Hello all! Time to write an entry although I must admit I have shared 2 bottles of Raspberry Saki tonight with friends so I might be slightly off in my thought process. :-)
I would like to pick a relevant and highly controversial topic to focus on this evening; however I am unfortunately not quite equipped to tackle such a topic at the moment. For the record, I had intended to discuss my viewpoint on infidelity.
Rather than going into such a deep topic, I will tell you how I wound up in this Saki altered state of mind! This evening I visited a friend of mine that is a world traveler. He just happens to be in town for a few days and is heading to London tomorrow. He and I and my friend Samantha all went for sushi to catch up and get a little buzz. I have to admit, it is somewhat humbling to sit and talk to a person that has worked extensively in the Aerodynamics field for military projects. It is not like I am having dinner with a friend that waits tables at IHOP if you get my drift. It is a whole different slice of the American pie and I must say... damn I wish I had pursued college when I had the most oppurtune time to do so.
Today I also spoke with a different friend about a web tv program he has in mind for development. I find this project interesting and I have expressed my enthusiasm to host this web-cast. We kicked around marketing ideas and I think that everything is a new and vital learning experience towards personal growth. Just exploring different marketing techniques, approaches and of course content of a new and exciting project is very interesting to me.
Aside from the things listed above, I helped my dear friend Samantha find some new outfits by being her stylist on a shopping trip today. I also visited another female friend and we went on a wild goose chase applying for jobs that are tragically apparently not suited for us.
I also tried some diet pills today for the first time that are wildly popular, but did not seem to ease my appetite. They did however, make me sweat like a wild hog! Damn my deodorant sucks! If I continue eating three meals a day like this..I will be as big as a house by summer! I suppose all of the sushi and Saki tonight probably didn't help.. well there is always tomorrow:-)
I want to say, I am shamefully following American Idol this season on the sly. I have become a fan of Crystal Bowersox and her performance tonight was moving. I missed it of course, but thank god for YouTube! "People Get Ready" was very powerful. I just thought I would throw that in as I bid you all goodnight from my couch in my living room...here in lovely Las Vegas!

1st Entry on My late father's birthday..if he had lived he would be 51yrs old today! Happy Birthday Dad!
Hello, to all and welcome to my blog. I would start out by introducing myself..saying something witty, clever and coy; however I am not in the mood tonight. I wonder sometimes how it is possible that women survive the loss of their children and overcome life threatening illnesses. There is a strength that comes from deep within. The most powerful gift we have to give is love. So, how do you go on, when you have lost people that at one point were your entire world? I suppose the answer to that question is..we just go on with a hole in our hearts the size of Texas.
Usually on this occasion every year I go out to the graveyard and say prayer. It is a tradition since he died back in June of 1993. I did not make it out today, not for lack of wanting to, but because I really didn't feel the intense urge to rush out to his headstone and celebrate his very merry unbirthday today. I can almost promise that I will most likely go tomorrow though, as soon as the guilt sets in. My father was the most incredible man I have ever known. Not because he was extremely intelligent, not because he was an over achiever or a pillar of society. He was my hero in every way as a young girl and that is because he loved and protected me with his life. There was nothing more that I wanted than just to have him safe and strong. He was loving and soulful and taught me a sincere love that is precious to me..a love I extend to my own son.
Off of that topic, I am still trying to figure out how I will structure my entries on this page. So tonight, I will just mention a few things about how my night went and leave it at that. I spent the last portion of the day today helping my best friend Samantha. It isn't that she wouldn't survive without my help, trust me she has a huge family! It is more that I wanted to be there for her. Amidst the pressures of getting ready to move and running her household, I want to be there for her to lean on. I made her family dinner and helped her clean her house. She doesn't exactly realize that sometimes it helps me feel useful even more than she even needs me. My goal was to cheer her up. I think I did achieve that.
I will end this entry now and I will make an attempt to write something much more profound tomorrow night!
