It's My Birthday

Yes it's that time of the year it's my birthday. My 25th to be exact.

You are probably thinking, "Man she just seems so excited about her birthday, yeah right." Well why should I be excited. I'm not going to be doing anything that I don't normally do on a regular basis. I can't remember the last fun birthday I've had. Either something bad has happened or no one can show because it's after Christmas, so I don't have a party at all. I guess I should be glad I wasn't born on the same day as Jesus.

Speaking of Christmas, not too many suprises their either. I finally got the blender I wanted so maybe I can finally recreate those Jamba Juice Smoothies I love so dearly and miss sooooooooooooo much. I also finally got my Playstation 2, too bad that by next year their be a new Playstation 3 and yet again I will be behind. Oh well I'm just glad I finally have my own Game System again.

Also got some CDs, which is always good gift for me. Unfortunately I'm not all update to with music lately since I really don't listen to the radio and watch MTV anymore. got Smile Empty Soul but it's the freaking edited version, grr, and I got my replacement Trapt CD and their new CD. Then I finally got Cold's Year of the Spider and their CD after that one I believe. Please don't burn me at the stake if I'm wrong about that one. Then I got Taproot's new CD. So I had a rockn' Christmas.

Right now I have to decide what Tshirt I'm going to wear today. It's a tough decision cause I always like to wear my favorite things on my birthday. It's between my blowpop shirt or my Reel Big Fish Thundercats Style shirt. I guess since I'm wearing my Lucky 7 Dice JNCO jeans that have a little more red accent to them I probably should wear my RBF shirt. See these are things I ponder on about since I don't have anyone really to discuss much of anything with in my life. I know I'm pathetic, but that's just me.

So now I'm going to take a shower and start this day of really fresh. Wish I was getting a haircut, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

So I hope everyone has a great day and smiles and laughs, because I like it when people laugh and that makes me happy. So as my birthday wish I wish everyone a very laughter filled smiley face day. :)

Merry Christmas

Well this will probably be my last post till maybe Christmas night so I thought it would be best to go ahead and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.

When I was talking to my friend Carrie the other night she brought up how Christmas has become to commercialized, and I agree. However, if you think about it Christmas has been very commercial for some time. What do you think A Charlie Brown Christmas is about? It's basically about how the real reason of Christmas has been lost. Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ our lord and savior. You know the one who was born in a manger, that in most nativity scenes seems to always get stolen.

Their use to be the saying Jesus is the reason for the season. Now in our politically correct world, people would be like you pushing one religion over another. If you really think about it that is why Christmas has become too comercialized. People don't want to shut out people from other religions from celebrating this day.

The way the decided to package the holiday so that a broader audience for Television would enjoy it was taking the tale of Saint Nick, sorry I would spell it right but it's spelled a bit different. They expanded on this tale, that was true by the way, but made it into something more so that people who aren't of the Christian faith could grab hold of this holiday. I mean the original message of Santa Claus was good, he went to the houses of poor children and gave them shoes if I remember correctly or maybe it was money. It's been a while but the point is he gave a gift that to us would seem small, but to those children it meant a lot.

Today people go pushing and shoving and acting angry just to get all these things for people. That is not the point of this holiday. I think we all need to take a step back look our lives, and the world. Breathe in and remember the true reason and meaning of the Christmas holiday is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and praise him for giving his life on the cross for all of our sins.

We should show our friends and family that we love and care for them, but not by buying the most expensive or the hottest new things that our out but by letting them know we care and are grateful for them being in our lives each and every day.

And now on that note I shall say Merry Christmas everyone, and have a very safe and joyous weekend. Amen.

Christmas and More.

As You can tell I took the pictures of the outdoor Christmas light/decorations. Some are kind of blurry so I might reshoot later on but not right now.

I think I did a pretty good job since I didn't have any help really putting them up or putting them together.

In other news, yesterday for some reason I took my car keys with me when we were going out to eat in my mom's car. So I put them in the glove box when we went in to eat. However, when we got back home I forgot to take them out. She headed up to my grandma's like usual and I thought nothing of it. That is until today.

I realized I was low on contact solution, I was rather hungry and we had 4 bags of papers to take to the recycling bin. I get ready to go and I look around and I can't find my keys. Then it hits me. (You DUMBASS YOU FORGOT TO TAKE YOUR KEYS OUT OF THE CAR) So I call my sis, but my mom is out. She then calls me back and tells me she has my keys and laughs and makes fun of me.

Well at least I know where they are at. But that meant I had to eat whatever was in the fridge which really isn't much. So I baked some fries.

Now I'll have to ration my contact solution tonight, grr.

Other that, I've been extremely bored today, and come to the realization that some people are bit stuck on themselves, and very superficial. Yeah when you meet them or talk to them they might be nice and really cool to you, but it's for their own benefit to make them feel good cause you are most likely probably praising them and that feeds their ego. However, once you are gone they could give a rats ass about you. I'm sorry it's the truth and if you don't know whom I'm talking about all you got to do is think real hard and think of a place that is full of superficial people and fakes and I'm sure you can come up with whom I might just be talking about.

Here is the Noel that is on the front of the top steps. It's my middle name people so that's why it's getting a close up. Merry Christmas. 

Here is the bottom door with all the pine cone stuff. 

Here is a view of the lower portion of the steps. 

I know this is way blurry,. but this is the entire house. 

Here is the lights around or garage. 

Here is the pictures of the entire steps.  

Sorry for the blurriness on some of these. This is the top half of the steps.

In My Head

Well there are a lot of things in my head right now and I figure I better get them out of my head now before I lose my mind.

Streets are called streets for a reason right? Streets are the things you move along on and drive on right? Since when did streets become parking lots? I mean if you have a freaking driveway why not use it? Especially when you have a very long driveway. Why do you need to park on the street if you have a driveway that can hold probably 8 cars? I mean if you expect the road to ever get clear so people can actually drive on it, which is it's intended purpose than freaking get your car in your own freaking driveway and stay there.

As some of you may know I'm trying to lose weight. Why am I trying to lose weight? Well if you really know me and have seen within the last century you'd know weight, and don't be shy about it, I know deep down inside you have thought about it. Moving along though, I've hit a plateau which is only going to be hampered by all the holiday candy, cookies, and other lovely items that are for consumption in the next week or two.

However, after New Years I'm totally cutting out the cookies and candies, I SWEAR MAN. Which will be quite a task, but I'm up for it. Whenever I get a craving for any of those I'll just grab some water and drink away. Then i'll rush to the toliet cause I'll probably really have to go to the bathroom.

I was going to try this fasting program again but I don't have enough money to buy the stuff to do the 2 Day Fast. But I'll figure something out. Cause the last time I did it I lost just about 4 pounds in 2 days.

Anyhow I'm in process of a writing a story that has some of the things that happened to me in California in it, but it's not going to really be based on my life. So if anyone reads it and then passes judgement on me because of it get a reality check, cause would I honestly write anything that's a 100% about me? I think not. So it will have a bit of a mixture everyone I know or have known in here and there in a few of the characters. Also some of the things might not neccesarily have occurred in California that I put in it. But just letting you all know.

Now finally I think all the Christmas craziness is done for me. Although there are a few books I'm eying to buy for my own enjoyment. I haven't really read a book since my sister let me read her book Soapsuds, which was very interesting and funny. If anyone has any real good book suggestions for me let me know.

Here is a pictures on our way leaving the Plaza area. 

My Last Night.

As you can tell from the pictures I went into the city with my mother. I had fun. I always have to see the laughing ho ho ho Santa, ever since I was a little kid I just thought he was the coolest thing ever, and I still do.

Other than that nothing too much exciting in my life right now. There is this one thing I need to put up that I made for Christmas, just got to get out the good old Duct Tape and use a little here and there and it should be good to go.

I'll have our outside Christmas Decoration pictures up hopefully sometime next week.

This isn't even really part of the Plaza, but its' right near the end of it. 

Here we go again and thank god you can't see the liscense plates. I remember when I was in CA someone shot a picture and my car happened to be in the picture with my liscense plate completely visable for all to see. I came across is searching for websites and I got pissed. People can do some crazy things when they find your liscense plate. I don't need any stalkers since mine is personalized. 

Ok these next few pictures are of the Plaza Lights from the car, so they are a bit blurry but you get the point. 

Here is the tree that is hanging from the ceiling at Crown Center in between the escalators from the third floor to the second. 

This is the Mayor's Christmas Tree outside Crown Center in Kansas City. It's not that great of a tree in my opinion. 

Here is the second picture with me and the ho ho ho laughing Santa. My mom isn't the greatest with digital cameras. By the way I have a little video footage of him, but it's sort of messed up. If you wish to see it email me or IM me on AIM. 

Ok here is the first picture my mom took of me with the laughing ho ho ho Santa man, man do i look a bit akward. 

Here is a close up shot of "Da Man", the laughing ho ho ho Santa. 

Ok here is the Santa I was talking about. He's the one that every Christmas since I was little has been at Crown Center, sometimes in a glass box and sometimes with other annoying Rejects from where the live Santa is at. 

I Hate Snow

I really do it's not a lie. I really do hate snow. I think it all stems from the time I was home alone and a tree limb almost landed on my car, or would have landed on my car and smashed it if it had been there.

People can't drive worth shit during snow storms regardless of how little their might be on the streets. A vast majority think well hey I have an SUV or a truck it can get through it. WRONG. One you need to know how to use your 4X4 properly if your SUV or truck does in fact have that, Also just because it's that type of vehicle doesn't mean it has 4X4. Idiots.

When I was little of course I loved the snow, cause that meant no school and I could play in it. I didn't have to worry about driving in it or worrying about other people who can't drive, or shouldn't be driving, driving in that weather. When you are a kid you have no worries and are care free.

Plus staying out in California for about 3 years doesn't really help you love snow, because you become spoiled to the nice, sunshine weather. The weather where the sky is blue and where you might not even have to wear a coat outside.

This explains why when it gets even to like 55 degrees I'm wearing the most gigantic heavy coat that I have to keep me warm because now I get so cold, even when it's actually not really all that cold out.

But oh how I miss those nights in California where all I needed was a sweatshirt to go out and about and never had to worry about ice, sleet, snow, or even hail messing up my car or causing me to slide around the road.

I bet you all guessed that I didn't drive at all during or after this snow storm, because unlike some people I know when it's better to just let someone else drive. I mean it's been so long since I've driven in snow or icey conditions. I think the last time I did was back in high school and I had other people in the car and when we got to school they decided to cancel and the whole parking lot was a sheet of ice but I made it home ok with a little skidding in the school parking lot.

I don't care that the snow might look pretty but, when it's on the road it's evil.

Here is the lovely pathway to the street. 

Here is the begining of the path way I made to head out to the street. 

Here is what I shoveled in front of the garage. 

Here is the steps I shoveled from the snow storm this past Thursday. 

Why Do I Blog?

I really don't know why, since no one seems to read this, or at least they don't post any responses. Maybe I just have sucky friends or something. Or maybe the friends I do have, actually have lives unlike myself.

But I guess the real reason I blog is because I get bored quite easily and this, is an easy way of putting what's in this insane head of mine out there, without really thinking about it. Which I know in some cases can cause some bitch fights or other arguements but since I haven't heard anything from anyone I guess I'm safe.

Right now I'm sitting here listening to some of the d disc from my 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't be Wrong. Which is a collection of unreleased songs or demos. I'm rather enjoying it cause I've loved Bon Jovi since I was a little kid, even when they had that little mellow patch there for a while. But they have a lot of motivational songs. Especially when your life is not so yee haw.

I finally got to writing a little of my story or whatever it shall become. Nothing will ever come of it, but it's been something that's been in my head for a while and I just needed to write it. Speaking of which if anyone has any pictures of Sunset Blvd., Santa Monica Blvd, or any pictures of any part of the the 5 heading to LA or the 101 Heading West, or the 405 heading South, I'd greatly appreciate it. Cause I can't seem to find my dream sequence video I made for my film class a few years back. I just need this stuff to help pull out the rest of the story out of my head.

Christmas Time is Upon Us

Well its' that time of year, where you hear all the annoying Christmas songs, especially that damn "It's The Most Wonderful Time of Year" by Andy Williams. It definately isn't the most wonderful time of the year, the weather is crapy, and people are cranky or very rude cause god forbid they wait in line and being patient. No people have to trample people over in Walmarts or bop people in the head just to get things for Christmas presents, which really takes away from the whole point of Christmas in the first place.

But anyhow I've almost got all the outdoor decorations up and working. Just a few more things here there I need to do.

I'm also pretty much done with my Christmas shopping too. Also for those people who I know that sometimes I give presents to, well I'm not giving presents, but I am sending cards out. I'm going to be doing that this week, so I might need your addresses, probably most likely cause I'm not very good with the organization of having addresses.

I other news Camel Cigarettes sent me drink coasters with acholic beverage recipes for my brithday. Strange thing about it is if you know me you know I don't smoke and I'm extremely against really being around it, but I don't get anal about it though. And two I don't drink, yea yea i know for like a year or so when I was in California I did but I haven't since then. I think that has a lot to do with I don't have the money and it's not like I have my own place. But I just found it really amusing that they since me these. Oh well more drink coasters for me.

Here is the front steps from another angle so you can see the bottom door.
