How much is my blog?

Wow, thats a little bit of a tough one... My blog mostly consists of personal thoughts, memos and things like that. I do not think it'd be worth a whole lot. It is mostly sentimental value for myself.

I began my blog in late 07 when my dad was diagnosed with cancer. I wanted to to keep it a health blog, but it soon turned out to be more of an online journal than anything. That was primarily due to the fact that him being sick really bothered me, very close with my dad.

If I had to put a price on my blog, I suppose for the year it would be worth $500. It is priceless to me, and honestly I would not want to sell it because it gives me an outlet to express my thoughts, my feelings and views.

I suppose the only people (company) that would possibly pay for my views would be a survey company, and hell, they may not even like my opinion then! lol!

In any case, I came across the question from: Dragon Blogger

I read his blog, very professional if you ask me. I'd like to create another blog keeping it to one niche and make it look like his, very nice I truly was impressed.

Oh well, I do advertise on my blog now and again, but I think I'll have to say 'no' to selling it. Unless someone offers me several million just for the onions, then maybe... Maybe someday, but not today :)

So I'm not perfect, so what??

Hello hello!

Found this interesting article on the front of Yahoo!. It was about Kim Kardashian, who btw is a very lovely lady! The article was about a picture that was released before it was photoshopped! Here it is:

Before is on the left, after on the right.

Oh the horror!!

Not really, I actually agree with her. She told Complex magazine this statement:

"But you know what, who cares!" she continues. "So what: I have a little cellulite. What curvy girl doesn't!?"

That is true to fact! She stood up for the fact that she was not perfect! And she handled it like a professional! Instead of blowing up and losing her mind over it, she simply made that statement. And man, is it true! I should know, I'm curvy myself!

Any case, I also wanted to point out how photo-shopping images totally skews our vision of reality and how women 'should' look! Check this out:

So I'll start from the 'cellulite issue'. Notice on the left, you can clearly see the little 'pudge' of her leg plus what looks like a birth mark up on her thigh. Her skin is also darker as well. Notice on the right? Lightened skin and tight legs, wow! What a change! But even that small change is enough to throw people off, men and women, about how they should look.

For my next part, view the arm. The small open area between the inner elbow and her chest is clearly smaller on the left than on the right. They open it up more to depict a smaller waist-line and bigger firmer breasts. Again! Another skewed vision!

Lastly, I noticed a little change, very minor on the face. Though she already has a slim face and nice cheekbones, it looked as if they made it even thinner and flattened the ear a little. Overall, the picture on the right is tailored to perfection. To be a perfect view of what a woman should look like.

Our society is a visual one. Example? We like the way a certain dish is presented to us at a restaurant; we tend to return to that restaurant, also on the taste. A guy sees a pretty girl on the street, he is visually attracted to her. It is how we operate as a society.

Granted, some women do have flawless bodies, not perfect however. If we were perfect, I can guarantee you photoshop would not exist!

Change is good! Even in WoW!

Alright now, I am a HUGE fan of World of Warcraft, I mean I play several characters on there. I enjoy the questing, the auction house, the instances- all that jazz.

WoW, of course, is a production Blizzard- Who, and I quote, has put out excellent games throughout the years! From Starcraft to Diablo to Warcraft. I have always been a fan and they have never disappointed!

Well, now all that ass kissing aside; I wanted to highlight on a particular item that has caught my eye many a times on the main WoW login screen. Y'know, the screen you see before you hit play? If not, look below (Exhibit A):

That screen, it varies now and again each time you double click your icon. On this particular screen, I want you to take a look at the ad regarding "Character Re-Customization". Now, I stared at this particular ad for several days, and I thought to myself; 'You know, that is actually a nice way of saying "Sex Change"! But why on earth wouldn't they just put, "Sex Change"?? Such as below (Exihibit B):

Well of course because of all the 'innocent' little kiddies that play the game and what not. However! Is this not much more easier to say?? I do agree it is blunt, but what are you doing when you preform the "Character Re-customization"? Duh! You're CHANGING your SEX!

Granted, many players of Warcraft would never in their life get a sex change, not stabbing at those who do, hey you are your own person so don't dog me on that! However, you will not hesitate to change your toon's gender now will you?

Lvl 70 Warlock: "Yeah, I'm tired of being a dude. Whoa! I can change my sex and have boobs and a pussy?! Hell yeah!"

Ten levels later after the Warlock hits 80....

Lvl 80 Warlock: "So the boobs are too heavy and I miss my dick. I know! I'll go back to being a dude!"

Know what kind of feeling I get when I see this screen? "Hey! It's OK if I want to become a dude! I can just go and get new parts!"

Thank you Blizzard. Thank you for giving us the encouragement and 'balls' to want to change our sex should we feel necessary to do so. No matter what the outcome may be afterward, the message stands clear:

"It's OK to change your sex!"

2009 and a SAD 2008

Wow, the new year came so fast it seems! Thank god, the end of 2008 was CRAP! Let me elaborate why.

So I had left my full time job at the local hospital pharmacy to open a small business right? Wrong! Everything that could go wrong went completely wrong! I don't feel like going into detail, so below is a bulleted list of what happened:

• Invested half my retirment into my business
• Invested the rest into stocks
• Stock market fell - lost ALL my money
• Business failed - lost ALL my investment
• Could not find a FT job (hospital would not take me back)
• Did part time work - never made enough to cover the bills
• Lost my truck
• Lost my house
• Lost about 43lbs over all.

Yup! That is exactly what happened! What a shit story right?! Anyway, that was from October to January 09. After January however, things started to look up. I began to research where I went wrong with my business, the stock market was inevitable I suppose, I'll have to find how to get that back.

Anyway, I currently have two part time jobs that pay well so I am able to make the bills. My husband and I are currently in a spacious apartment- besides the fact we lost our home and our transportation, however we now walk to the store which really isn't that far at all.

I did revamp my business and opened a Virtual Assistant business now. I work Freelance mostly among the two PT jobs I have. So things are working out, I am tired much of the time since I am on the computer almost 24/7 with the exception of sleep ;).

Yeah, the end of 2008 sucked ass! But this year is looking much better, I have to thank everyone that helped us survive that crappy year. My parents, my sisters, Thanks Angel, Adela & Ashley! Even though Angel hates me right now, I suppose I would hate me too. But I am going to pay back your credit card debt, sorry I ran them up.

Anyway, that was the end of 08, can you see why I didn't write very much at all? What a noob! Thanks!
