Today I set my desktop background on my pc at work with the image of 10,000 galaxies taken by the hubble telescope. All I can say is that it is one of the most beautiful things I have ever saw...I gasped and literally saw life. It looks almost like fine art; I swear its hypnotizing. I cannot even imagine what those galaxies are like, but we would be totally ignorant to think that there was no over living beings out of ALL those galaxies. I wonder what type of beings and animals lived or still live in them. It was very eye opening and bizarre to look at the "bigger picture" of our existence. With the size of the universe, we are but the size of a pin in comparison....

being a woman rocks !
March is Women's History Month and yesterday was International Women's Day. In honor of that, me & my girl Jeannette are going to see the sneak peak for "Secret Window" (what type of women would we be with out oogling Johnny Depp?) and then will embark on indulging in either massive amounts of ice cream from Zephyr's or fettucine alfredo at Olive Garden (Olive Garden being on my top 5 list of favorite restaurants of all time..yeah? SOOO WHAT? I'm simple to please).

u know what ?
I love the smell of rain on a spring day. It smells so crisp and new. Almost like we are being washed away of all negativity....AHHHH! Let it rain on!
don't mean to be bitter but "ms. martha" deserves worse
Truthfully, I was surprised beyond all belief when I read that Martha Stewart was found guilty on all four counts for the suspicious selling of her I-clone stocks. How ironic is it that the queen diva of home and gardens is going to be locked up?? Hee hee hee. I can't help but laugh my ass off. I honestly never liked that damn woman. Her smile is like plastered on her face 24/7 (anyone who tells me that smile is genuine is obviously on crack), her line of crap at Kmart is cheap, and have you ever seen her shows? She has absolutely no personality..seriously, a deaf mute has more pizzazz than this woman. Anyway, they say the sentence could be up to 20 years in prison. I will be shocked if they give her anything more than a year, though. I bet she's quaking in her boots right about now. Oh well. who cares. on to other things like me!!
Yesterday I saw the sneak preview of "Girl next Door". I am always winning tickets to see movies and take out friends, cousins, and of course, my sexy man. Yesterday, i took my lil cousin CJ (short for Carlitos) cuz he was dying to see this movie. Actually he’s not so small anymore. he’s a towering 5 ft 11, while I am still, despite my feeble attempts with drinking massive amounts of chocolate milk throughout my life... borderline midget. Well, the movie didn't blow too much: It was cheesy, corny, somewhat predictable. I laughed in a few parts, was totally bored in others. But it was free, so who the hell cares, right? I did See "Passions of Christ" last weekend, and it rocked, especially the cinematography. I definitely have to see it again. I also want to see that movie with Johnnie Depp "the secret window"... I think its called. Anyway, if you haven't guess yet I'm a total movie snob. I try to catch a show about once a week. Since movies are so expensive, I try to catch the Sunday matinee.
Anyway, work calls. But its Friday and I am in a good ass mood. :) Ciao

happy hump day...
It's Wednesday morning & its just one of those days that I didn't want to get up to go to work. But of course, I gotta make the doughnuts, so here I am, albeit a bit cranky...but still working. It sucks being an adult at times, don't it ?
On a another note, I finally started shopping around for a home loan for a 3 flat that I am hoping to buy.... the whole mortgage process is sooo fucken confusing ! All these different terms, fees, assumptions. I can't tell my up from down anymore. I have about 10 mortgage brokers calling me trying to sell me their loans and most of them want to sell me adjustable rates, which I just am NOT comfortable with. I rather have it fixed and not have to worry about the interest rates climbing anytime in the near future (even though the initial interest rate would be higher than the ARM). Buying a home is such a huge step for me and truthfully, I am terrified to make the wrong decision and FUCK up my financial future. I am planning on going to a few banks too to see what they offer me. My credit rocks, though I dont make much $$ and don't have a huge downpayment. Actually, some brokers are telling me to finance the whole price of the property. Im so confused. BLAH! whats a girl to do ?

yeah!! for Rosie O'Donnell
I know it's kinda old news that Rosie O'Donnel got hitched to her long time girlfriend last week. But I just really am so glad that people are finally speaking up for their rights as human beings. So glad in fact that I hope gay couples all over the nation start taking the law into their own hands. I really do not see what the big deal is with them marrying anyway...Its no ones business but the couples and the government should have no say in who should get married or not. After all, government and religion are supposed to be separate entities anyway, are they not? Some people say that being gay is not natural and that gay people are faking, are socialized, or formed throughout time and not inherently there since birth. But truthfully every living species has gay and lesbians in them. There are gay dogs, cats, elephants, lions, etc. etc. Try telling these animals that its not natural...that they have been bred any differently or that being gay was taught to them. On the contrary, being gay is the most natural thing for them in the world...almost like eating or sleeping.
To all the gay folks out there: I say go for it. If it makes you happy, sleep with whomever you want, love whomever you want, and of course...marry anyone you damn well please. FUCK BUSH AND ALL THE POLITICIANS WHO TELL YOU OTHERWISE.
off the dome
We are trapped in a world
of pain and suffering
mishaps and mayhems
broken families
with no fathers
crying mothers
asking why?
Tons of sex & drugs
Hardcore thugs
Throwing war signs on the corner
government officials lying
little children dying
on the street
being slain before our eyes
symbolizing our own demise
So many broken souls
with nothing to eat
Can it be the end?
there is no love to calm it all away
Instead we work
the daily grind of bones
leaving us empty and alone
looking to the sky for guidance
To the riddle dubbed life
we got so many problems
and are stuck in the middle
of limbo and hell
and if you can’t tell
We are losing the battle
Living in a time of hypocrisy
Is this what life is supposed to be?
Could it be the subliminal participation?
Of you, you, and yes me?
