Time and time again we join in and celebrate this holiday season -  may it be with dradles or santa hats. Basically, all I want to know is what "the holiday season" really means to YOU! " I enjoy the holidays because I feel that no matter what is going on in someone's life, this is the perfect time to just let the magic sweep in through the chilly winds and shine on us through all of the glittering lights. Personally, I feel that the holidays mean another chance to live life and enjoy it for the last bit of innocence it holds through the placement of a Christmas tree." - Quothia Cant wait to hear what you guys think!

"You can make a difference..." What a slogan, huh? Surely everyone has heard that once before in their lives, and at this point, it's probably lost it's meaning to most of us. Though, what is the true definition of "making your difference," of "impacting the world?" Let's think back to someone who has made an impact on your life through a comment or action... Name them - we want to know! Gosh, in today's day to day life, i'm sure you're with me when I say we need all the inspiration we can get! Here's the catch, i'm not posting this in order to motivate you for 5 seconds. I'm posting this with the intention that each person who reads this will believe it and become determined! SACRAMENTO

DEAR CALIFORNIA: BREAKING NEWS - PROP 8 HAS PASSED!!   On November 4th I spent another full day protesting on the corners of Greenback and Sunrise. Screaming, honking, neon signs, carpol tunnel, and all that good stuff. Though as the polls closed at 8pm, I had to find something else to do with my evening. I heard an announcement on the radio about a Prop 8 party being held at the Hyatt Hotel on L street. Obviously - I was inclined to visit it. The event had a very classy set up, with exotic cheeses and camera crews. The people who attended were overwhelmingly enthusiatic, while watching one of the four giant TVs they had set up in the corners of the room which read the suspenseful poll

On November 3, 2008 I found myself on Greenback and Sunrise joining a crowd of people advertising their beliefs... There were tons of wild people, thousands of signs with different hilarious and descriminating slogans (from both parties), cars decked out in their signs, and cops rolling their eyes. Sure - I bet a lot of them didn't even know what prop 8 was, they just wanted something to do, but regardless, it was quite the experience.   Check it out! As the night rolled in, so did the people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-qKvS12-HY Know what you're supporting - one way or another :) www.protectmarriage.com   - (YES on 8) www.noonprop8.com  - (NO on 8)  

Every day we’re stuck asking ourselves – how much is too much? While I was out with a friend the other day who was downing energy drinks, that question came to mind and made me think - does caffeine really do more than just give you a brief rush of energy?... Let’s start at the beginning. Apparently regular caffeine consumption reduces a person’s over all sensitivity to caffeine. When you reduce the amount of caffeine you intake, your body gets withdrawals, as it would with any drug, favorite dessert ext.
