Alone on a Deserted Island...

If you were stranded on a Deserted Island and only had 3 things ((that could be anything)) what would they be??





We've all been asked the question before...but seriously what would you bring? I mean take for instance Tom Hanks in Cast Away **Yes I know it was movie** but what happened if that were to happen to you ((minus the freak plane accident))? I mean like seriously....would you bring your collection of commemorative stamps from the early 20th century??? What the hell would you do with that? Sit and look at them for hours? I think not....
So I've decided to write today's blog about what 3 things I would personally bring ((and I know my last one is a little off the beaten track...but i did say anything)) !! **Hold on to your seats kids**


::: NUMBER 1 :::

I would bring my books....and I would probably go get a few more books....that I've been dying to read too ((since I knew I was going to be stranded for God knows how long))....I have a wild and vivid imagination and I know I would get completely bored sitting there sunning every day!!





::: NUMBER 2 :::

The Perfect Deserted Island Survival kit! Of course it would be equipped with the essentials **lighter, knife, compass, cooking pan, medical kit, etc etc etc*** but I would further mine and put a tent, flash light, and fishing gear in there too!! That takes care of food and shelter!! ((Oh yeah and probably some spices and a water jug and some extra batteries))

::: Number 3 :::

A man....**preferably Gerard Butler**. I know I know what your thinking girls...but I will be the first to admit that I would get lonely...among other things **wink wink** And a man would be the perfect accessory to help with putting the shelter up, fishing and all the other "manly" things....because I would much rather sit, sun bathe and watch some fine ass man ((and his budging muscles)) do all the work **Only in a perfect world***


So this concludes my list!! I wonder what are your three things would be??
**Feel free to comment**


** Oh the things I would do to you Gerard Butler**

Five of My PERSONAL Guilty Pleasures......

So this interesting blog idea popped into my head because me and my friend were talking about me being lactose intolerant and not being about to eat ice cream with cake....HA! So enjoy your unique look into my personality....

OK so first we will start off with the most obvious ((this would be for anyone)) FOOD! So I choose to start off my list with Cheesecake. I could eat a slice of cheesecake every day of my life....but I would feel **guilty** ((or fat)) because 582.09 calories per serving....but I would still eat it every day if I could....**no like seriously**

Second....Making fun of people who wear stuff that makes you want to say... "No what in the hell were you thinking?" I mean seriously come on people... I will be the first to admit that it is usually girls who make the "bad wardrobe decisions" Take for instance this girl in the picture... Your first reaction was WHAT THE DEUCE.... **don't lie....liars are bad** but come on!!! Who wears a RED beanie with a GREEN & GREY strip shirt a PEACH skirt and BROWN cowboy boots.....yeah some one needs to put her on the show....um... What NOT to wear!!!

Third....filling out online quizzes....like on facebook and myspace...I know people don't read that crap ((and they probably don't read this blog either))...but its fun and time consuming for me....and yes I do read other people's quizzes because if they are going to put it out there...then I want to know!!

Fourth.....Fake finger nails....they cost so much...and they are flammable and they hurt ((like HELL)) when they break off....but I still LOVE to get them...they make me feel more feminine...I know that stupid...**to each their own**

And for my final guilty pleasure ((its a long one so don't hold your breath)).... Going to a concert on a work night and getting totally plastered and then having to **try** to function at work then next day....I don't really need to explain this one i guess.......

So now you know a little bit more about this wonderful girl who's crazy blogs you read every day!

What is it with Texans and their pride??

So....it was brought my attention to day by a fellow blogger **random shout out to Musecatto ((from The RGC....great blog you should check it out))** that we Texan's are very....um what is the word....oh yeah full of PRIDE....And I guess why shouldn't we be"??? After all we are the biggest state....and we have the most beautiful women **listen to the David Allen Coe song "Texas Women" and it is true...the end** Anyways....so here is my random list of why I think Texas is the best state and that entitles us Texan's to all our pride......

First....we are known mostly for being "cowboys" and "cowgirls"....this may help explain a little of it.. The King Ranch ((which coincidentally has a truck named after it)) in Texas is bigger than the state of Rhode Island....so not many states can say that ((actually I really don't know if any other states can say that))....but I think that's where the stereotypical "cowboy/cowgirl" thing comes from....in a sense....but more importantly it contributes greatly to the Texas Pride Factor

Second....We own guns and we hunt....why?? Texas boasts the nation's largest heard of whitetail deer....and because its what we were raised to do....so if something like...aliens attacked....or zombies were running ramped....or robots took over....then at least we'd be able to survive...**listen to David Allen Coe "A Country Boy Can Survive" ((a Texan's theme song))**

Third....Of course I have to give a shout out to my beautiful city **Austin** ....Austin is considered the live music capital of the world...Austin has TONS of live music venues and most of them are FREE!!! I remember when I was in college I went to a coffee shop off Guadalupe and would pick the free concert posters off the wall and see a free show EVERY NIGHT OF THE WEEK!! Living in Texas and knowing you can see just about ANYONE in concert is just an awesome concept to me ((a lover of live music))...and it also adds to the Texas Pride Factor

Fourth.... The first word spoken from the moon on July 20, 1969 was Houston....That's just bad a$$.

Fifth.... Texas includes 267,339 square miles, or 7.4% of the nation's total area....so in all actuality...those shirts that say **Everything's bigger and better in ___((enter you state here))** are lying....cuz Texas is Bigger and Better.....

Sixth....Chuck Norris lives here.

And Last but MOST CERTAINLY not least....Texas was an independent nation from 1836 to 1845 ...and we are also the ONLY state that can legally secede from the Nation....**enough said**

These are just some of the things that I personally think is why Texan's Have A LOT ((probably an understatement)) of pride. But we also have BIG hearts and yes...while driving down the road...Texan's do tend to wave **we aren't crazy...we are awesome**

**God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long**

Online Dating

Is it always a friend of a friend that has a friend that found true, ever lasting love on the internet? Well that's a load of crap!!

I've tried the whole internet dating thing...doesn't work. It's to easy for people to lie. Almost too easy! I've been on a few dates and here's how they went...

The first guy completely LIED about his height. I am a very tall woman...5'9" ((and that pushing it))! He had to be less that 5'6"! But I didn't judge right away...because that not my style. So we went on a few dates and later found out he had a kid! Which is fine...but what the deuce!!! Why didn't you tell me about it sooner!! **Moving Along**

Date number 2...Yeah didn't even look like his picture! I was totally attracted to him!! We talked on the phone for 2 weeks before we met just because I'm not going to go run out to meet a guy off the internet without knowing ANYTHING about them! We even stayed up ALL NIGHT one night! And then we met....um yeah...wow....and I think I'm going to leave it there **NEXT!!**

Date number 3...HAHAHA...this one made me laugh all the way home...like are you serious? We met at Trudy's ((restaurant in Austin, TX)) and had cocktails....and he made me very uncomfortable...but he was the first guy that looked like his picture...yeah and then we weren't clicking I decided to end the date...cuz there was no point if we didn't have anything to talk about right? So yeah he walked me to my truck and I was like truthful with him and he said ((and I quote)) "Do you wanna have sex?" ARE YOU f***ING KIDDING ME!! I shut my door and drove off. **Last Date**

ANd the last guy I met...wow I thought I hit the nail on the head. He was cute, proffesional and eclectic ((and a great kisser)). We went on a series of dates...and then we explored other options...ya know **wink wink**...and then....................I NEVER heard from him again...that was it...and we hit it off!! He even said we hit it off!! What the duece man!

So I've given up on online dating. Doesn't mean I haven't looked...but I mean seriously it's not worth it!

That is my advice to you...online dating is WAY over rated...don't try it...the end...you will set your self up for failure everytime! Guys are slime already right??((well most of them but not all of them))...Just slow down...take a long look at your life...make sure your happy...find a hobby!! And love will find you!! But you WON'T find it on the internet...I can promise you that!
