"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun/Bohemian Rhapsody" EP up on iTunes!

Guess what I just found
out! My “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun/Bohemian Rhapsody” EP is up on iTunes, making
it 8 releases up there in total. How in the fuck did that happen? Seems rather
a lot… In any case, I especially like how they squashed the album cover photo…oh
bother, I’m not vain, think of me skewed and stocky if you like!

Santa & Grandma

I remember my first Christmas adventure with Grandma. I was just a kid.  I remember tearing across town on my bike to visit her on the day my big sister dropped the bomb: “There is no Santa Claus,” she jeered. “Even dummies know that!”

My Grandma was not the gushy kind, never had been. I fled to her that day because I knew she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told the truth, and I knew that the truth always went down a whole lot easier when swallowed with one of her “world-famous” cinnamon buns. I knew they were world-famous, because Grandma said so. It had to be true.

Grandma was home, and the buns were still warm. Between bites, I told her everything. She was ready for me. “No Santa Claus?” she snorted. “Ridiculous! Don’t believe it. That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes me mad, plain mad. Now, put on your coat, and let’s go.”

“Go? Go where, Grandma?” I asked. I hadn’t even finished my second world-famous cinnamon bun.

“Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through it’s doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars.

That was a bundle in those days.

“Take this money,” she said, “and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby’s.

I was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people scrambling to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, clutching that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy, and who on earth to buy it for.

I thought of everybody I knew: my family, my friends, my neighbors, the kids at school, and the people who went to my church. I was just about thought out, when I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker. He was a kid with bad breath and messy hair, and he sat right behind me in Mrs. Pollock’s grade-two class.

Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out to recess during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but all we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough; he had no coat.

I fingered the ten-dollar bill with growing excitement. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat!

I settled on a red corduroy one that had a hood to it. It looked real warm, and he would like that. “Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down.

“Yes, ma’am,” I replied shyly. “It’s for Bobby.” The nice lady smiled at me.  I didn’t get any change, but she put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.

That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper and ribbons (a little tag fell out of the coat, and Grandma tucked it in one of her books) and write, “To Bobby, From Santa Claus” on it.

Grandma said that Santa always insisted on secrecy. Then she drove me over to Bobby Decker’s house, explaining as we went that I was now and forever officially one of Santa’s helpers. Grandma parked down the street from Bobby’s house, and she and I crept noiselessly and hid in the bushes by his front walk.

Then Grandma gave me a nudge. “All right, Santa Claus,” she whispered, “get going.” I took a deep breath, dashed for his front door, threw the present down on his step, pounded his doorbell and flew back to the safety of the bushes and Grandma. Together we waited breathlessly in the darkness for the front door to open.

Finally it did, and there stood Bobby. Fifty years haven’t dimmed the thrill of those moments spent shivering, beside my Grandma, in Bobby Decker’s bushes. That night, I realized that those awful rumors about Santa Claus were just what Grandma said they were: ridiculous. Santa was alive and well, and we were on his team.

I still have grandma’s book, with the tag tucked inside: $19.95

Psssttt… did I mention just how awesome Grandma was?

Watsa matta with your feel right?


Don’t you feel right, baby?

Yeah, baby!

I should have been asleep long ago, but here I am, caught up in youtube again.  I was sooo tired from working out today (and not getting much sleep the night before because of youtube, lol)

It all started with lookin for some new tunes for the ipod.
I was checking my email when I membered in the yahoo mail section there’s a notepad thing?  Turns out I used to record what songs I burned onto CD’s back in like 2000-2002 era, (lol @ “era”) just like a time capsule thing to see what I liked back then, lol!  What a great idea!  Too bad I didn’t keep up with it.  I pulled up the old videos to some of them, and did that EVER take me back.  (It’s like 2009 now, you understand. lol)

Songs Loooooooooong forgotten, and never would have thought of again if not for this list, lol!  A few favorites:

ISYSS - Single for the rest of my life. 
Okay, so the VIDEO plot is pretty stupid, but the ladies still look like the very hotness. :-)  I commend the “on a campus” look to encourage people to go to college, lol, as well as the soulful singing. OH! and Do I NEED mention that USHER pops up in this video? W00t!  :-D lol


Don’t Mess with my Man - Nivea f/ Jagged Edge
“I can’t take no pigeons tryna take my baby” says it all.  This song had me rolling(!!), (LOL) I used to take this song soooo seriously. :-)  Tryna take my baby? HELL no!

No Panties - Trina
I was all like, how did this song go again?  I click it on and the first line rolls off and I’m like SHIT!  Scrambling for the volume button because the girls were in the room.  (LOL I can’t believe I used to listen to this song so shamelessly, LOL!) 

This song, although deliciously dirty (LOL) not safe for work, around kids, cruising with the windows rolled down, around old people, practically ANYWHERE except the room where you keep your strippe-OOPS! I meant Fitness Pole.


Loungin’ - LL Cool J f/ Total
No, it’s not LL eating breakfast cereal (lol), but a sweet remix that “total”-ly calls me and hooks me with the “Who do you love?  Are you for sure?” line.  The other hot line is: “Man made the money, money never made the man.” Awww, LL Cool J, you know it’s you.  No, no no no no!! You will not remind me of that movie “Deep Blue Sea” with the effin parrot and chub-chubs and ruin this for me!!!! LOL :-)

There was more, but let’s just leave it at that. (lol)
Last but not least, :-)  concludes this here blog, and I leave you with Redbone!  lol AWESOOOMENEEEESSS!! 

Rocking song, man. lol :-)

Death-The Final Slap or Last Treasure?
Category: Romance and Relationships


First of all, I couldn’t quite figure which category to blog this in,
so I chose Romance and Relationships
since this IS talking about your loved ones!

On to the story!!

I got caught up in a conversation with a friend of
 mine concerning death.

February 19th will be a year since my daddy passed away.
Some of you may remember the circumstances of his death,
Some may not.

I wont go into it on this blog, I’ll just say it was a
pretty shitty circumstance.
 Anyways, daddys wife had him cremated the day after he passed.
Not informing us, not asking us our opinions.
My mother wants to be cremated when she dies.
I have issues with that.

I have issues with thinking the extreme temperatures

they are put thru to complete the cremation.

I just can’t seem to come to terms with burning my mother to ashes.

This is something that horrifies me.

Now, they tell me there are what they call:

“Life Gems”

I googled this, cause I just couldn’t believe it and had to see for myself.

This is what one website had to say:

“The Life Gem is a certified, high quality diamond created from the carbon of your loved one
as a memorial to their unique life, or as a symbol of your personal and precious bond with another.”

The one for pets says this:

Why choose a Precious Pet LifeGem diamond?
Because I’ll always remember…
how you preferred a milk jug to an expensive toy.
how you ate everything I couldn’t stand.
how you protected me with your life,
but secretly hid when I was gone.
how you helped “break in” all of the new furniture.
how you were always there for a hug when I needed it most.
how you gave me a reason to come home.
how I loved you with all my heart,
but you always loved me more. 

So, I’m thinking how the heck and why???

Apparantly the diamonds are created by capturing

 carbons from existing remains of any standard cremation.

Or if you choose a burial, they can form the diamonds

from a lock of their hair! WTF???

They can use 8 ounces or less or the ashes or hair equal to the

amount collected from a typical haircut.

It withstands temps up to 3000 degrees,

and is then pressurized to 1, 000,000 psi.

You can get them in a variety of color, too!

 

I’m thinking that’s pretty damn hot!

There are apparently already over 1400 locations

 that now offer this service.

 There is one just over an hour from where I live!!!

Prices range from $3,000-$25,000

Now you can have your loved one OR pet, turned

 into a diamond to tote around on your finger.

Is it just me or is this just morbid?

  Keep On Keeping On

Weird. Morbid, like so many other things, is in the eye of the beholder. Not sure how I’d feel about being diamondized, though–I’d prefer to be fed to tigers so I could get back into the game as fast as possible. If I am to be cremated I would hope that, like my dad, my ashes are scattered into the ground to nourish something–probably not a vegetable garden.
That would be a bit morbid for me.

oh, and did you know its illegal to spread your ashes certain places? My dads bitch wife said he wanted to be spread over a fishing hole, thats illegal here, not sure if thats everywhere, but in louisiana its illegal.
Found that out when I had to hire an attorney to get his ashes!!! Weird huh?

I did not know that, but it does not surprise me. I don’t know for certain if my father’s ashen fate was legal or not, but my mom had a tree planted and his ashes were placed in the same hole as the tree. That was, damn, 18 years ago and the tree has grown quite a bit since then.

Im sure if I wanted to put my dad or moms ashes in my yard or something like that, I dont think that would be illegal, but I know in texasand louisiana, you cannot put them over government waters or land. Not legally, although we all know people are gonna do it.

ewww, never thought about a vegge garden…that would be weird. My mother wants to be cremated and her ashes divided between me and my brother and put at the bottom of a rose bush. I can help but wonder if its to be able to prick us when she chooses…….seriously though, people have different wishes, I just have issues with the whole cremation thing.

I don’t think the rose bushes are so bad, though I can understand your not wanting to be cremated yourself.

Deb-or-ah



 



Can you believe this? Will it never end. I do want to be cremated and I guess I should really put that in a writing somewhere. Go ahead a buy a couple of cute little boxes to split my ashes up in and leave a message to tell everyone where I want them spread…on the mountain in the cemetary where the rest of my ancestors are buried and on the beach somewhere. I don’t want to take up space nor do I want to worry about people worrying about the fact that they don’t come and pay respects. Time is for the living, my memory and love will hopefully warm them forever.

I guess its just me, as a living person cremating my mom just eats me up….terribly!!!

I guess when I die if my hubby wanted to cremate me, I really wouldnt fell it huh?

It is good to have it in writing. When going thru the legal stuff over my dad, I learned allot, and its best you have everything in writing…everything.

I finally won daddys ashes, and had him a military service 6 months after he died. But you learn allot of things when stuff like that happens.

Johnny Dingo



 



I’ve heard of this before, and frankly I think it’s a little on the bizarre side and I am generally conservative in MOST areas of my life … HOWEVER! People grieve in different ways. I would not want to wear a Mom, Dad or Aunt Millie diamond. Oddly, the idea of a pet diamond is a little appealing to me. My dog Maggie is a wonderful pet. She never talks back, she loves me unconditionally, and she doesn’t care what kind of mood I’m in. She still likes me. I will miss her terribly when she goes. I might be able to wear a little Maggie diamond. I’d have to think long and hard about it though.

I don’t know how I feel about cremation in general. Frankly, once you die and the soul leaves the body, it’s an empty shell. Doesn’t matter what happens to it.

I want to be buried in a wooden casket without a casing. I want my body to return to the earth.

i dont know that I could even wear my dogs diamond. The whole thing just kinda freaks me out. Its like trying to benefit from someone that no longer exist…..just my opinion tho!!

Id love to hear more peoples opinions if you wanna invite your friends to read this!

♒Madame Min♒



 



I heard about this a couple of months ago. After talking to my husband I am suspicious. It takes thousands of years to make diamonds at the same temp and pressure if they really could do it that fast all the jewelers would just be making their own. I think that what they do is take you money and remains (or hair) and then they go buy a diamond with it and pocket the remainder of the money. Shady business.

I’m astounded with this info, I never have heard about this?! I don’t consider it morbid, I have a different take on it. I have a problem thinking about being in a casket (claustrophobic) and then having bugs and worms and critters underground skeletonize you. I try not to think about the heat because I would be dead and full of formaldehyde just to make sure I am dead. I love the thought of this…call me morbid..!…especially for pets!! p

Oh I am going with morbid here, I do want to be cremated when it is my time but no way in hell do I want anyone to take some of those ashes and make a diamond out of me, after all I think we are already jewels to those we love and who love us while we are alive, that is enough. When your gone you should be gone, lol all of you. Anyway that is just to weird. Nope morbid fits it better.
