What is with people today? It seems like the only way for celebrities to get their dying (or perhaps un-existing) career off and running is to have some kind of a sexual scandal, whether that be a tape or some raunchy cell-phone pictures. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Kendra Wilkinson, and Pamela Anderson have all been made famous by the tapes that were "leaked". Many other celebrities like High School Musical Star Vanessa Hudgens, Miley Cyrus, Gossip Girl stars Blake Lively and Leighton Meester, and many other celebrities have been the talk of the town due to released scandalous photos of themselves. Then, after the tape or photos are released, the star immediately issues a huge apology to their fans and insists on pursuing legal action taken against those responsible for the release.
Heres a bold idea --- DON'T DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE! I mean seriously, there are plenty of ways to be scandalous and not have something like this happen to you. As Reese Witherspoon said in her MTV Generation Award Acceptance Speech: "if you wanna do it, just don't take a picture with your face in it"!
This all brings me to my next point. If you're not a celebrity, AND you're not dating someone, sending them inappropriate pictures is more along the lines of harassment than excitement. One man, who is a frequent bar visitor at my work, seems to have a problem with these guidelines. Not only has he sent a picture to one lady, who I might add has never shown and will probably never show interest in him, he has sent a picture of himself to someone I know well and dear. Why?! This doesn't make you more attractive, and trust me by being creepy like this, you are just eliminating any chance EVER of having anything more than a simple conversation with avoided eye-contact.
So why is this "issue" occurring? It seems as though it's becoming ingrained into society, and this is a problem. Shows like 16 and Pregnant, Teen Mom, and even the music videos and music lyrics we watch and listen to only exacerbate the problem. While we can point fingers at Rihanna for her S&M song, we really need to be pointing the finger at those who have done it and continue to do it, and of course Ke$ha. I blame her. Everything bad happens in a Ke$ha video (just kidding Ke$ha, your songs are those that I love to hate on and then can't help but rock out to on the dance floor). And from there I will leave you with this little gem:

I'm BACK!!!
This summer I am working up at OWU and am still bartending a couple nights a week at El Vaquero Restaurant.Thus, I might as well get back on the blog/online journal shin-dig. I have time, and the time I use doing this will deter me from using the time going shopping or out for drinks (well, maybe... it was a good thought at least).
So, what's going on in my life?
Friends Carolyn Shapiro and Rachel Cairns with me above
Well, I just graduated college with three majors (I saved one Spanish class though so I could study abroad in Spain so that one is technically still on hold). Ever since graduation I have spent my time off laying around the house watching all of Khloe and Lamar and all the seasons of the Real Housewives. I am pretty sure I have the HBO and Showtime On Demand completely memorized. So far I have been really good so far at saving up my money, because frankly, I don't want to use any of it until I am in Spain and find things I absolutely can not live without.
Oh, this Spain thing... let me explain. On August 31st I leave for the adventure of a lifetime. For four months I will be parading around Salamanca, Spain, and all parts I can afford to go to in Spain and around Europe. I plan to visit everywhere IN Spain before I really go out and get around to countries, but I would like to have a couple weekends of new passport stamps! No worries -- I will have a blog while I am in Spain, which I promise to keep updated more than the blog I had for Mexico. I am learning some new tricks and will add some photos perhaps to jazz it up!
Jack Waas and Jourie Palumbo pictured with me above
I went on my first Chicago trip to drop off my application for my Spanish Visa. It was nice because I was able to work my trip in with Jack's birthday party, something that Jourie also joined us for. I stayed in Chicago from Sunday until Wednesday and had plenty of beer, good food, and genuine fun. I think I spent about 20 dollars just on the train pass and God knows how much on the rest of everything. Oh well. Next time I go out there I want to see everyone again and hopefully get a chance to meet up with some of the friends I was unable to see out there. I also plan to make my rounds to some of the suburbs and see parts I didn't get to see before.
I have been having fun around here with friends, but not too much fun, as I am usually working. Today, however, I began my day with a Costco run with Mom and then spent the rest of the time lounging around the pool with Brigette. We enjoyed a nice lo-cal barbecue and I later went on a walk with the family to CVS and back. It was nice to walk our trip rather than drive it. The MTV Movie Awards were on tonight, but I am not too worried about missing most of them because usually they are replayed on MTV for a million hours after the original airing.
I think that's good for the first update in a long time.

Natty Light vs. PBR
For the extra dollar you can be more hipster. Is it worth it?
YES. END OF STORY. PBR is the drink of champions. PBR is the best thing, besides Jourie and Ruthie of course, to come out of Wisconsin. I am not kidding. PBR is cheap. PBR is delicious. PBR makes hipster boys want you more than they want the lead singer of Animal Collective, and no that's not gay. Animal Collective insights a different kind of feeling that you just wouldn't understand. PBR is the best thing to happen to a college kid.
NOW Natty Light? For real? Why does everyone buy this shit. And when you suggest PBR they get all "what are you a hipster"? Yes, hipster do love their PBR but also they love their beer and have an identity. What do you have with your Natty Light, you cheap mother fucker? Natty Light is piss in a can. I could do that for you and sell it half price.
DRINK PBR.
PBR PAY ME!
I need to go to work now. Bye!
remember this song?
Video sucks. Song sucks. But it's all awesome at the same time. Man I love the 90s!
