I'm not married but....

This seems to make sense Bill:

How to be a Smart Ass 101

Enjoy your first professors!

AYE' MATIES!

This is one of the movies coming out this summer that I am COMPLETELY excited about.
Harry Potter is going to be amazing but there's just something special about Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp.

Hurray for Hollywood...

As most people who are close to me know, I just got a part time job at a local movie theatre.

Pretty exciting.

The pay isn't bad, but the perks.....sa-WEET!

Free movies. How can you not love a free movie?

Especially with the summer blockbusters coming up! Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Spiderman 3, Shrek 3, The Simpsons Movie, Ocean's Thirteen.

It's gunna be a good one.

My friend Leah suggested that I start a blog with movie reviews.

Great idea, problem is...I already have a few blogs I author/co-author now and adding one more would be exTREMELY difficult.

So instead I'll be writing my reviews here.

I also want to post a disclaimer right away that my reviews are made by me or given TO me by customer exiting the theatre, (who are always happy to fill you in on their experience) I will not be held responsible for anyone's opinions other than my own and theirs and I will under NO circumstances reiumburse your movie money! Or your popcorn cash, or what you spent on that big box of Goobers.

**REMEMBER: NOT EVERY MOVIE IS FOR EVERYBODY!**

Wild Hogs: I plan on seeing this some time this week, however, I've heard nothing but raves from customers leaving the shows. They've been laughing all the way to the exits. The general consensus is that the trailers do NOT give away the funniest scenes.

Zodiac: I have been told that this movie is long, moves very slowly at times and is exTREMELY graphic. If you can't stomach seeing a knife cut through and around someone's skin with a close up camera angle...don't see this flick.

Bridge to Taribethia: It seems as if this movie has been aimed at the wrong audience. It's not for little kids. I've heard it's VERY good but the ending is heart breaking. Bring some Kleenex.

23: So-so. Might be decent as a rental or pay-cable movie

Black Snake Moan: Long, slow and Christina Ricci doesn't get nekkid until well into this movie. I've also heard that although Justin Timberlake's role is small; he's very good.

Norbit: REALLY bad reviews from customers. They say it should be a stronger rating than PG-13. Don't waste the $$

Stay tuned!!

These Police can arrest me ANYtime!

After being completely disgusted by the finish to the Daytona 500 I started to channel surf.
Fortunately I got to VH1 Classic and saw a press conference with The Police announcing their tour and answering the stupid questions the media was throwing at them.
Then I remembered....I forgot to blog about how I felt when I heard that the band was reuniting.
To be quite honest, I was shocked!
You're talking about guys who haven't played together since the early 80's.
They were smart. They made their big hits, their great videos, played amazing live shows and called it quits leaving people still wanting more.
Well, that wasn't the ONLY reason they broke up.
Sting was ready to go solo. He was the star, no doubt.
The thing I always loved about The Police was you couldn't quite define their music. You couldn't put it in a box. It was pop, but it was rock but it was also kind of new wave. But not. Because it was melodic and the lyrics were pretty amazing. Okay, so they had "Da Doo-doo-doo, da da-da-da". Admit it though, that was a great little song. Even though I'm sure they somehow hated it.
My favorite dude in the band back then; Stewart Copeland, hands down. There was something slightly off center about him. He didn't have Sting's regalness. He didn't have Andy's calm but funny demeanor. Stewie seemed a bit....whacky. Granted, you probably have to be to be a drummer. And anyone who knows ANYTHING about music will tell you...he's one of the best. He plays on a standard, small drum kit and makes sounds out of it that would blow your mind. And quickness? There's one roll he does "Every little thing she does is magic" that's just so fast you can't believe it's humanly possible to play. But he does it, and it's incredible. Any true musician can see his talent. Maybe that's why the guy from Foo Fighters showed up at the press conference and was instructed not to ask questions about drums.
I remember when I was allowed to buy the LP Ghost in the Machine. I played that sucker OUT. Such an amazing collection of songs. They were all so different. It made you wonder who their influeces were. Two blonde Brit's and an American. How did THAT happen?

One thing I also saw during their press conference is Stewart still gets on Stings nerves. Those two are VERY different people. Andy is the mediator, Stewart is the goof genuis and Sting is.....well; Sting is Sting. Any guy who can take his name after a verb....has to be pretty special. And he is. There's no other voice like him.
And seeing how Stewart is still in amazing shape, there's no way they can slow down. He'll keep that engine rollin
I just hope that Sting can tolerate Stewart long enough to complete all the dates on the tour.
Thanks for coming back guys!

Thank you Gilda Radner

Being a somewhat last minute person, I ventured into a Hallmark store today to pick up some Valentines Day cards.
I normally don't get sucked in to this holiday because personally...I think it's bullshit. If you love someone you should show them all year round, not just once a year.

Last year on V-Day I was working my part-time job as a cashier at a local grocery store called Wegmans. I had my favorite Express Lane and all night all I was ringing up were flowers, cards, candy and the occasional beer and condoms. And EVERY person in my line was male. (stupid suckers)
Anyway, while I was about to leave the store I noticed the new cards they have that play a song when you open them. BUT SUDDENLY...I spotted Roseanne Roseannadanna! EXCUSE ME?? She never sang! It was a card marked "How are You?"
Upon opening it the words from a classic RR Weekend Update sketched came out "I'm depressed, I gained weight, my face broke out, I'm nauseous, I'm constipated, my feet swelled, my gums are bleedin', my sinuses are clogged, I got heartburn, I'm cranky and I have gas!"
Needless to say, I bought it. It's perfect for my cubicle at work.
Thank you Hallmark!!

Barbaro's gone...

Sad news today.
Barbaro; that beautiful horse who took the Kentucky Derby by storm but broke down at the Preakness has been euthanized.
Being an animal lover myself but with some veterinary experience I'm VERY sad but I also understand that it had to be done.
I've been checking the UPenn Vet hospitals website every day since it happened to read the updates on his condition or to look at new pictures of him.
I never had any knowledge of what laminitis was and didn't realize what an important thing it is for a horse to have his weight equally distributed to every hoof.
It's just really disappointing because for a long time it seemed like he was going to make it.
The doctor's did all they could do and when they realized he wouldn't be pain-free ever again, they had to let him go.

Run free sweet boy!

I knew the warm weather wouldn't last...

All the skiers and snowboarders are rejoicing here in Western, NY. The snow has come. (and yes, that picture is my car a couple years ago after a pretty decent snow fall)
I can't complain to much, I choose to live here.

I choose to live in a place that has warm weather normally 3 months out of 12. (although in 2006 it was more like 8)
I choose to live in a state with high taxes and low tax returns.
I choose to live in a state that's elects a woman who has never even LIVED in the state and was probably only elected because her husband is an ex-president (one who will only be known for getting a knob-job by an intern)
I choose to live in state where if you walk by a stranger on the sidewalk you don't dare look them in the eye. You keep your eyes straight down at your shoes until they walk by.
I choose to live in a state where the drive home on week days is like being part of the Indy 500 except you're not surrounded by talented/experienced drivers.
I choose to live in a state that charges you for use of it's largest interstate

But...there are some great things about New York:
I choose to live in an area where all public places, other than the outdoors, are SMOKE FREE!
I choose to live in a state where, no matter which city you live in, you can always find one place that has the most AMAZING pizza.
I choose to live in a state that has all four seasons.(although sometimes you think there's only two; winter and road construction)
I choose to live in a state that's only a few hours drive away from Ontario, Canada. (let's face it, unless you're somewhere near Vancouver, being close by is useless except if you're going on a beer run)
I choose to live in a state that has three NFL teams, 3 NHL teams, and one really amazing MLB team,...and the Mets.
I choose to live in a city that has tons of minor league sports teams and they all have new stadiums to play in.
I choose to live in a city that's a short drive away from a NASCAR race track.

and finally; I choose to live in a state whose motto is...I LOVE MYSELF! lol

Random Friday stuff

Okay, so the Yanks let my beloved Barry Zito get away.
Dang it!
We've got a hot infield and we could've gotten even HOTTER on the pitchers mound. But no!
Well, at least they're trying to ship The Big Uniq's stupid ass back to Arizona.
What a waste of money he was.
And they signed my Mikey Mussina, so I can't be TOO upset.
I was just hoping to see lovely Mr. Zito on TV 3-4 days a week.
When I think about it though, it does make sense that he stays in cali where he can continue his quirky zen-like lifestyle. I'll be interested to see how he and the bad-Barry get along.

What else,....OH! The whole deal with the FDA slapping some fines on the diet pills for being total bullshit.
All I can say is...DUH!!!
It's scary that people are stupid enough to think that just taking some pill will make them skinny. Oh yea, they have ones to make your boobs bigger too!
Come on folks, does the government really need to save us from our lack of commen sense?
I admit, I've gained weight. Right now I weigh more than I ever have in my life.
And I know why.....I got lazy. When I got the bloodclot over the summer I just had other priorities and they didn't include eating right or doing crunches.
So now I'm paying for it. But I'm not one to think there's a miracle pill sold by info-mericial that can make me drop 30lbs in a month. It took me some time to get this way so it's going to take some time to get skinny again.

Can I also tell you that this global warming thing is really paying off up here in Western, NY right now. Wow, the weather has basically been spring-like. People are even GOLFING up here. Crazy isn't it? Although I have this underlying suspicion that when Old Man Winter finally shows up we're going to get our asses buried in snow. It's inevitable.
Well, it'll give me reason to wear that new winter coat I got for Christmas!

Is it Daytona Speed Weeks yet???

"You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch..."

I was born around the hey-day of Christmas Specials; Rudolph, Frosty and one of my favorites...How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
Although I admit that the live-action version with Jim Carrey is one of my favorites, the original animation holds a special place in my heart as well. There's something about showing someone whose anti-Christmas that makes this time of year even warmer and fuzzier!
While searching for a song on one of my favorite Christmas sites (Santasearch.org) I noticed that they had the full audio version of the cartoon downloaded.
So I thought I'd share it with you and hope that it makes doing your homework or 9-5 work more tolerable.
And just so you know, it's not the TV version but a version where Boris Karloff does ALL the voices; but it does include all the music!

A little visual gift for Emily

And all the other red-blooded women who read this blog....

Nothing like a little Brayden for the holidays!

Don't be a Scrooge!

I know as well as anyone that holidays can be a stressful time of year.
No money, no time....just crazy, keep-you-awake-at-night stress.

This article that I read in the New York Daily News today makes some great points:
(I hope my sister reads this, she has the holiday-crazy bug worse than ANYone!)

Ho, No Holiday Stress
Coping with the demands of the Season

by Jean Chatzky

Time is money, the middle of the holiday season, it can seem as though you don't have enough of either. Not only do you have to scrape together money to buy presents, you also have to find windows in your busy days to hit the stores, go to holiday parties, entertain out-of-town guests and, if you're really ambitious, decorate your house.

To make things worse, this season just naturally seems to lend itself to clutter. Gifts need to be stored or even hidden, wrapping paper is ev erywhere and visitors leave things behind. As if that's not enough of a mess, you have to find a place in your home for all of the new stuff coming in.

"Everybody's eyes are bigger than their schedules," said Julie Morgenstern, time management expert, author of "Never Check E-mail in the Morning" and creator of her own line of organizers. "There are just so many things that you need to do during this time of year."

So, how do you take care of it all and clear the decks before New Year's Day with a peaceful mind? You don't. Morgen stern said the key is trimming the fat and finding a balance that you're happy with.

Jean Chatzky is the author of the bestselling book "Pay It Down!"

Anti-stress to do list

Map it out. Forming your plan of attack in advance is always the best thing to do when approaching a high-stress situation. Get out a piece of paper and a pen (leave the computer out of this — it's way more satisfying to cross things off a list) and write down everything you need to get done between now and the holiday.

Don't worry about prioritizing just yet; instead, throw it all down there, no matter how small the task. Then, said time management expert Julie Morgenstern, put a realistic time estimate on the paper to reflect how long each item will take. After you've done that, it's time to add it all up. Literally. Get out a calculator, and start punching in the numbers until you have the total number of hours remaining until you can crumple up that list and recycle it.

Decide what is most important. Clearly, you're not going to be able to accomplish your entire list if it adds up to 200 hours. (Mine did. Bah, humbug.) So, Morgenstern suggested ironing out your priorities. What are three things that make the holiday season really special for you? Maybe you like to bake, decorate your house and spend time with your family, but you aren't so keen on shopping for gifts. Make those three things a priority, and cut down on shopping time by going online.

Delegate or delay. If your list includes things that aren't urgent, then by all means focus on them another time — like next year.

Even things that seem of-the-moment can occasionally be put off. Example: Holiday cards. Send New Year's cards, or Valentine's Day cards, or even random I-didn't-have-time-during-Christmas-but-still-wanted-to-send-my-love cards. If this doesn't appeal to you, or you cannot fathom the idea of no holiday cards, you might want to consider delegating the duty. There are companies that will send out hand-written cards for you to your specifications, or you could try swapping with a friend or neighbor: You'll bake an extra batch of cookies that she can give to her friends, if she'll write up holiday cards that you can give to yours.

Treat your house to a big cleanup. It may seem like just another thing to add to your already overflowing list, but giving your house a fresh polish can actually make you feel less stressed.
Morgenstern suggested cleaning room by room, starting with those that are going to be the most used — the living room, dining room, foyer, kitchen and bathroom — if you have family and friends coming to visit. That way, when someone calls from their car and asks if it's okay to pop by, you won't spiral into a panic at the mere thought.

Make a donation. "I think the holidays are a great excuse to do a big purge through your house," Morgenstern advised.
Neglected stuff in your closet and your children's closets are a great way to help others during a season that is supposed to be based on giving. Go through each closet, and get together a couple of boxes to give to a clothing drive or local shelter. Explain to your children that they have to get rid of a few toys they don't play with anymore to make room for the new ones they are going to get.

Know that it's okay to turn down an invitation. You can't go to every party, dinner and work event. So don't. Pick and choose the ones that mean the most to you and attend those. Don't feel bad about saying you aren't going to be able to make it to the others — go ahead and pull a reason off your list.

Bitch doesn't win the Battle of the Blondes

For once on a reality show the nice girl finished first!
I've admitted before that I watch reality shows and I've been hooked on America's Next Top Model since Cycle 2.
So tonight I suffered through another hour (personally, the cat fights got old in Cycle 2), I like watching the whole process of the photos and what exactly they WANT from the contestants. All the other crap is just Jerry Springer BS to me.

During the finale I thought for sure my favorite's goose was cooked. Her Covergirl photo was gorgeous but when the race is tight, they've always picked the girl who won the runway.
I gave in. When Tyra said "Americas Next Top Model Is....." I finished the sentence with "Melrose" and WAIT!
There was Caridee's picture on the screen!
You would've thought the Bills had won the Super Bowl! (well, I guess I wasn't THAT loud) But I did cheer, and clap and say "OH MY GOD!!" at least 10 times.
I still can't believe it!
Yea, Caridee did bitch alot about Melrose. She was a drama queen like the rest but something about her I still liked. Somewhat of a Vendela quality I guess. That sweetness with a bit of crazy underneath.
To me Melrose was just an annoying perfectionist car salesman.
Hell, she'll get modeling gigs anyway but at least I won't have to see her pathetic mug during the theme song next season or hear her say "This is my life as a Cover Girl"

WAY TO GO CARIDEE!!!

"Oh no. I'M SPEAKING IN RHYME!"

It is that time of year to be holly and jolly but sometimes it's easier to be a Grinch. Or a Scrooge.
Nahhhh!

So last year I listed my favorite Christmas songs, so this year I decided to be a LITTLE harder on myself and list my favorite Christmas movies/specials.

And yes, I’m SAYING Christmas. Not holidays, or any of that other PC crap. CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS!
If you don’t like it….sue me. Oh wait, you can’t…it’s a blog! BAHAHAHAHA!

So here they are:

13 - Santa Claus is Coming to Town: Burgermeister Meisterburger made this special funny. And the Winter Warlock. "Put one foot infront of the other...."

12 - Frosty the Snowman “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” Another special where the villain in it makes it funny. That and the rabbit. “Busy, busy, busy!”

11 - Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas: An amazing muppet story told by Jim Henson and his band of incredibly talented puppeteers. That I know of it was only aired on HBO but has recently been released to DVD. A great story of the true meaning of Christmas; family, friends and music! and of course, the Christmas branch!

10 - The Snow Queen: Not as well known as the others but the original version from the 60’s is pretty amazing. Of what I read one of the animators eventually went to Disney. (look at the Queen herself and you’ll see the familiar work) I remember the intro by Art Linkletter very well. “1 snowflake, 2…”

9 - The Santa Clause: One of the best of the more recent Christmas films. Yeah, it’s got the Disney corniness but you can’t beat the weight gain and the hair growth!

8 - A Year Without a Santa Claus: Heat Miser and Snow Miser make this more memorable "I'm Mr. Green Christmas, I'm Mr. Sun.."

7 - How the Grinch stole Christmas (animated): I remember drawing The Grinch in kindergarten and getting a star for it. You can’t beat Boris Karloff’s voice. And Max, poor sweet Max.

6 - White Christmas: I hadn’t seen this movie until a few years back but it made me love Danny Kaye even more and see what a dork Bing Crosby was. (okay, so he was playing a character..but still!) Some of the best corny music too, especially “Snow” and “Sisters”. I will admit that when the General makes his entrance in the final scene I always cry like a baby!

5 – Scrooge: A Christmas Eve tradition at my sisters house. The lesser known musical version of the Dickens story.

4 - Charlie Brown Christmas: TV Land named this the #1 Christmas special of all time. Because they're all so hard to rank I still had to put it in my top 5. You have to love Linus receiting (and in this PC day and age I am SO glad that they haven't cut that part out), Snoopy decorating his house and Charlie Brown's choice in trees! Not to mention Vince Giraldi's soundtrack, just amazing.

3 - It’s a Wonderful Life: People who don’t like this movie concern me. They don’t need heart transplants, they need heart installations! Granted, Jimmy Stewart is totally adorable in my eyes. If you’re a fan of this movie, make sure you rent SNL’s Christmas Special and watch their version of the “lost ending”.

2 - How the Grinch stole Christmas (the live action version): Next to Liar, Liar, this is my favorite Jim Carey movie. It has some of the greatest lines, I still recite every holiday season. "Blast this Christmas music. It's joyful and triumphant." "The nerve of those Whos. Inviting me down there - and on such short notice. Even if I wanted to go my schedule wouldn't allow it. Four o'clock, wallow in self pity; 4:30, stare into the abyss; 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one. 5:30, jazzercize. 6:30, dinner with me. I can't cancel that again. 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing; I'm booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9 I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness. But what would I wear?"

1 - Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer: This must have been one of the first Christmas specials I watched when I was young, actually it was released the year I was born. Rudolph holds a special place in my heart along with Hermey, King Moonracer, Sam the Snowman and Yukon Cornelius. “Didn’t I ever tell you about Bumbles? Bumbles Bounce!”

I'll get you my pretty!!

After sitting up until almost midnight the other night, I realized that there was a VERY important topic that I have yet to discuss on my blog.
This subject is something that has affected and amused me my WHOLE life.
The Wizard of Oz.

I admit, if there’s a movie I like I’ll watch it over and over again.
It amazes me that many people don’t understand that concept. They watch a movie once, love it and move on.
(shaking head)
They just don’t it.
Every time you watch a movie, you notice something new.
Even now when I watch Oz, I’ll see something that I haven’t seen before. I’ll focus in on a different character and just watch how they move through a scene. Their corny expressions, their body language or, in the case of last night, I was trying to figure out what was pinned to Ms. Gulch’s dress on the right side of her chest. Or what shoes was she wearing, how was her hair done? Do that next time it comes on, it’ll keep you intrigued.

My cousin Sharon had an album of the movie and I remember playing THAT over and over again. This was before they started showing it more than once a year on TV.
I remember her brother David had written ‘I Love you” in crayon next to Dorothy’s picture. Obviously, she was his first crush.
From that album I learned to recite the whole movie. A dubious distinction I know. It will get me no where but it’s a fact and I’d be willing to prove it to anyone, anywhere, anyhow.

There are so many things about that movie that I love. I’m almost envious of Dorothy sometimes. I want to dance with the Scarecrow, hang out with the Munchkins and have a work day like the people in Oz did. (“We get up at noon and go to work at 1. Take an hour for lunch and then at 2 we’re done..jolly good fun!”)
I have some questions as well; I wonder why The Wizard used the same colored smoke as The Witch did when she exited a scene on her broom? Why does the Scarecrow knock on the door to see if that was the room Dorothy was locked in? Where were all the flying monkeys during the chase scene in the castle? Were the Winkies wearing masks or were they related to the witch what with those pointed noises and green skin? If the witch was allergic to water, why was there ANY laying around the castle? Did Glinda and the Munchkins think Dorothy was ugly? (‘cause Glinda said that only bad witches are ugly and she actually ASKED Dorothy if she was a good witch or a bad witch)

I have Oz “stuff” all over my apartment. A beautiful pencil sketch that my niece bought me for Christmas last year. (She was an Oz freak too….when she was little) A few of the Shelia’s figurines (basically Oz characters or scenes painted on carved pieces of wood), a wicked witch of the east door blocker complete with ruby slippers and striped socks to keep out drafts, a Making of Oz book, a Oz Cookbook, Oz Monopoly, Oz trivia game, a Wicked Witch bobble head and this beautiful half Oz/half Kansas music statue by the San Fransico Music Box Company that my Mom gave me for Christmas a couple years ago. One side is black and white and the other is color complete with Dorothy and Toto on both sides.

The cutest Oz reference I have is how my niece Nikki wanted to name her baby sister Emily because she wanted her kids to have an Aunt Em. This coming from the mouth a 3 year old!

So every time this movie comes on all I can think is "Oh joy...rapture!!"
Now if they'd only re-release it to the theatres; wouldn't that be somethin?

Get real...

As I've stated in earlier posts, I am a reality TV fan. I've watched all of them at some point; Survivor, Big Brother, America's Next Top Model...you name it.

The one that amuses me the most is definitely The Bachelor. It's the reality TV train wreck that you can't help but watch.
There's always the virgin, the drama queen, the girl who you don't even notice or remember her name who makes it to the final 3 and you think...what's her name again? The chick who has to be the center of attention, the girl who seems semi-normal at first who then turns into a complete nut-job, the girl who falls in love with the guy the VERY first night who doesn't get a rose the very first night and cries.

The thing about this show is,..okay; it's a reality show but it's not REALITY. If it were a TRUE reality show the dates wouldn't be in exotic locales. They wouldn't be on yachts in the middle of the mediterranian. It would be something like this; he's an hour late because his car broke down and he couldn't get a signal on his cell phone.
You go to the movies and a bunch of drunks keep kicking your seat or making smooching noises when he puts his arm around you.
You get a sick stomach during dinner and have to suck it up so you don't ruin the whole evening; you just pray to GOD he doesn't want to come inside when he brings you home.
You go to a hockey game and some fat ass sitting near you decidies to verbally accost the players the whole time.

And instead of a Rose, you get either his cell phone number, his e-mail address, his business card or, if he doesn't like you, he just says "give me your number and I'll call you tomorrow".

Now THAT'S reality dating! He could even pretend his a prince...kind of like the guy on the show now! An Italian prince whose never been to his homeland and can barely speak a word of the language??? I'm more Italian than that ugly bastard! (ask me how I REALLY feel)
I'm surprised that any woman would want to be on this show now anyway. Other than to get their 15 minutes of fame seeing as how of all the "relationships" haven't made it past week 2. I think they're 2 for 10.
Let's call the show what it really is. Dudes on Fantasy Island...pick a ho'.

Dreams are a wish your heart makes...

Is it true dreams actually mean something?
My dreams are usually just weird little things or semi-nightmares about me trying to escape from somewhere or someone.

I never had dreams about my boyfriends or even when they became ex-boyfriends. I dream about family, my dreams include my friends.

So what is up with me dreaming about Gale Harold alot lately?
Is he in trouble?
Is he sending telepathic signals out into space and for SOME reason they're making it down to MY brain?

If these dreams mean anything, someone please let me know.
Then maybe you can also explain what my dream of having hermit crabs attached to my toes meant as well!

Gale, Gale, Gale. WHY are you in my subconcious? Last night my dream was about me buying a house. I was somehow "in" it already but the people who owned it were still living there as well. With cats, I remember lots of cats. Then someone came by to inspect or access the house and, you guessed it. It was Gale. LOL.
Here the guy is rehearsing his part in the revival of Suddenly, Last Summer off Broadway and somehow he turns into a man who does house inspections.
Hey, maybe that's it! He's in the same state as me at this very moment. My brain is feeling his energy.
Well, at least he's off that shitty excuse for a FOX TV show!
Okay Gale...as Lori in Oklahoma sang "Out of my dreams and into your arms I long to fly!"

R.I.P Cory Lidle

I have to be honest; yesterday I was going to post a blog about the end of the Yankees season.
How disappointing it was to finish the season so well, only to tank in the first round.

Then todays tragedy...puts it all in perspective doesn't it?
Shit, it's only a game.
Granted, I wasn't devestated by the loss. Actually, I wasn't even surprised.
But what's important?

The thing we forget is that these guys are people. Not superhumans
Not robots
They're dads, husbands, sons and brothers.

So screw the fact that ARod had a bad series
That Mussina didn't have his usual blue-collar effort
Fuck the whole "Fire Joe Torre" thing

It's a game folks
and it lost one of it's boys today...

Girlfriend

As those who are close to me know, I haven't taken a dive into the dating pool in quite a while.
I have my reasons and they are many and easy to explain. At least for me.
Most females probably think I'm nuts. Which is fine, because I am. Nuts and sane all in the same half-second.
To me, life is complicated enough. You add a man into the mix and things only get crazier.
It's just too much work and I've never been known to be much of a hard worker!
Not to mention after watching what my friends have been through lately.....that would make ANYone steer clear of getting involved with someone.
Unless that someone is Gale Harold. For him I could deal with a TON of BS. (but that's another story...see http://auntsnoozy.blogspot.com/2006/04/i-need-me-some-gale-harold.html)

Recently a very close friend of mine had a relationship come to an end. It was sad but considering everything she's stressed about and tolerated the last five months or so....it was time to throw the bottom feeder back into the pond. Wow she put up with alot,..and put herself THROUGH alot.
Then yesterday I was channel surfing when a song I used to LOVE in the 80's came on and I just felt like it summed up everything I was thinking when it came to her and what she's going through...

You can watch part of the video here: (dig those funky 80's outfits and hairdo's)

To believe or not to believe
that is the question
It just takes a street degree.
You've lied your last lie and I've cried my last cry
I'm out the door babe
there's other fish in the sea!

Girl, make a list
go out and find yourself a new plaything
Girl, you needn't trip
'cause he's not worth the misery and pain.

Just remember how he would tell you lies
And then pretend that ev'rything is so sweet.
Why should you sacrifice if you're not satisfied
He's just a canine running 'round in heat!

Girlfriend, how could you let him treat you so bad?
Girlfriend, you know you were the best he ever had!
Girlfriend, how could you let him treat you so bad?
Girlfriend, you know you were the best he ever had!

Girl, you must resist
don't let him squirm his way into your heart
no
Girl, I must insist
you've got to stop the fool before he starts.

Just remember how he was so untrue
and all the tacky things he did to you
No need to signify, 'cause he's not worth your time
You need to find someone that's true to you!

Girlfriend, how could you let him treat you so bad?
Girlfriend, you know you were the best he ever had!

To believe or not to believe

HeyDele! Sing!

You’ve lied

RockStar SuperSkunk

We interrupt our regularly scheduled blog entry to bring you this update.....

WTF?!?!?
CURSE YOU ROCKSTAR SCUM!

That's two years in a row that this show has ended with them picking a jackass to front the band. Must be a pre-req.
"Hi, okay...we're looking for a posing, preening, egotistical growling idiot to "sing" for us."
"No...not you attractive man from over seas. No, not you talented woman with the amazing vocal quality. We want that over-made-up dude so we can get Maybelline to sponsor our tour."

How could you DO this to me Jason?!?!
INXS I understand. No one will EVER replace Michael Hutchence so go with the sob-story and pick the ex-homeless dude who still had the cash to legally change his last name. So them I could ignore.
Personally...I don't think Tommy Lee wanted to compete for the chicks and he wouldn't stand a CHANCE next to Toby Rand. Unless they were having a longest shlong contest.

So I gave it a chance and listened to Skunkboy perform two of SuperNova songs.(or whatever they're going to call themselves now that the lawsuit has been settled and they can't legally use that name) I gave Skunky a chance to win me over. I put down the remote and listened...and watched. I couldn't understand a fucking word he said. His voice is shit.
I'm sorry Jason...I can't listen to that. I can't watch that. He's pathetic. He's freakin terrible! You picked him just because he was voted in by the largest country in north america?? Nice logic.

I hope you bail on that gig Jason and go back to the Chophouse and Voivod or EchoBrain or whatever other project you have. Your musical reputation hangs in the balance...RUN!!!
