Sony Ericsson Open Tennis Championship Tournament/ April1/ April 2 /3RD

To eat yesterday : Lots of watermelon juice, many oranges, 2 qts smoothie kiwis, celery and banana, a "raw harvest" salad at the Sony Ericsson open, carrot sticks dipped in guacamole. It was really hard because I was hungry and not around fruit.

Today just Oranges and watermelon juice so far. I am so not hungry. I ate too much yesterday

Yesterday I went to the Sony Ericcson Open.
http://www.sonyericssonopen.com/bios/index.html
This is the big BIG tennis tournament that declares who the champion is.

The winner of each sex gets 3.5 million dollars, so it's 7 million all together for men and women's.


It is on Key Biscayne every year. Nice place.

Every single tennis pro in the world is there and even old ones. I walked by guys, who five minutes later were surrounded by fans yelling, in foreign languages. Like this one guy Guillermo Vilas? I couldnt catch names
http://www.tennisfame.com/famer.aspx?pgID=867&hof_id=120

There were little skinny girls in tennis skirts holding gigantic tennis balls, the size of basketballs ( to autograph). Their balls were covered with names.

Where do these people come from, they wore v neck sweaters, polo dresses, tanned, beautiful, fit, strong, and very clean and preppy looking. Alot of them wore those tennis hats and they looked like tennis people. Mostly white . Not the Miami look. I saw many beautiful children there to see their stars.

I saw Venus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_Williams
 she walked behind me, 
when I was on a little grandstand for her fashion show
http://www.elevenbyvenus.com/
 my camera was turned off, I missed it but got the back of her head! :0
and she was surrounded by a throng of people and cameras and microphones.
 

Her fashion show was ok. Look she s looking right at me!

 everything modeled was under 20$

but this one dress below, is a rip off of the last years
$279 dollar juicy Couture dress, I have in my closet
see http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1377/1418170979_007e292bc0.jpg
It is the same exact dress except its cheap version.Why would you rip off something, if you are a designer
you should aim to be original.

But its ok I forgive her!!!!! Its a great sporty style. I mean just cause you make a dress doesnt mean you are plagiariing all dresses made ever cause they all have armholes..






This lady next to her is a retired famous player too. For being so powerful, she was soft spoken
and shy. I hear she has a mansion in Palm Beach.




 
I love it, I love seeing this stuff. I love human gods. Its so exciting to see in person, the best of the best! I mean, world famous best. All of what I saw, all of that money, is for them.

Tennis, I had no idea how beautiful it is, these players are all in shape. They make baby noises. They slip and slide on the floor in their shoes. I can smell them, it is hypnotizing! They trip, sweat and its so physical. You see their muscles through their shirt and thick calves and backs and you realize wow I am looking at a tennis god. Its so exciting! Very good looking people.
No joke.

This guy is the NUMBER ONE in the world for 4 years, and is bff's with Tiger Woods. His name is Roger Federrer,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Federer
and I stared at him play, he made it look so easy, and didn't make baby noises or slip and slide like the other players. He was so fit. I envied him. This, guys, is THE TENNIS GOD for the last four years

 



He is very handsome

I was in the very front and watched him play and it was very nice. He was cool and soft.


So slick!! Everybody loved him! The grandstand was packed with screaming fans.


He was so cute. I just envied him  and was really jealous. He has enormous amount of power in this circle.
He is the highest.


There was fancy shows


One guy slip and slid and wound up doing a cartwheel while falling and missed the ball. What was that? His name was Monfils. People spoke French to him.
Click  MONFILS


I also saw Andy Roddick http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Roddick
play and win too. I have seen him on commercials and in magazines.
He is famous too. Here he is with umbrella guy



Good looking.
Same with the women, all feminine, ponytails, blonde, little matching hats and tanks doing very very athletic stuff no normal guy could do.

I could tell the better players, they play longer games and its more interesting to watch. The not so good players were not that precise.

 My head was like left- right- left- right and when a game is going on noone speaks, you could hear a pin drop and if anyone says anything or a cell phone goes off, people go SHHHH!!!

This is Aunt Jean, a little absent minded like me, I knew nothing about Tennis


Check out the ring on her buddy!!!

APRIL FOOLS DAY
Today I felt so good. I woke up feeling thin, refreshed, and just a feeling of happiness. Strange somber happiness, yet still there, lingering like a soft blanket. The weather was hot last night. I lay on my couch with a fan above me. Flowers on my table and cellphones and remote controls next to me, under me. In my bathroom, I have all sorts of raw food books I page through when in there. I see all these recipes and its always so complicated, but I like looking at the photos. Very few books have new things to say, they mostly repeat what they heard about vitamins and b12, stuff like that, whom nobody really knows personally. I like the book, Fruit, the diet for Man. That is such a good book, I mean, its all common sense, but I like reading it.
I feel good today. I feel good, because of me. I am who I am. I am me. I am who I am. I am an actress inside life.

Yesterday all I had was pears, orange juice and, kiwis, I may have had some celery.

At work today there is this girl who if you are late, will send an email out to everyone saying that who were the only ones here on time and the bosses see this and it is creating tension between all of the workers. She will not be very happy here and it will be without any help from me.

I am going to photograph the next couple of days. Photograph and try to be me. Love me and react to things through the me I wish I were. I want to be someone else. I want to create a new person.

I am wearing a pink skirt and brown high heels and a brown blazer with pink roses all overit. I have on a gold and a blue tanzanite bracelet. My hair is curled, and teased at the crown. I am wearing a push up bra. I usually wear a 32 f but this girl told me if I get a cup size smaller it makes them look bigger, not that I need help, and its a band bigger so Its a 34dd. If I wear it too long I get blood blisters and I have scars from wearing this before. I do. I get cuts on my shoulders too. I will have to be gentle today.

I hope I get to go to Costa Rica next month. I really need it. I have been eating enzymes to get rid of scar tissue. I think I have been getting rid of alot more than scar tissue. Emotional baggage. Are emotions from the stomach? Is that where they originate? Because when I am in a bad mood, when I close my eyes and feel, my stomach always feels hot and uncomnfortable. Is is the cause or the effect?

/


Sure enough I have large blisters where my bra strap is, on my back, sigh, it is so hard to find the right bra
for me

Lunch was an avocado , breakfast was tons of oj and I just had another haas avocado, is it hass or haas?


I always hear people say they want someone real "not a player" and I always thought a player as someone who is fake, but I looked it up in dictionary. The only definition similar to what I was looking for is: 1. somebody taking part in game: Hmm, that means I am a player because everything is a game, to me, that I want to win.

In relationships, I have to win the impossible. I plot and plan. Otherwise why even bother>? Is that wrong? Doesn't everybody do that> Don't guys want to win the affection and trust of women, don't girls want to catch a good man? Don't we want something in exhange for something whether it be sex, love, marriage,  money , power, friendship, relationship, fame, a house, kids, favors, or fantasy rendezvous?

Isn't the hard to get, appealing? Does the valuable have value? Isn't the impossible, dreamy? There, I am a player! I am.

When I ask people about true love, in their life, they alway pick some one that was cheating on them. How can that be true love? SOUNDS like True torture, to me. SO if there are people out there who can do this to you, they have WON something over on you.

What if the sweetest love of my life and the most valuable work in my life, was and is ME? That is so beautiful. Is it possible?

Threat to Homeschooling

Opinion Editorial by John Stossel - Apr 2, 2008
4 ratings from readers
A California appellate court just ruled parents have no constitutional right to homeschool their children, as the purpose of schooling is to train kids in "loyalty to the state."  Does that give you pause?  It should.












The cat is finally out of the bag. A California appellate court, ruling that parents have no constitutional right to homeschool their children, pinned its decision on this ominous quotation from a 47-year-old case, “A primary purpose of the educational system is to train schoolchildren in good citizenship,
 patriotism and loyalty to the state and the nation as a means of protecting the public welfare.”

There you have it; a primary purpose of government schools is to train schoolchildren in “loyalty to the state.” Somehow that protects “the public welfare” more than allowing parents to homeschool their children, even though homeschooled kids routinely outperform government-schooled kids academically.

In 2006, homeschooled students had an average ACT composite score of 22.4. The national average was 21.1.

Justice H. Walter Croskey said, “California courts have held that under provisions in the Education Code, parents do not have a constitutional right to homeschool their children,” Justice Croskey said.

If that is the law in California, then Charles Dickens’s Mr. Bumble is right: “the law is a ass, a idiot.”

The California Constitution says, “A general diffusion of knowledge and intelligence being essential to the preservation of the rights and liberties of the people, the Legislature shall encourage by all suitable means the promotion of intellectual, scientific, moral, and agricultural improvement.”

That doesn’t appear to rule out homeschooling, unless you read it as a grant of absolute power to politicians.

Admittedly, the education code is vague. It requires children to attend public school or a private school (where certified teachers are not required). But they can also be taught by state-credentialed tutors. Homeschooling is not directly addressed.

There’s disagreement over what that means. The court and the teachers’ union claim homeschooling is illegal unless the teaching parent has state credentials.

Homeschooling parents, many of whom have declared their homes private schools, say what they do is legal. Up till now that’s been fine with the California Department of Education. And California reportedly has 166,000 homeschoolers.

Nationwide, the National Center for Education Statistics says that in 2003 (the latest year for which it has a number) almost 1.1 million children were being homeschooled. The numbers keep increasing, so clearly homeschooling parents think their kids get something better at home than they would from public schools.

The Los Angeles Times isn’t sure where the state law stands. “If no such right [to homeschool] exists, as a court ruled, the Legislature should make it an option,” the newspaper’s editorial board said. The editorial wondered why parents who teach one or two children at home need credentials, while private-school teachers in classes full of kids don’t.

The danger in having the legislature clarify the law is that the legislature is controlled by politicians sympathetic to the teachers’ union, which despises homeschooling. “[H]ome-schoolers fear that any attempt to protect home-schooling would end up outlawing it,” writes Orange County Register columnist Steven Greenhut.

It reminds me of what New York Judge Gideon Tucker said in the Nineteenth Century, “No man’s life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session.”

This particular case is muddied by suspicions of child abuse, but as the Times said, the court improperly “used a single example of possible child abuse to throw the book at tens of thousands of home schoolers.”

I think the state court is looking at the state Constitution upside down. The court finds no constitutional right to homeschool one’s children.

But in a free country, people are free to do anything not expressly prohibited by law. If the Constitution is silent about homeschooling, then the right is reserved to the people. That’s how the Framers of the U.S. Constitution said things are supposed to work.

Last week, the appellate court surprised everyone by agreeing to rehear the case. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the judges “hinted at a re-evaluation of its entire Feb. 28 ruling by inviting written arguments from state and local education officials and teachers’ unions.”

On top of that, state Schools Superintendent Jack O’Connell says he thinks homeschooling is legal and favors choice in education.

That’s reasonable news. But why is education the business of government? It’s taken for granted that the state is every child’s ultimate parent, but there’s no justification for that in a free society. Parents may not be perfect — some are pretty bad — but a cold, faceless bureaucracy is no better.

Let’s hope the court gets it right in June.

APRIL 3RD

I AM DOING OK TODAY. A LITTLE DEPRESSED, BUT THAT IS OK. I SAW MY SOUTH BEACH FRIEND, HAD DINNER AT VILLA MAGNA TOWER IN
 http://www.southbeachrealestateblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/villa-magna-miami.jpg

JUST MASHED UP AVOCADO AND TOMATO. I WENT ON THE BALCONY AND I GOT SCARED. I HAVE NEVER BEEN THAT HIGH UP IN A CONDO BEFORE. I SAW OUT OVER THE OCEAN, THE LIGHTS, THE NIGHT. IT'S RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM OUR OLD LAW OFFICES. ANYWAYS I WAS ON THE 40TH FLOOR OF THIS BUILDING. I HEARD THE ROAR OF THE NIGHT AND THE WIND AND SAW ALL OF MIAMI. I WENT INSIDE AND WATCHED SOME TALK SOUP.

I MISSED MOMENT OF TRUTH. TONIGHT IS LOST AND LIPSTICK JUNGLE, I THINK THE SEASON IS OVER THOUGH.

I WAS REALLY SAD, JUST WAITING FOR MY KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR, THE ONE I LOVE WHO HAS EVERYTHING I WANT. I WANT HIM.

IT WAS NICE. MY NAME GOT PUT ON THE LIST DOWNSTAIRS WITH SECURITY IN CASE I EVER WANTED TO VISIT. I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE. I GET SURPRISED WHEN PEOPLE TREAT ME SO NICE. THESE DAYS I AM LEARNING HOW VALUABLE I AM . HOW SPECIAL I AM. HOW BEAUTIFUL I CAN BE, IF I JUST EXPRESS IT.
I MEAN, I NEVER THOUGHT MUCH, EVERYTHING WAS ALWAYS EXTERNAL.
 I ALWAYS LIVED LIFE AS IS, NOT AS IT SHOULD BE.

I HAVE BEEN WRITING IN MY NOVEL. I LOVE IT. I PUT IT IN FIRST PERSON AND IT MAKES IT MORE OF AN ESCAPE FOR ME. I PUT IN CHARACTERS I WANT IN LIFE TO BE HERE FOR ME. I WANT TO BE AN ACTRESS IN LIFE. MY WHOLE LIFE I WANT TO BE SOMETHING ELSE.

I WROTE A MEAN LETTER TO MY FATHER. TOLD HIM I DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE PAST, WHEN HE TRIED TO WRITE ME ABOUT A MUTUAL MEMORY. I SAID HE HAD THE WRONG DAUGHTER AND TO WRITE MY SISTER. I GOT MY PERIOD AND MAYBE THAT IS WHY.

AT WORK, THE GIRL HAD A BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY AND WHEN WE SANG HAPPY BDAY I PLAYED WITH HER HAIR, I WAS TOO SAD TO SING HAPPY BIRTHDAY  OR TO BE HAPPY FOR ANYONE ELSE. sHE SAID THANK YOU TO EVERYONE BUT NOONE GOT THE CAKE BUT OUR BOSS. SHE WAS SAYING THANK YOU, TO NOBODY FOR NOTHING.  I REFUSED CAKE AND TOLD EVERYONE I WAS A RAW VEGAN, ONE OF THE LAWYERS ASKED WHAT IS THAT AND I SAID I DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT AND ONE GIRL SAID I WAS WEIRD, AFFECTIONATELY IN LOW CLASS SLANG..SHE CALLS OTHER GIRLS BITCHES AND HOES TOO. I JUST SMILED MY I AM SOMEWHERE ELSE SMILE. I LISTEN TO MY OTHER COWORKER SAY when it rains it pours.


THERE IS A MAN LOOKING FOR TRUST AND ESTATE LAWYERS WHO ASKED ME IF I KNEW ANY.
I DONT THINK SO, HE MAKES MONEY FOR THEM DOING WEALTH MANAGEMENT. I THINK HE IS A LAWYER AND DOES LEGAL OR FINANCIAL ADVISING. HE IS ON THE 14TH FLOOR.
HE SAID IF I DID TO SEND THEM TO HIM.

THE WEATHER IS REALLY NICE, I HAD FRESH SQUEEZED OJ THIS MORNING. I MIGHT GET AN AVOCADO FOR LUNCH, THEY FILL ME UP.

WHAT I REALLY WANT IS TO FIND MYSELF, TO BE IT OR ACT IT, OR TO BE SOMEONE ELSE. THAT IS A CONTRADICTION, OK, LET ME CHECK MY PREMISES : I WANT TO BE SOMEONE WONDERFUL!!!
