A Little Scary…

Monday, March 31st, 2008

No, I’m not talking about Yoshi threatening me in my last post! I ate dinner at Lady & Sons because I wanted to, not because I’m scared of him! I’ll talk more on Savannah in a day or two. I have to organize the hundreds of pictures we took first. We had a good time though. :)

Well…what is A Little Scary? It’s a new webcomic that my friend cybrpunk has started to publish. Go check it out! It’s kind of cute in a weird little way. :)

Where in the world are they now!?!

One guess… more to follow soon!

Chikezie Got Screwed…

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

I REALLY wish that Kristy Lee Cook would have gone home. It’s that damned site… and her pandering with last night’s song choice. Curse you stupid people!

It’s official, I’m a David Cook fan. I want him to win…and in a way I hope he doesn’t. I may actually like him more than Daughtry, vocally speaking. I do believe they are correct when they claim that this year’s group is their most talented. I’m having a lot of trouble figuring out what order the middle folks should go.

Chikezie reminded me of George Huff…who I just wanted to squish. I couldn’t help but smile when he performed, I have the same feeling about Chekezie. However, the one who without fail makes me smile is Jason Castro. He won’t win, but he sure is fun to watch.

This Makes Me So Very Sad…

Ranger Arrested in Gorilla Slaughter

My heart hurt a lot when I read this. I don’t know what else to say. :(

When 7 Dirty Words You Can’t Say on Television Become OK…

Monday, March 17th, 2008

It was 30 years ago when the FCC ruled that you could in fact, NOT say George Carlin’s 7 Dirty Words. Now it seems that the US Supreme Court Court will again hear a case to determine what is and isn’t acceptable.

Looking over the magic list, some of them don’t have the shock value that the others do anymore. Mind you, I’m no prude, either. But, does that mean that we need to loosen what we consider to be “decent” or acceptable to air on prime time. I understand this case is more about those impromptu blurtings that celebrities and various award winning folk are wont to do. But… my concern is that as we as a society become desensitized to profanity whether it be profane speech or profane subject matter, if we continuously lower our standards to reflect it, we’ll wind up in a bad state. We could conceivably end up with “Skinamax” (or worse) movies in prime time. Think that’s unrealistic? Picture primetime when we were kids (for me, that was the mid-to-late 1970s). Flash forward to today… Family Guy, on Primetime…with more than a subtle reference to a sex act I don’t want to explain to my child…ever.

I wonder where the last line that separates decency from indecency is drawn.

It’s a new TV show on ABC…it’s really good. You should watch it.

I’m really enjoying American Idol this year. I really wish that Kristy Lee Cook girl would have gone home for her crime against “8 Days a Week”.

Life keeps going by so fast and I seriously doubt any of you would be interested in what I have to say. Oddly, that’s where I was before I started to blog back in 2006…so maybe you WOULD be interested.

Ashlyn got accepted to the college of her choice. She’ll be staying at home, at least for the first year, since it’s just down the street a few miles. I hope she sticks with it and finishes her degree. Now we just await the end of her Senior year. She goes to her senior trip next month, 4 days at Disneyworld in Orlando. Lucky her, I didn’t choose to be a chaperone. LOL

Insomnia is still a part of my daily life. I am going to have a sleep study done next Friday. Of course, that begs the question…how can they do a sleep study on me, if I don’t really sleep? Hmmmm…

In case you were wondering where Canadians go for vacation…it’s Myrtle Beach. I’ve been trying to think of sneaky ways to get them to say “aboot”…but so far, I’ve not been successful.
