First off... I know I’ve been really sporadic with my posts and also I haven’t kept up with my Thursday Tunes or Things I Love Fridays…. You may not have noticed if you actually have a life... but whatever. I’ve been super busy with school, stress, family and a little bit of everything else. Plus I think chemistry has sucked out all my brain power, leaving barely enough left to form coherent thought let alone write a blog post. I have been posting on the Silent Sundays but that’s only because it doesn’t require a lot of effort other than linking the picture from my flickr account and writing a sentence or two about it. YAY for low amount of effort! Anyhow… onto today’s subject……… FASHION! Now I am going to preface this post by saying that I really don’t know SHIT about fashion. My daily routine consists of a pair of flared dark wash jeans, white puma’s, a tank top (various colors for variety) and a yoga hoodie. Occasionally I switch it up with a collegiate sweater…. Or possibly a ...

So…. It’s Tuesday and that means it’s………….. brought to you by Motherhood Truth! For this week’s zombie discussion, I’d like to get real about zombie’s and the approaching zombie apocalypse. Ask yourself this… do you realistically see yourself surviving? Forget all your ass kicking fantasies and everything you have learned from zombie movies.   Cuz I’m gonna break it down for you in regards to my chances for survival …and how if things were to go AWOL right now… I don’t know that I’d survive. I was thinking about this on the bus this morning, as I pondered whether the rider in the seat in front of me was a zombie........... Hey… it’s not my fault… he had red rimmed eyes and every time he looked my way, he had this glassy “haunted” look about him….. and yes I realize it was 6:15 in the morning and it’s quite possible to explain this phenomenon by lack of sleep and coffee… but whatever… take that logic out of here.. he was a zombie, I know it! Anyhow…. So I ...

this week in Cheesy Bloggers .. it's all about cleaning up your act. below is how I feel about chores....... Every week it’s the same thing…. You can’t deny it. You can’t avoid it… It always seems to sneak up on you … and before you know it … you’re standing face to face with………….. A DIRTY BATHROOM!!! Dirty bathrooms are the bain of my existence…. Mostly because no matter what you do … they are ALWAYS dirty… even right after you clean them, they are dirty again the first time someone uses the toilet, sink, and tub… whatever. If you have kids in your house… especially boy kids ..or live with boys (or a man, which.. let’s be honest.. are really like boys in respect to the bathroom)… then you probably have pee on your toilet somewhere other than on the INSIDE of the toilet. This is one of the grossest things I’ve ever experienced… it’s just so wrong. As a girl growing up in a household mostly comprised of girls the toilet was always clean… cuz girls ar...

So it’s midterms…  and so I’m a little agitated.. you can’t tell can you? But seriously…. I am wicked stressed. Add to that.. the fact that I typed a whole fucking blog post in blogger and clicked something and it all went *poof*… like a fucking genie.. except less awesome cuz there was no wishing involved. So now I have to remember what the fuck I was writing about. I know I wrote a bunch of shit about things I was pissed off about… and considering I’m now especially pissed off…. It just makes logical sense. Fucking blogger… aren’t you supposed to auotsave  that shit.. didn’t you used to anyway? wtf is up with that shit.. this is the 2 nd time you’ve gone all nazi on me and nuked my shit without even giving me the option first… my blog post just disappears into some nether world… probably a world where kittens and puppies are slayed. So now I’m typing this on MS Word 2010 … so there…. Take THAT blogger. Budgers… ok.. so I know we all learned how...

so everybody loves a good zombie movie.... well... everyone who doesn't get scared or grossed out by people biting chunks of other peoples necks or trying to eat their brains... but this blog isn't for THOSE people.. those weird, strange, unusual people.... it's for the rad, awesome, fun, cool people like ME who LOVE zombie movies! I love them SO much... that I'm willing to review my top 5 zombie movies... just for you! Yes, I'm taking time out of my busy schedule to do something nice for you. You can thank me now. It's ok, I'll wait. .... .... ok.... so onto the list... now this list is in NO particular order. Partly cuz I'm indecisive... and partly cuz I'm lazy as fuck and can't be bothered to add that one tiny detail. Dawn of the Dead (1978) This movie is simply classic .. it embodies all the greatness that is zombie movies. Gore, violence and a high death ratio.... all of which this movie has in spades. It's before th...

so Alexandra from The Tsaritsa is doing a contest regarding your passion ... and I have been somewhat struggling lately on what to write about since most of my brain juices are being used to focus on school.... which is really right where it should be right now .. sorry blogworld. I have a few passions... friends, school, music, animals.... but the one that is my own that I really consider to be the passion of my life, is photography. I have loved photography ever since I picked up my mums camera when I was a teenager. My mum was always taking pictures when we were kids... I have my entire childhood and every moment captured on film... and that's part of what I love about photography... it can be an artistic way to express yourself and your views on the world.. or it can be a way to document the memories and moments of your life. I remember taking a photography class in high school... I was really excited at the idea of developing my own photo's and bringing my unique view...
