catching up on some busines....
Hello everyone! I got a lovely email from paul regarding e strip and all the new updates and shit....and i thought, damn, I haven't written in a long while....hence the reason why I am writing again....so I hope everyone is doing great....and I will try to post more often.


....so, things have been good....Las Vegas is actually going well. I love my graduate program and am making some friends....my car is finally fixed (danny totalled it after 5 days of having it....and I was without it then for 6 weeks) and looks just as new as it did when i bought it brand new....so I am very happy about that....

....danny and i got engaged for christmas, so that is wonderful. I am really excited about the future...but promise not to be a bridezilla like my mom is predicting I will be....

I am home now for the holidays. It is good to be back, but it makes me realize how much I love having my new life....its not like I love las vegas or plan to live there longer than I have to, but I like where I am in life....I really can't complain...school is good...the puppies are good...the job is good....danny and I are good.....so life is good.

I got some great gifts for christmas such as:
-the hello kitty ipod dock stereo
-tons of chanel perfum
-tons and tons of makeup (smashbox, lancome, clinique, etc)
-hello kitty humidifier (which I really wanted)
-wedding planner (kinda scary, but a great gift)
-a diamond...of course, the mother of all gifts


I hope everyone got what they asked santa for!




I plan on going to the new years party at the mansion with (e:lilho)... hope to see you all there! We might dress up very pretty!

ok so i hate to bitch....
but it really makes me sad when I see really overweight people. I mean, REALLY overweight people. I know that some people suffer from genetic problems....but I know that the majority of Americans, including myself (and no, i am not saying i am FAT) are overweight. It is ridiculous to see people who are 300 lbs overweight though. I mean, when do you get to the point where you think to yourself, "i just don't give a fuck about my health anymore"? What is it about our culture that allows us to think that being fat is ok? I mean, there are millions of people that die everyday due to complications with being obese. On top of the people who die everyday, there are millions who are diagnosed with unhealthy diet and lifestyle related diseases. Honestly, I am worried about the direction that most people choose to live their lives. Just recently have become aware of the shit I eat. The last 3 weeks I have made an honest attempt to look at the way I eat, and change itI t. I don't want to be fat, and I worry about my future because the way that I eat. I think that when I get my career going, I really want to promote a healthy lifestyle that reduces fat and increases awareness to diet choices that people make.

This is all brought on by the fact that today I was in the mall, and in the matter of my 20 minutes there, i saw well over 50 people that weren't just overweight, but obese. This, the rate of people who are obese, is unacceptable, and extremely sad.

and I am not saying that we should all go starve ourselves to become skinny mini's....but I am saying that we should not be blind to the choices we make. There a huge difference between being health conscious, and being sickly thin.

That's all i have to say at the moment. thanks.

yea, i get your point....but i am saying, it isn't a matter of whether people like themselves fat, it is a matter of health. honestly, if being fat was healthy, or didn't have an effect on the body to the point of being a serious health condition, i wouldn't be so sad about it....but it's a matter of people dying because they choose to be unhealthy.

One thing no need to understand is that they don't go from skinny to fat. Some of these people have always been big to begin with. the process of getting bigger is slow so you don't notice it day by day it is only when the clothes don't fit. Once you get to a certain size you know you are fat and you accept it. There are many factors to size. The Biggest one is eating habits second is exercise. When you are that big you can't exercise really even if you wanted to. That makes your metoblism Lower plus then they just sit around and eat. Is it sad? It deepends on the person some people are big and like it that way and don't care what others think and they are fine with there life. But somepeople do try to lose the wieght and just can't or feel to down on them selves and don't try. Humans are creatures of Habit and we generall do the same things over an over unless something shakes us up and then we decide to change.

here, here sister. I joined the fight against obestiy over a year ago losing over 50 lbs in six months. now I monitor everything that goes in.

Dallas beats Buffalo hands-down in size. But: the people in the Bay Area are much less overweight than in Dallas or Buffalo.

I was in Dallas and took a cab to/from the airport. Both times the cab was a minivan. So, on the way back, I asked the cabbie: why are the cabs minivans?
He replied: have you seen the size of the people here??
