Too busy to Mambo!

So I’ll be doing that later in the week.

In fact, I’m even too busy to write anything else at the moment.

(It doesn’t mean I don’t love ya… so stop pouting.) :heart:

More again soon, kittens.

Good Lord. It never occurred to me that this might look suspicious to a police officer:

I had a good laugh about it with the cop who pulled me over. I told him the only thing I was was guilty of was consuming empty calories. Then I batted my eyelashes, thanked him for keeping our streets safe… and went on my merry way.

(I’m just glad I didn’t have to blow a breathalyzer test! Hahaha!)

Friday’s Feast!

April 27, 2007 | 8 Comments

Appetizer:
How fast can you type?

I can type 120 words per minute, but it’s all in my own language.

Soup:
What is your favorite online game?

I like to play “Spam the Comment Section” the best. It’s fun and you get to know some really crazy people!

Salad:
On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 as highest), how intelligent do you think you are?

I have an obscenely high IQ. (Now ask me if I use it all the time… because that is the true mark of intelligence.)

Main Course:
Name three of your best teachers from your school years.

Mr. Larry Flom — World Histories, West High School
Tom Jewell-Vitale – My first painting mentor, Loras College
Frje Echeverria – My second painting mentor, University of Northern Iowa

I feel absolutely blessed to have had all three of these men as instructors. Each one of them changed my life in positive, dramatic ways.

Dessert:
What are your plans for this upcoming weekend?

I’m not too sure; they are bit up in the air at the moment. Maybe I should hop a plane and join them there. Wheeeeeeeee!

Thursday’s tidbits.

April 26, 2007 | 1 Comment

Gah. The weather is cold and damp and grey. It’s been this way for the past three days and I think it needs to knock it off right now.

Looking out the window is like staring at a concrete wall.

How about a little sunshine? Hop to it, Mr. Almighty. Chop, chop!

(I can talk to him that way because I’m his favorite. Nyah.)

**********

In this week’s “Typical Shit” News…

At least one (and possibly two) of Marsha Da Ho’s kids are in trouble with the law. The police were called earlier this week to investigate a problem near the grade school they attend. It was in the evening, well after school hours, and her son was involved with whatever nefarious activities were going on.

I wouldn’t put anything past that kid. Heck, I saw him huffing glue right outside our bedroom window 5 years ago – when he was only 8 years old!

On Tuesday, someone other than Marsha dropped off her two younger girls next door at Bumbling Bill’s & BlackCherry’s house – the boy and the oldest girl were conspicuously absent.

Must have been an interesting morning in Juvenile Court.

Allow me to make a prediction:

By the end of the summer, he’ll be living elsewhere. He’s getting too big, too strong and too volatile for any of the adults in his life to manage. And let’s face it, if they were capable of managing their own lives, he wouldn’t be such a mess anyway.

I can’t think of anything more to say about it right now except please pray for him and his sisters. And you might want to say a prayer for our society in general, because kids like this are everywhere these days.

I sense anarchy approaching critical mass.

**********

Speaking of a “critical mass” – did you hear about Rosie the Wonder Dyke leaving “The View”?

I think it’s a good thing. Because now she will go and start her own show again and everyone can watch her as she slowly self-destructs. All of the focus will be directly on her. There will no longer be the frivolous distractions of other more rational people, attempting to derail her whacked out tirades.

Of course, her new show will be popular for a few months – because, Hey! Let’s All Support Rosie! – but then it will become boring. In order to keep her audience, she will escalate her lunatic stunts and outrageous pontifications until she pisses off or embarrasses the wrong people and then BOOM.

Rosie will be done.

Why isn’t anyone confronting her about her bullshit right now? There are a few reasons.

She’s a lesbian. Nobody wants to look “anti-gay” when what they really are is “anti-idiot.”
She’s crazy. Nobody wants to tangle in the national spotlight with a crazy person — let alone a big, hefty lesbian one.
She’s making money for them right now. Nobody in show biz will ever kill their cash cow when she’s producing gallons of milk. Just wait ‘til the teats go dry, though…
She’s a spectacle. And even though most people won’t admit it, we all love a spectacle. We enjoy watching people rise to dangerous heights, then crash and burn. We’ll even stand nearby and warm our hands over their flames.

The first 3 reasons are true, but a bit tedious. They are about cowardice, pride, greed, etc. It’s the 4th reason that I find so fascinating. And I’ve seen (and experienced it) in many circumstances, in a variety of presentations throughout my life.

Why is there such a thrill in watching people push push push the envelope and then get beat back to humbleness?

It’s kind of fucked up when you think about it. But we ALL do it, so don’t be looking so smug over there, you.

I, for one, am going to enjoy having a ringside seat when Rosie hits the canvas and I’m not ashamed to say it. It’s going to be gooooood.

I might even make popcorn.
