iJump for iPhone ????? And Ugg... Always A Fashion Dilemma
(A CELL PHONE IS JUST A THING USED TO COMMUNICATE WHEN YOU NEED TO... that's what your grandmother and probably my dad would say).
Solid Readers:
Believe it or not...
my habit of checking my iPhone "lately" has interfered with: studying, exercising, and leaving the house.
(And, after distress earlier this semester, I have decided to put a moratorium on facebook and other sites, whenever I want to!
With facebook, I control it, it doesn't CONTROL ME.
Gosh darnit).
The method for me to get myself to stop looking at the iPhone is to say to myself, "stop" and then just put it aside.
I don't think that 20 or 30 years ago, people envisioned that cell phones would become miniature time suckage machines.
Speaking of cell phones:
My cousin Rafael (mentioned in this blog), who is from Mexico, and I, were discussing a pink camouflage wallpaper choice.
When he mentioned that he feels a typical "Texas" outfit always contains: camouflage, jeans, and Ugg boots (The link contains a surprise celebrity that will knock your socks or Uggs off).
I will let you decide on that one, gentle and shrewd reader.

Should Construction Vehicles Be Painted Pink? And Check Out Kimbra's Rockin Bangs
Hello All:
When I first started writing this blog (2007), I used to say "back with a vengeance" at the beginning of the blog. Now I am thinking, what does "back with a vengeance" really mean????
Does it mean said blogger is writing with a vengeful spirit? Does it mean "I am back, and now I am going to take revenge?"
So now I will just say, I am back. I am here, and not going anywhere!
The other day I was driving.
During a large amount of rush-hour traffic, I noticed a construction vehicle to the right moving with traffic. It was on LBJ (lyndon b. Johnson interstate), and it was majorly distracting. Actually, there were two vehicles at once that were construction-type vehicles. They both happened to have their slow, annoying lights on at the same time. I know that construction vehicles need to warn others of their presence, but....
That day it just seemed more unsafe than safe!
I am not sure if the solution is to paint the construction vehicles pink, so everyone can see them without the flashing lights... however, the only drivers that need flashing lights, on MOST occasions... are ambulance drivers, fire engine drivers, and the police.
Your drive would be much more pleasant.
A "Behind the Scenes With North Dallas Homegirl" featured video may be coming.
( I have not seen any fashion mishaps, except!... High-heel red booties with tight jeans).
The End, Gentle Readers.

I discovered the singer Kimbra today. She has incredibly cool bangs. She has rockin' style. I am even jealous. The video contains 2 songs: Two Weeks and Head Over Heels, which is a cover of (gasp) a Tears for Fears song. She will be playing 2 shows at South by Southwest in Austin, March 14. So, look up the details, and Just Go.

"What Are You Doing? Being a Party Boy?" And "There Were About 50 Cops. It Looked Like They Were Doing Nothing."
"Gentle" Readers!
In honor of Jack White's performance on Saturday Night Live this past Saturday... I am posting this video of, Fell In Love With A Girl by The White Stripes. I am a large, large fan of the group, which is now no more.
Biographical Info, about me, not The White Stripes!:
I first heard this song in 2001, on a Detroit radio station, which is called 89X. The White Stripes hail from Detroit. I loved the song immediately.
Now I am realizing I probably heard the song before it was officially released. No dis to Jack Whites current music... his SNL songs were great... but, I wanted to pay tribute in my own way!I have seen him in concert. My report is that he lives up to the claims of talent.
Overheard recently as I was leaving a class at Richland College about 8 p.m.... the girl on the phone was maybe in her mid to late 20s, with heavily tattooed arms, speaking LOUDLY and kind of annoyingly as she walked to her car: "What are you doing? Being a Party Boy??"
(I kept trying to listen, after this, however she exited too fast for me to continue my research!)
Numerous questions crossed my mind. 1.) Who was the Party Boy? 2.)Why do I not meet Party Boys? and 3.) What party was there on a WEDNESDAY? (The last question perhaps bugged me the most. I am slightly exaggerating, but still).
My dad, who is always ranting and raving about something, and has not really been mentioned on the blog, visited the new Margaret Hunt Hill bridge in Dallas on opening weekend. After returning, he gave his account, which included this documentation:
"There were about 50 Cops there. I don't know what they were doing. It looked like they were doing NOTHING."
Ha.
This is not a dis to any police officers, it is just a comment.
Fashion "No No": Recently I viewed a girl in my class (the class shall remain nameless), wearing polka dot flip flops, neon toenail polish, and what could only be called running shorts.
Although I tried to limit any negative staring, her choice of everything can only be called tragic.
The flip-flops were bad enough, and she should have stopped there. The neon polish made it worse, and the running shorts are in the "I wear anything, including sweatpants if I want to" category. To find out what I think about sweatpants, look into my previous posts.
To sum it up, she was just a: No. No. No.
The End.
Simply,
ndh

what firefighters do in their spare time and the Cowtown Marathon
After running the Cowtown half marathon yesterday, I came to a conclusion before the race: I was running back and forth, trying to get warmed up. The best thing to do before a 1/2 marathon, is run or jog, and PRAY.
Also, I noticed a woman during the run, with a running shirt stating on the back: Hot Mess Hoodlums. I am confused about people trying to incorporate their own hotness into their running goals, or into the name of their "running group."
Also, at one point there was a Tejano Dj Service who was motivating runners along the route. As one runner passed, the Dj, or his friend--I can't remember--shouted to a runner, "Good job, Essay!"
I enjoyed the "YMCA" that he was playing.
I have not posted a video in a while. Here is a special treat. The video is only 40 seconds long. It is some firefighters dancing to a song by Soulja Boy. I have not heard the sound yet, but going by the video, it should be interesting!
THE END,

"I Love Sweater Dresses In The Winter." And, "My Boy's On His Way!"
Hello Graceful Readers:
A cheesy friend said to me somewhat recently, while flipping through a catalog containing sweater dresses, "I love sweater dresses in the winter."
I nodded smilingly and looked at the catalog, but I was secretly thinking, I hate sweater dresses! They are a remnant of the past, in a bad way!
However, I did see a sweater dress the other day, in a catalog, that was completely wearable.
So in honor of the cheesy friend here is a picture of a sweater-y dress, casual, YET something your grandmother would make (it is not the same one I saw and liked):
The man was perhaps in his 30s, in a wheelchair, and with a not-thought-out haircut and a mustache.
Although I got into my car very slowly, that was all I heard. I wondered: why did he need "his boy" and his "girl"? Also, what would his "girl" look like if I saw her?
And, was there going to be a smackdown at the hospital??
Khloe Kardashian and her husband Lamar Odom are living in Dallas (probably not North Dallas!!) and they are filming their reality show here. I do not have much to say about this, except, my friend Gloria recently saw Khloe at a Dallas Mavericks basketball game. Reportedly, she was texting...the whole time!
I cannot think of much to say to the boring, unthrilling Khloe, so I guess here is my statement: "Welcome, texting pro."
Goodbye,
Alice

Please check out this cool book, self-published by a doctor in Dallas.
Check out these very simple gold earrings to mix and match.
One more dress! It is actually a sweater dress.

What's The Difference Between a Pit Bull and a Soccer Mom? Don't Know. Neither Does Sarah Palin. And, Should You Wear Sweatpants To Class?
Hi:
The above title was simply to introduce that I am going to talk about lipstick.
I was putting on lipstick
recently.
(The woman here looks confused.
Just like me!)
I realized for about the one hundredth time that it takes great skill and practice to do it well, and to make it look really good.
As inane as it sounds, I admire women who are really good at this. I think I need to go to a
Lipstick Workshop.
Your "Fashion Police" Comments:
I have seen: a lot of tight jeans with small "bootie" boots, flip flops, and sweatpants that people are trying to make look stylish.
Most of these observations were made at Richland College in Dallas, so obviously I am not being very expansive.
Here is my verdict: Yes on the tight jeans with "boots," although it is not very creative.
No on the flip flops. (There is no point to them right now).
I did view two people in my class yesterday wearing sweatpants.
I used to wear sweatpants during my first time in college, however that was way back when.
So, No on the sweatpants! I do not care if you are a student. Poor baby.
They look unappealing. They are one rung above pajama pants. Which I have also seen. I say, No, No, No! With all of my observant heart.
I really like the new Madonna song.
It is called Give Me All Your Luvin', and includes Nikki Manaj and MIA.
Luv, Peace and Soul.

Here's The Deal: Chrissy and Janet Made Up. And, Get You Some Mon Julien
Gentle Readers:
Here's the Deal: I am going to write the blog in blasts of exciting expertise.
You may read it all in an engaged, focused manner, or skip to the part that you like the most.
Recently I was filling out an application for a local restaurant, which shall remain nameless.
At the top of the application, it stated, "This is a very important document. Please take great care when filling it out."
Duh.
There are many instructions, and questions, on job applications for large and small jobs, which make me say,
"Duh."
Now for the reason you got out of bed.
Chrissy
And Janethave made up. (The web site I have posted, from The Clicker on The Today Show, has a bunch of garbage at the top... just pay attention to the story).
After about 30 years of not speaking, the two "actresses" got together again on Suzanne Somers' "web series." This is directly unrelated to anything happening in your life.
Another item. Don Cornelius, host and producer for many years of Soul Train, committed suicide earlier this week, at age 75. The link is slightly better than other ones I found. It is from ABC News.
Due to the many recent views that the post "A Classic Post" (Sept. 28, 2011) has gotten, I have added a new musical link to the news reel on the right side of the blog ("Stay Informed On The Hot Topic Of The Day"). Mon Julien is composed of two former members of Black Tie Dynasty, one of the groups I blogged about in "A Classic Post." A Classic Post was actually my very first blog.
Also:
It is the Dixie Chicks album I mentioned in my last blog.
I am still heavily listening to 'Truth No. 2.'
Goodbye! and Happy Heart Month. See image, above.

"Suma Luma Looma Luma Luma Luma Seema Luma"
Hi,
I haven't posted due to many things.
I am very tired of Drama Queens. More to the point, drama seems to come and go.
But, it is time for its recrudescence.
An Entirely New topic:
Apparently many people have trouble with the name Alice.
Gentle readers, it does not greatly annoy me... but it does somewhat.
At various times in my life, I have been called:
Allison
Dallas
April
And, just yesterday... Alexis.
Also, I have been called other names, which bear no resemblance to Alice.
Here's a "helpful" hint: Remember famous people named Alice.
Here are three:
Alice in Chains
Alice Cooper
Alice Walker
Next time I will just say that.
Keeping with the old school rap theme, here is Supersonic, by the group JJ Fad. You many think I am addicted to old school rap... which I am not.
However, I did listen to this song over and over, in sixth grade, which is why I am posting it.
Today on You Tube, a user named "goldensloth7" posted the comment: Holy Crap, this is awesome. Apparently he or she has just discovered JJ Fad.
Been listening to: The album Home from the Dixie Chicks. It is from 2002. I especially like the song, "Truth No. 2." I like it because it contains the lyric, "You don't like the sound of the truth, coming from my MOUTH."
And I like the song, "Tortured, Tangled Hearts."
Goodbye,
Alice
