Ok, so there is this HILARIOUS 12 days of Christmas song, that I heard a couple years ago.. I've heard MANY varieties (that looks weird) of this song, but this one that I heard just CRACKED me up. Now, I have looked for this song Artist and even MP3 for going on THREE years now. I have posted a couple places to see if anyone knows who it is (no, it's not Cheech & Chong but it sure would fit!) Does ANYONE have any idea!? Please!?!?

These are the first like 6 days of the lyrics.. HA HA HA

It's Raining..

First rain in a while... kinda nice.. I *think* HA HA. Today would have been a great day to play hooky and light a fire, and hang out at home with the kid and do nothing... Ah, or maybe decorate for Christmas, since I STILL haven't done it! I suck.. LOL Did some shopping one night because the kid needed more weather appropriate clothes... then visited a girlfriend another night... then went and had dinner with my grandfather... oy. I REALLY need to get off my butt and do this.. No homework this weekend, so it really is a good time to do it.
Anyway, I like the sound of the rain.. ok, sometimes. When it's really loud and I can't sleep, it sucks. Thunder is pretty cool.. altho it scares the crap out of me. Lightning, I love it. I kinda have my fears a little reversed there.. o well. I once went to Kansas somewhere, and rented a convertible. Yea, I was cool for like an hour once. Anyway, sound asleep in my hotel room and all of a sudden, I kid you not, it sounded like someone took a huge piece of sheet metal and just started shaking the shit out of it right next to my head. Out of nowhere. I flew out of bed so fast, and then had to run outside to put the top up on the car. I have NEVER seen that much rain so hard and so fast in my entire life. Well, the next morning, it was bone dry outside, and the car was dry too. Go figure.
Playing in the rain is fun. Especially when me and the kid are already wet, and then go find a bunch of puddles to jump in. It's better when it's not super cold outside, but still a LOT of fun. We had a bunch of people staring at us in the parking lot when we were chasing each other and trying to get each other more wet than we were, altho I'm not sure that was possible. An old man was just smiling. Days that like are priceless. I just wish there were more of them.

Life..

People are shitbirds. Plain and simple. Actually some can be complete assholes. Like the people that break into your cars. That one sucks. Purses stolen, wallets, broken windows to replace. Had that one happen about 5 times now over the years. Then, once that happens, you get Identity theft. Of course, that's if you are retarded like me and have your social security card in there when it gets ripped off. Ya, learned my lesson there. Some guy decided to open charge cards, and cell phones all under my name. THAT one really sucked. Then there's the people that break into your homes. Getting a little too close there bud. Talk about violated. And then there are the assholes that break into your computers. Those are the shitbirds that I'd love to kick the crap out of. THAT is like waaay up there in feeling violated. What do you do? You think you have everything on your computers and that it's "safe". Your bank information, passwords, all kinds of personal information. Nope. Some jerkoff out there can and will get into your stuff. Be it your server, or your laptop, or personal pc, just wait. It's gotta be one of the WORST feelings to happen.. Let's not even get started at how many people are affected by it. O well, people like that suck, and apparently have nothing better to do than to screw with other peoples lives. Unfortunately, there is nothing that I can directly do here, but someday all these people will get their own. They will wonder what they did to deserve whatever is going on at that time, and think "What did I do?" Guess what Sweetie... Karma is a bitch.

Holidays are comin....

Sorry, but that just SUCKS. I mean, the day after Halloween, they start with the Christmas music. I remember (not too long ago I thought) when Christmas music didn't start until the day after Thanksgiving... what happened?!?! In a couple years, they'll start the "CHRISTMAS SEASON" on July 5th. Blech.
Well, after spending MANY years with a multitude of family and them slowly dying or moving away, Christmas became rather Blah. Then came the kid. And of course, as she gets older, Christmas is becoming a little more fun I guess. Just seeing her light up putting up decorations is just great. I decided when the kid was born that I wasn't going to do the whole red/green Christmas colors anymore.. Too many memories from Me being a kid.. I like Blue. So I changed Christmas at my house to Blue, White and Silver. (Not for any religions reasons, I just like it). And so does she. So tonight, I think after school me and the kid are going to start the Christmas festivities and begin decorating. That really sets it off for me.. Seeing her get so excited about it all. Kinda nice for me too tho, I let her decorate how ever she wants. So she is rather proud of herself for a great job, and I get to see all her hard work and that big huge smile on her face...
So, the holidays are coming, and ok, I'm getting a little better with it all.. I'll let ya know how the decorating goes...

Thanksgiving..

It's a day early, but I am going out of town and I just wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving. We all have something (hopefully more than that) to be thankful for.. I've said it before. Tell the people in your life you love them, care about them. Trust me, I don't know a single person who DOESN'T like to hear it. ;)

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Spontaneous..

So I got up the other day, got out of bed and went Skydiving. I wanted to preface that with how long I have wanted to do go blah blah... but nah. Let's just get to it. Ok, I have wanted to jump out of a perfectly good airplane for about 13 years. Then I had my kid, and figured it wasn't the "safest" thing to do be doing, so I waited. And waited. And then I decided when I woke up, "I am going skydiving today". Plain and simple. No special occasion, just a good day to fall from the sky. :D

So I made it down there, it was about 80 degrees, and surprisingly I wasn't afraid. I didn't have any hesitation. I think I had mentally prepared myself for a long time. I was glad I didn't have to wear that goofy skydiving jumpsuit thingy... I guess they wear that when It's cold, so I was glad I could jump in just jeans and a tshirt.. :D I could have taken the couple hours and jumped solo for the first time.. but for some reason, I decided to jump "tandem" (attached to the instructor). Kinda glad I did because I was in so much AWE that I wouldn't have remembered to pull the chute in time had I been alone.. LOL
Anyway, standing at the edge of the door of the plane, looking down, I expected to feel "something".. nothing. Just a spectacular view. The instructor asked how I wanted to exit the plane. I said, "flips, cartwheels, whatever works... something "FUN" And, that is what we did. The plane was turning to the right when we jumped so it was flips and cartwheels galore. And it was FUN. We jumped from 12,000 feet, and the free fall was for 6,000 feet. That took about 60 seconds. Apparently when you are jumping tandem, you fall FASTER to the ground that if alone (nice huh?). So they throw up a small chute to slow down from 160MPH to about 120MPH which is more standard for a single jumper. I HIGHLY doubt I could tell the difference. ;)
It was really cool because I got to pull the ripcord, and I got to handle the controls to turn, slow down and haul ass back to the ground. THAT was wicked. I thought that going into a pretty fast spin would upset my belly some, but it didn't.
The landing couldn't have been better... landed on.. my Ass. :D supposed to do that I guess. I was really glad I have that extra padding!! But Holy Shit, that was quite the RUSH. Nothing can compare to that.. I mean, someone asked me about a roller coaster that could compare. Well, you're on a track for a bout 14 seconds, and then it's over. Skydiving, you are falling from the sky between 120 and 160MPH no track, no safety net... Personally, I can't find the comparison.
Seems I had sea legs for a good 45 minutes after jumping. Just a little wobbly. I picked a couple songs to put on my video... The beginning of the video is about getting ready and kind of training, and partly IN the airplane.. That track is "Live like you were dyin" by Tim McGraw. Made a statement to me, so it worked. Then jumping and falling, the only appropriate song I liked was "Free Fallin'" by Tom Petty. That gave me goosebumps watching it after the fact.
In all honesty.. I used to think, "If I can skydive, and everything go according to plan, then I can do Anything"... I couldn't be more wrong. I think I was hoping that it would be profound enough to take away a lot of the hurt and disappointment I have felt in my life... I was hoping to feel "different" somehow. Don't ask why, I don't know... Just an expectation I supposed I had. I guess I am a little disappointed that I don't. I did come to find out it's not skydiving or an "event" that is going to change any of that stuff.. it's just me. It really didn't change me, and I know that I can't "do anything".. shit, I can barely DEAL with anything. But, it was absolutely 100% definitely worth it. So much so I am going again... :)

It's all ok..

I have been doing a lot of thinking, and I am ok. Yea, I get pissed and hurt and all that crap, but it's human nature.. You have choices.. Accept shit, Deal with shit, or drop shit and just MOVE ON already. So, I have had time to think about this crap, and I am at the point now where I really DON'T care. :D I am GOOD. Things are still crappy financially, and it's difficult to be a single mom, but I am OK. Would I be happier if I had a lot of money? Sure, who wouldn't? Am I greedy about it? Nope.. Would I change things that I screwed up? Of course.. but not a lot of them. You are the person you are because of experiences. You learn from them (well, you are supposed to.. ). You grow. Regret isn't a good thing. Learn from mistakes, even OTHER peoples mistakes. I am really trying to. I have said it before, I want to be a good person. I don't want to judge others. I want people to see me, and think positively about me. I want my kid to think that I am the best person in the world. Ok, that might be a stretch, but so far so good.. she does think that I rock. Maybe I should start trying to believe that too.

To the world you may be just one person,
who's name never finds its fame,
The world may never discover your worth
for some it's just a game.

To the world you may only be a number,
trying to feed you a lie,
The world may never care what makes
you cry.

At times the world may lay on your
shoulder, when life gets you down,
You want to smile and keep on
giving your all, but you frown.

To the world you may be one person
who will never rise to fame,
But to me you mean the world and
your smile still drives me insane.

Writers Block..

So, I have writers block.. I have a lot shit going on that I am not real happy with.. It really has me bummed out. I hate getting angry. And, yesterday I was SO angry I had no way to release it, so I literally just Cried. Tears were falling but, it's like I wasn't crying.. not like sobbing or anything like that.. It was kind of weird. That much extreme anger is scary. And of course pile on top of that hatred. Makes for a pretty shitty day. Trying to find some kind of support system from people is difficult. Especially when it's everyone else that is just pissing you off.
I fully intend to just hang out with my kid, playing video games all weekend... THAT is definitely going to make me feel much better.. She's all I need in the entire world right now...

Why do I bother..

One would think it's good to give the benefit of the doubt.. but when that doubt is proven time and time again... it's hard to do so. When someone shits on me specifically, I think to myself, ok, maybe tomorrow, they will GET A CLUE and either a) do something about it or b) at least make some cheesy attempt at an apology or ANYTHING at all. Ok, maybe that is what I would do if I hurt someone or pissed them off. Why do I ALWAYS expect people are going to do what I would do personally?
Is that wrong? Yes, I believe so, since it NEVER ever ever ever happens. So what do I do here? I mean, I could turn into the rest of them (and not like myself any more) and walk their walk... OR, I can continue getting disappointed, and let down and shit on by staying the same person I AM. I thought I got over this last night.. Apparently not because I am just as mad now as I was then. And the more I think about it.. I can't really be mad at anyone here except myself. I ALLOW these things to happen. Do I not have the power to control whether or not I will allow people to take advantage or whatever the situation is? Sure I do.. question is.. how do I exercise it now?

Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people.

People in general..

Ok, so I couldn't wait til tomorrow.. Had to get it out now..
I know for most people, human nature is to help others.. Yes, I said MOST people. I am the type of person that will give you the shirt off my back. And... with no problems.. I rarely, if ever, expect anything in return. Sometimes, it would be nice if ever I needed help from someone, it would be returned, but hey.. not always the case. I don't expect it from everyone, but it would be so great for ONE person, just one, to come to my rescue.. ever. So like I said, I am always trying to help someone.. whether family or friends.. even friends of friends I may not even know very well.
Here is my dilemma. How many times does it take to help someone that keeps on shitting on you that you say enough is enough? How many times do you touch the flame before you finally figure out that it's HOT? How many times can you kick a dog before it turns on you and bites you? For me, it's obviously TOO MANY. I'm tired. I am really tired of going out of my way for what? Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
Now, that's not to say that I won't forget how hot that flame is and go back again.. Been there, Done that. But come on.. it would be so nice for someone to ask me "Hey, can I help YOU with that? (or anything for that matter).. " Don't get me wrong.. I'm not feeling sorry for myself.. or anything like that.. Because I really don't feel sorry for myself. Sometimes, it just SUCKS is all... Does this make me selfish now? I mean, it is a rare day that I am completely selfish and just do for me, but aren't we supposed to do that on occasion?? I'm just venting I guess about how some people just aren't the "giving" type. And then there are those people like me. Hopefully there are some left.

PISSED..

Ok, So I am BEYOND pissed at damn near everyone in my life right now... NO.. Not everyone.. but after I cool down, and regain some idea of composure so as not to say things I probably shouldn't, I shall enlighten you all tomorrow with the wonderful workings of my "GREAT" family and friends... Ya.. Beer flew outta my nose too..

Generic..

Today is rather boring already... I have so many things and thoughts floating in my head. Positive and negative.. I enjoy reading quotes... even if I don't know who wrote it.. "You don't die from a broken heart.. you only wish you did." How true is that? Another one of my favorites "Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never knew". That is pretty profound to me. So simple, yet, powerful. Of course there are the others, that make you laugh, and ponder.. "Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?" Love that one...
Anyway.. That's how I usually start my day.. reading some quotes in a feeble attempt at motivating myself to push thru another one. Today is going to be a tough one... no real reason why.. Don't you get those days too? You know... you'd rather be at home, maybe curled up on the couch catching up on TiVo, fire in the fireplace, hot chocolate and just vege out. No worries, no concerns.. Sounds like a perfect day.. Too bad this whole "WORK" thing keeps getting in the way... I need to win the lottery.. and quit working and take off.. I wish I could teach my kid the way of the world while actually being IN it. Not behind a desk everyday. I wish I could give her everything she desired.. Wishful thinking of course... But if you don't have wishes...

I don't wish to be everything to everyone, but I would like to be something to someone.

My Baby..

So I decided that for the "picture"... i'll just change it up as my mood changes... I like todays Ha Ha
Anyway, so Yesterday was Halloween... Went to a friends to help move furniture around in the new house and take the kid trick or treating. Was a good night.. kinda chilly, bunch of friends, kids, beer and a firepit. (No not kids and beer, kids got candy.. LOL) It was a fun time all around. So my kid went out twice and got a grip of candy. Like she really needs that. So we came back to the house, and somehow ran out of candy to hand out. So my kid, God love her, gave up all her candy to give out to the trick or treaters. And, it was her idea. I was so proud. She is just great. :D
She did go back out with some friends, and got a little more candy that she got to keep.. so, I just HAD to share that, because she is soo awesome. My Baby Girl...
