The Kumkuat Korner

Well it might not be for the reasons you think. Okay, so here is the scoop. My friend from Monday's post forgot to send me the invite. That was okay cause I forgot too, (plus I wasn't really interested in something that wouldn't allow me to play FarmVille). So I was on Facebook harvesting my crops and chatting to another friend of mine of Facebook's new chat (which is retarded and annoying as hell as it constantly stays on all right sidebar that won't go away!). He mentioned another one of my friends and said that he needed to get offline for a second, before going on to his g-mail account and sending her an invite for Google +. Of course I asked him to send me an invite too. And now...... I HAVE A GOOGLE + ACCOUNT! WHOOO HOOOOO! Now when, I first got everything set up, I was a bit disappointed, because it looked like a weird version of a search engine. But then, I found all the amazing things you can do! I will post the videos here, that kinda helped me along m...

A few months ago, I was cruising through the interwebs (internet) and have come across a rumor about Google having the next best "Network." Personally, I thought it would be a bunch of crap considering there have been so many replicas of networking websites like the ULTIME popular ones: Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and other lesser ones like hi5. This today, it came up as a subject while I was visiting a friend of mine. She confirmed it, since she got an invite for an application called Google + (Plus). Apparently, its going to be bigger than Facebook. (What a laugh! I mostly use Facebook to play FarmVille then talk to my friends. Will Google plus have FarmVille? Probably not. Hmmfh.) I asked my good friend to send me an invite. So soon I will judge Google Plus for myself!

A Prisoner from one of Mexico's (Chetumal, located east of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico) correctional facilities was visited by his girlfriend for a conjugal visit. You, know. A wham-bam-thank you ma'am sort of thing. Anyways, police officers were extremely suspicious of the girlfriend, who appeared to look nervous carrying a medium size suitcase, right after the visit. The guards stopped her and questioned her, only to find, her prison boyfriend, Juan Ramirez, in a fetal position inside the suitcase. Of course, now both the girlfriend and the boyfriend are in still in jail, (separately of course), with criminal charges dangling over their heads. How the hell did he manage to squeeze into that small suitcase?

So here is the scoop. For a while now, I have been unable to post anything on my blog. I was überly P.O. about the whole thing. And after several weeks of emailing the webmaster. I finally got the problem fixed! Yay! Thanks Webmaster! Anywho... I owe a lot of my readers millions of apologies and I want to thank you all for the patience. Now, coming up is a post!

Soooooo, a lot of stuff has happened in one week! (Dunn dunn duuuun) My mother has came back from Mexico but had to go to work right away on that same weekend. =[ The day AFTER my birthday, fricken jury duty filed for mistrial and decided to let all the jurors go. Great. Cause I had nothing better to do on MY birthday. But NOW I'm suddenly free. Bummer. Anyways, I celebrated (sort of) by going clubbing with my sexy mother and my smexy aunts at a chic club called  The Mayan . It's pretty big and amazing with absolutely great music all night long. My mother goes clubbing every weekend with my aunts and she finally gets to take me with her... yes, I wanted to stay home, but I let her badger me into a clubbing outfit that was totally cleavage revealing and short with some nice black pumps to show my awesome calves. The whole clubbing experience wasn't new to me. I mean my first clubbing experience was also with my mother and some of my cousins in Mexico. I was 14 with the ...

Well today is my birthday. A day of celebration and great achievement: I'm officially 21!! Yay! Now I get to go to bars and drink (not that I never drank at parties with my friends before cause I did) and go to Las Vegas and not get escorted out by security, because that has happened before. I was 16 and I was accompanying my mother to the slot machines. Thanks to my mother's side of the family, I have been gifted with really big boobs (since like middle school) and the shirt I was wearing has a low top. Not a single security guard stopped me, and I was even bold enough to sit down at a machine next to my mother's seat, almost in front of one of the security guards. Of course it wasn't until my father came, and like a true Jewish mother, scolded me on having my shirt too low. I rolled my eyes, walked to the room, and got put on a baggy t-shirt that covered my great assets. As soon as I stepped foot in the slot machines, I was hounded by two security guards right aw...

Happy Mothers Day! I never forget Mother's Day, because it always manages to land on my birthday or my birthday week. So I'm constantly fighting my mother for attention (not that hard but still I try). For example, last year, my birthday was EXACTLY on MOTHER'S DAY . And to top it off, I was really sick that day. My boyfriend at the time, came to wish me and my mother a happy day, but I was asleep. He arrived at 10AM. I didn't wake up until 4PM. Not that I wanted to. Just that I woke up at 7 in the morning and has a nasty fever and cough and sore throat, and couldn't even hear from either ear, and every time I swallowed, it felt like I was trying to swallow a cactus. So my dad gave me a medicine that totally knocked me out cold for hours. Anyways, I want to thank every mother in this world, big or small, furry or bald, human or animal, doesn't matter who she is or what she is, she is a mother. You deserve this day. Hell, you deserve a year, but that wouldn...

Today I came across 10 insulting words. I am pretty sure I am going to use them from now on... Check them out! 1. FRENCHIFY (v) Definition : 1) To make French in quality or trait 2) To make somewhat effeminate, and 3) To contract a veneral disease (a 19th century slang). Analysis : We have the English to thank for this word. Most people implicitly understand that it means to become more like the French, but not a lot know the second or the third meaning. We’re still not sure which is more insulting. 2. BESCUMBER (v) Definition : To spray with poo. Analysis : Actually bescumber is just one of many words in the English language that basically mean “to spray with poo”. These are: BEDUNG, BERAY, IMMERD, SHARNY, and the good ol’ SHITTEN. In special cases, you can use BEMUTE (specifically means to drop poo on someone from great height), SHARD-BORN (born in dung), and FIMICOLOUS (living and growing on crap). Alternative : If that is too vulgar, you can use BEVOMIT and BEPISS, which meanings...

I have jury duty. Now, most people would be like, "Jury Duty, what a pain in the (insert body part here)!" But, I, however, am pretty excited at being selected to do so.  I should be looking for work rather than sit around with my laptop and free wifi-, or the 15 dollars per day pay (plus the lonely .34 cents for each mile you have to commute, and the free bus passes galore. Yeah, I have it easy. Now with the bus, of course I am bound to meet interesting everyday people (or random weirdos like me) and psychos to boot. This morning, on my way to court, took my usual seat in the very front of the bus. You know, the ones where they have you face the windows and are forced to look at other people. I take the front seat because its the best seat in the house! I can keep an eye on everybody and observe. I was casually minding my own and business,  as i looked outside the window when I overheard chunks of conversation that two African American ladies were having next to me....

Hey Everyone, Yesterday I attended the First Sunday Picnic  From blogger Tempus Fugit. It was a lot of fun! Although not many people came as the month of April, but still it was an awesome day! By the time my father and I got home, we groaned and moaned like ancient Señor citizens. Even now, I'm sore from the heavy duty paddle ball fights, (which of course I'm THE best....sometimes), falling on my butt several thousands of times, twisting my ankle  painfully on the gopher holes on the grass, and catching the baseball, (which I left to the men to do, since I can't throw to even save my life!), and then of course there was the massive amounts of food that needed to be consumed and what not This months theme was Pirates (well not really. It was British themed, but seeing how our gracious host was in a Captain Jack Sparrow mode, it seemed appropriate to add pirates.) The food was delicious, scrumcious yumminess that hit my tummy with a satisfying thump, and the hom...

I have been dying to get my hands on a DVD of the movie MegaMind! Today, my nephew, a 9 year old genius, miraculously downloaded a copy of it on to his PS3 and allowed me to watch it with him. And I LOVED IT!! I think I loved it more than my nephew (of course he's seen it like 5 times already so for him its no biggie). I was laughing through the entire movie and it was a truly wonderful movie of the cliche "Good overcomes Evil." What I would have liked to see though, was what his parents wanted to tell him at the beginning of the movie. "You are destined to be..." to be what? Good (i.e. superhero)? Bad (i.e. supervillan)? Super genius? Normal? That ominous last words from his parents seemed to be the main point of the whole movie. Who we are vs. who we are supposed to be. Does this makes sense, because to me it does. Sort of. Small spoiler: MegaMind does not have any superpower. The only thing he really has is his blue tinted skin, (not to mention his lack of ha...

A buddy of mine were talking about stupid people claiming to be stalked. And that got me thinking back to my experience where I was stalked. No, where I thought I was being stalked. Many years ago, when I was in Middle School (7th grade), I was asked out by a fellow classmate (we will call him Max). I really didn't like him more than a classmate and perhaps it also had to do with the fact that Max was really overweight. However, I didn't want to say no to him since he had mustered all the courage a 7th grader could muster, and asked me out. So I agreed and we went out on a date. (Quite an embaressing one too, since his mom came with us to the date and insisted on meeting my parents. Then to my parents, Max's mom told them about the first date she went out with her husband and blah blah blah....).  I made the mistake of telling my friends everything, from Max's confession to the actual date. To my surprise, the blurted out that my "boyfriend" had turned to stal...

This week, several tornadoes went on a rampage across Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and Virginia.  Officials in Arab, Alabama six people there are dead in their town while the Tuscaloosa Mayor, says at least 15 people were killed there. If we add the death toll from Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and Virginia, nearly more than 209 people have died, and a local news for Alabama says that they are expecting the death toll to rise. They also mention that its the deadliest tornado outbreak in 40 years. According to Times Magazine webpage, there were over 139 reported tornadoes yesterday, clearly making it a record breaking of the month. Times questions the cause. I will post the news article here.

I came across this while sending an application for receptionist. It was a tidbit on a British woman who got into a heated argument with her boyfriend and SOMEHOW along the process decided that she didn't like the way the conversation was going and bit her boy friend. Not once, but twice! And swiped her boyfriend's testicles right off. As in one minute the man has balls, the next, he loses them. Of course the woman denies all the accusations and is currently in jail. Now let me tell you more about this woman. You'd think she was young and foolish right? Say maybe a early 20's type of gal maybe still living with her parents and going to college. But, no. She is a 43 year old woman AND mother of 4 kids. The man of course needed surgery to reattach his lost gems. I'll post the article I found on BBC News, below.

I took the bus to the Optometrist (also know as the eye doctor) and found a very interesting quote and lucky for me I had my camera with me and took a pic, well more than one pic of course. "History as whitewashed as abandoned walls." What the heck could it mean? Of course I was on the bus and the whole time it nagged me. Then I got home and Googled the definition of whitewashed to see if I got it correct. According to the definition that first pops up it means a little more than to paint over something. Whitewashed: To try to clear (someone or their name) by deliberately concealing their mistakes or faults. It all made sense then. History is funny with how events really happened by omitting or exaggerating the facts. So of course this quote is gonna be forever memorable in my book. Also along my trip I found a (nice?) place to grab 1 dollar Chinese food! Although I think they could use a new sign. And further along my hour and a half bus ride (don't judge, it was a nice...

I have this dog named Charlie. He drives me insane but really he's the sweetiest piece of pie (in my world) and well trained (thanks to me of course) and since I'm currently visitin my mother, he feels the need to ignore my the hard training I gave him. Actually it wasnt really that hard, just trick him with food. So yeah, he's actually pretty good. He just forgets his little training but other than that he's actually pretty good. My mother spoils him rotten. Everything I ask Charlie to do, she goes against it and sweet talks to him. Hellooo. What's the point of training him if he is not gonna listen to a word I say.  Of course since she is my mother I can't really tell her off (well I probably could but I'd risk getting smacked by an angry latina).

Now you probably all have acted a little bit rebellious to your parents when you were a teen. Maybe gave them a little sass, or told little "white lie" about going to your friend's house for a sleepover when there really is a wild party. Well this article by Judith Newman goes further into detail about new theories scientist have conjured up for our past ill mannered tempers when we were teens. What I want to know is how did scientists convince 145 kids to participate in a scientific study. Ah, no wait. Must be money. Here it is. Happy reading!

So here is the scoop. I've been dying to write a blog where I can write my thoughts on whatever, interesting things that happened, randoms jokes I heard (I won't make you guys suffer so don't worry!), or if anyone sends a request on a topic, I will write, write, write. Now like all good people (I think I qualify as good), there will be days when I will post pictures or polls, or fun facts if I am dry as a desert (for writing I mean), but I will promise I will write at least a piece everyday (or more)! That way, my fellow followers, you will never be tired of the reading my tidbits. My first order of business. I will post a very interesting read someone send me via email. (Thanks Gene!) More of that on the next post! Peace Out!
