The Dreamer

I was in Urban Outfitters today and was walking around looking at mens t-shirts when I came across a graphic T that just set me over the edge. I'm in no way an ultra conservative, but I am so extremely sick of the Obama appraisal on every street corner, when this man has done NOTHING impressive in office thus far. 

The shirt had four photos, one of Clinton with the slogan "Smoker", one of Bush with the slogan "Spender", one of Nixon with the caption "Schemer", and one of Obama (the only president smiling and full of life) with the caption reading "Dreamer". 

This man is our president people!!! He's not an icon or a god. Politics and Pop Culture should not be interrelated in the least!

Burger Bus and "Up"

Apparently they are in their second week, and are already a total hit in Santa Barbara. By using social networking tools, The Burger Bus is effectively promoting their company by word of mouth. I heard about The Burger Bus from a friend and immediately found them on facebook to track their every move. Made with 100% grass fed, hormone free meat from a local butcher in town (Shalhoob Meat Co.) and farmers market fresh produce, this meals-on-wheels attraction is nothing like your typical dirty mexican taco van that spits out that obnoxious air horn tune to alert that it is nearby. The husband and wife team completely restored an old school "short bus" and installed a grill, refrigerator, and sinks. The food is excellent, served on fresh ciabatta bread with a choice of pickle or yam chips. Interesting. There is even a "CB&J" option...A hamburger with Jelly. I have yet to try that one, but I heard it is incredible. 

Also on the same day I saw the movie "Up". I must say that I was not eager to see this new Pixar movie, but was dragged along with my boyfriend and his mom. It was absolutely adorable! Probably one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. I've never felt so many emotions in a movie. I laughed, I cried, I laughed more, and I cried more. I MUST SEE!!!

Here is a lousy picture of the burger bus. Check them out!!! Theburgerbus.com

Chills of Sassiness Up my Spine..

Ok, This is just brilliant. 

I love the snow

I just got back from Mammoth with Matt's family. I'm not sure if it's because I grew up going to Mammoth, or that I just downright love snowboarding, but I had an amazing time  and it is so hard to get back into the groove of the real world. 

I'm still having trouble understanding how I escaped without any injuries from bombing down a buncha black diamonds, yet I managed to tumble down a flight of stairs on our last night there and brought back a severe bruise to prove it. 

Why do these sorts of nerdy injuries never seem to happen to anyone else? 

Sappy

I just wanted the world to know that I have the absolute best boyfriend in the world. Yes, he is a weirdo, but I think I've lost a handful of marbles myself. Since we started dating, he consistently brings me flowers each month. Today marks the 8th bundle of flowers I have received, and my room still smells like a gym sock. 

Other reasons why I really like my boyfriend:

-He remembers really insignificant things, like that I don't like Mustard on my sandwiches, or that I like a ton of sugar in my coffee. 

-He laughs at just about anything, and is known to talk to a wall if there is no one else around.  -He bought me a switchblade for my birthday, and tells me to have it in hand when I leave his house late at night and have to come home to the ghetto. 

-He once told me that if he could have one special power it would be to "know everything that Martha Stewart knows". 

-Because he is a substitute teacher and is so good with kids!

-When he can tell that I have lost a little weight he tells me that "real women have curves", and then stuffs chocolate covered pretzels in my face.

-When he laughs, his eyes get all small and squinty.

-Even after months of dating, he still insists on paying for everything.

I could go on but I don't want to make you barf. Just let me say one more thing! Most importantly I love my boyfriend because he is extremely trustworthy, and I know without a doubt he would never even think about doing anything that would hurt me. It is refreshing to know that guys like this are still out there. Don't fret! You'll find him when you least expect it! 

Butchered

I made an appt. on Tuesday to get my haircut at Paul Mitchell School because I had heard great things about it and they only charged $10 for a cut. The first obvious deterrent in this situation should have been the lipstick tube, scissors, blow-dryer and hairbrush that were tattooed all over my rookie's arms. Badass, dude.

I still don't know how or why she mistook "a half an inch, please!" for "pretend as if you were blindfolded and tripped down the staircase while holding a buzz saw, please!" 

I thought her tactic of luring innocent civilians into her death den was an egregious, yet rather stealthy (I must admit) way of promoting her lifelong destiny and dream. I know now that in order to fully attain my lasting aspiration of becoming an accountant, all I have to do is scribble some mathematical equations on my arms with a sharpie and my potential clients will kiss the ground I walk on!
