I have my name in my domain!

I love to play along, so when I came across this on Jimi Morrison’s blog and I knew it was meant to be because…my name is in my domain! The list was originally started by Mr. Gary Lee and it’s caught on like wild fire!

Here are the instructions:

***Start Copying Here***

1) Write a short introduction paragraph about how you found the list and include a link to the blog that referred you to the list.

2) COPY the ENTIRE List below and add it to your blog. To avoid duplicate content and increase the amount of keywords your site can accessible for, go ahead and change the titles of the blog. Just don’t change the links of the blog.

3) Take “My Adds” and move them into the “My Originals” list.

4) Add 3 Brand New Narcissistic Bloggers that you know of

My Adds

Originals

Scott Weiland…a shell of his former self

There is an MSN article this morning about Scott Weiland and his rage issues. I was more interested in the picture than his issues, which I refuse to believe is of Scott Weiland.

scottweiland 150 does not equal scottmary weiland

And he’s 40 years old, not 31.

Courtney Love gets skinny

coooourtttneyI’d totally love to pull a Courtney Love. She reportedly lost 45 pounds in 4 months, and to be honest, I think she looks pretty darn good.

Okay, she could probably use to gain 5 pounds back, but she doesn’t look like she’s going to drop dead at any moment like Nicole Richie (although she looks 10x better than she did).

Her publicist says she lost the weight by eating protein shakes, fresh veggies, and steamed fish…hmm, sound familiar Mike and Laurie? Medifast!

Bravo Natalie Dee…

Kathy Sierra

I just want to make a quick serious post about what Kathy Sierra has been going through lately. Her most recent blog post describing what has transpired against her in the blogosphere in the past few weeks will make you physically ill. Especially if you are a blogger. She’s gotten numerous threats including throat slitting, hanging, suffocation, sex acts, photoshopped pictures, and comments on her own website and other forums…just because she blogs.

It’s all very vile and it makes me think twice about blogging and what I post on my sites. It also makes you think about the types of comments you leave on other sites and the seriousness of the comments left on your own sites. What some people think of as harmless fun or being a smartass really crosses the line sometimes, and there’s no telling when those comments will turn into actions.

People develop a false sense of bravado over the internet very quickly and write things to and about people that they would never say to that person’s face. If you wouldn’t say it out-loud, don’t type it.

Scoble is taking the week off from blogging in support of Kathy, and I think that makes for a great opportunity for some real life discussion about the impliations of the turn the blogosphere has recently taken.

Just a note that this entry is being posted on all of my blogs.

Gwen Stefani on American Idol

B000JJRIN4

I’m not an American Idol fan, but I will be tuning in tonight for an appearance by Gwen Stefani. She’ll be coaching the contestants before their renditions of some of the best songs of the ’90’s (oxymoron?), and tomorrow night she will be performing during the results show.

EDIT: Totally fell asleep and didn’t watch any of the show. Lucky for you, Amy over at Whatever I Feel Like posted a detailed review.

UPDATE: Doug’s new haircut

You may remember Doug from earlier this week. By last night, Doug was ready for his first haircut.

First, Doug went punk.

Doug Goes Punk

Then Doug decided he was a little more reserved, and went for the crewcut.

Doug Joins The Army

Stay tuned for Doug’s next big haircut later this week.

Christina Aguilera - moving into blow up doll territory

Christina Aguilera, I think you are ridiculous.

Good day.

Viva Las Vegas Real Estate

1970vegasxIn May, I head to Las Vegas for a week to attend a conference for work. I’ve heard horror stories about how hectic and chaotic this conference is, so I’m not looking forward to a week’s worth of sixteen hour days when the pool at the Paris hotel will be taunting me.

It didn’t change the price of my airfare to stay a few extra days, so I figured since my company was footing the bill, I’d stay and indulge in some sun and cocktails. I even convinced Mike to catch a flight out of Chicago and spend a few days by the pool with me.

Everytime I go to Las Vegas, which has been at least once a year for the past five years, I always get the itch to look at Las Vegas homes. The warm weather and sunshine calls my name after a few winter months in Indiana.

I read that Las Vegas is one of the top five fastest growing cities in the United States, which makes Las Vegas real estate hotter than ever. A little house with an inground pool in a nice neighborhood just far enough away from the lights and jackpots to feel homey would be ideal.

Maybe I could find something something I could afford on a cocktail waitress income so that I don’t have to sit in a stuffy office and attend conferences?
