So I thought I'd share some lessons I've learned in these first few months that are more valuable than wipe warmers or nipple shields (2 things I'd never heard of a year ago).<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Nice to meet you</u></strong>: Now, I've watched enough Maury in my day to realize that every man has different expectations of what Fatherhood will bring....<img height="190" src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/39/2010/02/not_the_father_2.jpg" width="320" />.<br />
For me, I thought that when Shepherd arrived he and I would instantly click, I'd hear angels sing, burst into tears while jumping for joy, and have this perfect moment. I never thought about the fact that I would be wearing a space suit (shoe covers included), face mask, surrounded by beeping machines and strangers, my wife in the middle of a serious surgery...oh and not to mention that this perfect little boy is a complete stranger. Yes, I'd been waiting anxiously for 39 weeks to meet him, I couldn't even sleep the night before he was born because I was so excited, but he still looked up at me like who/what the heck are you? So, the initial moment wasn't what I expected and before you know it the first night was over. We were blessed to have our families there chomping at the bit to meet him. During his first bath I felt like an animal at the zoo...<img alt="" aria-busy="false" aria-describedby="fbPhotosSnowliftCaption" class="spotlight" height="480" src="https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/543678_10100730890671160_444634401_n.jpg" width="640" /><br />
So it's midnight on the first night and Jess and I have decided that we are super parents and will keep Shep with us in the room. "Why would anyone send their sweet new baby to the nursery?" we asked. Fast Forward 2 hours, we've both been up for what seems like 3 weeks so we call the nurse to come pick him up. New Parents Fail! The rest of the hospital visit is a blur, rarely anytime alone and nurses nurses and more nurses! Her nurse, his nurse, the cleaning nurse, the nurse that brings the food (but it took 4 hours for me to get a blanket). So as I'm carrying my boy out to the car I think "When we get home he and I can really get to know each other!" By this point I've already convinced myself that I'm the worst dad ever and feel sorry for Shep being dealt such a crummy hand in the father department. <br />
<br />
<em>Lesson</em>: In a nutshell, it took me a few weeks to really bond with the little guy...and that's ok. New/Future Dads, don't put any pressure on yourselves. Those first few days are so special and will fly by, just enjoy them for what they are and everything will work out!<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Who is this Woman?:</u></strong> My wife is a rock star and really did very little complaining throughout her entire pregnancy. That said, once she was admitted to the hospital she became a different person. She was calm, stress free and very go with flow, words that wouldn't typically be used to describe Jess. <img height="240" id="il_fi" src="http://oilersnation.com/uploads/Image/gift-horse-sml.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="320" />(<---what does that even mean) I was just going with it and then I realized she was completely drugged! Remember in college, you see someone in the middle of the week and they know you but you've never seen them in your life because you met them after midnight the previous Saturday... that's Jess's memory of the hospital; blurry at best. <br />
<em>Lesson</em>: Guys, make sure you pay attention. Hopefully the hospital staff will keep track of everything but in our experience we had the whole spectrum of nursing staff from please move in with us to Do Not come back in our room (I really had to kick a rude nurse out of our room).<br />
<br />
<u><strong>Sleepless Marriage (get your mind out of the gutter)</strong></u>: So we've got our sweet boy home and Jess and I are both infatuated with him! That combined with the fact that he wasn't quite catching onto nursing led to us coming to the conclusion that we should both get up with him every time he woke up. Terrible idea! There was a pivotal lack of sleep moment around 3am on the 2nd night that Jess gave me this look... <img height="262" src="http://images.sodahead.com/blogs/000391157/grizzly_xlarge.jpeg" style="height: 100%; width: 100%;" width="350" /> and I was pretty sure if murder was legal...well this blog would've never been written. <br />
<em>Lesson: </em>Tag team the night time sessions and NEVER, under any circumstance complain about anything. Guys, I'm on your side and realize that you're completely justified but you can't have a rational discussion with a sleep deprived new mom.<br />
<br />
Those are some of the stand outs things I've learned but most importantly; make sure you soak it all in. Those first few weeks fly by and while everyday if more fun that the previous...I still feel like he's growing up too fast. They say time flies when you're having fun and I'm having the time of my life!<img alt="" aria-busy="true" aria-describedby="fbPhotosSnowliftCaption" class="spotlight" height="612" src="https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/406352_10100848188585200_1148278577_n.jpg" style="height: 612px; width: 612px;" width="612" />...Joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03785436551988712339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221159373382505243.post-12303236754447829852012-05-09T08:24:00.000-07:002012-05-09T08:24:01.538-07:00Dear Shepherd...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Jess and I are ready to enter a new chapter in our lives and I can't wait to meet the star character! We've been soo blessed with such amazing family and friends supporting us along the way, this little guy doesn't know how lucky he is! I wrote this letter to Shepherd a few weeks ago and while he may never read it, I'll think of it often to make sure I hold myself accountable and give him everything I promised, and hopefully more.</span></span></span><br />

I’m so nervous, it’s as if I’ve been holding my breath for 9 months. Every day I ask your Mom if you’re moving around “enough” and I’ve been praying for you day and night since I found out you were on the way. You’ll be here any day now and my life will be forever changed for the better; I’m so excited, over the moon actually. I’m looking forward to meeting you and helping you on your journey to become the man I already know you can be; a kind man, full of integrity, compassion and the ability to laugh at yourself. A confident man that doesn’t judge others and is respectful of women. There is a truckload of things I want to teach you, things that we can learn together, and I'm sure you'll teach me just as much! I know that God made me the man I am, gave me the life that I’ve lived with the struggles I’ve faced, for you. I hope that I can help you to know that God and I love you unconditionally...always, and that it’s OK to fail and to cry. That being nice to people is invaluable and that it’s OK to be silly. I want you to be confident and happy, generous and loyal. I want you to tell the truth and keep promises, dream the biggest dreams and be a good friend. I can’t wait to teach you how to tie your shoes, ride a bike, give a firm hand shake, and more importantly a great hug! I look forward to teaching you how to throw a ball, swing a tennis racquet and give you the confidence to show the world your dance moves. I want you to know how important it is to have good manners, be a gentleman and to always do what is right, even when it’s difficult. I want you to be the type of man that other men respect, women are comfortable around and a leader that people follow because they want to. I want to teach you how to appropriately handle your anger, manage your finances, and the importance of being a good listener. I am looking forward to teaching you to cook, shave, have fun, tie a tie, shoot a free throw, cut the grass, work hard, change a tire, cherish your family, love life, respect your mother, be a spiritual leader, a lifelong learner and a man of God. Most important, I hope that I can teach you how to live, by giving you a strong example to follow. I know that being your father will make me a better man and I can’t wait to be your dad for the rest of my life!</span></span></div>

Black Friday Nutjobs!<img src="http://www.stevestenzel.com/photos5/ff_black_friday_bingo.jpg" /><br />
<br />
In a temporary moment of insanity, I decided it would be a good idea..."fun" even, to go out Thanksgiving night and do all the Black Friday stuff in an attempt to get a 46in. TV for $298 at Target. Sounds normal right...well here is a quick bit of history...<br />
Until 2 thanksgivings ago, every holiday since I was 17 has been spent working in retail and I HATED Black Friday, everyone that shopped<img height="134px" src="http://blog.silive.com/latest_news/2008/12/large_12-5-CASHIER.jpg" width="200px" />, well I hated everything about this time of year. Once I got out I swore I would NEVER again be out in that mess and there I stood, like a big twat, waiting in line with all the other losers on Thanksgiving night.<img height="480px" src="http://waow.images.worldnow.com/images/16119434_BG1.jpg" width="640px" /><br />
<br />
I left my family dinner and decided to stop by Target just to see if there was a line...it was only 9:30 so I didn't think anyone would be there (see above). After seeing that line I thought...no way will I get that TV but I decided to stand there anyway. Jess dropped me off and armed with 2 cans of luke warm coke to keep me hydrated and awake I took my place in line. I had no intention of making friends with anyone around me...after all, these were the people I hated only a few years ago...and here I was standing arm and arm with them singing Christmas carols and talking about all the great deals we were about to score. OK, so really that's not true but I did make black Friday friends with those around me...mostly so that if I fell and was being trampled they may kick me out of the way.<br />
<br />
The couple behind me called themselves Black Friday Professionals, i.e. dumb asses. <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv2fiRqOvlnZkxlxLjQS1CFDTbYTxQ-2c8r4NTrhHO7CJTBYJmFh6PmtOoy_jjKggMn3JkxkO3-PbP44b77gUzyRNHEf1xOt6K2i7BD2cMpqOGi_6OWOY0TG1AA3fbJDcic2sjnp9Qo3w/s1600/cos-cheesy-couple-8-lgn.jpg" />She explained that they do this every year...one year even bringing their 18 month old out in the snow in order to get the "sympathy vote" of other shoppers. Ummm, can someone please call <img height="193px" src="http://www.positivepins.com/big/aabuse24.jpg" width="200px" />. Me...being the unprofessional shopper that I am, hadn't even looked at the ads, so when I asked if I could look at the one she had brought, she said yes but when she handed it to me it was twisted so tightly that it made a sharp point...I'm assuming so she could use it as a dagger, that i just thanked her and handed it back...handle first of course <br />
<img height="165px" src="http://www.jayfisher.com/_borders/KnifeGripRGEORingTalon2.jpg" width="200px" />. The people in front of me seemed normal...except that they had brought a coffee pot, chairs, two blankets and a board game so whenever they said something to me I pretended to be deaf. <br />
Around 10:45 I thought about leaving...there was NOTHING else I could make small talk about and none of my friends were responding to my <img height="156px" src="http://download.zonamob.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/f-1024-3.jpg" width="320px" /> words, and I was cold. Then, a target employee started walking down the line. You see, it had been explained to me that <img height="212px" src="http://onesmartcookiemarketing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/golden-ticket.jpg" width="320px" />were to be handed out for door buster items. When he gets to me, I'm pumped to get my ticket for the TV and he says "Sir, would you like a snack". Really? I took the snack, a yummy chocolate covered peppermint bar...FOR WOMEN. WTH? Of course this sends all of the "gentlemen" around me into a fit of laughter, talking about how "I aint growin no boobs" & "what if I get my period"...which that was a valid point b/c there wasn't even a place to go the bathroom, let alone deal with that. I just kept my mouth shut and put the estrogen bar in my coat pocket with my cokes that...due to the bathroom issue, had remained unopened.<br />
<br />
In an attempt to drown out the boisterous laughter and discussions about whether the bar can really make you develop breast, I start to reflect on how poor I am. I could have purchased this TV yesterday for $500.00 but instead I decide to wait in line for 4 hours, in the cold, with people I would rather not talk to, to save $200. Sad sad day. Given, $200.00 is right at 1/2 of my annual salary but still...pathetic. Then I started to think that maybe I shouldn't even spend $300, I mean we do have a baby on the way...and then I realized I'd left my wallet in the car. (Remember Jess dropped me off). UGH! So I call Jess, and as I'm asking her to bring me my wallet, I see a new Target employee handing out the actual tickets!<br />
<br />
This is it! As I stand there anxiously awaiting my ticket, watching the guy get closer and closer, I decide that it's been worth it. Then he hands me my ticket...which turns out to be a coupon for .50cents off a box of chocolate covered peppermint bars for women. At this point I was glad I had given the paper dagger back to my neighbor. Jess shows up at 11:45, gives me my wallet and we wait for the doors to open. At Midnight, the doors open and the cattle are herded into the store...<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.gearfuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/bfriday01.jpg" /> It was literally the dumbest thing I've ever witnessed. In line outside women are cussing at each other. "Touch my kid again and I'll show you black Friday bitch" What does that even mean? An old woman "looking for her grandson" was trying to cut line and was thrown to the ground.<img src="http://www.examiner.com/images/blog/wysiwyg/image/riot_shopb(1).jpg" /> From the back of the line, someone yelled <img height="125px" src="http://www.esperino.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Mortal-Kombat-World-Record-Screenshot-01.jpg" width="200px" /> and I never saw the old woman again.<br />
<br />
Once we made it inside I made my way to the TVs...there were 5 left (of only 10) and it turns out you did have to have a ticket; thanks for telling me Target. At this point people are threatening death to the employee guarding the TVs, I on the other hand, admit defeat...realize I am an Idiot and am at home with the biggest glass of red wine known to man by 12:30.<img height="236px" src="http://www.linnnk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/wine-glass-holds-entire-bottle-of-wine.jpg" width="320px" />.<br />
<br />
In hindsight, it really wasn't THAT bad, it made for a good story and I got to see what Christmas is all about...skanks waiting in line, trampling each other, and cussing out retail employees, all in the name of saving money that they probably shouldn't be spending anyway. Happy Holidays! <img height="441px" src="http://www.thatsnotsanta.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/drunk_santa_train-550x379.jpg" width="640px" />Joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03785436551988712339noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221159373382505243.post-43555319504811502442011-10-11T12:34:00.001-07:002012-08-08T08:00:55.870-07:00Fall 2011 TV. The good, the bad, and the really?Sadly, because I'm a HUGE loser, one of my favorite times of year is when new shows premier in the fall. <img height="211" src="http://narcoosseefl.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/couch-potato-kid.jpg" width="320" />Currently my DVR is at 88% which can partly be blamed on my renewed obsession with <img height="400" src="http://www.joeydevilla.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/golden_girls_valentines.jpg" width="297" />! The rest of the dvr, other than the 20 hours of <img height="168" src="http://www.wittysam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/oprah.jpg" width="200" /> that my wife and I have stocked piled, is new fall programming. The pilot episode of any show is never amazing (except Modern Family) but there has to be that moment where you like a character or you laugh out loud...if that hasn't happened by the 2nd episode (1st episode if it's an hour long show) I'm out! Here is how the current fall line up is looking.<br />
<br />
<img height="225" src="http://img.poptower.com/pic-53342/up-all-night-nbc-tv-show.jpg?d=600" width="400" /> is one of my favorite new shows. I would love pretty much anything Ms. Applegate does and Mya Rudolph literally makes my stomach ache the next day! The good thing about this show is that the comedy doesn't seemed forced and when Mya said "Edge of Seventeen" in the pilot episode, I literally re-watched that clip 10 times. I see it being around for a while! Another great new show, my wife's favorite, is <img height="320" src="http://www.doobybrain.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/fox-new-girl.jpg" width="215" />. Different, quirky, and funny in it's own way, Zooey isn't afraid to look like an idiot which makes for great tv!<br />
<br />
<img height="240" src="http://images.zap2it.com/images/tv-EP01419872/2-broke-girls-11.jpg" width="320" /> is one that I wrote off just based on the story line, but it has its moments. The bad/dirty girl meets heiress thing is kinda played out but it has its moments and since CBS has nothing else on except Survivor, I think it will make it...but no more than one season. Chelsea Lately employee Whitney Cummings produces broke girls...and also stars in <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFgLQVD6V6VGiN0_6a64-nTJlPuIRa69h407sN_RbkOarnQFy9u-zWsYT8MjdpzMu3RuC9jig7jJjhR1OOgBrMsiM6NSvhklsccZlaUaJCRs8zHYEYCIIaE-pmwF5znOPdBgxTWWuLIHA0/s320/whitney.jpeg" /> which seems to be getting good reviews but I tried to watch it and within in the first 2 segments the series recording was deleted from the DVR. EWW<br />
<img height="820" src="http://images.wikia.com/hartofdixie/images/3/38/Hart_of_dixie_poster_art_rachel_bilson_2011_a_p.jpg" width="605" /> is probably my favorite new Fall show, and if the picture doesn't explain why, it's because rachel bilson makes me look like I have rabies. <img height="320" src="http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2009/11/25/129036454122472218.jpg" width="241" />. The show is decently written, and is an easy, feel-good hour of tv. To say that Bilson is likable is an understatement.<br />
<img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51D2n88diQL._SL500_.jpg" /> had me before it even premiered. Emily Vancamp, a transplant from one of my fave shows ever, <img height="342" src="http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Brothers-and-Sisters-Wallpaper-brothers-and-sisters-422137_1024_878.jpg" width="400" /> stars in this very well written, unpredictable drama, no humor here but its addictive! Speaking of Brothers & Sisters (RIP) I knew ABC had to put an excellent show in that time slot, and they did. <img src="http://www.disneydreaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Pan-Am-ABC-Poster.jpg" /> is great!It makes me wish I lived in that era where people dressed up to take a flight! Theshow has an obvious "mad men" feel that I love and newbie Margot Elise Robbie is a dead ringer for a young <img height="320" src="http://celebritystatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/jaime_pressly.jpg" width="240" /> and...I ain't mad! Another show that I thought was going to do well but has already gotten the AX was <img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-102654" height="184" src="http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/the-playboy-club-350x184.jpg" title="the-playboy-club" width="350" />. I blame this in part to being a poorly done mad men knock off, as well as not great writing...to bad b/c it could've been great.

So I just read that the world still thinks Americans are "the coolest". While I have to agree that there are a lot of cool Americans, as a nation, we aren't. For instance <img height="320px" src="http://musicproducersforum.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/jay-z-04.jpg" width="266px" /><img height="320px" src="http://www.livsays.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Oprah.jpg" width="243px" /> and <img height="243px" src="http://cdn.buzznet.com/media/jj1/2006/12/beyonce_funny_face/beyonce-funny-face-03.jpg" width="320px" /> /<img height="160px" src="http://img03.blogcu.com/images/b/e/y/beyonceresimleri/10d6ff83eb673da1054b49fc569c7b8d_1307984068.jpg" width="200px" /> are cool but <img height="200px" src="http://www.yourfunnystuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/kanye-west-is-still-a-douche.jpg" width="140px" />, <img height="149px" src="http://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2011/04/Rick-Lake-Show-Logo.jpg" width="200px" />, and <img height="200px" src="http://image.lyricspond.com/image/a/artist-ashanti/album-ashanti/cd-cover.jpg" width="196px" />(remember ashanti) are NOT cool. The problem with American culture/freedom is that complete idiots are given the right to think they are cool. I'm all for equal rights blah blah and I appreciate the humor that comes from these people...but reallly?<br />
One great part of being an American is the pride we all have in our country. I love the 4th, fireworks, hot dogs, apple pie, and vodka (that's American right?) and agree that its great to be patriotic but unfortunately there is a fine line (that most people cross) between being patriotic and idiotic. For instance,<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.thedigeratilife.com/images/american-flag-cat3.jpg" />idiot.<img height="320px" src="http://superradnow.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/sam-bloomfieldamerican-flag-tattoo.jpg" width="216px" /><img height="320px" src="http://www.starcostumes.com/lgimages/R17110.jpg" width="209px" />. Really? First off, Cat Lady Liberty, maybe if you took more time "maintaining" your other cat, Uncle Sam Whiskers wouldn't be your only friend and second...I would just like to see tat guy & vest guy brawl to see who loves Amurica more! Losers.<br />

While Ricki Lake, Kanye and Stars & Stripes face are all lame, this next guy is a loser among losers. Daniel Bedard 36, who I can only imagine is the president of the Celine Dion Fan club, broke into the singer's<img height="320px" src="http://www.imusicdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Celine-DIon-funny-face.jpg" width="252px" /> home on September 6th. Apparently he did not plan to rob the singer but broke in only to draw himself a nice warm bubble bath <img height="400px" src="http://www.estergoldberg.com/.a/6a0105349ca980970c0153901a73ee970b-500wi" width="400px" /> . He also raided her fridge<img height="304px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-DSk2dwUb04/TFH57p5eUQI/AAAAAAAACHY/dYF62JWzU58/s320/celine-dion-face.jpg" width="320px" /> for some post bath pastry. When police arrived on the scene Mr. Bedard was coming down stairs and asked what they were doing there. He was quickly arrested. Once informed of what had happened Celine was disgusted <img height="200px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJg4RtlaXEsa3IGGFqPR3T2mk1wbrF3-ZYMx7zsYj5AhA8akvPgdlKq3OvBB71XaTnPmFS1QlFsKm0Ww2JhzxlBbJUp-V3I6K8aFlfdcvy5bR8hYSFsCrB8khyphenhyphenp2j84ROTTt7KM6y0VCo/s200/tumblr_li9durTYOZ1qi7k7io1_500.jpg" width="132px" /> and couldn't believe her ears <img _prototypeuid="5" alt="" class="media" galleryimg="no" id="fullSizedImage" src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a259/Bexi23/funny002.jpg" style="height: 327px; width: 400px;" />. She the quickly ran to her bedroom where her worst nightmare was realized <img height="213px" src="http://flicksbuzz.com/Assets/Images/Hollywood/Hollywood-News/Speaking-of-Celine-Dion-Shes-Got-a-New-Signature-Fragrance.jpg" width="320px" /> the crook had taken a gift Celine's old ass husband had gotten when he sailed to the US on the titanic. Sources say the priceless item<img height="174px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQYsvY79kPTKUuCf_eQOvBX5vBzVXr9FWJUXXt4mvDciF4hEYp2BQ3PSV53-LHybbAqLrYrAQla9mXRZF-BCF43ULaF88BFzFKSideRjAfjMujv7zMniUlBN6DxN2Zsut1q4Wh2VI7/s200/Heart_of_the_Ocean_Necklace_Photo.jpg" width="200px" />is still missing.<br />

That guy alone, well and Celine, are sure to knock us out of the top spot!Joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03785436551988712339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221159373382505243.post-38085941597188042152011-07-19T08:09:00.000-07:002011-07-19T08:09:35.844-07:00People are REALLY dumb.On the way to work every morning I listen to the news, mostly for the political updates <img height="156px" src="http://images.sodahead.com/polls/000425951/polls_D1423_Amazingly_Posters_2444_997688_answer_3_xlarge.jpeg" width="200px" />. No I really listen to hear about the stupid crap people get in trouble for doing. My faith in humanity is slowly being whittled away by these idiots that clearly are not wearing their <img height="200px" src="http://s6.thisnext.com/media/largest_dimension/F3319ED5.jpg" width="200px" />. Dumb ass #1 <img height="176px" src="http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/baby-for-sale.jpg" width="400px" /> apparently this isn't just a terrible lifetime movie...it's the great idea thought up by a Vancouver woman. 36 year old Heidi Knowles <img height="192px" src="http://media.kval.com/images/110718heidi_knowles_court.jpg" width="320px" /> (actual photo) attempted to sell her 3 day old baby, and that is the least sad part of this story. Not only did this LOSER try to sell her baby, she tried to sell the child for a bargain $500.00....at a taco bell.<img src="http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/baby%20taco%20.png" />. Really? It's obvious that you are an idiot, and probably inbred but that's beside the point. How did you come up with this figure... That the going rate for babies these days? This purse <img _prototypeuid="5" alt="" class="media noRightClick" galleryimg="no" height="200px" id="fullSizedImage" src="http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt67/bdavies_photos/394-coach-new-chelsea-tote-bag-.jpg" width="184px" />is $800 & this truck <img alt="image 0" src="http://images.craigslist.org/3n53k53l95V65P15R6b7ba70e9f57d0b41ad7.jpg" /> is $700. You really thought your child was worth less than this truck...which is probably where the child was conceived? Well then I started to think about your target market Ms. Knowles (related to<img height="200px" src="http://blogout.justout.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/beyonce.jpg" width="200px" /> )?? I think you should have at least went to McDonald's or if you were feeling extry greedy, maybe Applebee's where all of the rich folk dine. Do you know who eats at <img height="200px" src="http://www.1fastfoodcoupon.com/images/taco.jpg" width="171px" />...fat people, drunk people, and fat drunk people...none of which have much extra $$ to add a baby on to their $4.99 chicken quesadilla value meal. I mean if you dangle a $500 baby and <img height="158px" src="http://fast-food-nutrition.findthebest.com/sites/default/files/530/media/images/Taco_Bell_Cheesy_Fiesta_Potatoes.jpg" width="200px" /> in front of <img src="http://modmyi.com/attachments/forums/chit-chat/286931d1241484984-official-de-motivationational-picture-thread-fat-people-persistence-cookie-demotivational-poster.jpg" /> she's not going to pick the baby. Thankfully Beyonce's cousin was arrested (previous warrants surprise surprise) and the child was taken into protective services, hopefully forever. Unfortunately for Ms. Knowles, her bail was set at $500.00 which she was unable to come up with.<br />
<br />
Dumb Ass mom # 2 is just as stupid but probably a better parent. A Seattle mother left her 2 year old sitting by a 5th story <img height="240px" src="http://www.inspectapedia.com/sickhouse/WindowOpen022DJFs.jpg" width="320px" />. To no one's surprise (other than dumb mom) the baby fell out of the window. Thankfully, the baby only fell a few feet onto the <img src="http://ownednfail.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/balcony.jpg" /> directly below the window. Here comes the dumb part, the mother, seeing the child fall out of the window, without hesitation <img height="240px" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/42/98408751_b5a5712914.jpg" width="320px" /> out of the window. My thought...what were you going to do...land on your child after it hit the ground??? How would this help anyone? Fortunately for dumb people, the balcony also caught the mom, breaking her ankle in the process. Physically both mother and child were ok but they were sent to the ER to be evaluated, at which point the mother was given a cat scan that reveled she had <img height="320px" src="http://brainwaves.corante.com/no-brain-01.jpg" width="218px" />.

This has to be the WORST, saddest, lamest show on tv and I'm not entirely convinced that it shouldn't be illegal! They take these little girls and wax their eyebrows <img src="http://www.sott.net/image/image/s2/53748/full/0_eyes_175x175.jpg" />cake on the make up <img height="200px" src="http://sawesomesugargrass.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/skylar-nat-head-winner.jpg" width="154px" /> to the point that they literally look like a spazzed out doll, give them Texas sized hair <img height="200px" src="http://thedisgruntler.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/tacky-toddler.jpg" width="199px" />, which they obviously love, put them in ridiculous ensembles<img height="320px" src="http://www.sfgate.com/blogs/images/sfgate/sfmoms/2009/07/21/18934_LOWRES_205_DSC08736_m375x474.jpg" width="252px" /> and good Lord, they even give them fake teeth so their teeth aren't crooked <img height="200px" src="http://ariseandunbuilditagain.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/toddlers-and-tiaras.jpg" width="200px" />. They're babies...so they have baby teeth you psychos! This portion of the show is just sad, but these kids idiot parents are what make the show reality TV GOLD! The mothers of the sad little girls are just sadder little girls that were never pretty <img height="112px" src="http://netstorage.discovery.com/feeds/brightcove/asset-thumbnails/tlc/f350bd4b18359a75fce99086ce6fe6de72306524T.jpg" width="200px" />or are psycho competitive control freaks and have grown up to be sad little girls <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aoltv.com/media/2011/02/toddlers-300-1297940385.jpg" />in REALLY big girl bodies. These sad women drag their weak sauce husbands from city to city paying $1000's on clothing, pageant fees, make up, and their self esteem...all at the cost of their daughters. When their daughters win they act like it's the best thing that could happen in the world <img height="212px" src="http://images2.cafemom.com/images/user/gallery/post_1492147_1234366024_med.jpg?imageId=12682439" width="320px" />. Congratulations!!!! Out of all the 6 year olds that are made to look like 19 year old whores...you're the best one!!!! (Based on this photo...jerry curl ringlets aren't a hit!) And when their kids lose...ugh, it's disgusting. <img height="150px" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/110113/Toddlers-and-Tiaras_320.jpg" width="200px" /> Their Mom's are soo disappointed and often times seem mad that they "wasted" money on the pageant...putting guilt on the child and making them feel like it's their fault they were dealt a shitty hand in the parent department. In closing, just because your little girl hasn't gotten addicted to buffets, doesn't need fake hair clips from the mall, and can still button her jeans <img height="180px" src="http://www.growingyourbaby.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/toddler_tiara.jpg" width="200px" />doesn't mean you should paint on her face, dress her up like<img height="320px" src="http://blog.needsupply.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/the-nanny-hq-the-nanny-7669958-2029-2560.jpg" width="252px" /> <img height="217px" src="http://cdn02.okcdn.okmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Tom_Hanks_Toddlers_and_Tiaras_March1newsnea.jpg" width="320px" />and parade her around begging for her to be judged. Yes, more than likely you have self esteem issues but if you keep making your daughter feel like she's only worthy if she's dressed like a circus clown and wins...later in life she'll continue to dress that way...only she'll be swinging around a pole.Joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03785436551988712339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221159373382505243.post-46984003381064102092011-05-19T11:19:00.000-07:002011-05-19T11:19:29.675-07:00The OfficeI want to preface this blog entry by saying I am in no way complaining about my current worksite...merely seeing the humorous side of things...as I often try to do.

Ok, now take away every cool aspect of that set and that's my <strike>office </strike>cube. <img src="http://www.mytropicalescape.com/images/cubicle.jpg" /> Using this generic cubicle as a base...imagine that the cubicle walls are a deep shade of 70's maroon, well 2 of them are, the other 2 are two different shades/tones of wood paneling. The desk top is a greenish/blue marble pattern and the carpet is/was tan but has now been waterstained beyond recognition due to the rain that comes in through the double doors directly in front of my computer. These <img height="200px" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/34/89244035_3b9ba2e3f9.jpg" width="184px" />are the saving grace of my cubicle. They let in TONS of sunlight, and most days, after 2pm I become that loser that <img src="http://imagemaven.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/celebrity-pictures-rose-west-sunglasses-indoors1.jpg?w=640&h=392&crop=1" />. Well not actually but I've thought about it. My office manager was kind enough to get a tint to put on the door but it was applied so poorly that it resembles the tint you may see today on a 1991 Ford Probe.<img height="640px" src="http://badtintjobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/photo2.jpg" width="478px" />. All this combined with the lady in the cube next to me<img height="200px" src="http://www.shockya.com/news/wp-content/uploads/extremely_loud_and_incredibly_close_book.jpg" width="129px" /> that talks SO LOUD on her phone that regardless of where the person on the other line is, they could just hang up and still hear her...save your minutes playa...and I still love my office. This may have <strike>something</strike> a lot to do with the fact that a mere 18 months ago I was on my 3rd year of sharing a mini fridge with 35 people and a "desk" that was literally a stockroom shelf lowered to desk height...ugh don't miss those days!The way I see, I just tell people that I've got a corner office with double windows...and I'm not lying! Now that we've gotten a chance to picture the astetic of my office, lets talk about the <img height="200px" src="http://dailypostal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ANIMAL-PLANET.jpg" width="200px" />program that starts filming here next Monday. I started in this office in November...so needless to say, other than the suprisingly active to have such a sedintary body type woman that I have a direct view into her life thanks to my double doors, there wasn't much activity during the winter months. However as soon as the temps began to rise our first exhibit opened.<img height="239px" src="http://worldpestonline.intuitwebsites.com/Ants_vs_Termites.jpg" width="320px" />Termites!! The way they were tearing up my wood paneling you would've thought they were at <img height="240px" src="http://www.stillwagner.com/uploads/2010/05/lisa-wilson-at-golden-corral-dscf0093.jpg" width="320px" />(she's at golden corral). Thankfully they were quickly taken care of by Bill the Bug guy...that's how he introduced himself. At this point I didn't think anything about termites, I mean this building ( a former morgue) was built in the early 1880's so that's to be expected. However, when I started to hear baby birds in the <img height="164px" src="http://www.gilacourier.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/exit-sign.jpg" width="200px" />above my doors, I realized I was in Dr. Doolittle 3...or is it 4? Better yet...no one cares. When we contacted the building mangaer (this is not the only part of the building with birds in the signs/walls/cieling/etc. His response "I'm only worried about em if they's bats". Really? (Don't read this)<img src="http://www.removepigeons.com.au/images/Pest%20bird%20diseases.jpg" /><br />
Just because I'm not going to get rabies or turn into <img height="200px" src="http://images.pictureshunt.com/pics/e/edward_cullen-3205.jpg" width="162px" /> doesn't mean I'm not at risk. So now that we are close to completeing the circle of life (termites eaten by birds eaten by...SNAKES). Yep, I stepped out of my door to talk on the phone and saw a ball of snakes <img height="160px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifRHP_kg5fwOxF7hu42UQJkBH_UeUFl-GufKgWZN6a1l7I6JdRPBB4O_zUl6Vvj_D-m_H5UHNyyhHtGyIunaBThmMcBym3reAsBdpS1QCflQ_chjlrYCqA0uRVyFg9sldPIHb5nMlfZwgW/s200/ball+of+snakes.jpg" width="200px" /> directly outside my door, literally less than 10 feet from where I sit. Well I bring everyone out to look, and it's determined that they are harmless...but I don't care. We call <img height="320px" src="http://www.filmlinks4u.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Jake-The-Snake-Roberts-Pick-Your-Poison-2005.jpg" width="224px" />...may or may not be his name, I didn't catch it, and he laid out a "sticky pad" and lured the snakes out with cinammon oil??? Never heard of that. Well, it worked. I went outside 5 minutes after he left and saw (actual photo)<img alt="" aria-busy="false" aria-describedby="fbPhotoTheaterCaption" class="spotlight" height="720px" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/225011_10100173515196080_12904751_47689710_993414_n.jpg" width="540px" /> there are 4 in the pic, he caught a total of 8, and some got away b/c they simply slithered over their unfortunate buddies that were trapped. He said he sealed up the hole so any that were left can't get out...but all I can imagine is that they are now under the building and will soon be falling from the <img height="149px" src="http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/01/07/51/a5/dirty-air-vent.jpg" width="200px" /> that is DIRECTLY above my head. If and when that happens...if I survive <img height="200px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgviT6ntctGBAARMzID6x3g1Uxuhq5jXb3MPmU0vqtBxwongpvsqMXftNndGzOX-EvPfSl7aPV_DM9xOoznU0QhxM60-soSt_tMYVgRpomGzdNsnTI5qzDHvJ2M_azV4LWqrzlqX8TvDb4/s200/giant-snake-biting-fence.gif" width="166px" /> I may be asking for a transfer. I mean, I did want to be a Zoo Keeper when I was 7 but this is crazy.Joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03785436551988712339noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221159373382505243.post-9106844590196418822011-05-19T07:59:00.000-07:002011-05-19T07:59:07.253-07:00Howdy Doody, a nervous child & a RockStarSo, after all my bashing...Scotty made it to the top 3 this year; but so did Haley!! The remaining contestants each sang 3 songs in an attempt to make it into the finals. 1. chosen by them, 2. chosen by Jimmy Iovine and 3. Judges choice. For the contestants choice, they were coached by none other than my wife, the amazing <img src="http://www.celebritydietdoctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/beyonce.jpg" />! Up first was <img height="200px" src="http://www.tvcrazy.net/videos/family/images/howdy-doody-large-40.jpg" width="149px" />. His choice was "amazed" by Lonestar. Needless to say I was not amazed...well that was too easy. Beyonce gave a lot of positive<strike> fluff </strike>feedback, not really saying anything but of course the judges all washed his feet with their hair...why do they like him, ugh! Next was Lauren. From her audition I was convinced this girl would win...but not since her audition has she been great.<img height="110px" src="http://img.poptower.com/pic-45539/lauren-alaina-american-idol.jpg?d=600" width="200px" /> She obviously looks better (stylist) but her stage presence and confidence just isn't there...but she's barely 16 so it's understandable. She sang <img height="200px" src="http://themusicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/faith-hill-surgery.jpg" width="150px" /> "wild one". Perfect for a karaoke bar...or just a bar but not for the top 3 on American idol. Even if she would've knocked it out of the park, which she didn't, it would have been lame. Not a good round for her! Finally, the winner <img height="273px" src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Haley-Reinhart-You-Oughta-Know-American-Idol-Top-3-Video-MP3.jpg" width="400px" />came out and you could tell that Beyonce was very impressed with her, more so than the others. She sang a Zepplin song that I've never heard but she slayed it! She's the only one left that has any performance quality, she has the best voice AND she's FEARLESS!! It was pretty cool that her dad got to play guitar on stage with her during this first song <img height="177px" src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Haley-Reinhart-What-Is-And-What-Should-Never-Be-American-Idol-Top-3-Video-MP3.jpg" width="320px" /> but it wasn't cool that she <img height="200px" src="http://www.safetynewsalert.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/wet-floor.jpg" width="200px" />fell down right in front of the judging table. That said, round 1 EASILY goes to her beating out the snooze fests that went before her...and for once the judges agreed with me. Round 2 was Jimmy Iovine's round. For <img height="200px" src="http://blogamole.tr3s.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/1132033511.jpg" width="142px" /> he picked "Are you gonna kiss me or not". The judges thought he was amazing, said Garth Brooks and Bruce Springsteen had a baby tonight and it's you...are you kidding...this kid has basically same the same song 50 times...he's a one trick <img height="200px" src="http://sweeetstrawberry.webs.com/photos/My-Little-Pony/my-little-pony.jpg" width="200px" />. He picked "if I die young" by The Band Perry for Lauren, which I thought was a great choice. She did ok to start with but flubbed the ending and her nerves... and her age definitely showed throughout the first 2 rounds...again rough round for her. In what is probably, in my opinion, the best pick of the season, Jimmy picked <img height="200px" src="http://www.simplyartonline.net/Stevie-nicks.jpg" width="182px" /> "Rhiannon" for Haley. Now, if you look back in previous blogs, several weeks ago I said Idol should have Stevie and Haley perform on the finale...just sayin! Haley's performance could probably win the Idol crew an Emmy. She looked amazing, the lighting was perfect, she had a fan blowing her hair...and she sang it flawlessly!<img src="http://blogs.ajc.com/american-idol-blog/files/2011/05/Haley-rhiannon-193x300.jpg" /> To no one's surprise the judges didn't love it and they said that Howdy Doody won round 2...are you kidding me? During the commercial break Beyonce premiered her new video for her new song that I HATE! The vid was petty cool though, kind of a glamorous (thanks fergie) Dooms Day/Mad Max feel...she has a pair of hyena's as pets!! <img _prototypeuid="5" alt="" class="media" galleryimg="no" height="156px" id="fullSizedImage" src="http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt217/daxamike/bs.jpg" style="height: 156px; width: 320px;" width="320px" />. Anyway, Round 3 was the judges pick, unlike previous seasons (because this one is rigged) the judges <strike>didn't</strike> each get a contestant but each person got a text from "the judges". For <img src="http://i51.tinypic.com/ofswvo.jpg" /> they picked "she believes in me" by <img height="128px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkZtL_fdturF229okHU-mzBbGnEPnKDqe1WP01NSOwxRMwLSQ2rQVYPBIETwqijBDaYps6XzLBsCE7sWMAwSjHiRKQbGaS3BAfC283RCmMmO-A2Ede4V0XPITFibN_YZ-tkKWra9EVUHBG/s200/kenny-rogers-plastic-surgery-2.jpg" width="200px" />. I thought it was one of his weakest performances EVER, he strained in his upper register...however the judges loved him. Gennifah <img _prototypeuid="5" alt="ugly" class="media" galleryimg="no" height="162px" id="fullSizedImage" src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u304/bud694c/ugly.jpg" width="200px" xloc="22" yloc="245" /> even let the <strike>twat</strike> cat out of the bag when she asked "Will you please shave your head for the finale". Really??? How does she know he'll be in the finale...and if he is I'm moving to another country. Safest pick ever the judges chose "I hope you dance" by leann womack for Lauren.<img height="209px" src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Lauren-Alaina-I-Hope-You-Dance-American-Idol-Top-3-Video-MP3.jpg" width="320px" />It was her most pageant-y performance to date...I'm nervous for her. The judges loved it and Jennifer said she had won the round...BEFORE HALEY EVEN WENT! Could they be more obvious as to who they want in the finals?? Haley sang "You Outta know" by alanis morisette for her final performance. Guess what...she was amazing! She has no nerves, can fall down and still sound better than her competition and hits a home run every time!! Will all that, she still came across as the underdog...I think it's obvious that the producers want Scotty to win...no way is Lauren going to out sell <img alt="Carrie Underwood Singer Carrie Underwood arrives at the 43rd annual Academy Of Country Music Awards held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 18, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada." height="320px" id="currentPic" src="http://www3.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/43rd+Annual+Academy+Country+Music+Awards+Arrivals+vREgK6g-4hHl.jpg" title="The 43rd Annual Academy Of Country Music Awards - Arrivals" width="219px" /> and ...can you think of a successful white male idol winner...NOPE. Hopefully the calluses on my thumbs from dialing and re-dialing were enough to get Haley into the finals...if not, well I guess it's not that big of a deal but I probably won't watch.Joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03785436551988712339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221159373382505243.post-25394002859611445902011-05-12T09:51:00.000-07:002011-05-13T13:28:51.839-07:00Clutch your crucifix & IDOLize Lady GagaSo it's Final 4 time...Idol, in a random genius twist, brought on <img height="200px" src="http://xfinitytv.comcast.net/blogs/files/2010/07/LadyGagaMiguelVillagranGI.jpg" width="200px" /> to mentor the final 4 contestants...but made us wait til the second half of the show to see her. Each contestant sang 2 songs...the first being one that <img height="149px" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-aNptUh1aBE/TUyQ-wNYlJI/AAAAAAAAAMg/9Pd0NDcHDTA/s200/Inspirational.jpg" width="200px" /> inspires them. James opened the show with the white people bar anthem "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. His reason for choosing this song...because he "hasn't stopped believing" since he got to Idol. Good Lord, please shut up.<img height="145px" src="http://justpiper.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/james-durbin.jpg" width="200px" /> I havent' stopped believing that he's annoying as hell and waaaaaaaaaay to cheesy but I'm not singing about it.<img src="http://www.autismkey.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/james-durbin.jpg" /> He ended this performance...and his next performance by throwing his arm in the air and fire shooting from the stage. Get over yourself. If Adam Lambert was on this season, by comparison alone you wouldn't have made the top24. Just because you have an eyebrow twitch<img src="http://www.directom.com/internet-marketing-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/spock-raised-eyebrow.jpg" /> and don't wear mascara doesn't mean you aren't a 2nd class version of a D list celebrity <img height="216px" src="http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2009/11/7/129021223009292076.jpg" width="320px" />. Surprise Surprise the judges loved him, sang his praises...gag. For his second song he "sang" love potion #9. What kind of choice is that?? He did better with this one that the first...but again decked out in leather, metal studs and one ear ring (Rocker Douche Must-haves). Unless something weird happens He'll be in the Top 3...but I won't be upset if he left.<br />
The most talented person on the show<img height="206px" src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Haley-Reinhart-Earth-Song-American-Idol-Top-4-Video-MP3.jpg" width="320px" /> went next. She sang "Earth Song" by <img src="http://www.crawdaddy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Michael-Jackson-dead.jpg" />. Her explanation as to why the song inspired her was great, as was her performance. I didn't love how the church choir sounded paired with her voice, but it was still really good. Surprise Surprise <img height="200px" src="http://tinfoiler.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fat-Albert.jpg" width="140px" /> & <img height="200px" src="http://thebosh.com/archives/70896396_0bb26fcb4a-thumb.jpg" width="151px" /> didn't like it. Randy kept running off at the mouth until a very pissed off Haley tells him "I've already heard what you have to say". Steven Tyler <img height="256px" src="http://crazytownmayor.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Steve-Tyler-funny.jpg" width="320px" /> i.e. the only one with that isn't deaf...told her not to listen to them...she was great. For her 2nd, GAGA coached song she sang "I who have nothing" Gaga loved her and Haley murdered the song. This time all 3 judges gave her another standing O, second week in a row, and said it was her best performance on the show. Needless to say<img height="110px" src="http://reddogreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ivoted.gif" width="200px" /> for her 3,000,000 times but I'm worried that her snarky back talking may have gotten her into some trouble. Fingers crossed!<br />
<br />
Scotty McCreery<img src="http://www.overstockdrugstore.com/product_images/w/041608087482.jpg" />went next. He opened with the smartest/lamest song choice of the night. He sang the 9/11 Death to <img height="185px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhNP0x2Um1a8pg_fogfGs0hCipxbKnSwNswVzhFj5DlYYdMV6C0l1Avhy6Ngj2jVdjMi8s9J2iOJqxxKQToQzj-6YV4xDAPxZ7rBCr86XK0cKRWG2f7ychr7b3K_wv2Mo7muPCZHb1j3w/s200/bin-laden.jpg" width="200px" /> anthem "Where were you when the world stopped turning". Given recent events...smart choice young man...however it sounded like every other thing you've sang and the fact that you cried makes me want to VOM. Gennifah said "I'm in lub wich u" ??? what... a <img height="267px" src="http://www.kevincharnas.com/uploaded_images/chonga-761883.jpg" width="320px" />. For his gaga song he sang some cheesy awful song. During his coaching session with one of the most creative people in the world, he clung to the crucifix around his neck, and kept kissing it. He kept throwing holy water on her and screaming <img src="http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2010/3/4/129121880116297266.jpg" />. Gaga said after he left..."He's more conservative than I expected". He twisted around the stage with his crooked neck sewn to his right shoulder, his eyes bulging out and looking douchier than ever ...(see below)<img src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Scotty-McCreery-Young-Blood-American-Idol-Top-4-Video-MP3.jpg" />. Of everyone he should go home tonight...he just doesn't have what it takes to win...and he's soo annoying!<br />
Lauren I think won the first round by singing "anyway" by Martina Mcbride. <img height="269px" src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Lauren-Alaina-Anyway-American-Idol-Top-4-Video-MP3.jpg" width="320px" /> She looked good and sang better than I've heard her sing probably the entire season. For the <img src="http://www.accesshollywood.com/content/images/145/120x120/145509_lady-gaga-serves-as-mentor-on-american-idol-may-11-2011.jpg" /> session Lauren sang Elvis' "trouble". She tiptoed around and didn't want to say she was "evil" Gaga talked her into playing a character and she did, performance wise, better than ever!<img src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Lauren-Alaina-Trouble-American-Idol-Top-4-Video-MP3.jpg" />. She was in the bottom 2 last week but I'm confident that she will make the top 3!<br />
Not a bad show over all...I can't see anyone other than scotty...or maybe Haley b/c of her back talk, going home. I'm going to <img height="200px" src="http://caitlinscharacters.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/fingers-crossed.jpg" width="150px" />and hope <img height="211px" src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Scotty-McCreery-Gone-American-Idol-Top-5-Video-MP3.jpg" width="320px" /> takes his crooked face home!Joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03785436551988712339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221159373382505243.post-5770206075533002572011-05-05T10:16:00.000-07:002011-05-05T10:16:12.565-07:00The 137th Kentucky Derby<img src="http://www.vzaccess.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/kentucky-derby_o8sq.jpg" /><br />
The Kentucky Derby is perhaps the ONLY classy thing associated with this state. This "most exciting two minutes in sports" draws crowds from all over the world. Tons of celebs, politicians, and even <img height="266px" src="http://dailygumboot.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Queen-Posting4.jpg" width="400px" /> was here a few years ago. Of course she had a special <img height="276px" src="http://www.vermontbridemagazine.com/_images/vendor-images/classy-pottys/classy-pottys-pic1.jpg" width="400px" /> flown over. In my opinion, Derby is as much about the traditions as it is about the actual race. For the ladies, it's a chance to show off who's got the biggest <strike>ovaries</strike>/deepest pockets as they find pretty dresses and ridiculous hats : <img height="172px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif8rn7SESUH14y1rR-wAoASe1JGyQoGiAeOpLGuKPUYM-zlz-Lu0j8XjCElzL-1kDu1-gdtZGIroTvaV3y7yRwpXCjxPGnjEM-OVEx_NPeyDyx7vs3l_fh6BnR2fGKK_uuG3-xsgxmSxBo/s200/KENTUCKY+DERBY+HATS+7.jpg" width="200px" /><img height="140px" src="http://www.kylandsales.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/kentucky_derby_hats1.jpg" width="200px" /><img height="136px" src="http://simplymarvelous.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/derby-hat-9-ps1.jpg?w=400&h=273" width="200px" /><img height="241px" src="http://simplymarvelous.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/derby-hat-1-ps.jpg?w=400&h=302" width="320px" /> it's basically a white trash <img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1641" height="142px" src="http://simplymarvelous.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/derby-hat-7-ps.jpg?w=400&h=285" width="200px" />excuse to dress like you're attending the<img height="200px" src="http://www.simplyhairstyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Royal-Wedding-Kate-Middleton-Wedding-Hairstyle-500x775.jpg" width="129px" />...<img height="200px" src="http://mbanyumili.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/princess-beatrice-royal-wedding-crazy-hats.jpg" width="121px" /> (that could be a derby hat). My wife, and several of her friends are taking the less dramatic/more "in" approach this Derby and wearing a fascinator...which is basically a headband with a dead bird glued to it.<img height="320px" src="http://www.weddingfascinators.co.uk/images/Silver-Wedding-Fascinator-Mayfair-2.JPG" width="240px" />. For us guys Derby is all about drinking (as most things are) and <strike>losing money</strike> gambling. If you've never had the signature derby drink, a Mint Julep <img height="200px" src="http://img4.myrecipes.com/i/recipes/su/05/06/mint-julep-su-682571-l.jpg" width="200px" /> I HIGHLY recommend it. There are many variations but it's basically<strike> heaven</strike> bourbon, simple syrup, mint and ice. On derby day Woodford Reserve sells a limited number of $1000 <img height="320px" src="http://www.shoppingblog.com/pics/mint_julep_derby_09.jpg" width="253px" />! This cocktail comes in a 24k gold plated cup and has some pretty exotic ingredients: sugar cane cut and crushed by hand from Sainte Marie in the Reunion Island of France; Turkish mint grown near the Euphrates River; ice made of water from an aquifer in the wilderness of Central Norway; and a small batch of the Master Distiller's personal selection of Woodford Reserve. I've only had a couple of these in my life <img height="194px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc4lEqljJGWQ1oLN9_VKa4Fu-ffqMrgZBOFczNHKyqZFguJIQ9yC6TgY3AkMx5KhBaUfvZ7m9FC76Fsr2uU76f5VonY1wuCr9Jc5uae9b1NoztqTJMw6ZgNXJynkmCH5b4r70ehwHrrLml/s200/liar.jpg" width="200px" />but it's for a good cause, all proceeds benefit the permanently disabled jockey's fund. As far as betting goes, forget it. I've never won a single penny on a horse race...but maybe this will be my year. For up to date information all of this years derby horses...click here <a href="http://www.kentuckyderby.com/contenders">http://www.kentuckyderby.com/contenders</a>. Good Luck, and my only advice...don't drink so many mint juleps that it's impossible for the person taking bets to understand what you're trying to <strike>slur</strike> say.

She completely <strike>overshadowed </strike>harmonized with them and showed what real talent looks like. The theme of this week was <img src="http://www.angkulet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/now-and-then.jpg" /> and the contestants sang a current song and a song from "then"?? WTH. James opened the show with a studded leather vest , GAG and a 30 seconds to Mars song which I thought he destroyed, in a what the hell is wrong with you kind of way. His 2nd song was "Without You" by <img src="http://gyantunplugged.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/mariah-carey-precious.jpg" /> but of course he "sang" the rock version. He sounded awful and cried...really man, what's wrong with you...milk your situation for as many votes as you can! Bottom 2 in my opinion based on last nights performances.<br />
<img height="222px" src="http://www.havenhart.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/jacob_lusk.jpg" width="320px" /> went next and sang <img height="200px" src="http://www.you-tube-music-videos.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Jordin-Sparks-chris-brown-no-air-s.jpg" width="200px" />. He tackled both parts of the duet and then was tackled by everyone that liked that song before but now hated it. He sounded awful and his Drag Queen Runway walk dance moves made me nauseous. He shrieked "Love Hurts" for his 2nd song. Haley could've KILLED this song but with him it was sooo high pitch that my dogs left the room and the only reason it was tolerable was b/c the first song sucked SO bad. Without question he is going home tonight...as Rupaul would say...<img height="200px" src="http://rlv.zcache.com/sashay_away_mug-p1680761008321047952phf3_400.jpg" width="200px" />. <img height="291px" src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Lauren-Alaina-Unchained-Melody-American-Idol-Top-5-Video-MP3.jpg" width="400px" />Lauren had the middle spot and did pretty well, better than she recently has. She started with "Flat on the floor" by <img src="http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/poplife/sites/tampabay.com.blogs.poplife/files/images/typepad-legacy-files/46615.carrie_underwood_legs_2.jpeg" /><img height="198px" src="http://sigmundlinn.blogetty.com/uploads/carrie_underwood_small_03.jpg" width="200px" /> and did not do better than the original...but who could. "Unchained Melody" was her 2nd choice and I thought she would KILL it but it never went anywhere. It sounded nice and she looked good but it was just blah. That said, I still think she'll easily be in the finals.<br />
<img src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Scotty-McCreery-Gone-American-Idol-Top-5-Video-MP3.jpg" />Really, you're still here. This idiot, which people seem to like, sang "gone" by Montgomery Gentry...sounded like everything else he's ever sang and then he butchered "you were always on my mind" <img _prototypeuid="5" alt="Fat Elvis" class="media" galleryimg="no" height="368px" id="fullSizedImage" src="http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy133/RoyalXS/FatElvis.jpg" style="height: 368px; width: 300px;" width="300px" /> rolled over in his grave, I fell asleep, and Wille said <img height="320px" src="http://www.tokeofthetown.com/2010/11/29/WillieNelson-1.jpeg" width="251px" /> twatty.He didn't do as bad as Jacob, but I'd rather see him go home.<br />
Haley went 5th and sang an unreleased <img height="124px" src="http://cbswbbm.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/lady-gaga_crazy-face.jpg%3Fw%3D385%26h%3D240" width="200px" /> song, which GAGA gave her permission to do. The judges didn't like it and Haley looked PISSED, but who can blame her..if you're on a karaoke show and one of the worlds most famous musicians allows you to sing a song they haven't released...if you don't do it then you're an idiot! Steven was the only one that had something positive to say to her and he said he thought she was "One killer song away from being the American Idol." FINALLY SOMEONE WITH SOME SENSE! She closed the show with "house of the rising sun" <img height="214px" src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Haley-Reinhart-House-of-the-Rising-Sun-American-Idol-Top-5-Video-MP3.jpg" width="320px" />and blew everyone out of the water! The judges gave her a standing O, which I thought was much deserved. I re-watched the performance 3 times, which I don't usually do. This girl, is more talented & more entertaining than everyone else on the show combined! She has to win this or AI is a joke. Really, white guys that win don't have the best luck...Taylor Hicks works at Burger King, David Cook sings at Kings Island, Kris Allen had one "hit" and Lee Dewyze is a back-up singer for Crystal Bowertwats. I'd buy her cd today, her voice is amazing and I think for the finale FOX should set it up for her to do a duet with <img height="200px" src="http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2006/02/10/magical_narrowweb__300x402,0.jpg" width="149px" />. Bottom 2 should easily be any of the guys. I hate Scotty, RU did TERRIBLE and James was a total mess. But I'd have to say Jacob will be packing his <img height="200px" src="http://cdn3.iofferphoto.com/img/item/201/812/922/new-louis-vuitton-graffiti-luggage-bag-pink-5f4e0.jpg" width="200px" /> tonight.

Skank Example A (lcoholic). Poor Poor Charlene Johnson <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWQetokTA-Q-DZcPbWZi6ub8tXhfZeq-Jne0-xENZ8gcNXikEFnHxK6azr4cyrraJumOdYxhNAmCXrBsSLeA_dkfFujFMbIwRoNW1ddIlycsDiQB8aroP1eNf7bRKIjefkHvAOz1KN90s/s400/Charlene+Johnson.jpg" /> (think she's drunk?) was pulled over in Stuart, FL on SUSPICION of DUI...police say her car was weaving from lane to lane. As police approached the car, they found Ms. Johnson <img height="200px" src="http://thesmartlyoc.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/crying-child.jpg" width="181px" /> and 100% naked in the drivers seat<img height="159px" src="http://vasitm.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/censored.jpg" width="200px" />. When officers asked her why she was so upset, she explained that she had gotten into a fight with her boyfriend<img height="200px" src="http://www.wrensnestonline.com/blog/wp-content/chris_brown.jpg" width="150px" />. As to why she was naked, she said "I don't know". Really...Idiot. Officers go on to say that as she got out of the car <img _prototypeuid="5" alt="" class="media" galleryimg="no" height="488px" id="fullSizedImage" src="http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww129/bluelink_photos/070209-drunk-fall-out-car.jpg" style="height: 488px; width: 490px;" width="490px" /> she could barely stand and they had to save her from falling into traffic several times. She struggled to put her uniform back on <img height="320px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBzspAHlKNGUfnO1BZ1frfbWY-MpGcXYPsyPEeeimvTzP-5MS2EATZtQJvWbMZkJr_KxM0l_i1kmXPLpAne-PSCHqaeOobceeMkltooQUAmUkjd5B4pe9fPpmxOVG7bMMRdDutQhi-uJQo/s320/Julia+Roberts+and+Laura+San+Giacomo+in+Pretty+Woman+(1990).jpg" width="256px" />and was arrested for DUI, possession, and for being a complete loser.<br />
<br />
Example B (ikini wax). Personally, I try not to text and drive, drive and eat...I mean we all do it but it's not smart. Obviously Megan Barnes <img src="http://www.cbsnews.com/i/tim//2010/03/09/17_370x278.jpg" /> of FL is more talented that the rest of us...or so she thought. Florida highway patrol says that this <strike>Lady </strike>caused an accident because she was too busy shaving her <img height="176px" src="http://www.texasento.net/bee-swarm.jpg" width="200px" /> (that's a bee hive) to pay attention to the road. At the scene Ms. Barnes said she was on the way to a date and "wanted to be ready for the visit." Listen Lady, I realize that mugshots are never flattering. That said, with a face like that and a severe need for <img src="http://img4.realsimple.com/images/0910/hair-paris-blonds_300.jpg" />I think it's a safe bet that whatever homeless man you were going to get paid to have sex with would've been ok regardless of your...situation. If you lived closer I'd have you call <img alt="Where Commerical and Residential Clients Expect The Best." height="235px" src="http://www.missmowitall.net/lawn_care/miss_mow_it_all_truck.jpg" style="float: none;" width="314px" />. Yes, it's a landscaping company called Miss Mow it all! To no ones surprise, Ms. Barnes does not have a valid drivers license oh, and the day before had gotten a DUI. This lady is a total twat...with an impeccably groomed one!<br />
<br />
Lastly, this poor poor poor man.In Maryland, Police are on the hunt for a "prankster" that put <img height="320px" src="http://img.xatakaciencia.com/2010/05/ct2-16_superglue.jpg" width="320px" /> all over the toilet seat in a wal-mart bathroom. The police arrived at the scene to find the 48 year old man stuck to the <img height="200px" src="http://www.treehugger.com/toilet-llqq-001.jpg" width="200px" />. It took more than 15 minutes for officials to remove the man from the stall<img height="200px" src="http://www.emotionalcompetency.com/images/shame.jpg" width="157px" /> but they were unable to remove the seat from his...behind and he had to be taken to the hospital. No serious injuries were reported. What a sticky situation...lesson learned, NEVER use the bathroom at <img height="230px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc1WYxLjdLqXwnkNYOj_dwoTLFWV4yGmYMatnnra_ha4aDw4mXdwJhv-Ku8tlnp8qK8vDoP651u33BhHqrZA0Abjo8bj8YDLT-YNmROPDofnB72lwPx0RGrr_MVi6vV6h3_L6F8k16Uto/s320/ws1.jpg" width="320px" />Joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03785436551988712339noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221159373382505243.post-41289870488778932802011-04-28T08:35:00.000-07:002011-04-28T08:35:10.502-07:00Carole King Idol...i.e. songs no one has ever heard.American Idol is the KING of strrreeaattccching a show to fill a time slot. Last night started off with a 35 minute introduction of <img height="200px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7G1G0tU4gGDSeoT8gjFmTeH2D8d2oBhn5i31taRj625b5emQOSu9SGOwyHzqIj3D0PgxvInzEKflYIDXWTO8Ckqey2mV5Lq23CMB3KOo_-1R5YnVpjQ-lrnlkd4xi3chzLzWNFH8sPA/s200/Carole+King.jpg" width="163px" /> followed by a 20 minute recap of Kenneth <img height="200px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMbdKvjY478cIqZHE075xx8M13rWvIl3-ojWmwL0ReglQNbiJWTVIgDz75DwZXsuNWT4bBQi1h9PCBmgMWZtq_6OEn_cpDeocLATc5TPzM9M36OQXauRu1TV4crIQtNoiq7FnVwb-0-oE/s200/kenneth-babyface-edmonds.jpg" width="200px" /> Edmonds career...blah blah if you don't already know who these people are, chances are you don't care to learn about them on a karaoke show. It was apparent last night that IDOL is done with <img src="http://monroega.us/cityhall/gallery/jacob-lusk-get-ready-american-idol-hollywood-group.jpg" />. They dressed him in the lamest outfit I've seen and put him in the first slot after he was in the bottom 2 last week. To make matters worse he sang a song with the lyrics "My sweet baby that's not like those other <strong><u>girls</u></strong>,"...<img height="301px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlrf35Je5VEbqAi1C0qeSyglN9_Pd2zXeRQ-ZI28DCJS7aXkGiu-vSUEuHHbRPoJldoArfjZHY4eGWCKsATY6_MPMErzT2Keg93ThV6A4z7MaUnJSJVNC1UBrqWvI-Rdm3nhv1CxeWSl1T/s320/liar+2.jpg" width="320px" /> c'mon man...really? Following the train on Jacob's dress was <img height="320px" src="http://img.poptower.com/pic-45718/lauren-alaina-american-idol.jpg?d=600" width="213px" />.While I still don't think she's in it to win it, her likability and talent make me think she's got a pretty strong following...she's just been pretty blah to me lately performance wise. After Lauren was the 1st<strike> time filler </strike>duet of the night. In my opinion <img height="307px" src="http://www.intouchweekly.com/content/2011/03/Idol0329.jpg" width="320px" />duet was phenomenal and the only one of the night that was worth watching. She's amazing. After that wonderfulness came<img height="320px" src="http://cdn.tasteofcountry.com/files/2011/04/scotty-mccreery-040111a.jpg" width="212px" /> how is this twat still around<img height="320px" src="http://www.exposay.com/celebrity-photos/scotty-mccreery-2011-american-idol-finalist-gFyWoP.jpg" width="206px" /> he sang one of my favorite/one of the only ones that I know, Carole King Songs, for him, he did ok but gosh I hate this guy. <strike>Ryan Seacrest <img _prototypeuid="5" alt="" class="media" galleryimg="no" height="400px" id="fullSizedImage" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd35/twink521d/tinkerbell-4.gif" style="height: 400px; width: 306px;" width="306px" /></strike>called him "Scotty the body"...really? and once he performed he did this dbag look into the camera...ugh I wish someone would <img height="186px" src="http://evilcycling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/punch-to-the-face.jpg" width="200px" /> him in his stupid crooked face <img height="124px" src="http://cbsknci.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/scotty-mccreery.jpg%3Fw%3D385%26h%3D240" width="200px" />. For the 2nd week in a row I was kinda impressed with James Durbin...last night I got the sense that he may win...I have no idea why he would win...and if that happens I foresee him, and Idol going off into the abyss with <img height="200px" src="http://static.unrealitytv.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Lee-Dewyze.jpg" width="133px" /><img height="200px" src="http://cdn.blogs.sheknows.com/realitytvmagazine.sheknows.com/2009/09/american-idol-kris-allen.jpg" width="136px" /> and the rest of the non-successful Idol camp. Maybe they can all start a new band with <img height="200px" src="http://www.palzoo.net/file/pic/user/Randy-Jackson.jpg" width="200px" />. After James was the 2nd duet of the night. <img src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Lauren-Alaina-Scotty-McCreery.jpg" />looked like this during her duet with <img height="320px" src="http://www3.whig.com/whig/blogs/idol/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/lauren-and-scotty-vegas.jpg" width="240px" />. Reason being...he cannot sing with other people and he dumped a big bucket of douche juice all over her talent...this kid has got to go! <img height="400px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv4VsRpYHu8ePXvg9qIVNytkIDT-Dl6VDrVM7AUUlNOH3Maec21-8jL5Ka34eUJ_EZgjH3JOSsB8vAIrbdJlR5mcjWAZm0Xt1sZ9CGOJkpgSsBUtu5whaSAble3n8eWVXn5yg3_DoOuBw/s400/JENNIFER-LOPEZ-FALLS-AMA-JLO.jpg" width="230px" /> said Lauren you're amazing..oh and twatty, it's hard to sing second behind a voice like that. Casey and all his coolness followed that train wreck. <img alt="" height="265px" src="http://d2mpzxlns1ef35.cloudfront.net/Users/3/Images/caseyshittersfull.jpg" style="float: left;" width="320px" />He is the only guy that I like and I think he is crazy talented...but it wasn't my favorite performance of his...I don't even know if anyone has ever heard that song before. I'm nervous for him tonight.<br />

HOPEFULLY that slot will work for her and she won't be in the bottom this week, I'd say she was in the top 2 performances of the night and GENNIFAH said she has one of the best voices in the competition...I'm going to "wishful thinking" and say that despite her consistency in the bottom 3, this girl is a dark horse and is going to make the finals...and hopefully win! I think her or Lauren are the only ones that have the potential to capitalize on winning and have a successful career. Closing the show was the biggest <img src="http://netdna.copyblogger.com/images/train_wreck.jpg" /> of all. Jacob and James did a duet...there isn't even anything to say.<br />
I'm not sure if they'll do a bottom 2 or 3 this week but my bet <img height="200px" src="http://robotceleb.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/casey-abrams-elton-john-275x366.jpg" width="150px" /><img height="200px" src="http://xfinitytv.comcast.net/blogs/files/2011/03/scotty-mccreery.jpg" width="200px" /> & <img height="134px" src="http://cdn02.okcdn.okmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Jacob_Lusk_Idol_April7news.jpg" width="200px" /> with Rupaul going home...but I hope it's Scotty.Joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03785436551988712339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221159373382505243.post-38633763177721058012011-04-26T11:14:00.000-07:002011-04-26T11:14:02.697-07:00These is hard times.I realize that times are tough for a lot of folks right now, and I am VERY grateful to have employment. I'm even more grateful for the "are you kidding me" moments that happy nearly everyday. Priority one of my job is to find employment for clients that are un/under employed by offering various tools to assist them in re entering the work force.Yesterday a co-worker and I were looking over some resumes, which is really the first impression a new employer has of you right?...after thinking it over, I decided I would let everyone know what NOT to put on your resume.

</div>1. your resume should be professional, clean, easy to read...and unless you're applying for a job at <img height="256px" src="http://prophecynewsalert.net/wp-content/uploads/20100531-Lemonade-Stand.jpg" width="320px" /> it should NEVER BE HAND WRITTEN. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7al8UPSN2FDS-5MjmvJPArCpWkkO8RYK2t-iNqb86Iv1SYFY5EieIOcJZkT_duAdXmVWRNTxDzcarg0wHVGQ1TvAT-i2jKzPcihGPUIDeFAhCx8WtsYb9Lp76SlD-g0p5Kvj1RkP8qky9/s1600/DSCN0362.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="215px" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7al8UPSN2FDS-5MjmvJPArCpWkkO8RYK2t-iNqb86Iv1SYFY5EieIOcJZkT_duAdXmVWRNTxDzcarg0wHVGQ1TvAT-i2jKzPcihGPUIDeFAhCx8WtsYb9Lp76SlD-g0p5Kvj1RkP8qky9/s320/DSCN0362.JPG" width="320px" /></a>Do this only if you're trying to stay on unemployment!<br />
<br />
Ok so now that we are aware that resumes should be typed, lets discuss some things you shouldn't include in your typed resume:<br />
<br />
2. Unless you are a <img height="200px" src="http://futureoffantasy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Priest-Collar.jpg" width="131px" />NO ONE cares about your religion so please do not include that.<br />
<br />
3. There is also no need to include your age or gender, even if you're name is Jesse or Terry or some other <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibZeE2ImPKCoJBgLqfRcfwxU6CB8r3DZx4O_4XY88XY9BwHlIINyNisV4zRTB-qXT0JreLp_3jB45wUih31w98_XRM8IhJTWGIOJA-6KsFiuG9kj9KNXr-bJpBNQAC5abHWqhrMpAb8UA/s200/gn.jpeg" />(gender neutral) name, it's no longer cool to discriminate based on gender so again, irrelevant.<br />
<br />
4. <strike>Your </strike>Someone Else's future employer also could care less if you are single, married or <img height="132px" src="http://www.lawyerscareers.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/divorce-lawyer.jpg" width="200px" /> which apparently there is a cake market for??? <img height="282px" src="http://www.singlemommyhood.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/3926378492_4a9203cfee_o.jpg" width="320px" /> & <img height="320px" src="http://www.sydesjokes.com/pictures/d/divorce_cakes006.jpg" width="240px" />Really?<br />
<br />
5. Unless you are auditioning for a movie role, there is no need to include your weight <img height="211px" src="http://www.weightlosssupplements101.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/medical-weight-loss-program.jpg" width="320px" />The only person that cares is you...I'm more concerned with why that man painted his toenails? WTH.<br />
<br />
6. I've seen more than one resume with the names and ages of every child and grandchild listed...<img height="320px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdO4doLj4bs_NUlRICqNCP0yXX6ymv7LOrigIauAND0hXg-XQj5EKCTmaLpHTfTWFVcCZ_3ZDq9O6avW1BxdCeZ641XxDX2NYJC6kbAxmBJpfFaN-3GTYosElrosg4AzINNvev2mJQUvVK/s320/Duggar+family.jpg" width="274px" />Unless your applying to a stupid reality show...why???<br />
<br />
7. You should have taken your objective off of your resume by now...why it was ever a good idea I'm not sure but if you must keep it, please don't have most VAGUE/obvious objective i.e. Objective: To find employment...oh so that's why you made this resume,<img height="173px" src="http://libertypundits.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/idiot-picture.jpg" width="200px" /> sorry bro you wasted your time.<br />
<br />
8. It is no longer 1986 so everyone should have an email address by now...and most do. That said, as EASY and FREE as it is to create an email...Why, <a href="mailto:YummyMommy69@whatever.com">YummyMommy69@whatever.com</a> when applying to a daycare would you not make a new more approprite email, you too <a href="mailto:ladyofthenite@gmail">ladyofthenite@gmail</a> , <a href="mailto:stealyoho@areyoukidding">stealyoho@areyoukidding</a> and <a href="mailto:cougarontheprowl4u@igiveup">cougarontheprowl4u@igiveup</a> what misfire is going on in your brain that you think anyone will take you seriously with that <img height="200px" src="http://filer.livinginperu.com/news/FlyOnShit2.jpg" width="143px" /> at the top of your resume.<br />
<br />
Now, hopefully no one reading this has any of that crap on their resume...but if you do, <img height="200px" src="http://potholesinmyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/yc-the-cynic-youre-welcome.jpg" width="200px" /> for this free service. If you have one, which you should, make sure your cover letter is an actual letter and not a <img height="127px" src="http://www.onlineusanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Post-It-Notes.jpg" width="200px" /> stuck to the front of your resume...and there is no need for the cover letter to say "cover letter", trust me, they know what it is. Finally, after you've got your resume nice and clean...please don't go all origami on the poor thing just so it will fit into a tiny envelope <img height="150px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMxQVTqHNIecmwHSoeVP3wPvk7yw8BKae0fkkxTI7rtb3oqGcd0VdYtcevKhd3RyJyXussV87TJcdIn1dvxIrG2bmwUH00aAKkOl0ohdQvSRiaakL_HeDO0HvzpZenJoLDyWjisI85wpu2/s200/tiny+envelope+1.JPG" width="200px" /> they make large envelopes you idiot, you're not writing to your <img height="150px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjabSXkaFzQK1OqonBa06WJLt3tNC8K3GfU6vAiEL4JRAwL5Oa4lQDdifR5mYw16PT2h-SouGVwRMl0hhpm42KZx8upDUDiWabBkp0nBtR-o4RMBpxvdfRk88EPH3kvW6FH0slj5fTfTXI/s200/PenPals.jpg" width="200px" />you're trying to get a job.Joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03785436551988712339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221159373382505243.post-30604000915105849512011-04-21T08:00:00.000-07:002011-04-21T08:01:00.556-07:0021st Century Douche<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Idol opened the show with one of the most random/terrible performances EVER. They brought back the eliminated top 13 and had them perform as a group. First, other than <img height="155px" src="http://www.parade.com/images/-v5/celebrity/2011/0410/hollywood-wire/main-pia-toscano.jpg" width="200px" /> and maybe Paul...no one wants to see these losers...that's why they got eliminated. They sang "Rock star" by Pink...which as you can imagine Really suited Paul's Rod Stewarty voice. Ugh, waste of time. One thing that I did enjoy about this episode was the contestants opinion's of each other...everyone said Jacob was a <img height="89px" src="http://www.womenfishing.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/diva.JPG" width="200px" />! Surprised? <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjIKYMa6hLTIayrijXj_-5iZojK83bcgfAHrP2R345QYj-rpt5Nfn2kR8WE4UouKBYxUOQWPWacI2SWDNUK5WnMj4dYaSuFPlczVcayRnD3JVuWOEBXqw1COc01INl4JqhDPSQX9-KfWTY/s1600/Scotty-McCreery-American-Idol1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjIKYMa6hLTIayrijXj_-5iZojK83bcgfAHrP2R345QYj-rpt5Nfn2kR8WE4UouKBYxUOQWPWacI2SWDNUK5WnMj4dYaSuFPlczVcayRnD3JVuWOEBXqw1COc01INl4JqhDPSQX9-KfWTY/s320/Scotty-McCreery-American-Idol1.jpg" width="243px" /></a> I hate this kid so much I'm not even going to say his name. By far, he did the WORST last night, AND idol had him on first so hopefully he'll be out of here tonight. My only tip for him is straighten out your freakin head/neck...good Lord you're annoying. <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQMTdOhXhlGFaBEFvFr_VXb1q0u33PRstGE-2giPSbKtOloX9wGvSQDyY2xKEPPA72EVXUMRCDqJ_oO9Gox74K7PuRnsBEe6nAECZtDk42eQ-bdI1ERoz6amBih0xUobEJpceVh9MKgJw/s320/scotty_mccreery_210x156.jpg" /><img src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Scotty-McCreery-American-Idol-TH1.jpg" /><img src="http://jennifer-lopez.me/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/watch-scotty-mccreery-add-517-0-150x150.jpg" /><img height="148px" src="http://static02.mediaite.com/gossipcop/uploads/2011/04/Screen-shot-2011-04-07-at-9.07.26-AM-300x222.png" width="200px" /><img height="320px" src="http://aibeshe.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/3892b__scotty-mccreery-american-idol.jpg" width="240px" /><img height="132px" src="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/scotty-mccreery-picture.jpg" width="200px" /><img height="210px" src="http://cdn.tasteofcountry.com/files/2011/04/scotty-mccreery-041411b.jpg" width="320px" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCCPApZtL4lSJFWYFpSj_jCugUdGyCtxfp2JB9VAdZZyMXNObD-a4nDrLpVpqocm3JwqPd9FISUFf4HzBSTwLoQYKiH8899ZZb3SDiZ4KqsWuXpQeeZGNvnKFu542mc6E4ZYXhTxLukeJn/s1600/7192-Scotty-McCreery-017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCCPApZtL4lSJFWYFpSj_jCugUdGyCtxfp2JB9VAdZZyMXNObD-a4nDrLpVpqocm3JwqPd9FISUFf4HzBSTwLoQYKiH8899ZZb3SDiZ4KqsWuXpQeeZGNvnKFu542mc6E4ZYXhTxLukeJn/s320/7192-Scotty-McCreery-017.jpg" width="212px" /></a></div><img height="295px" src="http://3391.voxcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Scotty-McCreery-Get-Ready.jpg" width="400px" />bye McDoucher. Now, don't judge me but I actually liked James Durbin last night...<strike>probably</strike> 100% because he sang my favorite MUSE song ever, had a drum line, and did pretty well.<img height="320px" src="http://www.exposay.com/celebrity-photos/james-durbin-2011-american-idol-finalist-1Q8WCw.jpg" width="206px" /> still not loving him though. Haley went next and I CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY SHE KEEPS GETTING BAD REVIEWS FROM THE JUDGES AND GETTING STUCK IN THE BOTTOM 3!!! <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMGzzronfLSoZEPvGYIITvREunirfji8QtBGPSUr_sC6Ac8wXf8kV-65ADWybnh81PHADkE1VYQp7OKwkpAQLeaubV2ZG8wbFTUi2s-fp6berx7MQX6y12QgKwx8Go7L6JUB9ZjLkBM-7w/s400/Haley-Reinhart-Picture-9.jpg" /> This girl's voice is literally phenomenal...it's strong and smoky and growly and nasty and pure...It's perfect, yet twatty and all those other losers keep getting better reviews WTF. She sang "rolling in the deep" by my fave<img height="180px" src="http://resources3.news.com.au/images/2011/01/12/1225986/308651-hit-adele.jpg" width="320px" />, I thought she killed it...she better not be in bottom 2 this week you idiots!<img height="222px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6W2dwuGpF4QbLvCjSsCB7WCvVHemRQ7wAwBk4_3jB0IRnVESIxcaDOcy195gcXszwns-Bb0pFDkzw27WEH6Qk88Ddj-w9Dpthlps0HwAcKIH4cDdi7f7C13KWzDLNyiGgE6y40iSB-KY/s320/idiot-41423.jpg" width="320px" /> Jacob Lusk...<img height="200px" src="http://www.make-upusa.com/cosmetics/lipgloss1.jpg" width="166px" /> went next. Now even I feel bad saying something mean about someone singing about their dead father. He did ok...same ol' dramatic mess. This guy is talented but I guarantee this will be his album cover <img height="200px" src="http://www.missbrain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/yawning.jpg" width="140px" /> because he's sooo freaking boring!! <strike>The Geico Caveman <img src="http://securitymarketingguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/geico-caveman.jpeg" /></strike>Casey Abrams went next. I've been on the fence with this guy but I thought he did a great job with Maroon 5. However, I thought it was lame and outdated that he borrowed his outfit from the <img height="315px" src="http://media.techeblog.com/images/honey_i_shrunk_the_kids.jpg" width="320px" /> set. <img src="http://www.sirensurf.com/Art/HotTamaleLogo.png" /> Stefano went next. Everyone on his "confession" vid talked about how big of a flirt he was, how cute he was, basically how horny he was...que Gennifah stealing Steven Tyler's Pashmina<img height="320px" src="http://earsucker.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/steven_tyler050908_nc.jpg" width="221px" /> to sit on for the rest of the show. Stefano sang "closer" by Ne-Yo. I thought he did pretty well but in my opinion the dancing was a little premature...you're not <img height="240px" src="http://cdn.okiah.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/enrique-iglesias.jpg" width="320px" /> yet Homez. In my opinion, from the beginning, the contest has been <img height="266px" src="http://cdn.popcrush.com/files/2011/03/LaurenAlaina.jpg" width="400px" /> to lose. And she's trying her best to lose, last night's theme was 21st century songs and she picks "Born to Fly" by Sarah Evans, mediocre song and artist...REALLY? Do you want to win? Ugh.<br />
Based <span style="background-color: yellow;">only </span>on performances last night (remember I was nice to James) I think the bottom 3 will be <img height="131px" src="http://cdn.tasteofcountry.com/files/2011/04/scotty-mccreery-041411b.jpg" width="200px" /> <img height="200px" src="http://stefanolangone.com/wp-content/themes/thesis_18/custom/rotator/stefano-langone-003.jpg" width="189px" /> & <img height="163px" src="http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/jacob-lusk-mugshot-american-idol.jpg" width="200px" />. My vote is for Scotty getting the boot, TERRIBLE SONG, WORST PERFORMANCE and he went first.

Exhibit A...a piece of <img src="http://www.thirdbaseaustin.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/whitetrash.jpg" /> (Mr. Byrd)that happens to live in a town very close to wear I grew up was arrested recently for D.U.I. This happens to the best of us, my issue isn't with his <strike>drinking</strike> doing drugs and driving,well I have issues with that too, but it's the rest of the story that gets me. Kentucky is known (I'm being optimistic) for mint juleps, <img height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrH_gm_CI0XAdqt2b39_s7xVHUk8mYu2pUlvO61_n5Mdy_Nbb0X_X8TbhYQ7Zghdg1RiJqAfYu2N1AQVvU1-PNE5FqYykoTvfTQ80ttQ45epG4YkD-WstteouQk0z4F8-2Kr8ZuWfJXtFJ/s200/derby+hat+1.jpg" width="139" />derby hats<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif8rn7SESUH14y1rR-wAoASe1JGyQoGiAeOpLGuKPUYM-zlz-Lu0j8XjCElzL-1kDu1-gdtZGIroTvaV3y7yRwpXCjxPGnjEM-OVEx_NPeyDyx7vs3l_fh6BnR2fGKK_uuG3-xsgxmSxBo/s1600/KENTUCKY+DERBY+HATS+7.jpg" />, horses, and of course basketball. However Kentucky is also looked at as the trailer park of the U.S.A., no it's not west Virginia, only Kentuckians think that way. Mr. Byrd took every potential redneck tool in his arsenal and just added fuel to this trailer fire. He was driving his <img height="209" src="http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~tomhart/images/redneck.jpg" width="320" />down the road when his pre-paid cell started to ring. He sat down his Budweiser, held his cig in the corner of his mouth, as he'd been doing since age 9, and looked down to find his phone. As he did this, because he is both stupid AND drunk, he begins to drift toward the shoulder of the road...which he completely went off of and hit another <strike>car</strike> oh wait...never mind it was a lawn mower!!! <img height="171" src="http://www.thedickinsonpress.com/media/full/jpg/2010/10/25/1026-mower.jpg" width="200" /> Thankfully the man with the lawnmower is going to be ok...but not before he had to be airlifted to the hospital. Mr. Byrd was arrested for operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs, first offense, possession of marijuana, first-degree wanton endangerment and <strong><u>failure to have insurance</u></strong>. So you pop a bunch of pills, grab a joint for the road and run over some poor guy mowing his grass <img height="177" src="http://cheaplawnmowers.biz/wp-content/uploads/ff_lawn_mowing_1.jpg" width="200" /> all without having car insurance...you are a total moron. When you get out of jail I suggest you call this guy <img src="http://www.safeauto.com/images/Content/JustinCase/justincase.jpg" />. IDIOT.<br />
Idiot #2...Don Derfler (yes that's his real name) couldn't believe what he saw as he looked from his living room window last week. <strike>A UPS Driver made a "special" delivery and asked "what can brown do for you"? </strike>Now that would be funny, but it wasn't UPS it was a USPS mail man <img src="http://www.freewebs.com/pratchersbooksformysteyfunlovers/mailman.bmp" /> that pulled his pants down and dropped a deuce in Mr. Derfler's neighbors bushes. Now Mr. Derfler doesn't get off the hook...Only God knows why but the Derfster<img src="http://resonateordie.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/nerd.photographer.retro_.jpg" /> proceeded to start snapping photos of the mail man AND of what he left behind in the bushes for "evidence". <img src="http://jamiegaymon.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/amy-winehouse.jpg" /> (that's how you say EWW without using words). The United States Postal Service is "disheartened" and "disappointed" says Ron Anderson and the postal worker has been suspended without pay until the matter is "cleaned up".

<br />
Pauly opened the show and broke out the "night time" version of his rose suit. <img alt="Now that's a suit: Paul McDonald sang Old Time Rock and Roll from the movie Risky Business" class="blkBorder" height="229" idx="13" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/04/14/article-1376717-0B9E5EA600000578-541_634x455.jpg" width="320" /> He <strike>spasm'd </strike>danced around the stage and did ok...but I'm over it...and he's one of my favorite guys. I think Steven summed up the performance when he chose to first comment on how great Paul's sax player ways and Ryan Seacrest said wants to have sax with Paul. Since he was recently in the bottom 3 I think he'll be OK, but not for long.<br />
<br />
Lauren went 2nd and sang "the climb". I already loved my Miley Bird<img height="320" src="http://media.onsugar.com/files/2010/05/19/4/831/8317659/2d21700d4e95a95d_miley_bird_dress.jpg" width="216" /> and had high hopes for her, but it's the 1st time I've seen her look as if she was trying, I wasn't impressed and I thought it was kind of a mess but the judges all really liked it. I did love that seacrest made fun of how tall her mom's hair was<img height="184" src="http://topidolblog.com/wp-content/uploads/lauren-alaina-suddeth-mother-grandmother-ai10.jpg" width="320" />. She's very likable though and I think she's safe, especially since J-lo pleaded for America to vote for the girls.<br />
<br />
Stefano followed and he was worried, as he should be after barely beating out my pi-p. Ironically, he sang "END OF THE ROAD" and was dressed like like he was going to a bar. He did pretty well, still probably my favorite guy...but apparently me and the rest of stupid America don't have the same view <img height="153" src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/4da242db4bd7c8af11020000/pia-toscano.png" width="200" /> : (. After he sang Hopez had an orgasm, forgot where she was and cursed on idol. :"That was the shit!" After he read the #'s Ryan said, "Stefano...girls" and as the camera pulled away u heard girls screaming and a loud THUD! Gennifah fainted.<br />
<br />
Twatty was next...Will.i.am hates him, he looked like <img height="133" src="http://cdn.popcrush.com/files/2011/04/will.i.am041111.jpg" width="200" /> the entire time Scotty was rehearsing and then the little d-bag called jimmy Iovine "dude". If I never have to see this douche again I'll be a happy man. <img class="image maxWidthHack" height="239" src="http://s1.faceinhole.com/11/4/14/67c277db4e9914243.jpg" width="320" />GROSSEST DBAG EVER. The judges love him...wtf??? Please go home.<br />
<br />
Casey, I LOVE "in the air tonight"oh wait...then he changed to the song jimmy advised against...and then, while he sang, <img src="http://x75.xanga.com/2c4f2a1420031265400391/z211650266.jpg" /> crawled out on stage and fell asleep smoking hookah...which then filled up the entire arena with smoke. Kinda boring if you ask me...but you have to admire this guys talent, the judges got it right when they said he's an artist...but remember Crystal Bowerdreads...where is she now? And I'm over it...along with the standing ovation he got.<br />
<br />
Haley...I don't want to jinx this girl like I did my PIA but as charlie masheene says "winning"! <img src="http://www.exposay.com/celebrity-photos/haley-reinhart-2011-american-idol-finalist-0Ft5cO.jpg" />This is my pick to win it, she has THE BEST VOICE IN THE COMPETITION. She KILLED Blondie and murdered the purple thigh high boots! She's also the best performer, so best singer and performer..what else to you need? The judges didn't like her but love <img height="200" src="http://amoscontentgroup.com/amos/upload/2011/04/scotty-mccreery-300x420.jpg" width="142" />...screw them.<br />
<br />
Jacob...haha jimmy Iovine took the crown off the queen and told jacob to stop preaching<img height="200" src="http://www.pulpit-pimps.org/images/Jakes/T-Dexter-Sweats.jpg" width="177" />. This girl is soooo dramatic when he sings that if he wore his regular clothes, heels and a weave, he would def. break a heel and rip out the weave for effect. I hope we put this guy and scotty in a boat and send them off together, let them both sing and see who jumps over board to drown/be eaten by sharks first.<br />
<br />
James...haha <img src="http://www.remotepatrolled.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/James-Durbin-Saturday-Nights-Alright-For-Fighting-Elton-John-American-Idol-10-.png" />talked about his passion and argued with the record execs, while he was wearing his mom's jeans and his wife's tank top. QUEEF ALERT. The only thing good about this mess was watching the most beautiful woman in the world rock out with her diamond studded barrette while he climbed up on the judges table and kicked over all of their Jack and Cokes. On 2nd thought, put this twat on the boat with those other 2 losers. I'll tell you who'll drown first...they all will, the boat will find a way to sink itself.<img class="image maxWidthHack" src="http://s1.faceinhole.com/11/4/14/f1db7db4e91d21141.jpg" /><br />

Bottom 3: James, Casey, and Rupaul ( I wish scotty would leave b/c I hate him the most).

First of all, I do NOT recommend following in our footsteps and attempting to kill yourself and/or your liver by marinating it in alcohol all weekend. One guy focused on his bourbon and helped out with the beer while me, and the other 2 guys destroyed the following in a matter of 2 days. One very large bottle and one medium bottle of<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><img alt="imgres.jpg" height="320" src="webkit-fake-url://35A59A42-18BB-41AF-8839-B76B12A755BB/imgres.jpg" width="115" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">one large bottle of</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><img alt="imgres.jpg" height="320" src="webkit-fake-url://99FE25C1-4190-43D7-A250-53F72B0EB6AD/imgres.jpg" width="100" />one large bottle of</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><img alt="imgres.jpeg" src="webkit-fake-url://A2C38DAC-E766-4F20-B4D2-7346032C5BA1/imgres.jpeg" /> and 2 750 ml bottles of</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><img alt="imgres.jpeg" src="webkit-fake-url://4DAE7E17-8C08-47D2-B49D-A0D3812546BF/imgres.jpeg" />. We all literally had the shakes half way through Monday, along with night sweats and tremors...Vodka Detox anyone?? REALLY?? That said, for sure take plenty of alcohol...I mean in hindsight I don't think any of us would've turned down any of those shots, it is a bachelor party after all. Take along some stupid stuff too, i.e. We had these fun/stupid straws that made every drink taste like plastic but we still wore them</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><img alt="imgres.jpg" src="webkit-fake-url://CB7BE89E-E22E-45EB-9FC4-34F6F9369E0D/imgres.jpg" />. We also made awards for the bachelor to hand out (drunkest, most shots taken, best drunken wipeout...etc.) Now, due to the ridiculous amount of alcohol we drank, we never got to these awards, but none the less, still a fun idea. We also created a very cool T-shirt, that unfortunately we didn't have time to make...but I suggest making the Bachelor an "inside joke" T-shirt, and maybe one for everyone. Now, the Perv in the group... <img alt="poster_perv.jpg" height="512" src="webkit-fake-url://7AF25C53-13F6-484C-83DB-D72C6FBC2955/poster_perv.jpg" width="640" />thought it would be funny to bring a</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><img alt="imgres.jpg" height="317" src="webkit-fake-url://33549783-2E6B-4D07-BAB2-CB2D004ED005/imgres.jpg" width="400" />Her name was Miss </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Dusky Diva and she just floated around in the hot tub, until I got drunk/annoyed with it and threw her to her death 3 stories below. He also brought a pocket...well another inappropriate toy that at some point got lost and left behind.The missing "toy" along with the scattering of beer cans and mini blow up doll that were left among the trees surrounding the cabin made me very happy that my name wasn't on the lease!! Other than this, we played several games of</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><img alt="imgres.jpeg" src="webkit-fake-url://F71D0799-FC8F-422B-8634-33F91E339914/imgres.jpeg" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> took waaaaay too many</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><img alt="imgres.jpg" height="239" src="webkit-fake-url://2EBDC250-7BFC-47FA-9D27-82C950A02306/imgres.jpg" width="320" /> I mean</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><img alt="imgres.jpg" src="webkit-fake-url://A03579AD-71D2-430F-B774-EA1835045BB8/imgres.jpg" /> ate a lot of junk food and had a blast. The only negative of the entire weekend, 4 drunks that have the shakes, sitting in bumper to bumper traffic making what should've been a 3 hour trip last 5 hours...but the sun was out so whatevs. Even though I had to take a sick day on Monday to recover, I'd do it again this weekend without a second thought! One last thought, that whole "no phones" rule...don't follow that. Happy Wife Happy Life, pissed off wife while going through vodka detox..</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><img alt="imgres.jpg" src="webkit-fake-url://8D4C1840-7038-473E-BACE-CA7CA827F008/imgres.jpg" /></span>Joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03785436551988712339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221159373382505243.post-47368505824712044002011-04-07T08:35:00.000-07:002011-04-07T08:35:49.986-07:00Rock n' Roll!<strike>Janice Dickison</strike><img height="320" src="http://www.celebrity-sunglasses-finder.com/image-files/janice_dickinson-4.jpg" width="249" /> I mean Steven Tyler <img height="320" src="http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Pages/Entertainment/images-9/steven-tyler-mouth.jpg" width="217" /> opened the show with a tribute to the Rock and Roll hall of fame. I love that man, he made fun of his old clothes and when he kissed a form of himself he said "2nd prettiest bust I've kissed all day." I wish this man was my DAD!!! Jacob Lusk opened the show with a remix of Michael Jackson's "man in the mirror." He sang "Tran in the mirror".<img _prototypeuid="5" alt="" class="media" galleryimg="no" id="fullSizedImage" src="http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i63/SpankaMonkey2day/black-drag-diva.jpg" style="height: 300px; width: 400px;" />. This guy can sing but I'm ready for him to hit the road...and leave FOX and head for VH1 to start drag racing! Haley went next and as of this week, she is my favorite!<img height="320" src="http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000_Bpsn4b5p2E/s/700/7192-Haley-Reinhart-018.jpg" width="212" />This girl's voice is officially the best in the competition. She sang Janis Joplin and killed it. It started a little rough but she knocked it out! If America has any sense, this girl will be in the finals, her voice is sooo nasty...but in a cool way! <strike>Casey Abrams</strike>Yukon Cornelius went next <img height="235" src="http://www.choosy-beggars.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/yukon_cornelius.jpg" width="320" />. I can't overlook this guys talent, and he sang a song that I really liked, but I don't see him going the distance. Not much to make fun of him for this week. <img _prototypeuid="5" alt="" class="media" galleryimg="no" height="400" id="fullSizedImage" src="http://i614.photobucket.com/albums/tt229/rsl2/Leon/LaurenAlainaIdolPromAmericanIdol10th0uZY_lKvLXml.jpg" width="257" /> went next and I was officially disappointed. Mr. Tyler and I agreed that this girl was the one to beat based on her audition...but she just isn't showing up. For instance she sang "Natural Woman" and she's like 9 years old...didn't really come across as believable. I still think she'll sail through to the top 4 or 5 but unless he can up her game, she's no longer a potential winner. This season's douchey-er version of Adam Lambert<img src="http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2011/3/8/8338e845-6605-4600-b637-402cb5944761.jpg" /> went next. This guy is head to head with Scotty for my least favorite person on the show. Yah he had a sad intro story, but that was months ago, he cried last night during his "my guitar gently weeps" song. TWAT Alert!!! He's just annoying...case in point<img src="http://dclips.fundraw.com/thumbdir/arrow05_1.jpg" /> <img height="200" src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/James-Durbin-American-Idol1.jpg" width="151" /><br />
<br />
As much as I hate to admit it, Scotty actually wasn't that bad this week. Don't get me wrong, his facial expressions and dance moves still made me cringe but his voice sounded really good. Still hate him though.<br />

</tbody></table>Mrs. Lawhorn went next.<img src="http://www.piatoscanosite.com/profiles/piatoscano/images/pictures/Pia-Toscano-009.jpg" /> She FINALLY sang an uptempo song "River Deep Mountain High, " by <img height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvy6padikrvMuciDfiS0gL0lj8nEnHIrujrtP3DTSnS_fptqEuk6-5wMm_hTfc01X6X8T4PtBH9EGrvEv4bXJZkGr8N1GlQ8r77y9MIRq-C-ojL8OKOF3EfEh88jbFQOu60t9_ECBfXd0/s200/tina_turner.jpg" width="150" />Tina Turner<img height="200" src="http://www.funnycelebpics.com/system/items/85192.jpg" width="164" />. I actually was a fan of this song before, and she did it justice. My only issue is she didn't move much. If she could sing and dance at the same time, I'd still give her an edge over Haley, but as of now PIPI has fallen to the #2 spot in my book. (only based on voice, not looks : ) ). Jennifer Lopez's<img alt="Jennifer Lopez Ugly Photos" border="0" longdesc="Jennifer Lopez Ugly Photos" src="http://www.uglypeoplephotos.com/jennifer-lopez-ugly-1.jpg" /> lover Stefano went next. Who can blame Gennifah I mean <img height="320" src="http://img.poptower.com/pic-45727/stefano-langone-american-idol.jpg?d=1024" width="213" />or anything would be an upgrade <img src="http://www.europaplus.tv/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Mark-Anthony.jpg" />is Mark even allowed to live within 100yds of a school?? Stefano sang "When a man Loves a woman" and did pretty well. He's for sure one my top 2 favorite guys. My Wifey's fave closed the show. I was on the fence about Paul, still kinda am actually. He's quirky but I don't think he's got the vocal chops to hang around much longer on Idol. I like the guy though, maybe after he's kicked off he can get a job doing tooth paste commercials or as Bradley Coopers stunt double <img height="212" src="http://cdn.idolator.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Paul-McDonald.jpg" width="320" />. I think the bottom 3 SHOULD be <img height="142" src="http://www.liveforthefunk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Jacob-Lusk-Ranking-Top-11.jpeg" width="200" /><img height="160" src="http://cdn.1061evansville.com/files/2011/03/AmericanIdol_JamesDurbin-250x200.jpg" width="200" /> <img height="160" src="http://cdn.wyrk.com/files/2011/03/Scotty-McCreery-031711-250x200.jpg" width="200" /> based on last night, I see Jacob going home...but I'd rather James get the boot.Joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03785436551988712339noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221159373382505243.post-65080667138448739302011-03-31T11:46:00.000-07:002011-04-01T06:03:10.569-07:00Elton YawnNow, I'm not a HUGE Elton John fan, I can appreciate his talent and love a few of his songs, but in general he's not an artist that I follow. When I heard Idol was doing Elton week I wasn't that excited...for good reason, for the most part it was pretty blah.<br />
<br />
The Idol producers must have not wanted me to watch b/c they opened with the contestants that I HATE. Twatty McDouche <img height="320" src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Scotty-McCreery-American-Idol1.jpg" width="241" />opened this show with what I thought was a Keith Urban orignal but apparently I was wrong. He <strike>sang </strike>Country Comfort and gave a shout out to his granny (which was nice). All of the judges agreed that he did well and they liked the way he performed. I hate him, I hate his douchy stance, his face, the way he sings out of the side of this mouth<img height="157" src="http://www.palabuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Scotty-Mccreery.jpg" width="200" />, pretty much everything about him sucks. I hope he goes home this week.<br />
<br />
Naima came directly from the set of cool runnings<img height="179" src="http://cf1.imgobject.com/backdrops/dbe/4bc90db9017a3c57fe004dbe/cool-runnings-original.jpg" width="320" /> . She started out by talking with a fake accent (lame) and was wearing a collared jamican bob-sled uniform<img src="http://static.wetpaint.me/ai/ROOT/photos/150/naima-sings-elton-1301532203.jpg" /> she ties with scotty for the most annoying person on the show. She sang Elton John regae which Genifah politely said "was a better idea than execution". I think it all sucked, go home already!<br />
<br />
Paul Mcdonald had a farm...I mean a florist. This guys suit...is something only he could pull off...<img src="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/sites/default/files/2011/03/pm_c_p.jpg" />. I really like Paul, I think he's very talented and unique, but I'm not sure how far he can go on blindingly white teeth and quirkiness. It's a singing competition, and he needs to start pushing is voice. I see him in the top 5 but not sure how much farther than that he'll go if he doesn't do a little more.<br />
<img src="http://api.ning.com/files/lD4nuu5MCf5RHh*Sy-ziFW0LfptwGFt8A6o9IshHW6bzo8wbscDWYhSaH3GfgbaxWUpvlVN-6Kt1Z2*Jz0EGZ00a5UjgOO1r/PiaToscanoPictures.jpg?width=490&height=399" /> Pia sang "don't let the sun go down on me". She's getting kind of boring but she keeps KILLING it, she is sooooooo good, and even hotter than she is talented! See you in the finals!<br />
Stefano <img src="http://www.cartype.com/pics/362/small/speedy_gonzales.jpg" />was in the bottom 2 last week...and barely made the top 10. He started out kinda blah but I thought he pulled it out at the end. Hopez actually asked to see his "tiny dancer" he blushed. He ended the song by grabbing Jho's hand and she melted.<br />
<img height="240" src="http://i.usatoday.net/communitymanager/_photos/idol-chatter/2011/March/30/LaurenAx-large.jpg" width="320" /> is one of the only contestants, in my opinion, that can give PIPI a run for her money. The edge that Lauren has is that her singing is COMPLETELY effortless. She's phenominal and the control that she has over her voice is amazing.<br />
<br />
James Durbin, throw him out with the trash (scotty & naima). He set the piano on fire and in my opinion should have thrown his mic in the fire and ran off stage. He's a HUGE QUEEF!<br />
<br />
<br />
Thia <img height="320" src="http://ideagirlconsulting.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/thia-megia.jpg?w=500&h=666" width="240" />...honestly I thought she already went home. She is soooo freaking boring no doubt she's gone tonight!<br />
<br />
Casey.<img height="212" src="http://theashleysrealityroundup.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/CaseyAbrams4.jpg" width="320" />..was probably the best guy of the night...hated him last week, the redic reaction to him being saved, was he going to faint??...ugh get a ginger grip. But he did great this week...even though I can't watch him w/o thinking he's Will Ferrel doing a musical skit.<img height="320" src="http://cache4.asset-cache.net/xc/95008060.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=77BFBA49EF878921A343B2C87A49D8F5B9FD670D6E3E2EA128C5B58CEBF587F2DD865F92C483634CE30A760B0D811297" width="231" /><br />
<s>Rueban Studdard </s>jacob lusk untied his dramatic red bowtie to sing Elton. <img src="http://static.wetpaint.me/ai/ROOT/photos/150/jacob-lusk-sings-elton-1301536611.jpg" />He's very talented but my gosh drama. The stage with lit up with pink and red fog while he <img src="http://cbswysp.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/jacob-lusk.jpg?w=385&h=240" />bawled and cried<img height="145" src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Jacon-Lusk-A-Song-For-You.jpg" width="200" /> and drooled <img height="227" src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Jacob-Lusk-Ranking-Top-11.jpg" width="320" />all over the stage. Relax Ru.<br />
<br />
Haley...her voice is redic.<img src="http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/110330/american-idol-haley_320.jpg" /> If she hadn't been in the bottom so often I could see her in top 3 easy. I could go on and on and on about her talent. I don't even like bennie and the jets but she made me enjoy it. She murdered that song, in a good way. Best of the night for sure!<br />
<br />

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE COLOR BABY...Blue. jean. shorts!I love the fact that I am an Alumni of The University of Kentucky. What other school has more devoted, loyal, ridiculous fans?? Monday morning, after our amazing win on Sunday, the top news story was about a UK fan that tied a pair of jorts to a broom handle and waved them in the air at the airport...really? My friends all grabbed the scissors and cut off the bottom 1/2 of their jeans<img alt="" aria-busy="false" aria-describedby="fbPhotoTheaterCaption" class="spotlight" height="240" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/190149_949988333730_12921848_47286980_6833282_n.jpg" width="320" />, my mom spent over $200.00 buying final 4 shirts for my entire family (except for me...rude) and the mayor of Lexington declared, <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNV3aBs5kes0rX4eYiLWXlPC2lLi1r8VvhspLyOHvWpOHhh74YJMdo89fvYflWX0cwlqyq6AU22ffS030Pw82GFmMJkMQMBZFKp6kRHpc4fDdHpAYcrl15Jtl4UCbh36o2FtOKv2YfdXqJ/s1600/jorts+day.jpg" />. Being a Kentucky Basketball fan is soo exciting, fun, nerve-wracking...all of which are reasons to drink...a lot! So in order to somehow displace my anticipation for Saturday night<img src="http://www.urbanride.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Final-Four-2011-181x150.jpg" />I've came up with several things we can all do to make it the most memorable final 4 yet!<br />
<br />
1. While being a KY fan is forever...<strike>thankfully</strike> jorts are not. Harrellson is leaving this year so you HAVE to take advantage...everyone has to be wearing jean shorts on Saturday (preferably homemade). Remember, you will get made fun of if you are wearing these <img height="200" src="http://blogs.pointradio.com/files/2010/06/jorts.jpg" width="109" />, any of these <img height="288" src="http://www.pollsb.com/photos/o/32686-basic_jean_shorts.jpg" width="320" /> and you will be watching the game alone if you wear <img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qp8_aNp24Yg/SrUjAd7U1xI/AAAAAAAAFeI/CTJi1lUhSVk/s400/jorts1.jpg" /> (probably a DUKE fan). So just grab the jeans you paint in, or that don't really fit anymore, or that pair from your early 20's that are waaay to destroyed for someone your age to wear in public and cut them off at the knee. DONE.<br />
<br />
2. Also, I think each party should have a "biggest UK fan" contest. The winner being the person that wears the most blue/uk gear etc. You have to wear your hat, light up necklaces, pins, sunglasses, shirts/hoodies, socks, shoes <img height="200" src="http://img2.prosperent.com/images/250x250/images.channeladvisor.com/Sell/SSProfiles/23000211/Images/62/KEN01.jpg" width="200" />(you could probably even wear these to the bar on Saturday and no one would say anything). I have my nephew for a few hours on Saturday and I'm definitely putting him in <img height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPtMVm7kCzX7HLzgBHkyeAHedzZoGk4ELRHU9Mdljn6DqPpMlmkJWgOzF38zD6W1EwOjBX-XKcKhOOcdHkZO6rOqWVwvRiloA_ASJNhqTRXblfohaUZc4XDWemPEQid2o1JQ1ado3HUuk/s320/Jorts.png" width="320" />.<br />
<br />
3. The winner of this contest (and everyone else) <strike>can </strike>should get some hair gel, mix it with blue berry Kool-aid and temporarily dye their hair blue. One added benefit to this; even though you'll most like be hungover as (insert curse word here) no one will notice b/c you'll fit in perfectly with the other blue hairs <img height="200" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/hgl/assets/3346/blue_hair_blog.jpg" width="150" /> that are out to eat Sunday afternoon.<br />
<br />
4. Most importantly...what to drink? Now obviously I will add blue food coloring to my <img height="200" src="http://www.dionlabel.com/tl_files/dion/images/Blog%20Images3/svedka_vodka_new_botle.jpg" width="65" /> therefore everything I drink will be blue. Blue jello shots are a must have and if you can find a JORTS cookie cutter to cut the jell-o, EVEN BETTER.<img src="http://www.myscienceproject.org/blue/blue_jello2.jpg" /> And of course it isn't a party, or a game, if you aren't taking LOTS of shots. Final 4 shot: <img height="200" src="http://bourbonbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/coach-cal.jpg" width="129" />, <img height="200" src="http://www.energyfiend.com/wp-content/caffeine/ale-8-1.jpg" width="61" />, and <img height="200" src="http://s5.thisnext.com/media/230x230/Organic-Frozen-Raspberries_B656315A.jpg" width="200" />. Just put a frozen raspberry in the bottom a a shot glass, mash it up a little, add 1 part makers and 1 part ale8 and throw it back! This also works VERY well as a drink (thanks Ben), the raspberries work double time as flavor and ice. I know it's not a blue drink but Makers and Ale8's are KY drinks so it counts. <br />
<br />
Cheers Everyone and have fun cheering on <img height="240" src="http://www.abadak.com/media/catalog/category/kentucky-wildcats-fan-gear.jpg" width="320" /> be sure to take a shot(s) for <img src="http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/574959/josh_harrelson.jpg" />. <br />

GO CATS!Joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03785436551988712339noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221159373382505243.post-54939326931991808712011-03-30T08:28:00.000-07:002011-03-30T08:37:18.807-07:00A drowned mouse, a twitter snake, & a pistol whipped mother.A Washington Man has filed a lawsuit against the maker of <img height="150" src="http://www.hatsvip.com/images/monster_energy_logo.jpg" width="200" /> because he found a dead mouse in the bottom of his can. Mr Sulzhik says "I put it down and I felt it was still heavy. So I backwashed it and all this debris went into my mouth," <img height="150" src="http://masterxela.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/dirty-water.jpg" width="200" />says the 19 year old. "Then I looked in the can and I saw the tip of the tail and I vomited everywhere." <img height="199" src="http://2pep.com/funny%20pics/super%20funny%20pictures%20of%20animals/hilarious%20funny%20cute%20pictures%20of_vodka_mouse.jpg" width="320" />Ok, so I don't really drink energy drinks, and when I do it's redbull (and vodka). But wouldn't you notice a weird taste/odor/color/weight to the drink?? This guy was thristy!! Monster Energy have refused to believe this story is true, and in lieu of paying this guy millions, they offered to settle with him by giving him a Monster Enegry "Mouse" Pad <img height="200" src="http://76.my/Malaysia/rare-monster-energy-mouse-pad-mats-mpme0018-1012-07-herdain@2259.jpg" width="200" />Haha. I think he should take the offer, having that mouse pad and maybe spraying on a little <img height="200" src="http://www.parfumsdecoeur.com/FileLib/Thumbnails/5576c.main.jpg" width="200" />he'll be the white trashiest guy in town!<br />
<br />
This next story...gave me cold chills. The Bronx Zoo "misplaced" a deadly egyptian cobra. <img height="200" src="http://cache3.asset-cache.net/xc/57207105.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=77BFBA49EF878921F7C3FC3F69D929FD33747DD5F8305F6EC40A03593143F750E57C2279AD1A58BAB01E70F2B3269972" width="133" /> This snake is belived to be the species that cleopatra used to kill herself and when it was used in the Indiana Jones films...it is/was so dangerous that a thick pane of glass had to be placed between it and <img height="186" src="http://www.topnews.in/usa/files/Indiana.gif" width="200" /> at all times. The Zoo closed the reptile house as soon as it was discovered that the snake was gone. Visitors were disappointed and one father complained that his little girl really wanted to see the snakes. Really, then take her out of her stroller and the two of you crawl around the reptile house, I've got $20 that one of you finds the snake <img height="162" src="http://eris.discordians.net/~eletorsk/snake-bites-face.jpg" width="200" />. dumb ass<br />
In lighter news, the snake now has over 10,000 followers on twitter further proving that this country is really stupid.<br />
<br />
And finally, my favorite story of the day. 17 year old Rachel Hachero REALLY wanted her 2004 black Nissan 350Z. So much so that when her mother refused (over the phone) to come to the car lot and co-sign Rachel threatened to kill her.<img src="http://www.dreamstime.com/mad-woman-largethumb5170654.jpg" />Well like any other 17 year old, Rachel accepted defeat and went home...oh wait no she didn't, around 7pm she showed up with a 9mm and pistol whipped her mom in the head. This obviously knocked some sense into her mother, who then rode with <strike>her attacker</strike>, Rachel and co-signed for her new car. REALLY, wtf is wrong with you?? If only all moms were this smart <img height="320" src="http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Pages/Entertainment/images-5/octo-mom-nadya-suleman.jpg" width="299" />. Her mother refused to press charges due to the fact the daughter is one scary ho <img src="http://c0181301.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/NEhkemlm34Uqjq_1_2.jpg" /> and has been accepted to several <strike>stripper academy's </strike>ivy league schools...which no one believes. In closing, it was found that the gun she used to knock the crap out her momma was stolen from a police officer in June 2010. Yeah, she is for sure going to an ivy league school.Joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03785436551988712339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221159373382505243.post-45063125818773803652011-03-24T11:33:00.000-07:002011-03-24T11:33:30.451-07:00HotownOk. so here is my weekly Idol recap. Last week I hit the <strike>Mexican</strike> nail on the head and Karen was sent packing. Adios Amiga. This week was the 1st themed week and they chose Motown. Should be good right....actually overall it kinda was.<br />
<br />
Casey Abrams <img height="200" src="http://ydtalk.com/chatter/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Casey-Abrams.jpg" width="145" />opened the show. He needs to shave that nasty ginger beard, that thing combined with the lights...this guy was sweating like <img height="146" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.bvnewswire.com/media/2010/06/whitney-houston-438.jpg" width="200" /> when he finished singing the hit single "I heard it through the grapevine" by <img height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrf_8GhboPyQyFp6xEpdIWoqJiL9xcP8rCNemBR2dfa26bgKjjYy41GlnsiCgCdnEE-O4sGpnOXhRGXnt5KVWHAhhkHA0gtSK6qeAbstwgjC7MprxmFth_qkh3qZj8f7uOHCnCH1yvc1Os/s200/california+raisins.jpg" width="144" />. Thia finally woke up and moved around a little bit and channeled her inner asian hannah montana. But apparently walking and singing is pretty difficult because she forgot the lyrics twice...<img src="http://loveformakeup.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/GDJ_waving_bye_bye_by_GDJ.gif" />(that's her waving bye b/c she's going home.) <strike>Rasputia </strike>Jacob Lusk <img height="200" src="http://www.erinjackson.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/rasputia.jpg" width="181" /> went next and the judges loved him! I don't see it, he's talented but the way he sings just makes me queasy...Hopez said she was "begging for it". WOW. Lauren went next...she is soo cute and incredibly talented. She's just effortless...but she is sooooooooooo tacky. Looking at her mother,<img _prototypeuid="5" alt="" class="media" galleryimg="no" height="532" id="fullSizedImage" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/wendylady1/Fashion%20Police/Racing/Aintree%202010/Tacky01.jpg" style="height: 532px; width: 355px;" width="355" /> it's easy to see where she gets her "taste". Stefano made Gennifah disappear. She literally slid out of her chair...she was able to wipe the drool off of her face long enough to give him some criticism. He sang "Hello" and did an ok job, except he mouthed "I Love You" after the song was over, into the camera. EWWWWW. What a..... <img src="http://www.corkboard.it/uploads/090219194405802497.jpg" /> (That's a cheese ball). He has a slight chance of being in the bottom 3 but he won't go home. Haley...I just don't get it. She is probably the most talented person vocally in the competition. She can do ANYTHING with her voice, the judges even said so. She's been in the bottom 2 each week??? She did waaaaaay better last night and kept her lipstick off her face so I'm hoping she dodges another bullet. Next was Twatty <img height="160" src="http://wyrk.com/files/2011/03/Scotty-McCreery-031711-250x200.jpg" width="200" /> <img height="124" src="http://cbsknci.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/scotty-mccreery.jpg?w=385&h=240" width="200" /> <img height="472" src="http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Scotty-McCreery-Get-Ready.jpg" width="640" /><br />
I HATE THIS GUY! First, look at his fingernails. Second...he's just awful. Next was the moment I wait 7 days for My PP (that's what she asked that I call her) Pia Toscano killed it.<img src="http://starcasm.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/pia_toscano_sexy.jpg?ggnoads" /> She needs to sing something upbeat before she starts boring people but I still don't have any complaints...and that's the only "negative" thing the judges said to her too. I have no doubt that she will be in the finals!!Paul went next. He is still quirky enough to make him one of my fave guys but he's starting to get lost a little in my opinion, needs to do something crazy. <img height="200" src="http://www.amarjah.com/images/medusa.jpg" width="200" />followed Paul and she of course had a ridiculous dance break in the middle of her song...I'm done with <img src="http://shavarross.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Naima-Adedapo-Sings-Rihanna-Umbrella-150x150.jpg" />. Closing the show was <strike>my little pony <img src="http://images.starpulse.com/news/bloggers/6/blog_images/top-24-james-durbin-peforms.jpg" /></strike>what is with that stupid tail you wear all the time, you look dumb enough w/o it. All in all it was a good show. My wife is jealous that Steven Tyler has full access to Jane Fonda's closet (no way his clothes aren't women's) and it was very apparent to me that Gennifah was definitely in heat (look out Stefano or <img height="198" src="http://www.okmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/wenn_randy.jpg" width="200" />).Bottom 3 are <img alt="Thia Megia" border="0" class="contestantThumb" height="148" onerror="this.src='/media/ui/global/videoDefault_210x158.jpg'" src="http://media.americanidol.com/contestants/season_10/ai10/top_24/thia_megia_210x156.jpg" width="200" /> <img alt="Naima Adedapo" border="0" class="contestantThumb" height="148" onerror="this.src='/media/ui/global/videoDefault_210x158.jpg'" src="http://media.americanidol.com/contestants/season_10/ai10/top_24/naima_adedapo_210x156.jpg" width="200" /> <img alt="Scotty McCreery" border="0" class="contestantThumb" height="148" onerror="this.src='/media/ui/global/videoDefault_210x158.jpg'" src="http://media.americanidol.com/contestants/season_10/ai10/top_24/scotty_mccreery_210x156.jpg" width="200" /> Stefano and Haley may sneak in there but I think the did well enough to be safe. As much as I hate Medusa, I think Thia will be out.Joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03785436551988712339noreply@blogger.com0
