1st OSU game of the season...

This is my absolute 100% favorite time of the year... the air is full of hope and dreams, dreams of a national championship and hopes of beating Michigan. The bars are full of freshmen and beer. My head is full of bad decisions, many of which I will talk myself into and out of before the season is over.

For the first game, mother nature and the elements are on our side. The sun is always out and there is no need for jackets. Everyone is a good mood and the street meat is all around. People that detest each other in real life get along on game day. That's right friends, put those differences aside and cheer on the home team!

I'm excited for all that, no doubt about it but I am also excited because now not only am I checking out the talent on the field, but off the field as well. I'm ready to tackle my own tight end... operation "GLBO" is in full swing. There are so many new and challenging options for this fall. I can barely contain my excitement!

If I see you tomorrow, please except this apology in advance. And as always, GO BUCKS!!!

Ohhh the New Year

I love the start of the New Year. I really do. Even though I still tend to think of the year as an elementary child, you know starting in September and ending in June. And the rest of the time is when I should be on vacation. As my dad likes to say, "It's hell to get old."

My NYE was a tad different this year, for starters, I wasn't with a certain Asian. And for seconders, I wasn't in Chicago. And for thirders, I didn't make a fool outta myself. (See, starting the new year off acting like a mature, classy, lady who is full of grace.)

I have a good feeling about 2009 and being 28 this year. Dang. 28. I gotta let that one sink in for a sec...





Ok, that's a little better. Ok, so for my new year's resolutions... shall we begin?
* Improve posture (currently doing that as we speak!)
* Blog more (yeah, yeah, Jan. was a bust but in my defense, it twas my birthday month.)
* Send more birthday cards. On time.
* Call my grandparents more.
* Complain less.
* Listen to more classical music.
* Take more walks.
* Do more with my lil Sis.


I usually like to have 7 so I think I'll stop with 8. I didn't put my usual "work out more" and "smoke/ drink less" because I'm actually doing those things right now. Shocking, I know. Sometimes, I don't even recognize myself. Or maybe it's just been a looooong time since I've felt so much like my old self. I feel like I'm having an Oprah "a-HA" moment.

The Work Holiday Party

Last Friday was my office Christmas party... let me give you a little insight into the company that I work for. It is a cross between Hooters (delightfully tacky) and Dunder Mifflin. Seriously. We have one of those GIANT blow-up Santa's, who is holding a gift that spins, in the entryway to our office. Classy, I know. Our party was held, ta da, at the office! Because you know, after I've worked 8 hours there, going back after being off for an hour and a half, that sounds like the BEST idea. EVER. We also had to bring a dish and prepare an entertainment. Don't ask. So our sick President, we'll call her "White Tiger", who wasn't at work all week, decided she was going to make lamb chops for every one's dining pleasure. Sick woman (who is using "old country tricks" like hot water and mustard on her feet to get better) + meat = second best idea. EVER. We were also getting something called Muscat wine. Hilarity was going to ensue. No question.

I, was fortunate enough to house/dog sit the night of the party and totally got out of going. I was relaxing on the couch when my supervisor, Mr. Ma-Chine, texted me, saying "you gotta get over here, the White Tiger is shitfaced". Weeeell, ok! Now you're talking. I couldn't resist.

What I walked into, I was not ready for. Our Peruvian secretary was screaming at everyone to stop calling her a Mexican, which no one was doing. She was 100% totally smashed, complete with bobbing and weaving motions while seating in her chair. She also started spitting on floor. Because "whad da eff you gon do bout it beeetch" so why not, right? That's normally why I spit too. Someone brought their child, and this child decided to sing "Jingle Bombs" and do a routine in which she portrays a terrorist. Highly PC and appropriate, considering one staff member is Muslim.

All the cool kids (Mr. Ma-Chine, his BF J, the Frenchman and his Quinoa, Ms. Angela Martin, Chop and his BF, De-Ron and Branch) were all sitting on one side of the room, away from everyone else so I saddled up and took my seat between Ma-Chine and J and got caught up on the party gossip.

Apparently, the White Tiger bit. it. during Havana-Gila. I mean, face plant on a table. Her attire did not help her cause either. As Ma-Chine said, it was like 10 lbs of shit in a 5 lb. bag. Someones husband taught everyone to make guns out of paper. The Peruvian secretary humped some people on the dance floor and then a trashcan. I was stalked by the girl child who was brought to the party by her mother and father. I hate them for that. She was telling everyone we were sisters. I really hated that. You know how I feel about children.

At the end of the party, the cool kids were the only ones left and we sat around and talked trash about everyone. Tis the season!

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Ohh, the 60's, where racism was legit.

Liberal is Anti-American?

In a recent interview Rep. Michele Bachmann, from Minnesota, basically calls out liberal democrats as "un-American" mostly because they see America as imperfect. I would argue that to see America as imperfect and work to make it better is the most American thing we can do. Our country was founded by men who questioned their government and fought to "form a more perfect union". These men were called seditionists and traitors, but it was because of them that we live in the country we love so dearly today. I would say that to become complacent and not question your government, to not hold it accountable for its actions, and to not work to make it better would be comparable to the loyalists of the revolutionary period, and therefore truly un-american.

Furthermore, the GOP has been accusing Obama of being socialist and questioning his patriotism because of his association with Ayers... what about the fact that Palin was a member of a political party that wanted Alaska to secede from the United States? I'm not sure but I believe when you want to leave the country you are apart of, that is the MOST un-american thing you can possible do. To question a government and to fight for change is one thing but to fight to leave a coutnry is a whole other thing!

If you can logically argue this, please do, because I am truly confused as to where the GOP gets off accusing Obama as being un-patriotic when their VP candidate wanted to leave the country?

Dear Mom,

Thank you for not sucking as a parent. Seriously, what is wrong with some people?
