I WAS going to post something Funny...

The Friday Video WAS going to be funny this week, but I am saving it.

I got this emailed to me earlier this week and FINALLY got a chance to watch it.

Best.Rant.Ever.



So my liberal friends, enjoy your weekend knowing The Fine Gentleman Grayson of Florida is out there.

Wordless Wednesday - The happiest guy I know.

To the newest member of the family!

Why bother wasting your breath, spewing verbalness... when you can simply sum it all up in one neat n tidy little post it note.
Post it Notes are verbally versatile and can be used for all sorts of fun things. There are no rules. They can be fun, lighthearted, serious, notes to self, notes to others, complaints or just some to do lists. Get creative.

Tonight I am leaving work early and Boo Boo La La and I will go to visit the newest Alpha Omicron Pi - Tau Chapter Legacy...

Now go forth and post-it the land...

Sanford & Son - All about MEme

So this week I am supposed to say which of the Friends I am most like...

SuprahMommy and MommyBrain came up with this idea and you can play too, just click on the logo above...

This one is really hard for me, because I do not really think I am like any of the Friends characters - but if I had to pick I would say EARLY episode Monica, because quite frankly when she got super-duper-skinny I think they made her a little TOO crazy. She got all hyper and nutso and in the beginning she was mildly neurotic, a neat-freak, but more soft-spoken. Maybe with a little Rachel thrown in...

HOWEVER, my favorite episode was with the later - nutty Monica and her Secret Closet...

I always laugh when I hear this theme song and imagine Chandler singing it to Monica.

tee hee.

Classic.

So, WHO ARE YOU???

Cheree - Suicide

I heard this on the Currents "Theft of the Dial" this morning and LOVED it. Moby was the guest DJ this morning so of course he chose some out there stuff...
This group, Suicide, apparently is considered as influential in the post-punk scene as The Clash... even though I never heard of them before today, but I digress.

Wikipedia has a huge listing for them where it outlines this first self-titled album:

Their first album, Suicide (1977), is often regarded as a classic: One critic writes: "'Che', 'Ghost Rider'—these eerie, sturdy, proto-punk anthems rank among the most visionary, melodic experiments the rock realm has yet produced. Of note is the ten-minute "Frankie Teardrop," which tells the story of a poverty-stricken Vietnam
vet pushed to the edge: critic Emerson Dameron writes that the song is "one
of the most terrifying, riveting, absurd things I’ve ever heard.

They go on to say:

Bruce Springsteen was also influenced by the band, as evident by the song "State Trooper" from his album Nebraska. Furthermore, Springsteen also used a solo keyboard version of "Dream Baby Dream" (by Suicide)
to close the concerts on his 2005 Devils & Dust Tour.

Imagine if you were this talented with a microphone, a drum machine and an organ.

The Moon & The Boats

On my iGoogle I have a widget called "The Mixx" where there are many odd and many beautiful stories - I click on them and read, but today I clicked and looked at an Artist who is known for his paintings of the sea...the work above, The Moon and The Boats was the feature.

Beautiful. And pretty much how he is described on the Umbra Gallery website.

"True beauty is irresistible. It evokes an intense desire to look at it, to possess it, for us to identify with it. With his paintings, George Dmitriev can bring the viewer closer to the beauty.
In his seascapes he depicts the avidness of the waves, the champagne party of the exuberant breakers, and the transparent splendor of the aquamarine depths. It is striking that people are most often missing in the canvasses of George Dmitriev. In his art only one person is central, and that is the one who is looking at the painting.
But the almost hallucinating suggestion that comes out of his work is so strong that the viewer gets the feeling that he is actually a part of what is depicted: he is wading through the sea, he is standing at the beach watching the sun go down. He comprises a part of the irresistible beauty."

Post-It's? I invented Post-It's!!

Well, not really. You see this is the invention of two lovely ladies -

SupahMommy and MommyBrain.

SO - here is my post-it for the day and then I am sending you HERE for the Twenty-Five Most Passive-Agressive Lunch Room Notes!!!! Beware, I laughed so HARD I almost peed my pants.

in my office...

THAT would have sucked.

MEMe Music Monday - Soundtrack of Mommy!

So the idea today is to share music that moves you - or used to...create a

Soundtrack of Your Life

At least according to SupahMommy and Mommybrain - get the link and play along if you like...

Mine? Pretty eclectic, I think...

When I was five and had my first AM/FM Radio, Raggedy Ann & Andy thank you! I listend to the country stations late at night because the songs had stories...

Johnny Cash was my favorite, still is...



As I grew older I discovered Rock N' Roll and well - just about lived for the Rolling Stones...I think Johnny is okay with that.



By high school I was loving Madonna, The Beastie Boys, etc. But EVERYONE told me I was a dead ringer for Belinda Carlisle...and I loved singing to this song LOUD. I could even hit the high parts back then.



Then, in college I felt like this all the time. I went through boyfriends as fast as kleenex I used when I would listen to this song.



After I dropped out of college I worked in radio - early on I was at a Top40 station and all I can recall of that time was Ace Of Base. ;) And now I still love them and Abba too. ;)



I know this is getting long - but I AM OLD, remember?

Speaking of getting old I love Mary J. Blige because this song reminds me to cut out what does not help me get through the day...get rid of the drama, everyone has theirs and no one gets more than they can handle in their life.



This song reminds me of why I have my new life...I mean it may seem odd; but I lurve me some EverClear.



When I work out this is in my head...



And of course my life would not be complete without hearing the Police blaring in the recesses of my mind...today this song, though I know it is about obsession, reminds me of my daughter. I cry thinking that someday she will be a woman with her own family and reminds me I must cherish my time with her now as best as I can. I know sometimes I fail, but I pick up and go on with a hug and a kiss.



Enjoy!

Love, MommyLisa

Have you ever heard of The Community Channel?

This girl Natalie is brilliant - she needs her own sitcom. Really!

Look back at some of her YouTube posts and see how she makes the totally mundane funny...

like better than Sienfeld funny...

Perhaps I am a schoolgirl?

I am having mixed emotions...

So - I am now two courses away from FINALLY earning my B.S.

no no no - I KNOW I am full of B.S., but I never actually earned my degree back when I attended the University of Minnesota (Rah-Rah-Rah for Ski-U-Mah!).

I lost most of my financial aid because I was working full-time and not taking a full-load of courses and just felt like my degree path was stupid, so I quit...

And did I ever tell you I was about 7 classes away from graduating?

With a degree in SCANDIAVIAN LANGUAGES???

I.just.gave.up.

And went into radio - DO NOT LAUGH! I was a dj for 8 loooooooooong years. At stations from Ottumwa, IA to Indianapolis, IN - From Alexandria, MN to Minneapolis, MN - and a few random useless months in Mankato, MN doing the AM Drive and reading the farm reports.

I had it ALL baby!

But, then I got a job at Capella University and school would be FREE! Who turns down FREE SCHOOL??? Not me, I kind of liked school and now - well now I could get a degree that actually might help me in business.

So, I have a 4.0 gpa - I have had to finance school myself for two years and I have TWO STINKING CLASSES LEFT! (I do not work at Capella anymore, but HEY to all my friends who still work there!)

This morning I opened my latest textbook and school starts again on Monday. I almost felt like crying...my second to last textbook ever! I do not think I will go for the MS in Education like I used to say - unless I get FREE SCHOOL again.

I am at a turning point. I can feel something is going to happen...but what?
