Political Joke: $50

Disclaimer: The "I" in this story isn't really me :) Although, I wish I were this clever!


I recently asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up.
She said she wanted to be President some day.

Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?"

She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people."

Her parents beamed.

"Wow! What a worthy goal," I told her, "but you don't have to wait until you're President to do that. In the meantime, you can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50.00. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out. You can give him the $50.00 to use toward food and a new house."

She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50.00?"

I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

Her parents still aren't speaking to me.

Happy Birthday to Me!

I had no idea my coworkers thought I was this much of a princess... Their comments are pretty funny!!

My very first published essay!!!

My essay "Thanks for the Lesbians. Where are the Dykes?" will be published in the 2010 edition of Writing the University!

It's Official!!!

The verdict is finally in! I am a college graduate! Yay me!

Wristband for iPhone??

My dearly beloved was so excited to get iBowl on his iPhone.





I laughed as I lightheartedly poked fun at the Wii lawsuits while suggesting iPhone should have a "safety strap."








No more than 2 minutes later, dearly beloved THREW his iPhone across the room and SLAMMED into the wall! Luckily, it didn't turn out like this:

Planning Ahead

Did I have the best NYE of my life? Yes, indeed. Did I still miss Kaskade? Yes, indeed. Lucky for me, The Park UltraLounge is bringing him back in three short months. Oh, Kaskade, how I miss thee. Although I'm ashamed to admit, I have not seen Kaskade since etd.POP last May. I promise to know every song from Strobelite Seduction by April 16. I also promise to sing and dance to heart out on the eve of April 16. By the way: No, I do not work for The Park. No, I do not work for Om Records. It's just that I heart Kaskade. Thanks, Park, for bringing him back before they make me go to therapy.

See you soon! <3

Mission: Accomplished

So, I actually did it. I passed all of my classes. I am pretty darn proud of how well I did, too -- considering I was working full-time and taking 21 units!! It's official - I'm a college graduate. I'm going to treat myself with something really fantastic when I get my tuition reimbursement from work. Any ideas??
