Perhaps The Coolest Thing I Have Ever Seen!
I don't know if what I saw was an optical illusion or, what it really is. But, since I traveled for Christmas this year, I had to fly. I had a window seat and when I looked outside, I saw a rainbow in the clouds. I have never been above a rainbow before but, what I saw was so awe inspiring. What we see from Earth is an arch and we all wonder where a rainbow begins and ends. What I saw from above the clouds and above a rainbow was a perfect circle with no ending or beginning. It was simply a beautiful, perfectly circular colorful ring! So cool that I struggle to put it into words. So, the question is, is a rainbow really and arch with a beginning and an end or a circle that seems to surround us from above? Either way, Rainbows are nothing short of beautiful reminders that our world is colorful and mysterious!
Invasion by Robin Cook
Over vacation, I finished another book. This is an author whom I would swear I've read before but, since I can't seem to find any books by him in my library, I guess I am wrong. Anyway, the book was Invasion by Robin Cook. It was captivating! A Sci-Fi roller coaster ride! I loved it and I believe you will too!

Celebrate Much?
Did you all celebrate like it was your job yesterday! I hope so! I had a wonderful Christmas! I got to get reacquainted with some relatives that I haven't seen in years!
So, the countdown begins for the new year!
Happy rest of 2007! And, a Very Happy New Year 2008 to all of you!

I'm Confused...
There is only one daytime soap that I watch and that is General Hospital. So, I don't like to prop up the stereotype that Soaps are for women but, let's face it, woman make up the majority of Soap Opera viewers.
So, that being said, who do the writers of General Hospital think watches their soap? First of all, the predominant storylines always circle around Sonny Corinthos and his role as the King of the top mob presence in Port Charles. Fine! But, since when are mob stories something that the majority of women women really like to watch? It is in my most humble opinion that men tend to watch shows and movies having to do with the mob more than women. What is it doing on a show where the viewership is comprised mostly of women?
Next, we see a lot of scenes where the women are all sexied up in eye popping outfits meant to turn the viewer on. I want to see the men of General Hospital nearly naked. Not the ladies. They don't do anything for me and I make up more of the show's viewership than the other gender.
I think the writers need to get their priorities straight and realize who they are writing for.

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?
My friend sent this to me and, I couldn't help but share! My favorites are the last 6!
While you are at it...why do you think the Chicken Crossed The Road? Besides the standard answer of "To get to the other side." Be creative! I think he crossed the road for a chic! Why else do chickens cross roads?
Sorry Folks. I will have to find another way to post this because, upon looking at it today, I see how very bad it turned out! So, for now it is deleted! I will try to work on getting it back up later!

Journeyman...
I talked about this show yesterday. Last night, NBC aired what might be the shows series finale and I loved it. I hope that they bring it back but, if last night's episode was the series finale, I like how they wrapped it up in such a way that it could serve as a finale but, left room to bring it back.
Well done!
Well done!
An Answer...
I went searching for answers to why CBS aired reruns of NCIS, Criminal Minds and CSI: NY this week, despite everything saying that we were to expect new episodes. It appears as though networks are supporting the strike by airing reruns instead of the few episodes the shows have left.
Props to you for supporting your peeps but, perhaps you should let the rest of us in on your plans or risk pissing us all off and watch your networks fail when this all gets straightened out, because we are still stinging from your nice little FU to The Powers That Be. We are not the enemies. Stop punishing us because you are trying to prove a point!

A Nickname...
For those of you who have cats, you know that they don't tend to lay on their backs because it puts them in a very vunerable position. For a cat to lay on her back, she is showing how secure and comfortable she is in her surroundings.
As I have mentioned before, I have 3 cats and a honking huge dog. One of my cats lays on her back on the floor with decent regularity. Because of the position and the way it looks, my hubby and I have nicknamed this pose, the Hustler Pose. And, that is because, when she does it, she has her legs spread out and all her danglies out there for everyone to see, as if she is practicing for a photo shoot with Hustler Magazine.
It is more rare for us to see the other two cats in this position. But, recently, my youngest has started working the Hustler Pose.
Last night, I was watching some TV when the hubby told me that I had to hurry up and see "this". So, I ran upstairs (quietly as I know that that tends to mean someone is doing something cute and to make a lot of noise would make the cute stop happening). There is one piece of furniture in my house that my dog is allowed to sit, sleep and drool on and that is the futon in one of our spare bedrooms. There he was sprawled out and comfy and in front of his face was our youngest cat doing the Hustler Pose.
I posted a picture of the two of them cuddled up together in the past. Unfortunately, even they knew how unnatural their love is and how compromising to their futures a picture of their unnatural love at its rawest would be. So, before either my hubby or I could get a camera to catch them in the act of Hustler and observer, they both moved and there is no evidence of their transgression. Sorry folks! You would have loved it and felt dirty all at the same time!

The Best Thing Ever Said...
Sometimes people say things that should never be said. It makes them look really bad. I mean, really bad. But, it is so great that it becomes the best thing ever said simply for the sheer stupidity of it.
On this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County on Bravo, some of the Housewives' daughters are spokes models for an energy drink in the O.C. They drive around a Hummer that is wrapped in the company logo. Christen, one of the O.C. Angels, was driving but and got the attention of a motorcycle cop who promptly pulled them over due to her piss poor driving skills. The cop asked why they didn't have a license plate and she said that they just got the car. The cop said that they had that car since 2006, which he probably found when he ran the Vin number. So, the answer then was, "plates don't look good on this car!" And she was as serious as a heart attack.
That is the best thing I have ever heard anyone say! Not because I agree with her. Just because it is the most perfectly stupid excuse for laziness and stupidity!

Just Stick to the Hit Music Man!
Some people should just not say a lot of words in public. Kanye West is great at making hit music. But, this makes him look racist and is sort of confusing. Shut up and sing!
“I’m a pop enigma. I live and breathe every element in life. I rock a bespoke suit and I go to Harold’s for fried chicken. It’s all these things at once, because, as a tastemaker, I find the best of everything. There’s certain things that black people are the best at and certain things that white people are the best at. Whatever we as black people are the best at, I’m a go get that. Like, on Christmas I don’t want any food that tastes white. And when I go to purchase a house, I don’t want my credit to look black."
- Kanye West tells the new issue of Spin
Did This Happen To Everyone Else?
Or, just in Georgia? I get that it is less than a week from Christmas and people are on vacation or too busy to watch TV so, a lot of shows are reruns this week, and probably next week too. But, what was the deal with CBS showing that they were running new episodes of NCIS, Criminal Minds and CSI: NY and running reruns under the descriptions of new episodes. I Tivo'ed all three of those shows and, sure enough, when I hit the Info button on my remote, the description of the shows were for new episodes. NCIS was supposed to be "Tribes" but was a rerun under that title and new episode description. Criminal Minds was supposed to be the new episode titled "3rd Life" but was a rerun under that new title and description. And, CSI: NY was supposed to be the new episode titled "Happily Never After" but, was also a rerun under that new title and description. WTF? Why can't CBS get its act together?
I think that possibly 70% of the shows I watch are on CBS but, I have more problems viewing those shows because CBS seems to screw the pooch a lot. It is very frustrating when you can't watch what you want to watch because the network can't get their shit straight! Ugh!

A Show I Like...
I like the show Journeyman on NBC. I can't remember if I have mentioned it before. But, it is a good show. A tad like USA's Dead Zone. Even the main characters of those 2 shows bare a remarkable resemblance to one another. But, different enough that I don't feel like I am watching NBC's stab at USA's original.
Anyway, Monday night's episode of Journeyman was great. I did not see that coming. Well, I suppose I might have considered a possibility similar to it. But, it was well played.
So, I have heard rumors that Journeyman may not make it after tonight's mid-season finale. I would be somewhat disappointed. But, at the same time, if it does get cancelled, that just means that there is one less show for me to watch.
That being said, I hope it makes it! I enjoy the stories and the writers keep me captivated!

I HATE The Freaking Winter...
For those of you who love it, I am sorry to be a Debbie Downer but, I HATE this time of year. Not the Holiday season. The crappy, cold season itself. I am now on my 3rd cold in exactly 1 month and 2 weeks. Technically, I am on my second cold since my first illness was not a cold but Bronchitis and Bacterial Sinusitis. But, the point is, I have not been healthy for 1 month and 2 weeks. After my Bronchitis and Bacterial sinusitis, I had one day where I really thought I was going to be over my yearly illness in under 1 month. Then, the next day, a regular old, run-of-the-mill cold started. And, I wasn't fully over that one when, BAM, yesterday, another cold started! I am over this freaking season! Have been since I can remember. I have never been through one winter where I wasn't sick through most of it and, I can't remember the last Christmas that I wasn't nursing a cold or Bronchitis. Excuse me for what I am about to write but, FUCK! I just want to be healthy. I don't want to cough anymore. I don't want a sporadically runny or stuffy nose. I don't want to be clearing my throat every FUCKING 15 seconds! Ugh! I HATE THE FUCKING WINTER!
Well, Look At Her Role Model...
What else did people expect? Britney Spears' 16 year old sister, Jamie Lynn, is 3 months pregnant! She is the star of Nickelodeon's Zoey 101. A kids' show on a kids' network! Way to go!
I am really trying not to be too judgemental but, I remember where my head was when I was 16 and I was way too immature to raise a child. I simply can't imagine being a mother at 16 and, struggle to imagine any other 16 year old girls being someone's mother. Sorry! Call me a judgemental twat! She is too young and her family doesn't invoke a lot of confidence! But, to each his or her own! I wish her well and hope that she can be a better role model and mother to her child than her sister has been to her kids and any of the few fans she has left out there.

American Idol Hype Daily Count
DECEMBER 19, 2007: 5
BTW...I made it through yesterday, all day, without hearing or reading about American Idol. Unless you include seeing it on my Tivo search when I was looking to see if America's Most Wanted will be on next week. But, since that wasn't media, I didn't include it in my count. Should I have?

The Awesomely Awesomeness Has Happened!
I told you yesterday that Kevin Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, was heading into court today to ask the Commissioner to delay giving Britney any of her custody rights back until she sits down for her deposition. TMZ.com caught Britney running around the same day she was said to have taken a sick day from her deposition. Kaplan subpoenaed the evidence from TMZ to present to the Commissioner but, according to TMZ, the Commissioner indicated that he trusts what TMZ reports.
So, according to TMZ, Britney is to give her deposition sometime in the first week of January. There was a scheduled hearing set for January 23rd but, because Kaplan will need time to review Britney's depo, if she bothers to give one this time around, the Commissioner rescheduled that hearing for February 19th.
Do they have your attention this time Britney?

This Is One of My Pet Peeves...
All that can be asked of you when you are driving, with regard to speed, is that you go the speed limit. If you don't feel comfortable going over the speed limit, that is fine. Some of us are sort of dare devils and some of us have lead for feet. There is nothing wrong with being a law abiding citizen.
The problem starts when you don't go at least the speed limit. So, a good rule of thumb is to take a quick look in your rear view mirror and see if there is a large line of traffic behind you. Now, look forward...as you should be anyway. If you don't see anyone in front of you, or, the people in front of you are far away from you, and you have given your rear view mirror a quick glance and you see that there is a train of cars behind you, you are the problem. You are probably going below the lawful speed limit and, you are likely going way below what people tend to drive on that road.
So, if you can't bring yourself to speed a little...and, we may even only be talking 5 miles per hour over the posted speed limit...than, at least get your car up to the speed limit because you are successfully pissing off every single person behind you. We have no right to ask you to speed. We do, however, have every right in the world to ask you to drive the lawful 45 miles an hour that was posted on that speed limit sign you just turtled past. And if you don't obey that speed limit, don't be shocked my the amount of times people behind you honk their horn at you or flip you the bird!

Not Quite
Again, another case where you can't really make out what I am trying to show you here. So, allow me to translate:This is a picture of a Ford F250 with a license plate # of 3Fity.
I got a kick out of it and thought you might as well!
Rob Me!
Why didn't they just write "Rob Me!" on it?
So, after adding the picture, I see now that you really can' entirely make out what is sort of off about this truck. On the door, next to the handle, is written "Don't lock this door". Yup! Hence the reason for the title of this post!
Should I Just Plug My Ears?
It is 2:04 PM and I haven't heard, read or seen anything about American Idol yet today! Could it be? Might it happen? Will I make it through my first day since that freaking show first hit the airwaves, without hearing, or seeing anything about it? No way! I say, only if I shut my eyes and plug my ears. But, we'll see. Even on the days when I don't post a Hype Count, I have heard or read something about it. But, I either forget to post a Hype Count for those days or it is a weekend and, I tend to take those days to give you all a break!
So, we'll see. Perhaps by midnight tonight, I will have seen my first day pass without having to hear or read about that stupid show, someone on that stupid show, someone who used to be on that stupid show, or someone yet to be on that stupid show!
Wish me luck! This could turn out to be a monumental day for me! And for TV, Radio and the Print media!

Population Growth...
Sheesh! I have lived in my city for almost 7 years and, it has grown by leaps and bounds in those 7 years. If I remember correctly, last I heard it was between 5,000 and 10,000 people per year in the past 7 years. And, it shows in my little 8 mile commute to work. I live in a subdivision off of a pretty major highway in my city. Now, realistically, the county should have widened that road somewhere between 10 and 15 (if not more) years ago. As a result of not thinking ahead, traffic is really congested and they have been working on widening that road, too little too late, for the past year (give or take some). When I first moved to my city, it would take me 12 or 13 minutes to get to work, and the same amount of time to get home. Because of the widening of that road, it took me that same amount of time to get off at my exit ramp. I sat on that exit ramp and waited to make my turn onto that highway for 12 minutes today during my lunch break. Fantastic! I can not wait until they get done with the widening!
In One Week...
Can you believe Christmas is only one week away? Remember when we were kids, how long it took for Christmas to arrive? It seemed like it took forever. But, because we are all so busy all of the time, life seems to fly by now. I actually feel like I don't really get to enjoy the beauty of everything Christmas anymore. I pine for those days when every Christmas light brought such a warm feeling to my heart. Now, it seems like I can't stop my thoughts from racing, long enough, to really feel the spirit of Christmas.
Time to slow down! How do I do that?
Are You One of These People?
If so, then shame on you!
There are people in the world that rush other people through when they are talking to them. You know those people. When you are having a conversation with someone and they either say, "Okay...and then!" Or, they do that little hand wave thing to signal to you that you need to skip to the end of your story because they are done talking to you because you are taking too much of their time. And, perhaps, you are that person. Again, I say...Shame On You!
Who do you think you are? I have dealt with that for so long in my life that it has actually changed my confidence in a very bad way. I am not the most confident person to begin with but, I used to be able to carry on a conversation without stumbling all over my words and making an ass out of myself. But, now because I think that no one really wants to hear what I have to say, I rush through my sentences in my stories and usually bumble words. I start to sweat, my face gets red and I feel that warm flush of embarrassment. At times, I wonder if people think I am drunk all the time because of the way that I stumble all over my words when I am in a group. All because some people don't have the time to be talking to me and have managed to undermine what little confidence I had.
So, from now on...when people do that to me, I will simply end the conversation. No more. Not one more word will leave my lips.
Here is my new rule, which you might call an early New Year's Resolution: If you don't have the time to talk to me, you are wasting MY time!

It Made Me Tear Up...It Made Me Giggle Out Loud...
...what more could a girl ask for in a book? How about suspense, horror and edge of your seat fun? Never doubt Dean Koontz. I finished his latest Edge-of-Your-Seater Sunday and recommend that everyone go out and get their copy! I will admit that it started off a little slower than usual but, the turning point wasn't far away and once I arrived at it, I had a hard time forcing myself to put it down to do such things as eat, sleep, work and live.
So, go get a copy of Dean Koontz's "The Darkest Evening of the Year". You'll enjoy it!

About Time...
According to TMZ.com, Kevin Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, will be heading into court tomorrow to ask that the judge prevent Britney from regaining any custody of their kids until she sits her immature ass down for her deposition. The last part is all just me enjoying the freedom of editorializing. He really just wants her to sit down for her deposition. No mention of her ass was made on TMZ.com.
This is his way of responding to her blatant disregard for the law when she called a sick day on her scheduled deposition last week but, was healthy enough to hang out at the Four Seasons Hotel and 2 gas stations later that night. 2 AM later...to be exact.
So, this makes me happy. I am pretty tired of seeing Federline's lawyer give her all the breaks that he has given. It is about time that she learns some respect for the law. All the breaks that she has been given have shown her nothing less than the fact that she can do anything she wants to and only the most minimal of punishments will be doled out to her disrespectful rump.
Throw the book at her. Or, the gavel. Or, at least the judge's shoe! Sheesh!

Peaceful Memories...
Sorry, I have been saving up since I was having a hard time sharing YouTube videos last week.
This is a song by 311. It is called "Amber" and I first heard it on my honeymoon nearly 6 years ago. Every time I hear it, it takes me back to the Mustang Convertible, with the top down, on our first night on the Big Island (Kona Coast) of Hawaii. I get everything happy. I get nastalgic, peaceful and reminiscent. So, enjoy it and imagine yourselves somewhere warm (if you aren't somewhere warm)with the scent of salt water air all around you.

I May Be The Only One...
I never liked this song. Sorry! It just isn't my cup of Venti Sugar-Free Vanilla Breve Latte. But, I love this. Tom Gleeson is a genius and should be bowed to! I would love to meet this guy and shake his hand someday!
Give Her What She Is Asking For...
This little rant that I am about to go on wasn't really sparked by anything other than months and months, and maybe more than a year, of bad behavior.
Here is my take on Britney Spears. Let what defines her, rule her. If she is Hell bent on being a LOSER, give her what she wants. Let her LOSE her kids, permanently. Let her LOSE her family and friends. Let her LOSE her job.
She doesn't deserve her kids. Just because you birth them doesn't me you deserve to have them in your life if you refuse to work at being a good parent. You don't deserve your family just because you were born into them. You have to nurture your relationships with both your family and friends. And, just because you could sing once upon a time doesn't mean you deserve a career if you can't be responsible in all aspects of your life...including your career.
Again, let what defines her, rule her! You want to be a LOSER! Enjoy LOSING everything you ever had.

What The Fedge...Part II
I can not figure it out. What is the deal with YouTube? I tried and tried for somewhere around a week to post Natasha Bedingfield's song Single on my blog and, it told me that it would post soon. But, it didn't forever. So, I finally find out another way to do it, I do that and...BAM...there the old attempts at both Natasha's song and the new Maroon 5 song is. So, there you have it...repeatedly. Sorry folks! I don't know what happened. But, let's just say it builds character and leave it at that!
Enjoy both songs again...and possibly again...and who knows how many more times after that. I lost track of how many times I tried to get Natasha's song to post on here before I found the other way. It is entirely possible that it might be on here 5 or more times. And, because I don't believe in deleting any of my posts in favor of others, I will just leave them!

Maroon 5 'Won't Go Home Without You'
This is why I love Maroon 5. Every single they release has me singing along. This is why the rock!
Your Opinions...
Over the past year (or somewhat less) I have heard about the book Dante's Inferno enough to warrant some curiosity on my part. I never had to read it for school and never came across it while browsing shelves in any book stores so, it was never anything that I either had to read or thought much about. But, as much as I keep hearing about it in casual conversation (a barista at one of my local Starbucks actually inferred that working for Starbucks is something like what goes on in Dante's Inferno), on TV or even in Brother Odd by Dean Koontz. Believe me, as much as I have heard or read about it, I feel almost obligated to read it. It is sort of like life is telling me that I need to read it.
So, after I get done with my current Dean Koontz book ("The Darkest Evening of the Year") and the 2 other books that I have waiting to be read, I think I will be buying a copy of Dante's Inferno and putting an end to the world's desire to get me to read it. Shut up! I get it! I'll read the dang book!
And, my question now is, have any of you read it? Would you recommend it? Any idea as to why the world seems bent towards getting me to read it?

And Now Others Are Noticing...
I mentioned this a couple months ago. I was reading People Magazine and they had a spread on Britney Spears and her problems. There was a big picture of her in that article and if you looked close enough at her hands, you could see what looked like cigarette stains. Well, Perez Hilton posted some recent pics of her on his site PerezHilton.com. I snagged this one from his site...hope he doesn't mind. Finally, I am not the only one who notices how truly dirty this girl is. She isn't just dirty in the way that she lives her life like a scum. She is dirty in her skin too. Gross! Take a freaking bath. What are you doing at those hotels almost every day if you aren't visiting the spas? Quit trashing your life and maybe your hands won't look like you just got done rummaging through garbage.
Here Is Natasha Bedingfield's Song "Single"
I have been trying to post this from YouTube for about a week and, now that I know another way to share it with you all, here it is.
Smiling Now!
Yay! Do you see it? It worked! (Just in case I have confused you, I am talking about the post below this one with the YouTube video of Maroon 5's newest release and video)! And, I like that you can change the borders when you use the "Embed" method of posting YouTube videos! How cool is that?
It is a bit more of a lengthy process than the "Share" method but, as long as it works, that is all I care about.
Now, I think I will go back and give you all what I have been trying to for somewhere around a week.

Let's Try This...Shall We?
As I told you yesterday, I am having a hard time posting videos from YouTube right now. So, I researched the problem and I found another way to do it so, let's see if this works.
If it works, the video is Maroon 5's newest song and video. This is why I love Maroon 5. They never disappoint me. Each and every single they release has me singing along and looking for it on my radio. I get excited when it comes on the radio and, I even look forward to finding the video either on MTV or online. This is why they rock!
So, here goes! Wish me luck! I would be so thrilled to be able to share it with those of you who either haven't heard the song or seen their new video! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Not A Fan...
Pretty much everyone who knows me, knows that I am not a fan of Justin Timberlake. I have a few opinions about him that, probably, most people don't share. But, there are a few of us out there.
First and foremost is that I think he should stop singing high. He isn't a pre-adolescent anymore. It just sounds like he is straining to hit those higher notes. Leave the Falsetto notes to people who rock it like Adam Levine of Maroon 5.
Next, he is a putz. I can't remember the last time I read something about him where he wasn't flipping the bird, cursing out or ignoring the paparazzi and his fans when he is out and about. Get over yourself before everyone else gets over you. If it weren't for the Paparazzi and your fans, you would be just another 20 something trying to make it in the business.
I am so tired of hearing his music. Some radio stations play 3 of his songs in one hour. Either they are 3 of the few he did on his own or 1 of his own and 2 where he collaborated with another artist. Either way, I am just tired of hearing his music...all the freaking time. It is so bad that I can change the stations 5 times listening for a song I like or one that isn't Justin Timberlake and 3 of the 5 will be playing one of his songs at the same time.
Finally, I think that every woman he has been with is his beard. Don't get me wrong! I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the gay community. I don't judge a person by their sexual preference. But, stop hiding behind women and be who you really are. See, he reminds me of George Michaels around the time that he came out publicly. He has that skin tight hair and the same look. Not that I would liken a look to gay or straight. But, I see a lot of similarities between a back-then George Michaels and present day Justin Timberlake.
Well, I have had my say!

Not To Stress You Out...
...but, do you have all of your Christmas shopping done? I do! Finally! All I have left is to wrap one more present, box it up and send it on its way.
What The Fedge?
I don't know what is wrong but, I have been trying to post a YouTube video for several days and, it says it should appear soon but, it still hasn't. So, the best I can do is post a link to the video that I want you all to see.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSOm5qycByA
Anyway, this is a video for the song Single by Natasha Bedingfield. It came out about a year or so ago, on MTV. But, for some reason, the song never made the rounds on radio. At least, not that I heard. I like this song. It is playful, empowering and upbeat. Now, I am not a single girl but if I were, this would be my Anthem. It reminds me of one of my girlfriends.
Anyway, hopefully you can get to it using the posted link. And, maybe some day I'll be able to post YouTube videos on my blog again. Until then...Enjoy!

Cough Cough...Too Sick...
...to give a deposition. But, not sick enough to stay out driving around till 2 AM...or later!
Britney Spears was supposed to give a deposition in her custody case yesterday but bowed out because she was too sick. However, she must have the secret to a true speedy recovery because she was spotted out and about at 2 AM this morning leaving the Four Seasons Hotel, and a gas station where she reportedly spent $50 to gas up, and another gas station where she left her assistant behind.

However, she must have the secret to a true speedy recovery because she was spotted out and about at 2 AM this morning leaving the Four Seasons Hotel, and a gas station where she reportedly spent $50 to gas up, and another gas station where she left her assistant behind.

What Does This Sign Mean to You?
To me, it means that the wheels on my car stop moving...at all. It DOES NOT mean "PAUSE", "SLOW DOWN", or "ROLL". It is one of those words that doesn't have a couple of other meanings. It simply means what it says. Here, I will even provide for you the dictionary definition of it...just in case you are a little bit gray on the meaning: stop [stop] Pronunciation Key verb, stopped or (Archaic) stopt; stop·ping; noun –verb (used with object) | 1. | to cease from, leave off, or discontinue: to stop running. |
I found this at dictionary.com. It seems pretty straight forward.
And yet, almost no one, save a few people like my hubby, some of my neighbors that I am friends with, and a few random people, seem to understand this very simple sign.
So, let me clarify. When you arrive at one of these crazy looking things, perhaps sit by it in your car and look at it....letter by letter. Look at the S, then look at the T, then the O and finally the P. After that, you have done all that is expected of you and you can probably just start moving your car again. This simple act of observing the sign letter by letter might help you remember each time what the sign is for. Because, at the very most basic reason for this sign is safety. It keeps you safe from hitting things. Things like other cars that might have more of a right to be moving than you do. Things like animals or say...other beings such as yourself...you know...People! Believe it or not, you are not the most important being on this planet. You are as important as me, as my friends and family, as my pets or someone else's pets, someone else's friends and family. I know this is hard to accept. But, once you do finally accept the fact that you are one little entity on this gigantic planet, you will become a better you!
So, pay attention to this sign and stop pissing those of us off that accept our place in this world and the need to heed pesky little laws like stopping at a STOP sign.

Do You Ever Wonder...
...what other people are thinking? Of course you do. Everyone is curious about what goes on inside of other people's minds. But, what had me pondering someone else's thoughts the other day was, while sitting at a stop light, a woman was crossing the walk in front of me and she had this sort of content smirk on her face. She had her head up high, was smirking as if she knew the meaning of life and it is actually a little bit humorous, and wasn't really squinting but seemed to be keeping her eyes shielded from letting that secret out. Actually, the little squint she had was something like a dog, nose up in the air, eyes squinted towards the sun, enjoying the simple smell of fresh air. I can't really explain it any better than that.
Let me tell you that she looked so content that she took me from being annoyed and a little pissed at the idiot in front of me that caused me to have to wait at the light due to being a clueless duffus, to giggling and in a brighter mood.
Some people do nothing but mind their own business and walk from one side of the street to another, and by that simple act, are able to affect people around them in a positive way. She was one of those people!

How I Met Your Mother...CORRECTION
Let me say it again...I hate sports and their constant interruption of my TV viewing. Due to football or some stupid sport like that, which is set to air tonight on CBS, the new episode of How I Met Your Mother that was supposed to air tonight, will be airing Sunday, December 16th at 1pm instead. I wouldn't have known that had I not been setting up my recordings on Tivo.com today and instead of taking me to today's new episode, it showed me a new airing on Sunday. I nearly missed it, thinking it was next week's episode.
So, for those of you in the south, make sure you either set your recorders for Sunday, December 16th at 2 PM to catch tonight's new episode of How I Met Your Mother, a full 7 days later than everyone else! Freaking Sport Assholes!

An Apology...
I am so sorry! I have told you about several shows that I favor but, I have never spoken of this one. I am afraid that I am doing it a great injustice by not tooting its horn...really brain rattlingly loudly!
Dexter on HBO is a great show. Unfortunately, its season will be ending this coming Sunday (the 16th). But, that shouldn't stop you from trying to watch it. The Season Finale this Sunday marks the end of its Sophomore season. So, what I would recommend is that you either buy or rent the first season and set your Tivo or VCR to record reruns of the 2nd season...or just wait until it comes out on DVD. It is a gritty, funny, edge of your seat kind of show. Dexter's writers are the creme of the crop! I applaud them their ingenuity in a world where everyone copies off of everyone else's papers.
Dexter is, at its bare bones, about a serial killers serial killer and, Michael C. Hall is the perfect choice for the title character. He is unassuming but mysterious and the way he narrates is nothing short of compelling. He draws you in!
I found a small spoiler about the season finale and have seen the previews and can honestly say that I am counting down the days till Sunday night's explosive (literally) episode Du Jour!

Brother Odd by Dean Koontz
I loved this book! Of course! I can honestly say that I have never read a Dean Koontz book that I haven't loved.
Brother Odd is the third in a series about a young man named Odd Thomas. The first book in that series was self titled: Odd Thomas. The second one was Forever Odd and, I haven't read that one yet. I found Brother Odd and bought it before I knew that Forever Odd even existed so, now I have to sort of back track. I should have stopped reading Brother Odd before I got the gist of what happens in Forever Odd but, I was too invested in it and couldn't just stop. So, while I know the end game of Forever Odd, I am still intrigued. So, I will eventually buy it and am looking forward to immersing myself in the magnificence that is a Dean Koontz read...even though I know how it ends...getting to the end is a journey I look forward to taking.
So, let me tell you about how weird the very timing of my reading Brother Odd was. The story of Brother Odd starts on December 5th and I happened to start reading it on December 5th. Really weird huh? I know!
As usual, it made me giggle at times. I didn't tear up at all in this book but, one out of two necessary components of a good read ain't bad!
Happy reading!

CSI: Miami...
For those of you in the south, CSI: Miami is set to air at 12:05 AM due to a stupid football game or something tonight. I would not have known that it was still going to air had I not remembered this crap happening another time in the past with another new episode of CSI: Miami. So, if you have a Tivo or VCR, set it up to record CSI: Miami if you know that there is no way you will be awake enough to stay up and watch it. And, my suggestion would be to set up the end time on your Tivo or VCR for at least an hour or two past the regular hour CSI: Miami would be on since sports tend to run late and you will likely miss somewhere between 20 minutes and an hour of it if you don't set the recording up for later.
Have I told you how much I hate the way that sports interrupt other TV and force those of us who don't watch sports on TV to think outside of the box when it comes to making sure that our shows are definitely not being aired. It's crap! Why should I have to work so hard to find my shows to accommodate for sports?

Clepto, Bad Mom, Horrendous Driver...
...ex-pop star...and the list goes on. I have been really good about keeping Britney out of my blog for some time now. But, I can't ignore this one. She has been known to just take stuff...a lot. And, usually she takes things that cost a lot of money. But, this time, she took something small that didn't cost much but is still wrong. What is with her? She makes over $700,000 a month and she can't pay $2 for a lighter at a local gas station? Loser! Add that to her titles list. This girl should be in jail...now. Not later from now...not never from now. In fact, 6 months ago. She is a menace to feet, her children, small business owners. EVERYONE! Put her away and throw away the key! In fact, coat the key in acid and make it cease to exist.

You Know You're An Adult When...
...instead of your neighborhood friends coming over to "chill" while watching TV, listening to music, having a beer, and chowing down on some Taco Bell, your neighborhood friends come over to borrow some baking powder or a cup of sugar so they can go back to their home and finish making their dinner.
That is one of the coziest feelings because it means you are finally home!
That is one of the coziest feelings because it means you are finally home!
The Push For Perfection
I was watching TV a couple days ago and a commercial that I usually just ignore, came on that started a little bit of anger inside. It is for "Botox Cosmetics" and the theme song is "Express Yourself". First of all, I try to ignore the push for perfection that plagues us every single day. In magazines, on TV, on the radio. Everywhere! There are women like Jennifer Love Hewitt, who end up in a magazine or on the Internet with pictures of her dimpled thighs because, she is a normal woman whose body is aging normally. I will admit that I am not her biggest fan but, I can relate to her. I am thin but, my body has responded to my 34 years by cottage cheesing my thighs. It happens when you get a job that is sedentary and you ignore the need to move around throughout the day, outside of your chair. I don't exercise. So, I don't take the best care of myself. I watch my diet, which is not really enough. I have no really strong excuses. I am simply lazy. But, age happens to everyone. I know people who aren't lazy and still get cottage cheesy. Even models get cottage cheesy. It sucks but, it is life and, unless you have hours and hours and oodles and oodles of money to spend on time at a gym and a personal trainer, you will likely fall prey to the cottage cheese monster on your thighs and butt. So, give women a break. We are always conscious of how our bodies look. We fret over it in bathing suits and in jeans. Most of us hate our bodies because we are held at such a high standard that, even if our bodies are perfect, we will find that one flaw, or the ten flaws, that no one else can see.
So, back to the Botox Cosmetics commercial. First of all, from what I know of Botox, there is not much "expression" to be had so, that song is sort of an oxymoron. And, do women really need one more commercial reminding them of the fact that they are aging and their beauty is changing? Of course, I think that people tend to get prettier the older they get. An ugly baby may be a beautiful person some day. But, then he or she will eventually be plagued by commercials that tell them that you are getting older and aren't worth looking at unless you inject a bacteria (or whatever Botulism is) into your skin.
Whatever! Why don't you inject it into your ass and sit on it?

Pandora's Daughter
Despite the use of the word "dammit" an inordinate amount of times, Pandora's Daughter by Iris Johansen is a really great read. I choked up at the end and will be looking for more books by this author in the future! A true page turner! I thoroughly enjoyed this book!
Kid Nation
This week's Kid Nation on CBS proved as fun as it always is. I was glad to see that the town seems to do better without the town counsel, which is now made up of DL, Blake, Greg and Michael. Really, the only bad force on the town counsel is Greg. He has proven to be exactly what I thought he was from the start. He is a bully who can turn on the charm when it serves his own purposes. He should never have been awarded a Gold Star. The one good thing that he did was make Sophia the town Sheriff. She may not be the most liked person in the town but, she was able to get everyone motivated to clean things up and get some chores done and they did it without having to be threatened and without complaints.
I was also glad to see them award Alex with the Gold Star. I thought that Jared and Zack both deserved the star as much as Alex. Although, I think of the three of them, Zack deserved it the most. Zack is a hard worker. He helped smooth things over with Taylor last week, and managed to get her to actually get her princess butt to do some work. And, he stood up for himself when Greg was being a jerk by laughing at him as he passionately and tearfully gave his plea for the Gold Star.
I was disappointed in Sophia for taking the Balloon Rides over the permanent stone monument that would forever mark their time in history as the founding fathers (and mothers) of Kid Nation in Bonanza City. But, I understand the need for fun and, I think she smoothed over any bad feelings that any of the kids had against her.
Back to Alex and Jared. Those two are brilliant. They boggle my mind at the tender ages of 9 and 11, respectively. Alex is well spoken and the pride his parents must feel for him mirrors my pride for him...and I don't even know him personally. Jared manages a giggle out of me every time he is on the screen.
Next week is the finale and I am looking forward to seeing how they have grown!

Your Only Job While You Are Driving Your Car...
...is to DRIVE YOUR CAR.
If I had a split penny for every time I, or someone I know, have seen people doing stupid shit behind the wheel of their moving vehicle, I would be able to retire to some huge mansion in Hawaii!
1. Ladies, your makeup? Really? You couldn't get up an extra 15 (or for the shellacked, an hour or 2) earlier to apply your makeup from the safety of your bathroom? Or, you can't wait until you get to the parking lot or the bathroom of your destination to apply that eye liner and mascara? Your car is not a vanity. It is to drive...safely...so as not to poke your eye out or kill the poor innocent person who had the unfortunate luck to be in front of you on your road to beautifying yourself.
2. One of the afternoon DJ's on another radio station I occasionally listen to, posed the question: "What do you do, or what have you seen others do, from behind the wheel of your car?" A woman actually called to tell him that she is guilty of this: Eating Shredded Wheat while driving. Not just dry Shredded Wheat. A bowl of Shredded Wheat in milk, with a spoon, from her center console while driving her car. And, she drives a stick shift. She is driving, while using her stick shift, and eating a bowl of shredded wheat in milk with her right hand and steering with her left! Nicely done lady! Oh, and she said that she is a good driver and an excellent multi-tasker. So, apply your ability towards being an excellent multi-tasker to your job. She also said that she doesn't want to get up a few minutes earlier to eat her breakfast at home. Now, that is just selfish. Tell that to the parents of the kid you kill because you are too distracted by your soaking wet Shredded Weat as it falls on your lap.
3. That same DJ started this line of questioning because on that same day he saw two stupid acts while he was out driving. He saw one woman driving with a cell phone in one hand and a sandwich in the other. She was steering with the sandwich hand and breaking from steering while she fed her face. Then he saw another woman driving with 2 chihuahuas in her lap. Put yourself in danger, I am not crazy about you putting me in danger, but, you should be arrested for abuse when you put your pets in danger by letting them ride on your lap. Sorry...just my opinion. When you stop short and throw them through the windshield or crush their bodies with the airbag, don't cry about the injustice when they are dead. It is your fault!
4. The hubby has seen people reading their newspapers while rolling down the road. Too bad you won't be around to read your own obituary that says: "killed by stupidity".
5. And, today, a woman in front of me was doing almost everything but driving. She was eating something, drinking soda pop, looking backwards at her kids in the back seat while gesturing to them with her hands, stopping short because she obviously couldn't keep her eyes on the road what with her hands full of food, drink and some form or erratic Mommy sign language and spinning her head around 180 degrees to look at her kids while moving forward. And, when I managed to get up ahead of her, she came up on me really fast as we were entering the highway in order to cut into the left lane just missing cramming into me. One thing at a time lady. Drive, get somewhere and eat and drink, yell at your kids and live while simultaneously not nearly killing other people on the road!
6. I have seen people drive with their feet up on the dashboard and I even saw one person driving with her left foot out of her window. I get that your left foot isn't really all that necessary for driving but, you should probably keep it resting comfortably on the floor next to your right foot that is doing all of the work.
I know that there are many more stupid things that I have seen and have heard other people talk about. If I remember any of them, or if I see more, I will be sure to update this post, or one like it!

2. One of the afternoon DJ's on another radio station I occasionally listen to, posed the question: "What do you do, or what have you seen others do, from behind the wheel of your car?" A woman actually called to tell him that she is guilty of this: Eating Shredded Wheat while driving. Not just dry Shredded Wheat. A bowl of Shredded Wheat in milk, with a spoon, from her center console while driving her car. And, she drives a stick shift. She is driving, while using her stick shift, and eating a bowl of shredded wheat in milk with her right hand and steering with her left! Nicely done lady! Oh, and she said that she is a good driver and an excellent multi-tasker. So, apply your ability towards being an excellent multi-tasker to your job. She also said that she doesn't want to get up a few minutes earlier to eat her breakfast at home. Now, that is just selfish. Tell that to the parents of the kid you kill because you are too distracted by your soaking wet Shredded Weat as it falls on your lap.
3. That same DJ started this line of questioning because on that same day he saw two stupid acts while he was out driving. He saw one woman driving with a cell phone in one hand and a sandwich in the other. She was steering with the sandwich hand and breaking from steering while she fed her face. Then he saw another woman driving with 2 chihuahuas in her lap. Put yourself in danger, I am not crazy about you putting me in danger, but, you should be arrested for abuse when you put your pets in danger by letting them ride on your lap. Sorry...just my opinion. When you stop short and throw them through the windshield or crush their bodies with the airbag, don't cry about the injustice when they are dead. It is your fault!
4. The hubby has seen people reading their newspapers while rolling down the road. Too bad you won't be around to read your own obituary that says: "killed by stupidity".
5. And, today, a woman in front of me was doing almost everything but driving. She was eating something, drinking soda pop, looking backwards at her kids in the back seat while gesturing to them with her hands, stopping short because she obviously couldn't keep her eyes on the road what with her hands full of food, drink and some form or erratic Mommy sign language and spinning her head around 180 degrees to look at her kids while moving forward. And, when I managed to get up ahead of her, she came up on me really fast as we were entering the highway in order to cut into the left lane just missing cramming into me. One thing at a time lady. Drive, get somewhere and eat and drink, yell at your kids and live while simultaneously not nearly killing other people on the road!
6. I have seen people drive with their feet up on the dashboard and I even saw one person driving with her left foot out of her window. I get that your left foot isn't really all that necessary for driving but, you should probably keep it resting comfortably on the floor next to your right foot that is doing all of the work.
I know that there are many more stupid things that I have seen and have heard other people talk about. If I remember any of them, or if I see more, I will be sure to update this post, or one like it!
