Many bloggers spend countless hours upon hours trying to figure out the best way to get more eyeballs on the words they write. After all, what's the use of writing a blog unless a lot of other people are reading it?
So, give the Greek blonde girl, (yours truly) some credit for possibly coming up with a brilliant new way of developing current topics for my blog. Yep, I decided to go Rupert Murdoch on a bunch of famous people and start hacking their cell phones!
I'm not sure what I would write for each post, but here are some of the cell phones I hacked and some of the conversations I overheard during my hacking:
Mark Zuckerberg- Called Bank of America and complained. He thought there was possible fraud on his checking account. Mark said he is missing about $5 Billion dollars from his account in the last few days.
Danica Patrica - Called Yoko Ono and said, "I am more popular than the Beatles!"
Barack Obama - Called Allied Van Lines and asked for a quote for a move from Washington D.C. to Chicago. When the moving company asked if he had a date in mind for the move, Mr. Obama said, "Shortly after November."
New York Mayor Bloomberg - Called 7-11 and said they need to change the name of their signature hotdogs. he said he won't allow them to be called "Big Bites."
Phillip Phillips - Called Rolling Stone magazine and asked if they wanted an interview with him? They asked him, "Who are you?" Phillip told them that he was the most recent winner of American Idol. The reporter at Rolling Stone told him that they quit writing about the winners on American Idol after their story on Kris Allen in 2009. Phillip said, "Kris Allen? Who's that?" The reporter said, "Exactly!"
Mr. Bricks - Called the McDonald's headquarters and complained that the McRib wasn't on the menu anymore. They apologized to him for the inconvience and told him that some fat man, with googly eyes, in Hollywood, ate them all. Mr. Bricks said, "Well technically, I have only one eye that googles."
Bethenny Frankel- Called the Governor of Wyoming and told him that she had just bought the entire state of Wyoming. And when the Governor asked Bethenny why Wyoming, she said, "She was bored, wanted to spend some money and besides, it wasn't as expensive as Rhode Island."
Kim Kardashian - Called Kanye West and asked if he thought that her cell phone made her butt look fat? Kanye responded, "Yes, but that's Ok, because I like a 4g Butt."
OK, maybe I really didn't hack into anyone's cell phone... but hey at least I was able to create another blog post, and probably made ya laugh! Score one for the Greek girl.
I will be the first to admit that I think Danica Patrick kicks some major butt, definitely a cool chick in the Greek Girl's book. However what is not cool about Danica Patrick? The fact that is that she has totally taken over my manager Mr. Bricks brain. Which is kind of funny because, A. I never thought he had a brain and B. I never thought anything could mean more to him than the McRib sandwich, but it's true. Bricks has what I like to call "DOTNS" or "Danica on the Noggin Syndrome." This disease is very new and rare.
What is my problem with this you may be wondering? Well, aside from the fact that it is hard enough to get the rolly polly dude to stay out of McDonald's long enough to focus on getting me a record deal - now he is all dreamy-eyed (and trust me - that is just weird - with his one lazy eye thing he has going on) about a stock car driver. It's like all he does all day long is mutter to himself, Danica, Danica, Danica....zoom, zoom, zoom. I kinda feel sad for him. I think his noggin finally left the building!
With Danica becoming so popular in NASCAR these days, I'm sure there are many wives and girlfriends out there who may be wondering... "hmmmm - is he?" Well, let me give you a few symptoms to watch out for - just in case you're concerned your man, manager of BFF might be possibly coming down with "DOTNS".
1. His favorite colors are all of a sudden Bright Green/Black 2. His favorite number used to be 13, it is now # 10 3. He traded in his prized Corvette for a Chevy Impala 4. He used to think NASCAR was just for hicks & hillbillys, now he Tivo's it 5. He is all of a sudden very concerned about "Peak Brand Antifreeze", "COPD" and "Nationwide Insurance" 6. He has Danica wallpaper as his desktop screen saver and a Danica mousepad 7. He renamed his two goldfish Danica and Patrick 8. He has pulled out his old Nintendo 64 and is playing "Pole Position" 9. His office has Danica posters covering up Gold records 10. He just purchased his 15th domain name from godaddy.com, just to get to see Danica's robostamped signature on the receipt
If you have noticed any or all of the above things happening to your man, I'm afraid to say that he most likely has come down with a case of "DOTNS" for which there is no known cure. I guess it could be worse. He could be infatuated with talk show host Larry King.
We live in a world that is called, "A man's world". Well, I have to ask, who actually believes that? Seriously, just look at the way this world works. Really. Take a look. You have the one thing in the world that I hate more than anything the - s-p-i-d-e-r - that actually kills it's mate, the mate being the "male" after they eh-hem (censored).
Only in the "human" realm are women more colorful in presentation than anywhere else in nature. The way I see it, we women rule the roost. See, we've got the men pegged. What a better deal exists than this? We send them out to work, for us, protect us, drive us, open our doors and most die before us. (not that I wish that on anyone, but hey, it's true).
So I wanted to take a few minutes and point out some really amazing and cool girls that simply put, "kick butt"!. (in no particular order of course).
Rosa Parks - A woman who changed a nation.
Everyone knows what it takes to stand against the opposition especially when your life is on the line. Rosa Parks is not only a hero but she is an icon for all women for all time. She truly is one true Kick-Butt kinda gal. I see her as someone who is not afraid to take no for an answer and stare down the evil of racism.
Danica Patrick, Nascar's lone female driver.
As I said, we "live in a man's world." Well, Danica Patrick is not one to take that to the bank. She is not only someone men dream about but she is one heck of a driver to boot. She has fought tooth and nail to compete in a sport entirely dominated by men. Sure she had to bust chops to get there, but it was worth it as she is a true trailblazer.
Angelina Jolie - one of Hollywood's most powerful and sexy women.
Now I must digress, I have been told that Angelina must be one of the lost Aston girls as there are 5 of us and we do have some similar qualities (so I have been told, remember... the Greek Girl is a natural brunette after all). But that's not why she's on this list. Simply put she rocks. She hits it out of the park with every film she makes. She really knows what it means to be a true iconic figure for modern pop-culture. Let's just say, if I could, I would love to play the roles she plays. She truly kicks-butt and takes no prisoners and is a humanitarian too, definitely my kind of gal.
Gabby Giffords - a true patriot who loves her country.
Gabby Giffords, a Congresswoman who reached one of the highest elected offices in the country was gunned down at a townhall meeting. Now, she fights to come back and serve her country once again. Truly inspiring and the definition of the word "will". It takes a woman of courage and true conviction to do what she did.
Martha Stewart - an entrepreneurial power to be reckoned with.
What can be said about the Queen of pristine. Ms. Stewart is just another one of our kick butt girls. Why? Why not? For someone to go through what she did starting out as a model and working her way up to being a global entrepreneur who's brand is as iconic as anything under the sun. Not to mention she made going to prison fashionable and came out stronger than when she went in. Martha my hat is off to you for being a kick butt girl.
Bethany Hamilton - she can take a licking and keep on ticking
Okay, now some of you know how much I love the ocean and relaxing at the beach. This girl, she takes it to a whole new level. Not only does she kick butt at surfing but she does it with one arm! Don't forget, it was taken from her in a horrific accident while attacked by a shark. Hello?!? That to me is down right crazy! For her to have the courage to get back in the water and fight to regain her status as a world renowned surfer is Kick butt! Not only that but she is a positive role model too. How cool.
Amelia Earhardt - The pioneer of iconic Girls who Kick Butt.
What else can be said about this amazing girl? Most people, let alone girls don't just wake up one morning and say, "Hey let's fly around the world" and do it, but Amelia did just that. Not only was it completely unheard of to attempt by most any pilot at the time, but by a woman no less? Now that took some serious guts. She paved the way for all of us girls to kick butt. She is a role model and an amazing example of what it means to live your life to the fullest while chasing your dream.
The American female soldier
But of all those women who have aspired to do great things, there are no girls who kick butt more than the American Female Soldier. With over 350,000 women who serve in the US Military, there is truly nothing more amazing that a woman can do. These girls are true hero's who put their lives on the line every day. They don;t do it for glory, they do it for the honor of serving, so you and I can live in freedom and peace here back home. Now, that is what I call a girl who kicks some serious butt!
Then you got me... The Greek Blonde Girl. I can't say I am on the same list as these women, (yet at least). It is my desire to get such a place in history and yes even kick butt, make that kick some serious butt. Now, yeah I do kick butt in my own way here and there and no I am not one to back down to a good challenge that's for sure. But, like all these iconic women, none of them were able to do it all alone. They all had to have a team of supporters and a lot more nay-sayers who said they couldn't do it. That's like me. That's how I feel I relate to them. I look to girls like them who have faced lifes toughest challenges and the rough road that hasn't even been carved out for them. They achieved their dreams. They went for the gold and they won.
So often in life we can get caught up in the minutia of what we "think" really matters and don't realize they are in fact distractions. So that is why we have to stay focused. That is why we have to sometimes wear our heart on our sleeve and put our pride on the shelves. Like me. A lot of people I meet or talk to think just by the looks of what is going on, I am sitting here counting all my millions of downloads and CD sales. I wish I were, but I am not. It takes a lot to admit you need help and support from your family, friends and fans. Without them, everything in life I am aiming for would be irrelevant. It is my goal to be a positive role model through my music and be a girl who kick's butt. Otherwise you'll be left to wallow in the likes of the Kardashian's, the Katy Perry's and GaGa's of the world who all think it is super cool to prance around in your bra and undies... Not on my watch ;D I sing with my clothes on, and I think that is super cool - just sayin.
So, if you want to help me kick some serious butt and achieve my dream, give me a kick @ kickstarter.com (you can watch the video to learn more).
I think I want to marry the weatherman. I am back in New York and as we approach a holiday weekend it appears that the weather will be just perfect for some alone time with my sneakers.
Now that's what I am talking about. Not too hot, not too cold, just perfect for some beautiful running throughout America's greatest city and to check out some of the newest fashions!
If I want to head to Prada's flagship store I need to point my sneakers to 575 Broadway (at Prince) in SoHo. I won't be able to miss it because not every retail store has a Rem Koolhaas' designed 23,000 square foot $40 million dollar building! Nice.
When I am done in SoHo I can take a quick jog up near Central Park to 841 Madison Avenue and check out that Prada store. Yah, that's what I think I will do even if I have to cheat a little and hail a cab.
But all running and no shopping is not fun, so I will make sure to stop when I am in Midtown Manhattan and check out the Prada stores located at 45 East 57th Street, 724 5th Ave and the one located at 611 5th Avenue. I hear they have some really nice boots...Not that I wanna make my sneakers jealous, but a Greek Girl needs her boots too - just sayin'
That's what my weekend is shaping up to be like. We all will be celebrating differently. Many of you will have cook outs and barbecues, and while I am out running and shopping Mr. Bricks will no doubt be eating McRibs, ordering Dominos Pizza and cheering on his favorite driver Danica Patrick while watching the Indy 500 and then watching NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600. So how will you be spending your upcoming Memorial Day Weekend? No matter what you do, I hope you enjoy it!
