idea! May 1, 2007

So lately I have been getting a lot of questions and requests for some etch a sketch art. Etch a sketch art is a weird talent of mine. For some reason I just pick it up and can draw pretty much anything on it. I was thinking about maybe having/being a part of a local art show. So I guess this is just me thinking out loud. I hear there is a way to preserve the art after you are finished – I am sure how to do that. I am on a mission to find out though! My love for etch a sketch is not a recent thing. In middle school I always had one in my locker, high school I had one of those mini etch a sketch pens in my purse…as my purse size grew I started carrying a medium size one! I may or may not have a problem, ok! In college (I went for graphic design) my whole portfolio show was based around an etch a sketch theme. Ok ok I am done! I just think it’s funny. In Justines words -”That is so analog” We go to coffee shops sometimes she sits down with her lap top and I sit there with my etch a sketch. Here are a couple examples. They are pretty old, but for some reason I never take pictures of them! I will start

sick :( April 24, 2007

So our week in Cali was very exciting! woo! It was good to meet everyone! Some how on the way back I ended up getting sick, I haven’t had a voice for a couple days now.

On a more exciting note…..

This guy I met yesterday who made a documentary about how we supposedly didn’t go to the moon. I was actually really interesting. THIS is his work…let me know what you think. Interesting conversation for sure.

walk of dimes April 12, 2007

Hey everyone A couple of months ago I got the good news that my sister is pregnant! woo! I am so excited to be an aunt.
Anyway- She is 5 months pregnant and participating in the March of Dimes to raise money towards the research of premature birth.This is the leading cause of newborn death and many life long disabilities. The funds we raise in WalkAmerica support research that saves babies lives. If you are able, it would be awesome if you could help her raise some money! thanks!

Being a Good Neighbor March 21, 2007

Well, if you didn’t know Justine and I share an apartment Pittsburgh PA. We live in a quiet town mostly filled with old polish people. I would say we live pretty quiet lives. We don’t have parties-ever, we never have people over, we are pretty much always on our computers-or not home. Our neighbor is constantly complaining to our landlord that we are tooooo loud. We live in a multi-unit building so our wall is connected to our neighbors. The last time we had a noise complaint it was because we were playing beetles songs on an acoustic guitar, at 9 p.m. (the guitar wasn’t connected to an amp). Today we received a letter from our landlord. It makes me laugh so I wanted to share some of it with you.
“It seems that the noise has again become and issue with the peace and quiet of neighbors living next to you. This past weekend I was approached by ___________ who said the specific noises were again intruding on his sense of privacy. I asked ________ if he had contacted you-he said he had not.”

One might ask….”what noisessss are these???” Well let me tell you!!
•thumping up and down the stairs (this means us just walking up the stairs)
•loud laughing (sorry! didn’t mean to laugh too loud!)
•the use of a radio sometimes late at night (justine sleeps with music playing-i cant even hear it across the hall)

Just another reminder! “Being a good neighbor and acting with consideration to those around you is a requirement for those living in this building.”

He asks that we adjust our lifestyles so that these noises are not so intrusive to others.

COOL!

Dear Justine,
We need to move somewhere that we are allowed to laugh and walk up our stairs at any time of day.

Love,
Desiree

sorry im a bad blogger March 19, 2007

So I want to blog about my friend Steve! woo! I really think everyone should check out his art. He is a good friend of mine, but probably one of the most talented people I’ve ever met. So please check out his art work- it’s really unique, add him as a friend. THIS is his myspace link! I had the privilege to take most of the photos, woo! I really want him to get his work out there. I love his art

I also want to talk about endeavor media. This is a team of AMAZING people that cover all kinds of media. They really focus on music videos. They have a really great style that just grabs your attention. I have had the privilege of being at a couple of their video shoots to take pictures, and I really think they are the next “big thing”. Check out their videos!!! You won’t regret it!

reality March 12, 2007

So today I was just looking on CNN.comand reading about all the breaking news. The fires in California, suicides, parents murdering their children…..so on. My attitude at first was, wow this is crazy…moving on with my day. I then had to ask myself, wow have I become numb to these stories? Hundreds and thousands of people being killed by natural disasters…victims of murder…people in the wrong place at the wrong time. I know I can do nothing about most of the things going on in the world, but it was just one of those days I felt extra thankful for my safety, for our country, for life itself really. Anything can happen at any moment, sometimes I get so busy, so caught up in what’s going on in the world as far as success, popularity, business, friends etc. I don’t take a step back and think WOW that fire near LA just destroyed 500 homes. It’s kinda sad that sometimes it takes us being directly affected by such horrible things to really notice, or even have a second though about helping other people. I am guilty as charged.

Thats all for now. hugs-

haters February 23, 2007

Well it’s 5:30 in the morning and I am wide awake! I tend to be the go-to person for airport rides for some reason, I don’t mind too much. I think this post will be short and sweet. I have to say…there are different ways to deal with haters. I think if anyone puts themselves out there in the public eye you will get both positive and negative feedback, naturally. I have to say how blessed Justine and I are to have all the people supporting us that we do! We do get our occasional haters though. Yesterday we got this email on our mommmypackmylunch myspace site. It was another comedy site that followed us from the yahoo challenge. He proceeded to tell us we are not funny at all and should just give up. So I think he’s right! We should just give up! Why do people take the time out of their day to tell other people such negative things? I have no idea. But I do know….I will never hate you.

hugs,
dezzy

Virb February 20, 2007

Well well well!! I’m sure some of you have been hearing about this VIRB thing going around. I was talking with Justine about this and she mentioned that she thinks it will be HUGE. So naturally I had to check it out. In my mind there were few things that would be able to compete with myspace, not because of the AMAZING DESIGN (yea right) but just the crazy traffic and popularity of it. I do think that Virb is going to be up there with myspace! I checked it out and it just has sooo many features and is really user friendly! I like it a lot better then myspace to be honest. Now comes the hard part! All my friends are on myspace! It’s time to be open minded here friends and try something new!!! I have a few friend invites left and will gladly use them for anyone who asks ( for now its invite only ). Just let me know!!!

hugs!

twitter/snake February 12, 2007

Hey blog world.

So my last entry was pretty random, sorry haha! So while in the geekriot chat tonight someone mentioned that I should get twitter. To be honest, I don’t know how I feel about all this. I see first hand how many text messages Justine gets ALLLL day long. I am not sure that I want to be updated with what everyone is doing all day every day. I am afraid I might find myself with my face plastered to my phone….like someone else i know love you. hahah, but she loves it. Also another thing that would hold be back is I have verizon. I don’t think they even offer an unlimited to any network text/pix plan? I could be totally wrong. If they do, I don’t have it. So what is the benefit of having Twitter? Am I missing out on a lot, because I can’t take Justines word for it….she thrives on being connected to everyone constantly. I love her, but I can’t take her word for these kinds of things. She would love to have a text sent to her phone reminding her to brush her teeth, and blink if that were available! hahahaha kisses! I am open to hearing peoples thoughts on this thats all

dezzy

ps. i love this snake
