Versus: Jen v. Angie

It’s been seven years, seven years people; the gum I swallowed back in 2005 has left my body, the dogs born in 2005 are now 49 years old.    A Pope somewhere in one of those foreign speaking countries died.   Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton had a fight that forever changed the landscape of their friendship.   I don’t think I’ve brought any of these things up since 2005, maybe early 2006.   Why are we still heavily discussing J versus A?   And why do we keep pitting two of the most polar opposite people against each other? These women are like night and day.   Jennifer’s boldest and most controversial move was chopping her hair off for season seven of Friends.   Angelina’s is a real tossup between French kissing her brother at the Oscars, in front of the world, or wearing Billy Bob’s blood around her neck.   The only things these two have in common are famous dads, easy to pronounce last names and Brad Pitt that is it. I have a strong...

Some Of The Things I Wish I Could Be Right Now

Think of this as my "immediate wants" I want to be...  ...that football.    ...that little puggie with the Ray Bans.   ...that basketball.  ...that water, seeping through his clothes onto his skin.   ...that pocket on his pec.   ...that parking meter.   ...that pitstain.   ...that tattoo.   ...the air directly above him.    ...the air directly below him.   ...the turtle from that turtleneck.   ...Tom Hanks. I love you Zac Efron...    from Summerland...                                                                     ...

Traumatizing Events That Shaped My Life: Vol. 3

Another installment of this is why I am who I am This Traumatized Me, More Than It Traumatized the Three of You. For the majority of us that pursue our parents dream of  their child obtaining a higher education, the time spent in college is a learning experience. In no way am I talking educational wise.  I have two degrees and all I retained from them is knowing the 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th amendments from one degree and oral fixation vs. anal retentiveness from another. Fine. I only remember the 5th amendment and I only know about oral fixation because I have it. (Get your mind out of the gutter. Oh, it’s just my mind?) For many, college is a learning experience in the way that you learn a lot about yourself, who you are, what you want etc. That was not my experience. My experience consisted of drinking a lot and sleeping a lot. Note: While I very much condone college binge drinking. If I can give one piece of advice to those i...

Things that Concern Me: April 7th, 2012 - Well That Backfired.

All That - awesome  The Amanda Show - splendid She's the Man - good stuff What I Like About You - Jennie Garth and the gorge Nick Zano - enough said. Most of you know my disdain for Amanda Bynes.  I've always, always been a fan of her work, and then she joined Twitter and whatever work she had done to win me over (which wasn't a lot, she's a funny chick) was washed away.  It took me nine months to unfollow her, afraid that if I unfollowed, I would miss something spectacular.  I don't even have an example of what I would think I would miss, shame on me.  Evenutally, A. Bynes deleted her Twitter, I assumed because she had gotten so much hate @replies because of her dumb tweets.  Then she came back. I checked, still dumb and proceeded to go on with my life. Then on  April 6th, 2012, this happened: copyright Perez Hilton I should clarify to you all, Amanda's hair is not pink. It's lilac.  How do I know you ask?  Here's a hint:...

To You, I Am Sorry.

I don't like to admit my flaws, so it was a big milestone the day I tweeted about the only flaw I've ever had: For those of you who knew, and even those of you who are just finding out right now that I have a flaw, I have some more news for you…I have another flaw. WHAT?! Chandra! NO! I know, shocking, but true... Here it is...... I'm really bad at relationships. This includes all relationships; parent/child, friend/friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, dog/owner. I know, you're probably still shocked, but it's still true.  I was probably equally as shocked when I found out myself. I've recently become aware of this flaw all on my own. Over the last couple years I have become very self-aware. Well not very. My self-awareness comes in brief, random spurts, like at 3 AM on a Tuesday morning when I'm finishing off the last beer of my Miller Lite 12 pack while watching my own YouTube videos, or at 2 PM on a Sunday while I'm sitting in standstill t...

Real Deal, or No Deal?

Stop Kony 2012.  This is not a post about Kony 2012, I'm not going to talk about Kony 2012, but check out what Kony 2012 is and who Joseph Kony is. Oh, and Kony 2012. In the past 10 years I have purposely turned my TV to CNN four times; Michael Jackson's funeral, during the earthquake in Haiti, when bin Laden was killed, and Whitney Houston's funeral. To me, watching the news is boring at times and almost always overwhelming. It seems you can never fully "catch up" on a story without quitting your job to watch what develops 24/7. And even if you do that, in due time your electric and cable will be shut off because you don't have the income to pay for it since you quit your job. It's a moot point (or if you are a Friends fan- it's a "moo point because nobody cares about a cow's opinion...it's moo.") It seems as each day goes by and each minute I am one minute closer to my death, I mature a millimeter.  With that millimeter my intere...

Things That Concern Me: March 6, 2012: Selena Edition

When I started my very popular (over 50 views and thriving) "Things that Concern Me” blog posts a long 3 months ago I went in blind, not knowing what would concern me each month, except for March. In January, I made a note in my MemoPad on my Blackberry (yes Blackberry - two more months people). I typed “Things that Concern Me in March – Selena.” Every once in a while, up until last night, I would become hesitant to write this post merely due to  1) I know my closest friends are going to think this post is well past the line of my  self-diagnosed, yet obvious addictive personality and I don't deal with critiscism from them too well  2) this wasn't going to be a particularly funny post   3) the fact those close to me, and even those not so close have had Selena shoved down their throats by me since I was 12. I know that last thing those people want is to read more stuff about Selena.  And the last thing I want to hear is "Oh there she goe...
