Are we just too sensitive?


R we just too senssitive to hurt smbs feelings nowdays? I cant call smb a retard or gay just because im going to offend sm particular group. Why are we so senssitive? PPl arent equal, no matter how much we try hard to believe so. Yes, on paper we all fight for rights of equality but r we?
I told a caucasian friend yesterday that i didnt like black comedy. By "black comedy" i meant slangish type of comedy which maybe because of my foreign origin i just dont get. Just like i dont get "redneck jokes" because i have nothing in comon with country/redneck living and i dont find it funny. The white person i was having this conversation with jumped in my face stating that i was steriotyping black ppl. I dont believe so. I believe being black is a culture not just a color.
Im talking in this case about black people born in United States. Not Foreigners.
I believe people should express themselves freely withought being judged. Overdeffening something that doesnt need deffence only emphasizes the fragility of our preccious equality.
R we equal? r we really? I dont think so.
An African American Person has 80% more chances to get into a school of their liking, and get a scolarship compared to a white caucasian . So do they have higher chances of getting hired as Firefighter. So are they 90% better at sports. So do they usually have hardcore abs and amazing bodies. So, white ppl r u jelous?

My white friend felt the need of deffening....

I dont look at color. Color for me has no meaning whatsoever. I personally find dark people very attractive even though i have to admit i grew up in a semi-racist environment ( First time i saw a black person was when i was 12-13.

I have a problem with sensitivity. Why do we have to be sensitive. Why r we affread to speak the truth. Why are we affread to be judged. Why do we gossip. Why dont we love people for who they are and apprecciate and learn from their differences. Why cant we just accept that black/white/yellow/red is the same, but different. We can embrace the differences and love them. Being different only emphasizes how unique you are.

Dentist time...BOOOOO


So, lovely, I have to go to the dentist like 10 times before Christmas!!!
They are all refills to the root cn i have had before. All three of them. One i can understand because i had it done in 1996 or so and it was done by my middle school dentist. Total terrorist this one. I remember i was in so much pain. Whats with Albanian dentists and not wanting to numb ur teeth. They give you the most idiotic excuses about why u should treat a tooth with the nerve still screaming for help. Auuuchhh
THe other two i had done were done by an American Dentist, holly molly...Anyways...
I started with one a couple of days ago. My endodontist looks like he is about his late 20s which kinda freaked me out. Brand new out of Dental School :)
Second issue i have is why does the Dentist cost so much?? Im so sick and tired looking at Medical Bills costing so much money. He spent two hours on my tooth and there goess $200 out of my pocket. 20% of the $1000 Not only i pay insurance everymonth but than i have to pay again when i actually need something? Moi, not happy.
Its almost the end of October, kinda crazy. This week we've been all over the place and im thinking maybe By and I will take this weekend off. On Tuesday we went ON this cool activity. Trav and Kim invited us and we went on a Limo Ride to all these restaurants that had prepared this meal for us. My favorite was the salad and desert. Better than Sex desert. I say Have Sex and the desert afterwards. That would be hmm...insane :)
Work is going ok. I cant believe time has just gone by so fast. Next week is Halloween and i cant believe its here already. That means Thanksgiving is around the corner and than comes Christmassss...YESSS
My mom and dad r coming so im so exited to see them in Utah. Im ready for some snowboarding as well. Cant wait. I really need to work out. Ive gained so much weight its sick. Sick i tell ya. Both of us r just chubby and happy is what we are hahaha...

Weekend Fun



So, we're exited!!! Byron got done with his second term summer classes and we played all weekend long. Its been a busy summer so far with work and school and this weekend was actually super fun all around. We went golfing with Eric&Meg. I decided i really like golfing. I want to learn and maybe get myself a pair of clubs, why not!!!
Watched "Public Enemy" which was ok, went out to SUSHI ( of course )
Watched th UFC fight on Saturday and it was INSANE. My poor baby Mir got his face smashed pretty bad. We were at a sports place and it was soo busy there was no place to sit. Although this guy let me sit on his chair, that was nice. Its nice to be a woman :)
We had our anniversary on July 7vth but i'll write a special post about that a different day since im missing pictures.

4rth of July, 2009


Exept that we're both looking in different ways !!! :)
We always encounter this problem when we take pictures of ourselves. We usually laugh at it because we always say "dont look at the screeen" !!!!!....our camera has a screen that u can lift and rotate so u can look at urself while taking a pic...
This past week was nice at work. I had a fabulous schedule 8- 4:30 and it was awesome. It is the summer so its pretty slow.
Thursday was fun and irritating. Fun for all the wrong reasons, and irritating for all the right ones.
On Friday, we went out to Sushi, lovely and afterwards drove over to Weaverly at Travis's house, they were having a huge party over at their neighboorhood. We had a total blast. Came back home around 4:30 or so. I met a few new people over there and we had fun. These guys are attorneys that work in different firms around Lincoln and Omaha. Mostly all married, few of course having merital problems. Duh, if u're out partying at 3 a.m. and u're married but you come by urself while ur wife is sleeping....no wonder ur having problems. It happens all the time that i dont particularly want to go whenever Byron wants to go out and vice versa....BUT i will go, i think it is important for a married couple to hang out together. This last sentence may sound a little unnecessary since it is a given, but not a lot of people understand the importance of it.
Saturday was the 4rth of July. We went over to Lincoln and watched Larry, the cable guy. Ok, that guy completely annoyes me beyond reason. Could not understand a word he was saying. I gave up.We stayed for a bit and than left. Plus, it was raining and my hair was all over the place.
We ate at a mexican place while we watched fireworks. It was fun.
I feel a little sick, My throat was hurting since last week and i feel weak. Its Sunday and i better head off to bed so i get some sleep before i have to go to work tomorrow. This long weekend was way nice!!!

Memories...

Michael Jackson died on Thursday, June 25, 2009. The news was all over the place. A lot of people just made fun of the news or simply did not care. Elson sent me a text message and i do not know why i got so sad about it. I was driving home from work and they were playing MJ songs and i got really nostalgic.
I remember the time being in elementary school and going to my grandmas house after class, to wait for Elson to be done with his classes so that we could both go home together. I always remember MJ in the bakcground. I remember the little birthday partys, Mj always in the background. Oh he was everywhere.
I remember the first time i had a crush on a guy and the time he told me he loved me and i acted like i was NOT interested- still MJ in the background.

Time flies :( U're all of a sudden all grown up, married, working. Where has all that time gone??

My First Ticket

I was driving to work yesterday and i was ALMOST there, on Chandler road going to Southroads. I saw Mr officer sitting in his car right by a turn and i knew i saw him too late. I turned and there he came after me. I have been pulled over many many times since we've moved to Nebraska but never, NEVER did i ever think i was going to get a ticket this morning???!!!! I'm 25 years old and i have never gotten a ticket. I was so sad. I was cramping so bad yesterday and i was SUCH IN A BAD MOOD. Now i have to attent this stupid class which they have made it from 4 hours to 8 hours uhhhh.... NOT FUN!!!!
Im going through Broker Training right now at work and im not so exited about it. Its a bit confusing when u have to place trades for margin accounts auch. Although i have to be an expert by tuesday so i better learn it !!!!
