New Format?

Why is it so hard for me to blog on a regular basis? I am painfully unoriginal, and I can never think of anything to blog about! I wonder why..I think in order to blog daily, (or at least a few times a week) I need to change how this blog works. I am going to try a new format in this post, and hopefully this is the change I need.

#2 Essay - I have an 5 page essay due for English tomorrow, and I am barely on the 3rd page! I love to procrastinate, but I've noticed that I work alot better under stress. I received a very good grade on my last essay, which was written last minute as well, so hopefully that happens this time.
Halloween - I love Halloween! I love the costumes, decorations and if you know anything about me..the CANDY! I consistently have candy with me at all times, either in my backpack or in my purse. With a whole holiday dedicated to candy, who wouldn't be happy!?
Coming Election - Cross your fingers that Obama wins. What would happen if he didn't? I do not even want to imagine! I also hope and pray that the right Propositions get passed.
Christmas - Ugg change the subject. I will elaborate on that later.

NO ON PROP 8

"There are people who have said I'm being brave for being openly supportive of gay marriage, gay adoption, basically gay rights but with all due respect I humbly descent. I am not being brave I am being a decent human being, and I don't think I should recieve an award for that, or for merely stating what I believe to be true, that love is a human experience not a politcal statement. However I acknowledge that sadly I live in a world where not everyone feels the same." -Anne Hathaway's acceptance speech at 2008 HRC




I want to dedicate this post to something I have very, very strong opinions about. Hopefully by the end of this, you can get the jest of what I am trying to say. As ya'll know, Proposition 8 deals with gay marriage. A vote on Prop 8 makes gay marriage illegal. Before interracial marriage was legal, many people said the same thing against that, that they now say against gay marriage now. How many people opposed giving women the right to vote??? Many people are uncomfortable voting No on Prop 8, because of their children being taught about gay marriage in school. First, there is nothing that says that will happen. Second, my second grade brother Anthony knows about gay people and my parents have taught him to be accepting of everyone. Third, just because a child knows about gay marriage in no way will "turn" the child gay. Everyone is who they are. Despite your feelings about homosexuals, NOONE has the rights to deny them the right to marry someone they love. I believe in equal rights for everyone, including women, men, mexican, black, gay or straight.

Updates

I do not think this blog post will really be an update but I just didn't know what to put as the title. This week and weekend has been pretty chill. I recieved my last paycheck on Tuesday, so me and my sister headed to the mall. We stopped by H&M, where I bought a long-sleeve white shirt, and a black sweater. I need clothes for fall and winter! We also stopped by Sephora, where I was pressured (by myself) to buy a Urban Decay eyeshadow palette. It is beautiful though! I cannot wait to try all the colors.

Yesterday me and my family went to watch Wall-E at Caltech for Family Night. It was the second time for my sister, brother and I. I loved it even more the second time around. I honestly think Wall-E is probably my favorite Disney Pixar movie. Hopefully I have time to update this weekend.

Debate

Its 1 in the morning, and I'm blogging. Hmm. Anyways, this past Thursday was the first and only Vice-Presidential Debate. My dad and I watched and I must say, Sarah Palin surprised me. She did better than I thought. I mean, have you watched her interview with Katie Couric? Wow. Despite this, she is still not someone I want as Vice-President, much, much less President. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a woman becoming President, just not her.

I'm so happy that this is the first Presidental Election I will be able to vote in. I mean when is a more perfect time to voice my opinion, as small as it may be. Barack Obama is for sure getting my vote, despite his non-support of gay marriage. Hey, no body's perfect.

Enough politics. I didn't end up going to Six Flags. Long story short, I wasn't feeling good in any way, so I decided to stay home. It's not a BIG DEAL. Anyways, tomorrow is my cousin's sons birthday party at the park (whaaat!) I know its freezing, but tacos from the taquiero always makes me happy. Expect many pictures in tomorrows post, for the lack of them in this one.

TGIF

Thank God it's Friday! I have a good feeling about this weekend, even though I will spend most of it studying for my Chemistry quiz. Chemistry is definitely not my best subject, so we'll see how that goes.


This morning when I woke up, I had a huge craving for an omelet. Determined to make one, I rummaged through the refrigerator, and found most of what I was looking for. The result? A three egg omelet, with a filling of tomatoes, onions, cheddar cheese, jalapenos, ham and a little bit of parsley and thyme. Delicious! I hope that this means my cooking skills are getting better. This weekend, I failed to mention I am also going to Six Flags for Vons Night, which is one night a year where only Vons workers can purchase tickets. We have attended Vons Night the previous two years, where it took place in Disneyland. It was a lot of fun, as the park was practically empty. Hopefully Vons Night at Six Flags is the same!

Weekend Recap

Life has been pretty eventful for me lately. It has consisted of a new semester at school, a couple of "parties," and of course, ever present drama. I have made a commitment to this blog, to include more pictures in each post, as visuals make everything much more interesting. This past week was very interesting. On Friday 9.20.08, some of my cousins and I drove to Hollywood to watch my cousins' band The Sweet Dominiques (formally known as Further) play at a bar named Crane's Hollywood Tavern. I loved the place! It truly seemed like a backyard house party. For some reason there happened to be a table full of cupcakes, which were grabbed quickly by some of us. We later found out they were for a girl's suprise party. Ohh, well. The band was awesome as always, and I was especially happy when they played my favorite song, "Paralyzed." Overall the night was really fun, and I can't wait for the next show.






This past friday, I attended the most weird, akward yet suprisingly fun wedding. My Uncle Julio was celebrating his third marriage, the second within a year, to a woman he has only known for about three months. Yea, that kind of says its all. It's safe to say noone was comfortable being there. The "baile," was fun however. We all formed a circle and danced our asses off. My brother was the main attraction with his hip-hop moves. Fun night.
