Helio Castroneves is named Dancing with the Stars Champ

The new king of Dancing with the Stars is, Race-car driver, Helio Castroneves. He glided into the winning title after scoring a perfect 30 from the judges. His competition, Spice Girl, Melanie Brown had a great flair for dancing and also obtained a perfect score from the judging panel. In the end it was the viewers that elected Castroneves as the dancing king.

It was a shocking announcement because most people thought Brown was a shoe-in for the title. Since she was a former Spice Girl, she has been well trained in the art-of-dance. Most of the judges fully expected her to win.

Castroneves does have a great personality that can really brighten a room. He may have not been the best dancer on the show but his charm might have won him the winning title. He was clearly the crowed favorite.

In my opinion Jennie Garth was the best dancer on the show. The week she got voted off she had a better score than Marie Osmond. I must tell you my dark secret that I did not actually get a vote in for Garth. I am the reason she lost I kept the Garth from getting her title. It is my vow that next season I will put in a vote so my favorite dancer will remain in the end. Castroneves will reign this year but next year I will be voting and it will make all the difference.

Poem 1

Leaves Shaking in the wind,
Clouds hoovering over in lume,
sunny days yet to come to hearts it can mend,
The dark of day put forths our hearts internal glume,

Nothing will be bright for summers day is past,
For my heart longs for the days of youth,
the days grow quicker, my darkness grows, beauty fades fast,
tainted emotions trickeling down like sweet vermuth,

Life is a mystery only God reveals on the glory day,
Angels from heaven watching all we do and kissing our faces softly,
How many Golden rules have I forgotten and disobeyed,
No more will I be tempted by Satan for my life is costly,

Spring will be arriving soon so the sun its rays will shine,
The wind will blow a new direction and I with it,
The riches of the land will seep within my body and become mine,
The sunshine will beam from within me the light I will emit.

Poem 2

To sit and watch the acts of people,
looking at thier actions and seeking deeper,
Not satisfied with the surface knowledge,
All worshiping modern icons but not seeking the true steeple,

Life is more than just language and mind,
It is so cliche' to claim to be an origional,
society that praises lust and the rest of the deadly sins,
Everyone trying to get themselves apart from the clone all claiming the label "one of a kind,"

There once lived a true origional among us,
A life with sacrificial purity that sought to save,
the world throwing his blood onto the ground to which their feet walk on in vain,
his life kept in the hearts who seek comfort from the promise,

So who is worthy of being praised an earthly idole,
This world falls short and is darkened by the supposed lights,
NO man compairs to an untouchable Holy whos grace we seek,
The world is seeping down into the cracks of hell and the path of the earthly man is Suicidal

Black Bird

Far from home the Black Bird Flew,
Grew up and was finally ready to leave the nest,
Trying to struggle for a life that is completely new,
it thought this flight was lifes ultimate test,

Black Bird flew as far as he could,
away from all the things that reminded it of days of old,
make a new life with everything fresh it would,
The days spent in the new world began to grow lonely and cold,

The only one to confide to in the solom winter was God,
The one who comforts everything living,
Black Bird confided with his creator about the new life & what it does,
Wondering why there is not yet a feeling of joy from the new life, why God was not giving?

The unanswered prayer for happeness kept occuring,
What black bird didn't know is he just wasn't listening,
The thought of having this new life was so luring,
The obsticles of old did not disappear they began to haunt and emit through the darkness glistening,

God was speaking but it was not what Black Bird wanted to hear,
Running away doesn't make conflicts of the heart removed,
Now the guidence of why Black bird wouldn't be happy became clear,
The new life became God'a healing world to help sooth,

Eventually God helped the bird and gave it much strength,
To make decisions about the new life and put the past to rest,
Bird found his happiness in God and finally let go of the list of hurts which was great length,
Through God's encouragement and Grace Black Bird eventually found his way back to the comfort of the loving nest.

Poem 3

A touch of the hand,
makes my heart race,
through the darkness I try and reach,
For just to touch your fingertips where salvation lies,
How can I see you without light?
Guided by growing faith,
my path is blocked by earthly demons,
to difficult is this journey,
I begin to question and start to sink,
You asked me to come but don't reveal yourself to me,
Selfish thoughts of mine wonder if you are searching back,
My eyes are covered by Satan's wings of destruction,
Searching blindly through hoards of temptations,
Where have you hidden?
I have lost my way, I need your guidence! Crying out to you from my crooked path,
As I am on my knees with fear a faint light in the darkness I see,
brighter, Brighter the light becomes,
As I look up I still cannot see your face,
But you are the light and your hold my hand to help me find the way.

Eyes of salvation

Day turns into night,
and so my heart goes with it,
all the wrongs that fill my head of things i could have done right,
I feel as though my emotions and the shock of life has finally hit,

Am I perfect or do they see my faults,
There is so much that I fear in my coming days,
I work hard and focus but often I can not see the results,
All i long for is to dance in the suns illuminating rays,

This is where I find comfort in the light,
my mind is a wild cage of raging expressions,
so many dim directions and no road seems bright,
Everyone expecting a reveling of my moralistic lessons,

So many days I just want to be watched and adored,
Only when I am aware such eyes are gazing,
The admirer that beggs me to notice is my Lord,
I look at him but sometimes I cannot see his love becuase the world makes me lazy,

I want to battle and I want to fight,
Through the crowed I feel his piercing look,
The people try and keep me from seeing him and bring me into night,
I fall and trip because i cannot see it is his eyes that led me to him and it was his hand i took,

teaching me whats right and wrong and how to love,?Knowing that it is a endless war until I am with my maker up above.

Daddy's little girl

Disillusioned images fading throughout my days,
I wish you were there just to be a supporting face,
Who I am today was made stronger because of you,
Not because you were ever there for me but because of the struggles you put me through,
I am haunted by memories from the past,
Dreams of happiness that became shattered fast,
You left me without a second thought,
My emotional explosion was louder than a gunshot,
Innocence escaping through the tears rolling down my cheek,
A little hand reaches out for you but you are too weak,
The cold of your heart grows dimmer so I can’t even see,
Everything else in your life has always come before me,
If I was only enough to make you complete,
But I was never enough you wanted more than my love capacity could meet,
My life is filled with broken promises,
On your priority list you never placed me first,
Living in the shadow of what you left behind,
My confidence is evading and hopefully I one day will be able to find,
Feeling like you’re nothing to someone who means so much,
I don’t ask anything but I cry out for you to touch,
You always find other motivations for your life,
Just once I want to feel like I am important to you and not go through all this strife,
You shut me out so easily like I never meant anything,
The selfish nature you hold yourself as king,
I am here now just wanting your attention,
Maybe for once in your life I will be important enough for you to mention.
I have someone I know loves me all the time,
But I just want you to care and allow my light to shine, shine, shine

My Passion

In the past year I have gown so passionate about my religion. Like I planted a seed in my beliefs and over the years out grew the most radiant spiritual revolution. I am made new in Christ. Everyday the blood of Christ runs through my heart and I am made stronger in him. My body feels as though I have been overtaken with the essence of eternal glory. My mind is exposed to nothing but peace that is offered from a greater power. There is something supernatural when you can feel serenity in a world of organized chaos. I want to share my bursting faith with the world. The words in the Bible seem to jump off the pages and straight into my soul. Once God finds a person there is no end to the rays of light they will shine onto others and brighten the futures of so many. The work of my life is dedicated to pursuing a utopian relationship with God. Pristine is his ivory kingdom to touch it would be to experience an unfathomable dream. My mission is to one day be standing at the bottom of the lustrous gates of heaven and watch them slowly open. To be able to walk up the road to heaven that is straight and narrow. My passion is my God, and I am my God's passion. He perfected my dark fine hair, my porcelain skin, almond shaped ocean colored eyes and even down to every last freckle; I am his perfect idea of me. I owe all I am to God and I am passionate about finding out the reason he created me: my purpose, who I will touch, when I will see my God. I have found my light of God in the dark of this world and now I will walk in the radiance of his grace for the end of my days.

SEEDS and tornados

To look at my life and compare it with another one of Gods creations I would say it would resemble a tornado. There is a calm before the storm; eerie and silent. Then suddenly the rage of a level 5 twister grinds through the valley and total destruction fallows. What of the aftermath the broken homes and uprooted plants? Who will heal the scars from the storm? It is my belief that the same man who tilled the earth before the storm will pick up his hoe and start to plow in hopes of repair What if the storm comes again? The exhausted farmer will plow again and again not because he desires the crop from the land but because he loves the valley and all his sweat, blood, hopes, and dreams reside in that dust. The land will never provide the same compassion that the farmer provides, no matter how large the crop, but the farmer plows on. Much is the same of our relationship with the Lord. I grow and then get destroyed then grow all while my Lord is patient and loving. No matter how much I give back to the Lord he keeps planting the seed and nurturing it till it grows, no matter how tall. Never will I be able to provide the relationship he longs for because of my sin, but we both push on. Striving to grow in one another. From a seed a soul can be saved.

YOU MENT IT FOR EVIL, GOD MENT IT FOR GOOD

Changed- Swing

This is my song to you about the story of how I met the truth,
My heart was full of hurt and was the deepest shade of blue,
Everything was falling in and I could not see you,
By the Grace of God he cleared my painful path so I could see through,

(chorus)
Now my life has changed,
Never gonna be the same,
Now that I see you,
I swear youre too good to be true,
Everything I thought I knew,
Has been changed because,
I found you, and Im so in Love with you,


Winter changed to summer and you came clear into view,
We have been seeing eye to eye in everything we do,
I cant make the past disappear but my future is getting clear,
All the colors of my world are looking as if they are New,


(chorus)
Now my life has changed,
Never gonna be the same,
Now that I see you,
I swear youre too good to be true,
Everything I thought I knew,
Has been changed because,
I found you, and Im so in Love with you,

So here we are darlin me and you,
My eyes have never strayed away since the day I could see you,
Days will pass and things will come and go,
But with the love that we have together well get through

(chorus)
Now my life has changed,
Never gonna be the same,
Now that I see you,
I swear youre too good to be true,
Everything I thought I knew,
Has been changed because,
I found you, and Im so in Love with you,

Letter just because...

To my God,

I know that nothing I am doing is good enough because I can never be perfect, but I have the satisfaction of knowing exactly who you want me to be and where you want me to be because you are in control. Forever in your Grace and forever forgiving. I know that my desire to live with you will be my last dying hope. All that I am and all that is within me is because of everything you are. Life is a reflection of your beauty. Every person is the most beautiful creature you could have created. For if I have nothing one day, in you...I will always have something. This life is just a life....but when lived for you it is the promise of eternal bliss. I just want to be held in your arms of salvation forever! Hold me closer and Closer.......

Forever Changed and Amazed,

Daughter

RACE NOT READY

Scared of moving forward not wanting to keep looking back,
All hands pushing me to face the future,
Childhood dreams of being a vet developed into vocal communication,
What's to become of young minds let free?
Maturity aged beyond my years,
Minutes fading fast and the heart stays constant,
Relationships growing, beginning and fading,
Stopping to feel the moment pass,
Eyes closed tight so the coming plans are not seen,
Satisfied with life ever the same,
Christ chanting for a change,
Lives woven together by experiences,
Forced movement into the unknown,
Fingers slipping from your hand and I am left alone to find my way,
Obstacles coming that I am not sure I can overcome,
I see you standing at the finish line but the race has not yet begun.

Nobody Knows

Even though many people surround me I can feel so alone,
Like the only true one who knows my feelings and desires is God,
Walking and seeking with everyone caring at their leisure,
Can you hear me when I cry?
So much to offer but not enough time to show,
People take interest in another only at their convenience,
A story left untold,
With no one to listen,
The only one who will ever truly know my soul is my God, my God

Swing Song

When I was just a girl I played pretend,
That I would find a man worth playing my real life prince,
Then you walked into my life and things been better ever since,

Too good to be true with your beautiful mouth,
The way you love the Lord makes me change my route,
Finally you're here and I will always pray I will be….

(Chorus) Surrounded by your love,
I will wait for you,
All my life was spent dreaming of a man like you,
So come on baby take my hand,
Let's keep waiting together for our love to be ready again,

One day you'll capture my heart in a new way,
Nothing holding me back from being forever with you,
Life's a journey it's so good to always know I'm…

(Chorus) Surrounded by your love,
I will wait for you,
All my life was spent dreaming of a man like you,
So come on baby take my hand,
Let's keep waiting together for our love to be ready again,

Forever I will be,
I will always be,
Can't tell you how good it feels to be….

(Chorus) Surrounded by your love,
I will wait for you,
All my life was spent dreaming of a man like you,
So come on baby take my hand,
Let's keep waiting together for our love to be ready again….

Bye Song (Swing .3)

The day I walked in the door you told me your name
I just smiled and moved on with my day
After just a little time we became close friends
we never knew we'd end up like this....


(chorus)
Grew in love with my best friend,
Yes the one that was always there,
Always had a smile,
and the faith of a child,
forever you are my love and my best friend,

As time went on we slowly grew apart,
You never left my thoughts you were never far,
Whenever I needed a boost you spoke words of light,
Eventually you came back into my life,


Grew in love with my best friend,
Yes the one that was always there,
Always had a smile,
and the faith of a child,
forever you are my love and my best friend,

Never thought that our friendship would change into the love it became,
Now I will never let you out of my sight you are my love my life,
When I was little I used to dream about the man I would fall in love with
never knew it would be my ...best.....friend.....

Grew in love with my best friend,
Yes the one that was always there,
Always had a smile,
and the faith of a child,
forever you are my love and my best friend,

Help me stand Song

Mornin' comes and it's the same old day
Every new day brings the old lies with it
Keep runnin' but I really need to fly
Just need help to pick up my wings and point em to the sky

Afraid to look behind so I only look ahead
The truth is the past is your future
And if one is still broken the other wont be clear
In my alone I can hear an angel whisper in my ear…

(Chorus)

The road is long,
But you are strong ,
With me by your side
There is no reason to hide

Take my hand
I know we can take it
Cause we're gonna make it
Just take my hand
So I can Help you to stand!


This life is a journey and you go it all alone
The path I'm on is only leading me back home
My heart guides the way and my soul seeks the right
I keep walking ahead and know the direction I'm headed is Right…

Spread your wings and take to that clear sky
Don't forget to be beautiful you butterfly
Always remember that….

(Chorus)

The road is long,
But you are strong ,
With me by your side
There is no reason to hide

Take my hand
I know we can take it
Cause we're gonna make it
Just take my hand
So I can Help you to stand!

My September Song (swing 4)

Summers gone ohhhh it went by so fast
Another seasons coming soon
It gives me a whole another time to fall in love with you….

The moments finally here where we can start new,
Nothings better than being with you,
Summer lovin is so bright but I prefer autumns sweet kiss in the moonlight…

(Chorus)

You're my September song
I wait for it all year long
Can't wait to see those leaves fallin

There is nothing so beautiful and
New as my favorite time of year
When I can hear my favorite Song linger in the air..


Ohhh some people say fall is the start of things dyin,
But all I see is the possibility of my new life,
I don't care if it's cold and dreary I will always feel warm with you by my side…

The possibilities that this new season brings have no limit…
All I know is this isn't the end it's just the start…
Even when the seasons change I'll still be singing…


(Chorus)

You're my September song
I wait for it all year long
Can't wait to see those leaves fallin

There is nothing so beautiful and
New as my favorite time of year
When I can hear my September Song..

GIRLS...just want to get along

Why is it so hard to get along with other females sometimes? I know that is kind of an odd question but on occasion I have huge issues with communicating with women. I find that odd because I am of the female gender. It has always been in my nature to become friends with guys rather than girls. In my experience, I just found they were not as accepting as males. It might be because when I was growing up I was an extreme Tomboy and dressed like a jock rather than a dancer. Part of my heart just wants to understand why girls need to talk about everything. When God made me he encouraged me to have a listening ear and a soulful mouth. I tend to forget the little things that are important to girlfriends like a birthday, anniversary or an important date. Usually I am very good about remembering important dates but I do have friends that throw dramatic fits when they don't get what they want on their special day. It is the drama that surrounds some girls that makes me not want to get involved in their lives. It's those girls you love to hate on the Hollywood strip: Lohan, Hilton, Spears and Love. Women who eat and breathe drama. Those are the type of girls that I tend to ignore. There are some drama filled women that I have made friends with over the years and no matter how hard I try there is nothing I can do well enough. Any events we throw will cause an emotionally charged event in my life that I will have night-sweats about until it rolls around again the following year. Honestly, all I want it to go out and have a simple time, that includes some laughs and maybe a drink. Ever since I made the discovery that I do not thrive on drama I have made a point to keep in touch with women who simply want to be friends. There is no work involved we get together and have a great time and that's all! As one can tell from reading this I am slightly frustrated with my current situation. I don't know if you all have friends like this, they just make you so frustrated sometimes by the way they act. Why is it hard to be friends with other girls sometimes? There is enough drama and real issues occurring in today's society to pick on eachother! Women need to stick together and just have fun. Be patient and select friends that make you feel like your appreciated because you are simply fun.

Britney Spears and Louis Vuitton Battle!

Well Britney Spears has been hit one more time by Louis Vuitton! Spears lost a court battle to the fashion designer and it's going to cost her. In her recent music video "Do Something" she showed a glimpse of a pink-upholstered Vuitton dashboard. The only issue with showing the dashboard was that Spears did not ask the Vuitton permission to use his merchandise in her new video. The fashion icon immediately put a stop to the music video and began handing out fines for over $100,000 to anyone who aired it. Although, Spears was not directly charged the companies who played her videos were slapped a fine in violation of counterfeiting laws. Louis Vuitton already is struggling to keep his purses from being copied and keep the high-class image associated with the line, so Spears having an unapproved showing of it in her video just added to his troubles. Having Brittany Spears appear in front of thousands with the Vuitton line may not be his ideal spokeswoman. Currently, her video is banned and there is no word on when it will be played again. Just another day in the life of Brittany!

Here is the link to watch the video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=lb-oyK3t7tI

**Honestly, after watching this I can understand why Louis Vuitton is embarrassed to have his merchandise in it.

Technorati Profile

Throwing The Book is not a commandment

Well today I saw something life changing for my spiritual journey. I was at a local high school picking up a friend of mine after school when I saw him. He was an old man that looked the age of 90, with wrinkles for eyes, cheeks that were dropping and a smile that still charmed. He came to the window of my car and said, "I am passing out Bibles to the high school children do you know the best place to stand so I can reach the most youth?" I proceeded to explain to him the most populated areas I knew the students filtered out into and then he left carrying his box of Bibles. As I watched the old man walk away it was like looking at a beautiful picture of a man who just wanted to spread God's love for his children. He took pride in trying to pass a Bible to each student who came out. Many kids just passed him by or rejected his invitation to look into the word. The school administration even came out and instructed the old man to move further away from the campus grounds. He was successful to handing the Bible to one group of kids. While, they were walking away with the red book in hand I heard the kids laughing at the old man and suggesting, using foul language, that they didn't need the book because they attend the &$#% church every Sunday. They were mocking the thought of the book and joked about it the whole walk home. Close to my car there was another group that had been handed the red book. These kids were throwing the Bible at one another screaming, "YOU’RE GOING TO HELL NOW!!!" They were cussing and laughing about the book, while using it as a weapon. The saddest part was when I looked over and noticed the old man, with the box of Bibles in his hand, starring at the children. The look on his face was priceless and it was enough to make your soul move. I know the old man may have felt defeated, or discouraged in his walk but he did help encourage one person's walk. Never will I forget the look of the man who was just trying to share God's love. I think that is the same way God looks when he watches his people deny Christ.

**Sorry if I offended anyone with the implied language I used. It was only used to explain facts.

Sarah Jessica Parket named unsexiest star by Maxim

This year Maxim Magazine decided to pick the unsexiest women in Hollywood. They ranked Sarah Jessica Parker as the # 1 unsexy woman in Tinseltown. It is my belief that the magazine is extremely wrong in their opinion of Mrs. Parker! She is 42 and still has hard-rock abs, even after having a child, and she has been faithfully married to the same man for 10 years now. I think she is something to be admired rather than put down for something as unimportant as looks. She has been acting in productions since she was 12 years old and has consistently remained in the spotlight. It seems that her success has been over shadowed by her "so-called" unattractiveness. What or who defines what being attractive is? I personally am more attracted to people who have ambition and have positive moral values than someone with exterior beauty. If you are comparing Parker's looks to other actresses in Hollywood than it's only fair that they are in her age-bracket (40-50 years). I think she is sexier than Holly Hunter (49), Daryl Hannah (47), Madonna (49) and Courtney Love (43).

Sure, Parker may look average and not had tons of plastic surgery to enhance her beauty but there is something to be said for her natural beauty. She is the spokeswoman for the beauty line Garnier fructis. I am sure it's not by accident that the beauty line wanted to hire her. It's because she honestly looks good for being 42. Also, ever since her starring role on Sex and the City she has become somewhat of a fashion icon. Women look to her for suggestions about what defines beauty for women in our generation. She even started her own clothing line this year that promises the hottest styles for under $20 (bittensjp.com). I checked it out and am crazy about the Houndstooth Coat Black/White for only $19.98.

I am not sure what Maxim's criteria were for deciding who was the unsexiest woman in Hollywood. If they were taking looking at girls who are age 20 and comparing them to 60 year-olds, then I can see how Parker would not win against girls like Lindsay Lohan. If the criteria for their search for unsexiest women included Hollywood success, ambition, being a positive role model, icon and looks than Parker would definately not be #1 on the list.

Maxim beauty isn't just skin deep, try digging a little deeper for your superficial readers!

The Year of Carrie Underwood?

Since 2005 when Carrie Underwood was crowned the winner of American Idol she has dominated the country music world.

The focus this year was not just on her music career but also her dating life. In 2006, Underwood had a relationship with Dallas cowboys Quarterback Tony Romo.

Currently, she is reported to be gallivanting around town with Chance Crawford a star in the new hit show Gossip Girl. (http://blog.zap2it.com/gossipgirl/2007/10/ggs-chace-crawf.html)

In a BuddyTv.com article Underwood commented on her love life saying, ““Guys who would never look at me twice before might ask me out now, so I guess I have better opportunities. But when I do meet a guy, there's this 'Does he just want his picture in a magazine?' factor.” (http://www.buddytv.com/articles/american-idol/carrie-underwood-speaks-about-6296.aspx)

The world’s fascination with Underwood seems to increasing rather than slowing down. On the Google seach engine she has more than 1,400,000 articles that mention her name.

One of the big questions regarding Underwood’s music career is, will she make the move into the pop world? Her music has a modern sound and could is currently being played on the “top 40 hits” station, which typically only plays pop music.

When asked about making the switch to singing pop music Underwood said, “What could I bring to that market? I don't dance. I'm not a tummy show-er. ... I felt I fit in the country world, where I don't have to change." (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1537951/20060804/underwood__carrie.jhtml)


It seems that she will most likely remain a country music star for the duration of this year. In 2007 Carrie Underwood has erupted into diva status and has overtaken every other female country this year on the Billboards. Her humble character combined with her gorgeous looks makes her a powerhouse in the music industry. This year was truly her year to make a place for herself and it seems that she will keep spitting out hits, which will mostly likely lead to many more years of success.

long distance

Oh long distance is something that I have much history with. I am now in my second long distance relationship but this time I am in LOVE. Before he left everyone explained how we were going to break up or he would find someone better and dump me. People actually said that to my face! I was pushed into believing that it would not work and that love isn't strong enough for distance. Well so far it's almost been half a year and we are going strong. I can't say that we both don't get tired of talking on the phone, especially when it gets hot and burns your ear, but we are making it work. I have learned that I am more needy than I ever thought; always prided myself on being totally independent. The truth is I don't need him in my life I would just really love him to be there. Nights are lonely and I often feel sad but in my heart I know he is worth it. I tell you ladies there are only a few good men left and I took one of the last "GREATS" So why do we put ourselves into being subjected to long distance? We want him there so badly but he is still oceans away. The only conclusion I have found is ...love. It must be pure and unselfish, LOVE. That or I am just a sucker for a phone friend and to spend all my T-mobile minutes. Nope...I am sure it's the love one and you know what? It feels good.

The Hills

I am a huge Hills fan! It's true every Monday night you will find me waiting for the show that fills my reality hole. Last night while watching the show I saw Spencer Pratt went to meet Heidi Montage at a building with the letters SBE. As soon as I saw those letters I lit up my internet and went straight to my Google source. After a thoughtful search I located the place where Heidi is employed, which is a huge treat for any fans. Take a look at where she works: www.sbeent.com To many of you this may not matter but I finally have an address where I can write Spencer letters (addressed to Heidi) and inform him how he is a total clingy boyfriend! I cannot stand him because he represents everything I disliked about my ex-boyfriends. This may sound like a bitter rant but it honestly is. What woman isn't bitter that she dated a complete donkey that ended up playing her heart. The people I can most relate to on the show is Lo or L.C. They are the most logical and seem to be able to keep their desires of their heart and mind separate. Although, I am not as flirty as L.C. (I am taken) nor do I have as much money as she does. My point ladies is that Spencer represents all that is wrong with men today: lazy, control freak, obsessed, metro, money hungry, ego-ridden, liar and a cheat! I am sure this show does not completely represent reality but I believe it might be an accurate look at men. So many women make the same mistake that Heidi is currently making. They fall for a loser who sucks the life out of them. After, the man leaves there is nothing left but a shadow of who she once was. It should be a crime to date someone like Spencer; a crime which I was guilty of at one point in my life.

Opening Night

This is my official opening night of my journal. I am not sure where I am going with this writing except I know it will be geared toward women and what they would prefer looking at. We have to suffer too much through P.M.S., giving birth and menopause to not have web pages catered to us. Also, it has come to my attention that we think way to much about everything and this page is just another way for the female form to free her mind. I am not a feminist in any way but I do believe that there is just something so unique about the thoughts and ambitions of women that I need to explore further. Although, I have a major in Journalism I do not claim to always have perfect form. After all there is something beautiful about expressing yourself without having to worry about grammatical verbiage. This is my story and I will sing it in hopes that you will listen. Gals please post and contact me with questions or topics you want me to cover.
