A trip to the DMV
to renew my license. I don't think I was in there 10 minutes. They have
that place set up to move people out so fast I never even stopped
through the whole process...and there's no line to stand in even if
there is a wait because they triage you and give you a number. You go
sit down and wait until a computer voice calls your number and tells
which window to go to. They don't just give it to you, they send it in
the mail. I guess that doesn't give thieves a chance to make off with
the equipment. I can tell you the picture I picked is scary as usual.
I ran over my phone (don't ask, don't tell) way back in December so,
although it worked, I've kind of been using it blind for the last four
months. I finally got a new phone and although they transferred my
address book, I lost my pictures...and it reminds me of Darth Vader's
phone, if he had one. I think he just used the communicator in his
helmet or something.
And does the fact
that Keith Richards snorted his dad's ashes really surprise anybody?
Now you know where Shakira got her moves from cause these hips don't
lie either. I still got those moves. It's from some old 8MM home movies
my mom gave me. I played with them today but I'm going to put them in
real digital format when I get a chance. I practiced that same dance at
the karaoke bar last night.
That's me not catching the ball, and I still throw like that by the
way. You see, it's how I was taught.
Duncan is out of town this weekend having a good time but he'll be
home tomorrow just in time for me to go to work. Love ya, miss ya.
A Rhode Island public school has decided the Easter bunny is too Christian and renamed him Peter Rabbit, and a state legislator is so hopping mad he has introduced an "Easter Bunny Act" to save the bunny's good name.
I'm
not sure what exactly what the Easter Bunny or eggs have to do with
Christianity anyway. Maybe a rabbit, or a cute little bunny entered the cavern
and resurrected Jesus Christ and hid colored eggs in his place. Jesus
then created a likeness of the bunny in chocolate and handed them out to
kids who believed in him. In later years, the chocolate bunnies became
hollow like so much religion.
Don Imus thinks
the Rutgers University women's basketball team are a bunch of nappy
headed hos. I know what nappy headed means. Every news story was
bleeping or deleting the word "hos" so I went online to find
out what they were bleeping out. Hos was the word. I pronounced it häs.
You know, hose without the silent e. What the fuck does hos mean? I
always think I know all the bad words but it seems like every so often,
I learn a new one. What's hos? or what are hos?, still pronouncing it häs.
I finally found it in the urban dictionary. Of course hos is hose or
hoes not häs. But shouldn't it be whos but not pronouncing the W? Did
you get all that?
And on the subject. Where does Al Sharpton get off
on calling someone else a racist? This fuck hates white people, Jews,
gay people, Asians, and God only knows what else is in his mind that
hasn't come out yet. Why the press gives him the time of day is still
beyond me. I hate those media hos.
I decided to rake the yard today and got three bags of waste out of
it. Where does this stuff come from over the winter? I don't know why I
bothered because we're supposed to get a good quantity of snow tomorrow
night and Thursday. I don't know why this winter just won't let go. I
can be quite depressing. Highs in the thirties and low forties have been
the norm. You all know I don't like the cold. You all know I want to be
wearing shorts. You all know I want to be doing some flower planting.
It's April. It's Spring. It's the way it was intended.
I got a handwritten letter from a lady from Ohio claiming to be my
third cousin, or third cousion is the way it was put. It was like the
letter was written by a four year old or maybe a ninety year old who had
lost some mental capacity. She claimed there was a reunion in May and
also wanted some information on the family tree. I would actually
happily comply but it really seems like some sort of scam, maybe
perpetuated by some Nigerians who don't know how to form real sentences.
Yea, a Nigerian snail-mail scam, that's it. But really, it's sad how
little I and I think most people trust strangers these days.
I cooked corned beef and cabbage last night for the first time. I'm
told it was pretty good. I don't know, I ain't eatin' no cabbage.
Not
a lot happening today, cleaning the bathrooms, and fun stuff like that.
Doing a little dinner and Lisa
Lampanelli later tonight. The queen of mean. I fell in love with her
a couple of years ago when I saw her on Comedy Central and every time I
see her, she's hilarious.
Tomorrow, we're waiting on weather.
Weather
Advisories: A MAJOR LONG DURATION NOR'EASTER WILL SPREAD A COMBINATION OF HEAVY
RAIN, SLEET, AND HEAVY SNOW TO THE REGION FROM EARLY SUNDAY MORNING
THROUGH EARLY MONDAY AFTERNOON. HIGH WINDS IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS ARE
POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY..
If spring doesn't
come soon, I'm going to jump off a cliff.
Lisa
Lampanelli was hilarious last night. Nobody or no group was safe. She even had two gay guys up front french kiss.
If you don't know who she is, please rent one of her DVDs. Today, I'm
watching the snow. The picture speaks for itself. Come on, it's April.
I just got home
from work and my stomach just fell out when I heard about the 32 people
who were gunned down with 56 being injured at Virginia Tech today. I
can't believe no one at work had heard about it. I just have a sick
feeling.
Here at home, just like on the rest of the east coast,
between the snow melt and the heavy rains, they are pumping out hundreds
and hundreds of basements in the area. I had to come home from work this
morning just to change clothes and dry off. This spring has literally
sucked, weather wise.
An elderly Georgia woman who broke her hip when she fell into an open grave during her friend's funeral is going forward with a lawsuit.
Marian May, of Marietta, Ga., slipped when she was trying to place flowers on the casket of Jean Murphy Henderson in June 2004.
"It is not much fun being down there, where it's nice and black, and you are looking up and I am saying 'Jean, I don't want to go with you,"' May said.
Her husband, 92-year-old William May, claims the accident has cost him the affection of his wife. May wouldn't reveal her age but said she wasn't as old as her husband. The couple is suing for more than $75,000.
Sanjaya
was finally voted off Idol
last night. My and I think everybody's frustration is over. There's so
much talent there this year and they were all being over shadowed by him
being on the show so I think it's gonna finally get good. Chris
Richardson and Jordin
Sparks are my favorites but Melinda
Doolittle is by far the best. Any of those three and I'll be happy.
Of course, my favorites never win but, whatcha gonna do? In other good
news, the second coldest April on record is coming to an end and the sun
is even coming out. I hear the upper 60's or 70 is not out of the
question this weekend. Oh did I mention Civil
Unions are coming to New Hampshire, local school taxes are not going
up this year and city taxes should go down for the second year in a row?
Where am I?
Frank: My dad
Frankie: My brother's dog
Grant: My nephew
Clayton: My nephew's almost one year old, usually referred to by my mom
as "The Baby".
My mom called me today, a day late, to wish
me a happy birthday. She was excited because my brother and his kids
were there. Here is a short part of the conversation.
Mom: I'm so
happy the baby is here.
Me: Grant's kid?
Mom: No Frankie, and he's gonna get to stay for two weeks so he's gonna
be able to go to Clayton's birthday party next week.
Since I had to
work last night, we celebrated my birthday last weekend.
Last weekend was when it snowed and it was cold where as this weekend it
was sunny and upper 70's. Oh my God it's beautiful. I planted some
shrubs, did some other cleaning in the yard, and took down the ugly
dreaded quince apple tree. Many sore muscles.
"We will not ask whether this proposition of legalizing same-sex marriage is popular or unpopular; we will not ask if it's hard or easy; we will simply ask if it's right or
wrong."
Elliott Spitzer
Unfortunately, Elliott Spitzer has not had much success with his
campaign promise to reform campaign finance because of the power
struggle in the Assembly, we'll see how this one plays out.
It's
currently 10pm, 75 degrees, thunder storming with high wind warnings. Pretty
cool, huh?
People
Magazine voted Drew
Barrymore The World's Most Beautiful Person. I love Drew Barrymore
but I think she may be second. Maureen McCormick is 50 years old and
she's just as beautiful now as she was when she was an older teenager on
The Brady Bunch.
Duck feeding koi...I browse You Tube a lot, probably way too much.
Yea, I like all the innovative
fun things to watch, but mostly, I like watching all the freaky
people, especially kids doing their thing. I was a strange kid who
did a lot of strange things, and I'm probably lucky there are no
recorded images to prove it.
