This is a very special dedication to my Mom. I was talking to her tonight. She was describing to me about the earthquake, which despite all the people that told me about it yesterday, it still didn't register. So in case you didn't hear about it, it is bad, I won't bore you with details, you can look it up for yourself. It is obvious that you have the internet.
But back to my mom. I was telling her oh, ya, I have a friend in the navy, I think he is Norfolk, VA. He posted something along the lines of "It's just an earthquake folks, nothing was damaged." But I think the only thing my mom heard was "I have a friend in the Navy" cause the response I got from her was. "Ohh so where did you meet this guy." I laughed and said, "I used to work with him."
Well what I got out of this, is when I tell her one day the I do have a boyfriend, I think she is going to accept the idea 100%. I can't wait for the day that I get to tell my parents that I have found that someone special.
Even if my mom doesn't read my post, which I am pretty sure she doesn't. Its a computer thing, if you knew my mom you would understand. I just wanted to say thank you.
You can dry your tears now, cause I know there are some of my readers that are only slightly more emotional than I am.
Where ever you are my "TED" show yourself. I will make every effort in the world to be close to you.

New Season
I am so excited that the new season of project runway has started up. I am even more excited that I can watch it on my BoxeeBox.
It has been a rough week already as far as work goes, but I don't really want to bore all of you with the woes and details of my job.
I have decided that I need to make more of an initiative to find someone special. I have been scouring the internet looking for a local hunk to take me out and get me drunk. Okay not really (well the drunk part anyway). I am spending all this time looking for someone special online, yet I sit in my tiny ass apartment and only dream. Get your self out there Kris I scream to myself on the inside. However, there is this one guy I have been talking to on the internet for a couple of years now. I think I am going to make a point to head to that side of the state and meet him in person. So if you are reading the T. expect the doorbell to ring sometime soon.
So other then that, I am just about living a ho hum boring life. Time to change it up. If for some reason I go quiet on facebook, my blog, text messaging, don't worry about me, I have initiated an escape plan to the south. If in case of an emergency you will have to meet me in paradise, sucking down a margarita. yumm. Oh wait this isn't Red Robin.
Peace everyone, see you in paradise.

Slow down
Many times before I have posted on my blog about taking the time to see what is beyond your typical perception. This blog posting is no exception. I read an article today about a man who played a violin in a subway station for an hour. http://www.omgsoysauce.com/15230/slow-down-read-this-through/ After about 45 minutes many people stopped for mere moments to listen to him play, and hurried on their way to catch back up to their ever pressing schedule. Most people did not even stop for a moment, just kept walking. Mind you that in this hour time period in New York City subway thousands of people walked by the man playing a violin. The man was a famous violin player. His last concert brought in $100 per seat. and he was playing one of the best pieces of music ever written, yet it seamed that no one took time out of there busy schedule to listen. After 45 min. he made 32 dollars. After an hour passed buy he stopped playing. No one applaud, didn't seam as if anyone even noticed him playing.
The interesting thing about the article that was touched on, but not elaborated on was the kids. Many young children wanted to stop and listen to the music, all the while being pushed to hurry up by their mother or father. The kids would lock their attention to the beauty and although they were being pushed they kept their heads turned toward the musician. Looks to me as if the children are still so young and innocent, and don't really have any concept of keeping a busy schedule.
I challenge you, my faithful readers to take more time to enjoy the world around you. An easy way would be to leave for work 1/2 hour early, giving yourself time to pull off into a park and take a stroll. If you see a vendor performing in the street, take a minute to focus all your attention on that person and what he/she is doing. After doing that, don't panic and run off, as if what you just did made you late. If you are late, look your boss in the eye, and apologize for taking time out of your busy schedule to appreciate the things that are truly important in your life. Okay don't do that, you might get fired, that's why I said to leave a half hour early.
I will try and follow my own advice, and if you feel like it, post on my facebook page or on the blog to let me know how you took a couple of moments out of your busy day. Oh wait you did, you are reading my blog. Thanks so much.

Smurf
Well today all and all was a really good day. I woke up without the alarm ringing in my ear, saying wake up, you are going to be late for work. I got up just in time to listen to a wonderful thunderstorm. After just laying there in bed for a couple hours vegetating I decided to get up and do something. I went to the bank, cashed my check, went to breakfast. I decided that I didn't want to just go home and do nothing why I was waiting for the rain to clear, so I decided to go to the antique mall.
I found this most perfect, awesome, decorative ball. I don't know what it was about it, but I just had to have it. It only had a 2.00 price tag on it. So that gave me an idea. I am going to decorate part of my apartment, using the ball as my inspiration. Well I got to the check out, and because I was juggling it around in my hand, I wore the ink off of the price tag, so they wouldn't sell it. That kind of ruined the mood. So instead of going home I spent the rest of the morning at the antique malls in the town south of here.
I finally got home, the rain stopped, spent the rest of the day putting my car back together. Finished that, and it still almost drives straight. I then decided to go see the smurf movie. It was smurftastic. There was a huge cast, and probably half of them were gay. LOL. How great is that. Got Neal Patrick Harris, and that guy from Project Runway. The movie was a little "The Devil Wears Prada" which is fine with me, cause I love that movie.
Now I am home relaxing and waiting on my pizza to be delivered. Logged onto google. I guess Lucille Ball would have been 100 today. Happy Birthday to her. if you click on the google icon the first thing that comes up is how she was a Gay rights activist. How cool is that.
Well that is all I got for now. It was a great day.
