I'm moving!

Ok, so not literally to a new location, just moving the location of my blog! And also going to be changing the look and feel of things. What I have now is temporary until I can find more time to move more posts over and tweak the look of things a bit more. I'm pretty excited and hope to be able to update and post more now that I am on my own subdomain. WOOT! So please come check it out! http://pipskweek.2one8.com/

I changed the name also, but this will still have the rants from my open mind :D

PipSkweek is a nickname my amazing sister gave me forever ago and thought since I want to write about random things I like and enjoy, and of course, things that piss me off lol, I figured I should personalize it a little bit.

Please let me know what you think!!

Thank you!

What is wrong with US?

A string of attacks in the U.S. in the last month left 44 people dead in all.

A gunman killed 10 people and himself in Samson, Ala.; shootings that began with a traffic stop in Oakland, Calif., left four police officers and the gunman dead; an apparent murder-suicide in Santa Clara, Calif., left six dead; and a gunman went on a rampage at a nursing home Sunday, killing seven elderly residents and a nurse who cared for them. "

44 lives are lost, 44 families are still mourning the lose of someone they loved, and that is just in one month! What is wrong with people?? And why do they take the lives of others? Of people they don't even know! It makes me sick, every day on the news its always another sad fucking story, kids shooting up schools in other countries, its always violence and murder... WTF?!

I hate going out in public, for a few different reasons. 

1. No one pays the fuck attention to what they are doing. - they are all wrapped up in their cell phone conversation and their own little bubble to possibly consider the person you just cut off, or the fact that you're going 30 in a 45. People need to pay attention and realize they're not the only one in the mall, grocery store, driving on the street, anywhere. It's called manners and consideration and its obviously something NO ONE is teaching their kids anymore. 

2. Everyone is in a hurry! Seriously... I do the speed limit because I can't afford a speeding ticket! And I leave early enough that I don't have to hurry. I hate being rushed, I hate being late. My class starts at 8 am and I leave before 7:30 and live not even 3 miles from my school. Traffic is hell after 7:30 and its full of everyone in a hurry to get to work. if its 40 mph I'm not going to go over 45. I don't want to get pulled over, that will make me late, plus cops camp the same spot almost everyday so no, I'm not going to speed up even though you're on my ass. Go around, and kiss my ass while you're at it. 

3. People need to GET OVER THEMSELVES! Ok so, you're walking in a store and someone damn near misses your grocery cart because they don't have the decency to look where they are going and realize they're not the only one in the fucking store. People have no regard for anyone, its like you expect everyone to be cautious and watch out for you and you just go along as you please, w/ no regard for how you're treating people around you. 

I strongly believe smiles are contagious, I wish I could say the same for kindness. Everyone has problems, and places to be, and things to do, not just you. So slow down, and maybe smile for once, hold the door open for someone if you meet them at the door. Let someone go ahead of you if you meet them at an intersection. Everyone seems to be so pissed off all the time. Don't get me wrong, life fucking sucks, but that doesn't mean you have to let it effect you, because you don't know how you effect someone else. It's sad to say that a lot of all this is because of horrible parenting. Parents that didn't take them time to teach their kids true values in life, and manners, and respect. I don't have to know you to respect you. I lose respect for you when you disrespect anyone, including yourself. I can only hope that one day there might actually be somewhat peace on earth, where we can all just get along and just..

Sorry for the long delay

Man its been forever it seems since I've wrote. I really haven't had much to say, I've been really busy with school and work.

I recently watched 2 good documentaries. One was Super Size Me:



I have to say I have not thought about eating McDonalds since I watched this in my digestive system class LOL. If you don't watch all of the movie, at least watch this quick video that was an extra feature.




The other one I watched was Murderball. It was really good, these are some bad ass guys, lol.




Well I hope you enjoy these 2 documentaries as much as I did. Let me know what you think :)

Take Care

Men's Rules

I came across this just now and had to share it. I thought some of it was pretty funny. Enjoy and if you think its missing one, leave a comment and I'll add it to the list lol. Thanks!


Women, learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not considered by us to be opportunities to see if we can find the perfect present again!

Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.

Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

Don't cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you're stuck with her.

Ask for what you want. Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

We don't remember dates. . . .Period!!

Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?

Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. We've been tricked before!!

If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic.

You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.

The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your girlfriends.

ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.

If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing", we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.

Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it's Bruce Lee or some war flick where it doesn't really matter what they're saying anyway.)

BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.

So yet another year begins... and we are 1 year closer to the end of the world. For those of you going... wha? Check out this site. There are quit a few theories from prophets and such that on 12/21/12 the world will end. Some theories believed are: Planet X will collide with the earth, there will be a polar shift, another is that there will be natural disasters that will basically fuck the place up. There are many other people that have 'predicted' this as well, the Mayans, Nostradamus, even Albert Einstein. I am not the most knowledgeable person about this subject so I am just posting this to get the information out, that our time on earth might be not be as long as we all would think or hope. History channel has came out with a video on it HERE. So check this stuff out, it can start to make you think. Anything is possible...


Also, remember to check out my other blog, it has some great videos :)

Thanks everyone! Hope 2009 brings you nothing but happiness!
Take care. ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪

Check it Out!!

I made a bad ass playlist! lol its at the bottom of my page, for some reason you might have to scroll aaaalllllllllllll the way down for it to start, but I think its pretty bad ass. It has some of my favorite songs by my favorite bands/artist. Some new stuff mixed with some old and some heavy mixed with some soft. Hopefully this has music that interests others also and they'll come back to listen to it :) I know my blog isn't much now, I'm trying to think of some great posts to write. For some reason I've just have had one massive brain fart lately lol.

Well, we get to pick up our car from the mechanic tomorrow. Well, since its 2 am, today. I'm pretty excited. We have a 92 licoln continental (yeah I know) lol it was my dads and when I totalled mine he gave me his, he rocks. It's actually a pretty smooth ride... well was lol. We just got the power steering and radiator fixed. But still have some work to do lol. This is what is left on our check list of what needs to be fixed:
- heater core
- ignition
- brakes
- usually the hood stays up by itself, but not anymore, gotta get that fixed
- the drivers side seatbelt doesn't always like to work, i have to flip it over for it to work
.....ummm lets see what else
- oh the DCL or dash basically, its all electric and it fucking BEEPS repeatedly at times to let you know something is wrong. The dash is cracked where my dad beat the shit out of it to try and get it to quit beeping lol
- the cd player in the radio doesn't work either for some reason
and I think thats it, except we need new windshield wipers lol
but that is it... for now

Its a pretty pimpin ride tho lol. I'm just glad I'm finally legal, after my wreck my license was suspended (oops) so I had to drive around and hide from cops, but thankfully we seriously drive it like twice a week and that is usually across the street. For awhile our tag was bad too and we didn't have insurance. But I guess you can say life is looking up because it is completely legal for me to drive now :) and I paid my fines. WOOT
Now to just fix the damn thing.
This is what I did to my beautiful, amazing cobalt *facedesk*

Oops.

Fuck that really sucked too. And if you notice the guy that hit me, the truck, yeah had barely any damage! Fucker. But ever since I'm scared to death of left turns, I will drive around the block to not make a left turn on a busy street. It freaks me out! It was my first wreck and thank God I didn't get hurt. The firemen and cop told me if it would have been a little more back or forward I could have rolled or got really hurt. Ugh, that was one of the worst days of my life!

But you live, you learn. And boy did I learn my lesson lol. Now I get made fun of by my lovely passenger Geno for driving like a grandma, but oh well.

Okay well its getting late and I'm getting tired. So night!

I think I'm going to put up the recipe I'm going to experiment w/. And let you guys know how it turns out. Nothing too amazing going on in this post. Just me buying time till I can go to sleep.

Support LOVE

I don't get it? Why? Why do this to someone? You give them the chance to finally let them share their love in marriage to only take it away. If you've ever experienced being in love, whether straight, gay, black, white, whatever it doesn't matter. There should be no restriction on love. It is something so special and so amazing that everyone should be able to have it and have the option to marry if they choose. Why take that away from someone? What does it matter to you? How is it hurting you to let others express their love through marriage? Seriously? This is so fucking irritating. WHO CARES? It doesn't cost you money for 2 men or 2 women to get married. It doesn't cost you a fucking thing to let to people share their love for one another.

This country has come far when it comes to equality, we get a step closer to actually being a UNITED States(Obama being first black Pres), but yet, this ban comes in place which just makes us more divided. What's next, because someone decides to share happiness w/ someone of the same sex they're not going to be able to eat at certain places? I mean come on. Oh it bothers you to see 2 men holding hands, and lord forbid they kiss in front of you. Well fuck you, it makes me absolutely sick to see you at all. How does that make you feel? Or better yet, I hate to see you kiss your loved one and express your love for one another. Feel shitty yet? You should. Why keep happiness from someone? Especially when it really doesn't effect you in any way. 2 people should be able to express love for each through marriage, no matter the age, race, sex, or anything. It doesn't matter. Love is love. Something so amazing has these restrictions. 'Oh, you can't get married because you love another woman.' What kind of country are we?

Someone said that because Obama won presidency that our country is just going to be more divided. I said yeah, if the you let it. We don't have to be, the people of America CHOOSE to be divided. Because they can't get over themselves, and have too much pride. I don't know how, I'm not proud of this country. We've been going downhill for years. Call me unpatriotic I don't give a fuck, I don't hate American's, I hate our gov't. The people fucking us over. The people that will do something like 9/11 and use it to get us into a bullshit war. I support our troops all the way, but not this fucking war. We're rebuilding a country that has enough of its own money to rebuild itself. It's time to bring our troops home and rebuild OUR country. The country people dream of living in... I don't see how now. We have to go into debt to stay alive unless you have top of the line health insurance. Even if you do, the insurance companies will find loop holes and ways to make you pay. Its bullshit. We're one of the only countries that have to pay to go see a doctor and to see if we're going to live another 5 years. Its just completely ridiculous. And for those of you against socializing health care. GET OVER YOURSELF.

What if your loved one got extremely sick, but because they don't have health insurance, they can't go to the hospital without having to pay an ass load of money, and go into debt, just for someone to tell them what is wrong w/ them. Not to mention they'll probably have to wait 4 hours just to see someone. Wouldn't you want socialized health care then? So they can just walk into the hospital whether they have money or not and get proper treatment. It makes me sick that people are so selfish to basically not care if another human dies. Our gov't doesn't give a fuck, apparently a lot of our citizens don't either. People need to get over themselves and swallow their pride. I am hoping things get better in this country because of course, I have debt and I can't move the fuck out of here!

The Message

Love and Marriage





I have been thinking a lot lately about marriage. My boyfriend and I have talked about getting married, recently I have thought to myself, what exactly is marriage?

mar·riage
1.the social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments, religious ceremonies, etc.
2.the state, condition, or relationship of being married; wedlock: a happy marriage.
3.the legal or religious ceremony that formalizes the decision of a man and woman to live as husband and wife, including the accompanying social festivities: to officiate at a marriage.
4.a relationship in which two people have pledged themselves to each other in the manner of a husband and wife, without legal sanction: trial marriage; homosexual marriage.
5.any close or intimate association or union: the marriage of words and music in a hit song.
6.a formal agreement between two companies or enterprises to combine operations, resources, etc., for mutual benefit; merger.
7.a blending or matching of different elements or components: The new lipstick is a beautiful marriage of fragrance and texture.
8.Cards. a meld of the king and queen of a suit, as in pinochle.
9.a piece of antique furniture assembled from components of two or more authentic pieces.
10.Obsolete. the formal declaration or contract by which act a man and a woman join in wedlock.

People get married because they are in love right? But... the definition of marriage doesn't even have the word LOVE in it...
So I met this guy right, and shortly after we started seeing each other, I knew I wanted to marry him. Him being previously married, is in no rush, which I COMPLETELY understand. However, for me, its not about being married. I no longer have a desire to get married.

For me its the wedding and the symbolism of it. I want to be surrounded by close friends and family and just celebrate us, our love, and life together. I want to be given away by my father and put in the care of my man. I want to stand in front of everyone I care about and show them that I have met the man of my dreams, and the man I want to spend forever with. Signing a marriage certificate isn't important to me, people I love being happy for me, is. I don't care about wedding gifts, I want everyone to come and have a great time. So I'm not wanting to get married, or have a wedding. I want a reception lol with a small speech, and people having fun and being happy for US.

Zeitgeist



I watched a fucking awesome documentary last night. It's about the truth. The truth of our government and things that they don't want us to know. The best part was part 2, about 9-11. A horrible tragedy... planned? I apologize for anyone offended. Its information that we all need to know, and we need to realize the truth and quit believing the bullshit they feed us on the news. We're about to electing a new president but news stations and reporters think that talkin about Brittney Spears and Paris Hilton should be our top stories. Here is a reporter standing up for the fact that the top stories they want to report are bullshit.
Lets talk about the real reason we are in Iraq, lets talk about our presidential candidates so we don't elect a fucking failure to run our country.
After watching this documentary, I don't want to raise my children in this country. My patriotism has been shot. And I'm ready to move to Australia lol. So please watch the entire thing, I know its long, but well fucking worth it.

Political Bullshit

So I'm not big into politics at all really lol. But recently have been watching a lil more msnbc lol. I believe it was their economics advisors that were being interviewed the other day, I noticed that when Obama's was asked a question or addressed she would explain Obama's reasoning behind certain things and helped me understand more about his campaign. McCain's seemed to only knock down Obama's ideas and things the other lady was saying, Obama's advisor did a great job I think of defending Obama and promoting his campaign. A hell of a lot better than McCains at least.
Today when I woke up McCain was about to speak in New Mexico. When he finally does the first thing he starts talking about is quoting something Obama said and pointing out a contradiction that Obama said. What a hypocrite.
I'm thinking, I want someone to tell me why I should vote for them, not why I shouldn't vote for the other person. I also noticed... McCain has to have A LOT of neck pain for how often he looks down at his little piece of paper. Can he not address the crowd/camera's and the people listening. Obama looks around and is about making you hear listen to his ideas and reasons he should be elected. If he wants my vote so bad, he'd tell my why, and try to convince me to vote for him, not try to convince me not to vote for the other person. I don't know. It's going to be my first time to vote, I'm pretty excited, and pretty sure I'm voting Obama.

females suck....

I've always hated women. Even tho being one myself, I understand it doesn't make a lot of sense. I grew up in a small town, my graduating class was about 120. Since I started 1st grade there, I always had more dudes as friends than girls. I noticed the looks other girls gave me if I didn't have the newest shoes or jeans on, but I never got that from the guys. Middle school came and I began wondering if I'd ever get boobs like everyone else around me, all the girls got boyfriends, and I just had 1 boyfriend in 5th grade, I wasn't all about the boys, around that time my parents where going through a divorce, I guess you could say I didn't focus on things most girls my age did. I grew up at the lake and at the race track, not so much girly action going on there. Since I didn't blossom like other girls in middle school, and didn't wear everything they did, I wasn't in the popular crowd (and didn't really give a fuck), it was just me and my crew when high school hit, So by then I pretty much hated females.

Through my 4 years of hell in high school I had totally, 2 boyfriends. I later found out that it went around that I was a lesbian, because I didn't hang with all the girls, and never dated the losers I went to school with. I was in the high school band which of course didn't help my 'image' which I never cared about anyway. When I first hit high school I was really getting into music, and because of my appearance I got more shit, because I didn't wear what the other girls were wearing, I wore whatever was comfortable, usually jeans and a tshirt. I didn't chase after boys, I just hung w/ em, skipped school, and chilled w/ them in detention basically. Guys aren't complicated, they don't check the mirror 50 fuckin times a day, they don't talk about how that guys shoes doesn't match his outfit or whatever, they talk cool shit lol. Well I did finally get boobs, bigger than a lot of the girls I ended up graduating with (what now bitches lol)

Okay, so don't get me wrong, I did have some chick friends, my best friends Sarah and Misty really helped me find myself in high school. After graduation I have been back to that shit hole town only a few times to visit people that mattered to me. I mainly didn't get along w/ the girls I graduated with because sadly enough I knew a lot of them since first grade. So I came out of high school w/ a bad attitude toward other females, b/c the ones I went to were mainly spoiled, judgmental, and backstabbing.

After high school I ran into someone that I once considered a friend in high school at one point, until they literally quit talking to me... for what reason I'm not exactly sure, from what I can tell, I guess I wasn't good enough since she started to hang out with an individual that not only was just like described above, but her voice was like a 2 year old, and she would whine all the fucking time. So shortly after graduation (she actually dropped out like a few months before) a friend, that was still friends with her, for some reason brought her to my house, and suprisingly enough she apologized, admitted it was shitty, she was a bitch, and said she missed me. I'm usually a pretty understanding/forgiving person, which was my downfall. I went w/ her and my other friend to her b/fs house, and partied. This is where the summer after graduating starts to slip from me. We hung out... all the time, and partied. I was just out of a relationship so hell yeah I was all for it. Since I was out of high school and the relationship I was just ready for a less drama filled life, because as much as we try, we can't escape the high school drama. So long story short, my 'friend' ended up living w/ me and when we realized summer was half was over and we needed jobs, we went to the local amusement park, and we were hired on the spot.

Fast forwarding about a month into this job, the 'friend' starts to date a coworker. Now, living w/ my mom is not bad at all, she pretty much let us do whatever, just didn't want us out until 4 am all the time, which I totally understood. But 'friend' however wanted to stay out all night w/ her new boytoy. So whatever we still hung out but she just wouldn't listen, I tried explaining to her that, if she wanted to still live there that she should be careful b/c I know my mom and she wouldn't hesitate to through her out if she is out all night and still barely putting in for bills etc. So my mom kicked her out, and she quit talking to me. We still worked together, even on rides right beside each other, and it took her some time to actually come talk to me. She tried to say she wasn't mad, but then never talked to me after that. That was...... summer 06. I started college that fall, apparently shortly after she was knocked up and now has 2 kids, lol anyway.

My college was mainly women, but had quite a few older women in some of my classes. I never really had issues w/ anyone in college except some crazy girl that my b/f's best friend was dating lol but thats irrelevant really. If we move to Decemeber, my friend from the army was in town now SHE is cool lol. We met at the previous summer job. So when she is in town we like to hit up the club and go dance. Now I have to say this b/c we were going in DECEMBER where it would be in the 20's in the evening and yet there are still girls walking around half naked! I dunno I guess I just don't get it b/c I didn't go to the club to pick up random guys, I just went to shake my thang lol. Well one night we went to a local pool hall called magoos and we were coming out of the bathroom and this guy stops my friend and we start talking. While we're talking I'm pretty much thinking I'm wasting time b/c they stopped my friend, not me, so no way am I gonna get asked anything. To my surprise, after getting asked a few normal questions like age, etc, he points at me and asks for my number, w/ a lil hesitance I gave it to him. I got a text the next day, and its been history since.

Now you might be wondering wtf this has to do w/ hating females, but hold on we're getting there. The wonderful man who asked me for my number is staring at me across the desk. <3 Now, hes a few years older, so he has more life experience... and an ex. Yeah, an x BITCH. I try not to wish death upon anyone, except her and 2 other people lol. But what I don't understand how someone could be so crazy. I know you're probably thinking well you've only heard his side, well that and his moms. Not going into details, but this woman is a horrible mother, and horrible person in general. I've never met her but she has taken so many things from me. I was told that she possibly could want to get in touch w/ me to me of my fiance, but I pray she does b/c I have so much to say to her, but in the end she's not worth it. I've come to realize the type of person she is, if she does get in touch w/ me, I know it will be just to try and piss me off and to leave my amazing man. But she has another thing coming. She has put him through so much shit he just doesn't deserve. So yet, my last, and recently main point of hating women. All I have to say to her, is what goes around comes around bitch, you'll get yours one of these days.

what is it about music?

I don't know about anyone else but music is fucking awesome in my opinion. I didn't really start to get into music until I was 13/14, but ever since its been a passion of mine. My first real awesome concert was when my mom took me to see Evanescence when I was 14. It was amazing. Evanescence is one of the first bands where I felt connected to the music. If anyone is like me they know what I'm saying. Here is I guess the main reasons for my love of music.

Photobucket

To me, that kind of explains it all. Music is expression, and most songs can tell a story. Whether its a story of love, hate, pain, or sadness, most songs can explain a lot if you just listen. Ever dedicate a song to someone because you just couldn't find the words to say what the song explains perfectly? lol. I just love the expression you can get from listening to some songs. Staind is one of my all time favorites, Aaron Lewis, is the king. His voice mixed w/ his lyrics, could make me cry if its the right song lol. I think its an awesome talent to be able to write something out, put music to it, and you can just feel the emotion w/ every word that is sang. So many times when listening to music I just zone out into the song. I'm not good at writing or expressing things w/ words, so for me to be able to connect w/ a song is just an awesome release.

There are songs I can listen to that just can take me back in time. One in particular is Into the Mystic by Van Morrison. I LOVE this song. My grandpa was a big Van Morrison fan and would listen to him a lot. I spent a summer at his house about 1 year before he died. This (listening to it now :D ) was the only song played at his funeral. It was a very sad day of course, and seriously this song gives me chills and tears almost every time I play it. Every time I hear it I remember him and everything about him, and it makes me sad b/c I miss him, but still just reminds me of how cool my g-pa was which makes me smile. For me I love how a song can capture that memory and emotion in it every time I hear it.

I listen to a variety of music, so for me, the ultimate deciding factors on if I like a song or not, are basically if its got good rhythm, maybe some good guitar shreds in there, if I can sing along, or headbang lol. The singer for me usually has to have a good voice, not always, but most the time. It sells a song for me if the lyrics follow the music and if the vocals are awesome, and real. I appreciate real talent, I have to say that I most likely would never go to a rap show, b/c from what I can see its the person and their 'crew' rapping along w/ the track, sure the main guy will do most of it while the crew throws in random 'uhs' and 'yeah' and occasionally will sing along w/ the track... Sorry I don't want to hear someone sing/rap over their own track... not too cool, just as if you were to lip sync.

There is nothing better than going to a show though. Nothing like being up front w/ the performers practically sweating and screaming in your face. I love the venue in my town called the Cains Ballroom. Its an old venue, w/ wood floors, that are spring loaded. You get enough people to jump it can be like a trampoline lmfao. But nothing like packing that place full of mother fuckers ready to rock out. The final touch for me is the live performance, if they sell it or not lol. I love the bands that get on stage and are just as ready to go crazy as you and that can just work the crowd. No one likes to just stand there staring at a stage of people standing in one spot, I don't think haha.

Well,
Thanks for reading!
