Check Out My Site

I put my site together and have a bloggy blog blog on it as well. I may end up deciding to take the time to post my entries there and on blogger for awhile but we'll see. Let me know what you think of the site. See you there.

Hey, I'm just sayin......

Before Pregnancy Tests

I wonder if was just the poor mans way to test but:

In the 40's & 50's African clawed frogs were used to detect whether a woman was preggers or not. How? Urine from a woman would be injected into the frog and if the frog produced eggs that would indicate the woman was preggers! How would anyone even think to test that in the 1st place? Whoa.

"I can't tell ya if it's a boy or a girl but congratulations! =)"

Oooooo gosh

Hmmm, so what's been going on. I've been working a lot. I haven't actually been spending more time in the office....I've just been doing more work while here. My favorite coworker got pissed off one day and decided she was going to take some time off due to "stress". Whatever. Good for her but now I get to do all the work! =D Yay for me! It's good though, I'm learning new stuff...stuff I can put on my resume and take to a new job! Woot woot! Things at work have remained the same....we're constantly hiring to replace all the people that quit. Apparently they've started firing people too. I guess it's a good thing no one even knows what I do here. How can they get rid of me if they have no clue what I do? The only thing I do that they probably don't like is come in at 11 sometimes...because I need my rest ;)

Home life is always sorta nutzo. I live with four people and four dogs but we've had two extra people staying with us so all it takes is for someone to mention a bottle of wine and next thing you know we are all super buzzed and hailing a taxi to take us to Hotel Cafe or Ketchup. I really enjoy living with all these people though. My roommate Michele is really awesome and takes care of me incredibly well. I’d never eat at home if it wasn’t for her. I hope I do something good for her too.

I am starting school again in the fall so am going to be busy again but I suppose that’s a good thing. Martha would say so anyway. And besides, idle hands do the devils work. (Actually, if idle hands do the devils work, then what are the busy hands doing? That’s a lil scary huh?)

Today and I am headed to SD Pride with Brandon and Rusty and whatever hooligans Brandon is trailing along this week. I get to see some of my friends from high school – one is my ex from senior year. I’ve been to San Diego two or three times since I got caught up in the whirlwind that is Brandon Baker and moved my life to Los Angeles (a move I would not change for the world). I'm exciting about just getting out of LA for a weekend too. I really need to start traveling more...ya know, keep life interesting. =) We'll see.

Have a fun and safe weekend.

Ew - You think these are cute or not cute?

Holy Moly!

DALLAS - An HIV-positive man convicted of spitting into the eye and mouth of a Dallas police officer has been sentenced to 35 years in prison.

Because a jury found that Willie Campbell used his saliva as a deadly weapon, the 42-year-old will have to serve half his sentence before becoming eligible for parole. He was sentenced Wednesday.

Campbell was being arrested in May 2006 for public intoxication when he began resisting and kicking inside the patrol car, Dallas police office Dan Waller testified.

Campbell was convicted of harassment of a public servant.

To my dear friend

I am so sorry for your loss. You specifically asked that people not call you to console you and I will respect your wishes. I will simply put out this wave length of hope that you endure and not only survive but emerge stronger than you were previously. I can only imagine the pain of your loss since I have not felt it myself.I realize it will be a challenge but please remember that it will do you better to keep a smile on and to keep on truckin'. It is good to see your smiling face again. Stay strong and rely on those who have made themselves available to you May be peace be with you and those that have crossed your path.

Chase Evans - What are you doing with your life?

I am just wondering if anyone has pointed out to you how much of a disaster you are right now. You certainly do not look well or even happy. Granted we all have our times when we can be a bit messy but you appear to be downright unkempt and possibly even homeless. It would behoove you to get your act together before you get a point of desperation that tempts you into ignoring your common sense or lowering your standards of safety - which could have serious repercussions on the rest of your life. I'm not even going to attempt to claim that "safety" is practiced 100% of the time in my own life but this hardly equates to being on the receiving end of a series of $50.00 pump and dumps behind Mickeys...not that you're there yet.
If you need help getting back home and on your feet it is better to ask for it than bum around consistently boozed up waiting for something to happen.
At the same time really I am just curious about how you think you're going to make it - what your plan is. I mean it must be an exciting challenge trying to start over on the opposite side of the country from home with no money and a swiftly decreasing set of friends who one by one grow tired of being taken advantage of.
It will be difficult for you, I am sure, to interpert this letter as one that does not mean to insult but only open your eyes. That is okay though. Sometimes the truth hurts.

So finally I am settled in.

I had to order my computer in a particular way in order to get the deal and arrangement I wanted. This special way required me to mail my payment to the Apple payment center. I went to the post office and paid $16.00 nearly four weeks ago so that I could overnight my order and have it delivered by the next week. Needless to say that did not happen. It was an extremely frustrating few weeks because I kept stressing about having to stop payment and resend my order. Fortunately I procrastinated long enough that my payment was finally processed. It was crazy because the same day I called to inquire about stopping payment I received the shipment notification. Yay for procrastination!



I went to Ikea this weekend with my roommate and spent a few hours walking through the showrooms and developing shame over the fact that my room was no where near as fierce as their showcases. O sadness. I bought a desk and a chair and a cute lil lamp that sort of reminds me of the one on The Brave Little Toaster. I got home and spent the next 10 hours putting everything I bought together and taking old stuff apart and rearranging my room. It's awesome now! This is also the first time in a couple of years that i have set up an actual desk to work at. This should make my homework a whole lot more comfortable to suffer through. I was on spring break last week so I got my computer just in time to start back this week.

One of my first projects on this new machine is to set up all of my escorting photos and hopefully build a site. Mac has great programs that automate most processes so it shouldn't be that difficult. Dare I say that I've actually missed escorting. i feel like I've become almost too much of an adult in recent months. I worked nearly 50 hours each week for the past two weeks and will probably come close to that in the coming weeks, in addition to school. Attempting to get promoted can be a real bitch. Escorting for me has nearly developed into a necessary source of excitement and distraction. It seems far more productive than wasting an excessive amount of time trolling through the pages of MySpace or Manhunt and the people i've encountered through escorting have often been more interesting than those I've met on manhunt. I guess I am setting a goal to be a better hooker. ; ) Everyone needs to have goals right?

Not much has changed at my office job. The tally of people in my 20 person department that have quit since I started is now at 17. That's nearly everyone! The good news is that after my last immediate manager left I was offered a promotion in a dual manager set-up with my best friend at work. it'll be sweet if it works out. I guess we need to wait another 45 days to prove that we can do the work, which shouldn't be a problem since we've both been doing the required work and then some for some months now. If the promotion doesn't happen then I have another job already lined up. My boss that left is now Executive Director of Finance at a major Hollywood studio and has the power to hire who he wants. The gays stick together =P.

School could be going better. If there is one thing that I have always been good at, it is procrastinating. It is just so easy to get distracted from school work and go out with friends or just bum around the house with my roommate.I'm going to really need to work on that. If I stay on the course I mapped out then I should graduate by 2012! If I keep procrastinating then who knows when I'll graduate. Sometimes I think employers don't rally care what you got a degree in. They just want to know that you can dedicate yourself to something and stick to it long enough to reach a goal. It's going to take a long time but I'll get there one day. It's a little ridiculous though. Why can't we just buy a degree online yet/. My cousin became a minister by filling out a couple of things online and printing a from. I think we have some catching up to do in our online markets =P.

I'm off to bed now. I have to be up in four hours for work. i also see the personal trainer today and go to school tonight. Gosh golly gee! I should have gone to bed hours ago!

-Goodnight xo

I'm getting a new computer

that means I'll be able to start blogging a whole bunch! Woot woot!
