What's been up with me?

Greetings to the very few people who visit. Hope all is well wherever you are. Times are tough now and just want to remind that God is control of it all. It may be crazy right now, but be smart with your money and life will get better. Possibly in 2010. Just a few updates. The Smith's are well. Trying to sell the house, raise a 16 month old and work, work, work. HMMM. Since Feb. not much has happened. The NCAA tournament stunk. Baseball is in full swing and I am not playing spring softball for the 1st time in awhile. I am a bit outta shape. So, other than that and not liking anything Obama has done (no surprise), I just keep living and keep it real. Listen to Rush - he knows the truth!

Facebook Phenomenon

Well, I am hooked. It is amazing to find a social network like this. I have spoken to so many good old friends and I love it. I will give a shoutout to Facebook. So, if anyone who happens to read this. www.facebook.com and do it. No questions asked.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!

Dick Clark will appear tonight, somehow, someway. Ryan Seacrest - who in the hell..... Anyway. Enjoy the festivites if you have any. Don't drink and drive. I am going home and will stay there until the morning light. Hungover... maybe. So, here is to a good 2009. Not sure where America is headed, by the Senate races, not good. So, I will remain an optimist and hope for the best. When we are down and out, that is when Americans shine. Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. Thanks Casey Kasem (is he still alive?)

My daughter Audrey just turned 1. What a trip!

Peace and love in 2009

Vote Republican at your local voting centers.

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!

The story above says it all about my homeboy Plaxico. The downward spiral begins. The last part is probably the best: A letter from Allstate says Burress neglected to pay his premiums. How can someone that makes millions of dollars not pay premiums on a $140,000 Mercedes? Beats me. Merry Christmas Plaxico, no matter what you have done. Your career is basically over and you have made your money. Plaxico - try some income redistrubution - alot of us out here are struggling.

Merry Christmas to everyone! Enjoy the holidays and be safe and I might see you next year....

Pinky the Loveable Cat

This is about 4 years old. I found a Unknown Poet poem from 2004 and wanted to post it. Rumors have found that the poem was created due to this video that went out on e-mail at work.

Classic.

Pinky the Loveable Cat

Oh Pinky, what a good cat you are
Each time I think of you, I look at my scar

Here a scratch, there a scratch
There is not another cat that could match

The hell I go through when I pick you up
That scratch the other day almost made me throw up

Blood, blood everywhere you look
If I could, I would slam your paw in a book

Your love for me exceeds your hissing
My favorite shoes are covered in your pissing

You use my leg as your scratching post
You Pinky are the feline I love the most

Come here and give me a kiss
Pinky says: PPUUURRR and hiss, hiss hiss

What the F, Pinky the Loveable cat
Definitely, your claws and teeth are where its at

Go kill a mouse and not my groin
Or you do not get a piece of pork tenderloin

Oh, Pinky its just our friends down the street
Pinky is a cat, that can’t be beat

some TV scares me

As you all have seen. I watch a lot of TV / Movies. I probably shouldn't, but I do. So, I was flippin channels Friday night and TLC had a follow up on a documentary from back in 1995. It was about 2 girls who back then were 5 and did those kid pagents. Makeup and glittery dresses and singing and dancing. Creepy. When a child has a lot of makeup on and their mother is supporting it by making sure you do every move right, is creepy. Now these kids are like 17 or 18 and seeing where they are now. So, one girl quit pagents like 2 years later. The other girl is still living the dream and her mom and grandmother are with her every step of the way. It was kinda sad. I even think some win cars when they are young. What in the hell... I just think some parents (won't blame mothers or grandmothers entirely) are greedy and using their childs appearance for cash money. Anyway I was kinda creeped out by these girls.

Movies, Movies, Movies

The Box Office seems to be doing well from some reports. People love their entertainment. See, I am not the regular movie type. Box office hits and all (I do want to see The Dark Knight). Over the Thanksgiving Holiday I saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I have been waiting 20 years for this!!!!!!!!! (just joking). I would have been fine with the last one. Hollywood thinks the American public are stupid. I can understand people going to the movies to check it out. I would have only watched it for free. That is precisly what happened. A family member rented it on DVD. That's free to me. If it's free, it's for me. I know, be careful what I wish for.....
anyway, this movie.....sucked. It was the same old same old. Too many far fetched action scenes. Then (I don't want to give it away) aliens are in the story. Aliens? Yup, communists and aliens. To each their own.

I have seen a couple of good movies on cable. Adaptation with Nicolas Cage, strange but good flick and I working on finishing About Schmidt w/ Jack Nicholson.

So, Roger Ebert I am not.
Nor am I Betsy Pickle (she is the movie critic for the Knoxville paper)

Wonder how you get that job??????
