Welcome to Chaos !!

Tatiana got new furniture today! Maybe nothing to blog about you might think but see Tatiana used to have furniture until it all got stolen.....
A couple of years ago she had put most of her stuff in storage because she was in between places and some assholes decided that they wanted Tatiana's stuff and stole it.
So today she got a couch, a table and a shelf like thing. She still wants a few more items. Like a bookcase. Tatiana used to have really nice things. The worst part is that they took a lot of personal, irreplaceable items, like photo albums, diaries and letters. They left all of her books though - guess reading skills were not too developed in the brains of the thieves.
This event was a horrible time for Tatiana, she was very, very sad for a long time.
She could not understand how somebody could steal like that, it is just so wrong!
She still SO misses her two beautiful paintings (giclees) by the artist OLIVIA. "Starfish" and "Fallen Angel". If you want to make Tatiana really happy you can buy one, or both of the paintings for her!

Tatiana just finished reading Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer. She is now reading another of his books, Under The Banner Of Heaven .
Into The Wild is a gripping story about a young man that gets tired of a lot of things in his life and society in general. He decides to travel, eventually he makes it to Alaska where he lives off the land. It is a very beautiful and sad story, without giving away too much. This book has recently been made into a movie that should be out in theatres now. Tatiana will see the movie as well. It is directed by Sean Penn and it took him ten years to get permission from the young mans family to make this movie.
Tatiana feels strongly for the character depicted in the book. Many times has she felt similar, fed up with the rat race she really doesn't want to participate in. She knows the feeling of longing to be in nature, undisturbed and peaceful. Read this book!
While on the subject of books, Tatiana wants to mention another author, Paulo Coelho. She has read most of his books, they too are excellent and talk about life in a very beautiful and many times, Tatiana thinks, melancholic but joyful way.
What would life be without books?

Julia LOVES Owen Wilson. She thinks he is da nang......so when she found out that he recently tried to kill himself it made her really, really sad.

Owen Wilson lives somewhere is Santa Monica and Julia is on a mission to find him and tell him everything will be OK.

Lots of people suffer from depression and mood disorders that make it hard to live a normal, healthy life. Many people try to feel better by using alchohol or other drugs to try and make themselves feel a little better. Usually this method backfires and the person ends up feeling even worse.

It is a common belief that people who abuse drugs are simply trying to get high, have fun, and are selfish. Julia thinks this is not the case. Most people end up addicted to drugs because they are depressed and sad and do not know how to deal with it. They usually don't know how to deal with it because they never learned that certain feelings are normal and whatnot.

There are many ways to deal with such issues, and Julia would really like to help Owen!! She read that he is taking some Yoga lessons at his house and this is good.

If you know someone who is sad or depressed there are ways of being supportive and helpful without coming off as critical or harsh.

The person who is suffering already feels bad enough that they are not happy.

It is hard sometimes for people who have never felt suicidal or really depressed to understand that blaming the person only makes them feel worse.

Owen, if you happen to read this , please e-mail Julia......

Or if anyone reading this knows where Owen lives, please e-mail any information.....

Recently someone from here in Nevada turned in a videotape to the police. This man lives in Parhump, Nevada which is a small town outside of Vegas that is mostly known for having legal brothels. Anyway, the tape was of a 4 or 5 year old girl being sexually abused by an older man. Julia finds this highly disturbing! The man who turned in the tape was not the same man featured in the tape, but police say he had had the tape in his possesion for weeks and had been showing it to friends. He is now in jail. He said he 'found' the tape somewhere out in the desert......

Police found out that the girl in the tape is actually safe at home with her parents but the man abusing her has yet to be located. His picture is all over the local news and hopefully someone will come forward with his whereabouts ASAP.....
Also, the police are trying to get more national attention addressing the issue and trying to find this horrible man.

Unfortunately, this type of thing is happening quite frequently and has been for years.

Julia thinks it's VERY VERY sad that anyone could be capable of harming a helpless child in a way that will fuck them up for the rest of their lives.

NOT DA NANG.....

So that's some of what's been going on here in Nevada lately. . . .

It is Friday and Tatiana is going to have another weekend at work. More about that topic (work at the strip club) sometime soon.
Tatiana thinks that people should blog about whatever they want and if somebody doesn't want to take their time and read it, that's ok. Tatiana herself prefers to blog mostly about things of substance, things she finds important, that mean something. She wants to try to change this world to a better place for everybody.
So more on microlending and lots of other interesting issues coming up in future blogs.
Meanwhile, she wants to wish everybody a happy weekend!

Julia and Tatiana are going to be writing some blogs together soon, and they should be really funny.

Julia doesn't always think her life is that interesting and would rather not blog about boring things.

It's annoying to read people's blogs who just write to be writing something.

If you don't have something fun or new to say, maybe wait until something happens that you think other people will care about?

Julia thinks that EVERYONE will be happy to hear that she got her nails done and got a pedicure when she was in San Diego !!

Her nails have glitter on them now, and her toes are a nice pinkish-purple color. Very nice.....you need to see Julia's fingers and toes ASAP so stop by Sapphire and take a look.....

Also, there are still many personal belongings of Julia and Tatiana's that are up for sale. The usual dirty shoes, stained panties, etc.

Please e-mail Tatiana your requests or questions since she is checking on the emails a lot more than Julia......Julia is lazy when it comes to that sometimes. She gets tied up with text messaging and getting her hair done and forgets that she should be keeping in touch with people.

If you have a specific request for something PLEASE email about it. Julia and Tatiana are both VERY open-minded and DA NANG so don't be shy about asking for some of Tatiana's used thongs or Julia's stinky shoes.

And DO NOT forget that Christmas is coming up and some of these unique items would make AWESOME gifts for your friends. We have something for everyone!

Hope to hear from you guys soon.....
