Are they serious?

Ok so here we go again... MSN is my homepage and I pull my most news from there. Ok well the headlines anyway LOL. But today they had this thing about Oprah and her opening up about her weight! Seriously now she talks about this ALL the time. This is not anything new with her. I do feel for her with it, because it can and will always be a struggle for me. But come on this is not anything she hasn't "opened" up with before. You have to know I can NOT stand this women. She is so superficial and just plain sad to me. I am so sick of hearing about her.

100 Greatest Rock Songs

VH-1 is running this this month. my ever so dreamy Bret (not sure if he spells it with one or two t's) Michaels is hosting it, and in my opinion any time to sit and look at him is a good time ;O). Boy did this bring back so many groups and songs I had long forgotten about. But there were also bands that I had never heard of. Songs that I went "how in the hell did this one make it" and songs I knew would be in there. But thanks to this I now have all my old songs that i loved in my queue on Rhaposdy. If you love rock and roll then you would probably love this.

Ok so this made me laugh

Last night we were watching TV and the trailer for Notorious came on. Not a movie I would pay money for or hell even throw on my Netflix's queue. Who the hell even cares about Biggy Small. But the thing that made me laugh was them talking about it being the BIGGEST blockbuster movie of the year. I sat there laughing and thinking OMG if this is the best one they are putting out then God help us all. Because seriously?? who even cares?

Mamma Mia

Mamma Mia is right LOL. Ok so we finally watched this movie. I will start with the positive about this movie. It does make you feel good. It was nice to see Meryl Streeps daughter (she is super cute). It does make you smile and "acting" was good. BUT the singing??? OMG where in the hell was Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson's head when they cast this cast knowing that it was a SINGING movie?? I LOVE ABBA!! I know they are hookey but I love them anyway ;O). But seriously, whoever told Meryl Streep she could sing needs some serious ear cleaning. And Pierce Bronson OMG he needs to just stick to be damn good looking for his age. Then there was the little women that played one of her best friends (sorry I have not a clue who she even was or what she has ever played in) when she sang, I seriously thought OMG someone switched this to a very bad American Idol audition!!! ALL my good ABBA song were butchered to say the least. I was so disappointed. I know there are some "big" names that can sing. Why the hell they cast these people is beyond me. Streep is one of my most favorite actresses ever. She is damn good. But she does NOT need to sing. I will give her credit that she was better than Pierce and that other chick but still. As my mom pointed out... Ethel Merman was known for her singing and she couldn't sing a damn lick either. I can't imagine the DVD sales on this one are going to be good. And now I understand why it was in and out of the theaters fast

New Year, New thoughts

Every year on New Years Eve or day i like to sit and think about the year that had gone by. Part of me likes having my birthday so close to the end because i can also reflect on that. This past year was overall a good year. Had some crazy ass fun times, had some very hard times (still trying to figure out if we should actually stay married or not), watched my son enter into the "drug" world (and not sure how the hell to get him out of it, since we are all stupid and don't know a damn thing) watched my daughter enter middle school and go from a sweet little girl into a child i don't even know anymore (thank you puberty LOL) and all kinds of highs and lows this year. It was a roller coaster for sure!! But then again when is it not and really when I look at it in the scheme of things, i think i prefer it that way. Life never gets boring around the "young" house for sure!

I am NOT one for making resolutions. I do not know anyone who actually sticks to them. But at the beginning of a year I like to think of things i would like to accomplish in the year to come. I say "like" because that way if it happens fine and if not, oh well there is always next year right? ;O)

So following in my little tradition here is what i would like to see happen: 1.) I would like to start reading again. I love to read and i go through seasons where i read a lot and then seasons where i don't. I have so many books (compliments of Borders. Because when i walk into a book store you better believe i am walking out with about 5 to 10 books) it is crazy. My goal is to get them all read this year without buying any new ones until i am done. (now that will be a challenge come summer when my kids have to have a book for summer reading) 2.) I would like to get this last 24lbs. the hell OFF my body. this has been one hell of a ride for me. But that which has gone has stayed gone, just need to get the last of it off. Why the hell it is so easy for guys to lose weight and not girls is beyond me and it frankly PISSES ME OFF! 3.) I would like to work on posting something each and every day. No matter how small or stupid it may be. I have this blog for a reason and i would like to make it worth the time. Don't even care if people read it or not. 4.) I want to watch movies that I have been saying" I really need to watch that someday" those would include "A River Runs Through It", "The Horse Whisperer" and there is one with Brad Pitt which for the life of me i can not think of the name of. I know it is way long but heard it was an awesome movie. There are others out there but my mind is drawing a complete blank. 5.) Spending and taking out more time for my kids. I seem to have fallen into "the computer is more important when i'm home" thoughts. I am going to try to have a game night each week. We have so many games that we all love to play. And hell to be honest we still have a few that we have never played. So going for a game night is good thing. 7.) Taking time each week to reflect and see what i would like to change in my life. Spending more time with God and less time with me. I really would like to know the true purpose of what the hell I am even doing on this earth!!

So that is it in a nut shell. There are a few other things I would like to do, but they are personal and things i need to work out for myself. Maybe as they are worked out i will share them, but then again maybe not ;O)

So I say a Happy New Year to all of you who do or don't read this LOL! I hope many blessing come to pass for us all in this new year we have to live through. Much success to you all through this crazy economy we have to face and can only hope that Obama can pull us through it.

Charles Barkley's Interesting DUI

This should win an Emmy. Charles Barkley was busted for a DUI in Arizona on New Year’s Eve after he blew a stop sign - trying to get oral sex in his car. “He told me that he ran the stop sign because he was in a hurry to pick up the girl I saw get in the passenger seat.” The officer continues: “He asked me to admit that she was ‘hot.’ He asked me, ‘You want the truth?’ When I told him I did he said, ‘I was gonna drive around the corner and get a b**w job. He then explained that she had given him a ‘b**w job’ one week earlier and said it was the best one he had ever had in his life.”

The report says when Barkley was taken to the station, he told one of the employees, “I’ll tattoo my name on your ass” if he helped “get him out of the DUI.” According to the report, “He laughed and then quickly corrected himself and said, ‘I’ll tattoo your name on my ass’ and then laughed again.” Barkley was also busted with a handgun in the vehicle.

John Travolta's 16-Year-Old Son Dies

This is just so sad.....Jett Travolta, the 16-year-old son of actor John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston, died Friday while on vacation with his family in the Bahamas. Jett had suffered a seizure at his family's vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island, said Michael Ossi, a lawyer for the family, in a statement through Travolta's rep. The teen hit his head in a bathtub Friday morning and was declared dead at Rand Memorial Hospital, police spokeswoman Loretta Mackey told the Associated Press. According to police, a caretaker had found Jett unconscious in the bathroom around 10 a.m. An autopsy is being pursued to determine the exact cause of death. Jett, who is the only son of Travolta, 54, and Preston, 46, had a history of seizures, according to Ossi. The couple also have a daughter, Ella Bleu, 8.The death was first reported by TMZ. In 2003 Preston told Montel Williams that when Jett was 2 he became "very, very ill, but it seemed like flu symptoms" before being diagnosed with Kawasaki disease. The condition, which usually affects children from ages 2 to 5, can cause inflammation of the arteries. Usually treatable, it can lead to lasting heart damage in rare cases. Preston, who also said Jett suffered from asthma, blamed household cleaners, fertilizers and pesticides for sparking the condition and lobbied for more detailed labeling on chemical products. She credited a detoxification program based on the writings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard with helping to improve Jett's health. In November Jett joined his dad in Paris, where Travolta has been shooting From Paris with Love. In 1994 the actor told PEOPLE how much he loved fatherhood. "I can't imagine what life would be like without Jett," he said. "After he was born and cleaned up, I held him for hours while Kelly slept. When they came to take him away for various tests, I said, 'No, you can't see him today. You'll have to do it another day.' I went a little nutsy."
