Survivor......? Oops....

Last night, I sat down around 7:45... When I looked at the DVR, I noticed the little record light wasn't on... WTF? So I turned on the TV and yep... Survivor was on, but I wasn't recording.... We had too much on the list and were out of room. So... My whole Survivor watching experience last night was about 2 minutes before tribal council on.... I hate when that happens. Looks like Austin went home.... and that's pretty much all I know. Oh well.... Happy Friday!

Political idea....

I've come to a new conclusion.... I want term limits. Not limiting folks to a few terms.... No... I think nobody should be able to hold an office for more than one term. You go in, you serve your country, and you go back home. You are done at that point. Career politicians suck. Look at the whole immigration deal the are trying to work out right now. over 90% of American's say they want the flow stopped and the illegals deported. they don't want to give them amnesty (by any name). They don't want to reward people who broke our laws to get here in any way. So our wonderful politicians (who obviously know what's best for us) decide to try to make laws granting them amnesty and no plugs for the hole that is the border. Get rid of these people. I don't know which is worse, illegal aliens or politicians... at least the illegals will work for their money.... The saddest part about my idea for term limits.... The people who would have to make it a law are the folks who's job depends on there not being limits.... That makes about as much sense as letting them vote for their own raises... oh wait... they do that too... Well crap...

American Idol....

Oh boy, here goes guppy with another American Idol post... Wah wah wah... you bunch of babies... :) Anyway... tonight was country night... And it was mostly another week of suckitude like last week... WTF people??? You are supposed to be the top 9 in this thing... Why can't any of you act like it? That sucked. Sucked. and then, it sucked some more. Maybe they should go back to assigning you folks songs? Anyway... let's take a look at the sucktacular that was last night..... Taylor Hicks John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads Ummmm....NO. I will admit something here... I like John Denver. I know... some of you are really wondering about me now... But that's ok. Taylor... WTF was that? Some advice? I know... you need advice from some dude on the Internet, right? but I'll give it anyways... Don't just stand there and try to sing something. Especially on a night where your singing doesn't fit the song... Move around, be the spastic old dude with tourettes... wow us with the shear goofiness that is Taylor. But don't ever do what you did last night again. That sucked. Mandisa Shania Twain - Any Man of Mine Madisa didn't win herself any new fans last night either. Randy liked the last 5 seconds of it at least... Simon liked the 5 seconds after it was over... I kinda have to go with Simon on this one. I was bored, and she didn't sing it well. bad start to the night... Elliott Yamin If Tomorrow Never Comes - Garth Brooks This was painful. Elliot.... You need to take the advice they give Bucky and turn it over for yourself... some things do not need quite so much enunciation... Pavorati sings Garth.... ewwwwwww..... Paris Bennett How Do I Live - LeAnn Rimes The judges liked this crap? WTF? If I could vote somebody off, Paris would be the one... Ace Young Tonight I Wanna Cry - Keith Urban Boring, blah, yawn... Sung better than he has anything else recently, but that's not saying much... Wake me up when this thing is over.... Kellie Pickler Reba McEntire - Fancy Hey wow... Kelly can sing country? Who knew? She sang it well, but She really needs to learn how to work the stage... Something other than the strange painful looking bow-legged thing she does.... Chris Daughtry Keith Urban - Making Memories of Us Chris did ok. He needed to after last week's attempt at Creed.... Still kinda bored me though.... Katharine McPhee Faith Hill - Bringing out the Elvis Katharine has the voice for stuff like this... Now if she could learn to change the cutesy little smile into a sexy look that fits that voice, she'd be the total package... Overall, one of the best of the night... Bucky Covington Best I Ever Had - Gary Allen Bucky... WTF? You had such a broad category... COUNTRY! You could have chosen anything- something that would give you a chance to use the last slot to make people remember you up there, but instead, you decided to put us to sleep. I hope for your sake it wasn't a fatal choice.... Anyway... what a crappy night. Again. I almost hate to pick a bottom three tonight. If people were judging them just on last night's performance, the botton three would be a bottom 6 instead... with only Kellie, Chris and Katherine having any hope of being safe.... But I don't think Taylor or Mandisa will be in the bottom three just yet.... Out of the other four- Paris, Ace, Elliot & Bucky.... It's really anybody's guess who will hit the bottom.... I'll be happy if either Ace or Paris go home, And if I had to say which will go- I'd probably pick Ace. He has consistantly sucked worse than the others.... so yeah... he's my pick tonight.

Tuesday...

Wed. at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 a.m. the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06 I've had issues with my back and neck for a long time... I regularly end up seeing a chiropractor or a massage therapist... I get to the point that I can barely move my neck at all. My chiropractor asked me if I had ever been in a motorcycle wreck after seeing my x-rays. I guess I did a bit too much stage diving in my youth... ANYWAY... the point to my drawn out little story... Last week, I had to go get a massage because once again I could barely move... The next day.. I was sitting at work and realized something... My wallet is a pain in the ass... It really is... I pulled it out of my back pocket and it hasn't gone back in since... And guess what? My neck hasn't been nearly as bad since then.... Go figure. Just for grins... watch the way this lady grabs this guys attention back....

The art of distraction......

Friday night we went and saw a movie.... Saturday, we went to garage sales and got some new projects to take up some time... Yesterday it was get paint and weed killer and stuff to take up more time... We need to get the house cleaned up before next week... We need to get the spare room in order for Stormii's mom and grandma.... We need to make sure a lot of stuff is done before next Wednesday.... But doing the stuff to get ready makes it seem more real. Sometimes (like now) I try to fill up my time so that a big event I dread (like Stormii's surgery) doesn't feel so real... I try to fill up all my time so I don't have to think about what is to come... so I don't have to deal with the unknown... I know all the stuff I should be doing, but doing it brings reality so much closer to being real. So I distract myself... I do stupid little projects... I get highly involved in TV shows... I play mindless computer games... I do anything but think about what is to come... Maybe that's not so bad... It wouldn't be good to sit and dwell on it... It wouldn't do any good to worry... I wish I could bring myself to spend more time in prayer, but I even tend to distract myself from that too... Anyway... I don't even know if this is making sense, but it did distract me for a few minutes to write about it.

Did you remember?

Yep.... it's my least favorite weekend of the year.... The shortest one. Daylight savings time.... Joy o joy. Why do we need this? Why do we go thru the ritual of setting clocks forward and backward over and over and over again.... let's settle on a time and go with it! Next year, it comes earlier (in March) and stays later (till November).... Why couldn't they just say- Hey.... this time works for us... we're gonna keep it all year! Can't decide which time? Split the difference... make permanent real time half an hour from what it is right now! Anyway.... enjoy what's left of your weekend- even though they stole an hour from you....

I think I might be a Democrat.....

I know this may shock some of you, but I think I may vote for Democrats this next time around. I've looked around at the party I was in and no longer identify with their values- Bush lied to get us into an unjust war for Halliburton Lower taxes for rich people while the rest of us get screwed They want to control women's bodies The homophobic right wing religious nutballs want to persecute gay people and deny them their right to marry goats or whoever they choose. The racist right wingers who want to deny our guest workers the right to basic human rights.... Only rich republicans can afford basic healthcare Minimum wage should be raised to at least $15 an hour We need to understand the plight of the people in the middle east and try to understand the reasons they are attacking us rather than blowing up innocent women and children and making more of them hate us I'm running out of ideas for my little April Fool's post here.... You leftists are a bunch of nutcases and I can't even get myself to think like that even for a joke. At least I tried..... Have a great April Fools day everybody!

Saturday morning

Last weekend this is what got me going.... yummy! Anyway.... here's the latest thing to bloom out at my house.... I love these things.
