I am dating an absolute awesome man right now. He's so awesome that I can't even concentrate on tasks at hand. Not only that, but he is Latin and mucho caliente! For any of you non-speaking Spanish, that means "very hot"! It's so problematic that I'm mis-placing everything...my jewelry, my clothes, shoes, even food. I'm putting food that goes into the refrigerator in the wrong place, like in the cupboards with the dishes. I put my jewelry away in some forgotten drawer and not in my jewelry box. I feel this memory loss will be a long-term thing if I don't get to see him everyday! So, I text my room mate's boyfriend for her to tell him she is home, safe and sound...but, who do I send the text to....yep, you've got it...my honey! Yikes!! Yes, he wanted to know what the text was about, perhaps thinking I had another honey that was keeping a low profile!
Is there a pill I can take? What kind of pill can I take? So, will aspirin help, it being a blood thinner and all...well, maybe if I have thinner blood, the blood will make it to my brain and then maybe, just maybe I can sort the whole scenario out.
We met the beginning of July but actually started talking on the 4th of July, MySpace. He seeked me out through MySpace messaging only then, then we switched to IMing, not wanting to wait for those messages, we wanted the faster instant messages. He talked with me all night on the 4th of July, and from there, it's been nothing but fireworks ever since! Kind of appropriate for the situation, I may add. We've seen each other now 4 times, but those times have been nothing but caliente! We laugh, talk, laugh some more...well, you kind of get the whole gist. We're so much alike, it's almost like looking in a mirror, except the man and woman thing. We have everything in common such as loving Sci-Fy. So here I am the middle of August and I felt that "spark" like no other when we met the end of July. If it were possible, I would see him every single day. The entire "deep in like" thing though has illuminated a glow of sorts...so much so that every guy I run into is hitting on me..seriously. My room mate and I went to Costco and I was "hit on" by three different guys. That's amazing! Now that I'm deep in like with my latin guy, I could care less about any other guy out there.
Our first date, Cowboys and Aliens at a quaint theater; I walked to the theater, he met me outside. We hugged, then he asked if he could kiss me. Of course I said "yes"; we walked to the side of the building, he kissed me and I actually almost fell off my feet..yes, a real live swoon. I told him I was falling down and he held me in his strong arms. We had a makeup out session for awhile before the movie started like a couple of kids; two middle aged adults acting like a couple of teenage kids. Mmmmm, good kisser..the best!
Well, gotta run...I hear my computer calling right now!

Online "Friends" - Part 2 - Being "Unfriended"
In my last Blog, I spoke about online "friends" and how you are "befriended", sight unseen not knowing who really is on the other end. I wanted to continue with writing about online "friends".
In majority of the cases, they are faceless and void of all feelings and personality. You can't possibly know someone that has a couple of pictures posted up who messages and/or emails you, what their true character is like; if they are a caring or loving person, if they're psycho or sane.
Spending time with him (or her), going to the park, watching a movie like "The Note Book", having him console you while you're crying your eyes out with his arms wrapped around you while he kisses away your tears, won't happen. Until a computer is invented that provides us with the capability of touch, feel, smell, the personal factor is nil. This is all done virtually; is it the same? The answer, "no, it is absolutely not the same".
You may say something in a message that is misconstrued; he can't see your face, if you're playing or teasing, not knowing how your words maybe interpreted. This could cause hard feelings and then the big "I". If there are misunderstandings, this is where the ignoring you comes in, the old adage, "out of sight, out of mine" is much easier than facing that "friend". But it is torture, you see his picture in your list of "friends" everyday; it's almost too much to bear. You thought you knew him, but it's not real, he's a virtual "friend". Then the next thing you know, his picture disappears as well as his name; you've been "unfriended", "blocked" or to put it bluntly, you've just been "dumped" as their "friend". Instead of working through your problems and talking them out as real friends would, he's just deleted you as his "friend".
"Dumped", how ludicrous does that sound? How ridiculous does the whole friendship sound when you have no idea who you are dealing with? You never really were his friend anyway; it's someone on the other end of a computer or telephone who really doesn't give a darn about you. That's the realism and part of life in this world of automation. Pretty soon, if not done already, people will be getting married virtually. It sounds insane, but crazy enough that it's bound to happen!
Now I will go to bed, find my cat and dog, cuddle with them; after all, I can't cuddle with my "friend' through the computer now, can I?

Online "Friends" - Technology Has Us Choosing Our "Friends" Online
Here I am again posting on my new BLOG my feelings about so called online "friends".
When you call, text or email someone and they say they will call, text or email you back, you expect them to call, email or text you back, correct? The worst is being ignored as if you have gotten the plague or something along that line, and you don't hear a word, NOTHING! Or, you text or call someone and they just ignore you. Then they decide they want in your good graces once again when the "urge" to have their "friend" back and TA DA, out of the blue, here they are! Do you respond? Out of politeness and sometime sheer loneliness, and maybe a little curiosity, I do respond, an idiotic thing to do.
What about "friend"? When someone asks to be your "friend" online, does that mean they will give you a ride when you need one, be a shoulder to cry on when your online lover just broke up with you online, lend you $20, or tell you to change your clothes and comb your hair cause you look like crap that day? I think NOT! An online "friend" is someone sitting on the other side of another computer being who knows what, living who knows where, and maybe using 10 year old pictures of themselves or someone else's pictures entirely! Whoa, I knew I saw that guy's picture in an ad in Cosmo; magazine picture thief! My point being, you have no idea who this person is; they could be an axe wielding, psycho serial killer and you would never know. So, why do we write each other via email, text each other, or in some cases, talk to each other on the telephone? Would we go up to some stranger in Southern California (or anywhere for that matter) and say, "hey, would you be friend? "People would think you're a nut job out there on the streets losing your way after escaping from the "home". Better yet if someone asks to "friend" us, would we say "sure I'll accept your offer to be my friend, come on over to my life and learn everything about it?"
At least if we were doing it in person, we would have an idea of who or whom we are looking at (maybe more than one person sending you those "sweet nothings" on the Internet). This was something I was thinking about since I have met some real "winners" on the Internet that tell me how much they love and adore me, now will you send me money as my little baby girl needs surgery since she was attacked by gangsters who clubbed her little legs until they were broken up like twigs. Do they think I'm stupid? Are people that ignorant? Would you send money to some random person out there just because they've showered you with words of endearment, whispering in your computers proverbial ear via text, poetry, romantic notions or compliments of how stunningly beautiful you are (should have figured the person is lying with the "your beautiful" lie)? Enough about that people, but just watch your backs and DON'T BE SO DUMB!
I've been at this computer for two hours, my legs are numb...I can't feel my legs...someone send me $25,000 because I may need a massage; don't know if I can possibly get up! HA HA!

Texting, the "Cowards" way of breaking up!

Juror Selection - Casey Anthony Case and Jury Testing
This is my first time posting on this blog and the subject matter is of a rather serious nature. I wanted my first posting to consist of something kind of funny, satirical, but we'll have to work on that for next time.
The case of Casey Marie Anthony and her adorable, angelic faced, little daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony. This has gotten a lot of press and I'm certain there are comments, blogs, articles all over the net regarding this case which was publicized as much as the O.J. Simpson trial. In case you haven't heard of the case here is a edited brief summary:
Little darling angel Caylee Marie Anthony, born August 9, 2005 went "missing" from her home June 2008 The mother, Casey Marie Anthony didn't report this until 31 days later, July 2008. During this period that she didn't report her daughter missing, Casey was partying it up, dancing and out with boyfriends and friends. My cat was missing for about 8 hours and I drove all over the neighborhood whistling and calling his name; most of us would do this for our animals...what about our child?
Due to her parents pressuring Casey to see their granddaughter, Casey finally advised investigators that her daughter was kidnapped by Zanny the Nanny, a non-existent nanny. Casey took investigators on a wild goose chase through Universal Studio Offices, supposedly taking them to her office job there. She finally admitted that she lost her job several years before; her parents weren't even aware of this job loss as she lied to them.
Casey was arrested the day after, out on bail but arrested again for forgery, credit card fraud (a friend's) and petty theft (check fraud).
Caylee's skeletal remains were found in a forest near the Anthony home. Little Caylee was dosed with chloroform, suffocated with duct tape over her face, placed in a plastic laundry bag with her Winnie the Poo blanket and then dumped in the woods.
The trunk of the Anthony car had a bad smell, for which they found human hair in the trunk of the car and some remnants of chloroform. However, forensics couldn't verify this was Caylee's. Computer search on Casey's computer Internet search revealed a site displaying the use of chloroform and how to make it. Casey's x boyfriend also sent a photo depicting a man with a chloroform soaked rag to drug a woman. Casey's mother tried to lie and say this was her search, but they found through physical proof through work cohorts, managers, and her computer log-in information, that Casey's mother, Cindy was actually on the job and not at home when the Internet search took place.
The investigators found the companion other twin laundry bag in the Anthony house along with the rare duct tape discontinued around 2001, that was used on Caylee's face. Casey's mother, Cindy reported the Winnie the Pooh blanket was missing from the house before little Caylee's remains were found. They also found heart shaped stickers in the house; there was a heart shaped outline on the duct tape that was recovered from Caylee's mouth-area of her skull. Forensics lab couldn't capture this on photo and could no longer test this for finger prints.
Meanwhile, Casey was out on bail but arrested again for petty theft. Her bail was set high, and someone posted it anonymously; later it was found that Casey's parents George and Cindy, had signed a promissory note for the bond.
With all the evidence, Casey was arrested October 2008 for the undetermined death of her daughter.
Through Casey's attorney, Jose Baez, it was alleged that her dad George sexually molested her from an early age as well as her brother, Lee. However, Casey is on tape in jail, talking to her dad telling him he's the best dad ever and her brother the best.
The jury trial took place in Orlando, Florida, a different jurisdiction due to the press involved. The jurors were fully sequestered during that time from May 9, 2011 to July 5, 2011. During the trial with almost an even amount of men and women on the juror panel, they found out that Casey was a liar with made up stories, she delayed 31 days the reporting of her daughter's alleged kidnapping partying during those days in between, had boyfriends, and jail videos of her advising her family that they were the best parents, with emphasis on her dad; then through her attorney Jose Baez, accused him of sexual molestation as well as her brother. They were informed of the duct tape, the laundry bag, the chloroform, yet on July 5, 2011, this jury found Casey Marie Anthony NOT GUILTY of 1st degree murder, aggravated man slaughter, and aggravated child abuse! She was accused of misdemeanor charges of misleading investigators, giving them false information, etc. etc.
The jury. The jury's reason for this ludicrous verdict is, the prosecutors couldn't prove what the crime was, so they couldn't determine the punishment. They stated they didn't think she was innocent and they were devastated by the verdict they had to choose, but there was no solid physical evidence as to how the crime occurred. Say what? We have a plastic laundry bag, duct tape, chloroform..so what if there is no forensics of the cause of the death...DUH, there were only skeletal remains of the angel. She died, whether the cause of death was suffocation due to the duct tape over her face or too much chloroform, there is a dead little girl.
Come on people! What does it take? Are you watching too many episodes of CSI thinking that the evidence and proof is supposed to be solved and all wrapped up by the end of the episode?
My proposal, each and every juror in each and every court all over the United States, needs to be tested for common sense, logic and reasoning, and IQ. Any IQ lower than around a 90 must be sent out the door; since IQ is identified as not what you actually learn but your capacity to learn. This can be accomplished simply through computerized testing of each and every juror. If they don't pass all of the tests, then out the door "you're dismissed, dumb ass". Well, maybe leave the "dumb ass" out..sorry about that but these jurors need to be ashamed of themselves. Changes need to be made!
