So let me take the time now to inform you of what's been happening! First, I published Girl Nevermore, my dark contemporary YA book. You can get it on Kindle, Amazon Paperback, and B&N Paperback. And it got some amazingly fabulous reviews from YA Author Robyn Jones, Bookworm Brandee, and Brandi Breathes Books.

I have mixed emotions about this book. I adore this book, these characters, and the story, but it's a very hard-to-discuss topic.

I have to say that, because I am one… But I also think they are actually awesome. Editors tend to know a lot more about language than the average bear. They are intelligent, thoughtful people who approach writing with a very analytical eye. They are not, however, magical unicorns.

Some authors have done it numerous times, with some successes and some failures. Others have tried to get it right, but have ended up missing the mark.

It's very good advice, but I'm abandoning it for my latest endeavor. Before you gasp, I will say that I do not recommend this for new writers.

The letter "Obamacare has potential, deserves a chance to work" (Nov.23) seems to conveniently overlook the multitude of plans and amendments put forth by Republican legislators which were dismissed outright by Obama, Reid, and Pelosi without even a consideration.

WhenOne EVENING seminar (two hours)
Presenter Geoff Bartlett
Self-publishing is becoming a popular option for writers, especially when it can be hard to get your foot in the door with mainstream publishers. Self-publishing a book is a useful strategy for professionals or business owners who want to write a book based on their professional experience – a book can often be a credible marketing tool or "calling card". It is also a suitable option for some non-fiction books.
Bestselling thriller author, Matthew Reilly, and the hugely successful Sandra Cabot – author of The Liver Cleansing Diet – both started off as self-publishers. They were both picked up by major publishing houses soon after.
This seminar is presented by Geoff Bartlett and will help you determine if self-publishing is right for you.
This seminar focuses on self-publishing printed books. If you would like to find out more about self-publishing ebooks, check out our seminar How to Create and Sell Your Ebook. There isn't enough time to do justice to both topics properly in one seminar so we hold separate seminars to cover print and digital books.

The diner was unusually quiet that evening, but that was just a perk for the solitary RED Medic.
He sat alone at a booth, staring out the window as snowflakes gently drifted to the ground, hardly sticking at all. He sipped at his steaming cup of coffee, his eyelids slowly growing heavier and heavier.
He liked this Canadian town. It was quiet, not too far from Coldfront, and generally filled with pleasant folk. Plus, the coffee was good at this diner. Maybe not everything else, but… Friedrich only came for the coffee anyway.
It was good to get away for a while… get away from all the chaos at the base that the other men tended to stir up. When Demoman was particularly more drunk than usual, Friedrich took it as a sign to leave the base. He would always start asking questions, getting invasive… Friedrich was in no mood for such things.
He wouldn't mind a little bit of company at the diner if someone showed up, though- but, in all likelihood, there wouldn't be anyone there who would talk to him. And he was okay with that, too.

The sheet complete with the first 3 signatures was bought from a user on Kittyradio.com around 2005ish.

As I get more into digital the 20Gb drive on my iMac is looking way too small!
I've been looking at Maxtor, LaCie an Iomega 160Gb external firewire drives at around 140 (I can remember when a 100Mb disc array cost 80,000!)
Who out there uses what? Any recommendations for hardware and supplier very welcome.
I have a LaCie 120 GB external drive. At present its only used as PS scratch disc (and keeping a spare copy of my system), but have had no probs.
I have a LaCie d2 Firewire drive (60GB). They are very solid (metal enclosure) and it has been totally reliable so far... and it's faster than my Mac's built in drive!
I bought mine from www.macwarehouse.co.uk.
If you have firewire ports then the choice is limited compared to PC users with USB 2.0 however I found a good work around for using cheap internal IDE PC drives, CD/DVD writers etc.
You can but an external enclosure for around 40.00. It comes with firewire or USB 2.0 and all the required electronics for conversion built in but effectively they allow you to turn any internal IDE drive into an external firewire/USB 2.0 drive..
I bought mine for 45.00 and then bought an internal IDE DVD/CD rewriter that writes to both + and - versions of DVD... The drive is equivalent to the Sony + and - rewriter but cost only 100.00 so in effect I now have an external DVD/CD rewriter for less than 150.00. At the time the equivalent ready made firewire drive would have cost closer to 400.00..
The enclosure will also accept internal IDE hard drives. You could get an enclosure and buy a 160GB IDE hard drive to fit in it cheaper than an equivalent 80GB external firewire drive.
Software isn't a problem either, it works just like any external drive and best of all, you don't need to load any drivers as Mac OSX works very happily with this set up...
Just type external enclosures into a search engine to find one or try a computer fair as I did.
I intend to get another couple soon along with a couple of cheap IDE drives to upgrade my storage capacity...
I am looking for an external HD,Is this any good?
I bought 4x Toshiba 320Gb external HDDs in May last year, I've now just had the third of them fail on me, all of them out of warranty. Toshiba offers no support for HDDs and refers you to the retailer, PC World don't want to know cos they're out of warranty. Just hope the Maxtors I've replaced them with don't give me the same grief.
I had mine for over a year Col, that's the problem! Last year it was a LaCie that failed on me, but the Porsche design LaCie's seem to have a problem with cooling, as I found out too late.
They're not all horribly slow - there's always eSATA external drives.

The North American Free Trade Agreement's impact on the trinational environment remains controversial.
Regions / Latin America & Caribbean
Despite the obvious importance of Mexico, current U.S. policy is fragmented, often contradictory, and lacks a clear strategy or focus.
The certification process is resented in Latin America and elsewhere as a unilateral, sometimes arbitrary and hypocritical exercise by the world's largest consumer of illegal drugs.
Shaping new international rules for labor rights, environmental protection, gender equity, minority rights, sustainable development, and other social goals is a formidable political challenge in view of the forces promoting profit-above-all trade and investment policies.
Since the mid-1980s, there has been a dramatic increase in the magnitude of international flows of portfolio investment (PI), especially from countries in the North to emerging market economies across the South.
The 20-year-old U.S. moratorium on sales of advanced military equipment to Latin America was successful in preventing a high-tech arms race in the region.
Although violence is often blamed on the drug trade, the roots of violence run much deeper. A multiplicity of actors create a veritable kaleidoscope of violence.
The foundation of Peruvian democracy was crumbling when political neophyte Alberto Fujimori, a former university professor of Japanese descent, was elected president in 1990.
During the course of the cold war, U.S. policy toward Latin America was shaped by the steadfast belief that the region's militaries were our strongest and most dependable allies.
U.S.-Nicaraguan relations have been rocky ever since the end of the U.S.-sponsored war against the Sandinista government.

Belated Truths… PART 1
1.) When i was 4 years old a stole a Superman toy and a Power Rangers toy from my babysitter Cindy. There was no point to it either because shortly after i lost the Superman toy outside and i lost interest in the Power Rangers one. Sorry Cindy… and tell your monkeys i said, "Hi." P.S.: For those of you who don't know, my old babysitter Cindy has two monkeys now; its awesome!
2.) I cheated on almost all of my tests in the 3rd grade… i'm sorry Mrs.Whitmore, but i had no idea what you were teaching us!
3.) I have never seen most of the old mob/gang/drug dealer movies that are now regarded as classics… but use most of their famous lines like, " You come to me on the day of my daughter's wedding…," just to get a laugh some times from others. And when i say, " Say hello to my little friend," and then proceed with what i call an imitation of me shooting a high powered machine gun, and then someone else proceeds in asking me something like, "And do you remember the other part in Scarface where he blah blah blah bla bla blah," instead of me just admitting that i haven't seen it; I'll go, "Yeah… that was the best and… stuff!!?!?!?"
4.) Sometimes if I am afraid of the dark for some reason, whether it was a scary movie i just watched or my mind deciding to go a-wall, i will turn down all the sound on my TV and use the picture as a night light. Mainly because i don't have a blankey or teddy bear to snuggley wuggley withy-poo! (Do i ever think about what i write before i write it… geez!)
5.) My friend Max is gonna LOVE this!!! But I farted almost every day in almost every one of my classes through out all of high school!!! I just got so good at it that people didn't notice most of the time. I was always like, "I'm just going across the room to get a tissue… don't mind me!" And then i would get up and proceed with delivering silent death amongst the whole room! They never saw it coming! And if it was a fart on a colossus scale, people would be like, "OH MY GOD, WHO THE FUCK FARTED? IT SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING WENT IN A TRASH CAN, DIED, WAS TAKEN TO A DUMP, DROPPED OFF, EATEN UP BY A GIANT, SHAT BACK OUT AGAIN NOW IN THE FORM OF EXPLOSIVE AND MIGHTY TURDS AND THEN LEFT TO ROT IN ANOTHER DUMP JUST OUTSIDE OF DETROIT!" They never suspected it to be me… they always blamed it on the nerdy fat kid who sat at the opposite side of the class as to where the fart originated from. So sorry to every one i almost sent to the hospital… I'm just and extremely gassy person.
Turkey Day…
Do you think that turkeys know that they all get killed around the same time of the year?
Has the message ever passed down through the heritage of the turkey culture? Like if the father turkey sat down one day to tell his turkey son, " Son, you can be as disrespectful and inconsiderate as you want. You can yell and call mama turkey a whore… but by the time you start to realize what a good turkey family you have; what a good turkey home you live in; what good turkey clothes are on your back… you'll come to tell me and your whore mama turkey that your sorry and you didn't mean to be such a disrespecting asshole and how you love us so dearly. Just as you finally come to your senses, you'll come bursting in to find that your turkey father and whore of a turkey mother are not in their turkey room. You will be destroyed, lost; like all hope is gone! Then your vengeful search for your turkey parents will continue… you will find yourself walking past a weis or giant food store one day. And when you look at the glass you will be consumed in pain and sorrow even more as you will see a picture on a sticker. And on that sticker will be your poor father turkey and the turkey whore. Turkey son… your daddy and whore will be dead… dead, gone and on a platter that is lost forever in the pits of heaven. You'll either say good riddance or go into a spiraling and crippling depression son! And no matter what your reaction is son, i'll know that i died a happy man… a happy turkey man. And do you know why i would of died happy son… do ya? Its because the last thought i had that made me content as they plucked me dry was…
At least that little bastard turkey son of mine will be next!
Good night!"
Do Turkeys train and prepare themselves their entire lives to be served with a side of yams?
Ya think that turkeys would of caught on by now that they don't get to live too long after the month of November. That once those leaves start-a-fallin that they will too.
That leaves me to believe that turkeys were the first animals to train themselves to die. That means that turkeys are the terrorists of the animal world, accept for the fact that their death doesn't kill anyone else but themselves. With this belief of mine… i also have to conclude that it is part of the turkey's religion to die, they want it to happen.
There for.. since i am against nobody or anything's beliefs, i say that it is important to honor the turkey's religion by killing them every November and eating them because they taste so damn good with a side of gravy!
Happy Turkey Day World… Happy Turkey Day Indeed!
Unrelated to events prior! Volume 1
I like animal cracker… yes that is right i said it; i like animal crackers and there is nothing you can do about it! I'm sorry that i had to be the edgy one to finally come out and say it… but it is an issue that can't be ignored! It is just as important as the war in other countries or health care or the economy or hurricanes or even your girlfriend's bra size. I know some people like frosted, some like plain and some would even go as far as to state that they like chocolate animal crackers… well i say that it doesn't matter! We should all like every kind of animal cracker equally. Even if you don't have a stance on the animal cracker issue, that doesn't mean that you should hate them all together.
I say that we should band together, as one, and fight to make the world a better place. One! Where it doesn't matter what animal crackers you like. A world where animal crackers can run free and frolic in icing covered fields and swim in streams of milk; 1% or whole, thats up to you! A world where we aren't constantly shadowed by the smugness of Animal Cracker Hating Douche Bags! Where we can express our feelings, say what we mean and rise up to live another day in a society that sees animal crackers as an everyday norm!
I'm telling you this to inspire you, guide you, to light a steaming fire under your ass to get you the hell up on your feet and fight for what is right and just and true! So you can run out into the world and shout what is on your mind and be content with what you said…
I tell you this because I Believe In Animal Crackers…

History of City's Parks Now Available
History of City's Parks
August 18, 2008
- Each park, greenway, and recreation center in the City of Knoxville has a unique history and the City of Knoxville Parks and Recreation Department has recently compiled information that tells the story about most of these areas.
This information is available online at
. Over the next several years, commemorative plaques will be placed in parks throughout the city to educate the community about the history and heritage behind our parks, greenways, and recreation centers.
Our community has a rich cultural history, said Joe Walsh, Director of Knoxville Parks and Recreation. Celebrating and remembering Knoxvilles history is important. Each of us can learn from our communitys leaders of the past.
Various histories, newspapers, encyclopedias, and City Council records were among the resources used to compile the historical information.
Katie Mathews, a Parks and Recreation intern, researched the history on every City park, greenway and recreation facility for this project. Mathews is a graduate student at the University of Tennessee.

Fitness Challenge 2014 - Post 2/Week 2
My first week on the fitness challenge wasn't terrible but it could have been much better.
My nutrition was pretty good (except one cheat day – I'll get into that later) but the workouts were not nearly as often as they should have been. However, I worked many more hours than I normally do (yeah, yeah, excuses but you work a 14 hour day, a 17 hour day and then go to the hospital to visit a friend in ICU in the middle of the night…shit really happened last week). I only got in two good workouts: one at my home gym and the other at Green Fitness Studios with the owner of The Body Art BK, John O'Mahoney, who I had worked with at Mark Fisher Fitness.
I decided against the Crossfit for now once I realized John was in my 'hood as he is much more focused on integrity of form over how many reps you do. That's what makes me nervous about Crossfit. I have a bad back and weak knees so have to make sure my squats are perfect and I'm lifting correctly or I could be in major trouble. So basically, working out with him is like doing Crossfit (many of the same exercises in circuit training form: deadlifts, pushups, burpees, planks, etc) but focused on making each rep truly kickass.
I kept to my diet pretty well. I gave myself one cheat day which was decided when I left the ICU at 8am Friday morning and immediately decided I deserved a bagel after being up for 24 hours. Not only a bagel but a muffin too dammit! Au Bon Pain in the hospital is bad. I stuffed those in my gullet and passed out in a carb-induced comatose state. Waking around 2pm, I walked to the bodega and hoped for a Cuban sandwich. No such luck so settled on a philly and grabbed a six-pack of IPA. Cheat Day in full effect!
I headed back to hospital to check on my friend (who is doing much better!) and after leaving, met up with friends for drinks. Beer, beer and more beer! Plus a jager shot because hospitals make me feel like I'm getting sick. Jager is my Airborne. Halfway through our evening, we stopped at Benny's Burritos where I loaded up on a chicken quesadilla with guac and potent margaritas. CHEAT DAY!!!
We ended back up in my 'hood where I met up with a long-lost Tinder date from the challenge I never met up with. By then I was drunk and full of fatty grub. I was probably glazed over with one eye open staring at him as I swigged from my beer. Wonder why I never heard from him after that? CHEAAST DAAAEEAYYY!
I was DRUNK. I got home and proceeded to text the guy I had really liked who had to move to Asia for work. He responded right away (umm because it was like 4pm Saturday there) to my very articulate "Hi. I miss you" with a few sweet messages. I woke in a little puddle of drool on my pillow with phone firmly in hand. Cheeaaaaat Daaaay…Three words: F*ck Cheat Day.
From the pain in my head to the pain in my stomach, I realized cheat day is the devil. I am one of those people who doesn't do anything half-way. You say I get a cheat day? Well modaforka, you better believe I will cheat the hell outta that cheat day! No one can cheat better than me! How am I competitive about being bad? There is something wrong with me I suspect…
New lesson: cheat MEAL, not cheat DAY. Once a week if I want wings or pizza or a couple heavy beers, fine. But a whole day to f*ck up? I obviously cannot handle that because I cannot have nice things.
Love and CHEAT MEAL!
PS. Updated photos…I don't weigh myself because once again, I don't do halfway on anything so I'll get obsessive and wonder WHY DID I GAIN 2lbs since yesterday!!! AGGGHHH! Best I just rely on feeling good and how clothing fits.
Better lighting than the gym…plus there was someone in there and didn't want to look like a creepy selfie-whore…

Fitness Challenge 2014 - Post 1
Good afternoon beautiful babies!
The Fitness Challenge officially started this past Saturday March 1st.
Not the best day to start but I ate well all day (basically, it's The Grilled Chicken and Avocado diet. Threw in some brown rice and black beans on occasion too). Saturday night, I met up with friends for live music and stuck to Jameson and soda plus a couple light beers. Got home and shoveled some more black beans and avocado in my face hole. Maybe not so good to drink whiskey (even with soda) or eat so late but it's better than the usual heavy beers and greasy pizza slices! Besides whiskey is shown to prevent cancer and just be totally awesome!
Sunday I went to the bodega and grabbed the usual good grub: chicken breast, broccoli, eggs, etc. Had an omelet for lunch followed by baked chicken breast and broccoli.
Monday, I hit the gym in my building with the 7 Minute Workout App on my phone ready to go. I started with a quick warmup and some stretches to open up and completed the first 7-minute set of 12 body weight exercises. I followed that up with some kettlebell and arm work, followed by side-step planks and another 7-minute set. I ended with about 10-15 minutes of pilates. Less than an hour in the gym and today I feel like I've been beat up…in a good way.
My simple workout:
Kettlebell deadlifts (40kg)
Side-step planks (regular and side planks are in the 7-minute workouts)
Dumbell curls
Machine bench presses
Triceps press
Pilates Mini-Workout
I took the following before photos (not sticking out stomach or sucking in, and not doing that sad Before face. Also, no Instagram filters were involved to make me look worse or umm better). Make sure to avert your children's eyes. No one likes to show bad photos of themselves but here we go!
And here's a map of where all the food and beer have settled in and created a happy home:
No, it's not terrible but LOTS of room for improvement there folks. My pants and bikinis have NOT been happy with me.
Here's my ideal shape: Stacy Keibler
I can totally do this!
Tomorrow is my introduction Crossfit class. I've done some Crossfit before but it's been awhile. Let's see how it goes!
Love and extreme ab soreness

A New Challenge and Where to Fat-ass it in NYC
After the Tinder Challenge and the departure of the guy, I'm feeling a bit lost so I've decided to give myself a new challenge. This one is about personal growth and focusing on myself. I have not been watching my diet at all, drinking too much, and not working out enough. I feel like a fat schlub and it's time to take action. I've decided to start the 2014 Fitness Challenge!
Let's do this!!
Starting tomorrow, March 1, 2014, I will be embarking on a two-month fitness and nutrition challenge (to jumpstart a better lifestyle in general) What does this mean?
- I will watch what I eat: low-carb, high protein, lots of fresh fruit and veggies, low alcohol (Ugh) plus one cheat day a week. (Hey, otherwise I might go insane if I can't get a slice or good beer once in awhile).
- I will be active every day. Whether it's just a quick jog around a couple blocks or 15 minutes of Pilates. This will be anchored by Crossfit classes and pilates.
- I'll use MyFitnessPal to monitor all my food choices.
- I'm attending an intro Crossfit class next Wednesday and will supplement classes with my building's gym and some Pilates classes once in awhile to keep my back/core in good health.
- I can enjoy alcoholic drinks a couple nights a week but it must be good choices and not overdone. Example: substituting 2 glasses of red wine for beers.
Most importantly, this means that today is the last day before I embark on this challenge. Therefore, I'm going to eat anything I want today!! Below are some of my favorite foods and drinks (most of them terrible for me) around the city (mostly Brooklyn)
Dough donuts – You are able to get these at many coffee shops around the city now but the best is if you can get to their Bed-Stuy location for the super-fresh, still warm doughy deliciousness. Classic glazed and Cinnamon-sugar are my favorites (I'm a purist) but the Café Au Lait is also great and they offer Chocolate, Passion Fruit and Hibiscus flavors among others as well.
Healthy Kitchen's Hummus and Warm Pita bread – I just get this delivered to my door. Best hummus I've ever had and the pita bread is soft, fluffy and warm.
Buffalo Wings – I have an addiction to buffalo wings. This will most likely be what I cheat with on cheat day. My favorites in the city so far? Mugs Ale House on Bedford Ave. My wings must be well-sauced, just the right amount of heat, and creamy delicious bleu cheese. I should have to use at least 3 napkins for my hands.
Five Napkin Burger – Their happy hour goes from 4-7pm Monday-Friday and I love their veggie burger sliders (comes with thousand island sauce and butter pickles. Yum!) They also have regular sliders and pretty good wings as well (for 50 cents each!) their beers are half off and they usually have my favorite: Southern Tier 2xIPA. I shall miss this place!
Calexico – This is the best Mexican, hands down, in NYC (Rosa Mexicano and Dos Caminos compete well but are more expensive). I love their Rolled Quesadillas (usually get the Mushroom version) and guacamole.
Love the logo
Pizza Margarita – Just grab a slice at most any place in the Lower East Side. Also, mozzarella sticks. They are pretty hard to mess up so just order from any pizza delivery joint.
Uncle Willie's Frozen Coffee – Williamsburg's Skinny Dennis has the best frozen coffee cocktails made with bourbon, brandy, and coffee liquer.
Hell yeah, that's my shit!
Tater tots – Anywhere. I love tater tots but you can get them with cheese sauce at 983 Living Room in Bushwick.
So those are the places you will be able to find me on cheat days! You better believe I will be getting wings and a couple IPAs before the day is out!
Ok, no more of this kind of "working out"…
Love & Later, Fatty!

Deep Conversations…Body Hair Edition
Girl 1: "I'm growing out my down-there hair"
Girl 2: "Why the hell would you do that?"
Girl 1: "Well not full-on 70's bush, I'm just over the whole looking like a prepubescent girl. It's just an understated triangle: a little puff for the muff, a soul-patch for the snatch, if you will."
You're welcome.

How to Wallow SGDW Style
There are some times in life where you just need to wallow, throw a pity-party, and Eeyore it up. Here's the way to wallow the way we do here at SGDW.
Ugh, I need a Brazilian…but what's the point…
1. Sleep in…until at least noon. You may wake up earlier but squint out the window, scratch your bum and roll back over and stay there until noon.
2. Turn your Pandora or Spotify to Ray LaMontagne radio
3. Watch movies that show love is often difficult and crappy. I like a double header of Blue Valentine (added bonus of Gosling) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Whatever you do, stay far away from anything Nicolas Sparks (that means you, The Notebook-Gosling!)
We are going to be madly in love and then end up hating each other. yay!
4. Open first bottle of wine after you finish your coffee.
F*ck it. Just use the same cup.
5. Take a break to look in the mirror and tug at your fat rolls or examine blemishes, cellulite, and eye bags.
6. Finally decide to get out of the house. Don't bother with showering, just swipe the old makeup from under your eyes, brush hair, and slather on deodorant. Pull on leggings, your favorite old nubby, fraying sweater, and floppy hat. Sunglasses are helpful.
You can pretty much just look to Britney Spears for style inspiration on Pity-party days
7. Make sure to keep the music going on your iPhone as you head to the subway. Don't ruin the wallowing vibe.
8. Smack the saxophone out of the busker's hands who is playing Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World. Then take his money and laugh maniacally as you run through the station. Ok, kidding about this, I just imagined that as I heard the busker wailing the other day. No one wants to hear that song on Wallowpalooza!
Even if it's a kid. Mwhahahahaha!
9. Find dive bar with happy hour prices all night. If you don't like whiskey, now is the time to learn to like it. Order Jameson and if you need a pickleback, that's ok.
10. Either ignore or talk the ear off your bartender. If you tell a decent sob story and are at least slightly attractive, you are likely to get free drinks. Hopefully, he's some cute Irish guy as a bonus (if you are around Midtown West, it's 90% likely he will be).
Or Nick from New Girl as a bartender would do as well
11. Stumble home while simultaneously texting some random ex who done you wrong.
12. Eat something fattening like cheap pizza slices or street-meat.
13. Be that strange girl sitting alone on train, looking like shes going to cry
I'm going to guess her day might be worse…
14. End up in your bed with clothes still on, drooling and/or snoring
15. Wake up the next morning with a headache but relieved that Wallow-day is over. Get up, shower, get coffee, and start fresh. Decide to be grateful for something each day and move on.

Tinder Challenge Aftermath
It couldn't just wrap up that nicely now could it? That wouldn't be our lives…Our lives are flaming disasters that may look like they have died down but are secretly smoldering, ready to flare up at any moment.
My Tinder Challenge was deemed a success due to meeting a great guy and then beginning to date. He deleted his Tinder, I deleted mine and off we went into courtship land. Until last night.
Picture perfect….wait wait, not so fast…
Before I get to that, let's look at how it's going for D. Terribly to put it mildly.
One guy admitted his STD status AND acts like a douche…look man, if you have a lifetime supply of Valtrex, you really need to be a nice dude to the ladies. You are hunting with a broken arrow, bro, you gotta be charming as fuck.
Or at least as good-looking at Ethan Hawk in the 90s (Reality Bites)
Next guy was younger and seemed to be extremely into her, which caused her to begin to like him more. Until Saturday at about 2am after his brother's house party. He jumps out of the cab, tells her to just go home as he doesn't think she should stay with him. Then sends a text to "break up" with her with zero explanation. WTF, weirdo? So what does every good Brooklyn girl do? Why go to another guy's apartment where he is drinking mushroom tea with his friend and friend's girlfriend, of course. It doesn't get much more real than that, folks.
What just happened? And where'd this dog come from?! (Frances Ha)
So she's feeling down and vulnerable but still happy that my dating life is FINALLY looking bright. Mwhahahahaha (evil laugh)…however, dark clouds rest heavy on the horizon.
My guy was gone over the weekend visiting friends in Long Island and I sensed something was wrong. Upon returning, he informed me that he had found out from his boss on Friday that he has to move back to Asia for an undetermined amount of time. He confessed that's why he seemed a little distant over the weekend because he wasn't sure how to tell me he now has to leave in just a few days! Jeez, I managed to chase a guy away over to the other side of the earth!
I received the text at about 8:30 Sunday night as I was out in the city with D., first at art show closing reception and then meeting my cousin and his friends who were in town for the Columbia v. Yale basketball game. I'm in the middle of conversation, look down and feel like screaming. ASIA?! BLERG!
There's gotta be something…so many things….(Clueless)
I asked him to call and he did so immediately. I was amazingly calm, explaining it's not his fault; shit happens and it just wasn't meant to be between us. He sounded as sad as I felt, explaining that he had no idea it would happen but his successor overseas had just quit and they needed him over there for awhile. He doesn't want to leave the city at all but duty calls. Just when you think things are finally looking up, splat! You get crushed like a bug again. So just a few days to get his stuff in storage and say goodbye. D. shook her head in amazement. "Holy crap. We cannot make this shit up," she said as we clinked our glasses and promised to just be sad old spinsters together.
Cheers to our sweet old-lady sorority house full of booze and Ben & Jerry's…(Frances Ha)
So all that's left for me to do is enjoy these last few days with Mr. and then it's sayonara….
Guess I'll help you pack….hmph.
Love & Seriously, you just can't make this stuff up…

Tinder Challenge 2014 Finale - Me
On Friday, February 14th, the Tinder Challenge 2014 came to an end. I happily deleted my account and despite not reaching the goal of three dates with different guys, I had my best 2nd date on Wednesday in years and was happy to let the challenge go.
Wednesday, my date from the Friday before (my 2nd Tinder guy in the new year) and I met at Rockwood Music Hall for some live music. My stomach had been hurting me for days, most likely from the deadly combo of wings, beer, and coffee I used as a sad excuse for nutrition. So I was no longer going to drink any beer and only have Gingerale or red wine (healthy, right?).
My "work associates"
Before meeting my date, I headed to Soho to look for a date outfit, wearing something decent in case I couldn't find anything. I obviously liked the guy. I found a couple dresses but still stuck with my leggings and long sweater mix because of the frigid night.
I showed up at Rockwood to find him outside waiting looking as handsome as I remembered. We kissed and went inside to listen to the bands. After three hours of watching bands and whispering, we went our separate ways. He texted me once he arrived home and we planned the next date: Sunday after Valentine's Day. My V-day was dedicated to my girl friends and his V-day was dedicated to an associate who was in from Hong Kong. At this point we began to text often, always receiving a good morning one. Warm and fuzzies.
No, not those kind of texts, Carlos Danger.
On Sunday, we met at B Flat in Tribeca where he informed me he had made me something as a belated Valentines gift but it wasn't ready yet. I asked him how his V-day was and he began to laugh. He and his associate (a 5'1" Asian guy who loves to drink) had a "romantic" dinner at Five Napkin burger and then the guy wanted to go to strip clubs which he refused and pawned him off on another guy in the office. I imagined that Valentine's Day at a strip club with your Asian manager might be the saddest thing I've heard and began to laugh as he shook his head.
Honest strip club sign…can't fault them.
After a drink there, we headed to check out the Manderley Bar at the McKittrick Hotel where the Sleep No More performance happens. There was a live jazz performance from a guy on the piano, who would stop to crack jokes once in awhile. We were pretty oblivious to the performance, choosing to dance around like goofs and kiss. After a couple drinks there, he helped me over the ice to a cab and we parted, finishing up our third date. I suddenly realized women my age and younger have been so trained to just meet guys, hook up (whether just staying at their apartment or more), and slide into dating that it feels strange to actually be "courted". My being picky is finally paying off! We immediately planned our next time to meet for Wednesday.
Tuesday night around 11pm I received a text message that he had been out with the same lush associate and that he might be a little tipsy off of 6 beers but that he missed me and couldn't wait until the next day. Well, well, it sure is nice to not be the drunk texter! I found it sweet.
Think positive! Unless they are mean texts…
I'm now writing this after our fourth date. I finally saw his apartment as we ordered in food, watched movies and drank wine. I woke this morning to him holding coffee for me and we headed out into the morning together: him dressed dapper in work clothes and me headed to a café "Looking like such the writer, with your glasses on", he informed me, kissing me before he hopped off at his stop. And now we text again until the next date. Surprise, surprise, I'm actually dating a very nice man I met on Tinder. Who woulda thunk?
On February 13th, I deleted my Tinder app; not just due to meeting mister, but also because I was already over it before I met him. If this one happens to not work out, I think it's time for a break from it anyway. I mentioned it to him and he said he was on it for two weeks and had one very disastrous date before meeting me and is over it as well. Have I checked this out to see if he's deleted it? Nope. Have I tried to add him on Facebook? Nope. For some strange reason, I just trust him and don't feel any need to be connected on social media when we already connect in person. For someone with trust issues, this is a very big deal and giant step in the right direction of my dating life (and it says a great deal about him as well). Time will tell but for now, I enjoy getting to know him and going with the flow….
Love & Bye Tinder!

Tinder Challenge 2014: Weekend Update With Liz Lemon
Another week has passed in the Tinder Challenge and we are just mere days from the finale. Here's where we stand so far:
J. Ummm….(I think she gave up)
S. and I have both gone out with two different guys. She has had more dates over all.
Friday evening, I grudgingly went out with my 2nd guy from Tinder. I really didn't want to deal with it anymore but I hate not finishing what I say I'm going to do. I said three dates dammit!
Second guy is 38, divorced amicably, no kids, with my usual preferred combo of tall (very tall), dark and handsome. We met at a dark and noisy bar around 9pm near Union Square. It was so dark that you couldn't even see the beer menu they hand you. He was waiting just inside the door wearing a nice, long camel-colored wool coat. He was even better looking in person. Handsome guys make me nervous and I was running late, so I start blabbering apologies for my tardiness and simultaneously shrugging off coat and trying to take off gloves and hat…basically I'm sure I looked like a crazy person.
My date followed suit shrugging off his coat and telling me he wasn't sure if I would want to stay there as we surveyed the dungeon like atmosphere filled with early 20's junior associates and account managers. Now that I'm 31, I still call such places "college-bars" despite most of the people in them actually have graduated. I just can't really tell ages anymore, except "young'uns" and "blue-hairs".
We decided to give it a whirl and he took the lead walking through the crowd to get to the bar with determination as if he was going into battle. I like guys who take the reins because I'm usually the pushy, impatient one. I get tired of always handling everything and making plans all the time. So I stood back and let him lead the way…until I saw an opening and dove in and asked a couple girls to get the f*ck out of the way so I could get to the bar (Kidding, I politely asked. But people really? Must you stand in front of the bar all damn night when others need to get drinks? It's just rude). He looked impressed as I ordered my Manhattan and his beer. Oh yeah, I make things happen; a real go-getter. Or I'm just really good at procuring alcohol for myself. Hmmm.
We find some little corner of solitude (more like less obnoxiously loud and crowded area) and settled into first date small talk. His faintly European accent was noticeable, though he said he was from New York originally. Turns out, he was born here but lived all over the world, including the country I lived in for several months. Not many Americans have lived in Romania. Very random.
Also, he's Jewish, which seems to be my lot in life. I have a thing for the Jewish guys and meanwhile I'm basically a incarnate ideal for the Aryan Nation (half Dutch with some German and English mixed in for ultimate white-ness). Maybe that't the underlying issue: I feel some weird displaced guilt and have therefore have an affinity for my Jew friends. Do you ever think that modern day rednecks and the far religious right would be what could make Hitler's America happen? As in wanting some sort of "Master Race" and listening to some crazy failed artist who doesn't even look like his ideal in the first place (Black hair? Nein nein!). Yeah, sometimes I worry about that. "Keep them thur Mexicanos away from my country." "Durn fureigners always taking urr jobs!" "Look at that Injun with his towel, he's gurna blow up my plane!" "Gay muurriage? What is that? you can't make no master race if you got two ding-dongs or two hoonannies!" They ain't like me and they ain't speak like me, so I donta liike ems!" Scary. (See recent influx of racist a-holes after the Coca-Cola SuperBowl commercial) Don't even get me started on that stupidity. Honestly, when I lived abroad, there were times I hate to admit I felt ashamed of how our country looked to the rest of the world (However, these were the golden years of Bush Jr. so it was even more embarrassing. Classic defense move: "I didn't vote for him! Did you vote for your Prime Minister that you hate?" Yeah, thought so).
So I digressed greatly with that tirade. Back to regularly scheduled colloquy about online dating. Ya know, the really important stuff…
After the first round of drinks, I switched to beer to keep from being too sauced and after the 2nd round we decided to change venues. We walked over to the W hotel lobby bar where we could actually sit and talk. One more drink and it was time to go our separate ways. We were out together for about 2 hours….it did seem to end abruptly but on a good note. We walked to the train and hugged goodbye before he turned his head to kiss me. I was ok with that.
Next morning I received a good morning text in Romanian. Good start. Second date is planned for Wednesday so let's see if I can get past the second date. Though none of us has hit the goal of 3 people, at least there were multiple dates…except J. I think we need to get her out more! Damn Astoria.
Meanwhile, in the rest of our little crew, C. never heard back from the previous weekend's date but went on another one that went decently Saturday night. D. went out with that dude I told her to avoid (Oh, don't listen to me! Fine.) and they hung out the next day as well. Next thing you know, they will be buying a puppy. Didn't the guy just break up, like yesterday with his girlfriend? Eh, what do I know, I date the "undateables" often myself. You likes what you likes. The heart does whatever the f*ck it wants, the little rascal.
I've also decided to play cupid with a guy I've met a couple times at the ol' neighborhood bar. He's a very handsome resident at NYU's hospital and I decided to set him up with C. He already contacted her and they are meeting up tomorrow. Why didn't I want to go for a handsome Doc-in-training? See that part above about the heart does whatever it wants. No connection seemed to be between us but seems like a friendly guy. I love playing cupid and I give great dating/love advice…but somehow never take the advice myself. What a dolt.
Love and NERDRAGE! Blerg!
Me (and Liz Lemon)

Tinder Challenge 2014 - Updates and Farting Dogs
Nothing has happened.
What you looking at? Said nothing here.
No really, not much is stirring with the Tinder Challenge with only 10 days left.
J. still hasn't hit date one and I'm going to guess that she's pretty over it.
I have yet to hit Date 2 despite talking with one fellow quite a bit but never being able to match schedules and exchanging a couple message with two others. I think I'm pretty over it too.
S. is still most successful: she has seen the guy from Date 2 a few times now and here's a hilarious text to prove it:
Ahh, the ol' farting dog trick….suuuuuure.
Meanwhile, though she is not part of the Tinder Challenge (because as I put it, that would be like having Shaun White compete at the Special Olympics….yes, in this analogy, she is a gold medal Olympian and we are specially-abled), D. had this fun story to share:
Ahh, like the ol' farting dog trick, something smells foul here.
Run. Run away girl. Once a cheater, always (and this is pretty much cheating - emotionally is worse than random banging of other girl if you ask me), plus add the fact he's obviously a Grade A PUSSY who can't even break up with a girl. Screw that. I can look into my "Crystal Ball" (aka, an old Magic 8 Ball that only shows the points anymore, because come on, the future with this cat is obvious) and tell you this: he will most likely never break up with her (see previous point made of him being a giant puss) but she will leave his ass when she tires of him being a pansy/cheater. Then he will come after you and, should you make mistake of getting involved with him, he will do similar thing to you. I say to thee, run, run fair maiden!
WTF is this sh*t?!
Beyond Tinder, I have the guy I met in Puerto Rico last year ask me to meet up with him while he was at some work thing in Princeton (he even offered for over $300 car service to pick me up an drop me off so I could come see him. No.) He comes back at end of the month to the city for a bit and we have talked about me heading down there for a hiatus (A week in the tropics? I guess I could handle that). Why is it a handsome engineer who lives in PR wants to see me and I can't even get a #2 Tinder date? Life is strange.
Screw this. I'll be here if you need me.
Love and Dog Beano? New product patent?

Beyond Protest 18.01.13
Fannuel Mabhugu from the Progressive Teachers Union talks about an education project launched this week, aimed at restoring the respect teachers used to have in communities. Mabhugu said teachers are seen as poor and powerless victims of political violence. Government still refuses to pay them enough and allows them to be victimized. The project aims to sensitise communities to issues affecting the profession, in order to bring peace and understanding.

Chelsea interested in signing out of favor Barcelona striker David Villa
11/11/12 in Soccer | SamuelWhale | 589 respect
Chelsea is lightening up the transfer market with interest in a striker this fall. The Stamford Bridge boss Roberto Di Matteo is already hunting for new forwards and reportedly he has marked a couple of high profile strikers for his squad.
The names of Atletico Madrid's Radamel Falcao and Santos' Neymar have been around the block for a while, but there are more names arriving every day. Just last week, Chelsea showed interest in swooping in for Shakhtar Donetsk's attacking midfielder Willian.
The Brazilian international Willian usually plays in the center of park but has an uncanny talent of scoring unique goals.
This week Chelsea have been linked with a move for the Barcelona star David Villa. Reports from Spain have revealed that David Villa is unhappy at Barcelona. The Spain international is edging towards an away move which could occur during the winter transfer window.
The 30-year-old Spaniard is tired of his bench-warming role at Barcelona. David Villa's falling out with teammate Lionel Messi has fueled the Spaniard's desire to move out of Spain.
The unsettled striker will enter the football market as one of the top objects. A number of clubs have been interested in acquiring David Villa's services in the past. Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur will certainly inquire Barcelona about David Villa's price if he enters the football market.
Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo is keen on strengthening his attack this fall. Presently, Chelsea's squad compromises of only two strikers; Fernando Torres and Daniel Sturridge.
Roberto Di Matteo's interest in David Villa suggests the Italian is going for short term stability of Chelsea. Moreover, partnering up David Villa with Fernando Torres will be an interesting move as both players also play for Spain's national football team.
Chelsea is expected to go after younger targets during the winter transfer window, but if the Champions League winning club is unable to secure the services of a talented youngster then Roberto Di Matteo will start working on his contingency plan.
Chelsea can sign in David Villa for around £20 million range. Rife reports from Spain suggest Barcelona has already put a £18 million price tag on David Villa.

Pauly D's got his work cut out for him with his new baby mama -- so claims the daddy of her 1st child ... who has some serious words of warning for the "Jersey Shore" star.
Meet 33-year-old Lance Gerbino, the father of Amanda Markert's 5-year-old son. His friend just posted this video on Instagram, where Lance calls Amanda a crazy "drug addict stripper" -- something she strenuously denies.
Lance is no angel himself -- as we reported, one reason Pauly wants full custody is because there's a felony drug arrest warrant out for him, and he thinks there's a danger if Lance comes in contact with the baby.
As for Amanda, her lawyer tells us, "Amanda is an extremely wholesome young lady who is goal oriented." He adds she's never been a stripper and has absolutely no drug issues.
BTW ... Lance's friend has taken the video off Instagram.
goal oriented...haha...pretty good goal to get preggers by someone who can pay child support
a guy with a felony drug warrant out for him.is going to tell us if someone is a good parent or not lmao.
No matter how greasy and despicable Pauly is, he was able to sustain a viable career even after that crappy trashy show. So he's not a total irresponsible loser. And what have she accomplished so far?
What is with all of these losers trying to cash in on a minute of fame? That dude looks like a drug addict facing felony charges.... oh wait? lol
Baby Momma and Baby Daddy #1 both = fame hags/losers.... looks like Pauly D, sadly, has his work cut out for him in life.... I hope he gets custody of the baby - but unfortunately, he'll have these 2 bottom feeders to deal with forever, as well.
She needs a new lawyer. Nobody is buying the "wholesome" line.
"Goal oriented". She sure is. Her goals in life include making babies with the closest celebrities that would want to bang her and make
Money in child support. Lol!!
Dear Pauly D... If you thought she was a Golddigger , you should of pulled out and Prayed,
Don't wanna see no drugs where the kids be at
He said Amanda is a druggie stripper but he is no saint either, found this article about him here http://dailyentertainmentnews.com/tv/lance-gerbino-pauly-d-baby-mama-amanda-markerts-baby-daddy/
"Wholesome young lady" yeah, who had unprotected sex with a guy she had met that very night after getting hammered. A wholesome young lady would have been at home taking care of her first kid.
Wholesome?!? She's got 2 baby daddies! Goal oriented?!? Yea, to hit the child support jackpot!
A lesson Pauly should have learned years and years ago....but he was lost in his ego.
She looks very wholesome with all the cleavage she shows in her pictures, all the pictures with her boobs hanging out, the pictures where she is wearing bikini bottoms and a top that barely cover her and the dress that seems to cover barely anything - extremely wholsome
Well, those kids are doomed. LoL

His Dark Materials - Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass"This is what'll happen," she said, "and it's true, perfectly true. When you go out of here, all the particles that make you up will loosen and float apart, just like your daemons did. If you've seen people dying, you know what that looks like. But your daemons en't just nothing now; they're part of everything. All the atoms that were them, they've gone into the air and the wind and the trees and the earth and all the living things. They'll never vanish. They're just part of everything. And that's exactly what'll happen to you, I swear to you, I promise on my honor. You'll drift apart, it's true, but you'll be out in the open, part of everything alive again."

I have lived in this town my almost my entire life and yes, I have tried to relocate only to find that I missed my hometown! Tarpon still has a small town feel to it. We have recently acquired many new franchises and enjoy a variety of shopping and dining experiences, but we still have that special ambiance that only comes with living in a small town. The Greek community is a very integral part of Tarpon, but not the only culture one can experience here. The dining experience encompasses many cultures and many price ranges. We are lucky enough to have an excellent Historical district that includes the "Golden Crescent" and Tarpon Ave which is also known for it's many antique shops. The Sponge Docks are a tourist haven for shopping and dining, many locals can be seen enjoying that area as well. We have many attractions and if night clubs are your thing, there is something for every taste. Schools are wonderful here as well, my boys are aged 8 and 3 and my oldest attends Tarpon Elementary School, a fantastic facility with a caring and well qualified staff. My little guy will soon be attending one of the many fine preschools in the area. All in all, Tarpon is a pretty great place to live![read more...]

I made my own powdered laundry detergent and it was not a disaster! I recommend it if you are bored — or maybe cheap. Sometimes, the Internet gets into my brain and compels me to attempt A Project. I'm particularly susceptible to "efficient" or charming domestic capers like making my own Irish Soda Bread (such a bad idea!). When I … Read More
How to Make Washcloth Cupcakes
I have a good friend who is the perfect example of a "girly girl." Her favorite patterns are floral, she loves the color pink (especially pale pink), and she loves frilly dresses. She is the definition of delicate and feminine. But when her birthday came along, I was clueless on what to get her. Giving gifts is not my strength, … Read More
How to Make Magazine Wine Bags
Recently I've discovered several tutorials on how to make gift bags out of newspaper. I thought these bags would be a perfect way for me to waste my summer nights as the holiday season approaches. I've always been a big fan of recycling and buying bags or notebooks made out of recycled materials, so the DIY projects made sense. The … Read More
The Lazy Lady's Guide to DIY: Upcycling Fugly Furniture
My name is Allie, and I love to make things. I am also cheap, lazy, and have the ability to injure myself with safety scissors. So when I say that if I can do this, anyone can, I mean it. In this first of many craftacular adventures, I'm going to show you how to paint and re-cover chairs.
Wanna-be Banksy
I am pretty much exactly like Banksy, minus the artistic vision, the huge fan base and gigantic amount of nerve it takes to do what he does. Okay, I'm really nothing like Banksy, but I really, really love spray painting things. That counts for something, right?
The Cuteness Will Be Epic
It felt like I looked everywhere for flower girl outfits. Online, the mall, boutiques, thrift stores, everywhere. Everything was just too freaking frilly, too expensive, just too much. Nothing matched the idea in my head of what I wanted them to wear. This will be a running theme you will notice with me, the impetus for all my DIY- I … Read More

When I told people that the main decorations at our wedding were going to be tissue paper poofs, the false enthusiasm I was met with was painfully, brutally transparent.
Etsy Christmas Ornaments: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Originally, I was trolling Etsy for winter holiday decorations of all kinds, but after wading through thousands upon thousands of offerings (most of them very good, I must add), I realized that whenever I came across something that made me spontaneously giggle or retch or roll my eyes, it was a Christmas tree ornament. So without further ado, the best … Read More
