Some Hot Car Dancing

I have fallen in love with the Mighty Boosh and now lately I want to go out dancing. My current way of dancing is to Car Dancing. It's nice to know my boys, especially Noel Fielding (sexy bitch) from the Boosh like it to0!

Painful!!

I have gone through some things that I believed to be painful. I have also been told be more than one health professional that I have a high tolerance for pain. One kind of pain I hope I never have to endure is a burn (knock on wood).

The video of Michael Jackson accident in 1984 makes me cringe. I always believed that this incident started MJ's fall. Anyone that has had to deal with someone that is an addict know it usually isn't a quick thing, but a slow painful process and if they don't get help, then it ends the way he did, if that is how he ended.

Not Going to Cali (as if I thought I would)

I thought what the heck, I'll register for a chance to go to the Michael Jackson Memorial.

Yes I am a closet fan. I was always a fan and had the Thriller album. I thought he did some really stupid stuff, but no, I don't believe he molested anyone. Call me naive, but now that he is gone, I feel like I can admit the way I feel. (I know at least one person who is sighing if he's reading this.)
I have been very upset since he died because I see it as a part of my childhood and my life that died. I didn't realize how upset I would be, but now that it is looking like a "murder," I feel even more upset. I know I seem silly but I can't help the way I feel.

So I registered for the heck of it. I felt if it happens I wanted to be there. I received an email this morning from AEG (could it be) but it was a "so sorry, you didn't get a ticket." Just as well. Do I really think I would be able to fly to LA that last minute? Probably not.




So to everyone that is there, wish him well in the afterlife, if he believed in it(Jahovah Witnesses' don't believe in it until Armagedden). I hope if his kids are there they can see how much people loved their DAD and I hope that helps their recovery.

Joining Netflix Revolution


I finally joined NetFlix, mainly out of sheer frustration with Hastings. I watch Japanese Anime and sometimes I will miss an episode or two that make all the difference. My ability to see Japanese Anime is limited being in Wichita Falls and watching Adult Swim on Saturday Night.
I renewed my membership at Hastings so I could re-watch FullMetal Alchemist and try to fill in some gaps. I was doing fine and then I couldn't seem to get my hands on the 10th disk. I went back a few times to look and finally decided to ask the lady behind the counter about that disk.
She said they didn't have disk 10. Uh, OK. A 51 episode series and you don't have the dvd available for rent with 4 epidsodes. I thought I was being smart and suggested that they take one of the disks they have for sale in the Used DVD pile and complete the series. To my surprise, they don't do that. How freaking frustating!! I wasn't going to buy the whole series for four episodes.
So, I give in, NetFlix has it and we'll see how it goes. Supposedly I'll be able to see other Anime, so it should come in very handy. I must be one of the last people to finally give in, but it had to happen sometime.

My First Ikebana Project


In my efforts to relax my mind, one of the things that is supposed to help is Japanese Flower Arranging, called Ikebana.


My first attempt at it ended up ok, I think.



I just took some easter flowers from Wally World and gave it a whirl

Great Visit


I was lucky enough to be able to visit Larry and his boys Logan and Oliver this weekend. Logan was his usual precocious self and Oliver is getting to be a big boy and doing great. Logan is a bundle of energy and constantly wanting to talk (hmmm). Oliver is a pretty calm and happy kid unless he is hungry. I am so pleased at how well both the boys are doing, especially Oliver. Ollie rolled over for us three times, so who knows what he'll do next time I see him.

"You're Tearing me Apart Lisa"

I guess if I make to LA on a Saturday night. I'll have to see the worst movie ever made.
"The Room"
Adult Swim showed it and boy it stinks, but it would be great as a mystery science theatre also.

Manbabies

After my big rant yesterday, I had to find something a little light to put on my blog. So I put some rather intelligent babies talking. Aww.

Manbabies - watch more funny videos

Abuse of Perceived Power/A PIG

Ryan Moats has been robbed of a moment with his mother in law that he will never get back. His mother in law suffered breast cancer which is bad enough, but Ryan Moats drove his wife, her daughter from Houston to Plano, to say goodbye and they coded the poor woman TWICE hoping Ryan would be able to get in to say his goodbye but it was too late by the time he finally was able to get after this "Officer" let him get away. By the way, the red light he supposed ran, he stopped at it, it never changed so he went ahead, the light was broken, so the ticket was dropped.

Also racism, played a big part here. If some white people walked out of the car he would have let them go, but he assumed the worst. I give Moats credit for not identifying himself as an NFL player, but I would have done like his wife and said screw you, I'm going.

Also, why can't he let him go to the room and give the ticket to hospital personnel instead of wasting all that time?

Powell, Karma is a bitch.

I have always said, the cops have been there to give me a ticket but never there when I really needed them. I once thought I had an intruder in the house. I kept calling them back and asking if they were coming or not, because it seemed like forever.

Japanese Tea, Meditation, and Stillness

I realized by going through my old writings, that I HAVE to do what I want. Also, I haven't been still lately and that's what I'm going to work on. It doesn't take total quiet, it just takes, finding the moments in the day.


Cramer (Mad Money) Videos

At least Cramer has the guts to defend himself to Stewart and the American people.

Evaluation time

Since I am getting evaluated on my teaching abilities tomorrow, I figured I needed some inspiration.

Santelli, CNBC, Quintanilla & Stanford: OH MY!

Awesome video: It wasn't just the Bush administration with their heads in the sand about our recession.

Am I bad luck?

Starting to get a little freaked. Bad luck seems to follow me around. It doesn't always hit me personally, but people I have seen, like Robin Williams. He has to have an Aortic Valve Replacement. Then I buy tickets to see the Who and one of them dies. I could go on and on, but it would start to get too depressing.
