SAW THIS ON SNAVY'S BLOG (http://snavybean.wordpress.com) and I copied..... again.

What curse words do you use most?
Rarely do I use a curse word. But if I do let one slip it's probably hell or sh&t. If I get really mad and I'm at the point of no return, it's motherf&%ker!

Do you own an iPod?
No. I'm so behind the times.

What time is your alarm clock set to?
6:30 a.m. I do not wake to an alarm. I wake to the TV.

Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?
I want to be in the picture and hopefully it will be taken by a digital camera
so I can delete if I don't like the shot.

What was the last movie you watched?
Honestly, I don't know. Rarely do I watch movies. Now
if you asked what was the last show or TV program you watched
that would be easy. And that answer would be the Today Show this a.m.

What CD is currently in your player?
A mix CD I picked up at Target called 80's
New Wave Party mix

Do you prefer regular or chocolate milk?
To just drink one by themselves I would choose chocolate
but should I eat a cookie, a brownie, a piece of cake, toast with jelly,
it will have to be 2%

Has anyone told you a secret this week?
No, not this week.

When was the last time you had Starbucks?
2 weeks ago. Frappacuino (or however you spell it).

Can you whistle?
Yes. However I can't whistle the theme song to Andy Griffith.

Did you watch cartoons when you were little?
A little. I can remember watching Tom and Jerry. Bugs Bunny.
Some Disney. But cartoons have never really caught my
fancy. Now as an adult I do like Family Guy. Can't stand
The Simpsons or South Park.

Do you own any band t-shirts?
Of course, Rolling Stones. Led Zepplin, Bob Seger
and the Silver Bullet Band, and some other artists
like Tina Turner, Cher, Harry Connick Jr.
The last 3 I have put away as collectors items.
I should put the the Rolling Stones one away
becuz it did come from an actual concert (of which
my sis-n-law attended, not me)

What will you be doing in an hour?
Watching CNN, waiting for the Entertainment show to come on.
Gives an update of what all happened today in the entertainment
world. Gotta get my Anna Nicole/Britney Spears update, you know?

What was the last song you heard?
"Time (Clock of the Heart)" by Culture Club
I really like that song.
"Don't put your head on my shoulder
Sink me in a river of tears
This could be the best place yet
But you must overcome your fears
In time it could have been so much more
The time is precious I know
In time it could have been so much more
The time has nothing to show
CHORUS:Because time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel like they've got something real
But you and me we know they've got nothing but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time"

Last time you cried?
Last night watching that Bob Woodruff ABC special.
Did anyone else watch it?
Oh my...........it sure is a wake up call!

Desktop or laptop?
Desktop

What’s the weather like?
Cool. Partly cloudy skies. The moon was
so beautiful earlier as it poked out amongst the
clouds.

What were you doing an hour ago?
I was at a jewelry party and spent
too much money on a pair of earrings.
They are pretty tho.

How many hours of sleep do you need to function?
5-6 hours.

Do you eat breakfast daily?
No. I can't make myself eat in the morning
when I'm getting ready for work.
However, I do take an early lunch--11:00 a.m.

What did you do last night?
Chilled out at the house. An actual evening
that I didn't have to do anything!!!!

Do you use sarcasm?
Oh my goodness, yes.

Do you sleep on your side/back/stomach?
I start off on my side and always wake up on
my back.

Do you watch the news?
Sometimes. Most news I get is via the internet.
Watching it sometimes just overwhelms me.
It is usually so bad, violent and it scares me.
I feel so helpless.

Do you have any scars?
Who doesn't? I have so many scars that I carry in
my heart, my soul. Broken hearts, abuse, mis-trust.
I find myself leary but I still love and try to trust.
I also have this physical scar on my left leg.
It is so small but once when me and my brother
(who is now deceased) were little he mistakenly
stabbed a pencil in my leg, right above my knee.
And then there is the little scar where I had
some skin removed for a biospy. Which came back
as hives but it wasn't hives!!!!!
I also have a few acne scars and chicken pox scars
but thank goodness for makeup. They are not
bad or huge but I see them!!!!!

I COPIED THIS EXACTLY FROM:
From http://sat-8.blogspot.com/
SO THIS IS LOLA H. ASKING THE QUESTIONS.
I'M JUST DOING THE ANSWERING.
MY ANSWERS IN ITALIC & IN RED.

Sat-8 wine, fashion, song

it's oscar weekend, and i just got a few beautiful bottles of full-bodied reds to pop into my wine refrigerator for the festivities! here we go!

1. wine: which do you prefer ... reds or whites, or perhaps something different, like a dessert/ice wine?
I like wine. Except White Zinfandel (Bleck!).
I tend to drink reds: merlot, cabernet, shiraz, pinot noir. My fav is cheap little bottle by
Folie A' Deux Menage A Trois A mix of cab, merlot and shiraz (I think)
De-lish!!!
In the summer I tend to drink more white. Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay.

2. beer: as a guinness drinker, i prefer my beer to be in the "non-see thru" variety. The Husband prefers harp & bass. i'm convinced his co-workers would drink hamm's if it were served to them. what kind of beer, if any, do you prefer?
I prefer New Castle Brown Ale. Kirin. Stella Artois. Becks Dark. Red Stripe. J W Dundee's Honey Brown. Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. Give me a beer with FLAVOR. No light beers for me.

3. spirits: are you a hard-liquor drinker? if so, what kind(s)? if not, why not?
Ketel One, Grey Goose or Level Vodka. Woodford Reserve. Makers Mark. Crown Royal. Bicardi 151. Seagrams 7. Canadian Club.

4. my wine bar opens in a few weeks, and The Husband thinks i have too many people to invite to the grand opening. should i brown-nose and keep my bosses on the guest list, or should i forget them and just stick with my good friends (the bosses will probably overhear people talking about the opening, unofortch).
Stick with good friends.

5. when i drink a good red, i LOVE to have a rich, thick, heavy slab of parmesan to eat while enjoying my wine. when you drink alcohol (or in the past, if you are currently a non-drinker), what types of snacks or foods do you like to have while you drink ... and are their certain 'pairings' you prefer?
Of course, if I'm drinking red wine I love a nice filet mignon.
But most the time if I'm sippin' wine. I'm just sippin' wine. No snacks for me.

6. are you going to watch the oscars this weekend? why or why not?7. i love celeb fashion, and love the snarky site "go fug yourself" even more. are you interested in any of the red carpet styles that happen at awards shows?
I probably will tune into the Oscars. I can't stand to sit there and watch only the
Oscars. I will probably flip between channels. I have to see Ellen Degeneres and see the
big winners. I do love the red carpet fashion. I will be watching the pre-Oscar red carpet
shows like on E! Entertainment television (one of my fav channels).

8. so, the angels sang, the planets aligned, and my future second ex-husband is touring again with his old band, The Police. i was too young to see a Police concert but have seen every single one of Sting's concerts since he went solo. even if it involves resurrecting Jim Morrison or Bob Marley from the dead, which musical artist/group would you die to see live?
Like anyone who is reading this is not gonna guess my answer.....................
ELVIS PRESLEY, of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so I broke down today. No, not my car but me.
I couldn't take it anymore!!!!!! I was about to pull a
Britney Shears (LOL) and shave off all my hair or atleast pull
it out. That's how I get when my hair is getting on my
ever lasting nerve. So happily I sit here now with my
freshly cut and colored hair. I feel like
a whole new person. Isn't it amazing how good you feel
when you get your haircut? I actually feel I can look
at myself in the mirror now.
Got those wolly worms above my eyes waxed too.
My eyebrows actually have a
shape again. Note to all those women out there that wax--
I use that wondeful Bikini Zone topical *analgesic gel
on my newly waxed and severly red
eye brow area and viola! redness and swelling gone.
I love that gel!!!!!
(*analgesic--now that's a funny word to type out!)
****************************************************
Speaking of Britney Spears, what is wrong with you girl????????
Now I realize she won't be reading that question since she
checked into rehab for a third time!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh to be a young celebrity.
No thanks!!!
*****************************************************
Now speaking of celebrity,
anybody been watching that Anna Nicole Smith hearing
going on in Florida?
What a circus.
I am glad that they finally decide that
Anna is to be buried next to her son in the Bahamas.
So sad. Looks like ole Anna still isn't going to
rest in peace with all the fighting going on over
her baby and estate.
****************************************************
Had my yearly mammogram today. That's how I started off
my day, being half naked and some stranger positioning
my boobs on some big, intimidating, cold machine
to squeeze my breast into pancakes to take pictures.
What women have to go thru!!!! Yes, I know it
is for the good. I'm am lucky to be able to have
mammograms. It's just not fun and I don't envy
women who have are smaller in size. I can't imagine
the pain they must go thru to get a picture.
So please say a little prayer, cross your fingers or
send me positive vibes that everything with turn out
okay.
So on that note and in honor of having my
mammogram today I have posted a little, PG rated,
very tame HNT:

*****************************************************
Hey tomorrow is Friday and I am very happy about that.
Hope you all have a great weekend.
If you feel like sharing, got any fun plans????

Happy Ash Wednesday!!!
The beginning of lent is upon us.
Alot of people give up things for lent.
The priest of my parish made a really good statement
about this. He said "if you are going to give
something up and it isn't going to bring you
any closer to Christ, than why do it"
Good point.
So this year instead of giving something up.
I going to do something more.
I bought this most awesome book called
Lent and Easter/Wisdom from Pope John Paul II
Compiled by John V. Kruse.
This book provides daily reflection for Ash Wednesday
through the Second Sunday of Easter.
Thoughts from Pope John Paul II are supported
by scripture, prayers and spritual growth activities.
This book is so wonderful and this is what I will do
the 40 days of Lent leading up to Easter, I will
try to grow closer to Christ. I will do this everyday.
I will make time. I think this is so much more than let's say giving
up chocolate.
So if you are interested, you can click on the button below
for daily Lent meditations and activities.


And here is a picture of my ashes that I proudly wore today.

(YOU SEE MY NEW BLOG LOOK????? IT'S ALL DUE TO ONE UTTERLY TALENTED, AMAZINGLY CREATIVE, BEAUTIFUL LADY NAMED
JEANNIE GRRL!!! SHE ROCKS!)


TMI (from tmituesday.blogspot.com)

Would you rather...


1. be famous now & forgotten after you die or forgotten now & famous after you die, forever? & Why?

I'd rather be famous after I die. Why would I want paparrazi stalking me and people scrutinizing every move I make now? I think being a 'nobody' now entitles me to a little peace. Being a 'nobody' entitles me to the simple joys of life like walking down a city sidewalk and no one really recognizes me or bothers me. Who knows how crazed I would become if I was famous? You know, so many famous are just deluded and don't have their feet on the ground. I don't want to be surrounded by 'yes' men and live in a bubble.


2. give blood or read Hamlet? & Why?

I think giving blood would be easier and much more beneficial. Sorry Shakespeare.


3. be extravagantly rich, but hated by others or be well loved and admired, but dirt poor? & Why?

I have to say be well loved and admired, but dirt poor. Money isn't everything and I sure would hate to be hated. Money definitely couldn't comfort me!!!! I need love too much!!!!


4. be imprisoned for the rest of your life or kill someone? & Why?

Be imprisoned for the rest of my life. I can't even imagine taking someones life. Life is too precious. I can only remember one time in my life where I was so angry that I actually entertained the idea of killing someone and that person abused me. I think I did something much harder than killing them---I forgave them.


5. fight Mike Tyson or talk like him? & Why?

Now this is a hard one. No offense Mike but I really don't want to talk like you.
Maybe I would just stand there and take one mind numbing blow. That's all it would take.
I wonder if I would even survive it? So maybe I would just enter the ring and let him barely tag me and fall flat to the bottom of the mat. Fight over. He wins.

Hi all!
I am alive.
Started getting sick Wednesday. Coughed all night.
Then Thursday, as the day went on, I started
feeling worse as the minutes ticked by.
To home I went and once I soaked in the tub
I felt even worse!
Didn't make it to work on Friday.
The sad thing is on Saturday my office
had it's first ever Saturday clinic and
guess who stepped up to the plate to work????
Yes! That would be me!!!!
Little did I know when I made that decision
a month or so ago that I would feel so awful.
Well, I drug my body from the bed to the office.
I really don't know how I did it....but I did it.
I had the doc working write me out a prescription
for antibiotics. (No sense going to some other doc
when I new what would help me).
(FYI--I work for retinal surgeons not internal medicine
doctors so I don't have the docs write me out
alot of prescriptions. I feel funny about doing that
but on this occasion I felt the great need to get better
fast and it always makes me feel good to save money
since I don't have to pay a copay to go see another
doc just so they can write me a prescription!!!!!)
The doc wrote me a prescription for a Z pack.
I have never had a Z pack. It's working.
I did make it to work on Monday. I have a horrible
cough. I still feel a bit disoriented. But I am able to function.

I have to say, I felt so bad. Body aches, head throbbed, cough, sneezing,
head congested yet running thru my eyes and nose.
I felt miserable. I felt so mad at this 'bug', cold, sinsusitis or
whatever 'possessed' me.
I felt 'possessed' by the devil. I found myself so angry.
I said hateful things to my husband. I could hear myself
saying these ugly, hateful things and wondering where
did that come from? As if I had no control over what I was
saying.
Terrible aren't I?
Poor guy not only had to deal with my hatefulness but
my oozing, sneezing, coughing, sweat pant wearing,
hair tightly pulled back, no makeup wearing self!

Okay, so I'm better. After all I am actually writing
a blog entry.

Hope all is well with you all and I hope to come by and
check out what all you have been sharing.
Hope you all are well.

Guess what? About 4 weeks till Spring!!!!!!!!!
I say bring it on!
HAPPY FAT TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I
FEEL
LIKE

i have crawled to the computer to write this.......i'm sick.

"Like a night without starlight, so is a life with out love"--unknown

"Love--
If you have it, you don't need to have anything else,
and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter what else
you have"-- Sir James M. Barrie

"Love is a fruit in season at all times,
and within reach of every hand"--Mother Teresa

"It is by loving and being loved that one can come
nearest to the soul of another"--George McDonald

"Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is
invisible--it cannot be seen or measured,
yet it is powerful enough to transform you in
moment, and offer you more joy than any
material possession could"--Barbara De Angelis

"Where love is concerned, too much is not enough" -- Pierre De Beaumarchais

"Love is patient. Love is kind.
It is not jealous,
it does not rejoice in wrongdoing,
but rejoices in the truth.
It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things. Love never fails"--1 Corinthians 13

Okay, I will admit it---I do love Valentine's Day.
It is just a special day dedicated to LOVE.
Not just love of my husband, but LOVE of everything
and everybody.
I know some seem to cringe when Valentine's rolls around
but I don't, never have, EVEN when I was single.
I have always had someone and something to LOVE.
My friends, my family, my life, my blessings.
I try to remind people that Valentine's day just
isn't JUST for lovers and children. It isn't JUST about
getting flowers and chocolate.
Take this day to remember what ALL you love!!!!!!!!

I feel like I'm dragging today. I see the finish line (that being Friday) and I feel I am almost there...........can I make it? That's how tired I feel today.

It was inevitable............I FINALLY switched over to Beta Blogger or the New Blogger. Everytime I logged in 'it' tried to get me to switch. Then today on my break I was trying
to moderate my comments and would not let me until I switched. What was wrong with the
'old' blogger??

Okay, I have to mention it. I know everyone has already heard that Anna Nicole Smith died today. I have to say it did shock me I don't want to make fun of her as I have already heard so many doing. I know we will be bombarded with the news of her death. It will be on every TV station, news program and magazine cover till we are sick of hearing about it. I just think it's so sad.

What does it mean when a person stops by your blog and doesn't really leave a true comment but just leaves their blog address????? Is this just an invitation to read their blog? And/or is it just their 'calling card' to let you know "Hey I was here" ??????

Also, the other day I got an anonymous comment from someone who told me of this Edgar Cayce 'thing" to check out. They mentioned to sign up for "Think on these Things". The person also mentioned that they have had no relapses with Multiple Sclerosis thanks to Cayce. I thought this was a remarkable anonymous comment. So with the help of Google I went about trying find what this anonymous was talking about---what was this signing up for "Think on these things?" Was it a website about Cayce? Come to find out it's a book. A handy pocketsize companion of Cayce's affirmations. So I thought why not check it out? I ordered it. I had been meaning to get a book on Edgar Cayce and so I will start with this.
So thank you Anonymous. (Should you be reading this!!)

You know what I am dying to try??? No? Pama Pomegranate Liquer.
Here is a tasty recipe right up my alley:
1 oz PAMA Pomegranate Liquer
3 oz champagne
Pour PAMA & champagne into a shaker over ice. Strain into champagne flute.
Easy enough, huh?

Since I am rambling (again)........have you heard about the Allerca Cat? It's the world's first
hypoallergenic feline. Cost---$4000.

Did you know that people who drink atleast 3 glasses of juice a week are 76% less likely
to develop Alzheimers disease??

Every since it turned cold in KY (17 degrees when I got in my car this a.m.), I have been telling myself to get up earlier so I can stop and get myself a good cup of coffee? (Coffee is not something I drink regularly) Guess what? I haven't gotten myself a cup of coffee yet.

I hate Nyquil. I took it last Saturday night to help my coughing (due to the minor case of sinusitis I had again) and I never slept peacefully. I had those awful lucid dreams. The dreams that happen when you aren't quite awake and you aren't in solid sleep mode. I woke up feeling worse than I felt the night before. I vow to not take it again.

I don't know if I ever mentioned that I like to wear lip gloss. I just fond out that this company, Tarte, has come out with an Inside Out Vitamin lip gloss that delivers a dose of clinically proven complexion-refining acai, green tea and grape seed extract. Now this is good news for a girl like me who likes her lips to look like she has just eaten a greasy pork chop! Ha Ha!

Okay, last but not least Niki at niki-emotion3.blogspot asked to see a pic of me. So here you go.
This pic was taken May 2006. My hair is a bit longer now and no highlights since I colored it back darker for winter. But this is me, in all my glory.

I Dream Of Jeannie
I know you remember this show.
Well, If Jeannie was real,
and was
right here,
right now,
I would ask her to fold her arms,
nod her head and do her little "blink"
and blink me right back here:

It's been awhile since I let myself ramble about this, that and the other. But hey! The title of my blog is it's all about Nothing and Everything.....so I'm gonna let it rip.
It's gonna be long winded.

*You know when I take a shower or a bath, I always clean the right side of my body first. When I shave, right leg leg first.

*I think Tyra Banks looks good. I don't think she's America's Next Top Waddle.

*I can not eat a banana out of the peel. I have to cut it up.

*Even tho I feel I have a strong faith, I still like sex and consider myself a sexual person. I just keep that part of me a bit subdued except with my husband. I see real intersting memes about sex and I want to answer them but I don't becuz I feel I would be ashamed of myself for being so open. Yet, I am a straight up person and pretty much speak my mind, but when it comes to some things I keep it private. I guess you could say, I like to have some mystery and I like for people to wonder about some things......leave some things to the imagination.

*Did you know that they have come up with a way to infuse doughnuts with caffeine. Now that's all I need in my Krispy Kremes!

*Superbowl Sunday is tomorrow. I am for the Indianapolis Colts. But if the Bears win, I will be happy for them. I wish it wasn't Superbowl Sunday. I wish it was Superbowl Saturday so I could have some fun. I love Superbowl. The sport. The commercials. The half-time show. The excitement. The finger foods. Drinking an ice cold beer or two or three. But I don't let myself drink the night before I work. I don't sleep. And I sure hate feeling fatigued the next day from no sleep. Especially on a Monday. I do have some self-control. I know what you are thinking. Why can't I just drink one beer or something non-alcoholic and enjoy the game?? Well, the game comes on 6:30 p.m. and most parties start earlier, I do like to have some drinks and I want to be in on the fun and yes, sometimes those beers and drinks do make it more fun. I really don't like to be around people who are drinking and I'm not. So I stay at home and watch it on the tube. All the commotion at partys usually get me all hyped up and it takes me so long to un-wind. Guess I will be at home watching it on the tube again. It's really not that bad watching it at home. I actually can pay better attention to the game, the commercials, the half-time show since it will definitely be alot quieter at home.

*Did you know that the Monday after Superbowl is the most called in day for work places?

*I have sinusitis again. YUK.

*I took my nails off this week. Yes, I had acrylic over my nails (not tips). I feel naked. I had been getting my nails done for a year. Amazingly my nail beds look really good considering what all they do to your nails to put acrylic and/or tips on. They are just really short and very plain. I always felt like even when I didn't have any makeup on or I was in my sweats, my nails always looked like they were ready to go out!!!

*Lately, I haven't been feeling like going out on the weekends. Is this the winter blues? I have felt so tired and so glad to be home where I don't have to do anything but be lazy. Plus, in the winter I do not tan. I give my skin a break from the sun and especially the tanning bed. When I tan I feel better about myself. I feel energized. I have clearer skin. So right under my jawl I have been broke out. I have oily skin and I hate this!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know I'm told having oily skin is good becuz you stay younger lookin' longer (so 'they' say) but I hate that I have this unattractive acne. The tanning bed clears it up. I know the tanning bed is not healthy for me. But neither is taking Accutane (what a dermatologist suggested) where I would have to completely stay out of the sun and have my liver enzymes tested monthly or bi-monthly. My acne is not severe but it sure does make my self confidence wane. I sometimes just want to hide. I have been unable to find a make-up or 'spackle' to use to cover it up. I have to mention that it could be so much worse but to me it is so embarrassing. Hopefully, with this new expensive makeup that is suppost to be alot better for my skin and with the use of my skin care products I can get it in 'check' atleast till tanning bed time rolls around.
I miss my tan.

*Sometimes I feel torn with my own expectations of myself. I am too hard on myself. This I know. I stress. I feel guilt. I get nervous. I live with it. I do think that admitting is the first step to solving my problems.

*Next weekend I am going to see this lady who is called Anne, a lay apostle. She says she has and is receiving messages from Jesus. You know, I don't know nor does anyone know if she is legit, but what if she really is? I want to believe her. I don't want to pass judgement. I try not to judge anyone. I would be lying if I said I didn't sometimes. But I also try to realize what I'm doing and try to correct it. I don't want to be judged. So treat others as I want to be treated. Sometimes that is hard when you think they are doing something that is hurting them or is not right for them. But we all make mistakes and we aren't going to stop making mistakes. So we should all be loved regardless.

*The other night on one of my favorite channels (The History Channel) I watched this program called Decoding the Past. It talked about Nostradomus and a few other people in history that was said to have a gift for seeing the future. One person in particular who really caught my attention and who I have heard about before was Edgar Cayce, the sleeping prophet. I just think his story and his life are just wild!!!! I find myself believing he is legit. Unlike some people who I can't help but think are frauds (example: James Van Praagh).
If you want to read more about this Edgar Cayce you can google him or check out this link: http://www.edgarcayce.org/edgar-cayce1.html
I think Edgar Cayce is very interesting.

*I am not one who is in to tarot, psychics, palm reading, fortune telling, astrology, etc. I have never had my so called fortune told. I have read my horoscope for fun. I have many astrology books that I thought were entertaining but I never lived my life by them. I thought some things that they said were dead on and then NOT!
I have had my palm read by an Indian man who I worked with. He just grabbed my hand and read it. Said that my health line was strong but as I got older that I would have a lot of little illnesses. I didn't need to know that!!! He also said on the side of your palm is a line that appears when you have been overseas. He said that I had been overseas and I have. I have had tarot done but it was by my sis-n -law and I don't feel it was done right. I have no desire for it to be done right.
When I was younger I did play with a Ouija board several times. I do believe it talked to us. I do believe it is real and very evil. I do believe there are people out there who have psychic abilities. I do believe that they are rare and that they are a gift that should not be abused. I do not want to know my future. I want it to just happen. Hopefully, I can help determine the path it goes. That's where my faith definitely comes into play.

*How does one become a self-less person? Without concern for oneself; unselfish? I think that in this world and especially in such an instant gratifying society that is a very hard thing to do. I want to worry less about myself and care more for others. Yes, I care about others but I am not Mother Teresa and I need to have more Mother Teresa in me.

*Sometimes I am so torn---I have this wonderful, great, faith and then I'm in my car listening to some catchy song on the radio and I'm car dancing and the song is saying" Smack that ass, all on the floor, smack that ass, gimme me some more, smack that ass, till you get sore" Does this make me a hypocrit? I know this is just a song but sometimes I think I'm polluting myself. Do I really need to be listening to some guy sing about smacking some ass? Evidently I do since I've heard the song a jillion times and I still don't turn the station!

*Why am I so sleepy? I drank a highly caffeinated drink? What is wrong with me?

*Okay enough of the rambling.
