Current Mood: Chilling

Just here watching the 1st of 2 games today.  It is hard to believe that after this all we have left is the Super Bowl.  =(  Even if I’m not watching the games intently, I like having them on in the background, so this sucks.  There really is no one team that I don’t like, but I don’t care of Rivers attitude from the Chargers….no sportsmanship.  That means a lot to me.  I really would love to see Green Bay make the Super Bowl and take the Patriots down.  Partly because the Patriots beat our Colts, the coaching staff has also been tarnished for me with them video taping the calls of other teams………that was low, but mainly because I would love to see Favre get one more ring and this may be one of his last chances. He has a hell of a year after last year.

Baby, it’s cold outside for NFC title game

McCarthy used some frozen balls at practice this week to help simulate likely conditions Sunday.

“Is that what was going on?” veteran wide receiver Donald Driver said with a laugh. “Basically, they never told us that the balls were coming out of the freezer, we just kind just felt it as we caught it: ’Wow, the balls are cold.’ We thought most likely the balls had been outside all day, but they were in the freezer.

**Makes sense to do, but I would’ve thought the players would’ve been informed about the freezer part………lol

So don’t go sleeveless? When told fellow end Justin Tuck was planning the same fashion statement as many of the Packers, the veteran Strahan shivered.

“I told him I’m wearing layers,” Strahan said. “These guys can wear short sleeves. I’m not trying to impress anybody. For what? Oh, I’m strong!

“I guarantee you Justin Tuck’s goose bumps will be bigger than his muscles.”

**I really like it when the players are able to be themselves and show their humor.  The NFL is very good of showing that side of the game.  I know it is just good PR on the NFL part, but without the players being who they are it wouldn’t succeed.

This year sucked for commercials during the football season.  I can’t stand beer, it is disgusting to me, but they usually have some interesting and entertaining commercials.  Coors has been the worst..the use of old NFL press conferences…..I race to hit the mute button………they have sucked big time.  I so hope that they don’t reuse them next year…..that keep ruining the game.

Separated Saudi couple sues to reunite 

**And people have issues with the International Women’s Conference over the issue of abortion……..refusing to see that the majority of the issues that they face are issues such as this……..morons.

I had read the following articles over the last 2 weeks, playing on adding them here.  To me they are issues too big to be ignored.

War Torn, part 1 

War Torn, part 2 

**I firmly believe in personal responsibility, that this country has moved away from, but are so many things that are changed inside a person’s mind due to war.  Between what they see and the need to survive in the most primal way, it is no wonder that some of these veteran’s lose it.  It is so screwed up, because they are passed off into the VA system, which we all know sucked before the increase of current vets, so it is even worst.  I not going to get into that…..since it is a very sore subject with me. Then the victims of these horrible crimes get lost……..

Edwards On O’Reilly: ‘He Has No Idea What He’s Talking About’

**O’Reilly shows his stupidity again (I can’t use the word ignorance…….way too much of a understatement).  I love (NOT) people who act all patriotic and they know everything but in in their defense of failed policies and beliefs refuse to see the truth….the No Spin Zone??  He is nothing but spin…….huge, huge liar.  I just can’t stand the guy because he reminds me of a big ass lying bully…..Sweet Jesus, I Hate Bill O’Reilly anyone?  It really breaks down his bullshit.

Ronald Reagan Is Still Dead

**I’m so tired of them invoking Reagan……..he wasn’t all that great.  And none of the candidates have clue…..ggrrrr

Damn, New England just threw an interception in the end zone…….

Current Mood: Reflective

Well, well………what a day off. Didn’t get to bed as early as I wanted………normal Then got up early this morning to get Torn off to the airport. It is weird not having Torn around, but at least I’m working the days that he is gone and it is not a holiday.

After I dropped him, I stopped at the store on my way into town and picked a few things, mainly litter & cat food….the spoiled brats. Then it was on to home. I had a friend waiting on me to take care of some business. It took longer then expected, but then I had to head to the bank to take care of other parts of the business.

By now I’ve totally lost track of time and needed to get some sort of food in me……so a quick stop at bk just for 1 burger to be tossed into me. And then on to staples, finally got me the new quickbooks program that I needed. Looks nice, what I’ve seen. I haven’t been able to dig in to as much as I would like……but I will get my moment.

When I got home, it was to attack more of the same work since the info I had for the bank was incorrect…..icks I finally got all my reports and data entries done for rude. I still need my do all my receipts…the pile keeps getting bigger.

I need to do some solo shoots while Torn is gone, but guess what I forgot to do? Ask Torn to out the lights together. They aren’t that hard but if you don’t know them, it is hard to organize them. So I have put one set together and I WILL do some shoots tomorrow. I have to……I’m broken later this week and I’m out of town next week.

I’m just so totally overwhelmed……..it wouldn’t be bad at all if I had more time. I’m enjoying what I’m doing, I just want more time to work on it.

Go thing I don’t comment on boards very much. Some moron on a board I occasionally go to in his defense of Imus turned around and said that the girls on that team were “nappy-headed hos”!!! Just because they aren’t the normal standard of “pretty”…..I would love just to bitch slap his stupid idiotic ass for that! What pisses me off is everyone just lets him run that shit from his mouth and even encourage the moron no matter what the subject, even though overall the board is a very reasonable board. It is disappointing. I just try to avoid his shitty posts.

I hate the racism in that comment that Imus made and I hope that it really brings up the double standard that is in hip-hop. I really love the beat and the rhythms of hip-hop, but I HATE the sexism in it. That is why Imus thought he could get away with it…..he was a heavy weight and this crap is accepted is in the mainstream hip-hop. I don’t believe Imus is actually racist and meant it to be, he is a shock jock and thought he was being funny.

As a feminist, I knowledge the racism in that comment he made, but I really see the sexism in it. That is how hip-hop culture treat their women and it really pisses me off. I do not like seeing my sisters of any color being treated that way.

One of my favorite hip-hop bands growing up was Salt-N-Pepper, they spoke of sexual and individual empowerment. They didn’t put up with being treated like “hos”…..it was on their terms, strong terms. That is the hip-hop that I’ve always enjoyed.

Maybe with the focus on race issues, it will help bring attention to this : Report: Black Men Mired In Social Crisis

This is so sad and as been obvious for years, but no one wants to see it. =(

This is depressing and needs a moment of silence for the ones who have lost their lives in the worst shooting ramapage in American history : At Least 33 Killed In Va. Tech Massacre

Current Mood: Sickly

Warning, I’m going to be whining and bitching here……..I don’t get to do that much when sick except for on my blog. =)

I HATE being sick. My head feels as if it is going to exploded….yuck. I woke up around 6am because I couldn’t breath and was coughing. Spent an hour sitting up on the couch drinking hot cocoa so I wouldn’t disturb Torn, before heading back to bed where I passed out and slept much longer then normal.

I did get myself together enough to do some small cleaning projects around the house, nothing much. I did have to lie down in the afternoon since my head was hurting. If I’m not feeling better by Monday, I’m calling the doctor. I know my sinus are infected bad, don’t ask how I know, trust me I just know the signs. I’ll be loading up on Nyquil tonight just so I can get some sleep before working early tomorrow…………yuck!

We did order me a new external hard drive for my music and family stuff. I can’t wait to get it, then I can reset my Ipod and get it set up better.

We’ll be buying our flight tickets this Friday, me for Indiana, Torn for Portland in April. I’m so looking forward to seeing my family. =)

I did have Torn take some pictures in my Colts Jersey!

Current Mood: Sickly

I’m not feeling too well.  I have that icky, I’m coming down with something feeling.  =(  I know that there are folks at work who haven’t been feeling good and I swear if they got me sick, I’m going to kick their ass………….ggggrrrr

I have a long day of work today and then the next 2 days off.  If I spend my 2 days off feeling like crap, I’m not going to be a happy camper……

**Posted when I got home.

I’m hot……mad as hell. I just got through airport security here in Indy. WHAT MORONS!!!! They are on major power trips. I had talked to my husband a few hours ago and he went through the same thing in Ohio.

Let me start at the beginning. I’m wearing flip-flops, not enclosed shoes where I can hide anything……..they are cheap walmart ones that I got cuz I liked the color and the beads, plain and simple. Well, I know my rights and I know the rules. You do not have to take off your shoes when they are that open and don’t set off the metal detectors. But because I stood up to them and refused to remove them I had to go through a pat down and delay. You know what I don’t care. I know my rights and I’ll go through the pat down and give them more work. Hell, I’ll take off my shirt right there………I don’t care. I was making a point.

They didn’t have me take off my shoes in Orlando and those were tennis shoes, more reason to have me remove them. Plus Orlando is one that gets a hell lot more passenger and more international people then Dayton or Indy.

Well, I wasn’t exactly quiet about their power trip. In fact, I asked one of these girls “This is a power trip for you, isn’t it?” She turned away, but I can tell that she wanted to say something. I didn’t push it, but I wasn’t being quiet about it and I wanted others to see it.

I told them, I know I’m not required to take off my shoes and that is was all over the news a few months ago. They didn’t like that. I told them that I feel like I’m living in Hitler Germany. A few other passengers went by when I was gathering my stuff and said “we’re proud of you”.

I understand security, never understood why we hadn’t secure our airports before Sept. 11 like other countries do. But do not try and push me around when I know my rights in the name of security. You can thank Bush for the Gestapo state we are in…….and don’t forget 5 deferments Cheney & draft dodger Rove. Once you start removing rights and excepting their removal in the name of security, you no longer deserve to have those rights.

Those rights are the reason my grandfather served in WWII, my father did 2 tours in ‘Nam with 21yrs in the Army, my husband served in the 1^st Persian Gulf war and why my other uncles did time in the military. Thomas Jefferson is rolling over in his grave and demanding that we over throw the government right now. Jefferson believed that we should have a revolution every 20-30 yrs to keep the tyrants out. It looks like we are over due because they have taken root.

Maybe you should study history and learn what our founding fathers fought for.

**possible letter material……there fore the “you” being the subject.

Italy rape ruling draws criticism

***How screwed up is this??!? RAPE is RAPE! No matter how sexually active one may be! Morons!

Feds after Google data
**Watch out…….if you visit any porn site, the Bush administration wants to know about it. They are so full of shit!

This isn’t about protecting the children (which is code word for attacking the 1st Amendment). IF they truely wanted to protect the children, they would have a system set up where one can report child porn without being charged for having it on your pc cuz you trying to get it stopped.

There are a huge amount of adult webmasters, who have families, who can’t stomach those who make sexual slaves of children, who would love to be able to report things that they find without being prosecuted just because they make ADULT porn FOR ADULTS only!

Cheney Defends Domestic Spying
**Oh yes, I forgot, Bush & Cheney are dictators and have thrown out the 4th Amendment. For those who forgot what that Amendment states:

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

If you give even the slightest care about your rights, don’t forget that is what the ACLU is for and they need your support.

I go to start working on some of our receipts & guess what!?! My quickbooks file is completely gone!!

I had (or so I thought) backed it up before we reformatted my pc……well, the SOB is not there, it is a blank disc! So instead of having 2 months worth of stuff, I have a whole year….on top of that I lost all my previous years (at least I have the hard copies of those reports, along with the receipts, this our taxes). On the icing on the cake, I now I have to totally reset up my quickbooks, all my expenses, my income, my chart of accounts……….it is now a fucking mess!!

I am so pissed at myself, I just want to hit something!! I don’t have time to do this shit, not at this time of year……

So now, once I calm down, I’m going to have to spend all my time off working on this shit & I MAY, MAY get it done by Dec 31st…..

Dad called me the other day to check on my finger & to make sure I was taking care of it right. =) Since I hadn’t gotten to getting a splint (I was taping my finger to another) a friend at work made a splint for me to use, that was so sweet of him. =)

Today was my day off. We had to break down and do the grocery shopping…..nothing like being in a store with annoying people. =(

We did get a bike ride in yesterday before I headed to work & I got some time on the treadmill today. Felt good to get some exercise, I have to work early the next 2 days & won’t be getting it in.

We did get the kitchen painted finally. I’m very happy about that. =) Now the major areas of the house are done, other then putting in new floor trim & painting the old trim. Now we just need to figure out what colors we are going to do for the office, master bed & the spare bath. Once we get all that done we can take pictures for the family. =)

**Warning………Political Vent

How many more Mike Browns are out there?
***Here is some of Bush’s cronism……gggrrrr Nothing like hiring your friends, who cares if they don’t have experience and cost lives, money and security….

Speaking of cronies…………Bush Taps Close Ally For Court

**This is what worries me…….other than the president’s…….she can’t have that agenda…..the Consititution is the document you go by……..not some president’s agenda….gggrrr

This SUCKS!!! WTF?!?

What is going on with this stupid side passes?!? Our offensive coach is calling it too dang conservate and is not letting our d have a break!

I don’t know if I’m going to be able to finish watching this……..gggggrrrrrr
