American Idol predicts the future?

In case you haven’t noticed the similarities:

Archuleta = Obama
Mercado = Clinton
Cook = McCain

Mercado is defeated…. will it be an Archuleta/Mercado ticket up against Cook?

Is it prophecy?

You heard it here first!

English is hard….

Hannah was telling me about the list of items the teacher requested for a granola recipe.

“It says shelled sunflower seeds but I think she means unshelled.”

“Oh, so she wants the shells on?” I asked.

“No, shells off.” she replied.

“Shelled, means shells off sweetie.”

“Oh” she said, but she had that look on her face that said ‘who makes up these words”?

I am really going to miss these times. They make me smile.

Our President Controls Oil Prices!

I was listening to Bob and Tom this morning and they were able to interview Senator Hillary Clinton. I have to say it was informative because she let the entire listening audience know that when George Bush was elected, oil was $20 a barrel and now it’s $120 a barrel.

I am sure he (George Bush) finds it easier to control oil prices then when he had to create the hurricanes to sway the election results.

2 political posts from me in two days….. be afraid, be very afraid.

Note: the views expressed in the last two posts are no indication of my political affiliation.

I almost typed that note without laughing.

You gotta love the Irish!

From a recent email:

We in Ireland cannot figure out why you are even bothering to hold an
election.

On one side, you have a bitch who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer, …
and a lawyer who is married to a bitch who is a lawyer.

On the other side, you have a true war hero married to a woman with a
huge chest who owns a beer distributorship.

Is there a contest here?

Makes me proud of my heritage!

I am 3 Degrees of Kevin Bacon!

It goes like this:

Brian Cesak was in Fandango (1985) with Kevin Costner; Kevin Costner was in JFK (1991) with Kevin Bacon; therefore Brian Cesak has a Bacon number of 2.

Brian Cesak, after his moment in the Hollywood sun joined the Navy. I was mobilized with Brian to Seventh Fleet onboard the USS Blue Ridge in support of the Global War on Terror right after 9/11. So, although I wasn’t in a movie, I worked with Brian and I am 3 degrees of Kevin Bacon!

I know, it means nothing really, but if you know me, you are 4 degrees 😉

Confidence and honesty…

Noah has taken to the guitar quite well. People that have been playing all their life are impressed with his ability and it has helped build his confidence, but hasn’t taken away from the traits I admire so much in him. Read more

Kids Say, v.7.0

It’s Noah’s turn…

Trying to compliment his sister on how smart she has gotten in her 8 years, after she said something particularly intelligent he said:

“Wiseness comes with age.”

If you don’t understand, maybe you just aren’t old enough.

Who thinks up these headlines?

 

“No ruling yet on cause of death in Friday police shooting”

That is an actual Dayton Daily News headline today for a story about the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office and a recent local incident.

Now, I am no coroner, but I am guessing the cause of death in the shooting was bullets.

Gems v.1.0

Gems are something I stumble across that are particularly interesting, funny, poignant, or for some reason, something I just feel I have to write down. This is the first.

I was listening to Bob and Tom and one of the comics, I can’t recall who, said something I just found not only completely funny, but also thought provoking. He said, “it is next to impossible to say eBay in Pig Latin.”

You’re trying it, aren’t you 😉
