So I found myself in another fan forum. The topic of over used plot devices has become the hot topic for Ichigo's wins. My point is why make his inevidetable wins so freakishly obvious and having the author hand desend to pull Ichigo's ass out the fire? Why write your character into a corner like that only to have some kind deus ex machina saving the day?( Read more... )
To those that are on Bleach Asylum I go by "Maddcb"

This is pure bullshit!( Read more... )

Just some ideas that are floating around for the reception. I like paper laterns. I would love to have these set up at the Birmingham Museum of Art, but seems that "after hours" like 5pm(evening) are the only times. Since the Museum is open to the public except for major holidays. The space that I'm looking at can only be used during the evening because its public space open durning the day. *sigh*

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Happy Birthday to me^_^ I don't feel any different then from last year. Well, my quest for a healthy me is on going, and I'm tired of dieting. So quit that ^_^. Frankly I'm happy and trying to figure out when's good day to get preggers. I bought one those Ovaulation tracker kits, only $12 at wal-mart. I may not be the millionaire-astronaut-movie star- adult I dreamed I'll be when was seven, but I come a long way. Been through some things, and my dreams/prayers are coming to pass. One at a time. Some doors were closed(glad they were!)and other doors were opened.
I love all ya'll! Thank you! I wish I could meet all you personally and celebrate! ^____^ I love you guys!

I'll like to share something with you guys and the state of affairs happening in my state and Birmingham, Al. The legacy lives on as five police officers decided to beat an unresponive "suspect". Regardless if the suspect lead police on a high speed chase that nearly ran over a policeman, DOES NOT grant the police the right to go that far. I like you to all know this beating happened January 2008! this tape has been circulating around the department for a whole year, and the suspect's defense was only given the edited version of the beating, as the part with the beating was edited out! Only until this year when the suspect trial was coming up and the DA asked for the original tape did the unedited version was turned in. Police tampered with evidence, and the comments I read on the net surrounding this story clearly proves that assholes work for the police and there are racist assholes that help keep them in employ. Thankfully, the new police chief fired all that were involved including the superviors that knew about this. The mayor has given the DA permission to go after all that were involved with this including anyone that has "retired". Police are not held accountable to anything. Only recently do SOME places make a point to record police interrogations, its not a Federal law. It should be! I don't like the police, but I see the purpose of having a police force, but if the people that suppose to uphold the law abuse it then what good is the system?
I'm glad those cops were fired, they give the good cops a bad name. I know a few decent cops but from my experience the bad out number the good.

Just thankful

I joined Twitter...not that have anything worth "twittering" about. If any of my LJ peeps are on there let me know so i won't feel so alone.

 Just got in from work, I kinda feel very sleepy right now, but there are things I have to prep for.

Well do to the current "cold snap" I have to "alter" outfit for friday! I'm rock my red-brown boots, a nice pair of dark demin jeans, and a top. Oh, and wear my elgant wool trench coat. ^_^
 Did my pedicure last night. Feet are nice and smooth. However, I have to find a neutral nail polish for my toes! Oh, yes, I plan on wearing my sexy ass black dress, with some killer heels!

 Anyway, there is only 1 day left...

i have to do my nails too!

Never thought this day would come. I finally can get a car! No car note either! Oh yeah! Well, I'll have a little bit left over for savings and to pay off a couple of debts. ^_^

There are only 3 days left

Only 4 days left!
 
 

Well the "Lover's day" has come and gone, but i never was really big on Valentine's Day to begin with. So in the past I used to be anti-valentine day cause I necer had well, a "valentine". Eh, who cares if your single or not, its still a "candy and flower industry" holiday. Still, to those of us who are single or attached just use this day remind yourself that you are loved and someone loves you. Even though we should be thankful everyday for the blessing of good friends, family and companions that are in our lives. Just do something nice to a complete stranger on the next valentines day.
  Well, other then that...
only 5 days left!

Went shopping today, and bought two new sexy dresses from "Ross". ^_^ Didn't cost me a thing because I got a Ross giftcard for christmas. Well, now I have to hit payless shoes to pick up some nice kicks. I have a "daytime" dress to wear for next friday, and evening dress for later that night. ^_^
 
Sexy things to do list:
Pettiecure and manicure( I do my own. Not as hard as some folks make it out to be)
leg oil mix: Vitiam E oil, coconut oil, and some lavender oil. Make sure you shave those legs ladies! ^_^
Facial treatment: cold press with green tea bags for the eyes, treatment. Keep my brows groomed
Buff those lips to keep them "kissable".
Get the shine on for the pearly whites(teeth)
Fix the hair.

Yep i'll be ready for Friday. Yeah yeah!

only 6 days left

Well, I found a little Ford Focus for 1,450. It's not in the condition to travel 100, 000 miles, but getting to work to home and everything inbetween will do for me. I'm just use that as a stepping stone. Eventually, I can buy my own altima in cash! Baby steps towards my money makeover. Having No car note is well worth it.
  I also found a Chevy Lumina for $1200, but the owner wasn't home. I hope they call me back. Either car is great for my needs.  
 Tomorrow, I'm going to shop for a new dress and some new shoes. I got a gift card to "Ross" and I want to look nice, next Friday. ^_^ Wow, only 7 days left!

There are 8 days left...

My cousin got married YERSTERDAY!!
I am still happy and really could not believe I was at his wedding. ^_^

Makes me all giddy and in great anticipation for my own with the LOVE OF MY LIFE! I know I've dated in the past and it always seemed like I was the one that tried to keep their interests in me, or me doing the pursuing. Now after all the "duds" in my life, finally someone took a very passionate interest in me and chased after me. ^_^ I love him so much that nothing in this world will ever be good enough to replace him. I'm truly happy with him.
I'm done dating fellas.

I still think this is funny! LOL

What can I say!
I'm still crying! My grandparents and my mom's generation lived to see this day! The day of the beginning of Martin Luther King Jr's Dream! People looked pasted his skin color and voted for someone with character(McCain has character too! I give him credit also), but Obama proved that regardless of your background, race, beliefs,etc, one can rise to the challenge and make a difference. I mean, I can finally say with all truth, that YES WE CAN! Yes, my children CAN BE PRESIDENT or anything that they want to be, truly.
I'm still very emotional about it, and I can understand if some folks don't "really" get it, but the fact remains WE ARE A PART of HISTORY!!!! WE are really trying to carry out the "Dream". Yes, we can! I'm so proud of my country men. We stood united and this gives me hope in us as nation.

To all my lj friends, I'm heading to D.C in January to see our President sworn in. I encourage all you to make the time to go. Live in this moment. Wow, I'm apart of history
