Random Thoughts...

Miss me? Yah, I thought so. I've been on the road for almost a week now. America sure is a beautiful place but it all looks the same to me. I guess I've been here too long. I miss home. Oh I miss home so much yet I love this place too. What is a woman to do? I'll fill you on the details later.

Have You Taken The Test?


Faf, I'm honored! I felt like that quiz was intentionaly made for me. And how did you know I'd choose THAT answer. No, I don't think those quizes are stupid. I think they're blog fillers. Anyway thanks. I had a great laugh and a great shock!

Tomorrow I leave for the great yonder. To find myself and true enlightenment. That's as long as there's a Burger King and Wendy's on the path to Enlightenment.
What am I hoping to find? I have no idea but a little inspiration would be nice.

Hopefully I'll find a beach somewhere where I can walk barefoot in the sand and watch people burn themselves while I ponder on the mysteries of life. Maybe I'll write a love letter and mail it to some random inmate on deathrow. Or I might just leave it in a cafe for someone to find. Maybe I'll buy a homeless guy lunch at a nice restaurant. Why? Because it's a nice thing to do? No, because I can.
Oh, who knows what will happen. I might come back empty handed or with a whole new outlook on life. Wish me luck.

Alias Season I Finale

Did the season finale of Alias kick butt or what?! I've got to say Abrams is amazing.
Was Emily poisoned by her husband? And why did Sloan tell his wife about SD6 if she's safe. He loves his wife but there's no way he's going to turn down the offer to become one of the 12 in the Alliance. Yup, Sloan is moving on up and who knows who's going to take his place. Hint.. Bristow!
How dare they kill of my man. Th love of my life Vaughn! Didn't see that one coming at all. I always thought Tippen would be the one to die but nooooo... they had to make it all dramatical and kill my Vaughn. I couldn't believe my eyes and it hurts just to think about it. Vaughn is gone. I hope Tippen makes it back to work in time before his boss publishes the story Tippen gave her in case anything ever happened to him. If that gets out, all hell is going to break loose.
The mole for the CIA was that snotface all along. I guess that was the only obvious thing in the whole show. Which is kinda suprising because it just looked too easy.
Whoever through Sidney and her dad wouldn't make a connection? They had to work together to destroy the Rambaldi artifact and I bet next season, they're going to work together to take down The Man (Sidney's mother) after Sidney escapes of course. And after her mother tries to convince her to join her side but I'm sure she'll have no trouble trying to kill Sidney if she refuses.
And will Dixon expose Sidney? I can't wait to find out. Hint, once Bristow is in power, he's goign to confirm to Dixon that what Sidney was doing was top secret. All this time we were thinking Khasinau ws the Man. It sounded a little fishy that they'd call him THE MAN. When in fact, The Man was no man at all. Who was it? I knew the minute I saw Khasinau try to give Sidney something to eat. Such affection could only mean he was connected to her in some way. He was connected to Sidney' mother... The Man. And now everything makes sense.
This is not the end. It's just the beginning. I don't know how they're going to top this but the season premiere of the next season better kick major butt!!!

ALIAS on ABC 9/8c
How would I describe Alias? La Femme Nikita meets James Bond. Only more intense.

This just takes domestic violence to a whole new level.
When I first heard that an unusual amount to women were being killed by thier wives, I thought it was rather unfortunate. When I heard it from friends and family back home I was majorly disturbed and frankly, I'm a little worried. Are these men getting away with it? Is that why it's so rampant or is it a mental condiion? What are our Ghanaian men up to? What could a wife possibly do to deserve murder? This just takes domestic violence to a whole new level. Some men need to learn that women are no longer property.

Prostitution wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't a stigma attached to it.
A friend called me with an exciting secret she wanted to share. She seemed too excited, almost as if she'd just found the secret to a happy sucessful life. When I asked her what information she had that would blow my mind, the 20 year old girl told me, "people give you things if you sleep with them".

At first I thought she was joking. In my head I was saying "that's prostitution" but the only thing that came out was, "oh really?" I guess she never learnt about the birds and the bees and the bumblebees. Now, how do I explain things to her without shattering her naive hopes? Apparently, she'd just lost her virginty to her sugar daddy. He took her on a shopping spree after their "first" night and now she thinks she's set for life. By the way, her sugar daddy has 3 kids by 3 different women, non of which recieve child support. How naive can a person be? Do I let her find out on her own or do I tell her she's being used and watch her accuse me of being jealous. What to do, what to do.

Nestor Carbonell
Yes, my new tv crush. It used to be the Rock but just like Joe from the tv show "Friends", he now reminds me of a dumb blonde. Nestor Carbonell who plays Luis on Suddenly Susan is cute AND smart. Can you believe that he went to Harvard? I wonder if he's single. I'm starting to wonder if I'm going through a Latino crush phase. It's just something about Latino's.


Anyway, for the past couple of months, I've stayed up (watching Suddenly Susan) waiting for the episode where Vicky and Ben get married. I once saw that episode and loved the music they had playing at the wedding. Now I can't even remember what that song was. So I've been waiting for that episode to come back on. Guess what! The one night I fall asleep early, it comes on. Can you believe that? Who is it that said, "if something can go wrong, most likely it will?"
I've been online searching and searching and searching. All I want to know is th title of the song playing at Vicky a Ben's wedding. It's drivig me crazy!

I think I'm starting to grow a butt.
I went out yesterday and I was amazed at the attention I got. I know I've been hibernating for a while but man this was strange. I wore a little black floral dress I found in the back of my closet. At first I just thought that is was because we just came out of winter. Guys are always more oggly-eyed right after a long winter, but no! We've been having warm weather for a while now. Then I thought, maybe the dress I wore was a little too tight. Maybe it was but I had no other clean clothes and I have put on a few pounds. Then a friend made a positive comment about my ass. I was shockprised!!! Yes, I said SHCOKPRISED! I thought twice about it, thinking he might have meant it sarcastically, but no. I was shockprised all over again!
All my life people have been making fun of my non-exisitant ass. Now I have one sprouting out of nowhere. Wonders will never cease. All along, I was just a late bloomer, a very late bloomer. Not to mention, I have found my new favorite ass dress for the summer.

All this ass talk just made me remember the Blockbuster commercial with the hamster and the rabbit.

Alias Update
Finally! Tippin is dead or at least that's what they want us to think. But seriously, he had it coming, don't you think? Ever heard the words.. "curiosity killed the cat"? In Paris, the expresion when he realized it was Sidney was hilarious. Who ever knew Khasinau was behind the Will Tippin drama? Who, I want to know which viewer saw that coming?

Emily Sloan, I sure feel sorry for her. She's about to recover but you know the Alliance is going to have her killed. Not if Sloan can help it. I know he'll find a way even if he has to resign and go into hiding. And who do you think he's going to ask for help when he does? Sidney! And then who's going to take Sloan's place as head of SD6? No, not Sidney, not yet, but her father. Hmm, what do you think?

I don't think Dixon just suspects, I think he knows that Sidney is a double agent and things are slowly becoming clearer. Howeve if he knew he really wasn't working for the CIA, I don't think he'd turn her in. Maybe it's time he found out. We need more double agents if we're going to bring down SD6. On the other hand, I doubt it but maybe Dixon is a double agent for some unknown branch of the government. You can never know with Alias.

I wanna know about Sidney's mom, I wanna know what happened to her. Is Sidney going to finally meet her on Sunday or do we have to wait till the next season for that? I hope nothing bad happens to the writers before then.

Next week is the season finale. I can't wait till the entire season's episodes comes out on video and dvd.

I'm so excited! I can't say why. Ok, yes I can.
The best way to soul search is to look around you. That's why I'm leaving town. Just for a little while, to find myself out there. I hope to meet some interesting people out there.
The most interestingly weird person I ever met drove a funeral car. He once had this thing with what he thought was a banana. It was actually a plantain and he couldn't undertand why it took so long to ripen. Then when it did, he was determined to eat it even after I told him what it was. Serves him right for thinking it would taste good raw. He even peed on his room mates things because of something he did or did not do.
Yes, such a person scares me but the way his mind work fascinates me.

Interesting reading...
Oh there's nothing better than having your scalp massaged. Well maybe there is one thing... a good journal. Speaking of which... bubbles journal always makes me laugh.

Careful what you wish for!

A couple had been married for 25 years and was celebrating the husband's 60th birthday. During the party, a fairy appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple all those years, she would give them one wish each.
The wife said, "We've been so poor all these years,and I've never gotten to see the world. I wish we could travel all over the world." The fairy waved her wand and POOF! She had the tickets in her hand. Next, it was the husband's turn. He paused for a moment, and then said, "Well, I'd like to be married to a woman 30 years younger than me." The fairy waved her wand and POOF! He was 90.
