(This post has nothing to do with kissing.) I finally decided, after my third semester in spanish, that this really isn't the language for me. I took two years of frech in high school and had no problems at all. Hopefully, all I will need is two semesters of a foreign language to graduate with my associates. If so, then I'll take french as a minor for the rest of my college career. Isn't it weird though? I had to take spanish to make myself realize how much I liked french!
Anywayz, I caught American Idol last night for some reason and jumped up and down with joy as Jordan was being crownded this years American Idol. I think she's excellent! I mean-I didn't even have to watch the show to know how great she is! I can not believe the great performances they had on during the season finale-I mean Bette Midler was off-da-chain! And Kelly Clarkston-luved it!

So much going on...
Well, *snif* I watched the season finaly of Gilmore Girls last night and I must say...I almost cried. Especially the scene where Lorelli's freaking out because Roary never got a chance to where her orange sweater. And Roary looks at her mother, solumnly, and says "Mom, you've given me everything I need." ~~~~~~~>_<~~~~~~~ It was so sad *sob*
I've also have good news. I managed to pass Spanish with a C! And I have no idea how that happened. I've also been promoted to Full-time at Home Depot (the place that I work) and hopefully the bills will be less difficult to pay.
And, this whole Paris trying to get out of going to jail is BS! I mean, don't get me wrong, I LLLUUUVVV Paris Hilton, I really do. But, when you do wrong you have to pay the price and take responsibility for your actions. There really is no discussion required for her situation. She had her liscence suspended, she was not allowed to drive but did anyway and she was sentenced to prison for 45 days: case closed. She's going to jail!
Also, I just finished reading 'The White Bone' by Barbara Gowdy and that book was AWESOME!! Of coarse, there's a lot of drama in that book and it represents the struggle animals must go through just to survive to see tomorrow. So many of the main characters (who are elefants) were killed by pochers for their tusks. The family of the main character, the She-Ss, went from a family of many to only 5. This book describes the brutal effects of the ivory trade perfectly and makes me wanna go to Africa and stop it myself! Good job Gowdy!

Guy falls asleep @ the wheel on youtube
Today, I heard from a few associates at work that there was a video circulating through youtube about a live video cam showing a guy fall asleep at the wheel. I know it shouldn't be funny but...(I'll let you be the judge).

Regarding the VT massacre...
So many people think that the VT massacre signifies the "end of the world." It doesn't! If, when this happened, people took a blind eye or sighed and said "Oh no...another massacre...honey what are we having for dinner?" then you would know the end is coming. If something like this became so common that people no longer took notice or did anything to help, then-and only then-would there be something wrong. As long as human nature prevails and people still unify at the conclusions of these types of horrific events, humanity will continue. So very often do people underestimate mankind.

OMG, the day I've had!
Well, everything was going great (I had an first day, on-the-job training today at 9:30am). I left the house on time, got on the highway and everything was going great...until I realized I had left something-my shoes!! Well, not my driving shoes, but my dress shoes (b/c I have to where business atire). So then, I was like, I have to go back home to get my shoes. Once I got off at the nearest exit, I realized I really didn't have time to go all the way back home-or I could but I just would've gotten to work a-gagillion minutes late. So, I speed over to Gwinnett Place Mall, but aparently they're not open at 9:00 in the morning. So I jumped back in my car and drove to Payless... and they're not open either. At this point I was running out of options (it was 15 minutes until work time). So, after I almost gave up, I drove over to Target and-Thanks to all that is good and holy on this Earth-it was open. I ran in, bought a pair of dress shoes I usually wouldn't, bought a box of wheat bars and jumped back in my car (5 minutes to d-day). And of course I called to my employer and let them know I was to be late. And, when I finally got their 20 minutes late, I threw of my tennis shoes and put on my new dress shoes. Those shoes were so big I felt like I were wearing slippers!! I could've sworn I was a size thirteen but I guess I was wrong...

Zach Johnson- you da man!!
Tiger Woods is an excellent golfer and all that but I kinda got tired of him winning ALL the time. Every time you would turn on the t.v., you'd hear that dred sports announcer "Woods won the 70th annual Master's championship for the 98th time in a row!! YE-HAH (cuz you know all sports anouncers are from the south)" It was starting to sound like he was the inflated celebrity and all the other contestants were there just to make hime look good. Here's an article with him trying to explain himself for losing without saying the actual words "It's about time somebody beat me..."
Woods Reflective On Runner-up Finish (article from masters.org)
Sunday, April 8, 2007Art Stricklin
When Tiger Woods thinks about why he tied for second in the 71st Masters Tournament, he won’t reflect on Sunday’s dramatic play. He didn’t consider the four-iron he broke off a tree on No. 11, not the approach shot in the water on the par-5 15th, or the missed six-foot birdie putt on the par-3 16th.
His thoughts go deeper than that as the chief reason he failed to win the fifth Green Jacket.
“I basically blew this tournament with two rounds (Thursday and Saturday) when I had bogey, bogey finishes,” he said “That’s four-over in two holes and you just can’t afford to do that and win major championships.”
That bogey-bogey finishes proved to be vital as the winning margin for 2007 Masters champion Zach Johnson was two shots.
“It’s frustrating in the sense that I just made a couple of mistakes,” Woods said. As he usually does, Woods made things interesting for the patrons on a sunny Easter Sunday. He entered the final round playing in the last group, one shot behind third round leader Stuart Appleby. A first nine 37 dropped him farther back. Then the traditional second nine fireworks started. He bogeyed the par-4 10th hole to fall three shots behind Johnson, Appleby, Retief Goosen and Rory Sabbatini. On the 11th hole his drive went into the woods on the right and finding himself stymied behind a tree, Woods broke his four-iron but the ball flew into the fairway.
“That’s not the first time that’s happened,” Woods said of the broken club. “I did that at the 1999 Tour Champions when I hit a rock.”
Despite snapping his club, Woods managed a par save. On the par-3 12th, he said he hit a 5-iron and managed another two-putt par.
“I had to hit it a hard as I could and work it to get it on the green, but it worked out,” Woods said.
He made his only eagle of the week 13th, rolling in a two-foot eagle putt to cut his deficit to two shots, but that proved to be his last challenge of the round.
“I thought it would be great,” he said. “I made three there and hit a perfect drive on 14 and wound up in a divot. So I’m thinking, ‘here we go.’ I probably hit the best shot I hit all week to give myself a putt at it.
His six-footer on the par-3 16th, his last realistic chance to close to gap on Johnson, also failed to fall. Woods said he is never happy to finish second, but he was not surprised to see Johnson, his 2006 Ryder Cup teammate, earn his first Green Jacket.
“Zach is a good player; he proved that making the Ryder Cup team and he played the best today,” Woods said.
With that, the four-time Masters champion and world’s top-ranked golfer was gone.'
PS: If you didn't understand any of that golf mumbo-jumbo, you're not alone. I have no idea what a bogey is.... I might as well be reading spanish.

Those sunsilk commercials crack me up!
I'll be at home watching something lame like america's Funnest home Videos or the new season of Mad TV (you know that show isn't funny anymore). And, all of a sudden, a sunsilk commercial comes on and for thirty seconds I am delighted. Their so mean to eahother but it's, like, in a friendly way. The blondes joke about the brunettes and the brunettes back fire-it's WONDERFUL. I love these commercials...it's just a shame that I'm neither blonde, a brunette or a girl! I hope you enjoy.
