This isn’t going to apply to many people. In fact, many of you will wonder why the hell that I’m writing this and not stating who I’m referring it to. For one, it may apply to many of my loved ones who know what is going on. But I prefer to keep it to myself of who this really is going to. For one, they would probably beat me for embarrassing them; second, does it really matter? I’ll have them read this and that’s all that really matters to me………….
I want to tell you thank you. You will never know how purely grateful I am for someone like you to exist. Thank you for listening to me. Comforting me. Making me laugh, ALL THE TIME! Thank you for all of your advice and also for the times you just listen. Not judging me. For being my light in all this darkness around. You are my rock. I want to thank you most of all, for loving me. You are such an incredible person and seriously, if it isn’t for you now, I would be so lost. You are one of the coolest people I know. I really appreciate you always checking in on me and making sure that everything is running smoothly. It’s so calming to me knowing that I can always depend on you for support with all of this shit going on. Thanks for not giving up on me. Oh and because I’m pouring out my heart and soul, I’m expecting a night watching movies while munching on a huge ass tray of Chik-Fil-A nuggets.
Oh and one more thing…..tell mini Hitler I said shove it.
Yum!!! Talk about pure joy. She didn’t waste one drop of it. She ate it much better than the boys did. Maybe they need to learn a lesson about not wasting Ice cream………………………
Ok, I’m not going to lie. I have been having a hard time lately. But I am not one of those people who actually have the guts to be able to go into details with their depression, (Seriously, I give you guys props. That’s just not something that I can bring myself to do. I already feel like I am crazy and I really don’t have the courage to express that.) But I have to say, I love Nintendo. I have been playing Super Mario Bros. on my DS everyday when I come home from work. I can’t believe how much relaxation runs through my veins when I play that. I feel that some parents need to back off on their kids when they play with their Nintendo or Playstation or whatever they may have. The get so angry with their children playing video games because they feel it is a “waste of time.” Well, maybe what you do to relax is a waste of time to us gamers. Of course, the kids should not go and kill their parents off or literally beat them because they get grounded or something. That’s BS. Do your damn chores or homework and EARN the right to play your games.
Any who, normally I draw to get all of the stress out that I have been dealing with lately. Sometimes it’s nice to have a break and do something new to relax in the craziness world that we live in. The best part is every time I play with my DS; my kids come and snuggle up to me to watch. As I keep failing this stupid level that I have been trying to pass for the last couple days, there they are rooting mom on to keep trying and kill Bowser. Talk about working as a team. It’s funny when my boys start getting out of control and overly hyper, I can always bring out my DS and in a blink of an eye, and there they are by my side eager to watch mommy kill Mario over and over again. (I never said that I was that good. Sure it takes me15 times to pass a level, but I don’t care……)
By day, I have to be the responsible adult and make sure that people at my job are taken care of. At night, it’s nice to be a 10 year old again having your best friends be right there with you.
The 80’s rocked. The music, the movies, NOT the clothing, the toys, and of course……. the cartoons. I was in the store the other day looking at the toys, and they just don’t have anything cool like they used to. Especially now that the majority of the toys contain lead. I was remembering when my brother would be gone out with his friends; I would sneak and play with his Transformers. Optimus Prime was my favorite. I don’t think he ever knew. I’m sure that if he found out now, it would just be something else for him to be mad at me about. Oh well. I USED TO PLAY WITH YOUR TRANSFORMERS WHILE YOU WERE GONE. Take that. Wow. I can’t believe that have been I have been harboring that for this long. I know that you have found ridiculous reasons to hate your family, but if this is added to your list, than I have done my job.
Among the other 80’s shows that totally rocked, remember Smurfs? Jem and the Holograms? Thundercats? TMNT? Or even Rainbow Brite??? The 80’s have made history with having the most wanted toys. (Remember the Cabbage Patch riots? If not, check it out here.)
But of course, we did have the tickle me Elmo riot. Even so, everything in the 80’s was so much cooler. There are so many things in the 80’s that I miss, but one thing’s for sure, I wouldn’t want to go back in the 80’s because that would mean that I would have to do the growing up crap again and there is no way in hell that I will go back to junior high or high school. I would have to be locked up for how crazy I would go.
Even so, I still ♥ the 80’s…..
So I was on one of my favorite sites the other day, www.thinkgeek.com and I have to say, I have found one of the most interesting gadgets I have seen in a long time. At first I thought it was a joke. And then I actually read about it and realized it’s not. Introducing, the USB Pregnancy Test. That’s right. Pee on a stick and plug it in your computer to see your results. But it isn’t just about seeing if you are about to have an offspring or not. If it turns out that you’re not pregnant, this sucker detects 3 different kinds of hormone levels to let you know when is a good time to get your groove on. Now for those who’ve had to take the fun pregnancy tests, know how expensive they can be. Yes I know there are places that you can go and get it done for free, but not everyone likes to have needles poking in their arms and would prefer to see what the results are in the comfort of our own home. So here is a picture of what it actually looks like……
If this is something that you just can’t wait to get your hands on, check it out here. It’s actually not that bad of a price for what you get with it. It’s only $17.99 and you get 20 sticks. Some pregnancy tests are $17.99 for two measly sticks. And they don’t have the coolness to tell you what your other hormone levels are. If anyone actually gets one of these, I would love to hear about it………….
I ran into this as I was reading my google reader and I thought it was funny enough to post. I really like Star Wars. I don’t have everything memorized like other Star Wars fanatics out there, but it is still up there on my favorite movies of all times. I consider myself a big geek. That’s probably why I don’t have a lot of girl friends, but it’s all good. Hanging with the guys is in my comfort zone anyway. As I was saying, I consider myself a big geek and I collect a lot of “stuff”. This is most likely pushing it for me, but I find it funny enough that I just had to post it. If someone made one of these for me, I would still accept it and enjoy it for the fact that not only they took the time to make this for me, but it’s STAR WARS! Speaking of all this Star Wars fun, I think it’s about time to have a movie weekend. So any of you that are actually interested in this fun Star Wars activity, here is the official link…….
Ok so I think I am getting back in the swing of things. In the swing of things about my art that is. The ideas are starting to flow like crazy which I’m so excited about. I don’t have the same creativity that I did in High School, but I’ll take what I can get. Lately I have been wanting to do a picture of John Lennon. I haven’t done anything with The Beatles in quite awhile. They actually were my first inspiration when it came to draw portraits. I still remember the day when I started to draw the pictures off of the White Album. I was 16 and having an incredibly hard time with school and everything else for that matter and I locked myself in my room and just started drawing them. That’s when I first fell in love with drawing portraits. I still have a lot of work to do to get where I want to be at, but it’s all good. I will always find time for my passion. I wanted to share a link with another artist that I think is absolutely incredible. The first time I saw her art, I fell in love. I absolutely love her attention to detail. Linda Huber
is absolutely a genius. One of these days and with a lot of practice, I hope that I can be as good as her. Here are some examples of how amazing she is…….
