LET IT BE KNOWN 2012!

I am sure it is already known that I do not really use this blog anymore, which is sort of a shame. However my other 3 blogs I am doing fine with. I have come up with some new years goals that I would like to share. The reason I want to publicly share them is for two reasons. 1. If you write it down your success rate goes up. 2. If you tell others your goal your success rate goes up. Therefore I want to achieve them.
I am fairly good at making goals and achieving them. Last year I wanted to lose weight, I lost 25 pounds. I have gained 5 of those pounds back, but whatever that is what this new year is for, and I think most of it is still left over holiday weight. My boyfriend's mother is a wicked cook.
Last year I wanted to run a 1/2 marathon I did it and I ran the whole way and I did it in 8:30 min mile pace.
Last year I wanted to have an internship that would help give me connections and launch my future career when I graduate this May. I completed that a few weeks ago.
The list goes on with jobs and finances and dating but the point of all this bragging is I set some goals and then I completed them. Here are my goals for 2012:

1. Lose 10-15 pounds.
2. Graduate (This one is kind of a given.)
3. Move to the City
4. Get a job that makes more than $10.00 an hour
5. Have a beautiful apartment with a nice big bed with a nice mattress. (You spend 1/3 of your life sleeping I deserve it.)
6. Run another 1/2 marathon
7. Do more resistance training & keep eating fruits and veggies over chocolate.
8. Always have $1,000 in savings. (This one is a bust, I love shopping.)
9. Study Scriptures Everyday.
10. Be temple worthy
11. Pray Always
12. Full tithe payer.
13. Always positive.
14. Never ever burn a bridge.
15. Stop being judgmental.
16. I want to travel some more too. 

So I guess that is the wrap. These are my 16 main goals. Some of them carry over from last year, but I will strive to accomplish them through out my life. I love setting and accomplishing goals. I know that is nerdy but I love love love it. It feels so good. I have read a lot of self help books about goals and I know a ton of amazing ones that have changed my life. If anyone is interested let me know and you can borrow them. :)  I want to wish everyone the best of luck with their New Years resolutions and have a good year 2012!

To my small band of followers:

Hey guys, I have recently started another blog. This one is strictly professional/ educational. It is about advertising. I am hoping to express my opinions about designs, media, art, campaigns, package designs etc. I am then going to link it to my portfolio and all the other billion social networking sites in the world in hopes that when people google my name and portfolio etc it will come up as one of the top results. (SEO) So if you all could please follow it that would be fantastic. I will try to keep updating this one as well, I just have been busy/lazy.... I love you all. :) Here is the link to the new one. www.artformoneyssake.blogspot.com

I recently purchased a stapler from none other than walmart. I opened it, very happy to use it. I went to use it and could not. They forgot to include the staples with it. However I have this suspicion that they didn't really forget they purposely did not include the staples with the stapler so you would have to buy staples separate, making you spend more money. Hint- next time you buy a stapler, also buy staples.

wrote this for a class take a look

I am going to analyze the romantic relationship between the two main characters in the popular movie 500 Days of Summer, Tom and Summer. I am going to use the 10 step model of romantic relationships that is found in the class text book.

Stage 1: Initiating-
Summer was a new employee, Tom had noticed her and instantly fell in love. However, he was too afraid to do anything about it since his friend told him that she was a "pretty girl bitch." One day when the two of them happened to be in the same elevator Summer initiated the first time they spoke. Here is a clip of how the Innocent first stage of their relationship began. (only the first 25 seconds of this clip)

Stage 2: Experimenting- They begin to get to know each other and talk more privately at a work Karaoke function. They talk about music and see each other in the lime light as they each preform their chosen Karaoke songs. They begin openly talking about how each other feels about relationships and love. Summer says that she doesn't want to be in a relationship and likes being a free and independent woman. She says most marriages end in divorce now days, like her parents'. Love is just a fantasy. Tom thinks that she is wrong and believes that it is real. If Tom was listening to what she was saying that night he would have known that she did not want to be in any relationship and that she does not believe in love they way he does. 

 
Stage 3: Intensifying
Tom and Summer's relationship intensifies when Summer initiates sexual relations. Tom was planning on not allowing himself to initiate sexual relations because she had mentioned previous that she was not interested in anything long term. However, what Summer wanted was different than what Tom thought Summer wanted. To intensify their relationship some more Summer initiated opening up her self to Tom and telling him some secrets and personal things about herself. Tom was very excited about this so he also began telling her his secrets. Tom really wanted the relationship to progress and was very excited with all of these new level that their relationship took on.  Tom had also fallen in love with Summer at this point.

 Here is an example of how happy exactly Tom was after they slept together. 

 

This is a picture of them sharing their deep secrets and thoughts. 

 Tom in Love!

Stage 4: Integrating-

I feel that their relationship sort of skipped this step. I think that summer knew this step was approaching and that is why she would always say that she didn't want to have the label of boyfriend, girl friend. I think that Tom was in denial of the fact that this step was skipped, or that summer was avoiding it. 

  Stage 5: Bonding-

They never bonded at all. Tom made a comment to Summer about how he liked the way she dressed. Trying to agree with her and like the same things that she liked. When she never did the same for him.

Stage 6: Differentiating-

He made her a Cd with his favorite artist and mentioned that artist and Summer said she had never heard of it, and Tom frustrated that what was his favorite artist she had never even heard of. "It pains me to live in a world where people have never heard of spearmint!" said Tom. Summer, " I have never heard of them." Tom replied, "what I put them on that mix I made you." Tom  wanted to bond and be one with summer so bad. Summer just didn't want that and never did.

  Stage 7: Circumscribing-

Once after going to the movies Summer started crying and acting all quiet. Tom begged her to tell him what was wrong and she just said nothing and wanted to go home, even after he offered to make her pancakes to feel better. Summer never wanted to communicate to Tom. Tom always wanted to, but was too afraid because he knew that Summer did not want to and that was why she did not communicate to him.

Stage 8: Stagnating-

After meeting up one last time summer says, "I think we should just be friends." Tom shocked and upset by this tries to figure out what is going on. After she protests that she thinks its really ending Tom leaves in a hurry. Summer calls after him saying, " your still my best friend." This is what hurt him the most,  just friends.

Stage 9: Avoiding-

Tom e-mails summer asking her on another date in hopes of winning her back. Summer replies that she can't this weekend, but maybe the next. She then throws in I hope this means that you are ready to just be friends.  Tom really upset by this chooses to avoid her and not reply. A few days later they run into each other on a train. Tom once again chooses to avoid summer. 

Stage 10: Terminating-

Tom is invited to a party that Summer is throwing. He goes to the party with high expectations. There he learns that it is Summer's engagement party. He leaves the party upset and from then on tries to forget about Summer and move on. 

   I think this movie is a good example of how relationships fail when communication is not happening. This is also I good example of needing to learn to listen to the opposite sex from the beginning. Summer told Tom up front that she was not looking for love and did not want a long term relationship. Tom should have listened to what she wanted and prepared himself for that. He should have known what he was getting into from the start. 

Holding hands in Ikea, shower sex- that is not how you treat your friend!" Which clearly goes to show that he thought of physical things being on a more intimate level. 

Their relationship probably would have never lasted. It was all one sided, Tom doing everything to make it work with Summer. In the end, Tom did not end up with his dream girl, but in the long run that is probably for the best. He now has a chance to find someone who will love him equally. 

 

   

Penis episode!

So me and my good friend Trassy had just got back from lava and were unsatisfied with the fact that lava hot springs ice cream parlor was closed. Therefore we went to Artic Circle to get some milk shakes. I drove so I ordered Traci's for her, Strawberry Cheese Cake. ( I should have got that kind.) Its my turn to order this is what I order: Reese PENIS buttercup shake. This was not on purpose! Reese has that ssss sound that peanut is lacking and when you add them together its defiantly a penis word. I am positive that when Reese Peanut Butter Cups were invented and they came up with the name they did it on purpose hoping that more people would buy their candy if the consumers were thinking of penis', or maybe one GIANT penis. gross.

Effie Award Winning

This is the best condom commercial I think ever created. Yes it is dirty but what you do with condoms is so why not advertise it dirty.

Last Tuesday I was in a big hurry to class. Once I had gotten everything out and settled for my class I realized my ipod was nowhere to be found. I was wanting to check my e-mail, facebook etc. I ran out of class to see if I dropped it in the bathroom. While I was running down the stairs I realized that it had fallen out of my pocket in the street in my hurry. I was sure of this because my headphones came unplugged when i was rushing.  I even said out loud hmm that is weird and kept walking, this time with out music. ( I know I am stupid.) So I run to the street and see it in the distance lying their on the side of the road. As I approached I saw that the worst had happened. It had been ran over by a car. I was so upset all I could do was go back to class and text everyone of the tragedy.

Then I realized that this was no tragedy at all. It was a miracle from on high. I now had a great excuse to buy the new iphone. Yes The 4G. I have been wanting the iphone each version for nearly two years now. My phone is a POS, my ipod is clearly now a POS. Why not? What is stopping me now? Nothing. I have all this money I was going to spend on a cruise that was a freaking lie. My family has a mobile up date on Feb 7. It will make me the happiest person alive. I made up my mind, I am going to buy the iphone. Apple has never ever let me down before. It would be the ultimate. Then I got scared. I thought what if I get the iphone and then it gets ran over by a car? Then I really thought about it and that wouldn't happen because I will only have one thing to worry about. Not a phone and a ipod and all that other crap that the iphone comes with. I will have one thing. I can take care of one thing. Then I thought some more. This ipod, the one that got hit by the car, I have had for over a year and a half. I have dropped it, thrown it, drop kicked it, and got it ran over with a car and it still works. (even though the screen is now cracked.) The same story with my previous ipod only not ran over by a car but thrown out the window of a car. ( The screen didn't even break on that one, it was a video too) Apple is durable and the best thing ever, I can get a case and a cover and I can play some hockey with it as the puck and it will be  just fine.

So I want everyone to know that I am buying the iphone and I will be the shit and so will my iphone.
