Real Human Tragedy
What do we do when something like Hurricane Katrina happens? Where do you even begin to understand the toll it will eventually take to clean up, bury the dead, and rebuild? Its so sad....too sad. And now they have to deal with looters....come one people, I can understand taking some food and water, but playstations, and t.v.'s? Thats sick to me. Taking advantage of others in a time of great destruction is absolutely disgusting. And will other countries offer to help us as we have so often offered and given help to those that have been destoyed by acts of GOD or acts of WAR. Probably not, as Americans we've always depended on ourselves to pick up and dust off and start all over again. Thats one of the things I love about this country, that minus the small few who think only of themselves, when faced with something like this, we truly band together and show the world how its done!!!

Our Trip to the Zoo....
We went to the Zoo yesterday. It rained all day long....I think that made it a little bit more of an adventure. But towards the end, I was definetly tired of being rained on....and ready to go home. We went with Libby, Cliff, Pheobe, Libby's mom Brenda, her dad Chris, and her brothers fiance Chandra and her daughter Marissa. We got to see the elephants, which I loved, and some beautiful wallrus and sea lions. Emerson got to pet a goat and a sow, and we saw a pigmy goat start having her baby. Hopefully we can go again on a sunny day.

Funeral Blues
This is one of my favorite poems. You may have heard it in the movie Four Weddings and a Funeral, spoken beautifully by John Hannah. Its by W.H. Auden
Funeral Blues
Stop all the clocks, cut off the phone,
Prevent the dog from barking for a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let airplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling in the sky the message he is dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my north, my south, my east and west,
My working week, and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song,
I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now, put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean, and sweep up the wood,
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

My new Whip....tee hee hee
Emmy got a new ride...so did I...Check out Chester...he is my super charged cow. The flames are lickin' him like the devil....plus its cheap on gas, as Chester here produces his own methane!!! Wouldn't it be fabulous if they figured out a way to make gas outta dung....I think thats something scientist oughta work on.
I'm expecting lots of flowers, and casseroles.....
This supposedly is how long I have to live. I hopI'm not sure April 12th is gonna work for me...but just in case...clear your calendars.

On The Road Again
Emerson is driving now. Mom got her a purple Power Wheels, Barbie Jeep. The thing is huge, and I have no idea where I'm gonna keep it at. But Emmy loves it, and thats all that really matters. Here is a picture of her driving down our sidewalk. She drives like a maniac, so she should fit in well on the streets of Terre Haute. It also plays some really crappy Barbie music that as already gotten on my nerves, after one day. Well thats kids toys for ya. I'm not sure its all that fair that Emersons car is nicer than mine. What do you all think?

a 1000 beautiful things....
sitting here listening to annie lennox (a true goddess of music) and i thought i would share a favorite song of mine;
everday i write the reasons why i still believe they do exist (a thousand beautiful things)
and even though its hard to see the glass is full and not half empty (a thousand beautiful things)
so...light me up like the sun, to cool down with your rain
i never want to close my eyes again, never close my eyes, never gonna close my eyes
i thank you for the air to breath, the heart to beat, the eyes to see again (a thousand beautiful things)
and all the things thats been and done, the battles won, the good and bad in everyone (this is mine to remember)
so...here i go again, singing by your window, picking up the pieces of whats left to find
the world was meant for you and me to figure out our destiny (a thousand beautiful things)
to live, to die, to breath, to sleep, to try to make your life complete
so...light me up like the sun, to cool down with your rain, i never want to close my eyes again, never gonna close my eyes
that is everything i have to say (thats all i have to say)

Listen to your body, poop on the potty!!!
The misadventures of Potty Training, Volume 1
My 2 year old daughter Emerson is potty training. She likes to sit on the potty, likes to pull her diaper off, likes to wipe.....the only thing missing is the actual poop or piss in the pot!! This frustrates me for a few reason, one of which is I have to usually sit on the "big people" toilet while she sits and gets up, and sits and gets up, and this goes on for about 30 minutes. Now, my kids is very smart, and I know she understands what to do in the potty. But I have discovered that it is more important to her to make mommy spaz out. The other thing is, everytime we go sit on the potty, we have to put a new diaper or pull-up on. This has become a little expensive, as Emmy's little tushie is sensitive and she can only wear huggies. Toilet paper has become a commodity in my house too. I've had to start hiding it on the shelf above the toilet or else next time I go in there to drop a deuce.....I might get a little surprise. Emerson is a champion pooper, she can make grown men blush. All I want for Christmas, is my baby girl to poop and pee in the potty!!! Are you listening Santa, cause if not, I'm sending a first class shit rag straight to you, pal!!!!

Talk about Human Vomit!!
Ok, curiosity got the better of me. Normally I would never go to a web site that advocates for either, people against the death penalty, or Scott Peterson. But I had heard that Scott the Snot had a blog that was maintianed by the Canadian Coalition Agains Capital Punishment or someother hoo haa name like that. GIVE ME A FRIGGIN BREAK!!!!! Number one, Scott Peterson is as guilty as I am a smart ass!! And how dare he use pictures of himself and Laci to promote his so called innocence. When I see those pictures, all I can thi nk of is how Laci held so much promise in her marriage, and Scott was probably thinking about the next woman he was gonna cheat on her with. Number two, what business is it of the Canadians to tell us what we should do with our convicted murderers? We don't tell them how to cook their bacon, so they shouldn't be telling us how to cook ours. The whole Peterson Family makes me want to barf!! Scott can Rott....hehehe that rhymes....right next to Richard Ramirez, That peice of shit Paul Westerfield, and whomever else is hanging out there...too bad ol' Charlie Manson got sent to Corchran!!!
PS..I am disturbed at the amount of media the Natalee Holloway Case has recieved, and why the news has chosen to let up on the cases of Lataoyia Figeuroa, who was 5 months pregnant, and Evelyn Hernandez, who also was pregnant and found decapitated, the same time as Laci Peterson went missing. Natalee Holloways case is tragic, but how is it more important than that of a pregnant mother? What really gets me is the news reports on this oversight, but still does nothing to bring as much attention to the missing person cases of minorities. God I thought we lived in a more enlightened age. What a doofus I am, huh?

10 Things to Ponder.....
10. Life is Sexually Transmitted
09. Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die
08. Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horney. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich!!
07. Give a person fish, and you can feed them for a day; teach a person how to use the internet, and they won't bother you for weeks
06. Some people are like a slinky, not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when they tumble down the stairs
05. Health nuts are going to feel stupid one day, laying in the hospital dying of nothing
04. All of us could learn a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism
03. Why does a slight tax increase cost you $200, but a substantial tax cut saves you thirty cents
02. In the 60's people took drugs to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take prozac to make it normal.
01. How is it that we know where one cow with mad-cow disease is, among millions and millions of cows; but we have no idea where thousands and thousands of terrorist and illegal immigrants are located. Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in Charge of That.
Blippidy Bloo Blah Blay......
So many things are going on lately. My mind is just swirling with things. I just could go nuts. Things are still up in the air with Marty, which frustrates the piss out of me. Emmy is going through the terrible two's, which on its own could make me go nutty. My car is on its last leg. Any moment now, it will croak. Its hot!! Traffic sucks, I can't lose any weight, I'm broke...have I forgotten anything? Probably, but I will just save that for another bitch session!!!

GET YOUR RELIGION ON!!
I'm not a super religious person, I believe in GOD and JESUS. But I don't believe in alot of the hype that surrounds alot of our more popular religions. Especially Church. If you want to go to Church, then feel free, I on the other hand, don't believe that THE LORD hears me less if I pray and ask for forgiveness from the comfort of my own home. Maybe I'm not comfortable around large groups of people. Maybe I don't want to feel like a hypocrite, and be like some of those people that only find religion on Sunday, and then head on over to the IHOP!! Anyway, I believe that God put us on this earth to do with it what we will, hoping that the better parts of our nature might take over, and with that in mind he has placed all sorts of different obstacles in our way, that test us. Sometimes we pass and sometimes we fail...but as long as we respect the laws of GOD, and ask for forgiveness, he will love us anyway. Remember, here we must live by the rules of GOD and MAN, but once we leave this earth, there will be one final judgement put apon us.....will you be comfortable with what you've done with your life?
Something Funny I saw today...
I saw a bumper sticker today that read: Kids in the front seat of cars cause accidents. Accidents in the back seat cause kids!! I thaught that was funny. I am always on the look out for original bumper stickers, ones that aren't like everyother one out there. If any of you guys know of any funny ones....please pass em on.
A different kind of anniversary
As a lover of true crime, I am reminded that today marks the 36th anniversary of The Tate/Labianca Murders, otherwise known as Helter Skelter. If any of you are interested in knowing a little more about these crimes, as well as the victims, and the murderers...please visit . There are some graphic photos, so be warned. But there is also alot of insight into what took place there. Check it out all you hip cats. http://users.adelphia.net/~mansonmurders/

The pimple from hell
As if my week hasn't been horrible enough...I seem to have developed a tumor of a pimple on my forehead. It has taken on a life of its own. I would name it, but then I think I would have to buy it toys, pet it and feed it. There might even be a small family of evil fairies in living in there....as it has changed shape a few times. Should I be worried?
I Was Robbed......AGAIN!!!
Ok....this has got to be some kinda bad karma or something. I must have been reeeeally bad in a previous life. My radio was stolen out of my car AGAIN last night. Second time in about a month. At least this time they had to put some effort into it and actually break in my car. I mean do the people in this town thing that I have lots of money, and I'm just faking it, driving my 90 honda accord. I do live in Terre Haute, Indiana, and people around here will steal anything that isn't bolted down. And sometimes they even put forth the extra effort, and steal it anyway. Or maybe I'm just not supposed to have music in my car.
