Last Day of 2009...Make it Divine

New Year Promises

I don't usually declare New Year Resolutions, but this time I am making small promises to myself beginning with signing off my Twitter account. But before I break this meaningless habit I will first make my 1000th tweet before the stroke of 2010. I have about 30 or so tweets to go...a reachable feet considering I tweeted just under a 100 in one day back in August. (thanks for a great tweet-a-thon Ramon!) Follow me for my final moments on Twitter @Pippitt.

The second promise I have made to myself is to cut back on texting, especially when driving. I realized that 70% of all my incoming and outgoing texts are meaningless and only passing time. I mean look back to a couple weeks ago, I wrote an entire post on "How I can' t live without texting." It's crazy! It's time to cut the constant communication lines between me and everyone else!

It will be so liberating not being a slave to my iPhone. If you want to talk to me- CALL ME. People are forgetting how to have a conversation! Once 2010 comes so will a new law declaring any and all texting, emailing, ipod-ing while driving! There was a statistic I heard somewhere saying a person is 8 times more likely to get in an accident while texting. There certainly have been several times where I've had close calls.

That's all the self promises I have for 2010. So no hard feelings if I don't respond to your text message or god forbid not respond within 5 seconds. What are your New Year Promises??

Because I like it...

I love this song :)

Merry Christmas!!!

I hope everyone enjoys their Christmas and time with their friends and family! I tried to get Jackson to wear his Christmas collar, but he wasn't having it. I'll try and get a picture of him in his snuggie.

This will be good, that will be bad...

The Disney version of Alice in Wonderland was already created by drugged infused artists, but now the Tim Burton adaptation actually includes psychedelic crack heads as characters. Everything in the movie looks like how life would be if everyone constantly wore beer goggles. Johnny Deep plays the Mad Hatter and the Queen, played by Helena Bonham Carter, has a huge head and small tiny legs. The movie won't be out until early March, but check out the trailer...


One of my all time favorite movies is Robin Hood; Prince of Thieves, the one with Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman. I love everything from Costner's flowing locks to Marian's intricate gowns and of course the tree houses in Sherwood Forest. I was excited to see that a new Robin Hood is coming out staring Russel Crowe. My excitement quickly faded when I saw the god-awful trailer. The movie looks more like Gladiator meets 300...which it should since it's the same directors. Too many special effects and unrealistic settings will ruin this story.

R.I.P. Brittany Murphy

Sad news hit today with the death of the beautiful and very funny Brittany Murphy. She suffered cardiac arrest early this morning. Brittany was 32 years young. I am so stunned from this news and truly saddened.

IT BETTER HAPPEN

If I don't get a snuggie to match the one I just bought for Jackson I am going to be really ANGRY.

btw...War Eagle

In Case You Are Wondering What I Want for Christmas...

As we get older Christmas gifts turn into a few big items instead of Fisher Price and Limited Too stuffed presents. This Christmas has been slightly less exciting due to the fact I picked out all my gifts and even ended up paying for some of them. In recent years electronic Christmas Lists have been emailed out to my family members in attempt to avoid any creative out of the box gifts. I'm still trying to figure out if last years "edgy" gift is meant to be a shirt or skirt... Anyways, as the economy "recovers" slowly I figured those of you reading my blog could collectively buy me this gorgeous meantforbrittany purse.

No pressure, but this purse would definitely cure any writers block of mine :) We all win

**Update- I ended up buy the purse as a "first job" gift! Plus it was on sale!**

Cupcake meets iPhone

As the world becomes more obsessed with cute delectable cupcakes, I strive to create the most unique and smile-making designs. Although I didn't think of this all by myself, iPhone cupcakes are on my list of things to make. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to eat one too!

Life Without Texting

I can't decide if my life would be better off with or without text messaging. I try to think back to middle school and early high school when cell phones first emerged into our generation and wonder if texting was just as prevalent as it is today. Sure we weren't "allowed" to text during class back then but I also remember that AOL instant messenger was the biggest after hours activity. When did texting explode into a constant obsession?

If we didn't text we would be far better off for

the following reasons...

• No more frantically searching for your phone the morning after a gloriously sloppy night out to insure that you didn't send that racy stext (photo?) to your potential love interest, ex boyfriend or current boyfriends' roommate. Please please please tell me I didn't send that.... Many relationships and dignity have been lost do to drunk texting. Don't drink and text my friends.
• Misinterpretation of texts have gotten me in some serious binds. One wrong response and before you know it a full text message fight (TMF) has unfolded. If we stopped texting we wouldn't have to deal with page long bitch-out texts that never A. make sense or B. reiterate the point of the last text. Texting has been the biggest crutch for drama hungry people always seeking for the night fight.
• When exchanging texts, most of the information is mindless. I am tried of the "what's up" text or "I'm bored". I am just as guilty as anyone when it comes to this, but I am really going to cut back on my texting come New Years Resolutions. Unless you or I have something meaningful or thought provoking, I am not wasting my time.
• We would all be better drivers

Reasons why texting makes my life wonderful...

• 85% of the things I say though texts I would never say to a person's face. And that especially includes any annoying emoticons. A person can hide behind their texts and morph into a completely different, sometimes more outgoing and flirtatious person. I'll admit my texts tend to be far off from what normally comes out of my mouth, but it's texting courage that makes it exciting.
• Passing of time, especially at work. In some cases, like mine, I work in an environment that enables me to text as much as I please. It is cure of boredom I am convinced. Texting allows making plans easy and quick. I've already sent 5 texts since the start of this post.
• Constant communication. It's sickening how much in-tuned everyone is with each other's lives. From exact point of location to exact place of mind, texting allows us to share every second of our lives with our friends.
• I never thought I would say this but....I love texting my parents. Over time they have drastically improved and no longer send jumbled words or OVER USE OF CAPITALS. With my family living in all different states across the U.S. texting has become a go to way to catch up and communicate. However I could do without the plethora of lol's Mom...

We all probably text too much. Telling everyone your whereabouts and explaining your latest trip to the bathroom is all too unnecessary. It's intriguing when a person is somewhat mysterious with their life!

Talk about text obsessed!

I Miss Her Too...

I don't know what has happened to me, but I don't like it. I am bringing back the Pippitt I knew two years ago. The irresponsible, spontaneous man-eater and the life of the party. If you remember my Boosh Magazine articles, you are in for a personal treat! Effective immediately.

Douche Bag of 2009

I absolutely love Scott Disick and all of his douchery. His smirks, ego slicked hair and overall laziness. Everyone seems to hate him but I think he is awesome. Hands down the most hated reality tv star since Spencer Pratt.

Those of you living under a rock, Scott Disick is Kourtney Kardashian's boyfriend and the father of her much awaited son. Even though Disick looked like a weasel and even his name is chachy and straight up sleazy car sales man.

I would say lay off the hair gel and leave the florescent colored shirts in the closet, but that's why E! obsessed reality minions love you :) Keep up the good douchery!

Swine Flu

Yep, I got it. Well, I had it...

After three days of missed work and a long weekend of hell, I have finally recovered from the ever ominous H1N1. But it just goes to show that even with all the hand washing, flu shots, anti-bacterial and avoiding the sick, I still managed to get sick. Too sick to even blog and text! Imagine!

So tomorrow starts the return to the grueling work week and with only one weekend left until Christmas I just know it's going to be stressful.

But Keeping Up with the Kardashians is coming on.....update you later on my post swine flu.....

My Top 10 of 2009

This year was big for me! Here is a run down. I hope to make the last three weeks of the year the best three weeks!

10. Getting bangs and liking them

9. The inauguration of Obama into the White House

8. The death of Michael Jackson (most sad moment)

7. The explosion of Lady Gaga into the music scene

6. My first private jet experience

5. iPhone picture messaging

4. Traveling to London and Berlin

3. Adopting Jackson

2. Landing a job

1. Graduating college!

Personal Confession:

I broke down. I read Eclipse in one week.

Tim Tebow is a Cry Baby

Yes the game was emotional. Yes he blew it. Yes it was his last real college football game. But in no way is it okay to cry your eyes out after a loss during a national televised interview. Save if for the locker room! Tebow stop crying your heart out you had a good run. Even though you broke your "promise"

These people can't actually exist...

I watched a few minutes of the new TV show Jersey Shore on MTV last night only to be dumbfounded by the extreme lack of brain cells these people posses. The show is basically The Real World with all Guidos and Guidettes. These products of over tanning and fist pumps vacation at the Jersey Shore for summer and make out with anyone with legs. All of the cast members have nicknames like "Snooki", "Jwowow" and "The Situation". My favorite character (he looks more like a cartoon than a human) is Paulie D. He has a tanning bed in his house and covered in tattoos and piercings (yes, even "down there"). As I watched with my mouth hanging open from astonishment, I had to ask if these people actually exist of if they are just playing up their Staten Island roots for the entertainment of good ol' fashion reality TV. Truly great heinous television you will love to watch. For endless laughter and ego booster watch the intro video to Jersey Shore.
