Karaoke

That's Japanese for "Make an ass out of yourself singing!"

We went out and got the Karaoke Revolution game for Wii today. I am now hoarse. I realize I have baaaaaad phlegm in my chest. I haven't sang with any sort of intent since college. I haven't had vocal lessons since college either. It shows. My kids and I are having fun though. HHH is trying to play along with us, but he says he knows he can't sing, so why have a gamrtell him what he already knows? No prob. He can video tape the rest of us looking like complete and utter doofusses! For example....

So there ya go! Wanna good laugh, just visit our YouTube channel for some of whati have dubbed Moron Karaoke Theater!

Charlie Brown,... That's Me.

Yeah.... I'm the Charlie Brown this year. Christmas isn't meaning a whole heck of a lot to me outside of being with my family. This year, even with all of the good, has been a pain in the ass. 2010 can't get here fast enough for me so I can kiss this year good bye. I would, however, like to give Jolly old Saint Nick a short list of what I would really like for Christmas.....

#1- For people who mean something to stop dying! This isn't a hard one. There are so many useless freaking pieces of shit on this planet. Why can't some of those fuckers die instead of Him, Him and Her?? It makes no sense to me.

#2- I want a dog for Christmas. Yes, just like the other Charlie Brown Cartoon. It has been over 2 months now and I am still crying over the loss of my pet Toby. I go every day seeing something that reminds me of him. I saw a woman yesterday walk in two EXACT Toby copies. I sighed. Even the cat misses Toby still. He's gained 4 pounds, so I guess he eats his feelings like I do.

#3- Homes. For people who need them. People who, through no fault of their own, are being thrown out on the street because of job loss, catastrophic illness, or some other horrible thing. WTF?? I know we worship the almighty dollar in this country, but what about serving your fellow man? How does dumping children on the street serve anyone? Greedy fuckers need to live some of their own medicine.

#4- Peace. I'll take any kind of peace. World peace. Mental Peace. Hell, just peace in general! (This is where HHH would pop in with a joke about "gettin' a piece"!) There is just too much rage and stupidity out there right now. I see it on the road when I am driving, on the news I watch in the morning before work, everywhere! Mofo's need to calm the hell down out there.

#5- Love. I want real love. Unconditional, enveloping love. No strings, no I love you one minute, I hate you the next. Love is constant. Love forgives. Love makes it better when the world is bad. Everyone needs love.

So there you have it. My short list of what I'd like for Christmas. And to all of you out there, may you get everything you have on your lists this year. Merry Christmas.

Ugh.

This week is going to kill me. I can feel it. On Monday the new girl we hired quit. Just like that. No hello, good bye, go to hell, or nothing. She said she wasn't getting enough hours. Um.... HELLO? It was only her second day! Fuck you very much.

So with no new girl I went out and did a full slate of houses today. It sucked ass. All the houses were H-U-G-E and dirty as hell. One house had so much damn dog hair on the floor I could have made a new dog. On a better note, I got $35 in tips.

Tomorrow I have to do another full slate of houses.... with a brand new girl. She was the other candidate whom Boss Lady didn't pick because the first girl had more experience. Yeah. We see how that turned out.

Is it 2010 yet!

55 Lighter.

This was last December, 2008. It was almost a year to the day. 365 days.

I was a little larger back then. The boy hides a whole lot of gut in that photo there. Even though I was all smiley and perky in the picture, I was still self conscious about how I looked.

Enter 2009. 365 days later. Well, 365 days and 55 pounds later!! I am still self conscious, but not so much anymore.

I was in my derby outfit today. ALL day. At Universal. In both parks. Yeah, people looked at me funny, and yeah, a few even giggled, but for once, I didn't even notice. It just never bothered me.

Looking at the photos side by side, I can see the difference. My face is thinner, my arms look smaller,and if you could see it in this photo, my legs are smaller too. Hard to believe that in 365 days I lost 55 pounds, but I did. Not by doing anything freaky or scary, but just by doing what was right. Eating better, exercising, and paying attention to my Celiac's Disease.

What a difference a year makes!

We're Here!

Right now, as we speak, I am comfortably ensconced in a 10th floor hotel room with my family. I worked all day and then came home to pack. HHH had graciously done laundry so I got everything together, we packed up, and were gone.

There wasn't too much traffic, only 2 really crappy accidents on I-4 including the 5 car pile up I tweeted about. That one was U-G-L-Y, but at least it was in the other lanes. Not blocking us! So we made excellent time getting here to O-Town.

Now, if you didn't know, there is a little get together tomorrow called CISSACON happening at the Red Coconut down in City Walk. We're meeting up to welcome CissaFireheart back to Florida from the wintry depths of the Great White North! Come join us tomorrow night at 7:30pm and lets show Cissa some warm Florida Hospitality!

And now I need to shower and go to bed! Good night!

That's Disturbing.

I saw something this morning that just kind of gave me the creeps, and I'm not talking about the guy who gets his newspaper in the morning in his underpants. I was watching CNN while the kids were getting ready and a new Michelin commercial came on. It was a cartoon one that opened with a scene of all kinds of run over bunnies, raccoons, and other such small animals. It said, "Once there was a sad sad road where the cars couldn't stop in time for the little animals crossing it." Enter a cute bunny crossing said road of death! Then a car came racing down road of death and started braking to try to not hit cute bunny to no avail. All the dead animals start screaming to warn the bunny! Enter the Michelin Man! He throws these new tires that brake better in bad conditions onto the car and the car stops in time before cute bunny gets run over! Then all the animals, dead and alive, get up and begin dancing around the stopped car. Yes, I did say the DEAD animals with tire tracks going over them get up and dance around.

Um...... EW!

Needlessto say, I was not immediately moved to go out and buy those tires. Dead dancing animals don"t seem to work with me when it comes to advertising, and to have it rolling out right around Christmas?? What Madison Avenue moron thought that would be a good idea? Kind of dumb.

Although, when I told HHH about it, he laughed his ass off. I guess that means the commercial must be aimed towards men.
