New Year.

I know that New Years happens every year, but it still feels like a fresh start.

My resolutions are to:

1.Just be me, but better.
2.Never let anything go unfinished for more than a week.
3. To celebrate everyone else's success, no matter how big or small. Especially when I think they aren't deserving. Which can be hard sometimes.

Also, today is my dad's birthday. Happy birthday, pop-pop! I love you!

I hope everyone had a great New Years. It's 1.1.11. Let's get started.

Family Guy.

The animation has gotten too good right?
They are using plates now?! What?!
Look at the old opening credits compared to now.
HMM. I miss old Family Guy. Is Archer back yet?


Better yet:

The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle...oh and friends.

It's December?! What?!

How did it become December?
I'm happy to say that this means everyone is just a little more joyful this month.
Everyone a little nicer, every house a little brighter, and the idea of giving a little more peaceful.

It's only the beginning of the season, but some people have nothing year round, so this is just a month in which they hope for an extra blanket or jacket. There are such simple ways to help.

In other news, Einstein said some of my favorite quotes ever. So here is one for today.

“Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”

-Albert Einstein


With that being said. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I got to spend some time with my big hilarious family- and nothing recharges my soul, heart, and drive like quality time with my family.

So,

I Googled my name because I wanted to make sure my blog came up, and interestingly enough, the fourth suggestion on the list was "Ayla Kell fat". Now I personally find that HILARIOUS. Anyone who can sit and point a finger at someone else who is wearing spandex on TV and dare to say anything about them- should themselves try wearing a leo 5 days a week. God forbid you be bloated or not look like a 12 year old boy. This society has made it so anyone and everyone can say anything they want about anyone without any repercussions. And I personally am sick of it.

Where did respect and responsibility go?
Better question, where did having a conscious and logical thinking go?

My show dresses me to be bigger because, if you have never seen a gymnast, they do have muscles. Not all of them are stick thin, mainly because of the huge power moves that they do. And this isn't just about the show.

Is it okay to say anything about anyone because it's online?
To hide behind the name "anonymous"?
I can laugh about it, but I know it hurts that someone who knows nothing about me would dare to say that.

I'm not anorexic, but I'm absolutely not fat. I'm healthy. And if you have a problem with it, please post a picture of yourself in spandex with your commentary next time.

It's time for people to own up, and realize that what you say makes society what it is. I do my absolute best not to talk badly about anyone. Especially someone I've never even spoken to.

As some of you may, or may not know. I'm a huge fan of Radiohead.

Thom Yorke and I even share a birthday. Not that that makes me more of a fan, just makes me kinda a nerd for even reading his biography. Which the Wikipedia page & the Radiohead blog (Dead Air Space) are more engrossing than what should be a riveting book. But today being a gloomy week in LA, which always makes everyone think about life, pay a little more attention to the music they are listening to, and maybe even see colors a little brighter since the gray gives such a great background to every color... I'm starting a rant here.

The point of this was, hmm.
Oh right, it was mainly for me to say that I adore them.
I'm listening to OK Computer on vinyl, right after finishing the Eraser (not Radiohead, but Thom Yorke), and truly. They are geniuses.

Somehow it always seems to be the soundtrack to my life. It has a funny way of being the every-moment band. Maybe its the poetic lyrics, the haunting sound of his voice, the layers of progressions, the steady beat, or maybe that's exactly what music is supposed to be.

"Music - The one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend."-Ludwig van Beethoven


Oof, I think I had another point entirely.
But that's enough for today.
Time to flip the record.

No good sandwich is neat.
Deliciousness.

Catching up on Fringe tonight.
DON'T TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS!

I saw Social Network: Good movie. The crew scene was fantastic. The way it was shot gave me chills. Amazing screenplay, Aaron Sorkin. Jesse Eisenberg was quite fantastic. He did a wonderful job of having a brain so focused on one thing, its blinded by reason. As a person guilty of that on more than one occasion, feeling almost separated from a real social world and able to escape into the world of information known as the internet, I very much connected to how he played the part of Mark Zuckerberg, creator of Facebook. Fincher did a great job, though the breath in the cold was a little over computer generated for my taste. But he always is a perfectionist. But all in all- I loved it. Plus great music through the whole movie.

Pictures from New Orleans SOON.
Promise. Work is just exceedingly busy right now.
