the washing machine by mistake.
So the song of the day is Taps.
Perhaps this is a bit dramatic for you non iPhone users. But once you have one, your life changes. I cannot imagine going back to a regular cell phone. Yes, after only 3 days.
So what do you do? Well according to one Apple Genius at the Apple Store in Hillsdale Mall in San Mateo, CA - you put it in a bowl of dry rice and let the rice absorb the water naturally. And if that doesn't work, the "good news" is I can buy a replacement iPhone for "only" $199. I guess the only real good news out of that statement is that I can upgrade my 8gb 3G iPhone with a 16gb or 32gb 3GS iPhone for $199. Because...everyone has $200 just laying around everywhere right?
Please pray to the Apple Gods, Jesus, Buddah, Allah, and whoever else is out there for the recovery of my iPhone.
And now, a moment of silence.
Today is the 13th anniversary of Biggie's Death. To honor him, I'm posting two songs.
First, is obviously Juicy. If you don't have this in your music collection...shame on you.
Next is Nasty Girl which was released (I think) in 2007. One of my favorite songs. This should also be in your music library.
This is quick because I'm lazy and haven't blogged for three weeks. I'd do the whole word of the day and all that shit...but no one reads my blog anyway and I'm out of work in 7 minutes. Woohoo!!!!
Song of the day for today is Say Something by Timbaland featuring Drake. Enjoy!!
OK, so clearly I have commitment issues even when it comes to blogging. Sorry.
I'm home sick. AGAIN. So I figured I'd do a quick little blog just to pop in and get it done for the day. Since I've been sick all week, I really don't have much worthwhile to discuss. Except that I think the latest season of Nip/Tuck is stupid. But that's not even really worth discussion.
So here it is. My song of the day for today is.....
The Doug Song from the movie Hangover. Why? Because it's awesome. That's why.

Oh, and sorry I didn't post on Friday. I had full intentions of doing it Friday night after I came home from hanging out with friends. But then I got really drunk and went bowling until like 12:30. And then I didn't get home until 2:00. I was pretty sober by then, but it was Saturday. So it wasn't the same. And then of course I was sleeping off and on during the day yesterday just because I could and went and saw Eddie Izzard last night. Which was pretty f**king great, I must say.
Anyway....song of the day!!

Good morning Blog people! So far today, I don't really have much to say. Still in need of some creativity. But how about a song of the day instead? I love music. It's a necessity in my life. I think maybe if I give you a song of the day, that might encourage my to blog more. Song of the day is....(drum roll please)
Two Occasions by The Deele. I love this song. I couldn't even tell you how old it is, but as you can see from the video, it's gotta be from the 80's....right? Aside from the video, the song is timeless. I hope you love it as much as I do.

Alright, so obviously my resolution to blog daily is down the shitter. I haven't been able to because of time constraints, lack of a topic (or lack of a topic I wish to discuss), or just quite simply...lack of motivation.
Just a little bit ago I was surfing Facebook. Looking at friends of friends and so on and so forth. One of these friends of friends has a blog so I checked it out. He hasn't blogged in months, but I thought the concept was pretty cool. And therefore, I plan to try to incorporate his idea into mine.
The beginning of his blogs all list the following:

Dictionary Word of the Day:
Sentence of the Day:
So yeah, I think that's cool. And I'm going to do it. Actually, I guess you could say I'm stealing it because I didn't ask him if it was cool to do it. But I don't know this guy. He's friends of a guy I went to high school with....so yeah....OK, I'm a stealer.
ANYWAY -
that's really all I have to blog about at this particular moment in time. Unless you can tell me the answers to these algebra questions.
1. A cellular phone company offers a contract for which the cost C, in dollars, of t minutes of telephoning is given by C=.025(t-300)+53.95, where it is assumed that t is greater than or equal to 300 minutes. What times will keep costs between $95.70 and $122.20?
2. Solve by elimination method.
5x+6y=1
10x+12y=2
What is the solution of the system?
a. The solution is ____ (type an ordered pair. Use integers or fractions for any numbers is the expression.)
b. There are infinitely many solutions.
c. There is no solution.
3. Soybean meal is 14% protein; cornmeal is 7% protein. How many pounds of each should be mixed together in order to get 280-lb. mixture that is 9% protein?
Alright, so here's the deal. I'm going through some stuff in my life that I care not to blog about. As a result of that, I have no motivation to take pictures of anything. Instead, maybe I'll Google something cool and share it with you here like I did for yesterday's post. So with that being said, here is my picture of the day. I won't tell you what I put in to Google to find it, but I'll just let you have your own interpretation. However, I think it's really interesting considering what I typed in to Google to find it. If I could find this in a print in a store, I most likely would buy it framed and display it in my home.
20/20 List
Very simple. Of course, I stole the idea from Danielle*. C'mon. Do you really think I have an ounce of originality? HA!
OK, so here goes.
20 things that are awesome:
1. Applebee's new "under 550 calories" menu. Because it's good stuff under 550 calories.
2. Old Navy "The Dreamer" boot cut jeans because they are a little stretchy, but not too stretchy. And the front panel slims the tummy. What girl doesn't love that?
3. My iPod because quite simply, I cannot function without it. Seriously.
4. DirecTV because it's everything that Dish Network isn't.
5. Water because it helps fill your tummy, is good for you, if you drink enough it purifies your skin, and because of every other reason that we need water. Water rocks.
6. Gmail because I can sort all my email and pull up stuff that people said 6 months ago if I feel like pulling the bullshit card.
7. Giraffes. Because they're awesome. That's why.
8. Skype because I can talk to my best friend face to face even though she's some odd thousands of miles away.
9. Facebook because I can laugh at people without doing it to their faces.
10. Texting because I hate talking on the phone.
11. Danny because he has my back.
12. Work because as much as it sucks sometimes, it's somewhere to go during the day.
13. Stephenie Meyer because she wrote the Twilight Saga and I love love love it.
14. Jay-Z because he's a lyrical genius.
15. The San Francisco Bay Area because as much as I hate it sometimes, I don't want to live anywhere else.
16. Audio books because I don't always have an attention span long enough to read.
17. Jersey Shore because guidos are just awesome and nonexistent on the west coast.
18. Military people because they do shit I know I'd never be brave enough to do.
19. Bear Naked Vanilla Almond Crunch granola because it's yummy.
20. Play Station 3 because not only can I play video games, I can also watch DVD's, Blu-Rays, chat with friends, and surf the internet on it (if I need to).
20 things that are not so awesome:
1. The war. Bring home our troops.
2. Obama for misleading me. (although, he IS a politician and still the better option)
3. The San Francisco Bay Area because as much as I love it, it's too damn expensive to live here.
4. MTV for never playing music videos.
5. Dishes because they don't wash themselves.
6. Worms, slugs, snails, snakes...anything that slithers because it's gross.
7. Dish Network because it's retarded.
8. Flip flops in the rain for obvious reasons.
9. The fact that my dad never answers his phone.
10. The fact that I've lost the majority of my friends because I moved to the other side of the Bay.
11. UFC because there are two pay per views in the month of February. Neither of which I feel are pay per view worthy. But I'll be getting them regardless.
12. School because it's not as easy as I hoped it would be.
13. When I don't put the clothes away right away because they get wrinkled.
14. Farmville because I spent like an hour harvesting, plowing, and replanting only for it to not be saved for some crazy reason.
15. People that don't control their children....because they don't control their children.
16. Andrew on The Real World DC because I can't stand his face.
17. How slow people drive on The Peninsula. Seriously...wtf??
18. Motorcycles because they scare the hell out of me.
19. Prawns because when they're uncooked then kinda gray and I don't like that.
20. Half hour lunches at work because, really, what's the point?
* Danielle had a 50/50 list. I prefer 20/20. :)
As you may recall, one of my resolutions is to lose weight. I've been doing really well in saying no to my favorite foods. And saying no to...well...just about everything.
Today was the ultimate challenge. Lunch with Nini and Danny at Applebee's. When Applebee's was mentioned to me, I immediately thought of a big fat burger with bacon and cheddar cheese and bbq sauce. mmmm..and french fries.....and a Dr. Pepper.
NO.
I am really trying to do this for real. OK, what are my options?
And then I saw this:
Marinated chicken breast grilled and topped with roasted red peppers, portobello mushrooms, Dijon sauce, and aged cheddar cheese. Served with steamed herb potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
Amazing. So much food I couldn't even eat it all. And the best part? The entire plate of food is only 450 calories.
Amazing. I love Applebee's.
I know. I forgot to blog yesterday. I know, I know. The second day of the New Year and I already missed a day. Sorry! This one makes up for yesterday.
The picture is Danny's brand spanking new iPod. No. Not the one I got him for Christmas. A brand spanking new one. Less than 4 hours old. Why?
Because iPods don't like me. I have a magnet for defective iPods. I probably should stop talking about it so that my iPod doesn't go bad on me. Although, I did have a really bad day with it.
So..I bought Danny an 8gb 5th generation iPod Nano for Christmas. All was fine and dandy until last night. The entire screen went white and there was nothing to change it. I restored....no help.
I panicked because I couldn't find the receipt. I just had it on Wednesday. WTF did I do with it? So I went online to the Best Buy Reward Zone thing and printed my reward thing hoping that would suffice as a receipt. Surprisingly it did.
At Best Buy, I told the woman behind the counter what was going on and all we had to do was go get a new one and bring it back. Woohoo!! So moral of the story, Best Buy is awesome. And don't let me go to the store and select an iPod off the shelf because I will select the only one that is defective.
Since one of my resolutions is to blog every day, I thought I would share this with you as a kick off to the new year. For the record, I do have the coolest son ever. :) Enjoy!
