I am standing here, alone in my apartment for the first time in a very, very long time. It's weird, but not quiet...

I have just started getting ready, and will soon be leaving for the trip to Lisle to grab Mario, back here to (hopefully) grab Deb, and then be off to Rochelle to see WARKULT AMERICA at The Stillroom.

I have their music blasting, and I am getting super excited about the show tonight. I just want to see my man up there on stage, looking like the hott shit he is when he is doing his thing. I mean, it doesn't hurt that I actually really like their music, or that I am their photographer and enjoy taking their pics, but...

My man is sexy.

Yeah, I felt the need to share...and if any of you want plans tonight and are west-ish of Chicago, take a trip out to check the show out and have a drink with me...they put on an amazing show that is worth the trip, trust me...I have 2 of their video's posted on my page...see for yourself...

 

Til next time, I'll be having Conversations With a Box of Hair....

Current mood:  focused
Category: Life

I will admit that I have been living life with tunnel vision for the past two months.
Besides spending time with my son, I have been busy being selfish and spending all my time with someone
that makes me really happy...with someone that I share a lot of interests and passions with, with someone
that I love to hear laugh...someone that I can't stand not being around...someone that shares my wacky sense
of humor...someone that, by the mere sight of him, makes me fall harder...someone that I am proud to have by my side...
with someone that, by his persistant messages and charm, made me fall in love with him.

Something happened this weekend that really pissed me off and embarrassed me. I am not going to get into great
detail about it, because it involved someone that I love and is very close to me, but there was a level of unacceptance
that I will not tolerate from anyone. It may have been misunderstood, but it was there, and it ruined my weekend.

Throughout this seperation and divorce between Jason and I, Cameron has always been my 1 concern. Yes I am the one that left,
but I wasn't happy, and hadn't been for a long time. It was over, plain and simple. Could I have stayed for Cameron's sake and faked
it and been miserable? Well yes, I guess I could have. But this is my life, and I finally came to the realization that I deserve
to be happy too.

I love my son unconditionally, and will always put him first. He is my favorite person on the planet, one of the only people I would
die for. I know that this seperation and divorce have been hard on him, but that is to be expected...his parents are no longer together.
But Jason and I are getting along wonderfully, and doing everything we can to make sure that Cameron is happy and taken care of,
both emotionally and physically.  In the end I am going to be happy, Jason is going to be happy, and Cameron will see that...he already
does see that. What he doesn't see are his two parents living together and being miserable, and fighting all the time.


If I ever have to deal with someone that is going to be unaccepting of Rob because they don't like the fact that I am not married
anymore, or that he isn't Jason, I will put you in your place faster than you can blink an eye. I don't have to sit here and explain how
amazing he is, or how good he treats me...meet him and you will find that out. And if this unacceptance stems from the fact that your
concern lies with Cameron, don't fucking insult me. I have my priorities straight. This marriage was my relationship...I am the one
that lived through it, and I am over it. I refuse to sit here and relive it with anyone.

I have never cared what people think of me or the decisions I make. If you do not agree with me then fine...but I will be damned
if anyone is going to give me or anyone I love an attitude about something that has nothing to do with them. It is unjustified. And for those of
you that want us to fail, or have been a thorn in our side, you can all kiss my ass. You and your jealousy doesn't matter, and is
certainly not going to be something that gets in the middle of our relationship. Oh, and a little f.y.i. to skank-ass Amanda in
Marshalltown...I am writing this to you here because you are a cowardly bitch who who won't accept messages from non-friends and is hiding out now
because I called you out...go fuck yourself...you and your 3 bastard children. You call me the "Fuck of the week"? HA...I am not the one with 3 kids who
has never been married...I am not the one who looks worn out and used from life...or the multiple guys you are having kids with. When you are
woman enough to finish our email conversation, you let me know. Then the next time I am in your shitty little town I will find you so you can say
all that shit to my face like an adult...we'll see how much you talk then.

Got it.....good.

********************************************************************************************

Ever since Guiliani stepped out of the Presidental race, I have been avoiding politics like the plague. I was happy to hear that
Clinton might be dropping out of the race, but I can't say that I am enthused about either Obama or McCain. I seriously think
that my vote will be going to Chuck Baldwin, the Independent Candidate from Florida. Although I do not fully agree with all of his stances
(abortion being the biggest disagreement), I totally agree with his stance on securing our borders and illegal immigration, cutting off
funding to the UN, and helping the United States no longer be dependent on OPEC. I think we are all disgusted by the price of gas
these days...here in IL, I am paying close to $4.20 per gallon.

I hope you all take this next election seriously, and use your right to vote wisely. Mostly everyone has been unhappy with Bush,
but if you do not use your right to vote, you have no right to complain. If you are unhappy with the major candidates, make
sure you research the Independent candidate(s), and give one of them your vote if you believe what they stands for. If enough of us
vote Independent, it will certainly make a difference.


********************************************************************************************

After all that, I am determined to end this blog on a positive note, because in all reality, I am a happy lady right now. I am looking
forward to this summer, to going back home and introducing Rob to my family and friends, and to the multitude of awesome summer shows
and movies coming up. I am also thrilled that my man will soon be moving in with me. I have also decided to really up-the-ante with my photography,
and become a well-known photographer in the Chicago music scene. Rob and I are going to start doing photography together, and I couldn't be happier about the decision. That is really what I want to do, and now that I am with someone who
shares my passion for photography, and has a killer eye for a good photo, the motivation to get out into the scene full-time is there.

The time is now...I am not getting any younger, and it is time to get myself where I need to be.

By the way, I have posted tons of pics over the last few weeks, and since I am a photo whore, go check them out.

I hope you all had an awesome long weekend.

'til next time...

I am so fed up with the political race and news being focused around the candidates attacking each other. I couldn't care less what one thinks the other is going to do, or how "liberal" the Republicans are, or how "conservative" the Democrats are.

I don't give a shit what you think so-and-so is going to do to mess up our country.

I wanna know what you are going to do to NOT mess it up.

Shame on you McCain, Romney, Obama and Clinton (*shudder in disgust). Why don't the four of you start addressing the issues you find important, the ones that you are going to focus on IF you are elected. I want to hear about illegal immigration, healthcare, and our nation's security. I want to know what the next possible President is going to do with the war in Iraq, and how they are going to improve the shambles of an education system that we have in this country.

Not only is this attacking-our-opponent behavior embarrassing, but it is a total distraction and avoidance of the issues at hand...of what these people are going to do as leaders of the United States.

Rudy Giuliani said it best when speaking to an audience in Sanford, Florida.

"My opponents are fighting each other, calling each other names. Let them do that. We're not going to call anybody names. I want Florida to send a message that the kind of candidate you want is one that can remain focused on positive goals."

Makes sense, doesn't it? So fucking do it already.

But there is no denying the perfection you all just witnessed. The first team, EVER, to make it 18 - 0 in a season.

I am really looking forward to watching them take their 4th Superbowl Win this decade in a couple weeks.

GO PATS!

I am sitting here surprised, a bit dumbfounded, nervous, and super-fucking excited. Things have been moving pretty quickly in all aspects of my life, and I think I am setting myself up for one hell of a year in 2008.

We have a new radio show for the Association of Independent Artists, which will be on BlogTalkRadio, and hosted by our Atlanta/Cleveland/Dallas rep Amy Bakari. Since this is my area of the company, I have been working with her on getting the show ready and getting submissions, etc. Amy has tons of great ideas and this is really her baby, but the collaborative efforts between the two of us have been great. We are going to feature all AIA bands, complete with music, interviews, open-mike nights for bands to plug themselves, genre-themed shows, and everything that has to do with our members and getting the word out about their music.
We have 3 shows airing this month, with the potential of running our own station in the new year.

Yeah, that's right...an online radio station.

Because of the air-time, we have decided that I will be co-hosting and also interviewing bands for air-time....Co-Producer and Co-Host.

Our first show airs in 8 days...December 11th from 11p - 12mid east/ 10 - 11p cen. times. The show will run for an hour, where we will open up the lines for bands and musicians to call in and plug their upcoming shows, CD releases, and websites. We will also be playing music from AIA bands. Here is the bulletin we are sending out....

The CO Metal Rock Goddess  Nicole An UntamedThang  tagged me, and being that she is a cool shit that wants to know more about me, I decided to play along. I need to refocus energies anyway...

Here's how you play:

Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random things, facts, habits, or goals about yourself.

At the end choose people to be tagged, listing their names and
why you chose them.

Don't forget to leave them a comment (you're it) and to read
your blog. You can't tag the person who tagged you.
Since you can't tag me back, let me know when you've posted your blog so I can see your answers.

I wrote something similar not too long back, so cut me some slack if I write something you are all well-aware of. :)

1. I tend to get very passionate about things that I love...people, activities, music...to the point where I think I am too much. It is one of the things that I think and worry about a lot.

2. I have seen the Deftones in concert easily 20 times. My record is 3x in a week.

3. I used to hate high heeled shoes, and even wore sandals to my high school prom. After I got married and had a child, I did a 180...now it is normal to see me on the dance floor or shooting pics in 3" heels.

4. When I was pregnant and my water broke, I was watching the movie "Very Bad Things" I still haven't seen the entire movie.

5. I am really having a hard time thinking of anything interesting any of you would even care to know about me...

6. I am the smallest I have been since high school....junior high even. I don't work out, I just dance a lot.

7. One of my goals is to be tattooed on Miami Ink. I do plan on getting my entire dragon back tattoo done in the next couple years.

8. I refuse to buy an automatic car...I don't care how long they've come, I like the control of shifting, and automatics are boring. I am a master multi-tasker, and that includes when I drive.

9. I always have to have microwave popcorn and yogurt in the house.

10. I plan on ruling the world some day, so you can all say you knew me back in the day.

Ok, since it took me almost 10 days to write this, I tag no one. Feel free to share anything you'd like though, I am always up for a good story.

Here's the thing...I had a great day...a great few days. You might even say I was happy, even if it is short-lived. I want to apologize if you think this blog will be a good one, because it isn't going to be for everyone. Me, yes. It was because of these feelings of content and bliss that I feel the need to rage. Happiness is something I have been failing at for awhile. So I get there, and then have to continually deal with fucking crazy people who won't shut the fuck up and stop causing drama in everyone else's life because theirs sucks so much.

To rage? Eh....

Yeah, to rage...to lay the law down when it comes to the people that I have in my life...I am done being nice to people who suck. If you ever have any intention of being an assole, or a bitch, or a drama-loving fuck face, don't even bother getting to know me. I have seriously had it with all of you waste-of-flesh losers.

And now I am doing what so many complain about and don't understand...I am laying it all out in a blog for the entire fucking world to see. This blog really isn't for most of you....it is for one, and any that, after this point, want to a) fuck me over b) wrong me in any way c) attack me for no reason

 Where you and I stand after this point does not concern me. If you think I give a shit what you think about me, you are sadly mistaken, like you have been and continue to be with so many other things.

How fucking dare you attack me for helping you. You sick of my "pep talk?" Then stop fucking bitching about the same shit and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! You sit time and time again and complain about everything under the sun that you have lost, and I listen EVERY FUCKING TIME to the same thing. And I tell you the same thing over and over and over...do something about it.

If you think the world is going to sit around and solve your problems for you, I can gaurentee I know where you will be 20 years from now...doing the same thing.

You get pissed because I am mad that you continue to stick your nose in my business after I repeately ask you not to, causing nothing but ore drama and stress on something that needs no fuel to the fire. You call yourself a good friend? Control yourself!

I am done. I have tried to help, and that makes me selfish...that I didn't come over and console you when the pet died...the same fucking day I moved out of the house...you have NO IDEA what that is like, and nor do I expect you to.

I want this drama out of my life for good. Do me a favor and stick to your word...take a break and dont keep contacting me. Fuck me over once shame on me....you don't get a second chance.

I AM DONE WITH UNNECESSARY BULLSHIT.

Things have been crazy busy around here...not all good, but whatever. Life isn't always good...but you take the good with the bad  and keep on truckin', right?

 

I am leaving for Vegas in a few hours, so I need to finish cleaning the house for our awesome friend Brian, who is coming to house-sit and stay with Cameron. I also need to finish packing and run a few errands. When I get back hopefully I will have some awesome AIA direction...there are so many things going on now that it's hard to know where to begin. :)

I hope all is well with everyone...I am sorry that life has gotten in the way of me stopping in to see how you all are. I have been thinking of you!

Oh yeah...

Have a great week friends...I will be checking in randomly, but be back on Friday.
