I don’t like saggy pants either…

But to make it illegal and FINE someone?

“Are they employed? Do they have a high school diploma? It’s a wonderful way to redirect at that point,” said Trenton Councilwoman Annette Lartigue, who is drafting a law to outlaw saggy pants.

I mean if I were QUEEN of the world, I might outlaw baseball caps that people wear cockeyed on their heads, but then if someone else was KING they might outlaw my brightly colored fun tights I love to wear…see where I’m going with this. Yeah, personal opinions people, not laws.

And we wonder why nothing ever gets accomplished.

Relax.

Relax

A friend gave me this little card a long, long time ago…when I first went away to college. Little does she know, I have had this little card in a frame and displayed not too far away where I can see it at all times.

It’s a real nice reminder, especially today.

Ya know? Nothing else really matters besides family and friends. Saving the world comes second. ;) And work and all the other day to day drama? Not even on the radar.

I need to remember this. I need to be the BEST girlfriend and daughter and stepdaughter and granddaughter and sister and aunt and niece and cousin and best friend and neighbor I can be.

Everything else will just fall in place…

(It’s been an exceptionally long, difficult, emotional week.)

PLEASE BE CAREFUL LADIES!

My friend Jenn sent me this link…I have to say that usually, I’m not one who thinks about these things and just goes about my merry way, but yikes. Yikes.

Suspect in holdups, sex attacks sought

Buffalo police believe the same man may be responsible for as many as a half-dozen robberies and sexual attacks on women in the city dating back to last Thursday.

Detectives Wednesday night were piecing together what they believe were significant similarities in the attacks, which frequently have occurred around midnight.

The assailant is a black male in his 20s, about 5 feet 9 inches tall. He has short hair and often has been reported wearing a green or gray hooded sweat shirt that is usually left open. In a couple of the attacks, he appeared to be jogging. He arms himself with a box cutter.

“Women should be aware of this,” said Dennis J. Richards, chief of detectives. “Women should be careful and are encouraged not to travel alone.”

The first attack occurred just after midnight Thursday on Potomac Avenue near Chapin Parkway. A woman was forced to perform oral sex on the suspect.

Let it go…

A song by Great Big Sea. A song by Great Big Sea that have just listened to three times after coming back from lunch. I think I’m going to play this song everytime I feel the need to rant and then share. ;)

Update: Who am I kidding, ALL THINGS GREAT BIG SEA makes me smile. Lukey is on now. Anyone getting tickets for this show?

“Let It Go”

Let it Go, Let it Go
This is smaller than you know
No bigger than a pebble lying on a gravel road
Let it Go, Let it Go
Got to leave it all behind you
Give the sun a chance to find you
Let it Go

If you didn’t get my ranty email this morning and want in on the madness, drop me a line.

Chelsea Clinton

Whoa. Just took a peak at the Stats and I have had a ridiculous amount of hits for “Chelsea Clinton” over 50 today? The only mention of her on my blog is this story, from 2005.

So I googled “Chelsea Clinton” and found only this…

New York Restaurant Owner ‘Shocked’ Over Ex-President Clinton’s Demands to Remove Chelsea Photo

Is this the big story? Really?

I mean I thought this nobody blond actresscumaspiringsinger’s tragic tale of childhood and her resulting boob job was more interesting then that story. Bring on this Heidi Montag idiot anyday! I mean her childhood was HORRIBLE…

In an exclusive interview, Montag confirms what Us first reported in its April 23 issue: that she had undergone rhinoplasty and breast augmentation earlier that month.

Were you ever teased about your appearance?
“People would say, “You have such a big nose!” And they’d make fun of me for being so flat, and say mean boy things, like, “If you nailed two nails in a board, they would be bigger than you are.” I was tormented. And when I was older, (emphasis mine) I’d want to be intimate, but I’d feel insecure. My boyfriends always had bigger chests than I did!”

OLDER? For heavens sake she’s only 21 now. Plllllleeeeeeeeease.

Take Us back to April 2, the day of ­surgery.
“I woke up, and it was like Christmas: I was a nervous wreck, but I was just so excited at the same time. Spencer said, “I’m so proud of you.” But surgery is a very big deal. Right before I went in, I was like, What if I don’t wake up? Oh, this is scary. Then I thought, I don’t care. If I don’t wake up, it’s worth it. I just wanted it so badly.”

No, seriously, like Christmas. I’m SO PROUD OF YOU HEIDI!!! LOL, like oh my GOD, congratz on the hooters babe! And if you didn’t wake up? This post would have been only about that terribly boring Chelsea Clinton story above.

A workday surprise…

I sent out a mass email yesterday talking about work. And I got a response from Jenn(ifer) asking me if I had any fun mail lately?

Well, yeah we did get a random $500 donation from someone out of nowhere. Fun!

But nothing fun…odd.

And then I realized that I had not checked my mailbox slot that week yet! I was out last Wed-Thu-Fri and came back to my cute little pile of envelopes in the corner. Sharon, ALWAYS hands delivers my mail. And I have a rare need to go around the corner to the slots. But when I did, I found a flyer and an ENVELOPE addressed to me at work with this inside.  :)

How lovely! THANK YOU! Now if I can only figure out which books to cover! I think the best part, besides being from a blogreaderfriend. And being penguins. And being about books…was that she sent it to WORK knowing work has been, well in need of happy penguins. So, thank you.

Turns out that after lunch, my boss and I were talking about how we still had not received an envelope we were expecting from UB….guess where it was. In her mailbox. I bet someone else did the mail one of those days last week.

The Pick Up Artist Season Finale.

Dud. Boring. Despite the fact I watched in the beginning, the series got old fast. And Mystery von Dorkwad, total tool.

The WINNER? As in the “MASTER PICK UP ARTIST” was this dude.

Kosmo. Yes, with a K, Krazy huh? SHOCKING BREAKING REALITY NEWS to find out that Kosmo, is an actor before becoming the Master Pick Up Artist, of course. As in actorcumMystery’snewpeacockedlover.

I just don’t see the attraction. Although I’m sure Mystery does. Let the naked all night breakdancing parties begin!
