It's been a long time......

I know it’s been a while, but I’ve been busy. Ok, not really but I couldn’t’ think of anything funny to say. Not that I’ve been funny before.

1. Snooki from Jersey Shore gets a lot of money to walk on a red carpet. Why not use that money for cancer research?
2. RIP DJ Law of 103 jamz in Norfolk VA
3. I may go as Lady Gaga for Halloween just so I can wear a meat dress.  Or Flavor Flav & wear a grandfather clock.
4. I’ve lost almost 20 pounds in a few months. Why do my pants still feel tight? I guess that’s why I had so many with pants with popped off buttons. My doctor told me he was proud of me. He should be since he told me to lose the weight in the first place.  He was right.
5. I love Sirius radio. So many different choices. 70s, 80s, 90s, comedy, sports, reggae, kids, hip hop, pop, jazz, rock, wow!
6. Why couldn’t I be an American Idol judge? I know when someone can’t sing…I hear myself all the time.
7. Steelers, 2-0 with the 5th string quarterback! They could even win with me…OK I went too far…
8. So many new TV shows, too bad I probably won’t watch any of them…..
9. I dislike the BCS
10. Beat Cancer
11. I went to see Public Enemy in concert for the first time in over 20 years. They were still as good as ever
12. I’m going to do my first running event in over two years this Thanksgiving. I’m going to do a 5k and then eat a whole turkey….or two.
13. I can beat ANYONE on a bike in spin class. My legs are flying. Bring it Granny!!!!  On a real bike, maybe not.

Thanks for reading and hopefully I can write more often. I’m hungry now, this eating 6 meals a day, but eating less is hard. Who knew that apples tasted good? Not ME!!!

I should really be ashamed of myself but I love the chorus to this song. And I do the dance as well.

That thang is a beast....

1. We went to the beach last week. The sand was sooooo hot…I think I got some 2nd degree burns on my feet. Now I know why I don’t go to the beach. I really don’t need a tan.

2. Why do people eat crabs? It’s a whole lot of work for a whole little bit of meat.

3. The beach wheelchair was humongous and then I had to push it across a dune with Amaya in it. It was not fun at all. People were chuckling at me instead of helping….my karma stinks. It was pretty funny though.

4. I will be so glad when LeBron finds a team……

5. I will be so glad when the run on reality shows ends…

a. Toddlers and tiaras – really. Are you serious? Come on now….You can’t find anything else for your kids to do…ok Kai sachet down the runway son…lets go!

b. The cake shows are cool, but there are way too many of them.  Challenges, Ace of Cakes, Cake Boss, Cake - o - rama, (that last one isn't real)

c. Basketball wives….some aren’t even really wives…

d. Bait Car…..If a car is wide open, there must be a problem…my favorite was the guy who thought it was a movie…"Look at all the cameras.  What's going on?  Is this a movie?"  or the guy that started to cry.  That would be me. 

e. All the talent shows….If you aren’t really talented…..don’t go on the show….people will laugh at you, but not me….I swear I won't laugh at you....at least not to your face...

f. Drunken or not drunken 20somethings shows (Hills/Real World/Baldwin Hills)….that stopped being fun after Rosie went nuts in Hawaii on the Real World that year….she was out there…

g. Kardashians/Ray J. & Brandy/That Hank guy and his wife/Paris Hilton ….. Bring back Flavor and I’ll be watching….

h. Tiny and Toya....not sure what to say....
6. Jeff Goldblum on Law and Order seems really weird….he was The Fly…

7. I didn’t watch the BET awards….they are not very good anymore….I will watch it when it comes on 3 weeks from now to see Prince…

8. Classic .....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_PDns23RWY

9. Triple Play of bad Eddie Murphy movies: Pluto Nash, Meet Dave, Holy Man

5. RIP Rue McClanahan – Golden Girls was and is hilarious. RIP Gary Coleman – Whatchu talkin bout Willis? RIP Dennis Hopper – Hoosiers!!! Run the picket fence!!!
6. Is it bad that I like to listen to Blue Collar Radio? Does that make me a redneck? Like Uncle Ruckus on Boondocks? I think Larry the Cable Guy is very funny! Maybe I need to change my name to Billy Bob Ray?

Cheesiness...

It’s been a long time….sorry for that to my 2 fans….I’m going to talk about bad movies and good movies, but mostly bad movies. Here is a list of some of the worse:
Battlefield Earth – I can’t bring myself to watch this again to see if it was really that bad.  Come on Travolta!!!  The second Saturday Night Fever wasn't enough!!  And to think I had a Vinny Barbarino doll growing up!  Oops, I mean action figure, not doll. 
Waterworld/The Postman – Field of Dreams, Mr. Brooks, and Dances with Wolves cannot help Costner get over these 2 horribly terrible flicks. I can watch the same movie over and over. But not these two. What was he thinking when he made these movies?  That money could have been used for a good cause.  Like toturing the person who wrote the scripts. 
Bad Lieutenant 2 – Nicholas Cage should give any money that he made back for this terrible thing. I can’t get my 30 minutes back. 
Girl 6 – So bad that I haven’t even seen it…..and I like Spike Lee. 
Rocky (5 and up) – They were reaching with Mr. T. and Dolph Lundgren for sure, but at least they were watchable. Sly really needed money? Go on Dancing with the Stars or something.
Friday the 13th (4 and up), Halloween (3 and up), Nightmare on Elm Street (2 and up), Leprechaun (2 and up), Childs Play (2 and up) Hellraiser (2 and up) - All of these movies have something in common…they had pretty good first movies. Then as they went on they became worse. And pretty dumb. Leprechaun in the hood has to be one of the cheesiest movies ever made. Not sure why I watched it.  Chucky followed the little boy to military school?  Jason & Michael Myers keep coming back?  The first hellraiser scared me...after that pure junk. 
Epic Movie/Date Movie/Disaster Movie – After 15 minutes I was wondering why I was watching these movies. Just because I heard they were funny. Maybe in parts, but not all the way through the 15 minutes I saw. I like funny/dumb movie franchises, i.e. Naked Gun, Airplane, Hot Shots, Police Academy, and others. They were funny and dumb at the same time. National Lampoons Gold Diggers is just plain stupid.
Transmorphers – Wow. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0960835/ It’s not bad enough that the acting is worst than I’ve ever seen, but the graphics are despicable. I got caught up in the fact that it was sooooo bad. I couldn’t take my eyes off it…It was absolutely horrible. I may watch it again just to see if it was really that bad.  There are two of these...Bruce Boxleitner is in the second one. 
Breakin’/Breakin 2- Back when these movies came out in the ‘80s they were the greatest thing that I ever saw. Now that I watch them...boy they were bad. The acting was subpar, but the dancing is still awesome. Van Damme is in the intro. The Kelly girl was terrible dancing and acting. Go Boogaloo Shrimp!!!  I'll have more later.

bOREdom Is SETting In...

2. How can the Steelers win the Super Bowl one year and not make the playoffs the next?  Someone, please explain this to me.  At least the Cowgirls lost!

4. Why am I singing that song in public?  Help, me please.

5. Why is my 7 year old enjoying Lady Gaga's music? It's not my fault. I had no idea who she was until recently. I'm old I guess. She is watching the Paparazzi video for the 100th time. At least.

6. Why do doctors cost so much? Amaya's benefits papers have been coming in, and 30 minutes of work costs $500 or more for an anesthesiologist?  That's a lot of money for 30 minutes.  That's $1000 an hour!  Now that's a paycheck!

7. Why do I listen to so much music from the 80s and 90s?

8. Why did it take so long for people to care about Haiti? It’s not like they just started being poor. I guess if they had oil or diamonds people would have been there sooner.

9. Now my daughter is watching the “Bad Romance” video. Who was the jerk that created ON Demand? Really, come on now. How many times do I have to listen to that song!

10. Why do people think women’s basketball is not exciting? No they don’t dunk, but it is a lot of fun.  The UCONN women could come close to beating the New Jersey Nets!

11. How long before UVA finds out that they aren’t that good in hoops? Or before they find out that they are really good this season?

12. Why is the new Staples low price commercial so annoying?

13. When will they find the cure to cancer?

13.5. Are you doing whatever you can to help find the cure to cancer?

14. What has happened to the NBA? I know they are the best basketball players in the world, but I just don’t enjoy it as much anymore.

15. When will the economy turn around? And please republicans don’t say when Obama leaves. This isn’t his entire fault. And believe me, I’m not a democrat or a republican.

16. Does anyone really care that Mystikal is out of jail? Didn’t think so.

17. How long before people forget about Haiti again?

18. Why did someone allow a person to make a song called the “stanky leg?” Why?

19. How come concerts cost so much? Yes, I would love to go see Jay Z in concert. But not for 50 dollars! That’s 2 packs of diapers!

20. How come it costs $20 dollars to go to the movies?

21. Why was the Princess and the Frog kind of scary? Not a bad movie, but it was creepy.

21.5 What took Disney so long to make a movie with an African-American girl as the lead? They had a man in the White House before Disney put one in a movie. And I love Disney.

22. Why did it take me so long to write another blog? Not sure. Busy I guess. Amaya’s 30 days of radiation, holidays, work, and all kinds of other stuff.

23. When did movies get so bad? There are some really horrible movies being made. Next week, Saw 35 starring Rodney Allen Rippey and Michael from Good Times.

24. Why doesn’t Jon B get any love? He’s just as good as R. Kelly. Yes, I said, and I mean it too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5pD4nBabMk You can’t tell me this song isn’t great.

25. Why do I keep doing this? 

26. Tiger Woods news: Please, no more. It is enough. Thank you, that’s all.


27. I love Pandora Radio. It’s awesome except for the annoying ads everyone once in a while. You can listen to virtually anything. I’m listening to Enya right now. Yes, I said Enya. She rocks!

28. Is Avatar really that cool? Or are people just saying it’s cool so the director can make some of his money back? Hopefully, he gives some of that to cancer research. That would be nice.

29. Please, pray for Ian http://www.caringbridge.org/ianlarmore and his family http://www.caringbridge.org/staceylarmore. They are good people.

30. The HRA vs. NSA girls basketball game was yesterday. The back of the HRA shirts said “We Heart Amaya.” It had an actual heart not the word. I wanted to cry when I first saw them. I didn’t since I was at work. I try not to cry in front of middle schoolers. That would not turn out well. My friend Laura and her family, Loopy, Ty, and Ellie are amazing. The basketball team is amazing as well.

31. John Edwards’s news: Please, no more. It is enough. Thank you, that’s all.

32. My oldest daughter has a Jeffre someone CD. He looks really scary. That’s why I don’t go into Hot Topic. I’m afraid I’ll come out with a nose ring or something.

33. I went a whole week without eating any sweets. NO cookies, cakes, candy or ice cream.

34. MTV is horrible now. The Real World stopped being good after the one in Hawaii with Ruthie.

35. New favorite show: Criminal Minds

36. New favorite old album: A Tribe Called Quest “Midnight Marauders”

37. New favorite old movie: ConAir

38. Jan. 21st is my birthday. I’m 40. I didn’t think I would be where I am at 40, but that’s A GREAT THING. I will not complain. I have great family and friends so whining will not occur.
