Aretha Franklin?

Who chose her? She has no lung capacity and so singing was a challenge to her. Yikes! The poem was something better read and not heard. While the speech was a bit long, there were notable moments and clear intentions. Overall, not bad.

I thought that George W. Bush, Sr. should have been encouraged to sit for he obviously was hurting, poor man.

It was also a shame they invited the former Vice Presidents. Al Gore, Dan Quayle, you could have opted out and stayed home, right?

simplified critique

Disaster Movie, lots of dumb, not enough funny. I guess the director didn't know when a scene went on too long. That was the bulk of it. twelve seconds would be fine, not twelve minutes. Imagine, if you will, Austin Powers peeing scene lasting longer than it did, twice as long. Would be it still be funny?

Mirrors, unoriginal. It had many borrowed ideas, a few borrowed scenes, stages, etc. You can't call it a new idea in sandwiches if this one is sandwich number one but now with salt and pepper.

Requested

I have been requested to do something. . .
My dear, sweet, love of my life has requested that I go back to school, get my credits to renew my license and teach again. "Just when I thought I was out ... they pull me back in again." My sister also thinks it's a good idea.

MR before had suggested that I do it. I suppose that if all the signs point in a direction, then maybe I ought to go in that direction. I don't think I will be teaching at FWCS, but I hope to wipe out the classes in Summer and teach in Fall somewhere.

May God have mercy on my soul.

in bed with the enemy?

Draw your own conclusions here.
Iran controls oil, is manufacturing nuclear weapons . . .
here, watch Iran's president "who likes soccer" and his charismatic speeches. WTF?
Hey, either choose to dislike the evil man or like him -- not both.

What's the weather?

Unless you want frostbite, don't travel outside.
-13 F, feels like (something starting with "f") freezing. The sad thing is ... February is generally colder. Ouch!

Did they miss any?

today's weather ... ouch!

It bites your butt!
I was outside for only a few minutes and my face, ears, nose hurt. Skip all that!

Face cut is the deepest

I got my hair cut and while there the beautician decided to trim up my eyebrows. That's a wonderful service. I got a surprise when I found that I have now 3 eyebrows. She trimmed a bit much and I have what looks like 3 eyebrows. My eyebrows will eventually grow to be only two.

exit interview

I got a call today for an exit interview ... that was 6 weeks after my job ended. Where's the fire? I imagined in another way, a man ready to fire people and Dr. Evil letting me know that it is an "exit interview"

another cartoon showing I'm old

If you know it ... you're old too.

Mormon?

Did they ever read this trash?
"And it came to pass" is used nearly as often as, "the".

Ramblings of a drunk and a boatload of people bought it.

Congratulations!

The one, the original . . .

simple entries

Addiction is easy? Job while getting treatment, 'child care' or 'cleaning and companionship'.

It's not what you think!

Let it up and take a puff . . . pass it to me now!

It was an inflatable hammer toy. When I later looked at it, well ... I thought I looked I was hearing the bong, bong, bong of bells.

Scariest book for teen girls

In the new Baby-Sitter's Club book, one girl re-examines McDonald's for employment. She meets the Dugger family with 19 kids. That $6 an hour job doesn't look so fun or neat. Betti begins twitching and her eye develops a tic, then she spends much of the day texting, "All work and no play makes Betti a dull girl."

only one

There is but one of her
Love

Thankfully she doesn't mind me sometimes wearing my OMG (G is for 'golly') jeans which appears to show my job as a denim destroyer. If there is a muddy, thorn-covered path, I will take it.

If there is an obstacle, I will find a way.
She inspires me and recently reminded me of what I should be doing,
what I was told I should do
that will take some thinking and hard work

Thank you my one true love Tawnya!
Our hearts are one, our lives are two, but eventually will be one.

Gagged, you're it

Dating site reminds me of Tone Loc:

"I thought I'd try my luck on the 'Love Connection'." "I asked the audience and you know they picked a winner."+

"Yikes. Yikes; Yikes! Hate your hair. Oh, let me guess ... you have a great personality."++

I'm not looking, but rather I got this because I accepted an invite to the social networking from my niece. Beware Romulans bearing gifts. If I were "in the market", Alishia would get my notice. She's local, you know ... 722 miles away.
