Meet the Family

-
So.. you remember watching my Big Greek Fat Wedding ? Stop lying, you know you have it on VHS. I was thinking about my family today, and how all up in my grill they always are. Loud, expressive, and ever annoying. After all, isn't that the primary objective of every family?

Anyway. I was thinking that although they may get on my nerves sometimes, (especially since I'm the youngest) I really don't know how I would manage without them. It's really nice to come home to warm, cozy environment, a super lazy dog that breathes to be petted, and gather round the table to chat about your life over a cup of coffee.

I feel sad for the people that lead such lonely, hollow lives, or the ones that live in war zone instead of a happy nucleus. I guess the point of my blog post today is- be grateful. For what you have and what its worth.  Especially if that means a loud, proud family.

Single vs Coupled

-
Was I sleeping when dating paralleled happiness? Or became the pursuit of an enriched life? I have nothing against true love, for in many cases its like a cancerous tumor. You can't see it growing inside you til you're in the final stages of metastasis. But what I am against, is people making the rest of us single people seem like were deficient, defective, or socially challenged because we're not coupled. I got news for you. This isn't the 19th century, and I'm not Jane Austen. Just because some of us decide we don't want to get tangled up in the messes of love doesn't mean we aren't capable of bliss. Granted, doing your significant other's laundry, slaving in the kitchen and falling asleep to the lulling acoustics of his snoring and farting may be your idea of heaven, but spare me your ideals. It's bad enough growing up and being responsible for your own self to then rush in to more responsibility and babysitting an adult. I have enough sel

Ninfamous' Gotta Have-Em Apps for Droid

-
So you have a Droid. I already like you. You don't feed the man and you don't settle for the path of least resistance. Put that in your pipe and shmoke it, Apple.  So, to reward your awesome decision, here I am posting the top 10 free apps you will enjoy having, bragging about, and using til your battery dies. Drumroll, please! 10) GeoQpons. Nifty coupon app, simple and easy to browse. By far the cleanest one I've seen, because the others get too confusing or are very limited. I like the local setting and being able to search too. 9) Zedge Ringtones & Wallpapers. Personally I liked the "mom is calling" ringtone, because it was hi-la-rious and so fitting. Free fun and funny stuff, like the transformers ringtone, makes it number 9 on my list.  8) RD3 Demo. So addicting! At your fingertips lies the vast ability to create hundreds of fun little beats and play them back to your hearts content. If you want to record them however, and avoid the time outs it spora

Osama and the Smokescreen

Normally I stay away from politics in my blog, because I don't believe in humans attempt at building a better society or even governing their own lives successfully. One look at world chaos today, on an individual and global level, is enough to cement that idea deep within me. But.. I can't ignore the media field day everyone is having over Osama Bin Laden's "death". So I'd like to present some questions you may want to think about briefly. Why the quotation marks, you ask? Well. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, in the least. I'm completely neutral when it comes down to supporting political factions. However, this story is beyond politics- it's become an emotional apocalypse for many people and a symbol of power conquered. Yet, there are just so many loose ends on this story that it'd be naive to close our eyes to the logic scratching through the smokescreen like a mad cat in a garbage bag. Unlike my usual blogging style , I'm just going
