Easter and the Bunny

I was at church for 2.5 hours tonight. My sister got confirmed and her first communion. Since I have yet to do this it got me to thinkin' that maybe I should get my life together and my schedule in line with this for the next RCIA run. I know most of you don't know what I'm talking about right now but I felt the need to share nonetheless.

So how did Easter become about chocolate and the bunny? And how did the Easter bunny become some sort of tradition? I went to look on the internet about this but it seems to me that no one has a believable explaination. To me, Easter is a time for family and friends. A time to remember how lucky we are to have these people in our lives, and to remember what Jesus did for us. And while some of you may celebrate Easter, but not believe in Jesus, I choose not to address you now. The true meaning of Easter, the reason Easter is even a holiday is Jesus. If you choose not to acknowledge this, than that is your choice. It is my choice to acknowledge this, which I do.

On other notes, my road trip was quite successful. D and Alana's Boyfriend got along quite famously, and we ended up having a delightful evening of debate and wine. On the trip home we stopped in Bellingham to a little drive-in called "Boomer's." It was a true drive-in and we ate in the car. We all got a kick out of it, and it was pretty good food. I thoroughly enjoyed my burger, while D bitched about how there was mayo on his (for those of you who know him, you will know that he hates mayo, and usually requests it held from his sandwich... they called mayo a secret sauce and he got sucked in) We arrived home late in the afternoon and had a nap when we got there, exhausted from the night and morning drive.

I am officially ready for my summer classes (lets have a moment of silence for my summer shall we? Why is it I am paying people to ruin my summer?) and believe it or not I am kind of looking forward to it. Alana will be joining me in 2 of 4 classes, and I think I will be dropping one class should it not work out the way I want it to. I will not overdose myself this summer, and as it stands I will have an 8 hour day (straight) on Wednesday.

Anyway, there is my little update/ramble. I will be back in the next day or two with a rant I am sure.

Happy Easter to All!

ROAD TRIP!!!

Miss Alaaana Darlink and I are going on a road trip with her boyfriend, and by the end of the 3 hour drive, I am sure he will rethink his whole being. But off to other things, there wont be many updates in the next day or two, but keep coming back, its nice to see you all..

And by the way... people suck.

I wish i were smarter. I have NO idea how to put links in my pretty little link spot over there on the right. And I don't know how to put my guestbook code in, so all you peoploe out there going wow, nice template, I want to tell her.. should just email me at mp3_diva@hotmail.com which I would link but I know most of you don't use outlook and therefore would only get annoyed by it like I do.

So what do you think of my template? I realize, by reading other blogs that I think this is going to be more of a rant page and a story telling page than it will be a journal. I get annoyed by people who feel the need to sit there and tell you how their class was canceled or their boyfriend is depressed, or how they were raped by a dog when they were children. What-ever. Shut up.

SO what is there to talk about at this time? How about final exams? Nawww.. not enough of you (my loyal readers) are in school... How about the new tv show "Under One Roof"?

What a concept. Five families living under one roof - to win a dream house in Fiji. Can you believe that shit? I personally found it amazing given most families can't get along for longer than 3 days in one house, let alone having 5 families of different order. So far it seems interesting - but last night was only the first episode. Catch a second one on Friday night at 8 PST (I believe) or see UPN for more information.

I will have the sitemeter and the guestbook as soon as Patrick comes online and tells me how the fuck to do it. Sheesh Tara... you better start learning this shit.

New Template with a New Direction

You ask yourself, what direction is this nutjob going to take? Well, I don't know just yet, perhaps I will like you more... perhaps I will talk about the deepest darkest regions of my life. And, perhaps, I will just be normal. What is normal you ask? Well, I dunno but I'm just not it.

Technology Sucks

I would love to praise blogger, but I can't, as I have posted three times in the last 24 hours and it has not shown up. Not only that but last nights hyperlink did not get inputted into the page. And quite frankly I am sick of my template but I can't change it.

Why else does technology suck? Well, lets take user-friendlyness shall we?

Why is it that Microsoft can give you free lame games on you computer when you buy it, but you do not get an incorporated anti-virus? Would it not make more sense for them to include that into their products to help the computer illiterate out there? And speaking of those computer illiterate people, they obviously are not apt to understand defragmenting, disk cleanup and scan disk, and scheduling in Windows, even with the wizard, is a bitch. So why can't they make this easier for those people out there, who have a computer, but have no idea how to maintain it?

Take my Aunt for example, great woman, computer illiterate. Her computer has stopped working, and since its not new, it will have to be reformatted with Windows ME. (Does not meet XP standards by any means) Do they make this easy for her to do? No. In fact, maintaining the computer is a journey for her. And her desktop is more cluttered than a pack-rats garage so how can you expect her to find what she needs anyway.

They like to call PC's user friendly, when in all actuality, in order to keep your computer running at prime efficiency, you have to be apt to do so. Microsoft should take a step back and look at what they could improve for the average Joe, and call THAT Windows XX Home. Professional can be less dummied up.

Just my rant, based on the last 24 hours. Now lets see if it gets posted.

Okay so here is my ridiculous news story of the day. What the fuck are they running out of hot chicks?

Playboy Planning 'Women of Enron' Spread

The Sun Will Come Out

It appears I am feeling considerably better, but I am still not back to normal. This past weekend was helpful with the sun shinning in to wake me up (albiet at 11:00 am) but it woke me up.

I love feeling the depression lift. I still have things to work on but I now know that it won't be long before I feel back to my old self again.

Jamie (see below) has been very very nice lately and I am not sure how to take it. I mean really, this is a person who made it their lifes mission to piss me off, and now they are going out of their way to be nice - and it doesn't even LOOK fake? What the fuck is up with that? I am expecting this fantasy "lets get along" crap to disappear.

I have to say though, it has been making me feel alot better about going where I need to go.

Peas and Carrots.

I wonder if maybe I should start writing a story in here. I used to be quite the writer when I wasn't rambling (like i do here) and maybe I could find some sort of plot and you all could tune in like a daily fucking soap opera. Hmmm. Maybe. I will let you all know....

im out.

Okay so I just finished watching Zoolander. I picked this movie based on my feelings of unhappiness and figured as stoopid comedy would world.

I have to say it was funny. You have to be in that cheesy mood where all you really want to do is laugh at the stupidity of others. So I recommend this movie when you are sad, or perhaps you are just into weird cheesy fucked up comedys. It is definatley comparable to the likes of waynes world... because the comedy isn't intellectual rather it pokes fun at a specific characterisitic of society or pop culture. In this case, its male models.. and of course, Tyson Beckford (he's hot) makes a special appearance, although he could be mistaken for Tyrese until he looks straight on.

So check it out when your in the mood.

-t-

Today, there is sun. Well sorta, its breaking through the clouds. Almost seems symbolic to my life or something. I dunno.

What is happening in the world today? I wish I could be like Patrick and find all the most wonderful news and clips and flash-thingamadoodles, but I am not so good at that. I just talk about shit. Shit is interesting. There are many different types of shit. How weird was the last line or so?

Okay so I have nothing to say but felt the need to share anyway.

A Fascinating 24 Hours

Something is in the air. What it is, I may never know, but in the last 24 hours, weird things have been happening. People turning up after being AWOL for a year, people phoning and enlightening me with 'what really happened with Dickhead', and then, it happened. I had an unexpected dinner guest. This is the focus of the story.

I personally believe in God. And, I believe God has a sense of humor. This has been shown to me on many occasions, but tonight was the icing on the cake. Recently I found out that the person in my life I do not like (we will call them Jamie as to be completely androgynous) will be spending even more time with me than I planned. I thought I had a couple more weeks of Jamie, and then I would never have to see them again. As it turns out, we should tap at least another 3 months onto that. How did I find this out? Well, I decided to talk to Jamie about my feelings. I decided to put it out in the open, that it was not that I wanted to be rude, I just wanted to do what was best for all those involved. That meant not making any effort to talk to them on a social level. They agreed, although I think they felt hurt. They made a snide untrue comment, which by the way I let slide, and that was the end of the conversation. I felt better, hell, I felt like singing. Make note to yourself that this happened yesterday.

It is now Thursday evening, and I am cooking dinner for the family. I rolled out some fresh pasta, and made a nice marinara sauce with a hint of red wine, with some caesar salad and steaks. It was lovely, and for a moment I felt like my normal self. Just as dinner was about to be plated, the door bell rang. Enter Jamie.

Yep. You heard me. Jamie. I didn't know how to take this and asked Jamie what they were doing at my house. They said that they just thought they would stop by, have a social visit rather than being bombarded with our usual stressful tasks. I decided to bite, and invited them in. As I finished up dinner, I felt as though I should offer dinner to Jamie, and did so. While this whole situation was relatively uncomfortable (I don't know if it was because of my feelings for this person, or whether it was because I looked like hell and was still in my pajamas) it actually turned out nice. Jamie asked me if I wanted to come out to their place and watch a movie or something - I declined as "L" was coming over later on, and after a peaceful dinner with light conversation, Jamie left, not overstaying their welcome (for a change).

Something is in the air, God has a sense of humor, what EVER you want to attribute to the dinner, the phone calls, and my awakenings in the last 24 hours... I think my current situation with Jamie has opened a new door of understanding, if not tolerance.

So I figure that this must be dreadfully boring to you all. I mean, how interesting is it to read someone who is soo depressing. So for the time being, I am going to do what I always do and put on my happy face to enlighten you all.

Shockwave has a new game which is shockingly similar to this game 'Word Whomp" on pogo. Its called "Text Twist" and it comes highly recommended by yours truly.

I have to thank some people out there who know who they are. They have been my support system lately and its nice to know they are there, and that they care... look I'm a poet and I didn't know it... Anyway to those three.. you know who you are, and thank you very much for your support. It means more than I can say.

Super-Tara will be back, I don't know when but we are going to work on that this weekend.. some changes will be made, and they are all personal, so I wont get into them.

What is funny in this world lately?

If someone knows... please let me know, laughing is fun... and it feels good.

Oh mr. sun, where are you?

Sadness Sucks.

I just don't feel right, and saying I feel great is getting pretty old. I am a leaning post for all those around me, and right now, those people are going to fall with me if they put their weight on me. Life is sorta bleak. I had such high hopes for this semester and they call came crashing down. I suppose it may get better in the coming semeser. The thing is that I go through depressions in the winter. I have diagnosed myself S.A.D and its not like I need drugs for it, I just have to pull myself out. Hard as it is, I am usually successful. But I must admit that this time around... I may need help. Some may say that it is psycho-sematic, but its not, it just comes on without me even being aware of it at first, and then BAM it hits.

So here I am. Feeling a deep sadness with the looming of returning home. My family is not the problem, its the rest of the world. Everything feels 10 times bigger than it normally is. Everything seems so bleak, so pointless. And I know that this will end, and super-tara will return, but for now, I would really like to crawl under a rock and die. If anyone calls for me, don't bother taking a message because at this point I just don't care.

Which isn't really true in itself. I do care. I care about the people around me. And if I didn't then I wouldn't be there for them as much as I try to be... but the core of me, just wants to be. Just wants life to be smooth sailing with a fair amount of homework and consistancy.

How dreary. I am sorry you are reading this. I just felt the need to type it out for my own eyes... and I suppose yours as well... who knows maybe you can relate.

It's been a while... how is everyone? I now know I have 3 regular readers, so I will say "everyone"

I have fabulous news, yesterday, the stretching feeling left. It doesn't normally take so long for me to unwind in Seattle, but this week - it took 3-4 days. That is a loong time. It worried me a little.

D is at a meeting, and I have the time to sit and relax... I will be going home tomorrow...

If you are a first time visitor, or perhaps a regular, sign the guesbook.. and hook me up with your thoughts, you have just spent 5 minuites reading mine :D

There is this thing I got in my email, and rather than forward it off, you all should check this out. Click here, and click what's wrong to check it out... there is something wrong with the pictures.. Turn up your speakers as they give you a hin.

I went and saw Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher with D tonight... it was good and I saw something in one of the panelists I didn't like and realized that I could see it in myself. It is weird when you realize that you wouldn't like you if you were someone else... makes me question my behaviour. Gave me something to work on though, perhaps take on a new arguementative style, or at least make a conscious effort not to do what this girl did.

I don't have much to say today... maybe I will think of something later.. for now, the couch is calling. Got a movie to watch :D

Good Morning All!

I woke up this morning to d's empty apartment, he was at work, and I was alone. For the first time in a week, there was real silence within me. There was no 'oh I have to do this today' and there was no 'is so and so okay?' There was this peace within me I haven't felt in a while. So I got up, turned on the tv, and what did I see? Real World/Road Rules Fantasy Challenge. Why is this arm of reality tv the only one I don't get sick of? It's like YAY IM IN SEATTLE I GET MTV!!! Something must be missing in my life if MTV is such an amazing release.

You know, I think it just may be funner to be a 'kid/youth' in America. You had MTV, you had Spring Break, a conglomerate of Frats and Sororities, some of the most famous schools to attend, Steve Madden, Vera Wang, and of course Tommy Hillfiger. Sure, the "Bush"es were a downfall, but Clinton was good.... but, in Canada...we had beer. Good beer too, and we got to legally buy it earlier (which essentially as d and I have figured out makes us older) we had some killer parties, and we pumped out some great musicians (in the eyes of some)

Why am I thinking about this? I think it all ties into my first blurb... Canadians love MTV because we never had it. We never had real world. We never had road fules. We never had Headbanger's Ball (which btw, I think I have some friends that would have loved it) And therefore, I think, the the missing thing in my life.. has been MTV or something of the like. Let's face it, every VJ on MuchMusic sucks. (okay so they are equal in that department.. I can't stand "Sway") But for entertainement value.. MuchMusic doesn't compare. The only thing MM has going for it? Music Videos.

Well, there is my pointless blurb. It was my first morning thought, and while it may have sucked, for all my Canadian Peeps in the house they need to know, so that we can bring MTV to CaNADA

~~~Posting from Seattle~~~
So here I am, in Seattle... get Lisa up bright and early.. and we had a lovely morning of .... sleepiness.

I got some lovely feedback regarding my little blog, someone stated that they were getting to know me better through my blog. I found that to be fascinating. I didn't realize I was writing anything of substance, but as it seems, some of my visitors are people who don't get to see/talk to me often, and I guess thats where my daily life becomes of interest.

If you have gotten to the point where Collapse is causing a personal/emotionl meltdown, I found something new for you all, its Jeopardy, and since I was there last, they revamped it... so its quite the game now.. I recommend multiplayer...

hit up www.station.sony.com for details! I found my self totally addicted to it last night.... high score of 16k (of course that was with lisa and i working together...)

Im out.. I have more important thinks to take care of right now :D

Well now.. It is now time for me to do my midterm. In fact, as I speak I am in class on a school computer. The midterm? It's on Microsoft Word. Are we excited yet?

The kicker?

I haven't even read the textbook, nor do I know what it is he wants from me. We shall see, it will all work out.

I have decided to go to school all summer... this has created contraversy in my life... as do most of my decisions.

Why is it that when I make a decision in my life, someone always has to act as if its the end of the world? (and to the person who THINKS i am talking about them, they are wrong) I am talking about people who have NOTHING to DO with my life, and yet they insist on filling me up with their continuous bullshit. Don't listen they say. Riiight. How annoying is it if you are watched everytime you wipe your ass, and then some guys like 'hey dude, your wiping your ass wrong' as if it has SOMETHING to do with him. Fuck it. Im out.

Good... Noon everyone. Today I feel a lurking anxiety. I don't exactly know why, or where it is coming from, but I feel it. Do you ever get the feeling that everything may very well be too much? I realize that the advice that I give to Lisa, I need to take myself. In fact, the advice I get from my business teachers, pertaining to business, I need to take myself.

You can't be all things to everybody.

But what if what you are to yourself and what you are to others, clashes in scheduling, and you have the heartbreaking task of decided where to go.

I have been feeling like I am a rat in a cage, but I have this dumb sounding voice 'which way go i go, which way do i go" (its from some cartoon, I think its a turtle) repeating over and over again.

Ugh. I have to write a memo. I will be back later, and hopefully I will be in a better mood.

Thanks for reading - T.

Well, since this seems to be the "online gaming corner" i have to say that I found a new boggler. And Im not even kidding.

Check out "Mind Reader" at www.shockwave.com it starts easy and within 3 minutes gets almost impossible.

Okay. Well. Um...

Yeah so I hate that fucking game. Level 9, 4 lines, and the stupid thing was going apeshit on me. I think I need to take a moment, eat some food, play some sort of relaxing game. And then go back.

Hmmm.

Regrouping is Key. Take A Moment. I feel a Fishism coming on (for those of you who know what a Fishism is, you are most likely laughing.. as are we)

Goodbye.

Fuckity Fuck Fuck Fuck. As Lisa and I have been saying for the last five minutes. Ever have one of those moments were you feel like you have just had a totem pole shoved up your ass because something soo fucked up just happened?

Well.. there we were, in the Collapse Zone. We were on level 10, we had 36 lines left... life was stressful, yet peachy. Lisa, the bomb-girl as she has been designated, was calling bombs to lower the block, I was clicking like I had a couple hits of speed and 3 gallons of espresso. LIfe, as we know it in the Collapse Zone was.. intense.

And then.. it happened.

I am sorry to say, that because I had 5 windows of IE open that I accidentally clicked.... somewhere.... other than collapse. And within seconds what did my little ears here...

GAME OVER!

Fucking lovely. Back to level one where the grass is pretty and I can paint my toes while I play the game. The zone... well... we shall see. Its round two. Bomb-Girl and Mighty Click are on their way to success... we will keep you posted.

P.S. If you are a CollapseHead as we have dubbed ourselves... Beat Level 10 with 500,000 some-odd points. I will bow to you. I want a screen shot as proof first though.

Remember the Dancing Peanut? for Planters?

I think I had a dream about him.

Alright.. Speaking of my mommy....

When I get a thought, I must go with it, especially if it is creative. So, today, having a presentation at 7, and still having to do the work for it, I had a thought, and woke up in a hurry to call Alana and share my new thought. As I ranted and rumbled on about how we should handle this presentation the other line rang.

It was the Catholic Church.

My mom, working on her second offense, has an overdue - Church Library Video. Don Bosco to be exact. He is a guy who helped kids, and here my mom is depriving the kids of the video for the kids. Why? Well, she says - "Well, I asked so and so to bring it back soo many times" as if that would have worked when I was a kid. I can see it now, Tara skips school and she says "Well, I asked so and so to take notes for me..." Uh, huh. So its her second offense because get this - mom stole a rosary from Jesus. Oh yeah. This gets good. And see the beauty of all this, is if you know my mother she is the sweetest thing. She knows this is just funny because my mom wouldn't steal (because if she did, she could'nt have lectured all 3 kids in this house about it) but while sitting in prayer and grace, she was holding the church rosary - and nonchalantly walked out with it.

This may not be funny to most, but lets put it in simplest terms.

My mom steals from the Church. Which isn't exactly true either. She "borrows' from the Church and she has always given them back. And in all reality, she will be giving the movie back tomorrow. It was just something that slipped her mind (she works alot... takes care of us... goes to the gym.. shes wonderwoman)

Well, anyway, on to other ridiculous things. (Hey Lisa, if you were a lesbian would you have sex with me) Maybe I will get hits just because I typed "Lesbian"
Queer as Folk. Anyone ever seen it (no boys I don't suspect you would watch it unless you were gay... unfortunately you have weak stomaches for the nude scenes) anyway, if you are female and for whatever reason get either Showtime in the US or Showcase in Canada... you get Queer as Folk. Its a fabulous story about gay boys and a set of lesbians (there I go again, hit maker.. yay!) its a look into the lives of gay people. They are totally out of control. I don't really have anything funny to say about it, because I don't even know that you all could relate. I could say sometihng like... if Emmett were any more fairy-like he would grow wings. But you see, that would not be relatable. So, I will leave it to see if in fact I get hits based on the Lesbians. Comment if you watch it.

Now I KNOW that if my mommy is reading this, she is not impressed with that last paragraph. Maybe I should have warned her before it... SKIP IT MOM!!!
Lookie! 6 people have been to my blog since yesterday, and that doesnt even include me!

I need coffee... we have no cream... meeee saaaaaddd........

Hi Mommy!

OH! Right.. Games. Since I am all about the games I had to share some other goodies with you all.
Shockwave has been treating us quite well lately. I checked up on some new puzzle games, and there are some frustratingly wonderful ones out there. Gem Drop is one I recommend.. once you get the hang of it its pretty dope but at the same time requires alot of strategy. And as I mentioned before, Collapse is the place to be (even if you do get a few gray hairs trying to get past level 9)

Woo Hoo! Thanks to Pat @ http://endsoftheearth.blogspot.com we officially have a guestbook, and counter to see if in fact I am the only person reading this shit.

I had some big thought to share with you all, but I have forgotten it all too soon........ I am sure it will come back to me and then I will be all about the spillage.

Today I think the world is backwards. Weekends should be for work, and weeks should be for re-lax-ation. I don't really want to begin my week. I would rather sit back, and watch the week go by, drifting in and out of consciousness. My rant last night was completely incoherant. Which is justified since I had just watched the most retarded movie, and it was 1:13 am. Oh well, I still don't have a counter on this damn thing so I don't even know if any of you are reading this shit. email me @ mp3_diva@hotmail.com if in fact you are, and give me your thoughts. Got questions? I may have answers... feel free to email that addy and ask away - unless of course I know you and you have my alternate addy... in which case do that.

All this talk about email addresses leads me to my next question. Why is it that I feel the need to have 4-5 active email accounts? I know I'm not alone out there, my bf has the same thing.. many emails for many reasons. I have my anonymous account, I have my actively used friends account, my professional account... like why is my life so separated that I feel the need to have all these different access levels??? It seems kinda OCD to me. I remember at one point I had like 8 fucking emails. What is the point of this you ask? I dunno... just a stupid form of self indulgence I figure.

Tonight, I plan on enjoying a good game of scrabble and perhaps snuggling up to the lastest Crocodile Dundee movie. Yes, that sounds REALLY retarded, but you will be glad to know that I did NOT pay to rent it. My parents did. Which of course could say alot for how I was raised? maybe. But don't read into it to far... they only like to watch movies with some entertaining value. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of entertaining. (And in my case, AI was not entertaining.. well it was.. see below for reasoning.. sorta..)

OH! I have a great thing to bitch about.. or perhaps those of you reading this could provide some insight.

What do you do, when you have tried very very hard, and still fail to find something about someone to like. What do you do when you genuinely do not like someone. I am in this situation. I do not like this person. They suck. They are very self-rightous, smart ass-y and dictator-like. And, to top that off, I have to see this person on a regular basis. I would name - names, but I have a feeling this person could be reading this... and in that event.

I really do not like you, and once I am free of my present obligation, I would prefer never to see you again.

Well. Feedback is welcomed.

I just finished watching Artificial Intelligence, and then I went to IMDB to read the comments. As it seems, anyone who says you have to have 'intelligence' to get this movie... has artificial intelligence. There were soo many goofs in the movie, the most ridiculous being the end, when the kid BLOWS out the fucking candles.. uh.. hello? When did he start breathing? And if they are building the most advanced robot ever, why would they create it so if he ate, it would fuck up his circuitry? This movie went on, and on... and on... and on.. about nothing. The concept in itself had potential... and then they decided to take some retarded route which left you going what the fuck is going on and why is it happening. There was a point when they could have ended it and it would have sat happily receiving a 6 on my movie scale.. but no, they went on, and dropped it to a 4. Dude, where is my car was more entertaining.

The one pro? the animation. But as we have seen in the past, you need more than good special effects to make a movie good.

Okay, so there is my little rant. I could have posted it on IMDB.. but all those suckers have seen it. You may have not, and I would like to save 2 hours of your life that you may never get back.

If that wasn't clear enough, I can't snowboard, so all you other people who can't snowboard, go to another mountain, you are causing me un-needed bruises. I just noticed, I have typo'd many times in the last few posts.. just use your logic, if something doesn't make sense, try to switch the first letter of a word, or just find the word that makes the sentance make sense. Right, I made that sooo much clearer. Sheesh, why bother.

Okay so why is it that life can be such a crisis, and yet a blessing all at the same time. I don't have too much to say today, other than, HOW COME YOU HAVEN"T BEATEN LEVEL TEN OF COLLAPSE YET??? I can't do it. I resign from Princess of Collapse. My friend Lisa has managed to get to level 6. Get that. I wonder if maybe its the fact that multiple clicking means multi-tasking which ultimately means time away from the Pringles Can.

Hey Les, If you reading this.. wanna go bowling?

Okay. Im done for the day. Snowboarding Hurts, Wear a Sock. I don't know what that means other than cold toes are directly related to too much room in your snowboarding boots. WAIT! Im not done yet. Snowboarding is a great sport, you all should try it, but would everyone mind not going on the same day as me? I really get fucking annoyed with skiers who decide to "slalom" infront of me, and stupid people who just learned the damn sport and spent $2000 dollars on a dope assed setup, and continue to get in my fucking way, causing a collision of sorts - me with the ground. This is unacceptable people. Next time I go snowboarding I am going to post it here, so that all you lame-ass twits who can't seem to find their 'footing' can get the fuck outta my way, because guess what? I can't find mine either.

I just got the most fabulously nerdy idea! In order to boost hits I am going to sit and talk about how wonderful the Backstreet Boys, N'sync and Britney Spears are!!! If I do that then my marketing will be done for me!

So... right. What do I have to say about these people. They are creations, and usually have little to no talent. Nevertheless, I must admit that some of my guiltiest pleasures include music from these groups. But when I am in a serious music mood, I must say, they are not on the list. Some of my cheeziest moments included such wonderful people as The Cars, N'Sync (my "gone" impression of Justin Timberlake is up for a nomination at TRL!!!) and of course who could forget M.C. Hammer. I know you all tried but lets face it... MC Hammer is here to stay (or preach, whichever gets him outta debt faster)

I realize I have been posting alot today.. Don't get to comfy, I just want to give people content.. Something to read... and should that fail, I highly recommend hitting up Shockwave.com for a good stressful game of Collapse. That game has me addicted.. and if you in an artistic mood, try InkLink. Go into intermediate rooms though - otherwise you will be stuck with children.

Alright - I'm leaving to pick up Darren know (my boyfriend) and must get prepared... stay tuned for who knows what. Maybe my life will erupt into a soap opera of sorts for you to engross yourself in!

Let us analyze my new situation. Rather than kiwibox I have my own little corner of cyber space. And of course this should be my free forum to speak my mind. Unfortunately venting here may end up in the wrong eyes and then I would end up a sad Tara.

So how do you guys feel about my template? I think its relatively pretty, with a lack of pink and purple. I realize that once again, I am talking to myself. Just babbling on about nothing because know one knows about my little corner. I could advertise! Yeah thats it! I am a marketing student, what I really should do is but the two nuts in my head together and write up a marketing plan! [looks around the room for Alana.. the marketing partner in crime] nope... shes not here. I am doomed without my other marketing half.

Okay so how do you market a blog? Perhaps you could wear one of those sandwich signs.. walk around naked underneath, screaming TARA'S CORNER DOT BLOGSPOT DOT COM!!! Unfortunately I think that sort of advertising would cause me more problems than glory.

Maybe I should send out a mass email, about how you really should come check out my boring webpage. I may eventually learn to pop links in there (not that anyone would care... I'm not that interesting.... am I?

If you want interest, when your done reading my boring first 4 entries.. fly over to Pats blog.. now there is somewhere you can find all the good shit at once. http://endsoftheearth.blogspot.com

Okay so I feel the need to try this again. I gave this whole speil on how cool this was going to be.. me boring you with my mindless communications and you reading them and then realizing that is sooo much better because my friend Pat over there has the surfing skills of a God!

Anyway... testing.. testing.. 1,2,3!

Ugh. I wish this would work. What am I doing wrong? does Anyone know. My poor blog, it is just not coming to life.
