Lap Band and a Boob Job

So, this might not be what a lot of you planned on when you decided to read this blog. This is not a rant. This is just to let people know that my goal for 2008-2010 is to get Lap Band surgery this year, then in mid 2009 to early 2010 get a boob job to bring my tits back up where they belong.

I have struggled with my weight for the majority of my 25 years, and while I don't see surgery as a quick fix or fix all by any means, I do believe that it will be a useful tool in helping me achieve my weight loss goals.

If you don't approve of surgery to fix weight problems or to enhance your body, thereby improving your self esteem and self confidence, then good for you. I personally believe it's my body, my choice.

I'll update later in the process to let everyone know what is going on.

Facebook is getting Annoying!

Anyone who uses Facebook knows that in order to use the applications that are on the site, you have to basically spam all your friends and send them invites to use the applications too. It gets kinda old. The majority of the applications also have links that show above them saying things like "You have 11 New Messages-Click Here", and you believe that they are actually from the program you are using. When you click on these links, however, you are brought up to spammer sites, and even more spammer applications asking you to send a link to all your friends before you can use the program.

I'm to the point I am ready to delete my facebook account. It is annoying the piss out of me that they want me to spam my friends. I would like to check out an application first, see if it's something me and my friends would use, and if it is a good application, then I will choose the friends who may enjoy using it with me and send it to them.

Maybe I'm just getting grumpy in my old age. I wish things could go back to the way they were back in the day. But alas, it's all about marketing and spam nowadays.

I certainly hope blogger stays spam free.

Why I hate the News Media

Working for a local Police Department for over three years in the post 9/11 world, I have grown to hate the news media. I have seen how they report half truths, if they choose to report any part of the truth at all. It is all about sensationalism with them. I've seen them report inaccurate facts about calls we went out on, and swear that they got the information straight from a "police source".

I've seen stories that were promoted for weeks be pulled from broadcast. One such case was a three part interview with a police dispatcher who had left her job and had talked to a main news media source in our town about the problems and injustices with the department. The first of the three segments aired, and then the rest was never shown. The Mayor and Chief of Police had the story squashed. The public was yet again kept in the dark.

Now that I left the police department, I still hate the media. I have seen, with the current election race coverage, just how unfair and biased the news media really is. I've noticed on more than one occasion that FOX News, being the main perpetrator, does not give equal and unbiased to some candidates running, like Ron Paul. They have been called out on this on more than one occasion, but don't seem to ever have a good answer for their actions.

When are we, as a people, going to stop buying into everything we are told on TV, and start holding the news media, both TV and Print, accountable for what they report and how they report it. Have you noticed some of the bills being passed in the House and Senate lately? My guess is no. No one is reporting on it. Why, you ask? Because the government likes it being swept under the rug so they can pass bills and amendments without any public outcries against it.

Many people don't realize how much yellow journalism there is in the world today. Wake up people! Do your research. Demand fair, equal and unbiased media coverage on all fronts. Don't take everything you hear or read for the truth. Take it at face value. No matter what someone writes about, there is bound to be some portion of it that is biased because of the writers' point of view.

I think we would be better off without the secrecy the government and news media seem to have going on, but that is only My Opinion!

Reality TV....

Normally it would just annoy me. The Survivor and Big Brother type shows are the worst. Then came Celebreality TV....

I love celebreality! I don't know why. I am always catching myself watching "America's Next Top Model" or "I love New York!" or "Rock of Love with Bret Michaels", "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila", "The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency" and many others on VH1 and MTV.

It is like a drug, and I am hooked! I love to watch these people make complete asses of themselves. Not necessarily the real Celebrities, like Tyra, Bret, or Tila, but the "contestants" on the shows.

Please don't let Celebreality fall by the way side. Keep Celebreality alive!

What we need next is "America's Next President" with Ron Paul included!

So, This is Lissa's World

This is Lissa's World... Anything that is going on that I feel the need to blog about will most likely be found here. This will be separate from my family blog, which you can still access if you want to check up on the rest of my clan. You can also check up on my fiance, Donnie, on his weblog site.
