Little Room....

About 5 years ago, I said that I have enough friends.

Well, I seem to have found room for some more. (especially ones that like marching bands)

And last night I was very pleased to discover that chivalry is not dead – not by a long shot. You just have to be around the right people.

So...

I can usually find the right thing to say at the right time - but not this time. I know that no matter what I say or do, it will not help.

HUGS to both of you - I have more for you when you need them.

Snip, Snip Here...

It’s done – I have gone through the pictures and scrapbooked the event that was causing the backlog. The day was not the problem – it was what happened shortly after it.

It’s done and I am proud of myself – it was about damn time that I sat down and did it!!

Poke, Poke, Beat!!

Poking dead horse....Beating a dead horse......Maybe if I try hard enough, it will get up and dance...

I am focusing on the happy stuff that is going on. Just because you are down does not mean that I have to be.

I like my happy right now, thank you. I will sympathize, but I will not wallow.

Ok, soapbox for the day is put away.

Can You Describe the Ruckus?

I have been spending WAY too much time trying to figure out how to respond to things without causing a ruckus...

This is not how I want to spend my time. So, I will either let it go, ignore it or give the blunt truth (especially when people are not being fair about things). Consider this fair warning for the last part - velvet glove - iron fist - *smack*

It is not my job/duty to keep the peace. I am exhausted from trying to.

Ah, I feel better now.....

Twitter Behavior...

10 Irrational Behaviors on Twitter that’d make you look crazy in Real Life

1. Write letters to inanimate objects or brands: “Dear 34 Bus, if you don’t show up in ten minutes, ’m going to consider hitch hiking as a permanent solution to transportation.”

2. Repeating a statement word for word that was just said minutes before.

3. Following someone even though they don’t want to talk to you.

4. Walking into a crowd on Friday morning and shouting out the names of eight best friends.

5. Quietly handing someone a note that is asking them to join your Spymaster league.

6. Proving someone wrong in a debate by referring to statement they made exactly twenty-four days ago at 3:30pm CST.

7. Carrying a rubber stamp in your pocket and slamming the word “FAIL” on everything you don’t like.

8. Jumping out of an alley and responding to a question that someone asked someone else.

9. Taking real words and melding them together cleverly while NOT being a rapper.

10. Having 100,000 people walking behind you and you’re NOT the Verizon guy.

Mental Break...

Somedays you just need a bit of purple in order to restore calm when the work world gets too crazed...Do not fold, spindle, mutilate or use without getting permission first - the pirate will get you......

Mick Vs. The Jonas....

“We'd like to pose the following question: With whom would you rather share a hot tub? Mick Jagger in his heyday or the purity ring-sporting Jonas Brothers?”

So, there’s a Mick Jagger vs. Jonas Brothers rant….really?

There is no comparison – need I remind everyone of the blatant song titles?!??!

“I Just Wanna Make Love to You” (Beatles were hand holders) and “Let’s Spend the Night Together”…yes, the Stones were the bad boys.

Now the Jonas Boys do get away with stuff behind the “purity ring” guise (ala South Park’s episode) but to compare them to Mick Jagger?!?!? No contest darlings, no contest...

Mick is down and dirty – the Jonas Pups are not on his level in any way shape or form.



Even this picture – Mick and Anita Pallenberg during the filming of “Performance” – just look at it - there were major shenanigans on set!! And that is his best mate’s girl! (Keith Richards sat outside in his car and smoked while these two filmed….)

Umm, no Jonas boys would ever do something like that!

Microphone Check....1,2,1,2....

I haven’t really had anything worth writing about – must be because I think in Tweets...damn soundbites...but I am still here – waiting for some inspiration...

And a reply to my Mea Culpa email...

Das Entry...

It does not get old…well, for now anyway…

Das Fan
Das Arrr (are we being boarded by a German pirate?!?!)
Das Meow

This morning I need Das coffee...

(T2 x 2) + (H x 3) = Fun!

Most commonly uttered phrases from last night - Ticky Tocky, Ticky Tocky, Hoy, Hoy, Hoy!! and Das Boot!

A bunch of us went out to celebrate her birthday – dinner, drinks and some rock.

Dinner was at the East Side German restaurant - http://www.eastsiderestaurant.com/ if you want to check it out! We were greeted by a cutie in liederhosen, serenaded by accordion players and given silly hats to wear. It's impossible to not talk to the neighboring table - especially when one of the guys at it has a hot dog on his head – he handed it over to us when they left!

The entire restaurant participates when someone gets a beer – you can’t NOT cheer!! And if you get a boot, well, that’s a whole other cheer! It’s always a good time to just sit around laughing and enjoying the people that you are with! Even if they make you do a hand check when you are posing with the cutie in liederhosen……I am not a predator!!! (there is no little mouth that says "eh"!!)

The goal of the night was to continue the great vibe that we had going. And we did!

We didn't get to dance to our favorite DJ because he is off protecting the country, so we made do with All Crazy. I bumped into Skinny as we were walking in and got hugged because I said “Hey! It’s the electric violin player from All Crazy!” And then he bought our entire group a round of shots!

Soup came to get us to sign up for the mailing list and after teasing him about not having merch girls, I told him about Instrument. (could not resist, plus he seemed sincerely interested). So, we danced, got shout outs every two songs and Skinny even hooked us up with shirts and CD's! (Thank you!!)

It was a fun time and then we drove through the carnage that erupts onto the streets once the bars close. I’m very thankful that I was not driving…..

The night was not done though, we had to stop at a diner and continue the laughs. And by 3 am, we were low energy vampires *snicker* –
:-PPPPPP (Reference)

Speaking of Stuff....

Hello, Morning!!

I had the perfect chance to finally see VMF play last night – did I take it? Nope. It was rainy and dreary and it had been a long week and etc....but had it been Instrument, I would have gone – not fair, but it's the truth. VMF also went on close to midnight and I was just way too comfy on the couch in my pj's by 9 pm.

Instead, I stayed home with Jason Statham - specifically the Bank Job. (this brought up the debate of what kind of wine one serves with Jason Statham....I opted for red) And I got to bed really early for once - which explains why I’m wide awake at 9 am on a Saturday poaching eggs.

It is good to spend some time at home though - justifies paying rent - makes it more than just a place to keep all my stuff. *Yawn* I may need to nap before tonight’s festivities though….

WWTD?

I’ve been channeling my energy for mostly good….only some evil. I’ve been hashing out/organizing my marketing ideas for Instrument and staying true to the mantra of “What Would Tool Do?”

Still need to get the venues in order though – I’m ready for another road trip. (have to fulfill my quota of hottie attorneys and the shenanigans that they bring)

The intent is not to clobber Instrument with the marketing ideas – just share what else can be done now. There are more ideas but the "iron fist in the velvet glove" only strikes once a day...

D-E-F-E-N-E-C...

"Hey, I've flipped one of these cars." (as they take their turn driving)

"My ex sucks more cock than I do."

"You remember my father." (points to urn on the mantle)

"One day I'll be her evil stepmother, just like in a Disney movie."

We all have our defense mechanisms....

Rentals! Get Your Rentals!

Should I rent myself out?

Not in a dirty way – just from an entertainment perspective – wait, that still sounds dirty.

Umm.....

Do you need a distraction from your drama?

Are you bored?

Is it too quiet in your house?

I can help!
