Ps, I was Katy Perry.

When it rains it pours, but I see a spot of sunshine...I got a job at Jazz-n-Java.


I start Fri at 9am. Hopefully it gets my mind off of my messy life right now.
Back in a coffee shop, I love working at coffee shops. <3

All About It.


I am 100% an Angels fan. And rooting for a Freeway World Series!!

hello old friend...

Originally I took an impromptu blogging sabbatical because I had come down with bronchitis and that "I couldn't ever get any sicker than this". And then I got sicker. What we had originally thought to be after shocks of bronchitis or walking pneumonia, turned out to be a respiratory infection AND a middle ear infection!! Honestly, I swear the antibiotics, (that the Urgent Care doctors gave me) are trying to kill me! :( So now I am literally on death's doorstep and hoping for death or a miracle cure while I sleep away this amazing Autumn weather in SoCal. Be back soon loves. <3

Stop It

I am very excited to get married. Matt is my dream guy. But I am over everyone saying "You won't be able to do that when you're married" and "You probably won't be able to go there". Just stop, we will make it work and be happy. Quit being frustrating. And quit being lame. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. Right?? You're supposed to encourage me, and help me be happy, not make me feel bad.

Ps...I don't know the significance in the red "r", but just disregard it anyways. =)

Forgiveness Is More Than Saying Sorrrryyyyy-Anna Farris

Please forgive me for never explaining that random photo blog down there. \/
I will explain each photo right...now!

Zooey Daschanel-I like her bangs. Therefore I got my bangs cut just like hers!

Sunshine Cleaning-Matt and I watched that movie last week. I liked it. It was very different, but I like Amy Adams in everything she touches. Emily Blunt was hillarious. And their adventures were funny as well.

Relator-Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson's single. Let me just say: the song and it's music video are amazing! Check it out.

OBEY-Shepard Fairey, owner of OBEY and creator of the OBAMA "HOPE" screenprint. So, I don't support his political views all of the time, he is still badass and I had the pleasure of meeting him last weekend and I even got a picture with him!

Maniac-Shawn Harris' new musical journey. After the dissolve of The Matches he moved on to this lil up and coming duo. Jake Gibb is the second-half. I will always love my buddy Shawn, and the rest of the band....although I know Shawn and Jon a little more personally than the other two (Matt and Dylan).

2 Frolicing White Puppies-Enough said.

New Moon Poster ft. Dakota Fanning-Enough said....okok, stoked!!!

Dog with the Donald Trump Hairstyle-So ridiculously funny to me. And cute. And the dog looks ticked that he is being refered to as Mr. Trump.

Vera Wang PJ's-Imagine sleeping in those...I don't have to bc I own two of them! They are heavenly. And it's the closest thing to Vera Wang heaven I will ever get!

Dr. Bronner's-Best soap ever. Fair-trade. Animal cruelty free. And I started using it as a face wash a couple months ago, and it's just as good as my Clinique 2 step! (Not 3 step, bc I still use their face lotion afterwards).

Adventureland-Matt and I watched that movie last week as well. Again, I liked it. Nice lil coming of age story that you don't have to think too much about.

Malamut-Dakota was attacked by 2 big dogs (my gma said it was a Malamut)the night I went to the Shepard Fairey art show/SeaNoEvil/Save the Whales thing. He was sitting on the porch with his leash on with my grandma. Kingston was out there too on his leash but he stayed out of harms way. Dakota is so passive he probably would have been killed. Thankfully my 92 yr old grandmother had enough strength to kick the dogs off of him. He had 2 puncture wounds on his neck, and a 5" laceration behind one ear. He had to be shaved and stitched up, they also put drains in his puncture wounds. He was on an anti-biotic and Morphine for 7 days. Poor puppy. I have nicknamed him "lampy", bc he has to wear a "cone of shame", cone around his head so that his stitches stay safe from his claws. =(

Zooey Daschanel Vintage Shot- I just love this photo of her, and I want her bathing suit!

Tying the Knot


Someone please locate this spot for me, and there I shall be wed. <3

Thursday, September 3, 2009

Ok, I think I have like 2 mins...maybe.

I just took all of my meds and my cough syrup with codine (bronchitis, I know right? I never get sick, my mom puts me on a multi-vitamin and BAM! sick to the third power...bronchitis, I don't think I have ever had bronchitis in my life), anyways, I will be cruising asap. So I am going to leave you with a few pictures to meditate on until I can explain them tomorrow.
PS, please excuse my typos and ramblings.

Alternative names include Rioja libre (from "Rioja", and "Cuba Libre"), kali, motxo. In Chile the drink is known as jote (Chilean Spanish for the Black Vulture), and in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, the Republic of Macedonia, Croatia and other former Yugoslav republics of it is known as bambus (meaning bamboo) and musolini (as in Mussolini). In the Czech Republic it is known as houba, and in Hungary as Vadász (meaning hunter) or vörösboros kóla or shortly VBK. In Mozambique and South Africa it is known as Catemba.

1 (750 ml) bottle red wine
Preparation method
In a carafe or pitcher with a lid, combine the cola and red wine. Put the lid on and gently rock the container to mix. Let rest for a few minutes before serving in glasses over ice. (My note: served bone cold and w/o ice is much better).

Jarra, copa grande o vaso largo.

Ingredientes:

Un golpe de licor de mora







I think I want some this evening. <3

The Hush Sound

My latest obsession is sleep. I am always ready to try to turn off my mind and sleep. Now if you know me, you know I have a severe case of insomnia. I hate having to take medicine to go to sleep, shouldn't sleep come easily to every human being? I think that would be nice. <3
The Hush Sound has a song called, "You Are The Moon". It is from their "Like Vines" record, and it has been my lullaby as of late. I love it.

Shadows all around you as you surface from the dark
Emerging from the gentle grip of night's unfolding arms
Darkness, darkness everywhere, do you feel all alone?
The subtle grace of gravity, the heavy weight of stone
You don't see what you possess, a beauty calm and slear
It floods the sky and blurs the darkness like a chandelier
All the light that you possess is skewed by lakes and seas
The shattered surface, so imperfect, is all that you believe
I will bring a mirror, so silver, so exact
So precise and so pristine, a perfect pane of glass
I will set the mirror up to face the blackened sky
So you can see your beauty every morning that you rise
Now I just need help acquiring this bed/sleep space:

100 Posts for iblogalott.blogspot.com!

Now I wish I could say I have some special post planned like everyone else on this site, but I do not. I just have my random musings as always. A song for ya, a story or two, a calendar glipse, and maybe a picture?
Ok, first I would like to ask "What happened to KROQ Radio on iTunes Radio"? I can't find it, but I did find "Hookah Radio", and go figure they are playing Sublime and Slightly Stoopid. I retreated back to my own iTunes library to hear this little gem I have fallen in love with:

Lets Go Crazy
Lyrics:
Let's Go Crazy lyrics

(Songwriters and orignial performers: Nelson, Prince Rogers)
"Let's Go Crazy"

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
2 get through this thing called life

Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here 2 tell you
There's something else
The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness
U can always see the sun, day or night

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
U know the one - Dr Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby

'Cuz in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
You're on your own

And if de-elevator tries 2 bring you down
Go crazy - punch a higher floor

If you don't like the world you're living in
Take a look around you
At least you got friends

U see I called my old lady
4 a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
(Sex, sex) is all I heard

Are we gonna let de-elevator
Bring us down
Oh, no Let's Go!

Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look 4 the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!

We're all excited
But we don't know why
Maybe it's cuz
We're all gonna die

And when we do (When we do)
What's it all 4 (What's it all 4)
U better live now
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door

Tell me, are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!

Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Look 4 the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!

C'mon baby
Let's get nuts
Yeah
Crazy

Let's go crazy

Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Go crazy

I said let's go crazy (Go crazy)
Let's go, let's go
Go
Let's go

Dr. Everything'll be alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and dafodills will kill
Hang tough children

He's coming
He's coming
Coming

Take me away!




Now I must say, I like these lyrics a lot! I am not a Prince fan, therefore I heard this song for the first time by Incubus, but I really think that there are some lines to live by up there!


On Monday, Matt and I are going to see Funny People, I hear mixed reviews about it. I will let ya know how I feel about it Monday night.

Tuesday, Matt is taking me to Venice Beach and then dinner on the Santa Monica Pier! I am so stoked! Should be awesome fun.

Wednesday Cynthia is driving Brittnizz, and myself out to Hollywood (The Mint more specifically) for the 100 Monkeys show. The lead singer is Jackson Rathbone, who is Jasper Hale (newly vegged-vampire) in the Twilight movies. I am super excited for some fun! And Brittnizz is super excited to see her love in person! lol



Ps, do you know what is awesome about 9pm on Saturdays??? PostSecrets blog gets updated with the following Sunday's Secrets! I absolutely love PostSecret and I just know you guys would too. A lot of the time it's just lets you know you're not alone in how you feel or act. Bonus, they are TWLOHA supporters!



and



Here is a pic with some happy lil ducks walking around Disneyland last week. I didn't get that great of a picture...but it's better than nothing!
They were all walking to there "sleeping quarters", which is the Storybook Ride's miniature houses and lawns. Whenever you go on the ride and the ducks are there sleeping the guide will most likey call them the "giant man-eating ducks!" bc it is ridiculous to try to pretend they are not there...sleeping on Tinkerbell's house. haha



Pps, Happy 100th Post to Me!
I will be prepared with a cake and balloons next time! ;D

Ppps, why aren't my links under my Post Secret section showing up? Hrmm :/

sing me to sleep with this song: the tide

And there's three, count 'em three
Children playing on the beach
They were eager to learn,
To be taught and to teach

There's Veronica
She's biting her lip
As she watches the waves turn white at the tip
And there's Vada
Radiating with joy
And luckily she still can't stand the sight of a boy
And lastly there's Dade
His hair dances in the wind
And he's wondering what love is
And why it has to end

And he can't understand
How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends
His mother whispers quietly...
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love is just a hoax so forget anything that you have heard
And live for the moment now

And there's three, count 'em three
Children growing on the beach
They were eager to learn,
To be taught and to teach

There's Veronica
She's licking her lips
As she waits for her real, first passionate kiss
And there's Vada
Can't admit her jealousy
Of her sister Veronica, and how she's so pretty (and how she's so pretty)
Lastly there's Dade
Still sitting on the dock
Ponders his life, and he skips his rocks
And he wonders when his father will return
But he's not coming back

And he can't understand
How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends
His mother whispers quietly...
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love is just a hoax so forget everything that you have heard (forget everything)

And there's three, count 'em three
Children missing from the beach
They were eager to learn,
To be taught and to teach

But the sad thing
Is that they never lived passed the age of fifteen
Due to neglect from their mother
Who was bed ridden by her ex-lover, their father
She didn't even notice, or pay much attention
As the tide came in and swept her three into the ocean
Now all her advice, it seems useless

No, heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when you touch her and you feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love's completely real, so forget anything that you've heard
And live for the moment now

People C'mon-Delta Spirit

Note: this picture only represents how I feel when listening to this song. The band Delta Spirit is a folky bearded/mohawked quartet(note: scratch quartet...there's 5 of them. haha).


People Come On - Delta Spirit
I'm a wandering soul
I got no place of my own
Well I got nothing to give
Well I got nothing to show for it
And I'll be wondering all, for all my years
What I become no one could know

If you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon
All you soul searching people c'mon

And I got something to say my friends
I will never lay down without a fight
And when I die it will be the day
When every one of my wrongs will be made right
Only times gonna heal my pain
Lord knows the mistakes I will make
Yeah there'll be peace on my soul someday
Reconside I'll be on my way

And I'll be wondering all, for all my years
What I become no one can say

If you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon
All you soul searching people c'mon
Oh no, if you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon
All you soul searching people c'mon

And I'll be wondering all, for all these years
What I become no one could know
If you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon
All you soul searching people c'mon
