Hello World! Sorry, I tend to get caught up in what I am doing. So, here is my recap. Last week Lesley asked me to be a reader at her wedding. Not only did I say I yes, I was truly honored. Les is a great friend of mine and when she chose her bridesmaids I was living in Austin. I wasn’t sure at that time if I would even stay in Texas much longer so she didn’t ask me to be one. I didn’t mind at all. Actually, I was happy because I was over the “Bridal Wave”. But, when she called me and asked about the readings, I was so excited. The wedding date finally arrived and it dominated my whole weekend. It was so fun! Lesley looked beautiful and in love. The reception was amazingly creative. It was at the Dallas Museum of Art. I love the exhibits there.

Have you ever heard of the game “Gay Chicken”? I had never heard of it until Saturday night. Here’s how it works. With no warning, one of the guys would reach over and hold or rub the other guys hand until he jerked away. Don’t get me wrong I have no issues with gay guys or chicks. I just think it’s funny.

Really it’s already Tuesday? My weekend flew by and my Monday is a foggy memory. We had our usual Monday meeting which to me is interesting and enjoyable. I like to be all together as an office eating lunch and coming up with new ideas. There are days when I am exhausted but once we get started I wake up and hope that something unintentionally brilliant will surface.

I know when you are not involved in something it can be boring so I will try not to beat you down, but let me say this… This exotic dance class is so fantastic!! Our instructor is Clarissa and the class is called The Art of Exotic Dancing. It is by far the best workout I have ever had. I ran track and cheered from the time I was 7 and this beats them all. I feel like every muscle in my body is getting used. I also believe it shapes a woman better than lifting heavy weights. I lived with a trainer and body builder for nearly 4 years. He would put me through hell in his work-out routine but this class takes the cake. Yum I love cake. The great thing about it is how much more confident you can become. You don’t have to be a great dancer (or actually be a dancer) to take this class. It truly is for everyone. I used to take yoga with my mom and we had everything from veterans to first-timers and this is very similar. So to conclude this tangent that I said I wouldn’t do, if you want to feel better about yourself or your body then take this class or one like it. I would rather you take it from artofexoticdancing.com since they’ve been nice enough to teach Kellie, Shanon and I for free.

Tomorrow is my challenge with JC and I am both confident and nervous. In fact, I am about to start brushing up on my music skills so I have to wrap this up. I have an acting class tonight. I missed last week because of the Fall Out Boy interview (not complaining) and that is why I am so excited about going. I have never taken acting before but now that I am able to afford it (sort of) I am loving every minute.

Vegas Baby! Swingers is a great movie by the way. Next week I will be in Las Vegas with Jennifer and M’Lynn (you may remember her as “Rachel” on the show; I tried to hook her up with her “Ross” from high school. By the way “Ross and Rachel” are not dating exclusively just keeping in touch and becoming closer friends. So Jen, M’Lynn, and myself will be on our first ever girls vacation to LV. If you know of a good show to see or bar to check out please let me know. I am going to do a video diary of our 4 days together. I think it will be fun to chronicle the whole trip online and it will provide us with a great memory on DVD. Ohhh we should have a watching party! LOL that is lame but funny.

Thank you to everyone who has been commenting with advice and personal stories. I enjoy reading them. It gives me comfort to know that others have been where I am. I have a question for anyone reading this. Would you prefer to read my blog or watch a VLOG (video log)? I’m a youtube fanatic and I’ve been thinking about switching over to video instead of text. At the very least, it would stop my assault on the English language. J I talk a little better than I write; believe me.

Love,

Tay

Taylor!
I am so jealous you are going to vegas. My hubby and I went last month and it was so fun! I cannot wait to go back. One of the shows we did was Anthony Cools. He is a hypnotist and it is SOOOO funny. It is very R rated, but hilarioius! He is at the Paris hotel. If you wait until the day of something, there are a bunch of vendors on the strip that sell tickets half price so look for that! The Palms always has a bunch of celebrities hanging out. Have a great time!

Make sure you check out TRYST at The Wynn. My favorite club/bar and I have been to most of them in Vegas!!! So nice and new and not as crowded PURE. Good music, too!

My favorite show is LOVE at The Mirage. I am not even a big Beatles fan, but it was amazing! All Cirque shows are, but this one takes the cake :)
Tao at The Venetian is fun, too! And JET.

If you want a good pre-drink, check out MIX at The Hotel (new wing at Mandalay Bay) It has the best view of the strip!

Have you seen the Real World Reunion on MTV? They are staying at the Palms and they got to stay in the Playboy penthouse! It was SWEET! Not sure what it takes to rent out the playboy penthouse though! HA!

Don't change to a VBLOG! I love what you're doing now! But add pics and utube videos! I would LOVE to see them! Especially the fun stuff that you get to do in Vegas!

Have a great time!

Blogs are great, but updating with all VLogs might be kind of boring. You should do a little bit of both and mix it up every now and then. :-)

I read in a previous post that you said it hurts when you read negative comments that people leave about you being a horrible person. I think that making judgments about other people on the internet is probably one of the lowest and most cowardly things an individual can do. You shouldn’t waste your time worrying about the lousy comments some anonymous person has the “guts” to post over the internet. I think it’s comical that people can think they know you from listening to you on a radio show, reading a blog, etc. when they really have no idea who you are as a person. It’s also humorous how quickly people are to judge others' "flaws" when they really should be looking at themselves in the mirror. The people you surround yourself with in your life are the important ones with opinions and feelings that you should value. The people that waste their time sitting at the computer all day and passing judgment on others that they don’t know and are obviously jealous of definitely aren’t worth your time. If you are who you want to be, then more power to you!

And being single definitely isn’t the end of the world girl! A lot of new experiences and freedom come with the territory, and it’s a great time to enjoy YOU!

Keep up the good work on the show and keep being yourself because that is a person that so many of us can enjoy.

Wait J, you JUST said that we don't know her since we only listen to her on the radio... So how do you enjoy her being herself on the radio?

Confused a little?

And why are you wasting YOUR time on here "judging" the people who leave her mean comments, calling them cowardly and jealous? You must have some "guts" to do that, huh?

Anonymous,

I enjoy listening to Taylor and the rest of KKITM on the radio. The person that she is on the radio is someone that I and many others enjoy listening to. People can't actually claim that they "know her" and dislike her as a person from listening to her on the radio.

I'm not confused at all. Are you?

It is very cowardly to leave derogatory comments about people and bad mouth them on websites. The people that do it are the ones that don't have the guts to do it in person. It takes a lot of class to leave someone a comment on the internet telling them how much you dislike them. Beef isn't made for the internet, and I would tell anyone that in person. I didn't claim that I disliked anyone on the internet, I said it was cowardly to leave comments saying such things.

Hopefully, you can catch on to all of that.

Hopefully you can understand what you write and how you're such a hypocrite. Don't defend Taylor from people who are saying rude things, by saying rude things.

How about you just understand that people don't like Taylor on the radio? If you are saying that Taylor is any different off the air than on the air, it doesn't matter. She is sleazy always, as we know, from what we hear on the air about what she did off the air. Go ahead and defend that.

Hopefully YOU can catch on.

Classy Anonymous, classy.

It takes a really courageous person to call people such negative things on the internet. As I said before, you must have real "guts" to remain anonymous and hide behind your computer screen talking badly about other individuals that you don't actually "know." I don't know Taylor as a person and neither do you, so to make judgments about someone based on what you hear on the radio is ignorant. I'm not being a hypocrite. I'm not calling you degrading names. I'm not saying you are a horrible person because I don't know you. I'm saying it is cowardly to talk poorly about people on the internet. I didn't say you were a coward, but your actions are cowardly. If you don't like Taylor, then you can choose not to listen. Or if you do want to listen to the show, then you can act like an adult. I NEVER called anyone names on here. I said peoples' actions were cowardly and low and that they reflect jealousy. I haven't talked bad about people and their characteristics like you and so many others.

Can you catch on to that? Or do YOU want to judge me some more calling me a hypocrite?

I hope you're not THAT ignorant and think that my name is actually Anonymous on here? It's a selection that I chose and even if you did know my name, you still wouldn't know me.

Therefor, you should know that I never posted anything bad about Taylor in this whole thread, and that it was other "anonymous" people. Sad that I had to break that down for you.

I was simply calling you a hypocrite because you DID call people names. It doesn't matter if you didn't call them Fart head or something... you called them cowardly and "jealous", which doesn't make sense. You think people don't have guts because it's online? Taylor is posting online... people comment. That's how it works. Just because you're obsessed over Taylor, doesn't mean that everybody else needs to be.

Not everybody worships the ground that Taylor walks on as much as she does.

However, this is from your previous post:

Guess you did post something bad about Taylor?

I DID say their actions are cowardly and jealous, I DIDN'T call them cowards.

I'm not obsessed over Taylor, nor do I think people should worship the ground she walks on. However, I do think it would be appropriate for everyone to abide by the rule we learned in Kindergarten. Do onto others as you would have them do onto you.

It is cowardly and jealous to call someone a sleaze on the internet, or any other degrading thing about a person or their characteristics or personality, especially when you do not actually "know" the person.

Sad that I had to break that down for you.

Some people need to grow up.

Bottom line: You should feel good about yourself for the way you talk about people you think you know on the internet. It's sad that it makes you feel better about yourself by talking badly about others. I find it comical how you can "hate" someone that you don't even personally know. I also find it funny how you can't comprehend the difference between cowardly actions and being a complete coward. Many people do cowardly things at points, but are not cowards. Does that make sense to you? Probably not. It's also really funny how people that "hate" Taylor so much spend their "valuable" time on the internet talking bad about her. Can't find anything better to do with your time? And I have thought about it. Hate usually equals jealousy, and in this case, I'm sure that it does. Get over your superiority over everybody else, and how you think you have the right to pass judgment about others that you DON'T know.

Ugh just stop responding.

"valuable" time is spent at work doing nothing.

You can like Taylor all you want, and I can hate Taylor. The fact is that we DO know her based on what we hear on the radio. It's not candid... she's not somebody completely different... if it makes you feel ANY better, I hate the radio Taylor. Happy?

And no, again, hate does not equal jealousy... so please get over that. I'm not jealous about her ability to catch STDs at remarkable rates.

Just stop making outrageous accusations and stop posting unmerited derogatory comments. What is the benefit of trying your hardest to make another individual feel bad by saying horrible things about them? Honestly, that is just down-right pathetic. I just honestly hope that you are a better person than you are proving to be on the internet and on this blog. I hope you don't lower yourself by saying these kinds of things to individuals in real life. And once again, if you only say these things on the internet, then that is very cowardly. But it is even worse if you say these things to people in person, because that would make you destitute of any feelings or consideration for others. I am way past the point of arguing with you; I just really wish you would show some tact, consideration, and compassion for others.

The internet is no different than real life. I would say anything that I said before to her because it's what I believe. I'm not lying here when I say that I actually don't like her... BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

Why is it hard for you to believe that some people just don't like Taylor? You have to be kidding me.

Please defend Taylor sunbathing topless while men pay to see her.
Go ahead. Please tell me how that does not portray a disgusting lifestyle.

You need to learn that some tact. Just because you "believe something" doesn't mean you just go around saying whatever you want. That's exactly what is wrong with the world today. I hope maybe you are young and that is something you will grow out of.

YOU guys are sad for fighting back and forth on Taylor's comment page=/...

Tayor I love listening to you on the show every morning!Stop being sad and let the neg things roll right off your back. When you smile it only makes the people who hate you even more pissed off...so keep on smiling!

Honestly, I think it's pretty sad when people who don't even know Taylor are bashing her on things they don't even know are true. Why should you even care in the first place?! She isn't doing ANYTHING to you. It's time we all just start leaving our negative comments to ourselves instead of posting them for the world and Taylor to see. I may not know her, but what I do know is that if all you enjoy doing is writing comments to hurt other people, then you need a new hobby, or need to meet this guy named Jesus.
