    RIP Michael Jackson

    michael-jackson

    I was deeply saddened when my father came home from work today and told me that Michael Jackson had died. I couldn't believe it. I've been a supporter of his for a long time now. Despite everything that has gone on in his life, he was a brilliant performer whom I loved dearly. His talent was undeniable, and no matter what happens, he will always be the King of Pop. He had a difficult personal life, but I know that he should, and will be, remembered for his legacy in the entertainment industry. May he rest in peace.

  • Some people amaze me, but not in a good way.

    This Father's Day my family and I went to a special brunch at the local country club. My family isn't a member of the club, but anyone can eat in the restaurants they have there. The brunch was a buffet, and I was helping myself to some food. There was no one in line in front or in back of me. All of a sudden, these two, middle-aged men jumped ahead of me in line. I thought to myself that that was pretty rude, but didn't think it was a big deal. Once I finished helping myself of the first food, I had to wait for the men to finish before I could continue moving down the line. I was standing there just politely waiting when one of the men turned around and gave me this horrible glare that read, "What do you want, woman?" He turned around, finished filling his plate, and left, while I stood there insulted. Who does this guy think he is to cut me in line and then act like I was the rude one? I just couldn't believe it.

    I know I'm overreacting a bit, but am I wrong here? This man was completely rude and disrespectful. Have you ever been in a situation where you're treated like the bad guy but you're actually the victim?

  • I'm working to find a cure for cancer!

    But I need your help. If you remember, I am posted an entry about me participating in this year's Relay For Life. It's an overnight walk-a-thon that raises money for cancer research. In order to participate on June 27th I need to raise at least $40 more. I know that the economy is tough so many don't have the funds to help me help cancer, so I came up with an idea. I now have two ways that you can donate!

    The first way is directly through my Relay for Life profile: http://main.acsevents.org/goto/christinateoli

    The second is through my online store. From now until June 27th I will make sure that 100% of the profits from my online store will go towards my Relay donations. That way, you spend a little money, get a great handmade item, AND donate towards cancer research! You can do that here: http://craftsbychristina.bigcartel.com/

    Thanks so much everyone!

  • Are you going fishing?

    I recently saw a post that had disabled comments. The author wrote in the last line of the post something like this: "I disabled comments because I'm not fishing for them." Huh? I've never thought of it like that before. I mean, most people automatically post entries without even thinking about disabling comments. There are, of course, many people who do like to go fishing for comments, but I would never get rid of the comment option all together just to make sure it didn't look like I was fishing. What I mean is, does this user think the rest of are always fishing for comments? Sure, I love to get comments. Who doesn't? But I wouldn't say I fish for the exactly. I like to hear the opinions of others more than getting a large number of comments. I even felt a little insulted by this post. Does it look like I'm going fishing when I comment on other peoples entries? Am I simply going fishing by enabling comments on entries?

    What do you think? Are we going fishing for comments all the time? Is it bad to do so?
