Happy Birthday My Darling Girl
My Dearest Maia:
You and Matthieu have been the greatest gift God has ever bestowed upon me. You possess a strong spirit, though you may not know how to control it yet, I know in the future you will be able to stand on your own two feet, hold your head up high, and overcome any obstacle that goes your way.
You are so beautiful, I am beside myself with pride for it’s hard to imagine I could actually have a part of me in you. Your father, brother and I will always be here for you.
I love you so so so much. You and your brother are my love and devotion. My world…my life. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAIA!
With love,
Mommy

I don’t mind if someone befriends me here. Am not goin’ to reject you…but there is a ridiculous number of gormless asshats out there who spam crap on the bulletin boards…saying what exactly? “Stop Posting too much”. Kiss my brown ass you reprobate!
I am not gonna say I’m a paragon of finesse…some of you think I am crass. I just say how it is. I have been silent and polite all my life and everyone has taken advantage of that while I sit listlessly and swallow every bitter jagged pill of guilt and bullshit shoved down my throat. Well I am not gonna stand still and shut my loud trap anymore.
I am not a fan of preachy people…people who are self righteous. It is not my bag…not my cup of tea. The most fun I’ve experienced with new found comrades are the ones aren’t necessarily religious…not necessarily PC. But they all are fine, law abiding citizens. With that I am grateful to have met: Anahatha, Laura, Michelle Ann, Cecilia, Wendy, Zubin, Veronica, Myra, Ruthie, Jessica, Stacy M (yes darling, YOU), Kevin, Tom and that one lady during Wednesday Vinyasa Flow class whose name escaped me. Stupid Gretchen…
I discovered that a lot of times we were raised and coerced to feel guilt….about everything. That can’t be helped. That’s how our parents and their parents before them were raised. The pearls of wisdom that most of us were taught included us fearing a deity or else feel his wrath once armageddon comes. It is a power that holds us and binds us…the power of control.
So judge me all you want, that doesn’t make you better than me or anyone else. If you think I’ve stepped over the line of coventional behaviour, I’m not gonna cry over that. So I speak my mind. Does that make me morally bankrupt? What can I say, I’m an abiguous, hard headed, freak of nature. This is me…who I am…love me or turn away.
NY Loves House
Current Mood: Going Crazy for House
Music: Randy’s Song by Jonathan Butler
Go get a life Desperate Housewives…Go hit the road Simon…there is someone more cantankarous and reeking with sex and his name is Greg House.
Hugh Laurie was hotter than Simon Cowell last Tuesday - at least in New York.
Laurie’s show, "House," named after the cranky but brilliant diagnostician he plays on the Fox hit, got more Big Apple viewers than "American Idol."
The margin was just 30,000, but it’s a start.
The prior week, "House" was the top-rated drama on television, beating even ABC’s "Desperate Housewives" to take third place behind "Idol’s" performance and results shows.
Unsurprisingly, Fox has picked up the show for a third season.
Laurie’s Gregory House, M.D., is often nastier than even Cowell - he’s a grumpy, slightly crippled and cocky prodigy who is consistently sarcastic, rude, insulting and practically intolerable.
The role won Laurie a Golden Globe for best actor in a television drama earlier this year.
Although Laurie is an Englishman who still lives in the U.K. with his wife and three children, his American accent is so flawless that it’s unlikely the average viewer has any inkling of his nationality - or that even though the show shoots in L.A., he has never relocated.
A household name in Britain, Laurie, 46, chummed around with Stephen Fry and Emma Thompson at Cambridge and starred with Fry in the well-loved BBC comedy "Wooster and Jeeves."
I am one of House’ girls…
Current Mood: is giddy despite extreme acid (no; not drugs you buffoon) activity brewing inside own stomach
Music: Solar Quest by Singtree (which is a good workout tune for yoga stretches IMHO)
OMG! **jumps up and down**
This is one of the best articles about Hugh/House I’ve read this year. It’s definitely "squee" intense (at least for me and my fellow Housians)!
Cuddy and Cameron are secretly hot for Dr. House, while Wilson just thinks he’s a jerk. This is not exactly scoop. But what if I told you that the actors who play these roles feel the exact same way about Hugh Laurie?
Then we have the very thing that had me giggling when I recently caught
up with the cast at a charity event for the Phoenix House.
More after the jump:
All I know is, if I were in the same room as Hugh, I’d have a difficult time feigning my disinterest in him. I’d be staring him up and down from his baby blue eyes to his muscular thighs (I was actually trying to rhyme but at the same time I AM speaking the truth here! I WILL gawk at his thighs like a fat person drools at the sight of an all-you-can-eat buffet).
Always the Ying and Yang…

“It is a truth universally known that as soon an area of your life seems to be ok, another falls spectacularly into pieces - Bridget Jones”. And how!
I can’t understand why everything can’t fall into place…why everything can’t flow harmoniously.
The moment I find solace in being with friends (and I’m not only referring to my ranting camarilla of House M.D fans and fanwankers alike), everything at home falls apart. Once I get that sorted out, my friends (and I’m also referring to my Yogi outfitters) seem to have forgotten I exist.
Thank God for blogging!
There are ridiculous moments I feel like a prematurely middle-aged spinster. If I had the resources (and by that I need a ridiculous amount of dinero), I’d buy me a house near the beach, learn to ride a bitchin’ motorcycle, have breast augmentation (yes I said it…judge all you want…Jesus will tell you it’s wrong to judge…**XD**), a nose ring, and most of all, my head shrunk (and I mean it in terms of seeking psychotheraphy).
I took an online test for depression and lo and behold, I have more than met the requirements. I’m not sure how valid these tests are all I know is, receiving these less than exciting results provide me with little consolation.
You’d think by now I’ve learned to live with disappointments. What I’ve only learned so far, is to ingest a bit of the heebies and have a cup of the jeevies. Just admitting that online is scarying me ad infinitum…
“Sahasrara” is strong with me

I always thought my strongest chakra radiated from my anus…seriously, it’s the 2nd chakra otherwise known as "Mulabhanda" or the Sacral Chakra. It would make perfect yoga class conversation…
I can see it now…
Gretchen to fellow Yogi -
"Hi, you’re gonna love this class. MOTK likes to kick our asses, but you’ll feel really great by savasana **thinks of masochism** Oh, by the way, my stongest energy comes from my anus! What about you?"
————————————-
Gretchen, your most positive energy is flowing from your Seventh Chakra
This chakra is located at the crown of your head and represents the
seat of the soul. The seventh chakra is associated with your connection
to your spiritual self and to the divine. In your case, this chakra
appears to be clear and unblocked so that positive energy can flow from
it freely. Radiating positive energy from your seventh chakra indicates
that you’ve cultivated higher wisdom concerning the important life
lessons associated with this energy center. You’re apt to feel a
greater bond with the spiritual world. You’re probably also more able
to live in the moment than most other people are. The seventh chakra is
the chakra of highest spiritual evolution.
Whether they’re allowing positive energy to flow or preventing it from
doing so, all seven of your body’s chakras contribute to how you are
feeling on a day-to-day basis. When they’re balanced, you feel
energized and at the top of your game. When they’re unbalanced, you may
feel tired or ‘off’.

Current Mood: my heart is making farting sounds
Music: Love Song by the Cure
Weird things seem to be happening at yoga class lately. MOTK seems to have grown an attachment and curiosity towards Anahatha (I am actually bringing my two favorite teachers together…’cept I kinda DON’T like it one bit…because as a classmate, MOTK is stealing MY thunder…what an asshat). And Stinky Zubin is actually trying to be closer to me (which I find amusing since it’s making MOTK jealous). So what the hell is going on here?
This is what I truly feel like:
Hee-Hawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Current Mood: it’s hugsday today…isn’t that good news enough
Music: Un Simple Histoire by the Thievery Corporation
So I took Anahatha’s Hatha class…what’s different last night was, MOTK was with me as my classmate and not my instructor. If I didn’t know any better, the sweat that was escaping him wasn’t exactly coming from too much posing…yeah, I know she’s hot.
Too bad, you’ve been forever banned from stepping foot in Triad MOTK. I’ll put in a good word for ya…that is after she divorces her millionaire husband.
Anahatha thinks I should pursue teaching (”My God Gretchen, when are you gonna start teaching?”)…OMG. Isn’t she the sweetest?!! I’ll give it 3 years…by that time, I’ll be able to do a decent crow and side crow (which to this day I can not do without falling on my head). I’ll celebrate my 1st year anniversay September 9th…anyone want to join me in some nude yoga? **chirping crickets** Go ahead, I’ll just watch with my clothes on.
