200th Blog entry!!!!

Hey blog buddies, In celebration of my 200th blog entry, I have some exciting news. One of my BFFs and part of the Hag Harem, Pony Laura, has scored us 4 tix to see David Beckham when he brings his British hotness to Columbus on Sept 30 to play the Columbus Crew. Yippeee!! I hope I get to spot Posh as well. I love her almost as much as him. Azigaziga (that's Spice talk for those who aren't in the know). I could care less who wins as long a Becks scores a goal and takes his shirt off. Hmmmmm. Just the thought is yummy.

In other news, I still do not have a job. Maybe I need to sleep with some business exec to get one. After all that's how Lothian got her prestigious position at her job. I'm just not sure which manager it was. Prolly CFA, but not sure!!! LOL... Luv ya Loth, girl. Seriously, I am running out of options. I went to a staffing agency yesterday and in the long term it may turn out the right move. But in the short term, I may be working as an order checker (for lack of a better word). I would be at a PC all day and check to see if the orders that were processed match the original order. Fun and exciting I know. On the bright side, it is only a 2 month contract, so even if I hate it, I would only have to work there through Sept. We'll see. Unless some hot studly CEO comes calling soon, that may be my only option at the moment.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

**IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BOOK--- DO NOT READ THIS POST. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED BY LORD VOLTEMORT!!!**

I finished HP7 on Wednesday. Overall it was a good book. Not my favorite, which is still HP3 (Azkaban). HP7 tied everything up and still left room for sequels if JK Rowling decides she needs more money. So I know you're asking, What the hell happened? Who Died? Were my predictions correct? All your questions will be answered my disciples, patience.

First off, some of my predictions were correct, some, not so much. Aunt Petunia is not a witch. In fact she envied her sister for being a witch. One thing I loved is how Dudley is now a Potter fan. He actually likes Harry since Harry saved them from the dementors in HP5. That was cool. Most of the book centers around the main three, Harry, Ron ,and Hermione. While I missed some of the characters (Neville, Draco, and Hagrid), it showed how the whole series revolved around them.

OK who dies? Mad eye Moody, Dobby the house elf(which was the saddest death of all, tears in my eyes and all. I know, I am so gay!), Fred Weasley, Tonks and Lupin, and most interesting, Professor Snape. Snape it turns out is actually a good guy, has been all along. He was in love with Lily Potter since he was a child and vowed to protect Harry once she died. Dumbledore and he decided he would be a secret spy against Voltemort. He didn;t kill Dumbledore in HP6, It was setup by both to fool Volty. He died by Lord Volty's snake, but not before he told Harry to take his memories and see all his secrets. For the first time he actually cared about Snape. Even named his son after him (the bravest man he knew). That prediction was correct, Snape was also head master in this book.

We also learn that Dumbledore actually had human qualities, wasn't saintlike as he projected. He had a dark side as well. Not so far from Snape's character. The book end 19 years later, with Harry and Ginny married with 3 children (James, Lily, and Albus Severus). They were on Platform 9 and 3/4 preparing their second son to go to Hogwarts. Ron and Hermione are also married with children, Draco Malfoy is also their, apparently humbled by the earlier events and is a nice(r)guy. Neville is a professor, Professor McGonagal is head master, and Hagrid is still the groundkeeper.

If she does make another series, I like to see Harry become headmaster, with Ginny, Ron, and Hermoine all teaching at Hogwarts. It would be more about their children. We'll see. But for now, So long Harry Potter. Now what am I going to read?!!

This is the Land of the Free.... Right?

Bush Outlaws All War Protest In United States


In one of his most chilling moves to date against his own citizens, the American War Leader has issued a sweeping order this week outlawing all forms of protest against the Iraq war. 

President Bush enacted into US law an ‘Executive Order’ on July 17th titled “Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization Efforts in Iraq”, which says: 
”By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, and the National Emergencies Act.

I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, find that, due to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States posed by acts of violence threatening the peace and stability of Iraq and undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq and to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people, it is in the interests of the United States to take additional steps with respect to the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13303 of May 22, 2003, and expanded in Executive Order 13315 of August 28, 2003, and relied upon for additional steps taken in Executive Order 13350 of July 29, 2004, and Executive Order 13364 of November 29, 2004.”

Can you fucking believe it? GWB is no better than Stalin or Castro. This will not deter me from speaking my mind or protesting if needed. He is a fuckwad who needs to be replaced and fast!!! I don't really care who the next President is as long as he is not in power. January 20, 2009. Let's organize a big party, thanking God that his dictatorship will finally be over!!! Until then, Canada looks better and better to me all the time.

Tammy Faye

I am truly saddened that Tammy Faye Bakker Messner has died. I think she was truly one of the most fun and likable women there was. She loved gays and gays loved her. She didn't disciminate like many so-called Christians do, instead she loved all people the way Jesus does, gays included. Check out The Eyes of Tammy Faye on DVD. It is a funny and heartwarming documentary about her life. Rest in Peace Tammy Faye. Wear your makeup in heaven to liven up the place.

Pottermania

It's almost here! Tonight at midnight Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is finally out. What do you think will happen? I am not going to post spoilers here, at least not until late next week when everyone has had a chance to read it. I just want to share my theories on what I think will happen to the boy wizard, and I also want to know what you think will happen.

I think Aunt Petunia has been keeping a secret: she a witch just like her sister. Snape is actually a good guy who has been looking out for Harry's best interest all this time, although he didn't particularly like Harry's father. Snape will also become head master at Hogwarts. Dumbledore is dead, I'm afraid. No horcrux charm to raise him, however I think he will appear to Harry several times as a spirit (much like Obie Won Kenobe). As for the Gang, Ron and Hermoine will finally become a couple, but alas a tragedy befalls them as Ron dies saving Harry. Neville will turn out to be Harry's brother. Harry and Ginny also become a couple, but there is trouble ahead. I predict the boy wizard is Voltemort himself. Yes that's right, Harry Potter is actually the villian, not a hero. Neville will have to kill Harry in order to kill Voltemort. Sad. Yes. But what a twist it would be if Harry is actually the villian. That's a way to ensure not sequels.

Let's see how much of this is actually true. Do you agree with my theories or not? Let me know. Just please do not post any spoilers. Those of us who read slow won't have the book done until Monday or Tuesday. I'll post my reaction to how the Potter saga ends next weekend. Until then, happy reading.
