I have a feeling many would find these hideous:

But I think they'd look fabulous on my feet.

This is touching:

"When I was about twenty years old, I met an old pastor's wife who told me that when she was young and had her first child, she didn't believe in striking children, although spanking kids with a switch pulled from a tree was standard punishment at the time. "But one day when her son was four or five, he did something that she felt warranted a spanking--the first in his life. And she told him he would have to go outside and find a switch for her to hit him with. The boy was gone a long time. And when he came back in, he was crying. "He said to her, 'Mama, I couldn't find a switch, but here's a rock you can throw at me.' All of the sudden a mother understood how the situation felt from the child's point of view: that if my mother wants to hurt me, it makes no difference what she does it with; she might as well do it with a stone. "The mother took the boy onto her lap and they both cried. Then she laid the rock on a shelf in the kitchen to remind herself forever: never violence. Because violence begins in the nursery--one can raise children into violence." ~From a peace prize acceptance speech given by Astrid Lindgren, author of Pippi Longstocking

I've been guilty of the hunger piss pants before ;)

I found this to be very comical:

“That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.” - CB

I just really love this song

And therefore, I shall name it my new karaoke "go to".



Long live the 80's!

My Cardies brought it HOME

In the end of August, the Cardinals were down 10 games to even make it to the post season games. Lets just say that they were expected to have a dismal season. Of course, the rants about the incompetency of Tony La Russa started, followed by Albert Pujol's over-inflated salary began.
The Cardinals team brought those moans and groans to cheers and chants as they became America's true Dream Team. The underdog in not only the WS game, but also they playoffs, they came out Top Dog.

Congratulations to the 2011 World Series Champs...the St. Louis Cardinals baby!

Simply stated, yet very powerful. To me, it represents that Steve Jobs will forever be at the core of Apple.

I think I might've posted this before, but I really love it.

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” -Steve Jobs

Daily obsession (of the day)

Admittedly, the video is dark and seemingly taken straight from RiRi and Eminem; however, the actual song and Adele's voice pretty much makes that A-O-K.

Last year, I ran into my old Miami roommate at a restaurant opening in New York City. I hadn't seen her in years and was so shocked to run into her! In part because she is from Toronto, I am from Missouri, and we both were just floating around Miami, when we unexpectedly reunited in midtown Manhattan.
Throughout those years I had lost touch with her, she married an amazing artist, Peter Tunney. PT had his opening party last night in Tribeca and it was a smashing hit! His work is unique and I love it. Here's one that captured me:

Just when you thought we'd learn from our overspending ways...

We learn that the President of Rwanda, who is in town for the UN meeting, has decided to stay in a $16,000.00 per night hotel. The irony of that? The average household income in his country is $1,106.00 per annum.
