Friends and fellow web users,
I try not to get into intense on the blog because.. well, I try to not be one of those crazy web people. However, tonight while attending a conference, I was reminded why I am (patiently) seeking a job in my field and why the issues of Africa are so dear to my heart. My true passion being the rehabilitation and reintegration of child soldiers back into society, after hearing the presentation tonight I was reminded that the Congo was a place I could not overlook. I realize that not everyone shares my passion for this continent or these people, however, as a citizen of this world, living in a relatively free and democratic society with the resources to do something I think that it is my responsibility to share this information with as many people as possible.
Today in the Democratic Republic of the Congo hundreds of thousands of people live in abject poverty, in fear for their lives, at risk of rape, in a system of brutality and exploitation, and have only seen a rise in the violence over the past 15 years. The DRC is experiencing a massive genocide. Over 6 MILLION people have lost their lives so far, more than half of those people being children under the age of 5. The number of those murdered over these 15 years is rapidly on it's way to surpassing those killed in the Holocaust, and yet barely anyone in the States or around the world is knowledgeable about the issue, the international media and community doing very little to help.
While this situation is dire and it seems as though there is absolutely nothing you can do, that's where you're wrong. You can start by bringing attention to the issue in your immediate community/ public, bugging your political representatives to recognize and do something about the DRC, ask your representative about their position on PL 109-456 and helping ex-pats that are in the States voice their experiences and their desire for change. The Congolese are a beautiful, intelligent and loving people, that are fully capable of governing themselves on their own terms, however they need the space to develop safely/sustainably; and they need to be given tools to develop, not Dead Aid thrown at those in the "government" who are corrupt and exploiting their land and lives. Please take the time to watch this short documentary, and at the end if you feel that you don't have time to get involved, at the very least spread the word.
Merci beaucoup. Asante Sana. Thank you very much.

22-year-old Spinster
Seriously.
I'm sitting at home by myself eating a salad, icing my shoulders and watching SportsCenter with my dog. This is kind of pathetic. Maybe I'll pop in Casablanca and watch the movie for the first time in my life just to play up the whole spinster-ness.

Winning?
This past weekend was far from "winning" in terms of sports for me. In case you can't tell I have invested a lot of time into sports, probably not a good thing for a competitive personality with very little room to actually exercise my competitive streak. USC looked like crap and lost epically, Pats lost to the Bills, Angels are out of the running for any kind of post-season (but I still want to go to a post-season game so feel free to gift me tickets whenever), US is out of the RWC (not that I expected them to win but I was hoping for 2 Ws), and I was completely debilitated on Sunday thanks to biology. If basketball had started this weekend I think I would've signed off ESPN all together in a fit of rage. Luckily I have been very blessed with the super awesome friendship of Shanaynay so I got to veg out on her couch on Sunday and watch cartoons with little kids and then quite possibly the most boring/awkward/painful Colts-Steelers game. Thanks Shanelle (and Jesus)! Love you.
I have also realized how sad it is that you will never hear about anything if you are not on Facebook. Seriously. A friend of mine just got engaged and I found out from my mom because she saw it on the big facey. And then you also miss out on all the fun youtube video sharing because no one wants to take the time to e-mail you stuff. And to everyone (who doesn't read this blog) whose birthday I have been missing, I'm sorry! We're still friends right?...
My Doc did give me the go-ahead to get back in the gym though so that's a WIN!!! Yay. I needed the gym after this weekend/ after a month of being banned from working out altogether by my doctor.
Still educated and unemployed, so I'm praying about that and finding different things to do in the meantime to support my med bills and other monthly payments, while still contributing to society in some way. Highly considering starting my own business... Stay tuned to find out more.
I need to finish posting the pictures from Kenya, I know I'm the worst procrastinator (or... the best??) but I promise it will eventually get done.
Politics today are beyond frustrating recently. Both political parties are being a bit ridiculous and need to realize that, while sticking to your "core principles" that seem to change from week to week, fixing this economy is far more important than your pride and stupid minor details and ear-markers. I know it's not easy, but declaring "class warfare" is beyond ridiculous and claiming that fixing this situation is "simple math" does not put our fears to rest or help the market out at all. I just hope that a few congressmen/women who are actually out to serve their people and not their sponsors or own interests grow the balls to grab hold of this dysfunctional thing we call a congress and (at least begin) to set everything straight. Seriously, people are debating whether or not we are in a double-dip and you are concerned about waging class warfare against millionaires who are taxed half of what the Average american is? Which is really just everyone trying to create a cloud of fear and confusion before the elections so that both parties can seem like they have a legit case for office. First off, Republicans, get a hold of your party please. These Tea Party crazies are seriously damaging your image, ideology, and their policy ideas are pretty damaging to the people you are supposed to be helping. Their debates are a circus, I can only hope that people are sane and pick Romney. In a democracy I want to have to make a very difficult decision between candidates, not throw my vote into a box because I think the other person is inept. Democrats, step up your game. Obama has great intentions but lets congress step all over him because he is concerned about bi-partisanship and wants desperately to hold onto office. Grow a pair. Make tough decisions, get criticized for sticking to your guns not inaction, and stand up for whats right. It's really disappointing.
Actually praying for a real third party to step in (NOT like the Tea Party which is just a radicalized section of a political party).
I have to say that I blame the average citizen for our problems though. Seriously people, in a democracy you are supposed to vote so that you are represented. But people 'aren't informed enough' about the issues to go vote on things that affect your immediate community? 'Don't know enough' about a candidate to vote for someone in their local, county, state elections? Don't complain people. You have a ton of resources available to do all of the research you need. It's because we don't take the time to read up on policies and study candidates or officials and then go vote that we have these kinds of problems. And then we cry because the world around us is falling apart. Give me a break. Make an effort.
So that was kind of a rant. Didn't mean to be, just happened. But today there will be gym-ing!!! and meeting about a potential new business! and tutoring my girls! and applying to jobs! I'm amped and off to be productive. Ciao ciao. God Bless.

Shmacebook
So I am pretty confident that no one reads this blog. Which really makes it more like a journal, which I quite frankly need right now but I hate journaling. Blogging sounds more fun and is less painful to read/write.
On the menu for today! ...Or this week (really)!
Facebook
I got rid of it. It kind of drives you insane. I have almost one hundred photo albums that I will probably need to go in and reclaim pictures from but the new user interface just threw me over the edge. I don't want to see what everyone is doing every blinking second of the minute that I am online. I am just trying to stay connected to peeps. I may have to stick to g-mail and blogging. Not like anybody even pays attention to my facey, so ya know, it ain't worth it. Google may soon own my life. That's frightening.
International Sport
As much as I love summer (and in LA it still is summer because, you know, we only have 2 seasons) I think Fall may quite possibly be the best season for sports. There's no basketball to interrupt my ESPN highlights reel, Rugby season is happening on the other side of the world even though you can only web stream it, I get two doses of football and a healthy amount of baseball. Yup, Fall is awesome.
So I was just watching some ESPN and was shocked at the amount of errors happening all over the leagues. Was I just blind before? Blissfully ignorant? Or has the number of errors increased? I mean, it was pretty appalling. But anyways, Dodgers are so bi-polar it's a great reminder of why I converted a while back. But... Always happy to see a win out of those guys, especially against the Giants. Angels are still in contention for the wild card so I'm just being hopeful for a post-season. Post-season is fun and right around the corner!!!! Lesgoooo
Football. I cut back on my addict-levels of football this week, shocking, I know, but I did manage to catch a good amount of the NFL games (or at least the end of the games). This week was great, we saw a lot of victories from behind. It may not have necessarily been the desired team with the desired outcome but, those final 2 or 3 minute victories are the best/ most heartbreaking. The ones that happen in the final seconds are real gut wrenches. Love em.
The amount of injuries at the Eagles - Falcons game was a bit high which is concerning considering it is only the second week of the official season. Maybe because there was much more than a normal football game on the line, but whose paying attention. Having worked in the mental health field for a bit, Vick's concussion was particularly concerning. Football being the number one non-boxing sport in the concussion winners circle, it was not surprising, but the way that he sustained his concussion was... ouch! To say the very least. I hope his brain bruise heals quickly. He's supposed to start this weekend, looks like he'll be fine. Tony Gonzalez, I would just like to say that your touchdown was a thing of beauty. Kafka, you did good kid, got your bearings after a bit, just need to shake off some nerves.
Brady, I love your football skills. If I could marry them, I probably would. (But I don't want to marry you, just the skill set, is that possible/legal?) That's all that needs to be said. And can we just admire the awesome teamwork that Belichick has worked so hard to create and maintain? The offense is looking like buttah. And I did love Wilfork's interception. Who DOESN'T love a big man touchdown attempt?? Seriously, they just make everything better. *muah* Pats. Keep it up.
Despise the Cowboys (or Cowgirls as a good friend lovingly calls them) but you gotta give it up to Romo. He didn't choke! The guy had some really baaad passes but he broke his ribs, I'm gonna go ahead and blame that on the O-line. At the end of the game he did step it up for the W. Which is what counts. Well done, Romo.
I skipped out on watching college football this weekend in favor of some quality family time. But USC did win it! And it was a pretty decent spread, which I think the team needed, since Kiffin's attitude is doing absolutely nothing to boost team or school morale (seriously dude, take a class on that). A really good friend of mine is on D-line and he did great so I'm proud of him for that W too. As for every other NCAA game, I can't comment, sorry. Except for how happy I am that Oklahoma and Texas are NOT joining the Pac 12. Seriously, we're already at 12... 14 is just excessive. AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE PACIFIC!!!! Get out of my Conference holmes.
Rugby has been so exciting to watch! If anyone does end up reading this blog, and then reading this far down on the page, please please pick up your laptop/mouse/remote and find a Tri-Nations or world cup match to watch. Even a Seven's match! Just do it. Best sport ever invented. It needs to be bigger in the States. May be confusing at first, but give it time and you will fall in love.
Soooo I don't know if I blogged about it before but so far the US has beat Russia and lost to Ireland. I hope they do well in the match against the Wallabies tonight, because as a Tri-Nations All Blacks fan... I really don't like the Wallabies, and based on their most recent match it looks like the US could possibly stand a chance. But The US will probably not fare too well against Italy. I watched Italy's victory game over Russia and it looks like they've finally got their stride. South Africa really beat up Namibia last night with an 87-0 victory. My heartaches for Namibia, it's their first WC, you can tell they are trying, but they just can't win. Hopefully they catch a break soon, or next WC.
OK I think I've blabbed enough soooo I will go watch the rugby match and get to the next two menu items when I have time to gab again. Much love, be blessed. Ciao ciao

Developing Green
Below is a great article from the Economist about how development and "growing green" do not have to be separated and are not reserved for companies who can afford 'luxury.' I think that it's an inspiring article but am also a bit skeptical on reporting of green companies. You just never know if this is the only thing being reported on and, as the author claims, companies are doing apparent 'good' by being green to cover over a multitude of wrongs. Nonetheless, looking into expanding existing green development models and creating new ones is an exciting idea. And the fact that not all of these decisions are being made by the higher-ups in the company is very interesting, and gives the employees a greater sense of proprietorship in the company and it's future, contributing to stability and growth in a company. Well at least that's my take on it.
But knock yourself out, read the article, give your feedback. Have an awesome week!

Unhealthy Habits
My face has been glued to a screen for the past 16 hours.
Seriously I'm surprised my eyes haven't fallen out of my head. ESPN should pay me for all of the hours I have spent with their programming. Professional Football. College Football. Baseball. Highlight reels. Obscure sports. RWC 2011. Boxing. EVERYTHING! I mean the latter two were obviously not on ESPN because they consider NASCAR and golfing to be more of a sport than boxing or rugby. I need to have a talk with someone about that. But anyways. Back to sports.
Rugby World Cup 2011 is phenomenal!!! I wish that I didn't have to watch every game after midnight, but it's worth it. I am obviously pulling for the Amazing All Blacks, rooting against Australian Wallabies (they're called the wallabies, how seriously can you take them??) and the underdogs in all other situations.
Football. I love you. But there is a point of over saturation that no one can handle you. It all just blends together after 4 games in one day. I still love you, buuuut maybe it's time we take a break? It's not you, it's me. And my NCAA team is not doing phenomenally well, with the exception of today. Pats are killing it though!! Brady continues to impress me every week. Laser like passing skillzzzzz. How is your team doing? All 2 of you that read this thing...
Baseball and I kind of broke up last year. We're attempting to reconcile right now, but my darlings are not making it easy for me. Angel's are constantly a game or 2 behind in the AL West, Cubs are a constant heartbreak, you know... it's hard out there for a pimp. But I love the game, and I'm happy to watch it at anytime. (aka Angels tickets are appreciated tokens of charity)
Everything said, I feel really guilty for spending long amounts of time watching sports while working on random odd jobs throughout the day, since being back from Kenya. I don't really know how to curb that guilty feeling, but I do know that I need to cut down on my sports time, so maybe that will help.
Well peoples my brain hurts. So I am gonna wrap this up. Much love. May God bless the rest of your weekend and week! Stay safe.
O and be sure to steer clear of any Mayweathers out there. You might get punched while you dish out a hug.

Lame
So I know it's been a while.
I kind of fail at the consistent posts, as I am pretty sure I have some kind of ADD... and my internet just didn't really work in Africa, but I have no excuse now! Sorry 'bout that.
As you can guess, I have returned to The States (very reluctantly) and begun the great hunt for... wait for it, because it's going to be legendary.....
A JOB!
Yes yes, shocking I know. I mean jobs are just floating around out there, it should be so easy to grab one (if you have 5+ years of professional or executive experience, a masters, or any kind of business degree). Should have one in no time...
But less about me, more about you!! I'll be posting my top pictures from my Kenya experience so that you may enjoy them, critique them, hate them, cry at them, laugh, crash your computer with them, you know, the usual. (OK Please don't crash your computer with them because I have no money to take responsibility for that)
After that business is handled I will be sure to post about the adventures of unemployment, aka insanity, FANtastic football season, some beloved baseball, and the Rugby World Cup 2011. I know you are all really biting your nails in regards to the latter.
So sit back and enjoy my ridiculous rantings and reviews. And please let me know if you want me to come work for you, or if you hear of an open position for a stylist at ESPN because that would just be legendary. (Too much How I Met Your Mother I know, I'm sorry. It's the unemployment talking)
Much love, God Bless.

After that business is handled I will be sure to post about the adventures of unemployment, aka insanity, FANtastic football season, some beloved baseball, and the Rugby World Cup 2011. I know you are all really biting your nails in regards to the latter.
So sit back and enjoy my ridiculous rantings and reviews. And please let me know if you want me to come work for you, or if you hear of an open position for a stylist at ESPN because that would just be legendary. (Too much How I Met Your Mother I know, I'm sorry. It's the unemployment talking)
Much love, God Bless.
