I want to make a movie

I want to make a movie about a famous person going public. We would put the person on the NYSE and you could own shares of this person. It would be a spinoff/spoof looking at just how much money famous people really have---some more than actual companies.

Let's look shall we:
For example, the "great" company I work for made approx $36 million in 2005 or so they say. It has about 150 people working to make that kind of money. Now take a peek at J. Lo, Madonna, or Tom Cruise. These people made twice as that last year alone and while they have people working with them, in essence they are only one person. They make 15 million a movie. One movie. One person acting. You see what I am saying?

I was watching Vh1's the Fabulous Life of.... last night. Famous people spend tons of money I mean tons of money. I need that kind of cash.

thank you

Makes me a little sick, quite frankly.....

Flight 93 the movie? Already? The movie about what could possibly be the world's largest Urban Legend EVER?

Commercialize tragedy for cash?
I am just getting over the ordeal.
I won't go over there.
It's all too soon.
When the media got to see the premiere THEY cried!!! The media!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

What's the point of making this movie so soon? I think the world has gotten enough about the heros from Beamer's wife on Oprah 300 times.

Who made up: let's roll?
Who is this movie for?

Can I convince you to boycott it?
Should we all go see it to be fair?

The whole thing makes me ill quite frankly.
Fear?
Selfishness?
Sadness?
Anger?


Who the hell knows. I don't know if I should go see this then rip it up bc if I go see it I am financially contributing to the garb.......I am in such a rough spot right now.

I feel it.


WHY DID THEY MAKE THIS MOVIE?!?!?!?!?!?!
We waited 85 years to see Leo sink the Titanic. There are reasons for this PEOPLE!!!!!

If you think about it, fingernails are really gross

My family has horses and a few weeks back I watched the trainer change my horse, Harry's shoes. Like our own fingernails, horses and a similar cartilage on their feet, much thicker of course, but all the same. The shoes are actually nailed into their nails and it doesn't really hurt them. I think nails are really a gross material. Here we have this very much dead component growing. As a active nail biter, I eat my nails. I am trying to break this habit, but its rough. Hence the gross part. Harry doesn't bite his nails, he eats wood though.

A Post About Moi~I Rock

Ode to Myself......

I rock bc I am loud and make my friends laugh
I rock bc no matter how much garbage is thrown my way I am still in the game
I rock bc I have big boobs and a tush to match
I rock bc my puppy thinks I am his Messiah and cheese his nectar of the gods
I rock bc when I go to sleep at night I put the mess that life throws at me, to bed
I rock bc I can drink a bottle of red wine and still talk somewhat intelligently
I rock bc I make a mean quiche
I rock bc I am someone's best friend, someone else's party pal, someone's shoulder to cry on, and someone's escape from reality
I rock bc I will soon be someone's wife, a what a kick in the pants that is!
I rock bc I can eat a big steak just like the rest of em

Sometimes we all need to be a little conceited...
One thing is for sure though, my feet STINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Keaster Easter!!!!!

Thanks Easter Bunny

Remember that M&M commerical we watched as kids? Every snot nose kid screamed and wailed into the camera 'Thank you Easter Bunny!' as they shoved m&m's down their throats. I remember when Easter was a simpler time. When candy and baskets and getting new shoes and a dress meant summer was just around the corner. When hope for what Spring brought to us was infinite. Finding eggs with my cousins on Gramma's lawn are memories frozen in time, people.

To me, Easter doesn't feel the same nowadays. Easter is now about baked ham and apple sauce. It's about my dear mother complaining about cooking for 30 people she quite frankly, dislikes. It's about me wondering why I just couldn't go to Miami on this fine weekend. Easter lost its clout that made it competitive to XMas. Maybe it's Global warming that changed our minds on Easter. Maybe no one cares.

I still love the smell of new shoes though. Maybe that's Easter.

Rant of the Week


Now, I love Oscar, my pug. He has definietly crawled up my ass and found a special place in my heart. I buy clothes for Osc, take tons of photos of him. I do buy him special treats and take him with me almost everywhere I go. But that's where the relationship between most normal people and their pets end. Until I found this:

www.dogster.com

A few comments:
  • Like Friendster, Dogster is a place where dogs go online to meet other dogs. Their fellow dog/friend's information and webpages are displayed in area called the Corral. Each dog member has an entire page dedicated to them that expresses their likes, dislikes, "pet" peeves. Dogs can come here to blog about the Intricacies and Details of their life.
  • Um.....What the HELL is wrong with you people?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!? Has communication between humans gotten so bad that they need to use and sabbotage their dogs for friendship?
  • Dogs eat their asses, your underwear and anything else they can find. While they recognize certain call words like cheese, sit and no, they do not know how to use a computer. My dog once peed on my computer if that counts. On occassion he will lick or sit on my computer. They are DOGS.
  • While I appreciate showcasing your canine friend, dogster isn't really doing that. It's really weird and scary that people have this much time on their hands. I am quite angry about the entire ordeal.

Mas y Fem

A teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

"House"for instance,is feminine:"la casa.""
Pencil,"however,is masculine: "el lapiz."

A student asked,"What gender is 'computer'?"
Instead of giving the answer!the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether"computer"should be a masculine or a feminine noun.

Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation. The men's group decided that"computer"should definitely be of the feminine gender("la computadora"),because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval;

and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.


The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine("el computador"), because:

1. In order to do anything with them,you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data, but still can't think for themselves;

3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem;
and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.


The women won.

Retract: Deal or No Deal

Fine, I am officially a fan. I love this show, I love the mind games, I love how stupid rednecks shout and hoot like Arsenio Hall. I love the fact they they don't want to Deal up $50K when they clearly have 5 cents in the briefcase. I urge you to watch this show.
It's truly fabulous

This Family is Falling Apart!!!!!!

Family
The Sopranos kill me. I hesitate my Sunday night fix bc I know at 10pm EDT, I am filled with anxiety, rage and bewilderment. Tony, get off your ass and do something, the family is falling to pieces. And next week, is Meadow getting married???????


Jimmy Joe
In other aspects of my life, my great, wonderful, amazing fiance and I celebrated an entire weekend in honor of him. We toasted our glasses at several watering holes to celebrate his promotion and his 29th year on the planet. The simple fact that I am marrying someone who is 29, is crazy, but I am happy to add that I am also marrying a Vice President, and that makes me so proud.
I think I will buy (another) pair of new shoes in honor of his acheivements!!!!!!!!!

Restaurant Review
We hit many cool, interesting places this weekend. Here is a short review of them:

Gilt
NY Palace Hotel
I was sad to learn that my longtime secret bar/hideaway and the place I got engaged has now closed and been replaced with a horrible uber--corporate bar that has the balls to charge 30 bucks a drink. It does not go with the look and feel of my favorite hotel and all and all it sucks. Please so not go there.

Craft
19th Street
For Jim's bday we had dinner at Craft. It was really nice and we both felt really special. I loved the oysters and champagne. The desserts were really special too. This used to be a really top notch place, and while both the service and food were grand, the customers were something to be desired. I hate when people do not dress up for a dressed up place. I was saddened to see ripped jeans and tee shirts. I also didn't appreciate the table of four in front of us and their overusage of cologne and Duane Reade perfume.

WINE
There was lots of wine. Who cares what kind, it was present and that's all a gurl like me could ever want. I want more wine right now.
Tis all
