President Obama vs the Tea Party Gang: Who really has our best interest at heart?

FYI- Sorry this post is a bit long, and it is a rant, so I thank you in advance for reading!Last night I had my eyes opened up further to the extreme stupidity of some Americans. It is about a movement, a Tea Party Movement that “seems” to be gaining in popularity and people opposing the Obama Administrations Health Care Plan, any increase in taxes, and the POTUS himself. Apparently it is a 2009 thing,...

Tuesday Random Thoughts

Random Tuesday Thoughts. I like memes. What does the word meme mean? I've been seeing it around and I looked it up: n. A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another. Interesting.I think movie critics suck. They only seem to give awesome reviews to movies that most will never gravitate too and if I like,...

Music Monday - Ludo "Love Me Dead"

What can I say about this song? The first time I heard it, I was struck by the lyrics and how funny and powerful they are. And the video is probably one of the few videos I’ve ever seen that is absolutely literal to the lyrics, which makes this a unique find, at least in my book. I also write to the song, as it just evokes emotions and thoughts conducive to whatever I’m working on. Plus it is just...

Are you a Photographer?

Well I'm not. At least not a serious one. I have been thinking about taking it on as a hobby but honestly it seems like to much effort. Is it? I have a simple digital camera, and lately things have just been popping out at me so to speak. I've taken a couple of pictures of the sky and this freaky looking tree. I think they are ok, but when I see people who really take the hobby to heart, well mine...

1981

This was a big year for me. I was in a class play. My reign as a klepto was officially over. I still had no boobs. I was turned down to be a cheerleader. I read my first young adult romance. I finally got a backbone. I was a double dutching jump roper until a girl with man feet jumped on my foot and sprang it. And like that, my career was over. My little sister was born. I could go on, but as you...

Working on my Music List for NaNoWriMo

I love music. I love listening to whats on the radio, but I love when I personally find a new artist, at least new to me. I am an avid viewer of Castle, an interesting TV show on Monday nights. It stars one of my favorite actors, Nathon Fillion from the Joss Whedon universe (Buffy season 7, Firefly/Serenity). I actually came to the show late in its first season, but have been watching every episode since. So last night, when Beckett (the female lead character) took a bubble bath the most amazing...

Foot in Mouth Disease

Sometimes I wonder why I even open my mouth. I swear I think I have all the answers. I think I need to go to a “how to talk to people” seminars, because apparently I suck at it. I just ticked off my friend and my son. Who’s next?Jeez I yelled at my son because he got into trouble. Now everyone is getting on me for being too hard on him. What?! Ok then I saw something on the news that had me worried...

Music Monday - Joss Stone "Right To be Wrong"

Oh another fun meme! I like this one. All about music. So I picked Joss Stone song "Right to be Wrong" as it is one of my favorite songs to sing in karaoke. I sang it this past Saturday, and I will admit, I did get crowd participation. I only wish I had the confidence to go on America's Got Talent, but I'll dream a little Dream. So enjoy the song about a girl who wants the choice to be wrong so she...

Scary Movies are not for me!

President Obama: Nobel Peace Prize means No peace in America

Disclaimer: Sometimes I read stuff and I shake my head at what people really think. You will probably read this and shake your head and say why? Well I felt compelled to give an opinion. I just received in my email a news alert about Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize and my first thought was, ok who is going to hate on him first? I am an American, and I am usually proud to be one. But is it me or...

Wibiya toolbar on the bottom: Why is it so much cooler?

That is what I thought when I first started seeing the Wibiya toolbar on other blogs. You know the pink one at the bottom of this blog? If you can’t see it, it is because I assume you don’t use Firefox as your internet browser. By the way, I look good in Firefox.I searched high and low and spent countless hours researching. I could have asked other blog owners, but I didn’t. I wanted to be part of...
