This is correct on so many levels....

Britain's Got Talent

Check out this YouTube clip. You will be shocked. I will leave it at that.

Just copy and paste. If that doesn't work, just go to YouTube and search Susan Boyle.

MST3K

For any of you who don't know of MST3K (Mystery Science Theatre 3000), here is a sample of what made this show so damn funny!!! Generally they showed old "B" movies but this one was so funny I had to post it. I miss this show. The sarcasm and one-liners are classic.

Happy Birthday Joe and Adam

Happy Birthday to Joe - the most awesome kid in the world!

I was planning on posting some of my favorite pictures of Joe over the years to go along with this post.  Brian even taught me how to scan them into the computer.  Sadly, I can't figure out how to get them HERE.  So, I will go ahead with my birthday post and when Brian comes home, I will add more pictures.  

Joe is 12 today.  12!!!  That is crazy to me.  The time has gone by too fast.  When I look at him, I still see the little boy who ran around the house with his cape on all the time.  I'm pushing him on the swings, while he looks back to make sure his cape is flying in the wind.  I'm not ready for him to be 12. 

He, however is more than ready to be 12.  He's interested in music, hangin' out with friends, and girls.  It's all too scary for me.  

Joe is such an awesome kid.  I thoroughly enjoy being his mother.  Joe is sensitive and kind.  He is creative, talented and funny.  He has the best laugh in the world, and uses it a lot.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE.  I LOVE YOU!

As most of you know, today also happens to be Adam's birthday too.  I wanted to wish Adam a happy birthday.

Adam is going to be a famous author some day.  He is incredibly talented.  You should all go check out his work in progress.  I don't know how to set up a link (technically challenged, remember?), so I'll post his blog address here:  tarterrior.blogspot.com.  Check it out and you will see what I mean about him being a literary genius.  Also, leave him a comment and wish him a happy birthday.

When he's super famous, I'll be able to say that I knew him way back when.  He's the greatest.  Happy Birthday Adam.

The Life of Brian

Tomorrow morning I GET to have one of these installed into my jaw.  It's just another day in the life of me.  Awhile ago, (jokingly) I started saying that in a few years I will be completely rebuilt, but as time goes on and the more procedures that I have to go through, it's starting to appear more and more likely that I wasn't far off.  This procedure is a titanium post inserted into a bone graft that I had done 4 months ago.  This will serve as a host for a crown, which I will have to have done in another 4 months.  Anyway, just stay away from me because IF I am at all contagious, it is in your best interest to avoid me.  I call it the "Brian Effect".

Wish me Luck!!!

Time for a Change?

So, as many of you can tell, I have been slacking when it comes to my blog. I've just had no reason to blog and when I try to come up with ideas, all I can think of are all of the things that piss me off or to rehash things Kim posts on her blog. You know how much I love people and all the wonderful things they do and say, right?! Well, in an effort to give myself a new perspective and a new outlook on life (yeah, like that's going to happen!) I decided to start with my actual blog. I figure if I change how it looks then maybe some new ideas will come to mind. If not, you will all be stuck with my Kermudgin mentality. Hey, if we are all walking around with stupid smiles on our faces with a "Golly Wally" outlook on life, then what fun would that be? Cheers!

P.S.--if anyone has a hot topic that might make an "interesting" post, go ahead and let me know. I might just have an interesting take. I didn't say it would be a good take, only interesting.

James

One of my favorite bands is James, only I somehow forgot it. I'm sure that many of you out there love a band but for some reason they just seem to fly under your radar so to speak and when you hear them again, you realize just how good they are. Anyway, I was looking for some music for Kim for Christmas and came across James and low and behold, they have a new album out, "Hey Ma". So I decided to buy it, of course. Well, I just now put it on my iTunes and my new iPod (thanks Kim!!) and i've listened to it for 20 minutes and I LOVE IT!! His voice is a little Killers (although James has been around MUCH longer) but unique all his own. Here is a video of one of their new songs, "Waterfall". ENJOY!!
