Gift Cards

With just 3 more days until Christmas, shopping time is dwindling. I, for one, am all for gift cards. That way a person can just get what they want in the first place~you don't have to worry about size, color, or them standing in line to take it back. But doesn't this kind of take away from the joy of actually finding a gift for someone, that and they know exactly how much you are spending on them.

What really bothers me about the whole notion of gift cards, is now they are advertising gift cards for fast food chains. Really, in a country where a large percentage of the population is overweight, is this really a good idea? I suppose for the merchants it is a great idea. The way that I see it, is that if someone doesn't have any money, they are not going to be likely to go out and get some fries and a coke, but with gift cards, it doesn't matter if they have any money or not, 'cause they can just put it on the card (pretty much the same with fast food chains taking credit cards). But it is Christmas. If you want to make sure someone is eating, then get them a gift card to a store or a gift basket of food~don't enable what is likely a bad habit.

'Tis the season....

TO SMELL GOOD!

Have you ever noticed just how many "gift sets" of perfumes, lotions, body sprays, colognes, etc there are on the shelves this time of year? It is almost as if we don't want/need others to smell good at any other time of the year, only around Christmas time. Must be because we are all packed together during the pre-, mid, and post holiday shopping rushes...

And more on that subject~saw proof today that Brit's done what any other lagging musician does to bring in more revenue~~develop a line of perfume. Now I for one am not sure that I want to smell like anything that Brit can come up with, but the commercial entertained me, well the end of it did anyway. A young lady running through the woods, a "hunter" and an arrow that looks like it has a plunger attached to the end of it. Probably so that they didn't have to have a disclaimer, that poor animals were not hurt during the filming of the commercial. OH, and the name---Well, that's the best part of it----CURIOUS....As in what being killed the cat...really Brit, don't think you have left much for us or yourself to be curious about, so are ya foreshadowing now or what?

Alas, it's almost over

So I must admit a secret guilty pleasure...

I have been suckered in to watching "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila" on MTV~actually I have been watching it more on the web, since it is on air at an awkward time, but more on that another day. Now I for one am not, nor have ever been big on "reality" shows. I don't fret over "Survivor," I couldn't care less about "The Real World," "The Bachelor (ette)" was just obnoxious...about the only other one that I have ever gotten into was "Celebrity Mole," and I think a lot of that had to do with the blond haired blue eyed brother that was on "The Young Riders" once upon a time.

But anyway back to "A Shot at Love"~I feel as though a love affair is about to end. I have watched the drama unfold in the house, outside the house, out of the state--it is a fairly dramatic show. lol. I have fallen in love with Dani, as have numerous other females and males whether they be gay, lesbian, straight, bi or otherwise undecided. I was more than glad when some of the less than tolerable contestants were "kicked to the curb." I was almost, almost, in tears when some of the contestants were told their shot at love had ended. And now the show is ending too, sob, sniff, sniff.

But I do have some things to say about the show. First off to Ryan's Dad, where ever he might be, "Sir, your close minded, uninformed, stereotypical opinions are exactly the reason that your son has turned out the way that he has, and Sir, HE is the better man for his open mindedness, though some of the comments that he makes shows that he isn't ready to do a drag show and feel comfortable about his manhood. Oh, and by the way, your daughter is curious at the very least."

And Tila darling, "You can't choose. You can be with one person at a time, but loving both men and women is something that is always going to be a part of you. Being strictly with one gender or the other in your self proclaimed bisexuality is against who you are and perpetuates more stereotypes. Just be happy in a monogamous relationship with either gender until something happens and someone else comes along."

And Dani, "YOU are awesome, and I think everyone that has seen you and actually listened to you knows it. And you don't need all the makeup, you are a more beautiful person without it."

Check out what I'm talkin' about at A shot at love.

Brand spankin new!

Yepo, this is a brand spankin' new blog, and it is mine, all mine. I got a lot on my mind and got to get it out somehow, so here it is~wrapped up in a condensed (possibly), brand new, web spot...OH, the excitement. Posts on here are not meant to offend, upset, anger or confuse, though at times maybe they are and will, but so be it. Rudeness will not be tolerated.


About me: female, in the US, work for the US (as a coincidence), intelligent, bisexual, single, no children and on and on~~~more on all of these later.

So as Bartles and James said, Thanks for your support.
