Have you ever asked yourself the following question: Are you more mentally strong or physically strong?Tonight when I was watching Kid Nation on CBS they awarded the $20,000 gold star to an eight year old that they described as not necessarily physically strong because of her age but mentally strong because of the way she managed the town store and interacted with the other kids - oh, and it was her ninth birthday too!
Anyway, it got me thinking, sometimes we can be more mentally stronger than physically stronger and the really good people in this world can keep a great balance of both at all times... the few, the proud, the fortunate!
When Sagat was in town he met up with a guy who was physically strong but was mentally week and insecure - that is the most unattractive trait ever in a guy for me and Sagat seemed a bit annoyed by it too. I haven't dated any guys who were insecure about themselves to the point that it was obvious. Of course we all have our weaknesses but I believe it takes a strong person to acknowledge those and then move on, don't lament on them and obsess - there's no point!
I again cried this week at the outstanding job all the kids did. And it amazed me for another week the power of a hug! When was the last time you gave someone a hug and meant it? Hugs are pretty powerful, in fact there are some people that have tried to give hugs to as many people as possible. Infectious and heartwarming, hugs are quite possibly the best gift on earth if done right.
Speaking of infectious and heartwarming, yesterday Annie Lennox came out with her new CD called "Songs of Mass Destruction." One of my favorite songs by the diva is "WHY." I recall her singing this song during the summer time for Live 8 in London, check it out, it certainly gets its message across loud and clear. Oh, her new album is amazing too!
Good night and stay tuned...

THE SF CREW
(Photo courtesy of Party with Brandon)
Although this picture is missing the team soccer mom, Brandon Baker, this is the team that stayed in two rooms at Hotel Britton in San Francisco this past weekend!
The picture above was taken on our way to breakfast Saturday morning. I suggested this restaurant that I go to everytime I am in the city and love. Don't ask me the name, everytime I go to the restaurant I forget the name. I can tell you it's on Taylor Street next to The Mark Twain Hotel and that it's decorated in pictures of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and James Dean. The place is very quaint and you can see the food being cooked right as you walk in the door! 
Brandon bought our tables champagne from the store next door and he even shared it with the tables around us! That is how Brandon is by nature - this morning when he walked into work he had bought me Robeks's juice and a shot of wheat grass!
After breakfast we walked around the city, saw the Love Parade, and bought clothes.
I was so happy because I also caught up with Collin O'Neal and hung out with him for a while. 
Okay more later on hanging out at the Titan Parties and seeing other porn stars and good friends!
Stay tuned...

TEXT MESSAGING SUCKS
I am beginning to loathe text messaging!!
As it is (even though I text message everyday) I believe that for the most part people text message for all the wrong reasons.
Sure, a good segment of the population text’s one another to say “I’m Running Late,” “I Love You,” or “What is the address, I’m in a meeting,” but I think a bigger segment of the population text messages people because they want to avoid that conversation/argument they’ve been dreading so the “obvious” solution is text arguing or the person wants to say something to another person that they couldn’t verbally say so they thought they’d write it.
This weekend I ran into a similar predicament except for the fact was if I could have called the guy I would have done so instead of relying on text communication.
So you see, sometimes new technology isn’t so welcomed, although I don't think I will stop texting anytime soon! =)
