Of course, when I thought I had to rush to 208 W. 41st St to see Adam & Mark back on B'dway, they extend their contracts to stay another month... good thing to know, although it is a little late now! I'm going tonight, health depending!
Here's to Michael Vick's sentencing.... the streets outside the courthouse in Richmond, VA are packed with those PETA members! Wonder if Janice Dickinson will show up for this event.

what the f?!
So, I am just checking my credit card statements online, making sure everything is right when I sign into my one credit card & see total chaos has broken out on my recent transactions page!! What is going on, I am getting charged like $40 dollars,$10, 4 times from FEDEX & then UPS is charging me $1... WOW! So, I know why I have these charges, well actually no, I dont know why, I mean, I signed up for account registration the other day online, when I emailed my friend about returning the gifts to me, (which, got credited back to my account!) but, for signing up for an account I now get charged $40 by fed ex? COME ON! Seriously, I just wish people would do their jobs correctly, so that I now don't have to spend a 1/2 hr of my life tomorrow morning on the phone with these people explaining this mix up to them! Then, I have to wait a couple of days for them to credit my account back, I mean, It's all just unnecessary & a big pain in the ass!! Ugh, I'm frustrated! I'm going to lay down, because my head is burning up!!! Yeah, I am still siickkk! =['

On Stubhub, they have tickets for Dec 4th at HP Pavillion Center in San Diego?? *i guess whoever is selling these tickets either has some PRIVATE concert or they have some info that nobody else knows!* & Dec 7th at the Staples Center in LA, they are only like $330/ticket, which is not bad at all, considering it is the SPICE GIRLS & it's basically a limited tour.....

Jen & Brad
So Jennifer Aniston might have a new Brad, no, Brangelina did not break up, but Brad (ley) Cooper & his wife, Jen (nifer Esposito) filed for divorce last May, after being married for 5 months. So maybe it is meant to be with this new couple. He can replace Pitt & she can replace Esposito! Plus, they both recently signed on to star in the movie, He's Just Not That Into You, based on a best selling book by Greg Behrendt & Liz Tuccillo. It was a great book, every girl should own a copy of it!! & you can also check out the book that I consider the GIRL version of the book, Be Honest, You're Not That Into Him Either by Ian Kerner, Ph.D.
Back to the new couple, they seem to have some stuff in common besides the obvious that they share names of their ex's! They are going to be starring in a movie together, they both have dogs (she has 2, he has 3) both athletic & like weekend getaways! He also starred with Jen's other ex, Vince in Wedding Crashers!! Who knows what will happen with this couple, all I know is I cannot wait for the movie to come out!! We can blame match maker Drew Barrymore if this love interest doesn't work out & if the movie is bad as well, because she is heading both projects!
The only thing I don't understand is why, it is going to be taking place in Baltimore?

yAnkEe gANG....
Has the fitted game gone too far?! So, I know it is all about your fitted game, guys care more about hats lately & making sure their "game is tight." Did New Era, the hat company that makes all authentic hats for major league baseball take their game to a whole new level? Apparently. These hats turned up on the shelves in Harlem and many people are upset by this! These new hat designs represent the biggest street gangs. The red & black is for the bloods, the black & gold is for latin kings & the blue and grey is Crips.MLB claims they were unaware that the designs were gang related. They are "very concerned about the issue and they are going to encourage and support efforts to pull these hats from the stores."
Statements from the Yankees,
"The New York Yankees were completely unaware that caps with gang-related logos and colors had been manufactured with the New York Yankees logo on them. These caps were made under a licensing agreement between New Era and Major League Baseball and were not subject to the Yankees' approval nor shown to the New York Yankees at any point prior to their retail distribution.
The New York Yankees oppose any garment that may be associated with gangs or gang-related activity. Upon learning of the existence of these caps this morning, the New York Yankees contacted Major League Baseball. We were notified by the Commissioner's Office that steps had already been taken to recall the caps from all points of sale. The league ensured that no such product will be manufactured in the future."

There were calls made to New Era, the company that released these hats but there were no returned calls.
Away Messages, Life messages?
I never realized how much you could learn about a person without even talking to them! In today's society, you don't even need to have actual contact with a person to know what they plan on doing each day, who they have spoken to, any upcoming plans & who they are with, etc.
The internet makes all of that possible! Thank you for enabling stalking!! =] I seriously never paid much attention to what I would post on my away messages each day or each time I changed them. I would put quotes from movies, tv shows, or songs I liked or relate to. At times I would put my plans for that day, when I would be back and how to get in touch with me! Locations such as school, work, mall, shower, getting dressed, and downstairs even came up! From reading my messages you could know my life story of the day.... I would wonder how people knew what kind of mood I was in, or how they knew I wasn't feeling well, or was stuck in class til 7, so text me! Then I realized, it was my away messages...
At times I found myself checking up on my friends! Oh No!! I started to become a random away message checker!! =\ AHHH! What was my life coming to? Now with the new AIM, you dont even need to have 100 little windows opened with buddy info, the new AIM is stalker friendly! They allow you to have one window open and it will just change info as you click on a new screen name on your buddy list and ... they even gave you more info, like when your buddy last updated their profile & put up that current away message!! So, apparently, I wasn't the only away message checker- others were doing the same thing!!
So, I now came to the conlusion, I'm going to be a little less informative when I put up my away messages from now on.... maybe I'll just be "AWAY" or "not here" you certinaly wont catch me with messages such as "shower, eating, or sitting here, im me!" I'm going to become a little less available!! Have fun stalking me but don't expect much help from those aways of mine.......
Atleast I know I am not alone, found these messages & they are kinda funny...
"Checking away messages. It's like stalking, but no one knows you are doing it. I even have people's names on my buddy list that I don't know, but I hear they have really good away messages. Some people really put their all into away messages. There are the people who document their every move: "I am taking a shower, but when I get out, I am going to pee, shave, and then iron my pants. Call me if you need me before I go to the mall at 2pm." Then there's the creative one: "I am away from my computer right now." And of course there's that one from the really cool guy: "Yo its friday night, I am drunk, and not sittin up lookin at away messages" Funny how that guy never seems to go idle." hahaha
"Don't you get so annoyed when people leave away messages? I mean, if they're away, why don't they just sign off? Stupid people."
"Real Men of Genius. Today I salute you, Mr. Compulsive Away Message Checker. While most people are out living life, you are at home reading about it on your computer. Right-mouse-clicking and Getting Buddy Info, or even using the little Info icon at the bottom of your Buddy List. Sure there are people on your list that you haven't talked to in years, and would probably consider you a stalker for keeping them there, but that doesn't stop you from reading their away messages...EVERY DAY. So click open a fresh new Buddy Info window, Marauder of the Mousepad, and don't wander too far from your computer...because you never know when someone will be back." hahaha
TIME FOR A SHOWER!!! (you wont find that on my away....!! ) =]
GEO, the next TOM?
I don't really get all the hype surrounding the iphone. When new gadgets come out, I use to run to the stores to try and score them but lately, not so much! I figured I didn't have AT&T nor the need to spend $600 on a cell phone that could run my life for me (it intimidates me, not gunna lie!) so I figured, I'd pass! Well, I no longer have to pass up this trendy, all in one gadget! GEO, a 17 yr old boy from NJ, hacked the iphone!! He figured out how to unlock the phone, so now it is available on TMobile as well. This kid spent a long time trying to figure out how to unlock the phone, so he could use it but not switch to AT&T. I don't know all of the details of how long it took Geo or whatever, all I know is he did it & posted the directions online, on his blog! http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com/ 
Below, all of these dirnks were what he used to keep him awake to accomplish this task! He actually took the phone apart, rewired stuff, did some sodding, put pieces back together and reprogramed the phone, I'm guessing he really wanted to get this phone to work on TMobile!Geo has two unlocked iphones, the first unlocked iphone, he is keeping for himself, but the second phone, he actually listed on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230164884672but he seemed to be having some sort of problems, so if you are really interested in buying the phone, contact him through his blog! He says he is going to buy a car with the money he makes from selling the 2nd iphone, which he autographed for you! Personally, if I was even serious about considering to buy that phone, I definitely wouldn't want it with some little 17yr old kid's autograph on it, GEOHOT, sorry... hate to burst your bubble little boy, but you just are not cool enough to sign my cell phone! 
you can check out Geo talking about his big breakthrough, on youtube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvJ1RGlxe8Q
Now, back to my life..........
Where my dogs at??
Yesterday the police raided DMX's home in AZ after receiving a tip about dog's being treated inhumanely. So the sheriff's dept found several, 12 dogs tied up outside without food and water. They also found the remains of 3 dogs burried in the backyard, cause of death could not be determinded because of the bodies were decomposing. But one of the dogs they found was burned. DMX, was not at his home when they raided it and the sheriff's dept contacted one of his lawyers and said these conditions needed to be improved, no arrests were made.Murray Richman, one of DMX's attornies said that DMX hasn't been to the house in 2 months and was "extremely disturbed" to hear the animals weren't being cared for properly.
"We had a caretaker that wasn't taking care, that's what happened," Richman said. "He loves dogs - he loves these animals. Those dogs are practically his family."
So I guess DMX's album, Year of the Dog... Again" & all of his "DoG" songs is appropriate as he keeps finding himself in situations with his dogs. He was ordered to pay back over $242,00o for failing to promote his dog clothing line, Boomer 129, http://www.hiphop-elements.com/article/read/4/6835/1/
and this isn't the 1st time he has had issues with his 4 legged friends and I'm afraid, it wont be his last either!
"You my dog and I'd die for you, let's keep it like that
Give me unconditional love and I'll give it right back."
JT a JO?!
So, I was reading Star the other day & came across the story that Jessica Biel's friends are telling her to dump Justin and I couldn't help but laugh. I am not a fan of JB's but I am of JT's! =] I was at his concert last week, August 16th, at MSG! And, I don't know if it's her or if it was just a bad day for me, but after seeing his concert a numerous amount of times, I just wasnt as impressed as I usually am!
I figured on this leg of his tour, the 16th was the night not to miss, because it was being filmed for HBO, to air in the beginning of September, so dating back to my *Nsync days, I knew that when they filmed concerts for HBO, those were usually the best shows- but honestly, I walked out of the concert, not that satisfied! I've definitely seen Justin have finer moments! Who knows? Maybe it was just me, because Kim seemed to enjoy herself, she said it was good! Amy & Lin were also at the show.... I recall Amy saying, the concert was okay? I'll have to check & get the
report from Lin and her about the show, see what the verdict is..... but maybe Jessica should dump Justin, maybe it is hurting his career, cuz you know, she is like a desperate little dog, chasing him all over the globe....... but just as I'm searching for the story about her friends telling her to ditch him, I also found stories that they are now moving in together, so who knows? One good thing can come out of this, it's being reported that Justin wants to move to NEW YORK!! That could be a good move..... JT living in NYC!! Either way, I think Justin needs to ditch Jess & move to NY! Or maybe Jess should just listen to those friends of hers.... http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272615511.shtml

But, I also find it rather amusing that Justin "brought sexy back!" and now Jessica is "too sexy" to get the parts that she wants for movies! Now, I def wouldnt go that far Jess.....
So maybe Jess is too sexyy & if that is true, then just maybe JT really is a JO! *jerkoff!*
Leaping Leonard
So, everyone knew our beloved Rutgers football player, #23, Brian Leonard was going to be doing big things... I am so happy he's having so much success so early into his NFL career!! Knew it wouldn't be long before he started showing the world, the Brian Leonard, that Rutgers knew and loved! He made #5 on ESPN'S SPORTCENTER Top 10 plays for the night, coming in at #5... his leap over Oakland Raiders #27, Fabian
Washington.
You can check out his leap on youtube. Here's the link to a video, http://youtube.com/watch?v=5dxkqe5rn7M
Best of luck to you Brian! You deserve nothing but the best & Rutgers will miss seeing all those leaps!! Thanks for putting RU on the map!! =]
First comes love, then comes marriage!
So, lately it seems like everyone around me is getting married? Am I missing something? Is it now cool to get engaged and married so young? I mean, I know I want to get married, I know I want children but I'm only 24..... I honestly couldnt imagine getting married and having kids anytime soon. Although, it would probably be nice to start to settle down, it took me a really long time to get out of a really bad relationship that I was in for most of my existence! Haha, well not really but in a way, yes! I was dating Chris from the time I was 16, and it got "exclusive" when I was 18... so basically 18-23.. although that relationship is not something I want to get into... I'm just using it as an example b/c of the amount of time it consumed in my dating career!
So, I'm bad at dating, I guess you can say... haha. I just want to be young, free! I do kinda wish I could have the last 4 yrs of my life back, it would be great to be 20 and free! Maybe, I wouldnt be romantically challenged like I am now. But I dont even know any male that I could consider spending the rest of my life with! I have a hard enough time picking out my clothes, let alone planning the rest of my life! So, that starts to scare me, am I going to be the 40yr old who never got married? Who never had a family & children? Gosh, I hope not!! That would suck! It may be okay for some people, but for me, it sounds scary & upsetting! I want kids!! 3 of them, I want a house in California, Fl & NY! I want to go on many family vacations, I want to have my son play baseball & my daughters to follow in my footsteps & become little ballerinas! I want all of that, but who do I want it with? Haha, you've gotta be kidding me! I seriously couldnt imagine if I had to pick someone whom I already know, to spend the rest of my life with! Okay, one person comes to mind, but he is just a really good friend, that's all he'll ever be... I think I need to move to another state, maybe even another country to find this potential husband!! Then again, maybe my idea of a 'Perfect Man' is just unrealistic? I dont think so though..... I have high standards but they are not impossible to fill... Who knows?
I better jump on this though because I don't want to be old when I get married, I do want to be fairly young & I would like to know the person for a couple years before we get married as well, so if I want this to happen anytime soon, I better get off my ass & start searching for my Prince Charming!!
So if you are out there reading this & you think you are husband material, try me! Or you have some friends, someone who you think would be good for me, hook it up!! I'm open for suggestions... I'm clearly running out of time here!! Maybe I can get a deal like Snow White, go into some sort of coma, freezing time, not aging at all, and then my Prince can come on a beautiful white horse (or nice white BMW) and kiss me, rescue me, so we can live happily ever after..........
Haha, I know, I need to stop dreaming!
Funny, cuz my little brother said to me a couple of months ago,
"You need to get a boyfriend!"
I quickly replied, "I have 25 of them!"
and my mother laughed.
(25, the number of players on the New York Yankees! get it? The Yankee bench is my boyfriends?! haha)
Yeah, well clearly, the joke is on me now!
But, the whole reason for me starting this post was, I am not educated on the proper wedding etiquette. I mean in the past, the only weddings I have attended were those of family & friends (not my friends, my parent's friends, family friends & my older brother's friends) so, I always went with my family, never went solo or with a date. So, now that my friends are starting to rush to the alter, I realized the 1st mistake I made in my wedding attendance history. One of my best friends from childhood is getting married next month, I have not seen her in about 10yrs, but we managed to stay in contact over the computer. When I was in 5th grade, she moved very far away but moved back fairly close again 2yrs after that, she came back to visit a couple times when I lived in my old house but I have not seen her in a good 10yrs. So we talk online, we talked a lot more when we were younger- in college as now, working & grad school & life just seems to get in the way, so I keep in touch with her now mainly over facebook & the ever so lovely, Myspace! So, she got engaged last year, I never met her fiance, but I know of him, because I remember when they 1st met, she told me about him, okay, so they got engaged & everything, I was invited to the wedding, I got invited to her bridal shower that was last month, I sent my regrets, I could not attend the shower because I had work, plus it is hard for me to go to PA, alone... not knowing anyone going except for her mom & sister. So, I said I couldnt make it, it didnt seem like a big deal to me, I sent a present though, I went onto Bed, Bath & Beyond, found her registry & got her something off of that & sent it with a nice little note, "Congratulations, I wish you & Luke a lifetime of happiness, love & health! Love Allison" so a couple days after the items were delivered to her apt, I receive a thank you note in the mail from Amy, it was just a regular thank you card, nothing having to do with a wedding, no return address on it at all... I truly was not expecting to read what was waiting for me on the inside of the card. It went a little something like this, I'm not sure exactly because I ripped it up and threw it away......
"Allison,
Thank you for your generosity & thinking of Luke and I but I cannot accept your gifts. It makes me very uncomfortable to accept them from you being that I have not seen or spoken to you in nearly 10 yrs. You probably wouldn't even know I was getting married if it wasn't for facebook. I am sorry but I will be returning the gifts tomorrow. I hope you can understand my feelings and respect them. As I thought you would be coming to my bridal shower but since you didn't it just creates a situation. Thank you. Amy"
Okay, so now I'm confused! This doesnt seem like someone who I spent most of my childhood with, this seems like a random person I met on the street. Maybe it's just me? I am not a person who lives in the past, as I am very much aware of the present & who are my real friends, but I clearly did not see this coming! 2, what situation does this now create? Was I wrong to send a gift? Was it a horrible decision on my part to not attend the bridal shower? I always thought bridal showers were informal, the weddings were the big deal, but have I misunderstood the whole concept? It really upset me, but I just tried to put it behind me. This is not the Amy I know, she clearly has changed. I can't blame her or hold it against her but, I just thought that we would always remain friends, always be close, no matter how far away we are from eachother, but guess I have a different grasp on that friendship! So, I am no longer going to the wedding as I now feel very uncomfortable! But, I guess now I know where this friendship lies... and that from now on, I better attend Engagement Parties, Bridal showers, Bachlorette Parties *yes, I know they are for guys, but man, I dont want to regret not showing up to anything!!* and of course, the weddings!!
So tonight I sent her a message on myspace, as I have been checking my credit card statement every day this week to see if she has returned the items! Nothing yet, but hey, it's a $200 I can spend elsewhere! Maybe, I'll buy something really great for myself, something to make me feel like a better person! (Cuz, I know I am a good friend! I'm not conceited but, if you are one of my friends, I'd give you the world!) But, I then decided to go onto Bed Bath & Beyond's website to check out their return poilcy, so okay... she doesn't have a receipt, I dont even have a receipt, I just have the conformation emails for the purchase & then the shipping conformation, so it states:

GREAT!! So, basically the only thing she can do is return the items & get a merchandise credit or a refund check to herself! Now, not to be a bitch... I wouldn't mind if she kept these items, because I purchased them for her as a gift, but being that she sent me that cold thank you card & said she couldnt accept anything from me, I now want my $200 back!! Why waste $200?? I could clearly use the money on something else, so I sent her a message on myspace, I was not mean at all, I was just simply asking her if she could please send me the items so I could return them myself, because she would not be able to get anything but a merchandise credit or refund check, wait, I'll post the message,
"hey amy,
i got your thank you card, sorry it took me some time to write back but i have been sick! listen, i competely understand where you are coming from, i did not mean to make you uncomfortable at all, that was never my intentions, i just wanted to send you something but i understand how you dont feel you can accept it. I know you said you were going to return the items, i'm not sure if you did so already, but i'm pretty sure they would just give you a store credit?! so, if you didn't return the items yet, if you could ship the items to me, i could return them. i could provide you with a prepaid shipping label... just let me know what you want to do! Again, I'm sorry about everything, i was only doing it with good intentions, wishing you well. but, get back to me and let me know, okay? again, i wish you nothing but the best, you were a good friend to me & i still consider you a friend, although we don't see eachother, but you are a big part of my childhood & those memories will always be with me! hope to hear from you soon! x0<3 "
I dont think there was anything wrong with my response, let's just see what happens... but man, never in a million yrs did i think my 1st wedding of my friends, wait! 2nd wedding, because technically, alex got married back in july, but i didn't attend his wedding! (yes, that is a whole other story in itself!! let's just say, with friend weddings, i am not doing too well.. i'm 0-2 haha) OKAY, I'm done now! I need some sleep, but these yankees are killing me!! It's 3:12, this game was delayed for 4hrs.. and it is now tied at 6, in the top of the 11th inning with 1 out! & Jorge got thrown out after he struck out his last at bat, i seriously haven't seen him get that mad in a very looooooong time!! but the umpire was a definite diiiiick! In a way, I'm kinda glad that I didnt end up going to Detroit for these games, because 1. the game was delayed 4hrs, it didnt end up starting til 11 2. it is supposdly really bad in detroit, weather wise, they had like a tornado 3. i dont really feel good at all! 4. rachel ended up not being able to meet me anyways, because she is actually coming back to NY tomorrow! yay!! So, we will clearly be partyingg in the city soon enough!! yay! okay, goodnight!!
*i think it was a pretty successful day of blogging for me! especially for my 1st time, i think i did pretty goooood, i'm a natural! =] *
So, I'm bad at dating, I guess you can say... haha. I just want to be young, free! I do kinda wish I could have the last 4 yrs of my life back, it would be great to be 20 and free! Maybe, I wouldnt be romantically challenged like I am now. But I dont even know any male that I could consider spending the rest of my life with! I have a hard enough time picking out my clothes, let alone planning the rest of my life! So, that starts to scare me, am I going to be the 40yr old who never got married? Who never had a family & children? Gosh, I hope not!! That would suck! It may be okay for some people, but for me, it sounds scary & upsetting! I want kids!! 3 of them, I want a house in California, Fl & NY! I want to go on many family vacations, I want to have my son play baseball & my daughters to follow in my footsteps & become little ballerinas! I want all of that, but who do I want it with? Haha, you've gotta be kidding me! I seriously couldnt imagine if I had to pick someone whom I already know, to spend the rest of my life with! Okay, one person comes to mind, but he is just a really good friend, that's all he'll ever be... I think I need to move to another state, maybe even another country to find this potential husband!! Then again, maybe my idea of a 'Perfect Man' is just unrealistic? I dont think so though..... I have high standards but they are not impossible to fill... Who knows?
I better jump on this though because I don't want to be old when I get married, I do want to be fairly young & I would like to know the person for a couple years before we get married as well, so if I want this to happen anytime soon, I better get off my ass & start searching for my Prince Charming!!
So if you are out there reading this & you think you are husband material, try me! Or you have some friends, someone who you think would be good for me, hook it up!! I'm open for suggestions... I'm clearly running out of time here!! Maybe I can get a deal like Snow White, go into some sort of coma, freezing time, not aging at all, and then my Prince can come on a beautiful white horse (or nice white BMW) and kiss me, rescue me, so we can live happily ever after..........
Haha, I know, I need to stop dreaming!
Funny, cuz my little brother said to me a couple of months ago,
"You need to get a boyfriend!"
I quickly replied, "I have 25 of them!"
and my mother laughed.
(25, the number of players on the New York Yankees! get it? The Yankee bench is my boyfriends?! haha)
Yeah, well clearly, the joke is on me now!
But, the whole reason for me starting this post was, I am not educated on the proper wedding etiquette. I mean in the past, the only weddings I have attended were those of family & friends (not my friends, my parent's friends, family friends & my older brother's friends) so, I always went with my family, never went solo or with a date. So, now that my friends are starting to rush to the alter, I realized the 1st mistake I made in my wedding attendance history. One of my best friends from childhood is getting married next month, I have not seen her in about 10yrs, but we managed to stay in contact over the computer. When I was in 5th grade, she moved very far away but moved back fairly close again 2yrs after that, she came back to visit a couple times when I lived in my old house but I have not seen her in a good 10yrs. So we talk online, we talked a lot more when we were younger- in college as now, working & grad school & life just seems to get in the way, so I keep in touch with her now mainly over facebook & the ever so lovely, Myspace! So, she got engaged last year, I never met her fiance, but I know of him, because I remember when they 1st met, she told me about him, okay, so they got engaged & everything, I was invited to the wedding, I got invited to her bridal shower that was last month, I sent my regrets, I could not attend the shower because I had work, plus it is hard for me to go to PA, alone... not knowing anyone going except for her mom & sister. So, I said I couldnt make it, it didnt seem like a big deal to me, I sent a present though, I went onto Bed, Bath & Beyond, found her registry & got her something off of that & sent it with a nice little note, "Congratulations, I wish you & Luke a lifetime of happiness, love & health! Love Allison" so a couple days after the items were delivered to her apt, I receive a thank you note in the mail from Amy, it was just a regular thank you card, nothing having to do with a wedding, no return address on it at all... I truly was not expecting to read what was waiting for me on the inside of the card. It went a little something like this, I'm not sure exactly because I ripped it up and threw it away......
"Allison,
Thank you for your generosity & thinking of Luke and I but I cannot accept your gifts. It makes me very uncomfortable to accept them from you being that I have not seen or spoken to you in nearly 10 yrs. You probably wouldn't even know I was getting married if it wasn't for facebook. I am sorry but I will be returning the gifts tomorrow. I hope you can understand my feelings and respect them. As I thought you would be coming to my bridal shower but since you didn't it just creates a situation. Thank you. Amy"
Okay, so now I'm confused! This doesnt seem like someone who I spent most of my childhood with, this seems like a random person I met on the street. Maybe it's just me? I am not a person who lives in the past, as I am very much aware of the present & who are my real friends, but I clearly did not see this coming! 2, what situation does this now create? Was I wrong to send a gift? Was it a horrible decision on my part to not attend the bridal shower? I always thought bridal showers were informal, the weddings were the big deal, but have I misunderstood the whole concept? It really upset me, but I just tried to put it behind me. This is not the Amy I know, she clearly has changed. I can't blame her or hold it against her but, I just thought that we would always remain friends, always be close, no matter how far away we are from eachother, but guess I have a different grasp on that friendship! So, I am no longer going to the wedding as I now feel very uncomfortable! But, I guess now I know where this friendship lies... and that from now on, I better attend Engagement Parties, Bridal showers, Bachlorette Parties *yes, I know they are for guys, but man, I dont want to regret not showing up to anything!!* and of course, the weddings!!
So tonight I sent her a message on myspace, as I have been checking my credit card statement every day this week to see if she has returned the items! Nothing yet, but hey, it's a $200 I can spend elsewhere! Maybe, I'll buy something really great for myself, something to make me feel like a better person! (Cuz, I know I am a good friend! I'm not conceited but, if you are one of my friends, I'd give you the world!) But, I then decided to go onto Bed Bath & Beyond's website to check out their return poilcy, so okay... she doesn't have a receipt, I dont even have a receipt, I just have the conformation emails for the purchase & then the shipping conformation, so it states:

GREAT!! So, basically the only thing she can do is return the items & get a merchandise credit or a refund check to herself! Now, not to be a bitch... I wouldn't mind if she kept these items, because I purchased them for her as a gift, but being that she sent me that cold thank you card & said she couldnt accept anything from me, I now want my $200 back!! Why waste $200?? I could clearly use the money on something else, so I sent her a message on myspace, I was not mean at all, I was just simply asking her if she could please send me the items so I could return them myself, because she would not be able to get anything but a merchandise credit or refund check, wait, I'll post the message,
"hey amy,

It's 3:12, this game was delayed for 4hrs.. and it is now tied at 6, in the top of the 11th inning with 1 out! & Jorge got thrown out after he struck out his last at bat, i seriously haven't seen him get that mad in a very looooooong time!! but the umpire was a definite diiiiick! In a way, I'm kinda glad that I didnt end up going to Detroit for these games, because 1. the game was delayed 4hrs, it didnt end up starting til 11 2. it is supposdly really bad in detroit, weather wise, they had like a tornado 3. i dont really feel good at all! 4. rachel ended up not being able to meet me anyways, because she is actually coming back to NY tomorrow! yay!! So, we will clearly be partyingg in the city soon enough!! yay! okay, goodnight!!

a SpOoNFuL oF suGAR....
In every job that must be done
there is an element of fun
you find the fun & snap!
the job's a game
And every task you undertake
becomes a piece of cake
a spree! it's very clear to see that..
A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
A robin feathering his nest
Has very little time to rest
While gathering his bits of twine and twig
Though quite intent in his pursuit
He has a merry tune to toot
He knows a song will move the job along - for
A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
The honey bee that fetch the nectar
From the flowers to the comb
Never tire of ever buzzing to and fro
Because they take a little nip
From ev'ry flower that they sip
And hence (And hence),They find (They find)
Their task is not a grind.
Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h ah!
Okay, okay! You get the hint, I know! So, I saw Mary Poppins on B'way on Tuesday (8/22) with my sister & my mom. For my sister's birthday (8/24) I got tickets to take her to see the play, because she likes Mary Poppins & mom came along, well because, I figured it would be a nice thing to do! =] So, as I do like Mary Poppins, I'm not a huge fan of the movie, frankly I do not remember much of it except for the fact that my little cousin Kelsey used to be obsessed with the song, "LETS GO FLY A KITE!" I spent a lot of time at my uncle's house when my cousins were little & Kelsey had the Disney Sing-a-long's & that is where she learned the words to the song, so everytime Kelsey was on the swing set, she used to want to sing that song! So, it has some meaning behind it, lol. I know, I know I'm rambling but come on, it's 1:35am & the yankees are STILL PLAYING!! (It's a tied game, top of the 7th inning, Alex is at bat, he hit his 42nd homerun earlier in the game!)
Okay, back to my Mary Poppins, so it was a great show, although I did feel it was veryyyy loooooong! It seemed to drag on at certain parts, maybe it was due to my disinterest in the show? Or the really uncomfortable seats & lack of breathing room! I seriously felt like a sardine inside a tin can... the seats were so tight, I had no leg room at all, it sucked! The scenes that really had me in awe were all the dancing scenes, of course, I take note of choreography, it's a habit, so anyway, the chimney sweep scene was great, as well as SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS! (i think i spelled that right! haha, i got a very cool shirt that has it on it!) Kristen got a shirt that says, "Pratically Perfect!"
So, as the show dragged on, I couldn't help to think about this one thought & when I was just taking my medicine, it brought my original thoughts back... So A spoonful of Sugar, helps the medicine go down? REALLY? Sorry, I have had manyy bad tasting medicine's in the past & yes, I can say that, because I do get sick quite a lot & also, I couldn't swallow a pill until I was 19 years old, so imagine being old & swallowing liquid medicine, yes! It was rather disgusting!! But, I never tried to eat a spoonful of sugar with my medicine.... and if you read the lyrics, the song really does not make sense at all........
So during the play, before the song came on, Mary Poppins gave Michael & Jane (the Banks children) some medicine, but they were not sick! I found that a little odd, then when Mr. Banks' (the father), when his nanny came to tend to the children because Mary had left, the 1st thing she did was give the children some medicine. So it made me wonder... the playbill says that this took place "somewhere in London at the turn of the last century" so, was it appropriate to give children medicine for no apparent reason? I mean, it wasn't vitamins or anything, it was a liquid & the children were healthy at the time, so it wasn't a cough medicine or anything, or atleast it wasn't being used to treat something like a cough!
So did parents or nannies back then drug their children to make them behave? I know that sounds weird but, it's quite commical if you think about it! I don't ever remember my parents or babysitters giving me medicine for no reason? But, I remember one time when I was babysitting, the mother told me to give her daughter some cough medicine that was in the refridgerator if she wouldnt go to sleep. I really didn't think twice about this because the little girl was just getting over being sick, so I figured she might have some trouble sleeping. Although I did not give her the medicine. But, this is something that people could end up in trouble for. Could you imagine if Britney Spears was caught giving Sean Preston or Jayden some cough medicine to make them tired & go to sleep? Kevin would have her ass in front of the judge first thing Monday morning!! Haha, all kidding aside though, is this acceptable or is it a form of abuse?
If it was an adult, taking cough medicine becomes a form of abuse, drug abuse! So, is giving the medicine to the children allowed? I don't know the answer to that, but according to the song, everything becomes fun, with a spooful of sugar helping that medicine going down, so I guess they were just hiiiiigh! Nice, drug problems.. blame it on Disney- they said to take the medicine!

tO bLoG or NoT tO bLoG...
Okay, so I'm competely bored outta my mind, it's a Friday night, one of the last Friday nights left in the summer and I am home sick! That's crap, I know, I know! So, lately I've been having some really ridiculious thoughts go through my mind & figured maybe I should start keeping track of my crazzzy ideas, they might come in handy one day, hence the new blog! =]
Anyways, so what's new? Well, 1st off what is with the media lately...? I swear, I used to looove the fact of working for Media with the Yankees, but not so much anymore! The fact that these people just pry in on the lives of people lately & they have absolutely no privacy, just isnt cool. Definitely not something I think I can associate myself with. Although, I do love the Media Relations Dept at the stadium, (Jason & Ben are great guys!) Just the actual "PRESS" drives me crazzzzzy! I'm not even talking about anyone in particular, it's just crazzzy! Like, I'm watching the MY9 News right now, because the Yankee/Tigers game is in about 3hrs & 45 min rain delay right now and it seems that Michael Vick's dog fighting ring is at the top of everyone's stories lately. Okay, I get it already! The guy was an idiot, he did something wrong, I will NEVER understand why anyone enjoyed dog fighting, I mean, is it just me? But, this seems TOTALLY ABSURD! Who wants to watch dogs fight? Certainly, not me?! Well, okay so yeahh, now the police raided DMX's home in Maricopa County, Arizona & they found like dogs that were being treated inhumanely. They also found tons of ca$h & lots of weapons. Although he was not arrested or charged with anything, it's just like wow! Then the next story was about this "Animal House" in Saddle Brook, New Jersey, there were over 100 cats & dogs left behind when people moved out. 23 animals were found dead and 113 were rescued, the owners who used to live in the house were charged with animal cruelty. So, okay.. Michael Vick is suspended by the NFL indefinitely, DMX, who knows what's going to happen there & these regular people who got evicted from their home (I'm guessing, cuz the house was a foreclosure) so who knows what will happen with them.
Then you have people like LiLo.. okay, so yeah, I admit, I watch ENews! But, seriously if Linds is at home in Long Island, out partying in LA or in rehab in Utah, it doesn't effect my life in any way!! I did feel really bad for the girl though when I saw the pictures of the papparazzi waiting in the woods to get pictures of her rehab group rafting.. like come on! How did these people know they Linds and her group was out there? Can we say STALKERS? I truely believe that in Lind's case, the media constantly being in her face, has caused many of her problems.. LET THE FRIKENN GIRL LIVEEEE! I feel bad for the girl, she is only 21 & she has been in the spotlight for soo long.. Look at MK & Ashley, they said they dropped outta school at NYU because they didn't feel safe, they didn't like the idea of sitting in class & having their classmates sell stories about them to the media... WOW! Like what could they honestly say, "Oh I sat next to MK today in Fresh Seminar and she had on a black shirt, dark jeans & big black boots she looked tired, maybe she is on drugs & was out all night the night before partying!?!" COME ON NOW, GET A LIFEEE!!
But the point I'm getting at is, why does the media blow everything out of proportion?! I'd love for someone to follow these people around for a week, see how clean those fingers are that they quickly point at others!!
*MORAL of the story, JUST WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF!*
Okay, well the Yankee game is about to begin, so I'm out!
Happy Birthday Krisssss!<3

Michael Vick is suspended by the NFL indefinitely, DMX, who knows what's going to happen there & these regular people who got evicted from their home (I'm guessing, cuz the house was a foreclosure) so who knows what will happen with them.
Then you have people like LiLo.. okay, so yeah, I admit, I watch ENews! But, seriously if Linds is at home in Long Island, out partying in LA or in rehab in Utah, it doesn't effect my life in any way!! I did feel really bad for the girl though when I saw the pictures of the papparazzi waiting in the woods to get pictures of her rehab group rafting.. like come on! How did these people know they Linds and her group was out there? Can we say STALKERS? I truely believe that in Lind's case, the media constantly being in her face, has caused many of her problems.. LET THE FRIKENN GIRL LIVEEEE! I feel bad for the girl, she is only 21 & she has been in the spotlight for soo long.. Look at MK & Ashley, they said they dropped outta school at NYU because they didn't feel safe, they didn't like the idea of sitting in class & having their classmates sell stories about them to the media... WOW! Like what could they honestly say, "Oh I sat next to MK today in Fresh Seminar and she had on a black shirt, dark jeans & big black boots she looked tired, maybe she is on drugs & was out all night the night before partying!?!" COME ON NOW, GET A LIFEEE!!
But the point I'm getting at is, why does the media blow everything out of proportion?! I'd love for someone to follow these people around for a week, see how clean those fingers are that they quickly point at others!!
*MORAL of the story, JUST WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF!*
Okay, well the Yankee game is about to begin, so I'm out!
Happy Birthday Krisssss!<3
