Don't be a Drag, Just be a Queen!

Saw this wise status on Facebook the other day:

So let's see...Kelsey Grammer can end a 15 yr marriage by phone, Larry King can be on divorce #9, Britney Spears had a 55 hour marriage, Jesse James and Tiger Woods - while married - were having sex with EVERYONE, 53% of Americans get divorced and 30-60% cheat on their spouses. Yet, same-sex marriage is going to destroy the institution of marriage? Really?

I’m not really going to comment because it’s self-explanatory. However, I still struggle to understand why people care so much about controlling others’ actions when they have no affect one your own life.

Is restricting gay marriage going to dissolve the GLBT community? Umm, no. All you’re really doing is restricting them from supporting the economy with outrageous wedding spending. And you know, all that marriage happiness.

This is an excellent lead in to what is becoming my theme of the past week -  Gaga’s Born This Way. 

I'd love to hear what you think of the video & her antics in general!

And since y'all loved my Gaga picture post so much the other day, here is a slideshow of the entire concert!!!

Hope you enjoy :)

Another Halloween Down in the Books

I wasn't going to do the standard Halloween post, mainly b/c i'm not as big on Halloween as others are. It's not that i dislike it, i just don't get super excited. I feel like the night of having fun never reaches the expectations when you spend hours upon hours - or DAYS - on your costume. I hate to think what it'll be like when i have to make costumes for my kids too, since i do not believe in the store-bought kind. Really, trick or treating is what made it for me. And that is now, sadly, over. :(

That being said, here i am writing a Halloween post and that's because 2 awesome things happened!

1. Our group costume was kind of really awesome!

Cruella DeVille & her dalmatian puppies. I'm the only live one.

2. I coincidentally spent Halloween partying with a fellow blogger. And an awesome one at that. Kristina @ Goodmorning, Blog. is the first blog i started following and the one that really motivated  me to start my own. And for that Kristina, i THANK YOU! :))

I mean i knew we had a couple of friends in common, and i even went to University with her brother, but the blog-find was a coincidence. And lo-and-behold, we were at the same pre-drink! Awesomeness ensued. It was great to meeting her! :)

Kristina & I joined by one of my dalmatian sibs :)

Hope you all had a fab HALLOWEEN too! Can't wait to see more costume pics :)

20 Most Influential Albums

Claire @ Bicoastally has put out a challenge - your 20 Most Influential Albums.

Since i cannot live without music, i figured there's no way i could skip this one! I know what you're thinking - everyone enjoys listening to music. You don't understand.

I.cannot.function.without.music.

No idle time can go by without music. Getting ready in the morning. While driving. On any and every mode of transportation where i am NOT driving. At work (not valid at the moment). Cooking. Showering - i told you a built-in shower radio is a must for my future bedroom!

My MP3 is my bff. If i went any further, i'd just flat out be a musician. But not a singer. No one wants that.

SO - most influential albums of my life. The following albums can make my world right. Make anything and everything fall into place. Instant sunshine on a rainy day.

1. Various Artists - Dance Mix '95 [i don't think this exists in the States]
2. Bryan Adams - So Far So Good
3. Eric Clapton - Unplugged
4. ABBA - Gold
5. Boney M - Gold
6. Rod Stewart - Greatest Hits
7. Aerosmith - Big Ones
8. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Greatest Hits

I'm willing to bet this isn't what most expected. Think you can handle listing yours?
