what happens in vegas stays in vegas

DUDE....I couldn't buy a t-shirt that said that. Really. I didn't earn it.
they didn't have those t-shirts in Ontario...
do you know that the first night I was there(in Niagara falls),

I was wearing a mini-skirt with no panties...when my "date" bent over to tie his shoe, I shoved my shit in his face. in the middle of the street. people were appalled. Charlotte said I was gonna get us kicked out of the country....

I looked hot.... No official HNT.

and yes, I am using pics from her page. I'm drunk writing this. I can be tanked and still give peace a chance, don't you think? For Pete's sake ( I just had a blind date with a guy named pete...which, ironically, is the name of my first...ooooohhhhh ahhhhh love...he dumped me because I was poor)anyway. say what you will...but sunday, I'm leaving for the rainforest, so that I can do my part for our planet.

I love this pic...even if my head is cut off...

This is me. Alone at sunset. in my rented convertible. on pismo beach.

my friend Charlotte has some, uh, other, vacation pics from when we were at Niagara Falls last week... http://www.caronfire.blogspot.com

War is not the answer...

I have had a crush on "this guy" for months. Last night we spent a little over 3 hours on the phone, and I'm certain he never wants to talk to me again.
After an hour of extremely intimate give and take about life love and happiness...we moved on, to politics. We talked about what's happening in Iraq.
what we're doing, what we've been doing, doesn't work. and we expect it to. that's the definition of insanity. The conversation was extremely passionate. Both parties have a firm grip on what they believe serves this planet most productively.
At the end of 2 more hours of heated discussion, he labled me a pacifist (which, I don't think war is morally wrong. I think morals are ineffective......anyway) and told me that since I don't believe in what our country is up to in the middle east, I should move to a different country AND that I must be a sympathizer. that I must agree with the Taliban, since I am not outraged, and do not demand retribution for the people who died on 9/11. retribution? killing as a solution to killing? because I have evolved into a being who does not hate?
wow
he was so filled with anger. toward me. not just the situation. but because I do not agree with planned killing as an effective means to procure peace.
I haven't ever had a conversation like that.
fortunately he and I had that conversation, I'm convinced, so that we could both be exposed to something new for each of us.
My dear newlywed friend, thinks I need to find a way to stop running into people who are so opposite my value system. for a minute I was right on board with that. It's my prerogative to change my mind, though.
I'm glad he was able to see my shoes, even if he chooses not to walk in them.
Really, all I am saying is GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

gone again gone again...

Ok, so so far, I've built some houses in Tijuana, driven up and down the California coast in a convertible, and spent a topless week in Vegas. Tomorrow my dear friend Charlotte and I, will meet up in Niagara Falls for five days of more fun. Watch CNN for reports and updates...I"m SURE there will be film at 11!
Hell, who knows, maybe I'll get lucky with the digital camera, and there will be a slide show...

(by the way, thank you Seamus. THAT is the perspective I will look at that from, from now on!!)

viva las vegas

I almost did something in Vegas that was t-shirt worthy. After an evening of incessant blackjack flirting, the CEO of a company you've probably heard of, took me to an exclusive club. We drank and danced. Made out, and oohhed and ahhhhed at the Strip from the balcony of the 62nd floor. He was the epitome of the Pretty Woman version of Richard Gere. Stunningly attractive, successful President of an up and coming company, and a buyer and seller of businesses, complete with a self-professed complicated life--all rolled up into a man who definitely made me feel nothing less than Julia Robertsesque.
So we're totally mugging down, groping, giggling...having an out and out blast funtime extraordiare...and I bust out with---and I'm not kidding, yours truly, in her infinite wisdom, asked the following:
and I quote "do you pay for sex?"
WHAT?
IN THE NAME OF VISHNU
MADE ME SAY THAT?
oh hell, I was all caught up in that pretty woman setting...plus I was half drunk. Needless to say, I didn't end up going to Laguna to spend a couple days with him at the Montage, as originally discussed. I felt bad and apologized, but he was over me within a split second.
I spent the rest of my trip in a swanky suite, helping tend to my beautiful angel baby nephew. I did manage to find my way to the topless pool (see photo) and to a couple exhibits and a short Huey Lewis and the News concert...Sorry for the upside down booby, but you know how challenged I am in the editing department. we're lucky we even have this. No lie, though, some person I don't even know took this pic and sent it with her phone, so that I'd have SOMETHING to commemorate the occassion.

onward christian soldiers??

I came across this journalist's blog today. http://onthescene.msnbc.com/baghdad/2006/06/uncontainable_e.html#posts I found the reporting fantastic, but many of the comments disheartening. People are elated that a man has been murdered. Albiet a man who has ordered the same of countless others, and helped hold thousands in terror...I just don't see how the killing of anyone is cause for celebration. All this hatred does, is beget more hatred.
I almost said I'm unsure of the answer, but I am not. The people on this planet have drained their own power by making it their goal to achieve it. Do you get that? By forgetting that we all come from the same source, and that we are really one, we cut off our global nose, to spite our face. We are collectively insane; for centuries doing the same thing, using the same tactics, getting the same results...waiting for other results to emerge.

I miss John Lennon, and I never even got to meet him~

All I am saying, is give peace a chance....

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one...I hope someday you'll join us, and the world
will live as one.
