KNOST THE MOST

2010-07-01T13:34:00.000-07:00

Last Thursday Tim called to let me know he'd be picking me up at sunrise to go surf, to which I replied, "GOOD, I have a feeling we'll see Knost" He told me to "DREAM ON". Fri morning, getting out of the water, AL KNOST>>>> RIGHT SMACK DAB in front of me.....A morning to remember! I quickly scurried over to him to let him know he's the reason I picked up surfing, and to keep making the world turn! My day was the best!

A NOTE FOR YHE DAY and FOREVER

1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!

Things were very cheap that time; Encourage your children to invest.

2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with saving from delivering newspapers.

One could have bought many things with the little savings. Encourage your children to start some kind of business.

3. He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha, that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or fence.

Don't buy more than what you really need and encourage your children to do and think the same.

4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him. You are what you are.

5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company. Always think how you can accomplish things economically.

6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis. Assign the right people to the right jobs.

7. He has given his CEO's only two rules.
Rule No. 1: Do not lose any of your share holder's money.
Rule No. 2: Do not forget rule no. 1.
Set goals and make sure people focus on them.

8. He does not socialized with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch television. Don't try to show off. Just be yourself and do what you enjoy doing.

9. Warren Buffet does not carry a cellphone or has a computer on his desk.

10. Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago.
Bill Gates did not thought he had anything in common with Warren Buffet, so he scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for 10 hours and Bill Gates become a devotee of Warren Buffet.

---

HIS ADVICE TO YOUNG PEOPLE:

"Stay away from credit cards (bank loans) and invest in yourself and remember:

- Money doesn't create man but it is the man who created money.

- Live your life as simple as you are.

- Don't do what others' say, just listen to them, but do what you feel is good.

- Don't go on brand name; just wear those things which you feel comfortable.

- Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on them who are really in need.

-After all, its your life, then why give chance to others to rule our life?

2010-04-01T14:55:00.000-07:00

Miss Pickle, The day I met you, I knew we would be sisters! AND then the day you met Jeff, well, he pretty much stole your heart. I remember the day you got married and how cold it was, but how pretty you looked beside the temple. We've been waiting 9 months and now, Lucy will be gaining her physical body and entering her loved life, she's a miracle in itself. You are so lucky to have these moments and I've been so proud to have seen this all along the way! What an amazing story to tell....I love you Miss Nick!

Leaves have always spoke to my heart. They're the reason I want to live on the East Coast. The first shot is my absolute favorite! I'm heading to Utah this Friday, hopefully it will snow and I can get some Winter Wonderland to add to the round up! Hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving!

Most photos that I love, usually involve girls who are just stuck in a moment, its easy to understand what the artist loves, and what the subject means! These shots inspire my life and one day I hope to shoot horizontal just as well!

I'm Pregnant!

2009-10-20T20:44:00.000-07:00

JUST KIDDING!!! But my very best friend Bre is about to give birth and I have to keep reminding myself it's not my kid! We're starting to count down, we have about 5 weeks, I'm hoping for 3 instead! In every ultrasound photo shoot this kid has been in he's been caught posing like a true stud! We have the hand behind the head with the legs crossed, the knuckles posted to the chin with the legs crossed, and the wrist posted on the corner of the head with the legs crossed screaming, "look at me, no, DON'T look at me! LOOK! NO don't look at me!" The kid has charm!

All the Meanwhile Bre is just hoping that her limbs don't swell any more! Keep Miss Breanna in your prayers as she endures her first birth and this special miracle to come!

THE BEST FIT; COIN 1804

2009-08-11T01:30:00.000-07:00

HI EVERYONE!!!! LONG TIME NO SEE!

Im happy to submitt some great news.

All in all I consider this last year to be the hardest I've ever encoutered. Maybe the hardest I'll ever endure; Almost getting married, feeling stagnant in my career and education, learning how to walk a path alone, being faithful, and most of all trying to be strong when all I felt was abandoned and lost. I felt as though the Lord forgot who I was and I almost forgot his personality.

All that changed last week

This last year I prayed and prayed and prayed for some miracles to help me just breath and get through the day! Most of all I've been trying to get a job with my degree in the fashion field for about year. The truth is everyone wants to hire someone with experience but no one wants to give experience! If you think business is bad now, fashion was the first to fill the economies void of trade about 2 years ago. Since then, the market has been dry dry dry! I currently applied for a job where ill be working with designers and traveling to NY, Vegas, and subside in LA to work. Out of 60 EAGER contestants who the designer sat and interviewed personally, I was chosen as numero uno! I died of happiness yesterday. The designer told me she wasn't spiritual but she saw that I had honest eyes and that they were bright. She also told me that now I am family and with her I am to stay for years. The line I'm working with is beautiful and so so cute, They sell to Barney's, Sax's, Neiman's, Segal, Norty's ETC...I already received a free dress, sporting it as we speak! In addition everywhere I travel to my outfits will be accommodated for by the designer!!!! I start work on the 30Th in Vegas and then come Sept I'm off to NY and then back to LA!

As I've been praying to Heavenly Father for the last month I asked him for a job, in fashion, where I could learn everything but with quality and integrity. I asked that it be in NY but also voiced my concerns of not feeling stable enough to afford it all, and I ask that he protect me from the evils of that industry. Everything I asked for I got... a job, a designer with integrity, an affair with NY but not a marriage, and the singular feeling that God had blessed me with the most perfect job because I endured, was faithful, and earnestly prayed. I still can't believe this miracle has occurred in such a faltering economy. But nonetheless I'm so eager and excited to finally show my art, my flare, my gifts and run with them. I like to think as yesterday as a new chapter, and we've only just began....I think yesterday was the day I started my career! But mind you becoming a nurse is still my goal! Why have only one career?

Today I went out on a small hill to take pics. As I sat down in the wheat I became frightened that a snake might bite my butt. Luckily nothing happen, however I did panic when I saw some homeless man lying down in the same wheat field 20 ft away. Hahaha, I didn't know if I should be embarrassed or scared. I guess were never that alone. :)

horti-WHO!

2009-04-13T23:34:00.000-07:00

So, with great happiness, I'm glad to say my new obsesh...horticulture...I've been subscribing to Garden Design and my inner G-ma is coming out. This magazine shows all the hybrids that people are cultivating and all the fabulous ideas around the world. In addition, It premiers a monthly list of all the blossom fares that are around the state. I don't know about you but that BAA----LOWS my happy Lil' mind! As I was reading I found these hanging wall decors. OK, take a look again...they are plants that have been set with plaster and have a drip system connected flawlessly in the back so the paint of the walls doesn't damaged.Why didn't I come up with this! UGH....Genius!

This girl went to Nordic Angst school of photography.

I admire her work so much. It's borderline hipster which turns me off,

but nonetheless she captures such a light sensation through her photos.

This video is amazingly beautiful to me! It's packed with creativity. It's videos such as this that make me gain my strengths and hobbies. Not only does the violins to Her Morning Elegance by Oren Lavie make me swoon, the cutest red head ever imaginable(beside miss Nicole), makes this video look effortless and comfortable. Please enjoy as I did and get ready to melt!

2009-02-28T18:31:00.000-08:00

I took these last night during sunset. I live in the prettiest neighborhood. My favorite is the 1 and 4. I guess I'm always drawn to the more dramatic photos. Nonetheless sun flares warm my heart.

I was telling hill today that my mother used to take me into the Disney store just so I could get the same doll I had in quantities back at home. The classic Anastasia doll from Aristocats. It was a tradition, a must, an expectation to say the least. As you can tell from the picture above I payed homage to my gurls.

TYPOGRAPHY ENVASION

2008-12-01T22:22:00.000-08:00

Having a book to call your own would be liberating, but could you ever imagine trying to think of the amazing cover art to garnish your debut. Choosing from all the amazing typography would be heaven. My favorite out of this bunch is the first one listed below. How ancient does 1995 look?

2008-11-24T16:23:00.000-08:00

Fun, Fun, Fun! All these photos are Catalog and shot in Brazil. When I was in School there were a few classifications I associate with certain countries. Like Sweden's enjoy the hand of fabric and over accentuated lines, The Japanese work with short length patterns and geometrical shapes, and the Brazilians work it with spandex and zippers and know how to make the body look manipulated in all ways. Checking out these late catalogs for fall 08 reads that knitting has never been so sophisticated and the Brazilians are way ahead of Europe. What a shock..I'm loving it! I'm going to look into the market of Brazil and really study their clothing and try to see how it can inspire my lovely life!

Martha Wainwright....a women I would like to have a lunch with. She has the greatest voice, and her family basically is the mecca for gorgeous lyrics and song writing. Listening to her and Rufus make me want to be a Thespian at heart and go sing on my roof and right pretty lyrics.

MON < TUES< WED

2008-11-08T00:40:00.000-08:00

I wish every week was music week but for now I'll settle with this past Mon, Tues, and Wed. I took this last week off of work and enjoyed life. Monday I went to go see THE FAINT. Tues I went to go see INGRID MICHAELSON, and Wed I went to go see SHE and HIM. To tie it all up....I had all my girlfriends on different nights of the week to enjoy the shows with. Life would be the best if you could just see a show once or twice a week and go bananas! I had so much fun, Life is still amazing!!!

How did Halloween become my favorite Holiday. This Halloween has possibly been my most favorite holiday in the past 5 years. Heavy, I know! Everyone had so much fun, I couldn't believe how creative everyone actually was. I took so many pictures..I was nuts! Me, myself, and I went as the The Corpse Bride...Didn't Nicole do an amazing job on the makeup? Thanks so much Nickerbop! Friday was amazing

MOISTURE

2008-10-25T21:34:00.000-07:00

Looking at these photos makes me feel so alive. I love photography. Mark helped me a lot with this passion. His work is very symmetrical and clean. From that relationship I took a lot from it, but more so I evolved as an individual and eventually found the beat of my own drum. I'm saving up money to by a very, very nice camera. Photos such as these only make me lie awake at night wondering how I can take such amazing photos. Lots to learn, lots to learn.

LIL"S WEDDING

2008-10-11T22:51:00.001-07:00

THE AFTER PAAARTY!

PHEW.....Sorry to strain the eyes friends. How fun is this life??? Miss Jenn was married off this Saturday. Jennifer has been such a large part of who I have become. She has been the example beyond actions. Her life is so perfect, but only because she has gained and worked for the happiness that the gospel speaks of. She truly is a giant in my eyes and I have so much love for this bright inspiration. Her life is the cutest! Her wedding was gorgeous and Jenn herself looked like someone painted her...absolutely flawless. As soon as I stepped through the reception doors I was filled with tears. The spirit was so strong, unlike anything I've even experienced. Jen and Will's new life is more then blessed. I'm so happy for them. I love you Jenny!

After the wedding the girls and I headed to the proposition 8 party and it was BANGING! Life is so good to me...friends who are amazing and supportive, and an even better church to back it up! No complaints from this girl!

CRAIGSLIST: BE AWARE GIRLS

2008-10-07T02:18:00.000-07:00

So a couple weeks ago I sold music tickets to a random dude off of Craigslist. I conversed with this guy with about 3 emails. I ended up asking for his number so we could find a location to do the transaction. I offered to drive out of my way to go give him the tickets but he insisted that we meet half way. He turned out to be very chivalrous and then just said he didn't have a problem just picking up the tickets on the way to LA. I wasn't nervous at all considering I live with Jeremiah and he's always home during the day and carries his gun religiously. So, he picked up the tickets, supper nice, and we spoke no more then 40 seconds.
However today I was at home by myself, and he showed up. I was on the computer and I looked out the window because I heard someone walking up. We made eye contact and he just started walking back to his car. I freaked out and got on my hands and knees and crawled to another window. As I peeked to see what the heck this guy was doing, we made bloody eye contact again. He got in his car and drove off.
I want to leave a description of what he looks like. His name is Bryan Lawson from San Juan Capistrano, 949 412-6856, his e-mail is mayfish18@gmail.com and he's in his mid 20's. about 6 ft tall and has dark brown eyes as well as short brown hair. Both times I've seen him he's been dressed in blue and he's actually a very handsome clean cut man.
I don't know what was up with today but it really scared me. I don't want to take chances. So I'll leave this just as a warning and alarm to really be careful and be more wise then your oblivious friend Kristina

MY SUNSHINE

2008-10-07T01:51:00.000-07:00

This is my Best friend Nicole and her Father Ken

If I could take three things with me on an island, Nicole would be the first to go! She is my sunshine. When she's happy I'm happy and when she sad, my world is just that less filled with joy. When I joined the church I begged Nicole to be my friend. It turns out she had the same stalking habits as I did and we became buddies in a matter of no time. I think our relationship works best because I can cut her off and she can cut me off mid sentence. We just work so well together. I would do anything for her, she is such a large blessing in my life.
This past week Nicole's Father Ken was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease. This event has shaken the lives of many people, However Nicole's proving that anything is possible. With her fearless attitude she plans to invite 100 people to an event she's hosting in honor of her Father. On October 18th, myself, as well as many other friends and family will walk for a cure. We're inviting everyone. Please feel free to stop by Nicole's blog: http://ourdadken.blogspot.com/ and register. The more support, the more blessing we can provide for so many people. Please feel free to contact me and let me know how you plan to make miracles happen next week!

Turning it out!

2008-10-05T21:54:00.000-07:00

Today was Cindy's B-day. Hill and I crashed it by allowing ourselves some major kid action! We climbed poles...kick some random kids keysters during handball action, rocked the playground, turned it out with kart-wheels and in the meantime I managed to get some beautiful Photos of Miss Hillary! Sunday was so fun!

ASH M.

2008-10-02T21:57:00.000-07:00

Tonight was Ash's Birthday! A few reason why I love and admire this precious Gem.
I met Ash when I joined the church and since that day she has constantly shown me how to act right. She's receiving her masters, work a real job, follows a strict calender of events and at the end of the day never loses her testimony or her great unique style of being totally singular! I like to consider her as one of my more intelligent friends. She truly speaks well, and is so special, unlike anyone I have ever met. She is celestial goodness! I'm very lucky I have her and how I can be persuaded to do good at all times when she's near.

Early Monday Morning I met with my friend Phillip to catch up and get some hot chocolate during Morning rise. Here are some photos as the clouds gather for a light rain shower during sunrise.

It takes some large shoes

2008-09-25T02:04:00.000-07:00

As I arrived to work today my main lane was blocked off due to a Cop who had pulled over a car. Rubber Necking as I always do, I gather bits and pieces, "OK, so there's the car, probably speeding, or no license, wait, wheres the driver?" As I swerve around the blocked barrier what do I find but to my surprise on the other side? A small 5"2, 10 year old child laughing with his hands on the hood of the car. I DIED! I laughed so hard and couldn't keep my jaw in tact for a good 20 seconds. Thank goodness no one was hurt.

Photographer Nosniv captured these photos best and really made my heart smile, showing that not all male children behind the wheel are wreckless, and condoning such an act really makes you laugh with joy!

Fall into it!

2008-09-23T01:36:00.000-07:00

Well, a lot of things have inspired me lately. I'm on fire. My mind will not stop and I'm so grateful for my enthusiasm. I prayed all week to really be inspired and most all feel guided towards what God would have me do while here in this beautiful life. For the last 6 months I've been settled on nursing and saddened about my departure in Fashion. However, the fashion bug is back and it's only from one specific source; my prayers were answered very clearly. This week has been as though I went to the optometrist and he prescribed a new set of lens. Everything I look at is constantly stimulating my brain. I'm in constant art, no brakes. This is the old Kristina I remember and I really do miss her, she was a lot funner. I faded away when the industry made me sicker then sick, so many egomaniacs and mean people. Looks like she's coming back for round two. Heavenly Father has been so clear to me this week and the blessings are so abundant. I feel closer to my goals more then ever. This time around, I'm going to have thicker skin, more opinions, and I'll create who stays in my fashion fueled frenzy.

Above, starting in order is some great finds. Top picture is from UK Glamour. Great color palette, I will be copying this look soon enough. Last 2 pictures is from a great Etsy shop "My favorite Vintage". Pleats and lace.... CAN I HAVE MORE PLEASE!

Textiles

2008-09-23T01:11:00.000-07:00

TEXTILES

OK, so the latest textile warming this heart of mine came from a sweet chick by the name of Yasmine Surovec. She is a very pretty lady and serves as an accessory designer. I'm currently stalking her, asking if I can be her intern. Keep the fingers crossed on this one! I would actually move location for an internship such as this. Knowledge is power ladies and gents!

Absynthe Minded

2008-09-23T00:50:00.001-07:00

I have no idea how such good music deserves such crappy videos. These 2 videos are very,very bad, but if you close your eyes and listen to the beauty I'm sure you too will appreciate the band Absynthe Minded as I have. However, there is beauty in everything and I made sure to cling to some unique aspects alongside the videos. With the first video, as the girl walks in through the lit hall (Frame Time: 1:02).It's actually very beautiful and calming, she steals the show and then the video desperately turns into some models attempt for a man to listen
As for the second video the best shot( Frame Time 1:30) is when the girl lies her white sheet in the middle of the grass and just lies there...very pretty, very quiet...good idea!
Either way you look at it...both songs are great and different...LOVE!

SATURDAY!!!

2008-09-21T19:55:00.000-07:00

This past Saturday was very eventful!!! I woke up a little sick, nonetheless spent some quality time reading and then moved on to what was really important---THRIFTING! I found some glorious curtains for a skirt Nicole is starting to make. Can't wait to see the end product. After shopping I headed over to Ashley's for the revival of my life. This girl introduced me to Mango, something of which I have stayed far from due to it's cousin the Papaya. I fell in love Saturday, it was magic! After Ash's I headed to Nicole's and we put our two heads together and starting cutting away at great fabric. More of that to blog about in the near future! After our snipping I went with Nicole to her new, private salon. It's so great and independent. I'm very proud of her and her willingness to venture into scary territory all by herself. She chopped of my bangs and we headed home!

On my way home I caught Dinner at Lucille's with some of the girls. It was a perfect day with lots of creativity in the air! Throughout the day I took pictures of whatever struck me as beautiful. My favorite was taking pictures during mid noon of all the flowers and colors.

Fall is around the corner and I never been more ready for a season to be delivered.

Pizza Party

2008-09-16T01:50:00.000-07:00

Tonight Hill, Terry, Frac and I went to dinner and enjoyed this wonderful pizza above. I don't really like blogging about randomness like this but what's the small joys in life if you can't share them.

My life has really been charged with vitality this month. I feel restored and beautiful again. I don't wonder and I don't challenge time.

I'm just Happy to be Happy.

Saturday Night Din Din

2008-09-13T23:46:00.000-07:00

Tonight some of the girls and I got together and had dinner. It wasn't the usual mass, but it was very cool getting to be somewhat alone for a while.

Style Emrgency

2008-09-11T02:52:00.000-07:00

That's right I'm cutting it!
Nicole, my beloved Best Friend, and amazing hair stylist. I know you are jumping for joy as you read this and probably cannot wait to get your shears on my locks. Give me patience...this is what were going towards.

This week I gave away 75% of my wardrobe. I'm tired of everything I own. I have no creativity left to cultivate and raise. Usually when I go through such radical decisions it's because I'm sick of my style and what it showcases. I'm a creative girl who needs no boundaries. I'm sick of thinking that long hair is the only way I'll feel pretty. Short hair.... scary thought, but how posh will this style look with a great fall coat, a longer neck, broad shoulders and an even better way to show a fresh clean pallet of makeup for the seasons arrival

The style I'm reaching for no longer requires bangs, black, and mysterious. I want to go with fresh, confident, and light. I think it's time I cut the hair!

Spanking because I'm good at it!

Spanking boys on the court should be against the law! Especially when I come laced with silver moon boots and tube socks.

Castledoor

2008-09-04T23:39:00.000-07:00

Castledoor; I fell in love on Thursday nightI was in love as soon as I listen to thier song titled "fall Apart". That song really left an amazing feeling within in me. I love when music does that, don't you? I listened to the remainng album, it was actually very, very good!
Well, this big ol' group is from Silverlake, can't you tell??? They're full of "FLAVA FLAV". In honor of my Jealous Haterade parade; I'm gonna say they all should consider showers sometime this year. But...in all fairness everyones hair looks BANGING!

I always seem to like pictures that leave you wondering and wanting more. Playing with the exposure on Labor day.

Colossal Squid

2008-09-01T01:44:00.000-07:00

So tonight I watched this Documentary about Colossal Squids on the Discovery Channel. If I was a big weirdo I would probably study these amazing creatures. But lets remember who does this crap, people who want to be squids and wear their skin to their birthday parties.
So some fun facts for all my Friends. These Specimens are known for having the largest eyes in the world, and a male has never been caught or studied. Males and females are distinguished by an extra arm. Males use their extra arm to mate. They have odd grueling teeth hooks lined generously throughout the tentacle to capture prey. AND get this, they weigh 2,000 pounds and their brain weighs no more then 2.5 ounces. A little help... 2.5 ounces is like a ball of yarn. Scientist and marine biologist love studying these mysterious sea Masters because their very smart, can not be identified clearly, and are very very rare.

I REALLY REALLY hope my kids are this absolutely awesome!

I'm creeping my own self out

2008-08-28T01:24:00.001-07:00

Lately, I'm creeping my own self out Besides my love for dogs, when did I become so creepy with my animal obsession? Okay...admit though, how cute are these teenage Panda Bears. I'm pretty much convinced the Chinese put something in these bears water, because the last I remember Panda's were never this cute, or smart enough to "raise the roof" or sleep in human beds.

Contemplating Connecticut

2008-08-23T01:42:00.000-07:00

Contemplating Connecticut Contemplating Connecticut.... California just doesn't do it for me. I want fresh air and trees that will hug me back. Houses that look like homes and porches to prove it! I woke up today with this as my first thought, it was so random, pretty sure it was God knocking on my door.

NATURE VS NURTURE

2008-08-17T22:33:00.000-07:00

NATURE VS NURTURE
Saturday Morning I went jogging and it was just stunning. After my run, I ran into the house, grab my camera, and headed back to the same trail I just ran. I spent about an hour loving the sun and taking pics of what warms my little heart. Just when I thought I was done I was almost killed by some stupid lizard that popped out of this ivy. It was huge! I realized that the lizard was so scared also and it just stopped and froze. I was brave enough to take some close shots of the monster. They actually turned out great. But, since I hate reptiles with a passion, there's not a chance that ugly thing will be anywhere near my stock pile. Enjoy the sun!

Where do I sign

2008-08-15T01:48:00.000-07:00

Where do I sign?

2 questions? Where do I sign for such a cute and naughty dog? When did dogs start breeding with goats. If i were a dog it would have to be this one, goat and all. Being caught red handed never look so cute!

Nina Persson

2008-08-15T01:26:00.000-07:00

NINA PERRSON

I started looking at some old videos and ran across the beautiful Nina Persson. Out of all the people who really fascinate me, without a doubt, she is ultimately my most female vocal singer. Every time she sings she gets this look on her face that just astonishes me. It's like watching an artist with a paintbrush. They get sucked into an element, a dimension where nothing matters except the art. I idle that goodness! If I could have an ideal day, It would consist of waking up early, working out, eating a great breakfast, getting into a jet and being flown away to Sweden or some plush part of Europe only to end my evening with a presentation of The Cardigans. Whenever I listen to their music I come to the conclusion that The Cardigans as musicians are pure LEGENDS! One day I will fly to see them and it will be a highlight in my life!

2008-08-13T00:51:00.000-07:00

Architect Eric Clough

2008-08-08T01:54:00.000-07:00

Architect Eric Clough

For the past week or so I've been really thinking about different types of architecture. Not so much designs but more so the people that are gifted with this power to make buildings convey an emotion of utter disbelief. I so badly would like to be that person who makes people gawk. I guess I'll just settle for being awesome! BUT on a more serious note get a hold on this. FHE here I come!

Architect Eric Clough was commissioned by a family to redesign their 5th Ave apartment. The father, Mr. Klinsky suggested the architect hide a poem he had written to his family in the walls of the apartment. This idea dominoed a project that involved key sculptors and writers to design an intricate scavenger hunt in the apartment for the hunter-gatherers of six to do together.

It involved puzzles, lasers, and door knockers that come off doors to mold to new puzzles. Keys hidden in cubbies behind artwork which fit together to form magnetized cubes which open a series of units which reveal the poem the father wrote for his family. There's lot more mystery where that came from. GO! and Read the article!

Angie Muldowney

Angie Muldowney; my new purchase

I recently bought some photos from the UK, from Angie Muldowney. Today they arrived in the mail. This one so far is my favorite for a couple reasons. A) she used a view finder for the photo, B) it's extremely hard to get this close to a horse and photograph a tight shot, C) how rad is the color and print. I framed it tonight and it's currently hanging next to some of my closest friends and family!

Magnet & Gemma

2008-07-25T01:14:00.000-07:00

Magent & Gemma

All day I've had songs stuck in my head by these two artist, Gemma Hayes and Magnet. She's from Ireland and he's from Norway. I started youtubing my life away and started watching some of my favorite songs/videos. Both these artist make me so HAPPY. Hope you love Gemma as much as I do!

SWATCH IT SISTER

2008-07-20T22:52:00.001-07:00

If anyone knows me best they first and foremost know that I worship textiles. I love the science of it all, and so dearly appreciate the engineering it takes to make fiber a math all on it's own. Fashion stinks, textiles blow my mind! Check out these latest designs by BonBonkakku. They'd make for great pillow swatches and drapes.

I LOVE MY HEART

2008-07-18T03:26:00.000-07:00

Heartbreak comes to us all, it might come once, twice and even more times then we’d like to advance into. It comes like a storm, destroys what was once was tangible and concrete, and sweeps the surface only to have you rummage through lost items and cry over what was etched in your mind as memorable. How to deal with breakups really depends on the cognitive strength you’re willing to immerse your spirit into. It’s a science no one ever gets right until surrendering becomes your only strength to be better. I'm better today then I've ever been.

THE VERVE

2008-07-16T01:39:00.000-07:00

LOVE IS NOISE

Favorite song of the week goes to...THE VERVE. Remember the song "What is love", (Night at the Roxbury), how much do they resemble eachother? This song has made my week a little easier.

LISTEN AND LOVE!

Will those feet in modern times Walk on soles that are made in China? Feel the bright prosaic malls Through the corridors that go on and on and on

I was blind didn’t see What was here in me I was lost insecure Felt like the road was way too long, yeah Cause love is noise and love is pain Love is these blues that we’re feeling again Love is noise and love is pain Love is these blues that I’m singing again, again, again

Will those feet in modern times Understand this righteous anger Recognize this world’s addiction Understand this world’s affliction?

I was blind didn’t see What was here in me I was lost insecure I felt like the road was way too long, yeah Cause love is noise and love is pain Love is these blues that I’m feeling again Love is noise and love is pain Love is these blues that I’m feeling again Love is noise, love is pain Love is these blues that I’m singing again Love is noise, love is pain Love is these blues that I’m singing again, again, again, again, again, again

Cause love is noise, love is pain Love is these blues that I’m feeling again Love is noise, love is pain Love is these blues that I’m feeling again Love is noise, love is pain Love is these blues that I’m feeling again Love is noise, love is pain Love is these blues that I’m feeling again Come on, come on, ah come on, ah come on Now come on, now come on, now come on Now come on

Will those feet in modern times Walk on soles made in China? Will those feet in modern times See the bright prosaic malls? Will those feet in modern times Forgive me all my sins Love is noise Come on

LADY GAGA

2008-07-15T01:28:00.000-07:00

LADY GAGA

I watched the Miss Universe Pageant this Sunday and the featured performer was Lady Gaga. A few things struck me. I wondered why thy choose to use her, since it was a far stretch from anything the Organization usually promotes. I was mostly concentrated on her outfit and her whole look. I couldn't quite grasp why she looked as those some stylist dressed her up as a Balenciaga mannequin. BUT with a little research I have become very impressed with this Italian Hottie!

She graduated from art school in NY, writes songs for various artist such as the Pussycat Dolls, designs all of her clothing, and even creates props for stage effects.
Her voice is amazing, and she has a BOLD BOLD ATTITUDE

After the assessment, I get it, this girl is crazy and I love it!

KOTO BOLOFO

MY LIFE ON THE D LIST

Lately my guilty pleasure consist of Kathy Griffin. This women continues to amaze me. I feel completely torn when I watch her show because she's a little bit of a dirt ball. Being dirty has never felt so good! My favorite part of the show this week had to do with her commenting that she had "magic hair" , don't we all! She's a funny women. I so look forward to the remaining shows.

MOVING DAY IS THE VERY BEST DAY!!!

2008-07-03T01:44:00.000-07:00

Moving IN and ON....
Today I move to Fullerton! Considering this last year, this is a great acomplishment. I've graduated, cleared my name of debt and am finally able to bring MS. Kristina Steves to the table. Most of all, this is the year I turned into an adult. I don't know what took so long, but it's here. However that doesn't change the fact that I will still love having younger friends and trying to act older then I really am.
