I'm Just Sayin'

Ian Somerhalder is not only the hottest vampire on network television, he is a great guy. He started a foundation a while back and is dedicating his life to helping the planet. He is young, good looking, staring on a hit show and could easily be a right dickhead, but instead, he is doing his part to make the world a better place; and that makes me a huge fan of his. http://www.isfoundation.com/news/influence-affair is the link to his foundation. I highly suggest you get involved in one way or another. I have donated and am hoping to do some writing for them later this year. Check him and Uggie, out from the Genesis Awards. http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/2012/03/ian-somerhalder-and-uggie-true-love-at-the-genesis-awards.html I had to give him a shout out today because I am constantly impressed by his heart and moved every single time I read about him. Good job Ian-I wish more people could be like you.

Tonight, at night, in the dark, some guys were banging down the doors in my complex. They were nice enough, but still I didn't let them in. It's weird at night to be selling anything. They stood around in the hallways waiting for someone-it was suspicious. I called the rent a cop the community has on staff-I am sure he was at his usual sleep post-ugh, so I called the regular cops. That's right. LAPD. Now I watch Southland and the Closer, so I have a decent amount of respect for these folks, but come on, they have reached new lazy. I told them some suspicious guys were banging on apartment doors and could they come check it out. They asked me if I was shot. WTF? Seriously? UGH, I said no just that they were making me uncomfortable since it was night and they wouldn't leave. They told me that they could do nothing until my apartment was broken into or I was shot and then they warned me not to take any action into my own hands unless I was fired upon first. Swear to the ba...

Okay so I wake up every day thanking God, or the powers that be that I am NOT president. I mean, who on earth would want that job? No matter what you do, people hate you. And nothing is ever good enough and you are always trying to fix what some other jackass did before you. Personally I think Bush was smart, yes he was, he has an over average I.Q. but he was NOT ready for the job at hand. Life was good when he got elected and as far as America knew all we had to worry about was Bill's extra activities. Little did Bush or anyone know that someone in the middle east was carrying a grudge from Bush senior years before little Bush got into office. Huge mistake! So now you have a man who really hasn't done much in his life in the White House-good God-and then we get attacked and little Bush gets played like a rag doll by the people he hired to help him. He really wasn't ready and now we have Obama who is doing his best but the mess that he was left is beyond ginormous. The left...

My father is dying. I am really sad, but also it will be the end to his suffering. Almost 6 years ago he suffered a massive heart attack and brain damage, but being the strong man I remember him as he survived. He now lives in a nursing home in New England because he needs constant 24/7 care. Today they called me and told me that my 220 lb strong father now weighs less than I do and he can't stand on his own. He can no longer swallow. He needs help going to the bathroom and the end is very near. His body has been slowly letting go for years as his mind has been the mind of a child-sometimes there and sometimes not. Dementia is what it is called, and every time I have spoken with him has been hard. There have been days when he didn't know who I was and days when he did, or a couple years ago I called him on my birthday and he said, "It's your birthday, no shit my daughter Stephie is turning 8 today." Sometimes I can't understand him at all. I am tortured by th...

I have nothing against any religion and respect others in their beliefs, whatever, it's their thing and if it makes them happy and they aren't hurting anyone then okay. BUT, for me it is ALWAYS so called Christians that have done the worst things. Recently my dog died and only my CHRISTIAN friends (so-called friends) have treated me terribly because of it. My Catholic, Buddhist, Mormons, Hindu, Atheists, spiritual but not religious, and Scientologist friends have been wonderful, supportive, caring and just awesome. But those "Christians" well let the judgement begin and I have been judged, deleted, defriended (real life and FB) and beat down because I was and still am sad at losing my doggie. Two people cut me off because I wasn't happy he died and a couple others said that because I didn't believe in heaven the way they did, they were gone. Today a Christian friend sent me an email basically ending our friendship because I didn't work around her schedule ...

Things I don't always understand: Part One Loud and obnoxious people who live in apartments! Why do people stand outside their apartment on the balcony yelling at the top of their lungs? Do they think that the rest of us, who live in their complex, can't hear them? Do they thing that since they are outside they aren't making noise? People who get 60+ inch television sets and insist on using surround sound in an apartment. People who stand outside of apartments and yell to each other. I mean, honestly, do you not think that everyone can hear you? I don't and never will understand this kind of behavior, but it's like these people just have no consideration for anyone and I am lucky enough to live by tons of them!

No this isn't a new dance craze-wow-I bet most you don't even know what a shuffle is-I'm so old. Okay, not really, well yes really in a way, but I am still living like in college. You know what I mean? If you are a writer, artist, actress, anything creative, you know. I am perpetually skint-and you know, it's a challenge and I enjoy finding creative ways to stretch my money. One way is the credit card shuffle. You pay your minimuns, then you pay you other bills with your credit cards that you just paid, so really it's like you are only paying one bill. I know this isn't responsible, but whatever Suze Orman, I don't have money coming out my arse, and sometimes I have to do what I have to do and this buys me time. Try it, if you are squeezed for cash and trust me, it will help. Another thing you can do is use one card to pay another and or balance transfer them. You still have the same debt, but it feels better and somehow it helps your credit. If you are read...
