Anything But Gray

Myspace is weird.
Just flat out fucking weird.
I feel like I just spent an hour in a freak show….

There. I said it.

So I'm browsing through myspace….
I don't get it.
Am I getting old?
People make their backgrounds so you can't even read what the fuck is on the page.
Some of it might be interesting, especially for a nosy person like me, but you can't even read it.
Then the ones you CAN read write in these completely stupid spastic sentences that you can't even understand.
Is it code?
Or you stumble across a teacher and find all kinds of messages that you just don't imagine people would be leaving for a teacher. Nothing wrong with it, but boy…impressions can be WRONG. lol
Anyway, I just honestly don't get it.
I've come across a couple here and there that are cool and interesting, but for the most part..
I feel dumber for having read half the shit I just did.
People are completely throwing away the written word.
Nobody writes….really writes.
Actually, I shouldn't make some kind of blanket statement based on reading my space profiles.
I mean, it's supposed to be fun, goofy….not a serious thing, right?
See…if that's the case, I kind of get it and I do know a lot of kids use it and in that case, I get that, too.
Okay…maybe I'm being a bit harsh. LOL

ugh….I just need to shake that whole hour off.
I just wish people would make their pages READABLE.

geez.

It's my brothers' birthday today!
Eddie is 18!! Can you BELIEVE that??
Not me….

Marky is ..I won't say it, I think he is a bit depressed about it…lol.
I know he misses his family…and he has to work tonight, so it's not like we can all go out and do something for his  birthday. I'll have him over when we get home this afternoon and we'll do cake and ice cream and stuff…
That'll be cool and we'll have to go out one night soon, all of us to celebrate it, big.
I hate when birthday's have to be a normal day, when life is just too busy and it's impossible to do anything big.
I mean it happens all the time, you have to put off going out on your birthday until a less busy day, but still…it's cool that it's on a Friday and I wish we could all go out.
Soon!
Happy Birthday, bro….we love you!!

Date night was fun. Marky so kindly watched the kids cause Ceci had to close. That was really cool and it went well. For date night, we tried the new japanese steak house and it was really good. I liked it. Too expensive to do all the time, but very nice for a treat. Then we went and saw Pirates….I LOVE Captain Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp doesn't do a thing for me, never has. I mean I love his acting, but that's about it. Captain Jack Sparrow on the other hand…on my gosh. And I honestly don't get it. He's so very gross. The nails…the dirt….he wears eyeliner!! I really don't get it….but whatever, it's there.
But I think I may have developed a *thing* for Orlando Bloom with this movie. There is one scene….on the beach….it's a romantic scene and he's looking for his boot and the girl puts her foot up on a rock, with the boot on. He starts kissing her leg. But it wasn't just kissing her leg….he adored her. The look on his face, the way he was kissing her….it made my heart race and I was thisclose to crying…it took my breath away. It's probably just me….lol.
But
To be adored like that….that's the stuff every girl dreams about.
Loved it.

Woke up to this in the paper…

Sound off on the important issues at

Bill Adair, owner of Bullwinkle's Pizza Parlor, remained hospitalized
Tuesday in Johannesburg, South Africa, and is recovering from a gunshot
wound that damaged at least a tendon in his upper calf, said Emmett
Marlow, manager of the restaurant.

Adair is expected to be flown to a Seattle hospital today for further treatment, Marlow said.

Adair and his friend, Dr. David Miller, had been hunting for leopard in Zimbabwe when one of the cats pounced on their guide.

"The leopard circled back on
them and attacked the guide," Marlow said Adair told him over satellite
phone. Adair then went to help the guide and the leopard turned on him.

"He started screaming at Dr. Miller to shoot it," Marlow said.

Miller aimed and hit the
leopard, but the bullet from the high-powered rifle passed through the
cat and struck Adair in the calf.

The guide, whose arm was injured, also tried to shoot the leopard, Marlow said. Eventually the cat was killed.

Miller, a surgeon, treated
Adair's wound in the field before he was transported to a hospital. The
incident occurred either May 21 or 22.

Marlow said he last spoke with Adair early Tuesday, mostly about business.

"He sounded pretty good. They sent some pictures up to our bookkeeper," he said. "I didn't know leopards got that big."

Leopards are known to be the
most elusive of the big cats and, unlike species such as lions, are
solitary creatures. They vary in size from 60 to 150 pounds, with males
being larger.

From this article it sounds like he'll be just fine. Otherwise I wouldn't make light of it…I'm sure this will be the talk of the town today, so we'll hear more and see how he's doing…..
Bill is a good guy, that's who we worked for when we worked at Bullwinkle's.
And he used to Zak to sell his house….

And Emmett, I just adore Emmett. I have known him a million years and he always seems to show up in my life when I need him the most. When I was figuring out who the hell I wanted, once and for all…..kirk or zak, Emmett was there. He really gave me sound advice. When Zak and I were all messed up when we moved back to Alaska, Emmett was there for me. He even made me my Bundy Stick! LOL
I love Emmett. Very cool guy that has helped me through a lot of shit….

I think I want to go to South Africa….
I'm not sure yet.
I'm not a travel abroad person, have no desire too, AT ALL.
But South Africa sounds interesting and Italy..I've just always wanted to go there. It sounds romantic.
but that's it. otherwise I like the good ol' USA and there's quite enough here that I haven't seen yet. I don't need to be carting my ass to other continents….

I do, however..need to cart my ass into the bedroom to get dressed…..

So I never do this. Not ever. When a new album is due to come out that I am super excited about, I don't go looking on the internet for songs or lyrics from it. That is something the internet has killed and I refuse to let it do it to me, every time. The excitement and anticipation of a new album. The waking up super early in the morning to get to the store to buy it, first thing. The eagerly ripping it open, throwing it into your player and reading the lyrics while listening. I LOVE THAT. It's seriously one of my favorite things on the planet, hands down. And the internet has taken that away, somewhat. You can almost always find parts of the album and lyrics long before the album comes out…which I think completely takes away from the experience of a new album. I really do.
J believes this also and she never goes hunting either.
Well, she just couldn't resist this time….and once she posted it, forget it, there's no stopping me. LOL
I had to get it to.
So courtesy of our complete inability to resist temptation you get to hear this too!
It's just a little snippet from every song..

I cannot wait….I just cannot wait. This really sounds like a kick ass album. Although I will say how freakin' weird is it to hear Leann Rimes on one of their records…lol.

I'm witholding any opinions until the whole album comes out…..

ENJOY!!

J found this video and it is AMAZING. I love, love, love hearing stuff like this. I love hearing him talking about being inspired, lyrically…I love hearing how things came to be…
Man, I wish they would write a book filled with stuff like this. I love it.
AND from what I am hearing so far…this is just going to be an amazing album, lyrically AND musically.

I cannot wait.

Thanks J, by the way! lol

Until Bon Jovi's new album.

Bon Jovi new album cover

I CAN'T WAIT. I am actually really digging that cover. I hope it stays like that….

I made a countdown gadget at google…..only 22 more days!!

I fucking hate the news sometimes.

I won't burn this into YOUR brain, but since it's already stuck in mine, I need to vent.
Horrible news story.
Child dying needlessly….
I hate that.
I know, who doesn't….probably the asshole that did it.

Is there truly a hell? I tell you what…the poor mother will spend her life in a kind of hell.
That has to be a hell….living with your child being murdered.
And what did she do to deserve that?
My thoughts and prayers are so going to be with this woman. My heart hurts for her, so bad.

I couldn't handle that..losing a child.
No way.
You would have to sedate me the rest of my life.
I feel things far too much.
I mean look at me now…I'm seriously distraught and I know I'm going to have nightmares about this news story.
I just hear about something like this and I'm a wreck.
No way would I be able to handle it.

Kim and I were discussing this once and she said that God knows I wouldn't be able to handle it and that's why it'll never happen to me.

I pray to God she's right.

You be the judge….

New hair

This is a really dorky picture, but it actually shows my hair pretty good, so here you go….

New hair 2

I love it!
I'm getting used to it and I honestly don't think I'll ever have brown hair again, I like it that much!!

Jaime has a friend (Alex) over and then we have Cierra's birthday party tonight….
BUSY.

Sorry for making everyone wait so long to see my hair…
I'm awful, I know….

tah, for now!

So I'm looking through some cards online.
I came across one with this on it…

(singing) "and when you said I scared you, well I guess you scared me too.".

I love you!
J
