Been busy, but not. Really need that day job.

Sushi Rocks! Just had it for lunch...YUM!!!

I am in the middle of reading three books. I suppose I should attempt to finish one at a time before starting a new one. I was reading Deception Point, but have lost interest. I'll pick it up again soon. Then I started reading The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love by recommendation. I was going to read it on my plane ride back from Chicago to Dallas, but as I was roaming around the airport I saw a book called The Rule of Four. Read the back and it looked interesting so I bought it. So far so good. I'll finish all of them soon...I hope!

I miss wakingNorman and my CD's. ARGH!!! Last sunday was fun for Billy's birthday. The guys got up and did Love Rears then Stuck in a Stare...I wanted to cry! They make such great music together. Everyone will soon get their shit straight and the band will be back stronger then ever...or will they? Time will tell.

Okay, need to get ready for work.

I want to thank all the people at Thule Air Base for another great time. A shout out goes to all those who I got to see again and the new people that I got to meet.

Who's the True You?

The True You

You want your girlfriend or boyfriend to be more relaxed, calm, and composed.

With respect to money, you spend as little as possible.

You think good luck doesn't exist - reality is built on practicalities.

The hidden side of your personality tends to be methodical in your ways - with trouble adapting to the rules of society.

You have a tendency to overdo things, but basically you value your friendships highly.

When it comes to finding a romantic partner, you base your search on information from your friends.

Who's the True You?

Me and My Big Mouth

Don't really know what I was thinking. Just trying to be a friend and opened my big mouth. Maybe what I said was true and that's why our other friend is mad about the comment. I know my friend is only looking out for me and I would NEVER betray my friend's trust. I feel ill...=(

By the way, if you look at the weather to the right it is TOTALLY OFF! I wonder if dynaweather.com is working. The temp is off by at least 40 degrees. I wish it was in the 50's. I will be in cooler weather in less than a week...back up to Greenland and this time, 24 hour daylight!

Your Seduction Style: The Natural

You don't really try to seduce people... it just seems to happen. Fun loving and free spirited, you bring out the inner child in people. You are spontaneous, sincere, and unpretentious - a hard combo to find! People drop their guard around you, and find themselves falling fast.

BITCHOLOGY

When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch.
When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, they call me a bitch.

Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart.
It means I live my life MY way.
It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.

When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am defined as a bitch.

The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish. It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be.

So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won't succeed.

And if that makes me a bitch, so be it. I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.

B - Babe
I - In
T - Total
C - Control of
H - Herself

B = Beautiful
I = Intelligent
T = Talented
C = Charming
H = Hell of a Woman

B = Beautiful
I = Individual
T = That
C = Can
H = Handle anything

"If you can't do something right, get a woman to do it."

Have a great day!!!
And always remember what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!!!!

10 Things You Wish You Knew When You Were in High School
1) It's okay to be sociable and hang out after school.
2) Sports is not a bad thing.
3) Don't take Spanish class for granted because you have an easy teacher.
4) McDonald's was not only for the "cool kids".
5) I should have auditioned for IDC and PomPons.
6) I should have applied for the college of my choice(but I do NOT regret UIUC!).
7) Having a boyfriend is okay.
8) Curly permed hair is not all that it's cracked up to be.
9) It's okay not to be part of the popular crowd. Once you get to college, these people you thought were untouchable are actually down to earth and real.
10) Buy your prom dress, don't get it made by some lady who specializes in mass wedding dresses...ugh!

Random Thought

Just a random thought, but it's sad when you go to church and they have to remind you before mass starts to turn off your cellphones and pagers. Do you think you are really that important that you can't remember to turn those things off in church, at the movies, in a meeting and someone else needs to remind you?

We Belong Together

Miss Mariah is coming back with a vengance. Did anyone catch her on the MTV Movie Awards? I love that song We Belong Together. It's a song EVERYONE can relate to.

We Belong Together by Mariah Carey

Verse 1
I didn’t mean it when I said
I didn’t love you so
I should have held on tight
I never should have let you go
I didn’t know nothing,
I was stupid, I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I couldn’t have fathomed
I would ever be without your love
Never imagined I’d be sitting
Here beside myself
Guess I didn’t know you
Guess I didn’t know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt

Pre-Chorus 1
The feeling that I’m feeling
Now that I don’t hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
Cause I don’t have a choice
Oh what I wouldn’t give
To have you lying by my side
Right here cause baby

Chorus 1
When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby baby
We belong together

Verse 2
I can’t sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack’s on the radio
Singing to me “If You Think You’re Lonely Now”
Wait a minute this is too deep
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial tryin’ to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
“I Only Think Of You” and it’s breakin’ my heart
I’m tryin’ to keep it together but I’m falling apart

Pre-Chorus 2
I’m feeling all out of my element
Throwing things, crying tryin’
To figure out where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
Ain’t even half of what I’m feeling inside
I need you, need you back in my life baby

Chorus 2
When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby baby
We belong together

Outro
When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together
Who am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby baby
We belong together

Live Music

Since working with the band and in the music industry I've been introduced to alot of unknown or at least not-as-popular or mainstream bands. Last night my boys joined our new front man on stage and they opened for Bob Schneider. He used to front a popular Austin band called the Scabs. I was introduced to the music by another amazing musician so I was excited to see that my boys were opening up for him. What a following this man has. And what a coinkadink that I get introduced to an artist one month and the next my boys end up opening up for him. Needless to say, the show was amazing. My boys rocked out and Bob was awesome! Go over and take a listen and check out his cool a$$ site!

Love is...

Love is patient and kind.
It is not jealous or boastful.
It is not arrogant or rude.

Love does not insist on its own way.
It is not irritable or resentful.
It rejoices in the right.

Love bears all things,
Believes all things,
Hopes all things,
Endures all things.

Cannonball

I haven't posted in a while so I guess I'm just catching up. Have you heard of Damien Rice? Well, our new lead singer covers his song Cannonball and it's a good one. Here are the lyrics...go to www.damienrice.com to check out some live footage.

Cannonball by Damien Rice

there’s still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
there’s still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
it’s still a little hard to say what's going on

there’s still a little bit of your ghost your witness
there’s still a little bit of your face i haven't kissed
you step a little closer each day
that i can’t say what's going on

stones taught me to fly
love taught me to lie
life, it taught me to die
so it's not hard to fall
when you float like a cannonball

there’s still a little bit of your song in my ear
there’s still a little bit of your words i long to hear
you step a little closer to me
so close that i can't see what's going on

stones taught me to fly
love, it taught me to lie
life taught me to die
so it's not hard to fall
when you float like a cannon..
stones taught me to fly
love taught me to cry
so come on courage
teach me to be shy
'cause it's not hard to fall
and i don't wanna scare her
it's not hard to fall
and i don't wanna lose
it's not hard to grow
when you know that you just don't know

True Friendship

Are you tired of all those sissy Friendship poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that really speaks to true friendship:

When you are sad - I will help get you drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.
When you are blue - I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
When you smile - I will know you finally got laid.
When you are scared - I will rag on you about it every chance I get.
When you are worried - I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and remind you to quit whining.
When you are confused - I will use little words.
When you are sick - Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.
When you fall - I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.
This is my oath ... I pledge it till the end.
Why? You may ask. Because you are my friend.

Remember: A good friend will help you move. A really good friend will help you move a body. Let me know if I ever need to bring a shovel.

To all the Good Apples

Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just take the rotten apples from the grounds that aren't as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Now Men....Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

I love all my apples and grapes!

Dreams

As a "Thank You" to our lead singer, we gave him a frame with the wakingNorman discs, including the two albums and our music video. We also found a perfect quote for him that I want to share with all of you.

"Nothing is as real as a dream.
The world can change around you,
but your dream will not.
Responsibilities need not erase it.
Duties need not obscure it.
Because the dream is within you,
no one can take it away."

Those Were The Times....

"Those Were the Times" is a song that always brings back memories from college and the good times spent there. That song also applies to the ride with wakingNorman.

Today is my lead singer's last gig with wakingNorman. It's going to be a sad show. He is burned out and must give up the dream for now. The band won't be the same without his voice. The memories will always be there though and that will always be fun.

The rest of the guys are moving on with our new lead. Saw them all play last night and as much as I hate to admit it, they were happy and I wanted to cry because it was so good to see them happy. They haven't had a spark like that in a long time and as much as I hate to see the band go on without our current lead, this is what needs to happen.

21 Clues a Woman Should Call it a Night...

21 CLUES A WOMAN SHOULD CALL IT A NIGHT...

1. I have absolutely no idea where my purse is.

2. I believe that dancing with my arms overhead and wiggling my butt while yelling WOO-HOO is truly the sexiest dance move around.

3. I've suddenly decided I want to kick someone's ass and honestly believe I could do it too.

4. In my last trip to "pee" I realize I now look more like Tammy Faye Baker than the goddess I was just four hours ago.

5 . I drop my 3:00 a.m. burrito on the floor (which I'm eating even though I'm not the least bit hungry),pick it up and carry on eating it.

6. I start crying and telling everyone I see that I love them sooooo much.

7. There are less than three hours before I'm due to start work.

10 . The urge to take off articles of clothing, stand on a table and sing or dance becomes strangely overwhelming.

11. My eyes just don't seem to want to stay open on their own so I keep them half closed and think it looks exotically sexy.

12. I've suddenly taken up smoking and became really good at it.

13. I yell at the bartender, who (I think) cheated me by giving me just lemonade, but that's just because I can no longer taste the gin.

15. I start every conversation with a booming, DON'T take this the WRONG WAY but..."

16. I fail to notice that the toilet lid's down when I sit on it.

17. My hugs begin to resemble wrestling take-down moves.

18. I'm tired so I just sit on the floor (wherever I happen to be standing)and take a quick nap.

19. I begin leaving the buttons open on my button fly pants to cut down on the time I'm in the bathroom away from my drink.

21. I start believing that everyone in the room wants to see my boobs.

What Age Do You Act?

This is funny because I took the quiz and I act my actual age. Weird because I feel like I act younger.

You Are 29 Years Old

29 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

How Normal Are You?

55% normal, is that a good thing?

You Are 55% Normal (Somewhat Normal)

While some of your behavior is quite normal... Other things you do are downright strange You've got a little of your freak going on But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself

How Normal Are You?

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Another one for you for insight on me...

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Although my birthday was months ago, thought this was interesting...

Your Birthdate: February 6

A birthday on the 6th of the month adds a tone of responsibility, helpfulness, and understanding to your natural inclinations. Those born on the sixth are more apt to be open and honest with everyone, and more caring about family and friends, too. This is a number associated with responsibility and caring - this birthday lends a degree of concern for others.

All I have been is a friend. I guess I'm really NOT "just one of the guys."

Went to Florida last week to visit mom and the family. My girl Mikey came down with me and we had a chance to go snorkling in Fort Lauderdale and hang out at a swanky hotel/bar in South Beach. While chillin' in South Beach saw P-Diddy roll by in a coral blue Ferarri. Out famous person sighting for the weekend. Got to hang with the family and played mahjong every night.

Oh and my girl Ashley wanted me to post our work adventures from Friday. She was sooooo funny and relxed, if you know what I mean. Told her not to do that stuff before work and she said that's why she did it 3 hours earlier. Must have been some good stuff! It was slow at work but alot of fun.

That's all the excitement for now.

Every moment, thank God.

Lose/Lose

When I actually start to manage I apparently give off the impression that I'm a bitch. While I feel if I don't "manage," I'm not doing my job. I'm just making sure everyone is one big happy. F*&k friendships. Okay, not all of them, just one in particular.

What is Your True Hidden Power?

Your Hidden Power Is Water

You have a rather calm soul, but when tempted
will get pissed off at those who bug you. You
do whatever you can in your powers to help
those of your allies and have a okay taste for
human kind, but you find them rather annoying

This one I find very interesting...

What Lies Behind Your Eyes?

In your eyes, people see shards of ice
everywhere... You are cold and distant, pushing
away people that love you and truely care for
you! You want to be able to reach out and love
them but... You can't for some reason... You're
just too.... You :P Underneath that cold
exterior lies a warm, happy soul that wants to
let loose and have fun! Your sanctuary would
probably be anywhere up high where you can look
down on life below you, like the roof of an
apartment building... Your eyes resemble a
saddened, crestfallen person seeking out
attention, but doesn't know how to handle it.
However, you do find comfort from your friends,
they're always there for you, and they know the
REAL you :) Even though you do seem rather
cold, you can be very protective over something
you truely believe in or love. Let go of that
"tough" rep and just be you! It's
impossible to live life without some fun and
love ^-^

Aquarians....

A fellow Aquarian sent this to me from astrology.com. I know it's not our time anymore, but for my fellow Aquarians, I figured I would also pass this on:



Aquarius: Karmic Life Lessons

Aquarius is the most progressive Sign of the Zodiac; ruled by Uranus, the Planet of Rebellion, Aquarius is never satisfied with the status quo and is always forward-thinking, finding creative, innovative ways to improve things. Its other ruling Planet, Saturn, lends it the hardworking sensibility needed to turn those ideas into tangible, concrete results. Those born under the Aquarian influence are known for their quick minds, their magnetism and their social conscience; Aquarians are always the first to espouse viewpoints that favor the oppressed. They also make great and loyal friends and love a party or a gathering that allows them to mix and mingle with all kinds of people. Trouble for an Aquarius occurs on a more personal or private level. While totally at home in a crowd, Aquarius doesn't do so well one-on-one and can actually come across as cool, aloof or indifferent to anyone trying to gain its personalized, intimate attention. Why does Aquarius shy away from intimate contact? In truth, Aquarians tend to be shy and lacking in confidence; that cold demeanor comes not from a cold heart but from a basic sense of insecurity.

Uranus possesses a coolly androgynous energy; that, plus its rebellious tendencies, contribute to Aquarius's uncertain grasp of its own identity. Neither overwhelmingly feminine or masculine and with unpredictable impulses coming seemingly from nowhere, the uncertainty is understandable. Originality is never comfortable, especially under Saturn's more conventional rule, and Aquarius is a true original. However, this same originality can devolve into perverse eccentricity; Aquarius may try to be different simply for the sake of being different. This is an empty, pointless pursuit; eccentricity isn't an identity in itself. Aquarius must try to learn the reasons behind the impulses: What interests foster the humanitarian urge or the desire for progress? The answers to that question may provide Aquarius with the key to its inner self.

Being so forward-thinking may be another reason Aquarius can seem so aloof; this Sign finds it difficult to remain grounded in the present for long. It may actually consider lovemaking and other forms of one-on-one relating to be akin to procrastinating. During slow, intimate moments, Aquarius may feel more and more restless by the moment, wishing it could stop wasting time relating and get back to the workshop (literal or figurative) where it can continue to invent, innovate, create! This restlessness can come across to others as tactless or rude, two of the last things this people-loving Sign would want to be. Aquarius must develop a certain level of comfort with its own ambiguity in order to be truly comfortable with other people, to be able to relate to others as individuals.

Aquarius may also need to harness its rebellious urges before it can truly understand itself. Learning to separate rebellion for its own sake from rebellion intended for revolution is key; learning the value of rules and traditions may help a great deal. Aquarius can look to Taurus in this regard, as Taurus places the same value on tradition that Aquarius places on rebellion. Aquarius can look to warm-hearted Leo to learn the joys of caring for another person in a close, intimate way; Scorpio can teach Aquarius not to fear depth of personal connection.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my birthday! How cool is it that my birthday is on Superbowl Sunday?! I will be celebrating with my peeps at a local hang out.

Yesterday I went to see Gavin DeGraw at the Lakewood Theater. HOT, TALENTED and YUMMMMMMYYYY!!! If you get a chance to see him live, you must! The show was great, the live piano made me want to cry. It was a sold out show and Billy hooked it up. THANK YOU BILLY! We even got a chance to meet him! Great marketing tactic, if you buy a piece of merch you got a wristband to meet him after the show. More about that in a bit. Back to the show. His opener was Michael Tolcher. He was good. Lots of fun. But Gavin was just WOW! He did everything from Chariot and a couple of covers including Marvin Gaye's Let's Get it On...that was just YUM!



Anyway, so we are in line and finally get up to meet him. His birthday was on Friday so of course we had to mention that he shares the same birthday as Julie (HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO BOTH OF YOU!). I told him since it's after midnight it was officially my birthday. We both got birthday hugs from Gavin!!!! Unfortunately I depended on the idiot security guy to attempt to take our picture with my camera. Retard didn't know how to use it and after three attempts, we had to give up because we were holding up the line. I should have just taken the pic of Julie, Gavin and Jackie, then had one of them take a pic of me and him, but I wasn't even thinking. Before I walked away I did slip him a wN business card and told him to check out the band. He said "Yeah, I'll definitely do that Rosie"...he said my name!!!! As I walked away I turned and opened my camera and got a shot of him and looked at the security guy and gave him a dirty look...IDIOT! All in all, great show! He's playing again tonight....maybe I should stalk him! Just kidding.

Update on my life

Things have been pretty busy since coming back from Greenland. I finished up my internship at TSG, just need to have my "exit" interview/meeting. I have been promoted within the band as their personal/tour/show manager. I am leaving for Vegas in a couple of days to help a friend out at the Shot Show. Still busy working at Kirby's. Still trying to find a "day" job. Uhm....I'm sure there's other things going on and I can't remember. Anyway, that's the update on me. Will try to be better about posting (funny, I think I said that around this time last year). Gotta do laundry. Busy, busy, busy.

Beautiful Soul

Saw this guy on TRL and heard his song on the radio. How adorable is Jesse McCartney!?!?! His latest song is called "Beautiful Soul." It's on my fave list at the moment. He's only 17!

"Beautiful Soul" lyrics:

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

I know that you are something special
To you I'd be always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I want to chase
You're the one I want to hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Your beautiful soul, yeah

You might need time to think it over
But I'm just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind if you give me the chance
I will never make you cry, c'mon let's try

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I want to chase
You're the one I want to hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Am I crazy for wanting you?
Baby do you think you could want me too?
I don't wanna waste your time
Do you see things the way I do?
I just want to know that you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I want to chase
You're the one I want to hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I want to chase
You're the one I want to hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Your beautiful soul, yeah

Oh, yeah, your beautiful soul, yeah

Hello from the Top of the World

Happy New Year everyone! I am here at Thule Air Base in Greenland. As expected it is cold and dark. Not to double post, I am attaching the link to the wakingNorman blog and you can read about our adventures. We are on dial-up so it takes forever to post. Hope everyone had a great New Year and here's to a wonderful 2005.
