My Super Sweet Sixteen

That show seriously depicts the downfall of humanity as we know it. A bunch of retarded spoiled brats whose parents instead of teaching them responsibility and morals, just throw a bunch of cash at them. The bitch on the episode that I saw today (and wasted five minutes of my precious time) was given a SIX-DOOR Hummer worth $250,000...now this gift was totally separate from her disgustingly extravagant party which probably cost at least double that amount. I don't even think my parents' house is 250 grand! Granted all those kids are the worst of the worst, but it's definitely a widespread symptom with the new generation...a bunch of lazy spoiled teens with no work ethic whatsoever.
If your mommy and daddy pay for all your schooling, and support you WHILE you're in school so you can party hard hang out with all your cool friends, don't pretend you live some hard-knock life. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against rich people, if you're loaded good for you. You just can't by your way into being cool.
There's honestly nothing more annoying than some eighteen year old kid fresh out of high school getting tattooed every freaking weekend and thinking you're super cool tough guy cause you know some dudes in hardcore bands. NEWSFLASH!! In the real world no one gives a shit if you are IN a hardcore band, let alone KNOW someone in a hardcore band. I thought hardcore was supposed to be about community and friendship, and a love of something that we all have in common. Boy, have I been wrong! I'm learning that it's all about the hierarchy and if you're friends with the "in" crowd.
End Rant.

So in less than a week now me and Casey leave for our Orlando trip to spend many days napping on the beach. This little vacay could not have come at a better time, I'm so ready to chill and have some low-key quality girl time. I plan on eating a ton of seafood and hopefully hitting up either the Vans outlet or the Vans store in the mall, either way it's a win for me!

Also, two thumbs up for Bootylicious Buns work-out videos.

I am the Master Griller.

Yesterday me, Stan, and Ruby all cooked out at our place. We got three strip steaks which I must admit I cooked to near perfection. We also had potato salad (with bacon), regular salad, along with all sorts of other delicious snacks.
I couldn't be happier that it's summertime!
I get to go to Florida and the beach TWICE in May and I'm stoked.
As Mer would say, our trip to Sarasota will be "epic".
She flies down at the end of May and stays for about 10 days, I'm so excited!

Been doing lots of Pilates and other various exercise videos on Demand from Comcast, and I'm actually pretty into it. I feel like it's still lazy enough to suit my taste since I can do it in my underwear and not have to leave my house.

We've been going on so many road trips and doing so much out of town with United Blood, and then Breast Fest that I'm looking forward to a few chill weeks of just staying around here.

I finally caved in and got a facebook, even after all of my shit-talking about it. I realized everyone was leaving me behind so I finally joined the ranks of all my friends. It really is quite convenient for keeping in touch with friends out of town. Or just for posting ridiculous shit that I see or hear....
Like girls who pass out from getting tattooed and then shit their pants.

I'm feeling like a melodramatic post...

This is a lesson in letting your guard down.
Sometimes open arms are an invitation for disaster.
So next time, I'll trust my fucking instincts.
Next time you come around,
All you will get are cold stares, cold shoulders.
I'll be crouching with my fists clenched in the corner.

I can only hang on tight for so long.
I'm letting you go.
I will be just fine on my own.
You can't come in.
I'm leaving you out in the cold,
Because there's no room,
Left in my heart for fakes like you.

R.I.P. Modern Life Is War.

Love & X's,
Rachel
