“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” ~Nelson Mandela That quote above is one of my favorites, and oh so true. There is so much potential for love in this world that all that ugliness is just sad, and a terrible waste of time here on earth because in my own experience, there are so many amazing people from all over the world in every imaginable color, shape or size, culture and religion too, that I know in my heart if I had wasted time hating people for no good reason, I would have missed out on beautiful friendships and family. However, today's selected holiday, entitled "Weed Out Hate, Sow The Seeds of Greatness Day" made me think of hate in a different way. One of my own vices (or two), road rage, and just encounters with assholes that cause m...

I've been trying to post for a couple days now, but keep getting distracted and sidetracked. Aside from that I just have felt "ZERO" energy this week. I do not know what is up. I had my B12 shot over a week ago, more near 2 weeks ago. I never really felt a substantial boost from that, and have not had a very good week as far as my exercise regimen is concerned. I feel a little like crap. To top that off, Richie's mood has been in the shitter this week because he had to adjust some of the crap that he is taking to become "Superman", and went through a couple of days of being an edgy asshole. That really pisses me off when someone is all edgy and jumps at the drop of a hat, tries to be all prickly and salty with me when I didn't do a damn thing. I don't feel like putting up with that shit. I would rather have a soggy, lazy, slacker of a human being than a "ripped" asshole (lol). Today, he does the usual... "springs" a Barbecue on me...

Yesterday, I arrived home and I trusted my husband to actually give me a Vitamin B-12 shot. I'm not afraid of needles, just didn't really trust at first if he was able to do it, but he succeeded. Here I am, still alive. Let The Music Play Band practice went o.k. last night. Our bass player has still been having "issues", just various things preventing him from being able to function on a normal basis. So he was out again. Richie, Rob and I went on and worked through some new material, as well as a song that we began a few weeks back. I guess we made some progress, I don't know. I had lost the lyrics to one song, so I had to go and listen to the practice recording of it and try to write the lyrics back down. I made it through most of them, but there were a couple places I couldn't hear the vocal and couldn't get the words. I know, I wrote them, and you'd think they would just "come to me", but sometimes you lose words, and if it's not rec...

I'm still feeling bitchy today, and severely wanted to get out and kick the ass of a fellow driver this morning right near my garage. I swear, the bitch pulled out right in front of me as I was coming through a green light (nearly causing a wreck). Obviously, she did it to be an asshole. I honked at her loudly, she had Florida tags (so stupid drivers aren't confined to just Memphis). Then I cussed at her all the way down the street because at a red light, I needed to turn and she was conveniently blocking me after her assholy maneuver. She appeared to realize I was cussing her (condemning her to eternal damnation as I was), and she shook her stupid head rapidly while mouthing something apparently back at me. In turn I flipped her off as we left the light. I know this is terrible energy, but I am severely far from being grounded and positive so far this week. I will just have to plead forgiveness to the cosmos later maybe during a bubble bath. Gahd! Why does it seem that every p...

(The TGIF Friday Post) Well thank goodness! I reached out to Jinks and she responded. Jinks Posted Everybody! Go Read . Glad to see she's peeking in again, and I'm hoping we can see and read more of her. She's really a fabulous person with alot of cool ideas and she writes very well... This post was just a short one, letting us know what she's been up to for the last few weeks but still, it's a dose of Jinks. Now her blog comments got screwed up one time, so if you read her, and wanna comment you will have to Leave Her Comments Here . She'll really appreciate if you stop by and say hello. What about me?? My sister said the other day, "You must be really busy, you didn't blog today." Yes, if I miss a day or two sometimes people think that there is something wrong with me because I blog a lot. I try to put something down even when I have nothing to say. I don't know why. Maybe it's good, maybe it's just another symptom in this disease. ...

Hump day turned out to be heist day in the lovely River City... As I was just getting ready to run out, hop in my car and get away from the office for lunch, I got a phonecall from the man upstairs. (No not god you idiot, Jeezuz!!--No not Jeezuz either, you know he has all his assistants do the calling for him because he's too busy!!!). The man upstairs at the help desk I mean... he called to inform me that there were police in the garage and they needed to speak to me, and it would seem that some dudes were in the garage stealing everyone's 'Cadillac Convertibles' [sic] out of their vehicles. Yes, there is a craze going around where they can take and sell these 'Cadillac Convertibles' [sic] for a pretty penny! Fortunately, they were unable to get my 'Cadillac Convertible' [sic] in time before the security guard caught the one guy who was still trying desperately to yank mine off the car. He had the muffler all sawed up, and everything was dragging the...

This was a forward to me in an e-mail. It's really funny, and it makes me want to do this to the next people who piss me off. Even if I decide not to, it was a stress relief just to read it. You may or may not have seen it before, but give it a read. It certainly bears repeating, I giggle every time I read it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ANGER MANAGEMENT When you occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to take it out on someone, don't take it out on someone you know, take it out on someone you don't know. I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call I'd forgotten to make. I found the number and dialed it. A man answered, saying "Hello." I politely said, "This is Chris. Could I please speak with Robyn Carter?" Suddenly a manic voice yelled out in my ear "Get the right f*** ing number!" and the phone was slammed down on me. I couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude. When I tracked down Robyn's...
