I read about a Malaysian teacher who forced his student to smoke 42 cigarettes in two hours, four in his mouth at a time, as punishment for smoking. Another teacher made almost 140 teenage girls squat in a pond at a boarding school as punishment for clogging the toilets. Not sure if that is the best way to handle things, but I guess it is one way to get a kid not to smoke or clog up the toilet! ..LOL..

What’s the most extreme way you were punished growing up?

I read this article on MailOnline.  It made me so sad.  Some things in life just aren’t fair.  Why do things like this happen to such innocent beings?

E.T. find home? RSPCA struggles to find new owner for Britain’s ugliest mutt

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

With the head of a meerkat and the body of a spotted piglet, ET the dog would come last in any beauty contest.

And sadly for him, he fares equally badly in the popularity stakes.

For the last three months he has been ignored by visitors to the kennels which took over his care after his elderly owner was unable to cope with him.

Yet staff say he has a delightful personality and would make someone a perfect pet.

Please take me home: ET the Mexican hairless dog has been stuck at Hillside Kennels in Waltham Abbey, Essex, for months

‘Normally it only takes a few weeks to find a dog a new home but no one wants ET,’ said Dawn Fields, head kennelmaid at the Hillside Boarding and Rescue Centre in Waltham Abbey, Essex.

‘I think it’s purely because of his looks. We put him in the first kennel people see as they come in but they hurry on past him.

‘Then we put him in the last kennel but nothing seems to help. I can’t understand it – he’s so ugly he’s adorable.’

Four-year-old ET, named for his resemblance to the Spielberg movie alien, is one of only 27 Mexican Hairless dogs in the UK. Miss Fields said: ‘I think his owner obviously had a sense of humour with his name, it suits him though.

Mutt ugly? But E.T.’s genetic baldness is a positive advantage for people who hate vacuuming and RSPCA staff say he has a fantastic personality

‘When he stands up and his head pops up he looks just like a meerkat. He’s got a hairy face and a mowhawk down the back of his head and stops at his shoulders.

‘The other dogs don’t take much notice of him, I think he probably looks at them and thinks they are really ugly.

‘He’s absolutely fantastic – he’s got such a nice temperament which is one of the reasons we are so surprised he hasn’t been snapped up yet.

‘He gets on with anybody and everybody, he loves going for walks and playing with a ball.
‘He got on with the previous owner’s grandchildren and other dogs. He’s very easy to look after – he just needs a little bit of suntan lotion in the summer to stop him getting burned and a jumper or a coat in the colder weather but you won’t have to spend hours hoovering up his hairs as he doesn’t moult.’

I woke up dreaming of a strawberry mochi ball.  Could it be my obsession?

It’s just a little something I read in a book.  I would like to share it with you. 🙂

*Enjoy life, because life is phenomenal! It’s a magnificent trip!*

Just wanted to drop a little note of positivity. 😀

I’ve officially retired the name ‘Nat’ …. If you love me, you will call me anything but ‘Nat’ .. PLEASE!!!  … LOL…

Some days it’s just hard to get started.  Why is it taking me so long to turn this machine on?  Not looking like so much fun … *sigh*

Marijuana abuse among teen chimps has been virtually ignored by zoo officials.

LeBron James will be on 60 mins. this Sunday…check this out what happened DURING THE INTERVIEW… he’s insane!

Hands down … the BEST cupcakes I’ve had in my life!!   **Happy Birthday Dad!!**

I was online looking for new diets.  I’ll be honest, I don’t know a lot about cooking, but this doesn’t seem right??

It’s way too early to be up on a Saturday!  Why can’t dogs learn to pee in the toilet??

I found the blood sucking bastard and killed it! Damn mosquito was ruining my life!! 😛 I love you RAID!!

I LOVE vacations!!  This trip was a much needed one.  I originally wanted to go to Mexico, but with the swine flu scare, I decided to head back to Maui.  I finally had the opportunity to surf! I took a private lesson with an amazing company called Swell Women.  Check them out at SwellWomen.com Learning to surf was my favorite part of the trip.  Besides losing my bikini bottom almost every time I stood up on my board, I feel like I was born to surf!!  Here are some photos from my vacation:

This picture is proof that you have to PAY ATTENTION!! . . . you never know where the next message is going to come from.

I asked a tourist to take a photo of me so I could post some vacation shots of my site.  When I got home, all the pictures looked like this!  Sorry about the close up. 😛

I started off my mornings in Maui with a yoga session by the water.

STRETCH!!

It takes a lot of concentration to hold this pose when  you have to pee!

Let’s see, what should I wear in my hair … a bow? … a barrett?  Ah … I know … how about the sunset.

Frolicking in the Fountains of Maui!

PORNOGRAPHIC LUNCH?????

I ordered the Kona Lobster for lunch.  Of course, any decent restaurant serves breadsticks first.  I wasn’t really paying attention.  I was reading a script that was recently sent to me while eating this breadstick.  Then some old lady came up to me and said, “Missy … do you mind taking your porn activities somewhere else!  My grandson is over there staring at you as you grab the shaft of that bread!”  WHAT??? I never heard of bread having a shaft.  Anyway …

I had him in the palm of my hand … do you see him?? lol ….

I am strong!! I am strong!!

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” …a cool quote I just read from Eleanor Roosevelt 😉

Adapt yourself to the life you have been given; and truly love the people with whom destiny has surrounded you.

This morning, I posted a question in my status box. I asked, “What is a deja vu?” I’ve been having them all week and it was driving me crazy. It feels so weird when you get them. Sometimes I think I’ve even dreamed the exact situation before a few months back. I just can’t tell the difference anymore because it happens so much.

I received a lot of interesting answers. Thank you so much for all your responses. I really enjoy hearing all your thoughts and views. One I particularly liked is from a woman named Allie Cheslick. She wrote:

“DEJAVU.. IS OUR SOULS WAY OF REMINDING US THAT WE ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH. I CALL IT A SOUL MARKER, WHEN YOU WROTE YOUR LIFE’S PATH YOU INSERTED SPECIFIC AREAS OF TIME TO EXPERIENCE THE DE~JAVU, THEREFORE GENTLY REMINDING YOUR SOUL, YOUR IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME AND IN THE RIGHT MOMENT.

MANY BLESSINGS FOR BEING ON YOUR PATH!! IT IS VERY ENLIGHTENING WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND ITS MEANING.

Well .. well… what do we have here?? Fried spiders for dinner anyone?? 😛 lol … Now I TOLD you I laid down the 187 on these bastards!! LOL…. Okay, if you’ve been following me on twitter or myspace, you guys know that I am the ultimate insect magnet. They LOVE me!! If there’s a mosquito, spider, anything that bites within a mile radius, it’s looking for me!!!!!! I had a few meetings and things to take care of in Hollywood this week, so I crashed at my empty apartment I recently moved out of. I did it cave-girl style!! By cave-girl, I mean on the floor with my clothes and coat as amattressand a towel tented over any bare skin for the fear that some EVIL unwanted critters would attack me! …hmmm…maybe I’m a little paranoid because of the spider that munched on my arm when I glanced down my shoulder earlier that day….hmmmm…okay….getting kinda nutty over here… follow me on twitter!!

See what the evil spiders did to me!  I must have some tasty blood…yum.

I saw one of my best friend’s ad on the streets of San Francisco.

I got a brand new camera for my birthday.  I was testing it out on my toes. 😛

Still testing … I picked out those red converse. 😛

Is this for real??

Indeed, the dog is real!

I have to admit, I was intimidated at first by this dog’s massive size.  I realized ten seconds into meeting him that he was the sweetest doggie ever!

This dog is WAY TOO COOL!

So many things brought me joy as I was walking around San Francisco.  But hugging this dog was one of my most joyful moments.

Meditating . . . it keeps me at peace.

Just chillin . . . my feet started to ache.

I lost my brush, so I was using my fingers to comb my hair. 😛

Up close and personal . . . does this shot make my nose look big? 😛

After a day of walking the streets of San Francisco, I found this beautiful fountain of water to meditate next to.  It was a great way to end the day!

Thinking about what I should do next …

Aries on Pisces Cusp . . . March 21st – March 25th

The dynamic, forceful, audacious, candid, and often confrontational Aries-from-Pisces person lives a rich inner life where those mystical Pisces interests are nurtured and cultivated … and will show a distinctly spiritual perspective where “going the extra mile” to help another is also one of the rules he lives by.

— Possess the dreaminess, active fantasy, quietude and sensitivity inherent in Pisces
— Possess the uncomplicated and fiery forwardness inherent in Aries —
— Unusually direct in approach to life —
— Outspoken…which can be both admired and misunderstood –
— Refusal to be denied —
— Personal belief that they can do no wrong —
— Generally will not change for other people —
— Both “dreamers” and “doers”–
— Resent being analyzed —
— Short on patience —
— Extremely impetuous —

I feel sad for animals that cannot be free.  Here’s a shot I took with my phone at MGM in Vegas.
