The Best Travel Companion
The Spacesleeper is a new, innovative travel pillow that lets you rest your head comfortably while keeping your neck at a natural angle. This helps you avoid waking up with that stiff neck that is so commonly a byproduct of those travel pillows that go around your neck. It’s compact size makes it a great alternative to lugging around standard bulky pillows. And Spacesleeper doesn’t move or slide down. This makes it ideal for sleeping comfortably as a passenger in a car, plane, bus or train.
The Spacesleeper pillow also prevents dirt and germs found on many surfaces from touching your face. Even using a standard pillow to protect your face is ineffective because those pillows become receptacles for dirt and germs themselves. That’s the magic of the Spacesleeper travel pillow. Your face doesn’t touch anything and yet is incredibly comfortable. Just by keeping the dirt and germs away from your face many adolescent and adult skin problems may be reduced or even eliminated.
Order your Spacesleeper pillow today and make your next travel experience your most comfortable adventure ever!

Start the War on Aging
One of the first places we notice aging is in our skin. Most people know that the main cause is sun damage so any wrinkle prevention plan must include sunscreen. But I wanted to mention another wrinkle cause you may not have considered, your pillow. Did you know that how you sleep and what you sleep on can affect your looks. Dermatologists can often identify the side of the face you sleep on just by looking at your wrinkles.
So what are Sleep Wrinkles?
Every night while your sleeping, skin can take excessive damage being creased firmly against your mattress or pillow. These “sleep wrinkles” are temporary and usually last only a few hours into the day. While this may seem somewhat insignificant these “sleep wrinkles” can actually become permanent. You are, in effect, ironing in facial wrinkles on your skin every time you sleep. Spacesleeper allows your skin to be free of contact during the night, allowing for more comfort and leaving you “sleep wrinkle” free. Here is a quote from the Doctor’s Book of Home Remedies:
Keep pillows away from your face. “Watch out for sleep wrinkles,” says Dr. Binstock. These are wrinkles that are caused by pressing your face into the pillow at night. If you’re guilty of this habit, learn to sleep on your back instead, or experiment to find a position where your face is not pressing the pillow. You may see some of your smaller lines fade away.

A quick search of the net will reveal that sleeping on you back is the most common suggestion. Unfortunately, thats not a comfortable option for many people. Spacesleeper allows you to comfortably sleep in any position you like.
Spacsleeper also has the additional benefit of keeping your face away from the dirt and oils that accumulate on your pillow. Most people realize that dirty pillowcases can also contribute to wrinkles. We’ve all seen the thousands of cleansers dedicated to help us rid our faces of those dirt and oils. They all recommend some kind of daily cleansing routine to help avoid wrinkles and protect your skin. It wouldn’t make much sense to clean your face each day only to then spend the next 8 hours rubbing the dirt and oils back in. Well now you don’t have to. The spacesleeper pillow creates space between your face and any surface and helps you avoid re-exposing your face to dirt and natural oils. So give your face some space and look younger, longer.

According to the TMJ Association, “Temporomandibular Joint and Muscle Disorders (TMJDs)…” are a “…set of conditions that can cause pain in the area of the jaw joint and associated muscles and/or problems using the jaw. Both or just one of the TM joints may be affected. TMJDs can affect a person’s ability to speak, eat, chew, swallow, make facial expressions, and even breathe.”
Signs and symptoms of a TMJ disorder may include:
Read what doctors and patients have to say about their experiences with the Spacesleeper Pillow: “When I first saw the Spacesleeper pillow, I knew that it would be a great product for my patients. Over the years I’ve been working with patients to get them to change their sleeping habits. Sleeping with pressure on the lower jaw can have numerous bad effects. It makes the bite asymmetric, puts pressure on the jaw joint and helps cause asymmetric grinding and clenching. The Spacesleeper can help temporomandibular problems by keeping patients off their jaw at night. I have been able to help numerous “TMJ” patients including myself when jaw joint and muscle pain flares up. The Spacesleeper, when used properly, can prevent patients from sleeping on their lower jaw. This is important and can alleviate acute pain relatively quickly. I also love to use the Spacesleeper for patients who undergo jaw and facial surgery. This helps everything to heal symmetrically by not putting pressure on the jaw or unequal pressure on the face. Lastly, I have found my orthodontic treatments are a lot more consistent and faster treatment when the patient doesn’t sleep on their jaw. So, routinely, this is a “go to” device.”
Thomas R. Pitts, D.D.S., M.S.D. “Since I came upon the “Spacesleeper” pillow, I’ve given one to each of my TMJ dysfunction patients. Everyone of them has experienced a significant reduction, if not a total elimination of myo-fascial pain. I’m employing splint therapy much less often and have drastically reduced the administration of prescription drugs to patients with this disorder.”
Louis Anderson, D.D.S., M.S.
Katy, Texas “I have seen remarkable results with my patients using the space sleeper. Patients suffering from sleepless night due to neck and jaw pain have reported significant improvement in the amount and quality of their sleep. I’d recommend this device to anyone with chronic neck, jaw pain, or headaches that seem, at their worst, in the morning.”
Bryan C. Hansen, M.S., D. C.
Reno, NV “Having been a long time TMJ sufferer, I would wake up exhausted and with severe headaches. I actually felt like I had been punched in the face. I’ve been wearing the “Spacesleeper” pillow for four weeks, and it has changed my life. The headaches are gone and I have no pain in my face. I’m sleeping normally for the first time in years, and I feel rested and full of energy for my day.”

Houston, Texas Post Operative Discomfort
After several years of engineering, research and observation, the Spacesleeper Pillow has become a revolutionary adjunct to medical and dental regimens and is already being widely used by doctors to assist their patients in many ways. Because their patients can sleep on the side or back when wearing the pillow, it has been effective in reducing postoperative discomfort in the following ways:
In addition we have observed startling impact on:
The concept of creating a space between the face and any sleeping surface is the secret. Several prototypes were researched before the ideal structure was attained. We are continually seeking ways to improve the Spacesleeper Pillow. The feedback we receive from doctors, their patients and members of our development team indicate there may be further applications.
Signs and symptoms of a TMJ disorder may include:
- Migraines that are more intense upon waking
- Sore jaw muscles
- Ear pain, ringing in the ears or even hearing loss
- Facial pain or muscle spasms
- Jaw popping/clicking
- Locking of the jaw
- Difficulty in opening the mouth fully
- Difficulty chewing
- Discomfort while talking or chewing
- Frequent neck or shoulder aches

- Facial Trauma Surgery
The design of the Spacesleeper Pillow also lends itself nicely for treatment of hospital patients. Since the critically designed outer case can be cleaned, infection and cross-contamination is greatly reduced.
In addition, this amazing pillow reduces post-surgical relapse in plastic and reconstructive facial surgical patients. Preventing these patients from sleeping on their faces only helps during post-operative recovery. Other Medical BenefitsIn addition we have observed startling impact on:

TMJ
TMJ disorders cause tenderness and pain in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) — the joint on each side of your head in front of your ears, where your lower jawbone meets your skull. This joint allows you to talk, chew and yawn.
Between 5 and 15 percent of people in the United States experience pain associated with TMJ disorders, according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, part of the National Institutes of Health. Women are more likely than men to develop TMJ disorders.
In most cases, pain and discomfort associated with TMJ disorders can be alleviated with self-managed care or nonsurgical treatments, but more-severe cases may need to be treated with dental or surgical interventions.

everything you need to know... and more.
The TMJ:"TMJ" stands for TemporoMandibular Joint, or the jaw joint. You have two TMJs, one in front of each ear, connecting the lower jaw bone (the mandible) to the skull. The joints allow movement up and down, side to side, and forward and back—all the mobility necessary for biting, chewing and swallowing food, for speaking and for making facial expressions.
TMJs:Temporomandibular joint diseases and disorders(TMJDs), commonly called TMJ, are a collection of poorly understood conditions characterized by pain in the jaw and surrounding tissues and limitations in jaw movements. Injury and conditions that routinely affect other joints in the body, such as Arthritis, also affect the temporomandibular joint.
Who is Affected by TMJDs?: The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) states that over 10 million people in the United States suffer from TMJ problems at any given time. While both men and women experience TMJ problems, the majority of those seeking treatment are women in their childbearing years.
Causes:Not all causes are known. Some possible causes or contributing factors are injuries to the jaw area, various forms of Arthritis, dental procedures, genetics, hormones, low-level infections, auto-immune diseases, stretching of the jaw as occurs with inserting a breathing tube before surgery, and clenching or grinding of the teeth.
Diagnosis:Diagnosing TMJDs can be difficult and confusing. For example, facial pain can be a symptom of many conditions, such as sinus or ear infections, decayed or abscessed teeth, various types of headache, and facial neuralgia (nerve-related facial pain).
At present, there is no widely accepted, standard test to correctly identify all TMJ conditions. In most cases, however, a complete evaluation, including a detailed medical history, the patient’s description of symptoms, and physical examination of the head, neck, face and jaw provide information useful for making a diagnosis.
Tests that are recommended are often intended to rule out other possible medical conditions. A diagnosis of TMJDs may be made only after every other possibility has been considered and eliminated. Many TMJ patients see multiple healthcare providers, such as primary care physicians, dentists, sleep specialists, ear, nose and throat specialists, neurologists, endocrinologists, rheumatologists, pain specialists, chiropractors, etc., in their search for answers.
Before undergoing any costly diagnostic test, it is always wise to get an independent opinion from another healthcare provider of your choice and one not associated with your current provider.
Progression of TMJDs:Some TMJ problems improve on their own, without treatment, within weeks or months with simple home therapy. For others, symptoms worsen over time and develop into long-term, persistent and debilitating pain. Most people with TMJ problems have relatively mild or periodic symptoms.
Symptoms:Pain is the most common symptom. TMJ pain is often described as a dull aching pain in the jaw joint and nearby areas, including the ear, which comes and goes. Some people, however, report no pain, but still have problems using their jaws. Other symptoms can include:
Additional symptoms may include: ringing in the ears, ear pain, decreased hearing, dizziness and vision problems.
Keep in mind that occasional discomfort in the jaw joint or chewing muscles is common, and is not always a cause for concern. Many people with certain TMJ problems get better without treatment. Often the problem goes away on its own in several weeks to months. However, if the pain is severe and lasts more than a few weeks, see your healthcare provider.
Treatment:Because most common jaw joint and muscle problems are temporary, lasting only weeks or months, simple care is all that is usually needed to relieve the discomfort. Self-care practices, for example, eating soft foods, applying ice or moist heat, and avoiding extreme jaw movements (such as wide yawning, loud singing, and gum chewing) are useful in easing symptoms.
Unfortunately, treatments are based largely on beliefs that are not grounded in thorough scientific research. As a result, some patients are made worse by these treatments.
Insurance Coverage:Many medical and dental insurance plans do not pay for treatment of jaw joint and muscle disorders, or only pay for some procedures. Until the causes of the various TMJ diseases and disorders have been discovered, and quality science demonstrates that treatments are effective without causing harm, insurance companies will not recognize treatments that have questionable outcomes. Contact your insurance company to see which treatments are covered.
Can TMJDs be Prevented?:Patients who are told they should undergo treat-ment(s) to prevent the development of a TMJ problem should know that there is currently no evidence that such conditions can be prevented.

Is extremely addiciting. I can’t stop reading peoples secrets. Secrets are like drugs. I want more and more and more. But they’re probablly not healthy for me… or maybe they are. Maybe reading others secrets makes me feel like I can relate so I don’t post my deepest and darkest thoughts. I can’t believe how many people are out there, who love someone who doesn’t love them back, or know they exist. I have been there, I have done that. I guess you just have to go for it or forget about it. A lot of times I forgot about it. But for this one… I did. I had always thought of me and Shawn instead of me and Ian. No matter how mysterious and charming and romantic and passionate Ian was… I would always find myself hoping that Shawn was secretly jealous of us. That he wondered what it would be like to be fucking me instead of some other girl… exactly whay I was doing to him. Everytime me and Ian did almost anything I found myself thinking about Shawn. I was infatuated, I was obsessed. I would do almost anything to have him talk to me for just a second. Or leave him a text message so maybe he would think about me just for a few minutes. And then one day… I realized. It had to be me and him. We were meant to be together. I didn’t care that they were childhood friends. I didn’t care that I ripped them apart. I didn’t care that Ian almost went schizophrenic… and is still recovering… over the entire situation. All I wanted was you. And now I have you. And now I am more content then ever and all I want to do every single day is make you happy. I am still infatuated and I am still obsessed. This weekend will be the best weekend of my life. And I am literally crying right now to think of how happy we are going to be. And how much fun we are going to have. I love you so much and I am so happy how everything went. I know you have trust issues because of it… but deep down I think I did the right thing. And one day I will prove to you how much I love you, because I know right now you don’t believe me.
that didn’t end up going how I thought it would. LOL.

eek,
I am currently traumatized. Yesterday, I got emotionally raped. By a girl. I got emotionally raped. And I don’t understand why I am so shook up over the comments she made and the gestures… and everything that happened. But I felt drained when I left, and wished I had never came in the first place. It wasn’t worth watching you DJ to feel like this. I feel gross and dirty. Anyways. A week from today I will be on Haight&Ashbury with the love of my life. It will have been exactly a year since we both realized that we love eachother. I am so excited to be able to share the experience together again. BFD is going to be amazing. I can’t wait to be there all day with you. I don’t care that all of our friends will be there, also enjoying the concert. The whole time I want to concentrate on you and do everything I can to make you happy. That’s what I live for, is to when you are truly happy. I can hear it in your voice and see it in your smile. And when I know that your that happy because of me… well. Lets just say thats the best feeling ever. I am sorry I hurt you the other day. I know the only time you really get angry is when your sad. I try not to mess up, but sometimes I don’t think about the consequences of my actions. And after I mess up… I want to die, because I don’t ever want to hurt you.
On another note Spacesleeper is going to be sponsoring the band Cerra Velle. You can find them on myspace… or whichever networking site is best for you… I’m sure they have. There will be MUCH, much more to come about that and I am truly excited for the chance to get to work with these guys!

unloved.
I have had a “blogger” account for almost three weeks now. To the avail of no followers. Thats how lame I am. Yes I realize that if I post a blog on one site… its the same on the other site. But somebody throw me a fucking bone man. There has to be SOMEBODY remotely interested in my adventures that doens’t already have a TUMBLR and a MYSPACE that is on BLOGGER and has looked at my profile… Or maybe not. Whatever. I feel unexciting. Thats not a word. Whatev.
this is why it started.
So what are Sleep Wrinkles?
Every night while your sleeping, skin can take excessive damage being creased firmly against your mattress or pillow. These "sleep wrinkles" are temporary and usually last only a few hours into the day. While this may seem somewhat insignificant these "sleep wrinkles" can actually become permanent. You are, in effect, ironing in facial wrinkles on your skin every time you sleep. Spacesleeper allows your skin to be free of contact during the night, allowing for more comfort and leaving you "sleep wrinkle" free. Here is a quote from the Doctor's Book of Home Remedies:
Keep pillows away from your face. "Watch out for sleep wrinkles," says Dr. Binstock. These are wrinkles that are caused by pressing your face into the pillow at night. If you're guilty of this habit, learn to sleep on your back instead, or experiment to find a position where your face is not pressing the pillow. You may see some of your smaller lines fade away.

The Wizard.
“Well,” said the Head, “I will give you my answer.
You have no right to expect me to send you back to
Kansas unless you do something for me in return.
In this country everyone must pay for everything he
gets. If you wish me to use my magic power to send you
home again ou must do something for me first.
Help me and I will help you.”
“What must I do?” asked the girl.
“Kill the wicked With of the West,” answered Oz.
a side note.
I figured out I am horrible at blogging about the Spacesleeper. Maybe I need to do more research? Maybe I need to care more? My philosophy is this. No one wants to read about TMJ, especially if they already have it. No one wants advertising shoved down their throats either. They can seek out the cure themselves and I will be here patiently waiting to provide them with information regarding TMJ, the Spacesleeper, and millions of other things. Medical blogging isn’t quite my expertise yet… I’ll get there Spacesleeper. I will make you big. Don’t worry little pillow… you will bring sleep
epic shit coming soon.
Haha. I guess thats tumblr.s way of telling me maybe I should get on here more. It would be easy if I only had a laptop. I want real, real, real, bad. I don’t know how to get one. But I really need one. This sucks. Ha. I have 0 credit. What do I do about that? I don’t know how to build credit. Can I hire someone to do that for me or something? This is lame. HAHA. BFD coming up next weekend. Hella can’t wait. SOOO many good people. 311, YEAH YEAH YEAHS, Dead Confederate, The Offspring, Cage the Elephant, Taking Back Sunday, Metric, Steve Aoki, Designer Drugs, Villians, DJ AM. Ahhhh so fucking stoked. I am hella sad that Does it Offend you Yeah? got canceled. Hella day offff today. Gotta go get my customized plates NVHIPPY hella excited. If you see me driving around, give me a HONKHONK. hehe. Definitely trying to come up with some ideas for Spacesleeper. But like I said, its hard to work online when you have one computer, two people, and one of them does not get off the computer. Ya, thats Shawn for you. LOL. Its okay tho, as long as he is happy. I think we are doing really good lately. It sucks that Shawn thinks that you can never just be happy together without and addon. Like kids, or money, or you don’t live together. He thinks in our situation it won’t last. But I think it will. I love him a lot and I refuse to give up everrrrr. Listening to Cage the Elephant right now. I am going to start frequently posting a song of the day and a movie of the day accompanied by a review. Stay tuned kids. I will also add a weekly review of world news, fashion, and the latest shows I’ve been to. Its gonna be fun. Make sure you stay tuned, EPIC SHIT coming soon.

etd.POP
Alright so here are my thoughts on the weekend. I left on Friday to go visit Shawns parents in Clear Lake. It was extremely nice weather there and I always love finding myself in the middle of the Black Forest, thinking, “this is nature.” We were only there for the night and a lot of our time was spent resting for POP. We usually play a game of disc golf in Lake Port but we unfortunately didn’t have time this weekend. We left Clear Lake around 12, hoping to be in San Fransisco by 3 but that did NOT happen. We could have gone the regular way that normal people take, but Shawn’s parents insisted on us going through Napa, as it would “save” a half hour. Well we took the Silverado trail, to go through Napa and that was the worst idea ever. It was beautiful, and seeing the vineyards I’ve only ever dreamed of seeing were amazing. There were all my favorite wines being brewed right there and I got to see the start of it. Duckhorn Vineyards, Clos Pegase, and Rom Baur all in a row. Amazing. I think almost everyone in that town owns a limo and has their own personal driver. It must be nice sitting on the balcony to your 5 million dollar spanish villa watching your mexicans pick the grapes your reaping the benefits of for you. How lucky is that? Ugh. Disgusting how much money is in that town man. No lie. So we get lost and end up going to back to the same fork in the road 4 different times. It was hell. The half hour we fucked around could have been the half hour we saved. We stopped between Napa and Vallejo for some food and then it was straight to our friends hotel in Oyster Point to get ready. I felt super bad for Shawn, he was ready to go within 10 minutes and us girls took forever. LOL, thats how it goes I guess. Anyways we finally get ready and drive over to the Cow Palace. I was not prepared for how big that venue was. After about 45 minutes of fucking around at the car, learning that we couldn’t bring backpacks in, running back to the car 6 different times for various things I kept forgetting and cutting some bitches from Reno we ran into to avoid the hour and a half wait in line, we FINALLY got in. When you walk to the main stage area it was like nothing I had ever seen before. I was fortunate to be one of the first thousand people in, so I pretty much got to see the venue empty and then later got to see it jam packed with people. The light set up was as epic as Ghostlands in the main area. The floor was literally a pro basketball arena with bleacher seats that wrapped around the whole thing area. The stage literally rotated. Rotated? Yes rotated with about 4 tables of decks setup for the djs. Deep Voices was playing when we first got in. I’ve seen Dyloot alone, but the pair are fucking epic. I am not a huge trance person either but what they throw down I can only describe as epic trance. We went from Deep Voices on the main stage to check out the venue and the merch. The Happy Hardcore room was just way to HAPPY and way to HARDCORE. I am not a fan. That’s where you can find the true kandi kids, dub steppin and rockin out to some ultimate rave shit. There was a lot of cool merchandise though. Shit that I have never really seen before. Glowing necklaces made out of kandi and Paul Van Dyk t-shirts. Water was 3.50, which is to be expected. We decided to go try and catch Alex Metric at six. We had pretty high expectations of him that unfortunately were not met. I wanted some dirrrrty electro and he was a little to happy. Unfortunately the Electro room wasn’t packed all night. Maybe when Freeland Live and Flosstradamus were on. But I guess when Alex was playing a lot of people weren’t even in the venue yet. And man did I feel sorry for them. Having to stand out in the wretched cold fog would have sucked balls man. After Alex Metric I am not really sure what came on. I know we chilled in the bleachers for a while, watching light shows and taking in the epic venue. I know we watched The Toxic Avenger [hella dirty btw] and then after that I remember Deadmau5. The night was a blur of ecstacy, love, and epic trance. Which I am pretty sure is what Skills was going for. Deadmau5 had the most legit trance set I have ever heard. Now like I said, I am not a huge trance fan. But I do love Deadmau5 and the night really made me appreciate him and trance a lot more. About 10 minutes before Deadmau5 finished up we went to catch Flosstradamus and jesus christ was it intense.That was one of my favorite parts of the night. I mean of course Deadmau5 was my favorite, but being able to see him and then go see Flosstradamus just tearing shit up was fucking awesome. I have such an epic video of where they shoot off some huge confetti guns right when the bass drops and it is insane. I will post many pics and many videos probablly later this week. That was so hardcore man. After Flosstradamus Freeland Live came on and literally tore shit up. I love live techno acts when people are still spinning but you got live drums, bass, and keyboard to accompany it. I remember we had to go sit on the wall for a few as it was to intense to handle up close and the distortion winding noise they were making with the track skipping was fucking epic. Ahhh. Shawn was like “man, if we were standing right there we would be dying right now…” Ya, pretty much. We went back to the main stage to watch the end of Ferry Corsten and the beginning of Paul Van Dyk. At this point in time we were kinda coming down and exhausted from driving all day and partying the rest. We took a seat in the bleachers which at this point were as packed as the floor. Every time we sat in the bleachers though, we met some awesome people. San Franciso ravers are so different then Reno ravers. Sooo much more PLUR. I can appreciate the Kandi Kids there a lot more than I can here. Everyone is actually happy and listens to actual happy techno instead of horrible gabber that you can’t even enjoy. Just to many BPMs and wayyy to much hardcore bass. Ek. I hate that shit man. The scene there is so much happier then fucking druggie downtrodden Reno ravers, for sure. Although I didn’t enjoy Ferry Corsten that much, I can say the he through down the best style of all night. I loved the trance electro mix he was playing. Great songs, and new exactly when to drop that shit. Paul Van Dyk came on, and right as he did so a fight broke out on the walkway below us. Security chased the guy into the electro room where he got swarmed (so I hear) by about 15 yellow coated security, causing Adam Freeland to end early and LA Riots to start late. Paul Van Dyk was awesome as expected, but I am just not a huge fan of main stream techno so we went to catch LA Riots, with our friends Joseph and Mike we had met during the Toxic Avenger earlier that night. Those guys are fucking awesome. I tell you this man, there are certain types of people that are a cut above the rest. People you can only truthfully find at music festivals. They ended up being part of the crew for the rest of the night and it was truly epic. And one of the best parts is that they’re going to BFD next weekend, and so are we. Shit happens for a reason and I can’t wait to party it up again in two weeks with those kids for sure. While we were waiting for LA Riots to come on Adam Freeland was on the stage taking his setup down and Shawn went and met him. Hella talked to him about his Opulent Temple Burning Man set and it pretty much made my baby’s night. He is so happy in the pictures that he got to take with him and it definitely shows. Shawn says that Adam was a really chill down to earth guy and he appreciated the feedback from his show. LA Riots FINALLY came on and we watched about 3 songs of his set, but had to leave due to ultimate fatigue. And we wanted to smoke a fattie with our new friends before we had to make the 4 hour drive back to Reno. Back at the hotel room Mike rolled one of the nicest blunts I have ever seen before of some kind medical and we smoked it on the balcony reminscing about our night and talking about how epic BFD was gonna be. I am so glad we made such good friends with those guys and I am glad the night went as smooth and as awesome as it did. The 4 hour trip to Reno ended up only being 3 cuz we were hauling ass, but we didn’t get pulled over and we were in bed safely by 5. It was definitely an epic night and I cannot wait to see our new friends again and party it up in the bay, two weeks from now. All in all POP was fucking insane, epic, and a definite runner up to my fun at Coachella (although it could never compare, and are two totally different experiences). My favorite moment of the whole night? Screaming to Soulwaxx’ “KIDS” remix, dancing crazily in the bleachers with Tarra and Makenzie as Blake Jarrell through that shit down hella hard. Will post pics and video later. PEACE YO.

ob la di, ob la da. life goes on.
wtf. My tumblarity keeps decreasing. Lol. I guess that means I need to blog more. Can do! So yesterday was awesome I would have to say. Worked at the desk job and my amazing boyfriend picked me up from work and had some awesome surprises for me I must say. Looong day, it seemed like but I gues I ended up actually doing a lot. I am oh so very tired this morning. Stayed up to late. I am still working on this spacesleeper business and I will not stop until the world hears me. Yeah, I thought that it looked stupid and ridiculous when I first saw it to. My exact reaction was, “haha, what the fuck is that?” But then I got used to it. I had reconstructive jaw surgery. Doctors broke my top jaw and moved it forward, also removing the bones that hold your teeth together on the roof of my mouth. You know that rigid part you have to run you tongue across? YA. I don’t have that. Using the spacesleeper during that time really changed things for me. See I couldn’t take my pain meds. I was allergic at the time. And sleeping on my jaw just made me ache and ache and ache. I literally could not take it. I tried the Spacesleeper because my Dad kept pushing it on me (it is his invention you know). It ended up letting me heal better than I had before and cut my “not allowed to eat time” pretty much in half. It relieved my headaches and the pressure that builds against your face when you sleep and after that I was like “I’m hooked.” I pretty much don’t go a night sleeping without it. I look so much more refreshed in the morning after I’ve rested with that all night as opposed to me just cramming my face into my pillow for eight hours. I have grown fond of that little pillow I must say. Its not that I am hooked on advertising! I am hooked on this pillow. I don’t want to shove it in everyones face and say “HEY TRY THIS!” “BUY THIS” “TRY THIS”. I want people to like it on their own account, and I’m just tryin to get the word out. I am trying to help, and people are having a pretty hard time realizing that. I’ve been hatemailed a few times now, but I have to say its going to all be worth it in the end. I will make my Dad happy, and I will be helping people.

5.17.09
At work… waiting for these stupid signs to print out. Yup, I get to put up all of our offers throughout the store [although I will not tell you where I work]. Its not necessarily a good time, but it allows for me to do things like this instead. Last night was great! I had an awesome time and my boyfriend bought me some sushi/chinese food. We sat and relaxed and watched Super High Me together. Smoking and taking drops of liquid THC [which I HIGHly recommend]. Our relationship seems to be getting better, as long as both of are actually trying. I am working on a scavenger hunt in the Reno area. My idea is to post clues on all my webspaces and to hide the Spacesleeper pillows around town. I think it is a great way to get the community involved. It is going to take a while to get that plan up and running though. A lot of time but not a lot of money, unless we have some sort of winner reception with free Spacesleeper shwag and drinks of sorts. That would be really fun but so much goes into public relations like that, not everybody realizes. You have to get permits for where you want to be, you have to have all the right advertising, vendors, partners…. everything. Its not simple. But we will get there folks. Our adwords campaign is down right now I’m pretty sure. Were venturing towards different avenues of advertisement. We having got results back of its actually working or not. I think today after work I will probablly go grocery shopping and possibly go see Star Trek in DLP down at Parklane. Geez, having two monitors up all the time is kind of confusing. Gotta remember the scroll lock key. I was looking at this monitor and my mouse wasn’t moving. Anyways, I am excited for the ETD.POP music festival in San Francisco for Memorial Day weekend. Six days from today and I will be there. Its hard to have fun and try to work all the time. I need a laptop super bad so that I can commit to working on Spacesleeper all day long. I just don’t have all the time and all the resources! But I am working on it folks. Maybe I’ll start an online fundraiser to get one! Good idea right? Well kids I think thats about all for the weekend update. If you have any questions regarding products, me or anything else, don’t hesitate to leave a note. You can also check out spacesleeper.com for all your needs. It works well for everything! From TMJ to camping! Who know pillows good be so much fun. PEACE&LOVE.
yesterday
Just got out of the GeekSquad. What a long day. Its time to work on my spacesleeper stuff now, but I need ideas on how to promote! Do you have any? I hope that maybe I will be able to go play discgolf in a bit, but it may be a bit to windy. Only time shall tell. I would love to smoke but I must wait for Shawn to get home. Saw Rocky Horror for the second time last night, and let me tell you it was epic. Way better the second time then the first. Listening to some MSTRKRFT right now. Ya they are pretty much my favorite thing since sliced bread. Favorite song by them you ask? Heartbreaker, Featuring John Legend. I have my reasons….

today, the ending.
All in all today went well, however uneventful. I watched the sequel to Rocky Horror Picture Show. A horrible little movie called Shock Treatment. It was quite interesting but proved to be a waste of time. I would not recommend it be watched by anybody. However I do strongly suggest the Rocky Horro Picture Show, both the movie and the play. Both are of EPIC PROPORTION. I hardly worked on Spacesleeper and am supposed to be planning a scavenger hunt event in the Reno local area. I am thinking I might have to put more planning into this then I expected. Which is by no means at all a bad thing… I just have to put more planning into it. Although we should be supporting local business we have decided to make some of the pillow over seas in China. We have an associate named Todi and are arranging plans to fly over and inspect the factory. I am terrified of China. I don’t know why but I feel like something horrible will happen to me if I go there. Am I wrong. Well other than that my thoughts have come to a hault and I need to eat something and prepare for sleep. And smoke a bowl. Yes people, as I may have said before SPACESLEEPER, LLC in an advocate of legal marijuana. So go at it you stoners, and check out spacesleeper.com while your at it.
thoughts of late.
I have figured that having a DVR really…. either benefits me or makes me lesser of a person. I can watch what I want, whenever I want. But I’m not really keeping up with the rest of the world am I? But how many other people DVR and aren’t keeping up with the world either. I am trying to get the Spacesleeper going, I just don’t have enough things to say at the moment. But as I get more in more confident with this new “Community Projects Engineer” position I think that I will find more and more ways to reach out to people. I think the best idea I have had so far is concentrating more locally then trying to go Global overnight. If you have any ideas or want to help, I can’t pay you, but I will smoke you out and I think thats a great start. Yes the Spacesleeper, LLC company does support the legalization of medical marijuana and are strong supporters of weed itself every single day. Just throwing that out there, although that probablly won’t help my company in the long run. Anyways, more to come later. :)

the beginning.
Anthony didn't even wait till the morning to wake up! He got up in the middle of the night and started working on a prototype right then! It ended up looking like an Eskimo helmet of some sort! Anthony started testing it out, and even that early on, six years ago, the original, horrible prototype started making a difference in the sleep of our family!
