That day my fiancé decided to go to the museum. I found that weird usually he never wants to do things like that. So we got to the museum and we were looking at the things and so I see a shining object in a box so I went over to see, and in the glass box there was a little box just sitting there with a diamond ring and a piece of paper saying “I will love you forever if you just say yes. Taylor will you marry me?”
I was so surprised I did not know what to say but my heart did everybody around us where staring so I with a great big smile whispered in his ear, “Of course I’ll marry you!!!”

At Disney World, in Victoria & Albert’s. The waiter brought a vase of a dozen red roses to our table and then presented me with a covered silver tray. When the cover was removed, a glass slipper containing a ring was revealed. The glass slipper was engraved: “Will You Marry Me?” and surrounded by rose petals. My husband got down on his knee, professed his love for me, and asked me to marry him.

I produced this animation as a way of proposing to my girlfriend (now wife), Natasha, who I had been dating for some time. I assembled a team of 20 animators to assist me, including co-workers, as well as students from my 3D character animation class at the Art Institute of California-San Francisco. We created more than four minutes of animation in just three months.
When it was completed, I surprised Natasha by bringing her to the Parkway Movie Theater in Oakland, where they played the animation on the big screen in front of over 100 of our friends and family. The entire event was filmed for the TLC television show “A Perfect Proposal.”

I had an acquaintance (whom Pam did not know) show up ahead of us to play Putt Putt, and then on the 18th hole, the ring was in the hole waiting for her. I had to intentionally 5-putt to make sure Pam got there first. We had pictures taken in action by the friends, and she was very surprised.

When I came home, my boyfriend said he had a gift for me for Christmas and was unsure if it was something I really wanted. I said okay, what is it? He said it’s in the bedroom. Okay, I thought. We talked into the bedroom. I was the first one in the room. It was lit up in candle light and roses were on the bed spelling out “will you marry me?” I turned around and he was on one knee with the ring in his hand.

Sunday morning it had been snowing all night long. I woke up to a world covered with snow. When I got out of bed and went to the window, stretching. I realized that I was looking at snow piled up high to make a huge statue shaped as a diamond ring. Then I looked around and saw the rest of the design; letters made from snow to read “Will you marry me?” I ran downstairs to find my boyfriend standing in the living room holding a beautiful diamond ring, this one was real. I said YES, we hugged and kissed.

This is a confusing time for deciding how to invest your money, especially if you are considering the stock market. Some say the worst is yet to come, others say get in now and ride out the long-term gains. In September of last year, billionaire Warren Buffet was buying up shares of U.S. companies. In a New York Times article, he wrote “A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful”.

Does this mean you should go out and put all your money into the stock market? Slow down there nellie. Who knows when the recession will turn around, so for the short term, it’s best to keep some cash on hand. Experts say to have 3 years worth of living expenses in something safe like a money market that you have easy access to. As for what’s left over, the stock market will show the best gain over time. Your investments may start out by going even further down, but you have to stay in to win. Stocks grow faster than bonds, eventually.

Now is also the time to look at funds you already have. Experts say you want to maintain a portfolio that’s half stocks and half bonds. With the recent decline in stock values, your portfolio may be currently heavy on the bond side. Now is the time to buy cheap stocks to even things out. While bonds average a 3.2% return on your money, stocks will get you 7% in the long run.

Then I came across an interview with Toni Morrison, a Nobel laureate. Her views on racism I totally agree with. She talked about when people first came to the United States, most were servants, criminals or homeless. The new land had no laws, so they could kill anybody they want. It gave them superiority. And that is what race is born from.

She talks of a world where people stand up for their ethnicity without harboring any superiority. So yes, we are all Americans as Obama wants, but we also have an ethnic background we are proud of.

You are not born a racist. You are taught to be a racist. This is what has to stop. It is fine to feel superior, but only for your experience or education. That superiority should be used to educate others, not to hold court over them. It is all well and good that racism is taught as bad in school, but it needs to come from home first.

While you raise your heart rate during exercise, it lowers your resting pulse. A fit heart will actually beat fewer times during the average day. If you have heart disease, exercise is even more important. Just be sure to check with your doctor for limitations.

A sedentary lifestyle is much riskier. An out of shape heart can also get flabby. When fat gets into the heart muscle it can interfere with electrical impulses. This can cause interrupted heart beat and can lead to death.
