I decided to develop an eBook for anyone suffering from persistent acne. Over the years I have had my struggles due to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome which creates a hormone imbalance causing acne. Did you know that 1 in 15 women suffer from PCOS, most unknowingly?
The beauty about SKIN is it is tried and true techniques I have discovered over the years. I understand the problems associated with persistent acne, so my goal is to affordably help anyone else traveling this same difficult path.
Even if you are one of the luck ones who doesn’t suffer from acne, I’m sure you know someone who does, so pass it on!
Thanks!

My mom sent me this in a forward and usually I’m not a fan of forwards, but this is pretty interesting stuff. I know, I’m a dork.
GEOGRAPHICAL FACTS
Alaska
More than half of the coastline of the entire United States is in Alaska.
Amazon
The Amazon Rainforest produces more than 20% the world’s oxygen supply.
The Amazon River pushes so much water into the Atlantic Ocean that, more than one hundred miles at sea off the mouth of the river, one can dip fresh water out of the ocean. The volume of water in the Amazon river is greater than the next eight largest rivers in the world combined and three times the flow of all rivers in the United States.
Antarctica
Antarctica is the only land on our planet that is not owned by any country.
Ninety percent of the world’s ice covers Antarctica. This ice also represents seventy percent of all the fresh water in the world. As strange as it sounds, however, Antarctica is essentially a desert. The average yearly total precipitation is about two inches Although covered with ice (all but 0.4% of it, ice.), Antarctica is the driest place on the planet, with an absolute humidity lower than the Gobi desert.
Brazil
Brazil got its name from the nut, not the other way around.
Canada
Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world combined. Canada is an Indian word meaning ‘ Big Village.’
Chicago
Next to Warsaw, Chicago has the largest Polish population in the world.
Detroit
Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, carries the designation M-1, so named because it was the first paved road anywhere.
Damascus, Syria
Damascus, Syria, was flourishing a couple of thousand years before Rome was founded in 753 BC, making it the oldest continuously inhabited city in existence.
Istanbul, Turkey
Istanbul, Turkey, is the only city in the world located on two continents.
Los Angeles
Los Angeles’s full name is El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula and can be abbreviated to 3.63% of its size: L.A.
New York City
The term ‘The Big Apple’ was coined by touring jazz musicians of the 1930’s who used the slang expression ‘apple’ for any town or city. Therefore, to play New York City is to play the big time – The Big Apple.
There are more Irish in New York City than in Dublin , Ireland; more Italians in New York City than in Rome, Italy; and more Jews in New York City than in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Ohio
There are no natural lakes in the state of Ohio, all are manmade.
Pitcairn Island
The smallest island with country status is Pitcairn in Polynesia, at just 1.75 sq. miles/4,53 sq. km.
Rome
The first city to reach a population of 1 million people was Rome, Italy in 133 B.C. There is a city called Rome on every continent.
Siberia
Siberia contains more than 25% of the world’s forests.
S.M.O.M .
The actual smallest sovereign entity in the world is the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (S.M.O.M). It is located in the city of Rome, Italy, has an area of two tennis courts, and as of 2001 has a population of 80, 20 less people than the Vatican. It is a sovereign entity under international law, just as the Vatican is.
Sahara Desert
In the Sahara Desert, there is a town named Tidikelt, Algeria, which did not receive a drop of rain for ten years. Technically though, the driest place on Earth is in the valleys of the Antarctic near Ross Island. There has been no rainfall there for two million years.
Spain
Spain literally means ‘the land of rabbits.’
St. Paul , Minnesota
St. Paul, Minnesota, was originally called Pig’s Eye after a man named Pierre ‘Pig’s Eye’ Parrant who set up the first business there.
Roads
Chances that a road is unpaved in the U.S.A : 1%, in Canada : 75%
Russia
The deepest hole ever drilled by man is the Kola Superdeep Borehole, in Russia. It reached a depth of 12,261 meters (about 40,226 feet or 7.62 miles). It was drilled for scientific research and gave up some unexpected discoveries, one of which was a huge deposit of hydrogen – so massive that the mud coming from the hole was boiling with it.
United States
The Eisenhower interstate system requires that one-mile in every five must be straight. These straight sections are usable as airstrips in times of war or other emergencies.
Waterfalls
The water of Angel Falls (the World’s highest) in Venezuela drops 3,212 feet (979 meters). They are 15 times higher than Niagara Falls.
Fascinating! Hope you enjoy!

Today’s post is going to take a serious side. My personal bank account was compromised last week. Apparently some jackasses out there have figured out a way to simply and effectively use card numbers. I’m assuming they generate the numbers somehow with a program until numbers work, then continue to charge things until the funds run out. Joke was on them when they hacked mine, I only had $25 in there, but you better believe they used the whole thing! First with a $20 charge to Yahoo.com and then one to a theater in Seattle, WA…across the effing country.
This morning my mom called me, they’ve hit her now. So far there are 20 different charges between $20-80 to websites with curious names. She’s freaking out, and rightfully so. Good news is right when you dispute these charges (and the banks know it’s not you, Wachovia even called me and said there seemed to be suspicious activity on my account), they reimburse you and then take your card off your account. Bad news is you have to wait about 5 business days for a new card. Worse news is this is happening to a lot of people and the new card might not be safe for long.
This applies to ANY card you have. Credit, debit, anything with 16 digits, a date, and a security (haha, right?) number on the back. It’s the card number, not the account. THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE AND IT’S HAPPENING A LOT OF PEOPLE. The banks are obviously on to it, BUT, and there’s that lovely but, they haven’t figured out a way to stop it.
If you Google anything having to do with this, nothing comes up. Hmmm, thanks media for informing us on something pertinent. God forbid they actually do their job for once. I realize the banks are probably trying to keep this hush hush so that all out pandemonium doesn’t break out (you know the average person and their ability to connect any incident to the end of days and/or Obama’s fault), but people do have the right to be informed that their bank account might be hacked.
Be warned people, be warned.
And to the Mother F#*kers doing this. Your spot is reserved in hell, also known as jail, where you’ll get bu-fued, hopefully daily. If you’re female, well I don’t really know how jail rape goes down for you, but it’s coming, too!
P.S. I guess old people using their checks aren’t as dumb as we thought… Oh modern technology; the convenience of plastic. Well everything has it’s price, right? Apparently this price is your security being compromised, AWESOME!!

This is quote of the moment. I say “moment” because I’m quite the lazy one and will never get to this daily or even weekly, always. So accept it for what it is, but enjoy it enough to check back periodically…at your convenience (I hate the word convenience, it’s so hard for me to remeber how to spell it) because it’s going to be entertaining…sometimes.

Is fucking awesome!! It’s, well, stuff, that white people like, with a dot com added to the end. It’s pretty hilarious.
You might start reading it and think “Psh, I’m white and I don’t like that…” but the deeper into the site you get, the more you realize you do like these things and/or you know someone who does! It’s quite eye opening and hilarious.
Also, you don’t have to be white to get it, just have to have white friends.
Bob Marley, Grammar, New Balance, Sushi, Having Black Friends, Vespas… The list goes on. Don’t take my word, fucking go already!!!!!!
Filed under: Opinion | Tags: Become a Fan, Comedy, Facebook, Inspiration, My Booky Wook, Russell Brand
There is always someone who inspires us. This inspiration can spawn at anytime. For me, it happened about a year ago while on Facebook, of all things. Facebook had just added an application where you could “Become a Fan” of things, coffee, sports, television, consumer goods, etc. One of the people you could become a fan of was Russell Brand. I had absolutely no clue who this Russell Brand fellow was, but I clicked on the tiny icon and set off to find out. Well, long story short he was some sort of comedian, I discovered, and he was hot. So I clicked “Become a Fan” not based on some deep appreciation for this person and his art, but simply because I thought he was hot. Eventually much much later, in fact quite recently, did I actually see him in action. I saw some commercials for his upcoming Comedy Central show, then I finally watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall, where Brand co-stars. His character, who is obviously a bit like Brand and the character he’s created for himself, was brilliant; lovable, a bit of a man-whore, down-to-earth kind of guy who even at his worst you still like. I thought he made a good part of that movie, definitely wasn’t the actual Sarah Marshall character, Kristen Bell who is quite drab in her performance. Then a few weeks later my grandfather, father, and I were all in Barnes and Noble and I saw this horridly bright pink book with the handsome man with the crazy hair on it. I looked at it, looked at the price, decided I was interested, but would wait to find it on Amazon.com. Then my generous grandfather comes up and asks me if I wanted anything. I looked at the book, then at him and said “Well I want this one, but I can get it online cheaper” hoping my grandfather would buy it anyway. Then he said, in his wonderful New Jersey accent, “How’a ‘bout I just get youz the book.” So I pondered it for a second trying to seem like it was a real moral battle for me to let my grandfather who has spoiled me my whole life to buy me this book, and then said “Ok, if you really want to. Thanks, grandpa!” I was excited and started to read the book later that night at my mom’s. That’s when I fell in love with a guy named Russell Brand. The more I read, the more I liked Brand and everything that makes him who he is. From the colorful childhood filled with shady babysitters, looking at his father’s porn, and doing whatever necessary to get a laugh or a rise out of people, to the teenage years filled with drug use, sex, and desperately searching for who Russell Brand is, I liked. The way he sees the world, like a dark comedy where the obvious is funny, but the undertones quite serious, is somewhat similar to how I see it. The world is a beautiful place, filled with rainbows and butterflies, sunny days and bumble bees, but it is also a cold, harsh place filled with murder, lies, drugs, and overall destruction of all that is beautiful. Some people turn a blind eye or sulk in the despair, but others, like Brand and myself, see it in a comical ironic sort of way. I haven’t yet finished the book, but I honestly don’t want it to end. If it went on forever I’d die with it in my grasp. That’s saying a lot from me, I’m a picky reader. Basically what I’m getting at here is reading My Booky Wook has inspired me to re-evaluate my life, figure out what I want, and deciding to not let the sometimes bumpy road get to me because even if I get on heroin, sleep with prostitutes, and occasionally get arrested I can still come out on top. Thanks for inspiring me Russell Brand.
