I hate having debt. Did you know that it’s actually a sin in the bible (I’m a Christian) to have sin? I didn’t know that until recently.
I mean, who invented debt anyways? I don’t mean who actually invented debt, but I want to know WHO thought it was a good idea to give someone temporary money to buy something that they can’t afford, and then make them pay additional money (interest) on top of that which they also don’t have, I mean WHO thought that sounded like a good idea? And why did people think that it was a good idea to get sucked up into that?
Why can’t people just be happy with what they have? No one is ever content. Society is in total constant competition with itself. It’s so weird. Why is there so much importance in things like clothes, cars, homes, etc. - I mean none of it means ANYTHING in actual life! When we die, we can’t take ANY of it with us, and having those items doesn’t make us any less or more of a good/valid person. If I don’t have the new current car or outfit, I couldn’t care less. But to some people, that is what is important and a lot of people get caught up in that.
And it’s like, it’s almost not even worth having a job now days. The Government takes a TON of your money for taxes and social security that I may not even get when I’m older because it may not even exist, and the more hours I work, the more money they take from me! There is almost no incentive for people out there that don’t have drive and morals. If I was a different type of person, I could live off the government and not work, and not do jack crap and still get money, just because that’s the type of country the United States is. They give lots of money to lots of people that do NOT deserve it. I don’t agree with it, but I COULD do that if I wanted. And I can’t say that I blame certain people that DO do that. The Government screws so many of us (including myself) so why not screw them back?
This blog was not intended to be a bash on our government-I am just upset that it seems like right now in our current economical state, either you are filthy rich, or filthy poor, there is almost no inbetween for ANYONE. And it sucks, and I just want to know why and how people got to be in these situations. WHY?

This Saturday, my husband and I are flying to Las Vegas, Nevada. I’ve been there a lot of times, but have never really had that great of a time. This time, however, we are meeting our friends that live in Cleveland, Ohio out there and staying in a room with them, so it should be a lot more fun. We are staying at New York New York which is my favorite hotel in Las Vegas. I’ve never actually stayed there, so this should be awesome. I am not going to do the tourist thing, since I have done it a thousand times, but my friends can all they want!
All I want to do when I get there is sit on the Penny slot machines, drink a few free beers, maybe play some Pai Gow poker if I can remember how, take lots and lots of pictures, and relax. Oh and eat at as many buffet’s as I can. In my opinion, Luxor has the best buffet but I haven’t had a chance to try every buffet in every hotel, and it’s been a few years since I had the Luxor buffet.
I have a feeling it’s going to be hot of course, but not as hot as it normally would be. It’s supposed to rain here in SoCal on Friday, so maybe some of that moisture and coolness will carry on to Las Vegas? Who knows. I can wish!
We are driving back on Sunday, all four of us in a car together. That part will not be fun at all. I hate driving, hate car trips, I just hate traveling all together. At least my friend will be with me so we can talk and stuff. I’m hoping the traffic won’t be as bad as it is on a normal Sunday, since Monday is a holiday- I’m hoping that Sunday will be like Saturday, so that Monday will be like Sunday, and we will catch a break. Otherwise it will probably take us around seven hours to get home Yuck.
As always, wish we me luck flying there. I hate to fly, thank god it’s only a 1 hour flight, and it’s non stop.

So I found a photographer that wanted to update his portfolio, and so today he shot me. I get copies of all of the pictures and in exchange, he gets to use them in his portfolio, and photoshop them or do whatever he wants with them. And that’s it! I was pretty excited because I’ve never done a photoshoot before. I wanted to get some updated pictures since I’m getting back into my music and stuff. Plus I may be a bit vain, I’ll admit it!
Anyways, we did it at this park in San Diego this morning and the weather was beautiful. So was the location! It’s a park I’ve never been to, and I guess people go there to hike, and to check out the scenery and nature and they also have historical things there, like an indian hut and stuff. There is a dam that’s made out of rocks or bricks, and a lot of the pictures were taken on that.
The water around the damn was pure green from the moss, so weird, I’ve never seen that before. It started to get pretty warm and muggy near the water toward the end, and my hair started to curl (I straiten it every day, it’s pretty wavy) so that sucked, but oh well. I’ve seen only eleven of the shots so far, and I think he took around 200. I cant wait to see all of them!
Doing the shoot was a lot harder thatn I thought it would be. It was hard for me because I’ve never done something like that before, so I was trying to think of different poses to do but couldn’t, and I kept asking the photographer what he thought I should do but he didn’t have many suggestions. He kind of just wanted me to be natural which was hard for me! I felt so geeky and dorky and awkward. I just hope he got the shots he was wanting to get for his portfolio. It was so cool that I got to do this though. I got some cool shots of me with my guitar for my music page (www.myspace.com/daynassongs) which is what I wanted, so I’m pretty happy.
I was pretty tired after though, the shoot took just over 2 hours. Worth it though!

I hate the snooze button on alarms. Whoever invented it must not have been in their right mind.
Every morning, my husbands’ alarm goes off at 4:30am. He’s not a morning person, so of course he must hit the snooze button at least ten times before getting out of bed. I AM a morning person so as soon as his alarm goes off, I’m awake. I don’t actually have to wake up until 6:30am, but because once I’m awake, I’m AWAKE, I am forced to get up when my husband’s alarm goes off.
Today I swear, he laid in bed until 5am and of course our cat Phyre was on the bed meowing and meowing, telling his daddy to get out of bed! I told my husband it just isn’t fair that I have to wake up two hours before my set time, just because HE wants to hit snooze. I never got back to sleep this morning, so I am SO freaking tired right now. Yuck. The coffee isnt working, and I’m still at work for seven more hours. I could cry!
They should invent a limit on snooze buttons… like make them stop working after you hit them 3 times. That would be ideal. Plus most snooze buttons postpone the alarm for nine minutes, but my husband’s phone alarm only does it for five minutes, I believe. So I think there should be a 15 minute rule. No more snoozes after 15 minutes. What do you think?

My husband and I are both sick. Oddly enough, we are not sick with the same thing. He has a general cold-sneezing, coughing, runny nose, stuffy nose, post nasal drip. I on the other hand have light headedness, upset stomach, post nasal drip and a slight ear ache. I wonder if our sicknesses are related at all. We both got sick around the same time. I mean I just wonder if maybe we might have the same type of sickness, but maybe it’s just affecting us differently? I wonder if that’s possible. I think it is because last November, my husband and I both had the flu. My husband was throwing up a ton, and was down for at least four days whereas I only threw up once, and was better in less than two days. But we both got it at the same time so it had to be the same thing. Right? I almost wish I had what he has right now than what I have. I feel like crap. I can barely do any work, I’m so tired, I can barely concentrate, and anything I eat is going right thru me and upsetting my stomach.

Weird how when life changes, it REALLY changes.
Very recently, one of my husbands’ friends found out that his girlfriend is pregnant. They are not married, not living together, and are both very young. I would hate to be in their position, how scary! Do they move in together? Do they buy a house? Do they keep the baby? Do they even stay together?
Then another one of my husbands’ friends said that him and his wife are getting a divorce. I don’t even think they’ve been married for one year yet. They were together for a lot of years previously but again they are both young, and I guess marriage just didn’t agree with them!
It’s very sad, all these changes, all at once, MAJOR life changes. I hate it. I like routine, I like things that are set and I like when I know what’s going to happen in my life. I do not like surprises and I hate the unexpected. Good luck to all of you going thru life changes like this!

I work for a magazine, and every other week is a deadline week, which means the inbetween weeks can be a bit slow. I’m at work right now, writing this blog. I hate being bored at work. If I could have a ton of things to do and be in over my head, I would feel so much better than to have my afternoons be so slow and quiet.
During our deadline weeks, I am totally busy, almost TOO busy sometimes but I welcome it. It makes the days go by more quickly. I almost get my only sense of accomplishment in life from my job, from how well I’m doing and how much I’m doing and how quickly I’m doing it. Is that bad/wrong/crazy?
I’m also into music which of course when I write or record something, I get a sense of accomplishment from that but it’s so much different at an actual job. Especially in an office environment.
I guess that’s why blogs are so awesome, I can ‘work’ while working

Yesterday my neighbor had a baby shower. It was not your typical baby shower though. My friend is not technically dating the mother of his baby, so this was a baby shower for HIM. It was his family and a bunch of his friends. He opened gifts, there were snacks, and lots of people and lots of beer. I planned to go for maybe an hour, but ended up staying for ten hours! He lives just on the other side of the wall (our apartments are connected), so I just planned to show up, say hi, give the gifts I bought and then go home. BUT, I guess I had a lot more fun than I planned! I haven’t been over to hang out with him and his two roomates in quite a long time, so after everyone started to leave, it was mainly just me and them and a couple other stragglers. If I was a guy, I would totally have a baby shower just like that. Mainly, it’s just an excuse to have one last big party before becoming a partent, but that is awesome. Why not do it like that?

Ok so last night my dad brought a date over to my house for dinner, and I made them dinner. It was their fourth date. So after they left, I went to bed and had a crazy dream. In my dream, Beth (my dad’s date) told my dad and I that she was a lesbian at one point, and my dad was NOT into that but he still liked her, so he kind of didn’t know what to do. He couldn’t decide if he should keep dating her or not. So then she asked me to go shopping with her. So we went somewhere with a bunch of stores and while she was in one store, I went out to my car and her x-girlfriend came up to me and somehow recognized me and my car and Beth’s purse inside the car, and started to freak out. Then Beth came out and was trying to avoid her and we got in the car and left. Then Beth told me she bought my dad a bunch of jewely like watches and stuff, and she expected my dad to want to ‘take it to the next level’ if you know what I mean, but in the dream I knew he wasn’t going to go for that. So then we got back to where my dad was and we were all hanging out. Then Beth had to leave so my dad walked her outside and Beth ended up proposing to my dad LOL. He said no, and then came back inside.
SO random and weird, I wonder why in the heck I would even dream that. We didn’t talk about marriage or lesbians or anything when they were here so it’s just funny that I would dream that. I really wish I knew more about dreams, like why people dream things, and what they mean, if anything. I always have felt that dreams have to mean something. Otherwise why have them?

Last night I had a dream that the compnay which I work for had to close down, and I ended up going to my boss, and her friend got me a job as a flight attendant. BUT it was for an airline which was for cats ONLY. It was like special clients that had to ship cats across the country, but the cats were like people, not treated as objects that were being shipped. I would do a few flights a day, and the airline just happened to be located in the parking lot where I worked, since it had been shut down. I also had to stay in the building where I worked before that used to be my old job, except it was empty and I lived in there with my boss, and her friend that got me the job, and her friends’ daughter. I had to keep my cat Phyre in my car to wait for me while I worked. I don’t know why he couldn’t go inside, very weird. And the dream didn’t go past the one day. So odd that I would dream about that though. An airline specifically for cats? Companies shutting down and turning into airports? Cats in cars? I had many more dreams last night, but that one just struck me as totally random and odd. LOL
