\u00a0\u00ab Click to view video\u00a0<\/p>\nI don\u2019t think Elizabeth is a horse\u2019s ass for saying what she believes, Rosie, after all got to do that much more than Elizabeth ever does\u2026 and in fact I applaud Elizabeth for finally standing up to that clod, Rosie.\u00a0 Unfortunately, Elizabeth stands alone in her viewpoints on The View\u2019s panel, which is bad because the rest of the women seem to have usually sided with RO.\u00a0 Is that fair and balanced?\u00a0 Hell, no.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s not over yet\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n The Defamer has\u00a0the scoop\u00a0on just who has been doing the\u00a0photo defacing\u2026 turns out it was one of Rosie\u2019s writers!\u00a0 According to Page Six of the NY Times\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cYesterday, Rose\u2019s chief writer, Janette Barber, was allegedly escorted from the [ABC studios] building after she was caught drawing moustaches on photographs of Hasselbeck that hang in the \u201cView\u201d studios.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n But I digress\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Rosie was on her way out, anyway.\u00a0 More than a significant portion of America does not like her and had shut off The View as soon as she came on to it.\u00a0 Now, I agree that while Star Jones was quite the bitch, she did behave herself (IMHO) much better than Rosie ever could, and her background in law provided a very interesting viewpoint along with the others. I don\u2019t miss Star Jones.\u00a0 She was starting to get on my nerves.\u00a0 But the show was on a slippery slope anyway, once Merideth Viera left. Now there\u2019s a woman with class, and a sense of respect and manners!\u00a0 I really enjoyed the show when it was Lisa Ling, Star Jones, Meredith Viera, Joy Behar and Barbara Walters.\u00a0 To me THAT was a more diverse panel.\u00a0<\/p>\n I don\u2019t disageree that Rosie ought to be able to have a viewpoint, and kudos to her for having the cajones to stand up for what she believes, but the way she does it is impolite and rude, her approach is often, \u201cThis is what everyone should think\u201d and rarely, \u201cThis is just what I think, my opinion\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n Honey goes a much longer way than vinegar ever will.\u00a0 Lack of respect is what I sum up when I think of Rosie O\u2019Donnell, as she is today.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget I did used to be a fan of hers back in her early stand up days and film career.\u00a0 Now just because I prefer a female role model who embodies class, ettiquette and respect does not mean I think women ought to stay at home and knit and bake all day and keep their mouths shut, and I don\u2019t agree that Rosie isn\u2019t a smart woman who has spent a lot of time speaking for women.\u00a0 But because of her swaggering, overbearing, very disrespectful and abrasive manner, combined with her lack of tact, she does give many women including me, a bad taste in our mouths and I personally don\u2019t want her speaking for the female race if she must do it in such a way that turns people off.\u00a0 I\u2019m positive many women agree.<\/p>\n She has failed miserably on many, many attempts to have a career in the media.\u00a0 Her talk show bombed, her magazine went tits up not long after it was started, and her career on The View only lasted 9 months.\u00a0 Not even a year!\u00a0 To me, all these things combined means that America does not like you, so STFD and STFU.\u00a0 I think she ought to stay home raising her children and being with Kelli.\u00a0 Or try another venue for her nonsense, such as the GLBT cable channel where she actually has an audience that would appreciate her.<\/p>\n May 1st, 2007<\/small><\/p>\n I live in a tiny, cramped 2nd floor apartment on Rice street above some offices. I have all my 9 windows on one side and guess what, it\u2019s the West side! So in the summer it\u2019s scorching and in the winter it\u2019s scorching. I almost never have to turn the radiators on in the winter during the day, at least not if it\u2019s sunny. If it\u2019s cloudy, then maybe. Once the sun goes down, between October and March, it\u2019s #*$)(@# frreeeezing in here. Thank God I have a decent digital a\/c for summer. Else I\u2019d go berzerk.<\/p>\n My neighborhood is scary. The SuperAmerica has been closed since December. Everyone I\u2019ve talked to (business owners and residents) all say it is because of too much theft. When it was open, they had permanent red plates screwed to all the gas pumps that it was pre-pay for gas purchase. The store had 2 cm-thick, clear plexiglass guard all around the counter between you and the cashier. You had to talk through a little hole in the clear window, and hold up your bread or whatever you were buying to the glass so they could scan it. There was a cop in the store after 6 at night. When there wasn\u2019t one (which was often), the plexi-guard would go down around the counter.<\/p>\n I once got my purse and notebook ripped off of me while walking down the street just after it got dark out, last October.<\/p>\n The building I live in is for sh**.<\/p>\n Until the owners of the building put a lock on the outside door leading to the lobby where the mailboxes and door buzzers were, there was constantly graffiti and trash (we\u2019re not talking the occasional paper or candy wrapper here\u2013try chicken bones, marijuana refuse, someone chucking their half empty can of Colt 45 on the floor) all over the common areas, and someone or something<\/em> was always peeing in a corner of the elevator.<\/p>\n People would walk in off the street, and buzz all the apartments, feigning the \u2018I left my keys upstairs\u2019 excuse. When, for the most part, they turned out to be just coming upstairs to bother tenants and\/or just get in from the cold so they could smoke weed or have sex in the laundry room and basically trash the building.<\/p>\n Some of the people in the building are loud and obnoxious. One of my neighbors used to have loud parties at all hours, even during the week, and she was 19 and had 40 and 50 year old men hanging around. It had to be drugs or booze. 50 and 19 year olds dont have that much in common! She had a 3 year old kid out of wedlock, the product of her being raped by a man who was then her mother\u2019s boyfriend. In the summer she would hang out her window and yell at strange men outside to come see her. She finally got evicted but there are still some characters in the building.<\/p>\n Once there was no washers or dryers working for 2 weeks because some dolt decided to try to crowbar-open the money receptacles of the machines to get the quarters out, thus making the machines inoperable.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t know if the neighborhood is getting better, but I will move soon in any case. I just hate moving. I don\u2019t drive and that keeps me from being as flexible as I would like. I\u2019m considering moving back to South St. Paul because it was quiet and about $100 cheaper rent. I have terrible credit after spending years trying to get my business off the ground, so my options are limited.<\/p>\n This is no home. I wouldn\u2019t put my worst enemy up in this joint. But it\u2019s where I hang my hat for now. Until things get better for me.<\/p>\n April 24th, 2007<\/small> February 28th, 2007<\/small><\/p>\n Seems that,\u00a0for a long time,\u00a0my life has\u00a0been a cycle of being in and out, of a complete, chaotic, mess.\u00a0 Money\u2019s been too tight (and since November, practically non-existent), and I\u2019m stressing out because I either have too much to do or not enough to do.<\/p>\n It\u2019s my own damned fault, I suppose.\u00a0 I could be getting more work.\u00a0 Or more money, somehow.\u00a0 A little back-story\u2026for those\u00a0who don\u2019t already know\u2026 I run my own business from home, which can be scary sometimes if you don\u2019t plan things well.<\/p>\n But it\u2019s hard to be out and about trying to get contracts and meet people all day long and then go home and work for 12 hours more.\u00a0<\/p>\n I suppose I could get a part time job, but then when would I sleep?\u00a0 I\u2019m the only person working here, so it\u2019s not like I could just delegate some tasks to a staff member!<\/p>\n If I\u00a0continue this cycle of neglecting my own self-care, rest, and health, and spending 12-16 hours working every day, soon I will be dead.\u00a0 When I\u2019m working, I neglect myself.\u00a0 My hair won\u2019t get washed every day, I won\u2019t take care to eat the right things, and I smoke too much.\u00a0 I love my job\u2026but it\u2019s ruining my health.\u00a0<\/p>\n So I\u2019m trying some new things\u2026like not working one day a week and just spending that day doing meetings or marketing\/making calls.\u00a0 Then I will spend the rest of that day not doing a damned thing but having \u201cme\u201d time.<\/p>\n I will give it the ol\u2019 college try and post how it goes.<\/p>\n ~TTFN<\/p>\n February 19th, 2007<\/small><\/p>\n Today I think I\u2019m at the bottom of the bottom.\u00a0 There\u2019s the earth\u2019s surface, then 50 feet of crap, then there\u2019s me.\u00a0<\/p>\n I got turned down again for yet another contract job, and then I got a knock on the door and was handed a notice of eviction action\u2026a summons\u2026not an official \u201ceviction notice\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n Roughly translated, if I don\u2019t go to court next week and pay 2 months rent, I could be forced to move within 24 hours afterward.<\/p>\n Long story short, the last couple of months haven\u2019t been very prosperous, as far as getting work goes.<\/p>\n I\u2019m actually thinking back now\u2026there were only really 2 paid projects I took on since just before Christmas\u2026and they didn\u2019t pay well.<\/p>\n So.\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s no wonder I\u2019m flat broke.<\/p>\n Guess I\u2019ll go sell fruit on the corner.<\/p>\n February 17th, 2007<\/small><\/p>\n I have been visiting www.youtube.com for some time now, and I know the original intent was to allow individuals to upload their own videos and allow \u201cthe people\u201d to have freedom of expression in the form of online video.<\/p>\n However, as most of the people who visit this site are aware, YouTube has also been a way for visitors to view videos that are copyright protected, such as interviews from tv shows, commercials, music videos by popular artists, and clips from tv shows\u2026even whole tv shows being broken into parts.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll admit to having been addicted to YouTube for the latter reason. I find it very gratifying and fun to be able to go lookup a clip online to see something I may have missed on TV which has people buzzing, such as the recent \u2018feud\u2019 between Rosie O\u2019Donnell and Donald Trump, or to view the commercials that aired during the Superbowl XLI.<\/p>\n The way YouTube works is this: You post a video that you recorded and people can rate your video, add it to their list of favorite videos, subscribe to your videos (meaning they can get alerted whenever you post new videos), and of course, reply to your video in one of two ways; by posting a text comment, or by uploading a video of your own, in response to the original video.<\/p>\n Then you have the people who respond to a video in the form of a video response, vs. simply replying in the text comment boxes. Some of these people, I find to be funny and\/or entertaining, while others seem to me, to be using the platform as a means to trying to become famous. Good for them! Lots of these people who post videos and video responses and use YouTube for the main intent, seem to have the most subscribers to their profiles, if their videos are especially humorous, entertaining or original. These people tend to garner a \u2018celebrity\u2019 status at YouTube and are the most active participants, once they realize how powerful their contributions have become.<\/p>\n I found though, that the \u2018celebrities\u2019 of YouTube seem to be the people that use the site for its original intent, and although many of the videos they post are entertaining, some even informative, I have this theory\u2026<\/p>\n I believe, that the most popular YouTube users are either a) trying to get jobs\/be famous for video production and editing and\/or acting\/journalism\/tv personality, or b) just really not talented in writing or typing anything with substance or intelligence.<\/p>\n So there you have it. I think YouTube for the most part, is a way for people to \u2018blog\u2019 by video because they are too daft to write and\/or type.<\/p>\n Say what you like about me. That\u2019s just my $.02.<\/p>\n February 9th, 2007<\/small><\/p>\n I was reading the entries for the Wife in The Fast Lane contest, which is being run by a woman who wrote (and is promoting)\u00a0a book about busy career moms\/superwomen\/etc. and was laughing at some of them (they are funny) and happened to visit the blog of the author.\u00a0 I was reading a post in January\u2019s archives and saw a photo belonging to someone I thought was at least<\/em> 18.\u00a0 There was more cleavage than anything else.\u00a0\u00a0The text\u00a0below\u00a0said the picture\u00a0was of a 15 year old.\u00a0 I can\u2019t believe this woman lets her 15 year old daughter dress like that!\u00a0\u00a0There was no way to comment on the site and EVEN if there were, I felt it would be\u00a0rude to speak my mind there (not to mention none of my beeswax, I suppose\u2013she\u2019s not my kid after all), so I put it here.\u00a0<\/p>\n Since it\u2019s my<\/em> blog, I guess I can.<\/em><\/p>\n *sticks tongue out*\u00a0<\/p>\n And that\u2019s all\u00a0I have to say about that.\u00a0<\/p>\n February 3rd, 2007<\/small><\/p>\n OK.\u00a0 I like to have the radio on during the day while I work.\u00a0 It kinda makes my day go by a bit faster, and it\u2019s nice to have it on in the background.\u00a0<\/p>\n When the radio\u2019s on, I normally listen to the classic rock station here in Minneapolis.\u00a0 And I luuurve classic rock.\u00a0 In my book, there\u2019s nothing better than\u00a0hearing some old Rick\u00a0Deringer, Steve Miller Band, Rolling Stones and Heart!\u00a0 But for some reason, ever since winter came, my reception has been a bit wonky.\u00a0 I think it has something\u00a0to do with the position of the radio (on a windowsill in my kitchen) and the fact that the sun is in a different place?\u00a0 Sounds weird, I know.<\/p>\n Anyway,\u00a0the reception was really OFF one day,\u00a0so I got up and started\u00a0dialing around on the FM bar the other day and decided to tune into the local \u201clite rock\u201d slash \u201ceasy listening\u201d station.\u00a0 Because sometimes I have a hankering for some Barbara Streisand Evergreen,<\/em> or old Lionel Ritchie, Kenny Loggins, and Seals & Crofts.\u00a0 Nice.\u00a0<\/p>\n But after awhile,\u00a0the muzak\u00a0started to grate on me.\u00a0 Although there are moments to enjoy, when they throw on some old George Benson, 80\u2019s Whitney Houston, and James Taylor, I have to leave the room<\/em> when James Blunt comes over the airwaves with his squeaky voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n They play way too much contemporary \u2018emo\u2019 music for me, and too much of the crap boy band songs that try so hard to be r&b but really don\u2019t satisfy (i.e. stuff by Back Street Boys, All4One).\u00a0 Then they also throw in lots of generous splashes of whiny songs by Faith Hill, and I want to bring out the Tylenol, not to mention when they play cover songs by new country artists.<\/p>\n Then there\u2019s\u00a0Green Day\u2019s Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)<\/em>\u00a0which\u00a0 seems to be played a lot whenever I go to a wedding, a party, a reunion, etc.,\u00a0and seems to have taken over the as a Big Part of The Soundtrack of (most) of My Generation.\u00a0\u00a0Since I cringe everytime I hear it\u00a0in those situations,\u00a0I get the urge to make a run for my bed and hide under the covers whenever it comes on over\u00a0the friggin\u2019 radio airwaves.<\/p>\n So I\u2019ve decided that since the station has its moments\u00a0(during the Flashback Lunch hour, that\u2019s when they play the good ol\u2019 Barry Manilow and Gladys Knight),\u00a0I will continue to listen during those times.\u00a0<\/p>\n But I would be\u00a0happier\u00a0if LITE-102.9 FM would cease and desist with all the \u201cYou\u2019re Beautiful \/ She WEEEEEL be loooved \/ Ya had a bad daaay \/ Tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet\u201d-laden crap their playlist seems chock full of.\u00a0\u00a0Because if\u00a0I\u00a0have to hear Counting Crows cover of Big Yellow Taxi<\/em> Train\u2019s Drops of Jupiter<\/em>, or anything by Uncle Cracker again, I will<\/em> bang my head on the wall!<\/p>\n PS – yes I kinow,\u00a0I have cheesy taste in music.\u00a0 But that great elevator type stuff is the best to work to!<\/p>\n [\/rant]<\/p>\n February 2nd, 2007<\/small><\/p>\n Editor\u2019s note: Actually the ad might be<\/em> for toothpaste, but we\u2019ll never know, because they don\u2019t say what it\u2019s for!<\/p>\n Does anyone find this to be really awful, besides me?<\/p>\n Rembrandt recently launched a new ad campaign which I do not care for and find to be very distasteful.<\/p>\n The commercial I saw for this was disgusting to me, and quite sexual. The campaign is called \u201cThe Brilliant Mouth\u201d, and features a man and woman, kissing each other in a way that made me hope that he at least bought her dinner first<\/em>.<\/p>\n The campaign was launched recently and the first commercial aired during Sunday Night\u2019s recent episode of Desperate Housewives<\/em> according to AdRant.com<\/p>\n When I saw it, it was tonight (2\/1\/07) during the commercial break for The Office<\/em>. It was practically softcore porn Yeah, I know The Office<\/em> isn\u2019t exactly \u201cma, pa, sis and junior gathered \u2019round the television set after dinner\u201d-style entertainment, either.<\/p>\n But still<\/em>.<\/p>\n It was kinda racy.<\/p>\n Though I\u2019m 33 DEFINITELY a member of their target audience, I felt as though I was peering in on someone\u2019s bedroom activities, and kinda feel sick about it now. I am not one to pass judgement on anyone who wants to do the nasty, heck I even have those thoughts, feelings, etc. and DO things about them\u2026*ahem*<\/p>\n But come ON. I have some dignity and a door I can close to the world, during such activities. I\u2019m certain there were people out there who had the urge to light up a cig after seeing that ad.<\/p>\n Then I thought of the people who felt like me and just kinda got mad about it.<\/p>\n So I went to their website to air my thoughts about this (pretty much the same things you see written here) and they have MORE of TEH SEX all over the front page of their site. Very disappointing. I\u2019m sure the company\u2019s namesake is rolling in his almost 340-year old grave. On top of all this disgusting-ness, the company posts \u201c12 Days \u2018Til Valentine\u2019s Day\u201d on the home page\u2026so? And your point is\u2026?<\/p>\n News flash: You\u2019re not Hallmark. Cut it out.<\/p>\n But I digress.<\/p>\n Perhaps their main target consumer is into that sort of thing but it wasn\u2019t even 9 p.m. when I saw this! I realize also that Desperate Housewives<\/em> is an entirely different audience than those watching NBC at 7 p.m., but I found the entire ad to be in poor taste. What happened to just a good clean \u2019smile\u2019 shot between the two people and then a simple kiss without all of the implied foreplay?<\/p>\n I guess my main issue with it is this. I thought the whole \u2018feel\u2019 of the ad was unreasonably<\/em> titilating. With a capital T.<\/p>\n Can\u2019t they sell oral care products without being THAT overtly sexual? I realize smiles, lips, teeth, etc. can all be sexy and \u2019sexy\u2019 does sell products, but how about a nice NON-PORN-ish kiss on your commercials?<\/p>\n I guess I am naive\u2013and sort of hope\u2013that perhaps American consumers and marketers might have a shred of modesty and decency in them.<\/p>\n Oh, wait\u2026a few years go we just endured the fact that our Commander-in-Chief had some taxpayer-sponsored lip-service (pun intended) on his \u2018lil Commander. And hey, how about trying to turn the TV on just about any ol\u2019 time of day, and not see a Girls Gone Wild<\/em> DVD for sale, or big jiggly boobies pimping GoDaddy<\/em> services!<\/p>\n So I guess by many standards, America and its media, are pretty sexed-up. And have been, for some time now.<\/p>\n But has it gone too far? And do we have to sit here and take it?<\/p>\n I\u2019m gonna have to say a big NO to that.<\/p>\n Eh. You can call me a prude if you want to. I don\u2019t care. I\u2019m sticking to my guns on this one.<\/p>\n January 15th, 2007<\/small><\/p>\n Was Paula Abdul under some sort of influence during a series of interviews broadcast last week?\u00a0 Or not?\u00a0 FoxLife says maybe\u2026<\/p>\n But Ms. Abdul\u2019s publicist, Jeff Ballard says otherwise, denying that she slurred her speech, and chalked it up to technical issues on the part of the TV network\u2026saying that she was simply reacting to the interview room\u2019s bad acoustics, voices being shouted to her microphone and other stuff.\u00a0 Full article here\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n Below are links to 3 different interviews showing a different story, in which Paula does slur her words during throughout almost the entire segments of the interview, and is spinning in her swivel chair so much that she almost is out of the camera\u2019s view, and in some cases, out of her chair!<\/p>\n Decide for yourself\u2026 HEY KIDS, COLLECT ALL 3!!<\/p>\n Interview 1\u00a0– Video<\/p>\n Interview 2\u00a0– Video<\/p>\n Interview 3\u00a0– Video<\/p>\n (links open in\u00a0new windows) January 1st, 2007<\/small><\/p>\n Sorry I think this story is hilarious\u2026<\/p>\n 1. Man hears school board wants to consider renaming Winter and Spring holiday breaks for school to \u201cChristmas\u201d and \u201cEaster\u201d, and heartily opposes.<\/p>\n 2. Man wants to make the ultimate sacrifice to stand up for his beliefs<\/p>\n 3. Man prepares to die in a burst of flames<\/p>\n 4. The long arm of the law come to save man with fire estinguisher<\/p>\n 5. Man lives and now suffers from burns on his body<\/p>\n 6. School board makes decision to use the words \u201cChristmas\u201d and \u201cEaster\u201d for holiday breaks anyway.<\/p>\n 7. I read the story and laugh my ass off.<\/p>\n December 25th, 2006<\/small><\/p>\n Yep.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been between 35-55 degrees this past week leading to Christmas and the ground has been dry and clear of any snow whatsoever.<\/p>\n On Thursday, we got snow.\u00a0 It melted away by Saturday though.\u00a0 That was it, since Winter started, Dec. 21st.\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u2019m totally MIFFED that my Christmas was not white.<\/p>\n It felt weird to be\u00a0sitting inside celebrating with my family, and looking outside to see a clear blue sky and sun everywhere on dry ground.<\/p>\n Eww!\u00a0 Not right at all.<\/p>\n I do NOT understand people who are happy about this. They are not true Minnesotans. They are traitors.\u00a0 Heathens!<\/p>\n December 18th, 2006<\/small><\/p>\n I was a bit upset that they didn\u2019t have one of my faves\u2013Chunky Monkey.\u00a0 Something about banana ice cream is so fantasically refreshing to me!<\/p>\n So instead I got these\u2026<\/p>\n Vermonty Python – Haven\u2019t tried it yet, but the carton says \u201cChocolate-liqueor-flavored ice cream with cookie crumb swirl and milk chocolate cows.\u201d\u00a0 I guess the cows are\u00a0to represent\u00a0the flying cows on the Monty Python\u2019s Flying Circus<\/em> show.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mint Chocolate Cookie – This is mint chocolate ice cream with chunks of Oreo-style chocolate sandwich cookies (not Oreos but close).\u00a0 Sounds delish.\u00a0 I love mint ice cream, Oreo Cookie ice cream, and chocolate, so I hope it does not disappoint.<\/p>\n Black & Tan – this is meant to be similar to the drink by the same name\u2013a tall frothy glass of Irish stout beer.\u00a0 If you like a cool pint of Guinness now and then, you might like the half inch or so of creamy (albiet sweet) stout-flavored ice cream on the top of this concoction.\u00a0 But if you are not a chocoholic, you might not like the rest.\u00a0 It is dark (almost black) chocolate ice cream with hint of chocolate liqueor taste to it.\u00a0 Even I didn\u2019t care too much for this dark layer, and I love chocoloate.\u00a0 This part of the ice cream was very chalky to me, and had a strange sort of choclate taste, but not chocolatey-ice cream taste.<\/p>\n American Pie – Apple pie-flavored ice cream with chunks of cinnamon-y apple and pie crust.\u00a0 Very different.\u00a0 Tasted exactly like apple pie ala mode!\u00a0 Not a favorite though.\u00a0 Ben & Jerry\u2019s fares better with their chocolate ice creams, in my opinion.<\/p>\n Marsha, Marsha, Marshmallow! – This is my ALL TIME FAVE Ben & Jerry\u2019s flavor!\u00a0 It\u2019s not marshmallow ice cream, so beware marshmallow lovers\u2013if that\u2019s what you expect, you will be sorry.\u00a0 It\u2019s rich and dense chocolate ice cream, hunks of fudge chips (the the same ones\u00a0found in the New York Super Fudge Chunk flavor), swirls of toasted marshmallow goo (this part strangely looks like deli mustard\u2026but tastes great\u2013best eaten in the dark livingroom in front of the glow of your fave DVD), and hunks of gritty, salty graham cracker crust-type stuff.\u00a0 This ice cream is rich, sweet and salty all at once.\u00a0 A lot of fun textures combined to make an interesting treat.<\/p>\n December 18th, 2006<\/small><\/p>\n I cannot\u00a0understand Seasonal Affective\u00a0Disorder (SAD).\u00a0 I can however, completely agree that it\u2019s a disorder.\u00a0 If you let the weather affect you THAT much,\u00a0something is definitely wrong with\u00a0you.\u00a0<\/p>\n Perhaps there is something wrong with me,<\/em> too.\u00a0 I must be one of the oddball freaks of nature, who react ENTIRELY the opposite way to gloomy weather.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re suffering from SAD, go live in Arizona between November and March.<\/p>\n I HATE having this bullshit straight MONTH of sunny upper 30-50 degree (mostly) days in DECEMBER. It needs to be snowing and cloudy, dammit.<\/p>\n I hate that we only have a couple (at best) brisk days in the fall and the rest of September and October is bloody 60-70 degrees out, and BLASTED HOT, and sunny. We get like, what\u20135 days of colored trees then bam, the leaves all fall to the ground.<\/p>\n I cringe when people (especially the WEATHER PEOPLE ON TV) complain in the first week of MAY that it\u2019s raining outside and only 60. It\u2019s only SPRING PEOPLE, we\u2019ve only JUST completed the winter meltdown a week ago and there was hardly any rain in April.<\/p>\n Then, spring only lasts about a week and BAM. It\u2019s only May 10th and it\u2019s 80 out. WHAT THE HELL????!!!!!<\/p>\n I can\u2019t stand it when people live in Minnesota complain about winter. Go fvcking live in Florida, you asses.<\/p>\n We don\u2019t get enough of the spring and fall that I really love. You know, about 40-55 out, light jacket weather. Perfect for walks and backyard fires and camping.<\/p>\n Sunny days make me sleepy and want to not do anything. I love crisp, overcast and yes, rainy days.<\/p>\n I should be a perfect candidate to live in London.<\/p>\n December 17th, 2006<\/small><\/p>\n raising brows for years\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n One of my classmates, Shane K. could do this all the time.\u00a0 He would do it when someone said something stupid.\u00a0 When something someone said was supposed to funny but he didn\u2019t get it (which I thought was sooo clever instead of just saying, \u201cI don\u2019t get it\u201d).\u00a0 The eyebrow that he gave to people was something he was soooo good at that it made you feel silly when he did it to you.\u00a0 It was like he was able to say a thousand things without speaking a word.\u00a0 I was determined to learn how right away!\u00a0<\/p>\n The first time I tried to do it, holding down one eyebrow (like I\u2019ve heard some have tried to do) wasn\u2019t enough.\u00a0 I would spend HOURS trying to lift that one muscle in an attempt to be as clever and intimidating as Shane.\u00a0<\/p>\n What worked for me was, sort of lowering my right eyebrow to kind of make my left one SEEM higher, though what ended up happening was that my right eyebrow was WAY down there and I just looked mad.\u00a0<\/p>\n If found that if I kept trying the combination movement of simultaneously LIFTING my left eyebrow muscle while forcing my right eyebrow down.\u00a0 It worked.\u00a0 I took a lot of time practicing but I\u2019ve been successfully raising my left eyebrow at people since about the 5th or 6th grade.\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u2019m just now commenting on this because I cannot believe someone actually put this as a goal on 43things.com:)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" July 15th, 2007 I\u2019m not a conservative, more of libertarian, who happens to have a few conservative viewpoints.\u00a0 And get this.\u00a0 I used to be much further to the left than most liberals!\u00a0 In recent years I began to see things differently and realize that having more liberal\/democrat ideals, wasn\u2019t for me.

Now, just this week, reports say that while Rosie goes on her gay cruise\u00a0she apparently hasn\u2019t lived this all down yet, and has even resorted to stooping to her lowest by bashing Elizabeth when she isn\u2019t around to defend herself.\u00a0 Rosie is reported to have trotted out a large poster of Elizabeth,\u00a0defaced with\u00a0childish devil horns, goatee and tail, done in a\u00a0very childish manner with a black marker, and says to the crowd of people, \u201cHer only effing credit was Survivor<\/em>!

Yesterday I went to SuperTarget and they had Ben & Jerry\u2019s pints for 2 for $4 (normally almost $4\/each).\u00a0 So I picked up a couple.\u00a0 Or six.\u00a0 Yeah, so I\u2019m post-menstrual.\u00a0 I need ice cream now and then.\u00a0 Deal.<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.kissmysass.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/connery99we7.jpg\")
