I am OM

Noon. It is noon. (although I will be posting this much later) And my day has been pretty uneventful, but full of current events. I came to work only to sip a iced caramel macchiato and read over the paper all morning. A lot is going on in the news for a Tuesday, actually, and some of it I just think to myself how stupid people can be.

Example 1.

It was reported that a woman lost around $3,000 to an email scam. Well, that’s new. She thought her friend was requesting money because she was stuck in London and had no way to return home unless she acquired that amount of money. After the request for another thousand dollars the article reported that the woman became “suspicious” of the situation and called her friend who was living in San Diego. Pause. Wouldn’t you do this in the first place? Like the last time I checked London still had phone service, and I’m pretty sure if her friend was sending emails she could have answered the phone. One of the details included was that the woman was 60 years of age. So I thought well maybe she isn’t up to date on all the scams and spam emails, but how could you not question being asked that amount of money? I don’t care how old you are, that’s sorta fishy. I’m just sayin, I probably wouldn’t trust just an email. Any way, the friend in San Diego claimed she had never even left the state of California. Well score for the lady who lost $3,000. Now she’s broke and a fool.

Example 2.

BP Oil. First off, I find the whole situation saddening and not enough is being done. Nobody can get things together, nobody can figure things out. What a mess. But today I read an article talking about how they have lost $1B due to stocks. And all I could think was “really, that is it?” That company, in my opinion, should have tanked by now. They won’t let the local fishermen, who know the area, help, they are making mistakes that are costing a fortune, and even worse they are taking too much time bickering over safety regulations rather than finding even a semi permanent fix. I honestly can’t think of any reason to stay invested in BP Oil. I’m pretty sure they aren’t making a huge profit currently, they aren’t making any great technological gains, and they seem to have little to no organization. I can’t see my money doing any good for that company so I’d just take it out. What a waste, be passionate about what you invest in, they have none.

 

Ok that was all pretty negative, and I have to have my little bit of hippie for the day so I wanted to show you guys my henna! Last night my friend Kamryn and I started planning our road trip and then ended up doing henna haha. but she’s a pretty sweet free hander. Both of mine she did free hand:

  

This is the symbol for “om”. ya know, like the sound you make when you meditate? OMMMMM. yeah, that. Om is the whole universe coalesced into a single sound and represents the union of mind, body, and spirit. I thought it was pretty cool. I’m all about the om.  

 

The henna on the right turned out amazing! It’s just a flower but it looks soooo good! (haha take notice of my bracelets). I’m thinking itd be a really cool tattoo too. But I would want the colors to be faded and the flower would be yellow, and the outline red, and the leaf and vine to be an olive green color.  My mom even thinks it’d look good at a tattoo. haha.

 

 

 

 

So that’s pretty much my day guys! Politics and hippie-ing it up! I’m gonna go to the premiere of Eclipse tonight, not really a fan of the whole Twilight madness but I’ll let ya know what I think!
