compliments of patrick10ghost (gamername)

I just love this video and the fact that my son showed it to me is weird!!!11!1!!!?!?!?!
Power tools anyone??
Wonko, I promise I will stop now, but you have to admit...
it has a slight hint of seduction

Teenagers can be useful...

I thought you guys might enjoy this one, courtesy of my son.

I understand...

For a friend...
This song came to mind when we hung up today. I wish I could understand your frustration and torment, but know that I will be there when you need me.

I'm a dreamer

Excuses...

Why do men always seem to find an excuse for things?
If you tell them they have to cook dinner, the immediate response is... ok, is hamburger helper alright?
If you tell them to fold the socks... ok, but don't expect the socks to match.
If you tell them to take out the trash... ok, but can I finish watching this first?
If you tell them anything they have an immediate rebuttal for it.
And why is it if you tell them more than once to do something it's called "nagging"?
This is again... why I stay single, I'd just rather do it my damn self!

Can't stay long...

Hold on to me love
You know I can't stay long
All I wanted to say was
I love you, and I'm not afraid, oh
Can you hear me
Can you feel me in your arms?

evanescence- my last breath

Touch...

Such a simple gesture... a touch
It can send a thousand thoughts through the mind.
Ecstasy, butterflies, nerves, shame, and wonder.
Do we intentionally touch someone to get a reaction?
Do we want them to have that lingering thought about us?
A simple touch can tell so much about what a person is feeling.
Holding a lover's hand, caressing the fingers, or the small of the neck, can send a person into ecstasy! What has happened to the art of seduction? You don't see it that often anymore...
do we care now more about what people think than what we feel?

Music

One of the greatest things we, as humans, have done is discover music!!
In the movie, "City of Angels" they ask the question to the people that have just passed on, what they will miss the most about being on earth...
I would absolutely miss music, I sure hope they have it in the after life! If they don't, then don't even bother coming to get me, I'll stay right here!

Laundry...

Why haven't we gotten to the point of having robots do the mundane chores of life?
The Jetson's had a maid! Why haven't we gotten there yet?
If there are two things that I utterly dislike in this world it's laundry and grading papers!
If I could find a man that would fold laundry (especially socks) and iron... he'd be in like Flin!
I will find everything else in the world to do except those two. I will mow the entire yard, weed whack it, replant the flower bed, do the neighbors yard before I tackle laundry or grading papers! I'll even clean the entire house from top to bottom, mop, dust, vacuum, toilets, showers, and do general maintenance around the house before laundry and papers!
Needless to say, the laundry has won, and it is done!! Until next week...

Christmas anticipation

Christmas is only four weeks away and excitement is already building.
Christmas is a time of magic and wonder!
I love this time of year because people watching is at its all time high. It's amazing to me how many people have forgotten the true meaning of the season. As you walk through the malls and stores stop and listen to people's conversations, you'll be amazed.
People get so stressed out about buying the right present for their kids, parents, friends, etc.. What ever happened to giving from the heart? Why do people not appreciate making something instead of buying something? The conversations are even better... "if you don't behave, I'll tell Santa not to bring you any presents!" Why do parents feel they need to threaten their children with this statement?? Talk about a kill joy!
I wonder how many people sit at home feeling sorry for themselves because they have no one?? Why don't these people go to their local red cross or non-profit organization and see how they can help deliver presents to kids or something?
Why do people get so selfish and depressed?? Is that what has become of this most magical time of year? People who sit at home and feel sorry for themselves?
I appreciate those families that actually laugh during this time and enjoy it for exactly what it was meant for, love, peace, and happiness!
oh yeah, by the way, we are skipping over Thanksgiving because Wal-Mart said so!!!!

So you think you know me...

So you think you know me...
is it because I remind you of something,
is it because you see something in me
that reminds you of you?

Can you tell me what I've seen
is it the same as what you've seen?
Are my colors more vivid than yours?
Are your memories the same as mine,

Were you there to hear the cries?
Were you there to feel the pain?
Did you see the joy that quickly went away?
Do you feel the chill of a heart that has been broken?

Can you tell me how you feel when you stand next to me?
Can you feel what I feel when you hold me,
Do you think you know me?
I don't think I know me...

What's wrong with being single?

Another funny chapter in my life... being single.
Why do my friends feel it is their mission to set me up with people?? Thinking they know what kind of man I would be interested in, hell I don't even know what kind of man I'm interested in! And it never fails that they pick the one guy that I would never have picked for myself! What are the odds?
You know I have found that being single has it's perks...
You don't have smell anyone else's farts but your own
You don't have to do anyone else's laundry but your own
You don't have to cook for anyone else except yourself
You don't have to listen to anyone else bitch about things except yourself
You can listen to whatever music you want
You can watch whatever tv you want
You can make a mess if you want...
You can have an orgasm whenever you want... so long as batteries and water pressure never ends!
You can go out whenever you want
You can hang out with whomever you want...

Being single allows you to sample a wide variety of the menu of life... but, if the man of my dreams ever finds me, well...

Honesty

Why is honesty so hard? I find it easier to lie than to tell the truth sometimes...why???
Have we as a society made it so acceptable to lie that it is now expected??? And why do people get upset when you give them your honest opinion about something? I have lost friendships over honesty. When people ask me a question or want my opinion I give it to them honestly, maybe sometimes a little too honest. But then why ask someone for their opinion or thought if you don't want the god's honest truth? My sister tells me all the time to be more tactful when telling people the truth... but why?? Why not just come out with it and be done with it??
The human psyche is really weird... we long for honesty, but don't want to hear it. We get upset when we find out a friend or family member wasn't honest about something and don't speak to them for a while. I know of a friend that held a grudge against a family member for three years because of honesty!!!! Where's the logic in that...
I always tell people when they ask for my opinion, "are you sure you want it?" because I will tell them the truth!
I think of it this way... if you ask me, I will tell you. What do I have to lose?? Nothing, I'm not sleeping with you, you aren't paying my bills... so what the flip does it matter if you get mad at me or not for telling you exactly what I think!
Why do people worry so much about hurting someone's feelings?? I see this all the time in public education... it's a disservice to a student to keep telling them they can go to college, when you know damn well that they won't even make it past the SAT or ACT!!! We don't tell them the truth... find a job that you like and get good at it!
I have always been fascinated by watching people. I think it is interesting how we gather together, greet each other with hugs and kisses, and then start tearing each other apart.
Girls are the worst!! If a guy takes a girl out on a date and they go to a movie... she will tell him the movie was great, best thing she's ever seen and then go home and call her BFF and tell her how horrible it was! I know not all girls are like this, but most of them are! Why? Why do we tell our best friend that something looks good on them, when in reality it doesn't!
I know it is not only women that do this... and guys, if you were just a little more honest yourselves, you wouldn't have to jump the fence to mow the lawn, if you know what I mean!
I guess this would explain why people like to play Truth or Dare... because we would rather take the dare than to tell the truth!

Election 2008

I hope this goes in favor of the democrates, but after watching the movie "uncounted" I don't think we will pull it off.
It's amazing to me how so many democrats are being elected into everything but the white house! How can that be... oh yeah I forgot, the election is rigged!
I think a one way ticket to some other country is in order... at least they still use paper votes in all other countries that still believe in the people having a voice!
Let's hope all turns out well in the election or I think we will have another civil war on our hands!
If you get a chance watch the movie, " uncounted". It's a real eye opener, as if we didn't already know that the last two elections were fixed!

Skunks

Always be careful what you wish for... it will come true, maybe not today or tomorrow but one day, it will.
I have always wanted a skunk for a pet. I think they are just the cutest things... take away the smell of course. I can remember watching the Disney cartoons of Pepe LaPue (if that's how you spell it) and wanting a skunk of my own.
Well, the last month or so, I have had a skunk hanging around my house. Some people tell me they think it is even living under my house! I have a pier and beam structure, so there is plenty of room underneath to make a nice habitat for a skunk. I have a few spaces in between the outside cement skirting for a small animal to get through.
Apparently, something is really upsetting this skunk because it's odor has been permeating my house at night!!! The smell is God awful, to the point your eyes start to water!
So now I am forced to set out a trap to hopefully catch the thing and get rid of it! Yeah, how's that going to happen without getting sprayed and by the way... what the do skunks eat??? I put out cat food, I guess I'll see if I get anything.
So again be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. Although a de-scented skunk would still be cool.

Why is it so difficult?

You know the older you get the harder it seems to be to meet people of the opposite sex.
You look for the tell tale sign of a ring, keep walking if there is one and if not you check out the rest of him. See if he's with a group or another female. Does he have any kids with him? and so on...
Why do I still hold on to the images of a guy from my 20's when I'm pushing 40??? Why is it harder to even strike up a conversation with a guy? You would think that with about 20 years practice it would get easier... but it doesn't! Do guys think this way too??? Do they have as hard a time as us girls?? Call me old fashion, but I've always believed that it should be a guy that approaches the girl! Should I change my way of thinking?
I am a sucker for a great smile and a really nice back! I wish guys could walk around without shirts on, Top Gun volleyball scene gets me every time!
Sometimes I think it's easier just to stay single and not mess with the whole thing. But then you get out in public and "it's raining men" everywhere!! God hates me... figures, he's male!

Air Show

Today was the air show at Kelly. Amazing as always. Having grown up in the military, I miss it! There is nothing closer than a military community.
I was extremely saddened by the fact that Kelly is no longer a part of the military community. I mean I have known for years that it was sold off, but I just hadn't been there since it was a part of the military until today. And I can't help but wonder if the military had to pay to put on the show? What was once their own property has now been privatized and I just wonder who gets the benefits from the air show? How much did the military have to pay to put it on? Why do we let our defenses go? Wasn't this what led to fall of the Roman empire, among other things of course. We passed by some quarters where military families used to live and now it appears to be low income housing... why???
I have such fond memories of life on a military base... the company picnics, softball games, block parties, parades... what's happened to all that?
Why do our leaders feel like we need to privatize everything? Haven't we seen enough companies go belly up and mismanage funds and resources?
I had a lot of fun today and it made me realize that I would really like to be a part of that community again... know any really nice military guys??
Lots of families were there, many I am sure have no idea what it is like to see your loved one go off to war. Saw a few veterans... sad that they don't get the recognition that they deserve, especially the ones who fought in Vietnam!
What will it take for our country to realize that the military is the one area that we should put more money into and build it back up, instead of tearing it apart piece by piece!
