Back...Back...Back

Wow...I haven't been bloggin' much. But that's all about to change. But I have good news. I got a laptop! And a new laptop means NEW BLOGS. Wait, no. New AND frequent blogs! New, frequent & entertaining blogs!

Starting with the next blog. I have other stuff to take care of right now...

"You screwed up" - By Mike

Ok, this is a rare occasion. I'm posting something NOT written by yours truly and instead posting a blog written by one of my dearest MySpace friends. He really spoke the truth in this one. So much so, I wanted to print it out and put it on a few vehicle windshields. (But I won't...LOL)

And check out Mike's MySpace by clicking above on the blog title and ADD him! Also, check out his website, mikeink.com that is packed with hilarity by way of comments, pics & layouts!
It's over there ----------> in my LINKAGE section.
And now...Mike's blog:


--------------------------

Ok so here's what I don't get.

The nastiness. The ease with which people let racist and offensive comments fall out of their mouths about Barack Obama. So many people in my opinion who look away from the negative things they may have done, too cowardly to face the mistakes they may have caused by voting for the wrong president in the past.

John McCain lost this election because he assumed American women were so shallow that if he tossed a female into the ring anyone with a vagina would vote for him. Why aren't all the loud mouthed finger pointers screaming their frustrations about John McCain's GIGANTIC misjudgment? That is why he lost. If he had chosen Mit Romney he probably would have won.

If you were a decent person you'd be disappointed in your candidate for making a really bad decision. But you can't admit that. You aren't a fair person. You can only now express your disgust for the candidate that won because your team lost, and for good reason.

Your team lost because you put George Bush into the White house......twice.

The truth is many people in this country are afraid. If you are straight and white and moderately well off financially, then you have never had to question otherwise. The ONLY thing that makes you nervous is when people who are not exactly like you want a fair shake.

What might that mean to your lifestyle?

There are people who are different. There are different beliefs and cultures. Not everyone is Christian.

Ask yourself this honestly. Are you respectful of people who are different or do you insist that they follow your rules and social behavior? How do you feel about people who are not Christian? Do you feel you have the right to insist they live by your beliefs? Are you truly a kind and compassionate person or do you pretend to be, saying please and thank you because it's what good people do?

After the past eight disastrous years how can anyone who participated in creating this mess honestly have the nerve to tell anyone who they should vote for?

John McCain didn't just lose, he was SLAUGHTERED. Because Americans are sick of the same old bullshit. Point your angry little accusatory fingers at yourselves because YOU created this mess. If a Democrat in office makes you angry, have the courage to admit that is was because you made the horrible mistake that swayed Americans in the other direction.

Til it's gone...

I refuse to take a step back. Mom always said that the past is the past for a reason and should be treated as such. If I made a conscious decision to let something go, there is no logical reason to allow it back into my life.

If you are at peace, don't negate your own feelings to spare the feelings of someone else.

Love those who love you...and appreciate the experiences you've had, but remember they are just that: EXperiences.

"On and on we seem to go...but you don't know what you've got til it's GAWN..."

Alot of my former friends reach out to me...and I can't help but think twice before shutting them down. Guess that's the sensitivity of a Cancer in me...

But, as I've gotten older, and matured...I've stopped allowing people to use me and it has become easier to say: "It's too late...."

Paris Hilton for President

I put Paris Hilton in the same category as "New York" from Flavor of Love. (MaiTye's Guilty Pleasures) I am highly entertained by some of the things they do, but usually i'm just like "HOW/WHY is she famous??".

I was entertained by this vid-yo.

To die or not to die? - The Death Penalty

So i'm sitting here watching CNN with the hubby and the subject matter isn't great at all. Some a-hole raped, beat & murdered two teenage girls 15 years ago and he's scheduled to be put to death in Texas...TONIGHT.

Here's the thing: 10 years after he was convicted, he decides to tell everyone that he's a mexican national. (Whatever that means)----(Wait, I did some research!) Basically, this means that this jack@ss was entitled to access the mexican consulate after he was arrested and because he was denied that access, his attorneys argue that Texas should allow him to have a new trial. But, the thing is: Neither the rapist-bastard or his attorney ever told ANYONE that he was NOT an american! To me, it seems like folks are just trying to save this sadistic bastard from dying tonight and nothing more. Gee Dubya even tried to pull his presidential card in an attempt to save this guy, but because the Supreme Court upheld the ruling...the state of Texas replied(loosely quoted): "With all due respect, Mr.Prez...you have no jurisdiction here." I love it!!!

Any opinions on the death penalty? As if you can't tell from the tone of this blog, i'm a STRONG believer in "Let the punishment fit the crime." In my opinion, the punishment FITS.

If you don't agree...chew on this: This a-hole bragged about the rape/murders to his friends and even showed off a Mickey Mouse watch belonging to one of the victims.

Invisi-Vlog Update

Update - 7/16 from MaiTye on Vimeo.

Friends....How many of us have them?

I am disappointed in my friends right now...

Like...seriously...

Why, you ask?

Because no one told me that NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK came back!!!!

Can we say AWESOME???!!! I know i'm not the only one that crushed on Donnie(middle).

Love, Hate & Indifference

You know what I hate?

When someone points the finger at you without realizing that they need to look at themselves and make some changes.

When someone doesn't realize they aren't as smart as they'd like to think, yet they treat you as if you lack intelligence in comparison. (My intelligence and/or your lack thereof isn't debatable)

When someone refuses to be accountable for their own actions.

The fact that I haven't blogged since 4/5/08.

You know what I love?

My inherent ability to completely detach from emotional strain...

Positive reinforcements.

New beginnings & second chances.

My wonderful, understanding husband & family.

You know what I'm indifferent about?

The fact that I have ended what was once an awesome friendship.

How I am perceived by those who don't directly affect my life, heart and/or finances.

-------------------------------------

That's all...I know...it's been damn near 2 months and this was the best I could do? Yep. Get over it. =)

Like OMG...I so don't wanna pack

We don't even have THAT much to actually PACK, per se'...since we came to Vegas in my car with just clothes and essentials...(computer & gaming system = essentials)

It is NOW that I regret selling all of our furniture because I don't wanna have to BUY a shitload of stuff all over again. But that's ok. I'm still EXCITED! And you can expect a video of me walking around the empty condo VERY SOON. Anyhoooo...this blog is pretty silly, as it is merely another attempt at stalling on the packing that I DO need to finish...

I will go now.

To MySpace...then Twitter...then MaiTye.tv...then Yahoo Mail...and then...

I will pack.

Appreciate...

I think it's the only child in me that has the need to be #1. By #1, I mean...if I cut for you...I need to always feel like i'm #1 in your world. Not in relation to my friends, because that's childish...but when it comes to matters of the heart, if at any point I don't get the feeling that you consider me a priority...I drift away. Where do I drift? That remains to be seen.

One thing i've been learning lately is that change, while difficult, is inevitable and it's up to us to decide if we want to embrace it or fight it. I'm tired of fighting it and I want to do what's right for myself and my future.

No one person can possess EVERYTHING you need, for that would make them perfect. And because I am riddled with my own imperfections, I must be cautious when I begin to belittle someone because of thiers. Seeking perfection will lead to disappointment, and in actuality...the closest thing to perfect for me...has already been found. Sometimes all it takes is a little dose of reality which one can be injected with at any given moment. I had several injections of reality this week. And while the injections were more than likely unintentional, the prick of that hypothetical needle didn't go unnoticed. As I've stated in several blogs, all things happen for a reason and I believe the changes going on in my world right now will be OH SO BENEFICIAL.

Anything worth having takes WORK. So sometimes we have to roll our sleeves up and MAKE it do what it do. I'm thankful that I haven't waited too late.

Just because...

I was having a discussion today with a few coworkers about children and how parents choose to raise them. One of the coworkers mentioned that a person who doesn't have kids should basically shutup when it comes to discussing the matter. I found that to be hilarious.

Why? Well...becoming a parent doesn't always make one an "authority" on child-raising. In fact, that theory could be applied to many things in life. I've never been a police officer, so I can't speak on how I feel about police officers. I've never flown a plane, so God forbid I voice an opinion on pilots drinking and flying. Hey wait! If someone has never been married then by all means, they should STFU when discussing marriage!! Yeah...sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? If we only had opinions on things we had actually experienced what a bland existence this would be!

In any case, one could easily watch the news or perhaps Nancy Grace and get a dose of reality when it comes to parenting and the lack of "spontaneous parental abilities" that some may think producing children provides. There are people that have numerous children who FAIL at parenting. There are people with one child that FAIL at parenting. There are kid-free family members who step in to raise these "parents" children and SUCCEED, so how is it...I wonder, that they do so? Who's to say that people without children have no insight into child-raising? If nothing else we can reflect on some of the things our parents did while raising us, understand how those things may have positively or negatively affected us and possibly form opinions on the matter. I guess child psychologists and Nanny's aren't actually good at what they do until they reproduce. (Did Dr.Spock have kids? I read somewhere that he didn't and people bought the SHIT outta his books!) I guess creating a small being in your likeness really IS next to Godliness, as some people think they are high and mighty just because they've done so.

Wow...my fingers were on a roll there...LMAO. In closing...I just think it's absurd to discredit someone's opinion because they had the foresight to THINK about what was best for them and NOT to bring another life into this world. In fact, I'd venture to respect someone a thousand times more for the fact that they didn't haphazardly reproduce knowing they weren't ready or fully capable of providing a BETTER life for their child than they had themselves. Accidents happen. Those accidents should not be children.

Ah well, that's my kid-free opinion...it may not mean shit to some, but it's worth a shitload to me and I HAD to get it out. That, my readers, is what MaiTye-Uncut is all about. Woooo-Saaaah.

MaiTye OUT.

Partial determination = Partial success

I haven't been working out(technically...LOL)...and I still don't eat COMPLETELY the way I should. In fact my idea of heading toward a healthier lifestyle meant replacing my Sausage McMuffins with french toast sticks OR skipping breakfast altogether. OR, eliminating SODAS and sticking to juices, teas and water. BUT, I am CERTAINLY not drinking 8 glasses of water a day. While I have limited myself to turkey, chicken & fish since 1/1/08...I still have to FORCE myself to increase my veggie intake. I do eat alot of fruit, however I could still be doing MORE to "bring sexy back in '08".

The title of this blog is referring to the aforementioned paragraph and the fact that as of TODAY, I have lost 4 pounds and gone down 1 size in my clothing. Imagine how MUCH more of a difference I would see if I REALLY TRIED. I'm way too indifferent in my approach, yet I KNOW where I want to be...so it's time to crank it up a notch.

I'll keep you posted!

3/15/08 - Randomosity

Too much of you isn't enough. I can't explain what it is that you do to me, but I know that you bring something out in me. What that is, I don't know. But...I love it. Do I love you? Without a doubt I do. Enough of you? Never. There should be a million of you. I'd never get tired of meeting you. Greeting you. Explaining to you that I'm needing you.

My addiction...you are. I breathe peacefully when i'm with you. Dream of seeing you when i'm without you. Always thinking about you. You...make me weak but these feelings are strong. I've said too much...I won't go on.

Post-packing Randomosity

Welp...I finally finished packing. I'm such a procrastinator. I'm going to visit my FAVORITE cousin 2morrow and it is LONG overdue! To say I moved back to the west coast all the way from Tex-ass in JULY, I certainly haven't seen enough of my peeps. And the ones that I have seen, well hell...I haven't spent as much time with them as I would have liked.

In ANY case, i'm really excited about seeing my cousin and his fam. We're more like brother and sister than cousin and I really admire his drive and determination. So, I guess...maybe we AREN'T like brother and sister because I'm a total slackass. LOL

Good work day today...filled with hilarity and I even took a pic featuring the awesome "fist under chin" business pose that Uncle Rico also used in Napoleon Dynamite.




You can pretend it isn't awesome if you want to. You'll be fooling no one aside from yourself.

Anyhoooooz...I was just kinda bored, and the hubby was watching the Laker game, so I said to myself: "Self, why dontcha BLOG a bit? Tell your readers that you're gonna be outta town and therefore not as accessible via the internet as usual." And as you can see...I followed my own advice! Lucky for you.

I've gotten a few emails asking why I don't enable comments on this blog. Welp, I don't want to. This blog isn't so much for interacting...I use my MySpace blog for that. I tend to at least ATTEMPT to entertain my friends when I post on MySpace, however this blog...if you haven't noticed yet, is chock full of nonsensical ramblings. It's UBER therapeutic for me to just type whatever I happen to be feeling at any given moment and that's why I don't want or need to enable the comments. I do welcome and appreciate the emails you guys send me though.

I can always be reached @ the following addresses:

maitye8479@yahoo.com
maityedottv@yahoo.com

And by all means, click the maitye.tv link at the top ^^^^ or right. ------->

That's pretty much it for now. My eyelids are actually getting heavy, so I guess I've rambled enough! Toodles. =)

Regrets...

How many things have you done in your life that you actually REGRET? I mean, think about it. If I had to answer that question...I'd say none. Realistically...absolutely NONE. I know that seems impossible, so allow me to elaborate.

I've made PLENTY of mistakes in my 28 years on this earth. All of which I have learned from. And if I hadn't made the mistakes, I wouldn't be as swift as I am today. Therefore...I have no regrets. For every action, there is a reaction. And for every bad decision, we learn how to make better decisions in the future. I'm a graduate of the S.O.H.K (School of Hard Knocks). In fact, I have a Masters Degree. What that means is that sometimes I deliberately make a mistake with the sole intention of learning from it. Crazy...I know.
