Answer to Joe Cool
After reading Joe Cool's blog I was inspired to check on the music for some important events in my life.
The time that my Parents conceived me, the song that they were swooning to was "Some Enchanted Evening" By Perry Como.
At the time of my Birth the song of the day was "Mona Lisa" by Sam Cook.
At the time of my Sweet Sixteen it was "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones and "Hanky Panky by Tommie James and the Shondells.
At the time I conceived my first child it was "I'm a Believer" by the Monkees
When I Graduated from High School, The song of the day was "Mrs. Robinson" by Simon and Garfunkel
Upon turning 21 the song was "Indian Reservation" by the Raiders
With the coming of my Divorce it was "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles
That was fun Jose! Thanks

Older Women
As I grow in age, I value women over 50 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 50 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think.
If a woman over 50 doesn't want to watch the game, or the race she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting.
Women over 50 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it.
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 50.
Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 50 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.
Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk, if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.
Yes, we praise women over 50 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 50, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.
For all those men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?', here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!

OMG I laughed myself silly

Words to live by
Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders & says...
'Oh shit....she's awake!!
'Oh shit....she's awake!!
Oh so True
After being interviewed by the school administration, the teaching prospect said,
'Let me see if I've got this right: You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.
You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually- transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self-esteem and personal pride.
You want me to teach them patriotism, good citizenship, sportsmanship, fair play, how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.
You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of anti-social behavior, and make sure that they all pass the state exams.
You want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps and communicate regularly with their parents by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card.
You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps.You want me to do all this, and then you tell me...I CAN'T PRAY???!!!!
Oh but this is so True

Just a little funny
How Adam Got Eve -- Priceless!!!!
Adam was hanging around the garden of Eden feeling very lonely.So, God asked him, 'What's wrong with you?' Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to. God said that He was going to make Adam a companion And that it would be a woman. He said, 'This pretty lady will gather food for you, she will cook for you, And when you discover clothing, she will wash it for you. She will always agree with every decision you make and she will not nag you, And will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will praise you! She will bear your children. And never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. 'She will NEVER have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it.' Adam asked God, 'What will a woman like this cost?' God replied, 'An arm and a leg.' Then Adam asked, 'What can I get for a rib?'
Of course the rest is history............!!!!

Oh Crap
Another day at work,,,booo!
I would much rather be taking a trip to the beautiful Island of Catalina. Remember the song "26 miles across the sea"? What a beautiful Island. I love the fact that only golf carts are used as transportation and only one per household. The air is so clean there and the weather is usually just perfect. Ahh, but alas I will be at work and not at Catalina, well maybe in my mind.

I was emailed this, thought you might enjoy it
Black and White (Under age 40? You won't understand.) You could hardly see for all the snow, Spread the rabbit ears as far as they go. Pull a chair up to the TV set, 'Good Night, David. Good Night, Chet.'
My Mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread Mayo on the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn't seem to get food poisoning. My Mom used to defrost hamburger on the counter AND I used to eat it raw sometimes, too. Our school sandwiches were wrapped in wax paper in a brown paper bag, not in icepack coolers, but I can't remember getting e. Coli. Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake instead of a pristine pool (talk about boring), no beach closures then. The term cell phone would have conjured up a phone in a jail cell, and a pager was the school PA system. We all took gym, not PE.. And risked permanent injury with a pair of high top Ked's (only worn In gym) instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in light reflectors. I can't recall any injuries but they must have happened because they tell us how much safer we are now. Flunking gym was not an option... Even for stupid kids! I guess PE must be much harder than gym.Speaking of school, we all said prayers and sang the national anthem, and staying in detention after school caught all sorts of negative attention. We must have had horribly damaged psyches. What an archaic health system we had then. Remember school nurses? Ours wore a hat and everything. I thought that I was supposed to accomplish something before I was allowed to be proud of myself. I just can't recall how bored we were without computers, Play Station, Nintendo, X-box or 270 digital TV cable stations.
Oh yeah... And where was the Benadryl and sterilization kit when I got that bee sting? I could have been killed! We played 'king of the hill' on piles of gravel left on vacant construction sites, and when we got hurt, Mom pulled out the 48-cent bottle of Mercurochrome (kids liked it better because it didn't sting like iodine did) and then we got our butt spanked. Now it's a trip to the emergency room, followed by a 10-day dose of a $49 bottle of antibiotics, and then Mom calls the attorney to sue the contractor for leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat. We didn't act up at the neighbor's house either because if we did, we got our butt spanked there and then we got our butt spanked again when we got home.I recall Donny Reynolds from next door coming over and doing his tricks on the front stoop, just before he fell off. Little did his Mom know that she could have owned our house. Instead, she picked him up and swatted him for being such a goof. It was a neighborhood run amok. To top it off, not a single person I knew had ever been told that they were from a dysfunctional family. How could we possibly have known that? We needed to get into group therapy and anger management classes? We were obviously so duped by so many societal ills, that we didn't even notice that the entire country wasn't taking Prozac! How did we ever survive? LOVE TO ALL OF US WHO SHARED THIS ERA, AND TO ALL WHO DIDN'T- SORRY FOR WHAT YOU MISSED. I WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING

Might go the other way
Some of the words that came out of the mouth of Obama's Reverend
A quote from Obama's Reverend Wright (Please remember that these are not my words)
"It just came to me within the past few weeks, y'all, why so many folks are hating on Barack Obama. He doesn't fit the model. He ain't white, he ain't rich, and he ain't privileged. Hillary fits the mold. Europeans fit the mold, Giuliani fits the mold. Rich white men fit the mold. Hillary never had a cab whiz past her and not pick her up because her skin was the wrong colour. Hillary never had to worry about being pulled over in her car as a black man driving in the wrong… I am sick of Negroes who just do not get it. Hillary was not a black boy raised in a single parent home, Barack was. Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people. Hillary can never know that. Hillary ain't never been called a nigger. Hillary has never had her people defined as non-persons."
• Bill Clinton "did the same thing to us that he did to Monica Lewinsky."
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23634881/
Obama says he didn't agree the with things that his Pastor said, However he sat there week after week listening to him. I find it hard to believe that he would disagree with with his Pastor and sit there every Sunday , year after year yet still remain in the church.
So after this and other research, if Obama gets the nomination, I for one will go Republican
So, concerning my "Who am I voting for Post,,,there ya go

My take on AI this season
So I haven't blogged much the last few weeks, well I have been sick. I had Bronchial Pneumonia,,what a pain in the butt it has been. I haven't been that sick in a very long time. Well on the road to good health now.
Nothing much going on right now, just my same old boring life.
Here is my take on American Idol
Best Singers
in order of quality
Brooke.... Beautiful voice, a little limited on song selections
David A.... A very nice voice just needs breathing lessons
Carly.... Beautiful voice, just nothing unusual about her voice
Micheal.... A very nice voice, nice to look at, again nothing unusual
Jason.... Beautiful voice, occasionally hits flat notes, beautiful eyes
David C.... A nice strong voice, funny looking, nothing that stands out
Syesha.... Beautiful girl, great voice, bad song choices, nothing stands out
Kristy.... Very nice voice when used, hate the country yodel
Ramiele.... Nice voice, just doesn't use it, plays it safe, not fond of life style
Chikezie.... Nice voice when applied, don't like the screaming or the jumping around
Amanda.... Throat singer, vocals are terrible sounds of too much alcohol and cigarettes, looks bad
So there you have my take on AI this season.
