i'll probably grow up to be like my mother

so it's pretty proven that we all become more and more like our parents as we get older. this last weekend my mom was down to visit and i will say its epic. now my mom and i like most mothers and daughters are so strong willed and could really fight with eachother all the time about anything and everything. but before she came i made the choice just to really let whatever disagreement came up go. i figured it's 4 days and then she goes home. it was pretty successfull. we had a great time. had a lot of laughs. we talked about a lot of the hard things that have happpend in our family in the last year. it was just really good.

so my mom truly brings new meaning to the word blinging. she's got her furcoat, fur and leather scarf (ok this is probably offending a few right now) haha....she's blinging with the rings and jewels and earrings and lipstick to the max. it's ALL out there. here she is this little 5 foot nothing fiesty red head really ready to take anyone down if she needs to. anyways she's cute. i mean for the first few days i looked at her and kind of made fun of her....mom what the hell are you wearing? etc etc etc... then i'm thinking well she's givin 'er. she's alberta money...looks a lot different than bc money.

i would confidently say that alberta is the texas of canada....we love those albertans but have no clue what to do with them. haha. anyways for years my grandma watched this daytime soap show called the young and the restless. my grandma Katie would always call my mom Mrs. Chancellor. because i forgot to take any pics of my mom when she was down here in all her dolled up glory i've include a visual of this Mrs. Chancellor. Put red hair on that woman and it's my mom.

So if you're looking for me in 40 years but you see something like this....you know what happend

the ban on Brown

so i'm driving home from work yesterday listening to the trust radio and i hear this announcement. Kevin whoever his name is says his boss and the head of communications or something are going to come on the radio and comment on the Chris Brown situation....geeez. ok so here's what i'm thinking about at this point? what freaking Chris Brown situation. Yes it's true. i'm lame and listen to the radio in my car....two reason...i don't have a cd player...i know i'm ancient and my ipod is broken and thus my transmitter has nothing to hook up to anymore. anyways....so the reason this whole Chris Brown "situation" perks my attention because a few days back i saw a little flash on tv about how he grew up in an abusive household. so yes....sad. but a lot of people do i'm thinking so to really publicize this i'm not sure why. I don't pay any more attention and just go along. then i'm in the car listening to the radio and this man with a lovely monochromatic voice comes on saying that they'll no longer be playing Chris Brown music on the radio until this situation is resolved. WHAT? now hear me this isn't about me being a Chris Brown fan or not. it's about a few things here. there's speculation that he abused his gf (famous Rhianna). the reason i'm saying speculation is because not too many of the stories i've heard or read match up at this point.

this is what i'm getting to...they're not playing his music because he beat up his girlfriend. wow. so now by not playing his music...all of the songs he's collaborated with another artist aren't playing as well. i think people should 100% be punished for their actions. but i also think there are so many things we turn a blind eye to because they're not the young and the famous.... there are tons of these things happening everywhere and they're going unnoticed. Chris Brown is loosing money from this... the last guy i knew who hit his gf went to work every day and pulled in great cash.

so is this a lesson to speak out? does it say it only matters who's speaking when it comes to speaking out? i don't know. I don't listen to Chris Brown anyways. I do however think the radio should be consistant with who they're "punishing" for what. what if we said....hey everyone driving a big ass truck or SUV we wont play your music until you stop because you're destroying the earth. or you don't recycle so we wont play your music....or you're amy winehouse....enough said.

and in conclusion i would really appreciate more lindsay lohan drama. way more interesting than this.
