Congratulations, It's A (Couture) Girl

Hey duckies. I've come to realize a lot over the past couple days. I've discovered that my life is so eventful (even without me trying to liven it up). In addition to my life always being festive, I've come to the conclusion that my life is truly mine. I am going to live my life exactly the way I want. Others are in your life for a reason. Conversely, your life is yours to govern. Of course there's like the law to abide by (no offense criminals) but life is meant to be taken advantage of. With that being said I need to concentrate on the relationship with myself.



I, like Samantha Jones (from "Sex and the City"), like testing my options and being single is going to be my way of doing so. Devin and I have decided that we need to be best friends right now because I'm too busy for a relationship. When my life goals are fully developed...I'll find a cure for my SamanthaJonesitis lol. Oh! I have a new word of the week (well phrase to be exact.) The new "Word/Phrase of the Week" is:

Caffed Up: (meaning) heavily dependent and effected by significant amounts of alertness medication or "caffeinated" elements; totally obliterated.
Ex: "My day goes by so fast when I'm 'caffed up.'"

Speaking of caffed up I was so caffed up at my mom's best friend's baby shower today.


(This is not a picture of the actual baby shower. I just thought this picture was so cheesy and tacky lol.)

I took a 5-hour energy and a Red Bull...at the same time. I have no idea how I'm alive right now lol. Anyway the baby shower was so glamorous. My mother designed the whole thing with her "vision." She put up white and pink fabric with coordinated streamers, African-Wildfire Orchids (well that's how they looked), pearl tablecloths and everything else A-list. However, everything didn't go smooth while planning. Here's a video to show you the sass everyone had to deal with because Mommy had a "vision."



Yeah...talk about sass. But sass aside my Mom is a gem. The baby shower was a total hit and the sass was well-deserved lol. Joy (my mom's best friend and baby shower "it" girl) got soooooo much stuff. She got over $1,000 in cash, gift cards and tons of gifts. (When we brought all the stuff into her apartment's family room, we could barely walk without stepping over anything.) One of the gifts (courtesy of Gabriella) was a pair of pink baby Uggs. They were soooooo cute. Anywho, I was the baby shower's bartender so you know everyone was having a good time lol. After the shower, we started cleaning up and Gabriella & I came across some unattended balloons. (If you guys didn't know I used to be a helium junkie lol.) I recently taught Gabriella how to successfully obtain helium out of a balloon without popping it; watch the skills in this video!



...she's so precious.
Now watch what happens when an addict is given his drug of choice. Viewer beware lol.



I've made peace with the fact that I'm crazy and I wouldn't have it any other way. But enough about me, let's get to the quote of the day for January 11th:

"Friends are living, breathing extensions of your personality. Like your personality, friends are there 24/7. If you're friends only 'clock-in' (only) when its convenient to them, move on with your life; your personality will adjust."

I'd like to give a shout-out to a new blogger, a good friend of mine, Elle Fox. Her link is http://underratedchic.blogspot.com/. She's an A-list city girl with a life as entertaining as mine. Show her some love guys. With that being said, my energy supplements are wearing off so I'm going to hit the bed..literally lol. I wish you the best of happiness. Stay true duckies.

Peace, love & Obama,
Gabriel Anderson

The Unseen

Hey duckies. (Let me just get to it.) Due to some (very) unfortunate events, Devin and I were unable to see "The Unborn." (I don't even wanna go into details lol.) However, we did see "Four Christmases"



which was hilarious. My favorite quote from the movie was:
"You can't have families without 'lies.'" LMAO, isn't that awesome?! So clever. Kudos to the writers of "Four Christmases." Believe it or not, the movie wasn't centered around Christmas. It was about the power we try to have over our lives and how that power struggle affects others in our lives. It was deep.

By the way it's Devin's birthday today.



Happy birthday Devin! I know we spent your birthday eve together (and I was the first to call you on your birthday...even though I was sitting right next to you lol) but I just want you to know that you're amazing.
OH!
On our late night stroll (well early birthday stroll, for Devin) we saw this precious bulldog. He was pooping (lol) but I was like "OMG. A bulldog. I want one of those." So I walk up to the bulldog (after he finished pooping, of course) and make eye contact with it for like 5 seconds. All of a sudden, the dog's jumping on my leg, going ape-shit.



I felt like I was in the next episode of "When Animals Attack." The owner of the dog immediately saw this and calmed him down. (I later learned the dog's name was "Rome.") I wanted to pet him and Rome let me. After the fact that I was nearly-mauled Devin told me that I wasn't supposed to make direct eye contact with a dog because it's like I'm dominating him; I intimidated poor Rome. My bad Rome! I still love you. You're so adorable. (But don't you ever sass-attack me again. Kthanksbye.)

Speaking of attacking, looking back at last semester I feel like I left some of my true friends for dead. I hardly spent anytime with them. It wasn't my fault (entirely). It seemed like the same drama was happening with them and that gets old quick. If it's not "The Hills" or "The City," I'm not up for it.
In addition to that, I made tons of new friends...of course there was drama. But it was new, healthy drama; drama necessary for life. Anywho, I just want to shout-out my true-blue friend Lily for always being there. Even when I didn't call back (sorry) or didn't stop by your apartment as much (sorry) or when I didn't invite you to parties (sorry)...WOW. I was an a$$hole lol. But all I have to say is...



Like what was I thinking?! We're both so A-list. Plus, now that I have a BlackBerry we could go to lunch and stuff and put them on the table like true celebrities. Yaaaay, fame! LOL, love you Lily. Forgive my foolish ways.

In other news, Obama hit the cover of The New York Post yesterday...with other past presidents.



I'm not going to lie, I did not read the article. I didn't even have time to read my horoscope lol. I was at work and I saw a newspaper with Obama on it and I snatched it up. I did hang the cover in my office. (I just looked at it.) Obama is such a beautiful man. When I saw his last debate with McCain, I knew he was going to be president. I was so captivated by the suppleness of his skin and striking face and the accuracy of his well-tailored suit. I wanted to reach into my HD screen and touch his face. Whenever McCain spoke, Olay anti-wrinkle serum commercials kept playing in my head. Plus it looked like he had to keep tucking his neck-goobles in his collar.



(Yes, I just created the word lol.)
I'm glad Obama is going to be the Prez of the United States. Yaaaay (half) A-A!

Anywho, I'd like to take the time to shout-out a very special friend.



Axel, you always comment on my blog and you honestly make me feel so loved. We finally became friends this year (I don't know why it took so long) but every time you comment on my blog, IM me, Facebook me, or just speak to me...it makes my life. Thank you Axel. You are the $hit.

With that being said, let's get to the quote for Jan 9th:

"When you don't get your way, imagine yourself in the opposing force's shoes. Look at your view from a different angle and new methods of persuasion will blossom. This is your life (you should get whatever you want)."

Okay, I'm at work and I've yet to start actually working lol. I wish you the best of happiness. Stay true duckies.

Peace, love & Obama,
Gabriel Anderson
