Weeds Season 4!

About 4 months ago I was introduced to Weeds. It is a show about a widowed mother who starts to sell weed to make ends meet in a California suburb. It is a dark comedy with awesome humor! I recommend this show to anybody that likes a good laugh. Every character is truly interesting and CRAZY. The actions and comments made by the characters will make you laugh until you cry. Its entertaining and the plot is amazing. Season 4 starts June 16th (Monday's) on Showtime at 9pm central time. Here is a link to a few clips from season 3...let me know what you think!

Hi.

So this is my first post. :]

The topic? music of course. because it is life.

Alright, so the other night, I'm watching 27 Dresses (good movie)...and lo and behold I hear this song in it and I'm just overwhelmed with so many emotions. So I looked it up.

"Be Here Now" by Ray La Montagne

And then I downloaded it because it was so great. Why was it great? Glad you asked! :)

You know when your going through a hard time and everything hits you at once...and there is nothing you can do about it? You have tried absolutley everything and cannot pull yourself out of this gloomy feeling/situation...anything...it could be anything. This song was my epiphany. It just gave me this message to be encouraged in whatever I do. It was like screaming "Get up off your butt!" Don't think about the past and what you lost...don't even look far into the future, because that results in expecting too much. BE HERE NOW. Look at the present and where you're at. Is this where you want to be? For me that answer was a definite no so I am getting myself busy and doing what needs to be done...or at least trying very hard :) . Have faith that things will work out. That things will fall into place the way they should be. Happiness lies inside of you...you are the only one that can make yourself happy...don't depend on other people. So cheers to that, and Carpe Diem.

With love,

WBN♥

N.E.R.D.'s new single sounds like crack...

N.E.R.D.'s new album "Seeing Sounds" comes out June 10th, and i'd like to pre-celebrate by presenting you with their new single, "Everyone Nose."

The song is about female cocaine users in clubs! Hooray, kids!

I love N.E.R.D., but this song makes me feel like i've been taking Speed for years or something.

False Action by Police?

So, the Texas Supreme Court ruled this week that the police officers in west Texas did not have enough evidence to take over 400 children from a polygamist ranch. All of the children were released and given back to their parents. The officers and Child Protective Services said that they were trying to end child abuse against the girls who were forced to have sex with older men.

I read a month or so ago that many of the children didn't know who their parents were because this "religious" way of living requires that every women be a mother to every child. The men in the ranch said that they were being wrongfully punished because of their religious beliefs. Do they have protection under the First Amendment to carry out polygamist actions?

The United States Supreme court has ruled on this type of case already. They ruled a similar case with Mormon's in West U.S. saying that these actions were not okay. It should be very interesting to see if the U.S. Supreme Court picks up this case. It would bring a whole new ruling to religious actions and child custody laws.

It seems to me that there is something wrong with this. I know we live in a free country but it is sick. There are a few men that sleep with several women and these women are as young as 14-16 years old. This alone should be looked at as violating the law (many religious groups feel they can go around laws because their religious freedoms. This is wrong!!!!). Then, all the women act as mothers to all the children. I don't know the full details of how this religion works but there should be religious boundaries. I am all for religious freedom...but some actions should be regulated. My philosophy is every person has their own beliefs. There are hundreds of different religions and then their are laws. Especially in a country like the U.S. every religion can't be pleased. It comes down to compromising and trying to be fair to the citizen of the United States. The government should be able to regulate religious actions as long as they are not interfering with religious beliefs. This is what it comes down to.

Thought?

oh leggings!

various definitions of "leggings" (according to urbandictionary haha):
1. these are cute stockings that are a 2006 revival of eighties fashion.
2. Definitely not pants. (supposed to be work-out clothes)

okay so not only are college girls wearing these leggings as pants, but celebs are too!
according to definition number 2, they are meant to be somewhat like undergarments-not everday all-around-town wear.
Yeah, they are a cute revival of 80's fashion...but at least wear them under a skirt or a dress- then you can easily call it a cute outfit.
Whatever you do, please don't wear them alone....and esp. not with a short tee! ew.
Come on ladies-let's not degrade ourselves to work-out-looking styles EVERYDAY.

exhibit a (below): cute, cute, cute, and cute! these celebs know how to dress their leggings!


exhibt b (below): no, no! everything is wrong with the way these leggings are portrayed! not to sound harsh, but she is a model, everyone comes in different shapes, forms, and sizes. In other words, not everyone looks like that when they wear leggings as pants and a tiny tee. So just be on the safe side and don't let all the junk you have in your trunk-literally-hang out and about! please. :)

until next time--

yours truly,
