So how about that Bachelor season finale? Now, I don't watch the Bachelor - Never have, never will. But I got sucked into the finale and After the Final Rose (Part 1 and 2, of course.) I think it's funny that reality tv parading around as "true life" has gotten people so up in arms. First of all, the guy picked the wrong girl. Why he did that, I have no idea. He was so upset when Molly was taken away in the limo. Secondly, according to Jason (who is now not a credible source) Melissa and he were not a couple going into After the Final Rose (Part 1) and she was being overly dramatic and acting like she had no idea.
From a male perspective, Melissa knew exactly what to say to get everyone in America with large amounts of estrogen pissed off. The only ones that aren't are the ones that see through this facade. Or, my favorite viewer quote, "The biggest vat of Velvetta I've ever seen."
I wish Molly and Jason the best of luck and hope, for her sake, he doesn't decide to "follow his heart" into the arms of DeAnna. Wouldn't that sell papers.
I've been on a life journey for the past couple months. It's more of a non-denominational spiritual journey. I've gotten into guided meditations and I believe it's helping my health. A few weeks ago I went to the doctors for my 3 month check-up and my blood pressure was through the roof. The next day I had another appointment with a different doctor who was alerted by doctor #1 of my off the charts BP. After all is said and done, I'm fine. My lupus is currently inactive and most of my labs are coming out normal. I've been dangerously sick now for over a year, so do I think following a spiritual path and daily meditations are helping? You bet your ass I do. It would be the same thing if I started a strict vegetarian diet and my condition improved. (I like bacon too much. Sorry.)
Religion and spirituality is something that people have a hard time conversing about - even if it's about the religion they subscribe to. Everyone has a different perspective and not many people are willing to bend. Which is why, for now, I've chosen not to say much about it and just continue doing what is working. If you're interested I'd be happy to talk about it in a less public arena.
Every time people ask what I do all day, I usually say something along the lines of "nothing," usually paired with a half smile and a shrug. This isn't the case. I do something that has the potential to be profitable. What is it? You're gonna laugh. I enter contests. Yes, the same type of contests you read about in the coupon section or hear about on television. The difference is I enter probably about 300 contests a day. There are different categories: Some contests you can only enter once. Some you can enter daily. Other you can enter daily and they are instant win games, meaning you know right away if you have won something. And yes, I have won some things. My biggest win was a Jenna Jameson signed skate deck that I sold on ebay for $117. Other small things such as free food from kraft, free salsa, and free mp3 downloads come in handy when your income is comprised of food stamps.
The contest community is a funny one. They are very supportive of each other and constantly post new contests. Most people would think that you should keep a contest to yourself so no one else can enter. But that's not what the definition of a community is. These people support one another, answering questions and quick to help out if someone has been promised a prize but never received it. They are also good at what they do and if there is a skill to contesting they have figured it out. But the majority of the time it's really dumb luck.
I figure it's better to win something then buy it!
