If I ever got around to actually driving, and somehow came up with a bigillion dollars, I would want this car. Gold and diamond Benz?! Heck, it could be CZs and fake gold and I'd still like it. I don't know why I like the bling so much, but I do. It's so over the top and ridiculous, but I love the sparkles...ain't even gonna front!

I Kinda Want to Try This

I'm curios to try "Mug Cake".
Seems easy...but will it taste good?

Nails Once "Did"

I saw the above picture with the caption: 'M.I.S.S is Looking for Interns!!', and thought "Omg, dream job! The people at MISS want someone to do nails for photoshoots?! " But alas, this wasn't the case. It was just a picture catering to the overall vibe of Mama Clothing; and they actually want an intern to do real work. Boo.

It did get me thinking though...and I think it's time I go back to my old ways, at least for a little bit?

Some Reading From the Morning Commute

I forgot my book this morning, and my plan B is always the iPhone. So I started perusing, and came upon www.iranpresswatch.org. I browsed through the various articles and started reading a son's simple words about his father who was recently abducted by Iranian government officials for his involvement in Baha'i' activities. I don't know if it is because I am a Baha'i', a Baha'i' of Iranian descent whose own family members were persecuted for their beliefs, or just a naturally empathetic individual, but I really felt for this man and started getting a little teary on MUNI.

I can't even imagine what it must feel like to not know where your father is, how he is doing, and what has happened to him. And worst of all knowing that he has been taken away from you for no just reason.

These stories of the Baha'i's in Iran are always a wake-up call for me, and remind me how fortunate I am to be able to practice my beliefs freely. It's easy to forget some have it "rough" (to say the least), when you're living easy.

Small World

Time to revive the blog! I figure what better way to do it then with one of my favorites, Aziz Ansari. (I wonder if/hope he'll find this when he Googles himself...) I got the chance to meet him a couple weeks ago when I went to his show, and while recently browsing his blog I saw that he got to meet one of his own favorites, Mr. Kanye West. I sent a link of the picture to my mom, and her response was "how weird that you have met both of them." Which got me thinking, that is weird. People run into celebrities all the time, but it just kind of struck me how small the world is and how connected we all are somehow. That someone like me, with no real connection to fame and stardom, has happened to be in the same place at the same time as these people. I don't know, maybe it is just my mother and I who think it is a strange coincidence!

A Better Way to Deliver Bad News

I think these are quite clever.
