Daaamn girl, YOU GOT BALLS. Now have a little respect you effing loser.



Full story here:

Criggity-craaazy. In our society today where Big Brother is always watching?! Really Lindsay? Really?! That was a dumb move and totally ballsy. All I have to say is good luck in prison... chicks really have balls up in dat. They might be made of Elastomer and attached with a belt, but shit girl, they gonna be clappin you in the clink! HAHAHAHAH. I crack myself up.

Remember the horror movie "With Teeth?" Well it is now a reality.


Story from cnn.com
It's true.  Your vagina can have teeth.  The best part is that it's like a Chinese finger trap for a penis - once it goes in, it doesn't come out.  It's painful and the raper has to go to the ER to remove it. YES! Embarrassment AND conviction of rape all wrapped into one.

The only scary part is the chicks that will use this as a weapon instead of for protection.  Men... check the cave before entry.

Caught with her pants down and her cat on her chest... and dead.

Wow, I guess it truly IS possible to die having sex. Or masturbating to porn for that matter. Poor thing, she must be so embarrassed. Oh wait, she's probably not since she's dead... And how about the cat? I like to think that if I died my cat Linus would give me CPR and not just sit on my chest. Also, I'd rather die having sex WITH someone rather than alone watching porn with a vibrator... I guess the lesson is this: MASTURBATE WITH A FRIEND.

Great, now I have to keep this in mind while I'm watching 4chan. And if you don't know what that is, don't find out. It's the bowels of the internet. Seriously.

Online dating. Yup, I caved.

I did it. I have finally had enough of the lame and somewhat seedy, STD-ridden bar scene of LA. I am now an 'online dater.' I feel like I should stand up in front of an AA meeting and say, "Hi, my name is Amber, and I'm new to online dating." The thing is, EVERYONE'S DOING IT. Seriously. I have to thank my friend Buckley for finally convincing me to peruse the innumerable amounts of online profiles in the hope of finding "true love." I still believe it's possible. Don't ask me how I still believe it, but god dammit, I do.

Maybe it's the new collective consciousness... getting all of the small talk and bullshit out of the way and actually representing yourself as a real person- being who you feel you are, and standing for the ideals you believe in. Maybe it's the new chapter in the history of my generation. Or maybe it's just a fad. Only time will tell... well, that and the success versus disaster probability equation.

Thus far, I have had the most amazing experiences from this online dating thingy. For the most part, people actually are who they say they are, and represent themselves truthfully. Weird, right?! The internet, a place of complete desirable autonomy, a place where you can lie your fucking face off and have others believe you, a web of the dark possibilities of the grotesque, and a breeding ground of socially deviant behavior. Guess what? Your parents are wrong. The internet is becoming a vast tool for the masses, and incredible place of truth and discovery, a place of freedom and expression. It amazes me more every day. Well, until I go out on a blind date that turns into disaster, but so far so good.

Just don't be overwhelmed by the inundating amount of dating sites available to the average person. I've heard rumors that Match.com is just a hookup sight for floosies of both sexes... Eharmony.com is for ugly people... Craigslist.org is for the lonely loser, etc... who knows if any of this is true. My most recent discovery is OkCupid.com. It's like the google of online dating, and it's totally free. AND people are real and good looking! How is this possible? How did we all find each other? Word of mouth, people, word of mouth. OkCupid.com doesn't need to advertise. They just are... like moths to the flame, like attracts like. And I have been impressed by the vast amount of seemingly normal, down to earth, beautiful people I have stalked via profile views online. Haha... kidding. I'm never one to stalk.. that's just creepy.. especially since there is no voyeuristic mystery to OkCupid.com, it's all out there for everyone to see. Damn straight, that's how it should be.

All in all, I am embarking on a new adventure... so far, so good! And no, I will NOT tell you my profile name.

Joke of the day

 A chicken and an egg were lying in bed one night. The chicken was smoking a cigarette with a smug grin on its face, the egg looking thoroughly ticked off. The egg looks at the chicken and says, "Well, I guess we finally answered THAT question!"

My dreadlocks.... the mystery revealed.



Just about 5 times per day, someone asks about my hair.  It's a MYSTERY to them...  except for the ones that run up to me holding a picture of themselves when they used to have locks and tell me some reason why they had to cut them off.  I'm like, 'You carry around a photo of yourself with dreads all the time?'  I admit, it's kind of a brotherhood (and/or sisterhood, but it's always dudes who approach me about how dope their locks were 'back in the day'...)  or like a secret society of earthy people. I dig it.

That said, there are always those damn ignorant people who ask me the stupidest shit.  I was ordering a coffee one fine morning and the chick behind the counter says, "So you put manure in your dreads to make them like that, right?"  Really?! Really really?  Gee yes, I put cow shit in my hair.  What a wonderful assumption.  And thank you for that, you really made my morning.

So, let me reveal the incredible mystery that are my dreadlocks.

Yes, they are real and it is all my own hair.
No, I do not put manure, honey, mud, glue or any other kind of crap in my hair.
Yes, I wash it.  A lot.  Like 3 times per week, which is a lot for anyone with dreads.
No, I don't have to shave my head when I want to get rid of them, but I will have to cut my hair short since it will be so damaged.
No, I am not homeless, nor do I sleep on the street or in my car...  I pay rent and taxes and have a very lovely career.
No, I will not steal anything from you.
No, I am not stoned ALL the time.
Yes, my mom hates them, but they've grown on her since I've had them so long.
No, you cannot pay me to make dreads in your hair. Do it yourself, kid.

Also, I love when people play with my dreads, but come on, ASK me first.  I was at the Viper Room one night and this chick behind me just grabbed my hair... outta nowhere.  I'm never one to be rude, so I just kinda turned around and smiled sheepishly.  THEN she asked if she could touch them... hmm. Oh well, ok, since you already have been for the last 5 minutes.. keep at it.

All in all, I love my hair.  It's become a part of me...  they hold a lot of energy (Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet were totally right).  It's the stigmas attached to them that piss me off, but I guess it just comes with the territory.  If you want dreads, be prepared to look homeless for the first 2 years while they lock up.  And you will lose 1/2 the length of when you started them.  Yes, HALF.  Cops will fuck with you.  Your mom will hate them.  You will be pulled out of line at the airport.  People will ask you ignorant questions.  But on the bright side, you will attract like-minded souls wherever you go... you will also get smoked out a lot.  Like, a lot.

My bungalow oasis... aka where I live... and my neighbors.. hmmm.


I love my little 1920's bungalow near the beach.  I have a patio and a garden filled with tropical foliage, lavender, rosemary, mint, and I'm planning on planting some more herbs I can use for cooking...  Upon entry, you see a long walkway through a jungle of plants, trees and flowers... A little zen-like oasis in the heart of a bustling beach town.  And cats. Lots of cats... it's like a gang.  Every time I walk in I'm greeted by them and give them belly rubs to win them over.  Ahh it's wonderful.

But I digress.  This post isn't about how wonderful my home is... it's about the surrounding neighbors that freak my shit out.  I still love them, but damn, sometimes ya'll are scary.

The secret service came to arrest one of my neighbor for 'subversive activities.'  Uhhh... what?  What the hell?!  First off, I do NOT want any government officials skulking around my bungalow.  I read the book, "1984" and I know how that shit goes down.  Secondly, I had to get to the bottom of what the hell happened.  Nothing dramatic... just a man practicing his right to freedom of speech.  But in a post-911 society, freedom of speech means something very different now.  Post a few letters online about certain 'officials' kicking the bucket, and you can be sure you will go to jail.  Very scary.  Hmm... I guess that also applies to blogs.  Welcome to my censored blog.

Another neighbor has finally given up on trying to convert me to Buddhism.  Don't get me wrong... I have much respect for people who are religious, but please don't try to convert me.  I already dealt with the crazy born-again Christians growing up in school, so if you try to shove any of that crap down my throat, expect that I will throw up on you.  Just sayin.

Then there's the goth.  I always know when her laundry is in the machine.  Black.  But she's alright in my book.  The only scariness is the life-sized mannequin dressed as a vampire in the living room... every time I walk by I'm psyched out.  Gets me every time.  It's almost like Halloween every day...  oh and Halloween with the neighbors at the bungalow oasis is another blog post for the future. Note to self.

Another neighbor is a nice guy. Actor.  (As it turns out 'actor' in soft-core porn... that's a recent discovery for me).  The day I moved in, he introduced himself and said, "I'm a freelance gynecologist, so if you ever need a checkup..."  Hmm gee yes, I will be suuuuuure to take you up on that.

My closest neighbor is an avid Burner.  She's a little fairy who carries glitter in her pocket and fire dances on her roof at 4am, and doesn't sleep a lot.  We were hangin out once and I mentioned that I need to go buy some quartz crystals to maintain the positive vibes in my apartment, and she reaches into her pocket and pulls out a huge quartz.... I'm like, "you just happen to have that on you?" Amazing.

As eccentric as my neighbors are, I'm there too, so what the hell does that make me?  No judgement here... I only state the facts.  Maybe they think I'm the weird one because I have an indoor cat and frequent 'sleepovers.'  Who knows.

Ok, so I finally freakin started a blog... not sure how I feel about it yet.

Several of my peeps have been on my ass to start a blog.  Ugh.  Ok... yet another website to maintain, and talk about myself.  

On the bright side, I don't have to inundate my fellow facebook friends with my rants and raves... I'm starting to realize people think I'm slightly eccentric, but I'm ok with that... it's better than being boring.  And shit, what if all of my spaced-out ideas turn out to be viable?  

So if you are reading this, welcome!  And if you aren't reading this, well... your loss.  Maybe.
