Click this link to pop some bubbles!!!

Hey lookie! Shelye is being semi-politcal again! This is getting kinda scary. But this time I'm gonna let someone else do the talking. A few years ago this song was popular but I havent heard it in years. I actually really love the message she is portraying. Listen to the words! For reals, its pretty true. Basically saying how messed up people are. I love this song. :) Read the words and have a listen!

"Stand" by Jewel
Walk in a corner shop
See a shoplifting cop
See the old lady with a gun
See the hero try to run
Nothing's what it seems, I mean
It's not all dirty, but it's not all clean
There's children paying bills
There's monks buying thrills
There's pride for sale in magazines
There's pills for rent to make you clean
Marvin Gaye, there's no brother, brother
Woody Guthrie's land can't feed Mother

[CHORUS]
Mothers weep, children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one to blame
For all the pain that life brings
If you will just take me It might just complete me
And together we can make a stand

A waitress brings me lunch
We meet but do not touch
On TV, D.C. is selling lies
While in the corner, King's dream dies
Go to the counter, pay for me and my friend
A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him
The mayor has no cash
He said he spent it on hookers and hash
[CHORUS]
you will love me, I will love you
Mothers weep, children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one to blame
For all the pain that life brings
If you will just take me It might just complete me
And together we can make a stand

Love/Hate

It is no secret that I am not a politcal person. I rarely stand up for anything. I tend to see multiple sides of every issue and am uncomfortable "picking a side." To this day I have been unable to pick a political party. I am not a democrat, i'm not a republican, I don't vote for a particular party, I vote based on people and their own personal stands. I guess I will call myself a republocrat? I like that. Or Demolican? Conservicrat? Conservrican? Democonservrican? Who knows! I am still in shock that it's almost election time again, and I have no idea who I'll vote for, or even if I'll vote at all. Everyone always says "your vote matters!" But does it really? And even if it does, is that something I want to deal with?? I voted for Bush. And everyone is always dissing him and saying what a horrible president he is. Why should I vote when people end up hating the decision anyway? I can't necessarily say I agree with President Bush's actions these past years. But I SUPPORT THEM! There's a different between supporting someone than agreeing with them. I think we all need to support our troops whether or not we think they should be out there fighting someone else's war. I can't imagine how it must feel for the families that are losing their loved ones then to hear us stupid americans criticize the war. These people are losing their lives and they don't have our support! What the?? I think the important part is sticking together as a country. We elected Bush, so even if you didnt vote for him, since the decision was made, we should all stand by him. I don't care if you dont like him or agree with him, we need to all be united and stand together. Good grief people! I am excited/anxious/nervous to see what the new year and new president will bring. I'm worried what will happen to this country if we do withdraw from the war in Iraq, but I dont necessarily agree with the war.

Next subject...racism. I'm so sick and tired of dealing with racist people. I saw this shirt and I almost want to buy it!!



I guess to an extent I can be kind of racist. But It's a natural defense mechanism for me now. I do not consider myself racist at all, I'm just being honest. I'm tired of seeing african americans and hispanics get all these bonuses such as amazing scholarships to college just because of their heritage. I don't think its fair!!! Because I'm a boring plain ol' white girl, I don't get anything. And quite frankly, I am the minority now! I walk into a Walmart and I'm like one of 3 other white people surrounded by blacks, hispanics, tongans, samoans, etc etc etc. Whites are the minority! I wish I could get an awesome scholarship cuz I glow in the dark. Plus then I think about getting a job. I would make so much more money if I spoke Spanish! I was looking through the classifieds this week and most of the job posts required bilingual applicants. Grr! We are in freaking America, and yet the immigrants get paid more money than me in my line of work because they can speak other languages. Yeah...real fair.

Ok...and now religion! I'm tired of "Utah Mormons." People are so judgemental and critical. It drives me bananas! I have a particular accquaintance that won't have friends if they aren't active LDS church-goers. I know as young LDS girl I was raised to only have LDS friends. I was always told that it was for the best to have only LDS friends so that you wouldnt get tempted to do bad things or be negatively influenced. I have grown up a lot since then and I disagree. I think we should be friends with EVERYONE despite gender, race, skin color, family or social history, and especially religion. GOD LOVES ALL OF HIS CHILDREN!! C'mon people! Do you really think God loves his Methodist children less than his LDS children? No freaking way! God loves me even though I'm not an active church goer. And in our quest to be come more Christ-like, shouldnt we all be friends with everyone? If Christ can love everyone, so can we. How can you reject someone because of religion? That isn't Christ-like at all.

I love the South Park perspective of what mormons believe. I'm sure most people have seen this clip, but its a CLASSIC!


I recently saw a bumber sticker that I feel absolutely in love with! It looks similar to this:




How cool is that? Co-Exist. Such a simple phrase that means so very much. Growing up in Utah, I'll admit that I only had LDS friends, but that is because I didnt know anyone that wasn't LDS. I went to Westminster College for a year, that was founded by the Protestant Church. A few blocks away from Westminster is Judge Catholic Memorial High School, which is a private Catholic school. The majority of those students went to Westminster with me. I was so naive about other religions and beliefs. Its made me really look into my own life and my own beliefs. And the only thing I truely still believe is that God loves everyone, every religion, everywhere. Co-exist!! At work, my department is actually pretty diverse (for Utah standards). I work with a Mormon, an ex-Mormon, a buddhist, and a muslim. And I love these people and we all bring something different to the table, and a unique perspective. I love it. :) And I hope we can all learn to love everyone despite religion, race, color, history, etc.

Just

YAY!

DUDE! It's been a freaking crazy couple of weeks! So many weird random things in my life. Who needs normal, right? First off, I found out that Phil's new girlfriend is pregnant. Due in 6 months. Phil left me about 3 months ago. Hmm...do the math. Crazy. Anyways, Phil didn't even know that I knew about the baby, and he called and left me a very heartfelt apology. And I know he meant it. He was in tears and sooo upset. I believe he was completely sincere in his apology too. That was the first time he has apologized to me since all the drama happened and since he left me. It made me feel better about things that he's finally man enough to apologize for all the hurt he's caused me. So that's good. I had a hard time when I first found out his girlfriend is pregnant because I wanted to be the mother of his children. But I have realized over the last few months that I'm better off without him, or his babies. I am ok. Good news, eh? :)

So work is pretty crazy lately. Busy Busy Busy! I suppose working in the medical field gives me good job security. Speaking of.... I got this clip emailed to me and its pretty much the coolest thing I have EVER EVER SEEN!!!!



ANNNNNDDDDD!!! in other FABULOUS news! Because Harry Potter opening this fall has been moved until next summer, that means the Twilight has been moved 3 weeks earlier!!! Its now opening November 21st, the weekend of my birthday! AND we have that day off work so I can go see it over and over! HOORAY!!!! Here is the latest Twilight Trailer which I'm absolutely ecstatic for!






Dude...and I just found this awesome spoof! Haha...it cracked me up. Only the true twilighters out there will get it though. :D

Ask me anything!

100 Things about Shelye

I guess I've been tagged... Here are 100 random things about me...

72. I really enjoy pottery. I miss it.
73. I get migraines. :( I have one today in fact. I've had migraines since I was 11 years old. When I was in 5th grade, they even thought I had a brain tumor and I had to undergo all sorts of testing. Which isn't a big deal, but is pretty tramatic when you're that young.
74. My favorite video game is Smash Brothers.
75. My favorite Smash Brothers character to be is Kirby.
76. My 2nd favorite video game is tetris. I RULE at tetris.
77. One day when I have my own home, I want to devote an entire room just for meditation. I want it to look like one of those fancy holistic spas. With dim lighting and earthy music or native american flute music or something, with candles and water fountains and insense and stuff. I want a room that I can escape to and just think. Thats a dream i've had for years. It'd be even better if I had my own personal maseuse in there to massage me whenever i needed it. I sure hope I'm rich one day!
77. I LOVE vegas. I know its "sin city" but I effin love it! Its my second favorite place in the world.
78. My first favorite place is Oceanside, CA. I know its random, but I think i was meant to live by the beach.

I totally was a fish in a pst life!
79. I love to people watch. I could spent hours sitting at the mall or Lagoon or even walmart just watching people. People are crazy and it fascinates me!
80. My favorite sound is a cat purring.
81. I have 3 favorite smells. I love the way it smells after it rains. I LOVE the smell of wet cement. As child I used to lick the cement and sniff it. Wierd huh? I also love the smell of saw dust. I guess part of that may be because my dad is a carpenter. and my newest favorite smell (a recently aquired one) is the smell of Jen. She wears this amazing abercrombie perfume that is to die for!
82. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people put the toilet paper on the roll backwars. The paper should fall toward you, not away from you. I usually change it if I see it wrong. LOL am i twisted or what? I dont like it sticking to the wall before I use it. I also HATE IT when people do not replace the roll when they use the last of it.
83. Ever since I was a little girl I wished I was an Indian. (As in India-not native american.) I love Indian culture! I love their clothes, and dancing, and music, and their gorgeous light brown skin.
84. Up until a month ago, my hair length was past my butt. I cut about 6 inches off, so now its just down to just above my butt. And man! Everyone seems to think I should cut my hair! Maybe I should put a poll on here and see what people think. Should I cut off all my hair? My mom wanted me to add the fact that I wear my hair in a bun everyday so that (and i'm quoting my mother) "don't get my hair caught in my crack" LOL
*Update: I added the poll to the upper right hand side of my page. Please vote!
