Miss Teen South Carolina (word for word)

I'm sure that everyone has already seen this clip, but it's just ridiculous. I must say that the first time i saw it i couldn't stop laughing but now it's just a scary because I'm sure she's not the only one out there than is this stupid. Anyhow, here's the question and her answer. Below the text is the link for the video clip if you haven't seen it yet.


"Recent polls have shown that a fifth of Americans can't locate the US on a map. Why do you think this is?"

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because uh some uh people out there in our nation don't have maps and uh I believe that our ed- education like such as in South Africa and uh the- the Iraq everywhere like such as and I believe that they should uh our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or- or- should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for our children...

Here's the clip:

Is this safe?

I came across this picture just now and I had to stop and ask myself, “is this safe?” If I was the mother of this kid I wouldn’t be thrilled by this picture. What if something were to go wrong? Say, the alligator does what it does instinctively and bites the kid and they start to wrestle and inevitably the kid looses… “Um, Mrs. Smith this is Coach Adams. I’m terribly sorry to inform you that Johnny got eaten by our pet alligator… (pause) Yeah, it seems like a good idea, but I guess looking back we should’ve gotten a pet squirrel rather than a gator…Anyway, I’m sorry.”

I mean, trying to look all tough to scare the opposing team is one thing, but to pose with a freaking gator just seems silly… Anyhow, it made me laugh so I’m sharing!!

Have an awesome Friday!! Yeeeees.

Promoting Katie's blog

No blog from me today, but I am promoting Katie's blog of the day (Take a U Turn, Fool!)because it's simply hilarious!!! click on the link and enjoy!!

Stupid little trivia just for the hell of it.

Question 1:

If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?



Read the next question before looking at the response for this one.



Question 2:

It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts.
Here are the facts about the three candidates. Who would you vote for?

Candidate A
Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologist He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.

Candidate B
He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.

Candidate C
He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.


Which of these candidates would be our choice? Decide first..., then scroll down for the response.







Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.


And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question:
If you said YES, you just killed Beethoven.


Finally, can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:

* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
* 3 have done time for assault
* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
* 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
* 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year...

Can you guess which organization this is?



It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.


Also, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic...

Greeeeeat, this gives me a lot of hope...

One of my favorite pictures

Dar just posted this picture of Chachi and I taking a nap; I had totally forgotten about it. I love it! I think this was after a very long day at the Sweet 16s tournament that the NYRC hosted a few years ago in good ol' Staten Island.

Awesome bike ride*

It's such a beautiful day today that I decided to bike to work. However, since my bike sucks, I asked Dar if I could borrow her brand new one. And she said yes! It was an awesome ride and I'm very much looking forward to this afternoon so I can bike back!

This bike is so smooth and fast that I felt like I didn’t had to pedal... Well, a few seconds after I stopped pedaling, I realized I wasn’t going anywhere so I had to start pedaling…

I must say that I have a little bit of bike envy. Although since Dar now has this new one, I now have her old one which is WAY better than my old shitty bike with a purple/pink frame… I mean seriously, if I were to be seen in Brownsville riding that thing I would be a dead woman. Even if I were to be wearing my blue O shirt!

* I always forget how awful the beginning of Brooklyn bridge is… but it’s ALWAYS so worth it!

que momento mas triste cuando se acaba...

Summer is over! This, of course is a bitter sweet moment for me because although I'm happy that all camps have ended and I now have time to live, it also means well, the end of the summer. So no more long days (sunsets at 9pm, how awesome is that!). No more free concerts at the pier or park. No more dinners on sidewalk cafes. No more shorts everyday (although I might still wear mine until November...) and no more iced coffees (which is good for my pocket since they are more expensive than regular coffee... thanks Starbucks...

But with the end of summer comes the fall. And honestly NYC in the fall is a great place to be. You've got multi color trees (well, their leaves anyway) and awesome weather. Not too cold, not too hot, just perfect. Kind of like the weather in San Francisco, but without the usual SF fog. Perfect weather to go biking, hiking (not that I ever go hiking) and jogging (again, not that I ever jog, but you get the point.)

All in all, like I said this is a bitter sweet moment for me, but it's looking sweeter by the minute.

I now have time to write shit like this!!
