Free Ice Cream and Other News For Your Weekend

Lets’s start with the most important announcement, shall we?  This Sunday is Sam’s birthday!  Whoo-hoo, birthday!  Birthday-birthday-birthday!!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAM!!!! 
Okay, enough of that. 
#2:
  I think this one’s pretty obvious.  You get to vote AND you get a free ice cream cone?   This is what I like to call a win-win situation.   Even though election day isn’t [...]

The First Presedential Infomercial

I know a lot of you, Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and Independents alike have been curious about Barack Obama’s 30minute commercial last night.  I for one, missed it, but here I am to make sure that you all don’t have to.  Part 4 was especially interesting to me after the Chrysler plant closing in Delaware.  Alright then, [...]

Oh Agave Nectar…

Oh Agave Nectar, how do I love thee?  Let me count the ways…
 
You don’t have to be stirred in like sugar because you’re a liquid already,
Like syrup and honey your pour is always steady.
There’re no dirty spoons to wash when I use your sweet juice,
‘Cause you mix right in – in science we call this [...]

Jumping Off A Bridge

If Siskel and Ebert told me to jump off a bridge, would I do it?  Probably not.  So why is it that I found myself last night cringing in a dark theater, watching a terrible movie just because of its reviews?  Granted, my favorite movie website (metacritic.com) had given it the highest of scores, but I usually mock people who live and [...]

The News

Sarah Palin’s in hot water over her misuse of power conviction.  The stock market has taken another nose dive – chaos and fear rule Wall Street.  The world as a whole is spiralling into a recession.  Americans are losing their jobs left and right as huge companies like Goldman Sachs and Chrysler makes cuts, in [...]

Dancing for Dummies

I don’t know how to say this so I’m just going to blurt it out…I take hip-hop dance classes.  Several times a week in fact.  And I’m not very good.  And I’m the only one who doesn’t have on a half-shirt that shows off her rock-hard abs.  I don’t even have rock-hard abs, half-shirt or whole-shirt.  In fact, [...]

Middle of the Road

Monday I was super compassionate.  Tuesday I was like an angry hornet.  Today I am middle of the road.  Republicans, Democrats – welcome to life as an Independent.  We don’t bash that crazy Muslim terrorist formally known as Barack Obama.  We don’t make fun of the idiocy that comes out of Caribou Barbie’s lipsticked mouth.  [...]

Peeves and Pouts

Yesterday my blog was very oom-shaka-laka so today we’re going to talk about what bugs us, shall we?  I was on the phone the other day with a friend of mine who told me about a birthday dinner she recently went to.  Now I love birthdays, but at the end of the night this birthday [...]

All the Things That I Don’t Know

It has come to my realization lately that I don’t know much.  I make mistakes like a child drawing in a coloring book.  I mean well, I say my prayers, I try to emulate those I respect… and yet my crayons keep drifting over the lines.  Why is it so easy to make a mistake, but [...]
