With all the insane chaos surrounding the aftermath of Anna Nicole’s death, it can be easy to forget what Anna Nicole Smith was really all about, and who she really was deep down inside...  Read More »

As many of you know, I have a picture on my site that may or may not be Anna Nicole Smith in a body bag. This post has generated more hits and comments than anything else on here. The comments range from loving thoughts of Anna Nicole to berating me as a person for posting such a picture. But those comments don’t bother me since most of the people that leave them have not read anything else I’ve written; which is a whole other pet peeve. But I digress… Every...  Read More »

This news may not have come as a surprise to you, but it certainly did Hulk Hogan, who was informed by a reporter that his wife Linda has filed for divorce. What a crappy way to start the holidays. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that their daughter is a ogre whore and their son is a jail bound reckless idiot. Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, told the St. Petersburg Times that he had no idea his wife had filed for divorce. He was...  Read More »

Happy Thanksgiving! Ben Franklin thought the turkey should be the official bird of the U.S. Since 1970, turkey consumption as gone up 108%. The average weight of turkeys on the table for Thanksgiving is 15 pounds. A 15 pound turkey is about 70% light meat and 30% dark meat. A female turkey is called a hen and a male turkey is called a tom. A wild turkey can run at the speed of 20 miles per hour. It’s estimated that Americans eat 675 million pounds of turkey...  Read More »

Ok, so I’m not exactly thankful for nothing, but I’m not overflowing with thanks either. Raise your hand if this past year has been as hard for you as it has for me. Yes, yes, I know it could be worse…blah, blah, blah…but the fact remains that as of this instant, my life is pretty sucky. I am, however, thankful for a couple of things nonetheless… I am thankful for my Therapist. I am thankful for my Pedro Friends (you know who you...  Read More »

Well, I am certainly having a case of the Mondays today. I hit my head earlier coming up from plugging something in under my desk. Then about 10 minutes ago I pinched the side of my palm in a rusty metal lock and am now watching it turn different colors. Yes, I have ice on it, so don’t think I’m a total idiot. Anyway, now I’m way cranky. An atheist was walking through the woods. “What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful...  Read More »

I guess I can’t complain too much that today is Monday – it’s a short week in the office, after all. But that’s really of little consolation. It’s still Monday and I still wish it wasn’t. Worse than that, it’s Monday morning, the worst morning of them all. On November 19, 1863 President Abraham Lincoln delivered one of the most important speeches in American History. The Gettysburg Address lasted a mere two minutes,...  Read More »

My ears have been ringing since Friday night; I must be getting old. But I’ll deal, because the Ozzy Osbourne concert on Friday night was awesome! Rob Zombie performed first and did and excellent job of getting the audience pumped up. Man, that Zombie, he’s one talented and imaginative guy. I love visually appealing performances, and this one was certainly that. I don’t think the following clip was his best song of the evening, but it’s...  Read More »

What do you get when you cross a Pitt Bull and a porcupine? The dog was sedated, while 1,347 quills were removed, and lived to tell about it. From Wikipedia – Porcupine: * Porcupines are rodents with a coat of sharp spines, or quills that defend them from predators. * The name “porcupine” comes from Middle French porc d’épine “thorny pork”, hence the nickname “quill pig” for the animal. * Contrary to popular belief, porcupines are not...  Read More »

Ever hear of Stockton, CA? Well Ozzy Osbourne and Rob Zombie have, and tonight they’re performing at the Arena there. I will be attending, along with my boyfriend, one of the people I went to the Download Festival with, and my wise friend Rhobby. I’m guessing it’s going to be a pretty kick-ass night.

One week from today, Thanksgiving will kick off the 2007 Holiday Season. Well, in America anyway, and only if you don’t count Halloween. But other than that, it’s the beginning. Last year I was thankful for plenty. This year, eh, not so much. Oh sure, I appreciate the little things in life, like water and shelter and boring stuff like that. But for the most part, I’m a cranky old lady. I think it’s due to the stupid 40+ hour a week stupid job I...  Read More »
