As many of you know, or may not know, I have an unnatural obsession with LOL Cats. They make me smile and cringe with their cuteness and sheer ability to make me laugh and of course, chuckle. This one below is no exception. I may be one of the few losers that still finds them cute and funny but I say to those who judge: "So's your mother" (hand gesture included).
Enjoy kids.

P.S. Shout out to those in BOTSWANA & RUSSIA! Much love from the U.S. of A.

A Wednesday Morn Debacle
So today as I was going about my daily routine, I encountered this person who debated me the pronunciation of a certain word.
Now, let me clear something up: I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but hot-damn I've got somethings going on, one of them being grammar, pronunciation and a heck of a vocabulary.
With that being said, on with my story! So this... neanderthal... is debating the pronunciation of a word with me. Now, I live in the Rio Grande Valley and pronunciation isn't at the top of anyone's list of important anything down here so it's pretty safe to say the majority of the people don't speak English or Spanish correctly. I have a tendency to correct people, friends or foes, when they say something incorrectly not just to spite or embarrass them (at least not all the time) but because it's what I do. My mother does it to me all the time and I know she does it for my own good. I do it out of a reflex & it's gotten me in trouble before.
This whole debacle got me to think how people don't care to speak correctly; and it's something that society, at least around here, seems to be OK with! Down here, no one corrects you when you say
- "Oiga sir, pa donde estan los bathrooms o estan outback por atras; ahi de que por behind?"
The response?
-"Nombre si estan ahi por atras del building. Nomas make sure que le hagas lock a la door porque no cierra asi all the way."
I'm sorry but that? Is not the way to talk. I got me sort of sad no, disappointed, that that it "normal" behavior. I for one refuse to fall into this vicious cycle of not-caring. In my book, you have two presentation cards.
1) Your appearance because no matter how many people say "looks don't matter" & "looks aren't important" know that you get judged based on how you look and I'm not talking fashion but clean, presentable and put together. It reflects how good or bad you take care of yourself and your body,
2) Your ability to successfully or unsuccessfully put together a cohesive thought. Your mind is the most important tool you can use everyday.
If you don't expand and grow your mind and actually care what comes out of your mouth then what are we doing?

Daily Chuckle : Superglue
I'm so trying this soon.
About to watch the Academy Awards live on ABC. Tootles kids!
- J. Saenz
My Pal, Oscar.
I'll be Tweeting LIVE
Oscars Red Carpet - 2011.
Are you following me on Twitter?
@SAENZRANGEL
On The Red Carpet. Trois.
Angelina Jolie in Versace Atelier is the last but not my least favorite look from this season. This major glitz & glam green beaded gown is stunning.
What do you guys think? Who was YOUR favorite look for this Award Season?
- J. Saenz
On The Red Carpet. Deux.
Second, we have Sofia Vergara in Versace.
Sofia se ve hermosa en este vestido rojo de corset que hace que su figura se vea extraordinariamente hermosa.
On The Red Carpet.
Some of my favorite looks from this Awards Season have been prints, bold jewel tones and romantic silky numbers. 5 o'clock can't come fast enough. This Oscars Red Carpet is going to be major. So far, I'm loving Giuliana Rancic's Christian Siriano Pre-Red Carpet gown.
First off, Mila Kunis in Alexander McQueen. I adore this dress. It's sublime. The original dress on the runway didn't have a belt. I personally love it with the belt. What do you think? Mila looks drop dead gorge.

The This-Isn't-Helping-My-Spring-Break-Body Post
 |
| Photo From J.Saenz |
A couple of nights ago, as I was lying with insomnia around my apartment I got a craving for something sweet so I went downstairs and served myself what you see above; chocolate ice cream, Oreos, bananas and blueberries. It got myself to thinking, what the hell has happened?! I'm sitting in my dinning room, alone, eating some sort of sundae! I'm about 14 days away from Spring Break and this? Isn't conducive to good behavior and a thin frame. Last year I was... well... fuller. I was about 25 pounds bigger than my normal weight so I refuse to gain a centimeter anywhere from here to said date.
Last month, I had surgery. It was a routine out-patient procedure. I had my tonsils removed but, what I can say is that thanks to divine intervention and well... a serious infection in my throat, this surgery made me loose 8 pounds (I couldn't eat solids for 9 days).
So... do you think I can keep the weight off? Cross your fingers and pray to your god that I can.
Keep me in your prayers,
-J.Saenz

Social Experiment
For years now I've been wanting to do this social experiment where I see how people react to me based on how I'm dressed. It's happened to me before; I'm in shorts, tennis shoes and my glasses and I want into a certain store (they will remain nameless) and the shun me! Yet, the next day I walk in wearing designer jeans and bathed in Carolina Herrera and these kids can't get to me fast enough to offer me the moon and the stars.
I've always known that people judge you based solely on your appearance yet, I feel compelled to push the limits and see how people react to certain situations and towards certain people. I can't wait to do this.
Just a little thing I'm gonna throw together soon. Keep checking in to see what I do. ;)

PSSHHT!
Ok so when my gramps passed away (may she RIP) she left among her possessions a ghastly, wretched, scary, and "I'll drive you insane" artifact. That artifact, is most commonly know as the Air Wick Freshmatic in this case Ultra. Not only did she leave one, she left two!
This little bugger is one of the most annoying things I have ever encountered and believe me when I tell you I know some pretty loud & annoying people. I'm Mexican.
You would think because I'm Mexican I'd like to have a device around that squirts Harvest Apple and Cinnamon Velvet (from the Winter Luxury Edition) scented freshener in the air every 36 minutes to make my casa not smell like frijoles but in this case? You'd be wrong.
Oh and by the way? Did you know that it can be set to squirt every 9, 18 or 36 minutes? Oh yeah. That's right. That little machine sprays your tuchus like clockwork and may I add, It doesn't care if you're below it or standing in front of it, it will PSSHHT away and suffocate you.
The Air Wick Freshmatic Ultra is probably one of the scariest things I have ever encountered in my home since I saw my last Tom Cruise movie. It never fails to scare the shit out of me (Like it did as I wrote this sentence. Coincidence? I think not.) and make me run away as if Terese Giudice was after me.
In the last 3 minutes I have made up my mind; I will take the Air Wick Freshmatic Ultra out by Boca Chica Beach, shoot it with a rifle and have a quite yet intimate burial. Anyone care to join?
Good afternoon!

High As A Kite
 |
| (Photo from: http://uk.ask.com) |
I've been obsessed with this song for weeks now and I can't wait to sing in on karaoke.
.... YES, I am a huge karaoke fan just in case you didn't know.
The name of the song, like it says in the picture above, is "Higher" by Taio Cruz ft Kylie. Now I'm a recent fan of Taio but a decade long fan of Kylie. I do love the song and I like that these artists decided to work together. I like the collaboration and the meshing of their voices. Taio goes so high in the song that it sounds like one person while they're both singing and I love it.
Click HERE to check out the official video on Taio's VEVO Channel.
Below are stills from the music video. Check it out!

The Fountain of Music
As you see him you can't help but notice (and love) his afro. He's probably the only Dutch to ever pull that style off. The times that I've talked to him, he seems super cool & down to earth. I told him that my mother said that she loved his music and that he should be honored since it's a higher compliment than winning a Grammy and he just laughed it off and told me to tell my mom "hello." Isn't that sweet? Now, for those you you who know my mother, you know how she is. She's a tough cookie yet she's as sweet as sugar so I was surprised she like this type of music.
What I'm getting to is that you should check him out. Now. Click HERE to go to his official website and click HERE to go to his Official Youtube Channel and check out my personal favorite song by him called "Guitarra" ft. Rosenberg Trio.
Shout out to my new readers in The Netherlands, Malaysia, Denmark, the UK & Canada! x/x :)
Veel liefde,

World News
As my sleeping pattern's been a little effed up, I tend to wake up at 7 or 8 AM everyday. This has become a nuisance yet a blessing in its own way. I wake up to national news and good humor. This can never be a bad thing right?
Anyhow, there are a few things I read/saw this morning that really puzzled me. Let me list them below:
BRAZIL: 841 people have died due to the size and intensity of the floods ravaging the country.
JAPAN: Mount Kirishima has erupted and has covered the sky in the south of the country in ash. Air traffic has been suspended.
INDONESIA: Mount Bromo has erupted and grounded all air traffic to and from Bali.
IRAK: 51 people have died due to bombings.
MEXICO: Sueltan a Kalimba!
SAUDI ARABIA: Floods in Jeddah, the country's second largest city, cause power outages and fear. (Floods in 2009 killed over 120 people)
OK so, does anyone else find it a tad bit odd that Australia, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka have been ravished by by insanely large floods at the SAME TIME? Coincidence, really? I'm a little skeptical.
Who do you think is responsible for all of these natural disasters? Check out the poll and vote!
Sincerely,
J. Saenz

Guilty Pleasure.
Those of you who know me, know that I have a sweet tooth and especially when it comes to mixing fresh fruits with something sweet (e.g. dark chocolate, sugar, yogurt.) I love the taste that fresh strawberries have when they're dipped in dark chocolate, the sweetness & smoothness of a whole banana drowned in French vanilla yogurt, or slices of red apple dipped in chamoy. One of my favorite little pleasures is the following; creamy chocolate ice cream with crumbled Oreos sprinkled on top and accompanied with sliced bananas and fresh blueberries.
It's so easy to make & extremely delicious! Highly recommended kids! Hope you like it!

Pajama Jeans
No offense to those of you who own one of these... fabulous items... actually no, OFFENSE INTENDED. If you own a pair of Pajama Jeans you should be reprehended (Same thing applies to Crocs). Why would someone invent this? Jeggings I get but, this? Is the epitome of lazy. In my opinion anyway. Did someone think that this was a good idea? Really?
If you by some reason love this product, go to their website by clicking HERE and purchase a pair for $39.95 plus $7.95 S&H.
Although, I must say. They advertise that they look like expensive "designer jeans."
........... Aha.
In what world do you live in Miss Pajama Jeans Advertiser? Do they not make True Religion where you live? R&R perhaps? Yeah, didn't think so.
Disclaimer: If I see you wearing these, I will say something that's not nice. Be forewarned.
Best,
J. Saenz

FoodBuzz
My latest obsession while I've been sick? FoodBuzz.com. As soon as I can stuff my face with food like I usually do, I'm going to make 54 of these recipes and invite people over to feast and dine. It will be glorious. The first thing I want to make? Gorgonzola and Cherry Pastry Puffs. I love the combination of salty and sweet flavors and this looks like a winner indeed. Check out the recipe HERE and check out the deliciousness in the picture below!

My Heart To You
I've been MIA for about a month now, I've been constantly sick and I still am as I write this (I just had surgery) but I felt the need to write this to you all. My heart goes out to the families & friends of those who lost someone & all those injured in the terrorist attack in at Domodedovo Intl. Airport in the outskirts in Moscow, Russia. I'll say a pray for those 35 souls who died. I wish all my Russian readers the best, love, and light.
Я посылаю вам свою любовь и наилучшие пожелания.

Carpet
I cannot understand Americans' fixation and obsession with carpet. I don't! Do you? It's unsanitary and esthetically speaking? Horrendous. I recently went "apartment shopping" with a relator and it seemed to be that every place had some hideous carpet! Green carpet, beige carpet, burgundy carpet; you have no idea the array of colors these people can come up with.
Do you people know how many bacteria and bugs and dirt carpet holds? I had carpet in my old apartment for about a year and hot-DAMN it got dirty. Now, for those of you who went to my apartment know that the carpet was never clean. You see, that's another reason why I don't like carpet. It's very hard to upkeep!
Oh you Americans.
I mean, I'm an American too but I grew up a la Mexican and my house had marble and wooden floors so I never had to deal with that. I do like a nice rug or two but that's pretty much it. I don't get why you would choose carpet over some gorge dark stained oak floors!
I guess I'll never know. What do you think?

F*** Censorship
See how I censored the title? Get it!?
Ok so the American literary classic Huckleberry Finn is being re-published here in the U.S. without the N word. We all know what that word means and what it entails yet I am compelled to disagree with parents, critics and others across America in censoring the word. We all grew up reading this book. Mark Twain wrote it beautifully and it shows a period in time in out nation's history that is important to know and study and comprehend. We can't pick and choose what we want to know or what has happened in history or what we want out children to learn.
The novel depicted a time in history that we must learn to not forget. There is a reason why everyone has read this book while they were growing up because of it great portrayal of life in that specific era.
I don't agree with the re-publishing of the book without the N-word; even though it comes out 219 times. I am completely opposed with censorship in literary classics.
What do you guys think? Should they continue with the re-publishing or should the not go through with it at all?
Shout out to my Russian readers!
