I don't understand!

I saw this on my Yahoo! webpage and I just had to see how badly Megan Fox had put her foot in her mouth to cause her to get dropped from the Transformers 3 sequel.

I don't understand these actors: Shia LeBouf and Megan Fox. They keep trashing the past films (or film* for Megan Fox). Why would you trash-talk about the produces, directors, screenplay etc. who worked on the past films you were in, the ones that gave you JOBS and CELEBRITY status? Do they really think that people will take them as something more than an actor, perhaps a movie critic? I think they just have a bad, no horrible, case of word vomit. It just seeps out and they can't seem to control it.

I understand and agree that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. BUT when someone starts criticizing jobs done when they personally have NO experience or knowledge in that part of the industry, it makes them look like jerks who are being arrogantly modest.

Do they think that criticizing these people will get them more acting parts? I think that is a seriously faulty plan. Why would they want to hire someone who, although delivers, will attack the film and give it bad press later on?

Of course it all comes down to one thing: pride.

* Jennifer's Body isn't worthy to be even called a film. More like a piece of crap. IMHO.

A sad day at Cal State Fullerton

Around 11am this morning a woman committed suicide by jumping off the sixth story of one of our parking structures. It's so sad and my prayers go out to her family and everyone who was affected. People actually saw her fall and that must be traumatizing.

Lord help the lost.

The full story is here.

;D

There is one fine fellow in my business writing class. And he's a personal trainer....there ain't no doubt about that! ;D

Swidget 1.0

I think I might be growing up...just a little.

My mom called me today and left a voicemail saying she has a favor to ask of me. I called her back and she asked if I could cover her Sunday school class. I was scared and overwhelmed at once.

I tried to switch to teach the younger kids but she told me Kathy was teaching them and couldn't teach the older ones because she has never done it before. Neither have I!

I was pretty abrupt with my mom and we hung up on a sour note. As I got to my Econ class I couldn't stop thinking about our conversation and felt bad about how it ended.

You see, normally I would ignore these feelings and go on my way.

When I sat down in class I sent her a text. I apologized for my behavior and explained why I didn't want to do it: I haven't taught in a long time and don't feel ready for it, I've never taught these older kids before, I don't have adequate time to prepare since I have an interview on Friday and I have to study for my final exams this weekend.

She replied thanking me for my apology, saying she understood and that we're fine.I hope this is a sign that I'm finally becoming aware of myself and how I respond to people.

What I didn't tell my mom was that the BIG reason I don't/won't do it is because I don't feel I'm spiritually adequate to be in a position of teaching the bible. My spiritual life has been dormant for quite some time and that is my fault. I never got connected to a church near school nor did I read the bible on my own. I'm JUST starting to get back into the swing of going to church regularly and studying the bible. I'm so far from where I was in my teen years.

At school I was constantly struggling: 1/2 of me wanted to stay a strong Christian and the other 1/2 wanted me to give up completely and just blend in to the college scene. I felt I could only relate to people if I acted the same way, used the same language and did the same things.

That got me nowhere. It just made me feel mad, frustrated and guilty. I neglected the bible study on campus because I felt so out of place. These girls were showing spiritual growth and they WANTED to be there, to reach out and witness to people on campus. I was terrified and like a coward I made up excuses not to go with them when they shared on campus. The main difference I saw in them as opposed to myself was that they liked taking leaps of faith. That is one thing I have always lacked: faith. I constantly worry and have yet to put my complete faith and trust in Christ and I'm ashamed.

Although I will be attending summer school near my house and hopefully have a job, I want to focus on reconnecting with Christ and starting from the foundation of my faith, upward.

The self-confidence I lack, I have yet to replace with Christ.

The beginning of Baldy

I think a perfect topic for my inital post would be to explain my blog title and/or username. As you can obviously see from my photo, I'm NOT bald. You might ask yourself "Why does she call herself baldy?!?!". It's actually a pretty funny story.

I tend to get wordy when writing out a story so I'll just give you the jist of it.
My older sister, Diana, has luscious, long, THICK hair. I, on the other hand, have the total opposite. One day were talking and I think joked how her was like a lion's mane and that it grew through out the day. She returned the jab, ending by calling me baldy and it stuck. It's only a nickname she uses and I call her Dbear.

Welcome!

I'm not new to blogging, or blogger for that matter. I created this blog in hopes to expand my "audience" and find new blogs to read. It also doesn't hurt that I can customize every which way and it's free!

I want to welcome you to my blog. It's not a subject-specific blog but rather my daily (okay, sometimes weekly) life as I pursue a higher education, learn life lessons, spend time with my family and hopefully continue to see spiritual growth.

So, see you later readers :3
