To think people still talk about Van Halen and who was the best lead singer. For years the debate has raged on over who could lead Van Halen! Wars were started over who was the best. Friends cast one another aside due to the division of camps. Various news articles were written over which singer made the band better. Marriages were ruined (ok, well maybe not) but in Rock-n-Roll this was a major upset in the circles of Rolling Stone Magazine. Fights broke out due to the arguments of who to choose.

Who was the best? Sammy Hagar or David Lee Roth? Both have amazing pipes and could scream on key perfectly pitched. Both blondes with fantastic hair. Both were Mr. Congeniality with the crowds and could put on a great show. David was an amazing showman and wowed the crowds with his air and on the ground splits. But Sammy had some cool laid back moves with swagger, could actually write a decent song and played the guitar very well.

Hmmmmmmmmm? Your pros and cons on the Hagar / Lee Roth debate

Drinkin', Shootin', Poopin' all in a night's work for suspect.
Indian River County, Florida.

It all started so innocently. Michael Johnston was probably looking forward to a quiet evening of drinking and shooting — specifically, with some Colt 45s (shout out to Billy Dee Williams!), a .40-caliber Glock pistol and a .45-caliber black-powder handgun — when cops, responding to reports of gleefully fired shots, interrupted the festivities. During his interview with the police, Johnston admitted firing his weapons and then promptly pooped his pants mid conversation. For the final indignity, he was transported to the Indian River County jail, where he was booked on misdemeanor charges, including criminal mischief and using a firearm while under the influence of alcohol.

Fine for Criminal Mischief & Alcohol Charge = $7,000.
Getting Bailed out of Jail = $5,000.
Being teased by your shootin buddies = Priceless!!!

Yesterday I attended an Awards Ceremony Rehearsal. Pop back a few days and several email instructions on what to do at the rehearsal. Do you think that people followed the simple instructions on 3 simple procedures? hahahaahahahaha.......no!
1. Please arrive @ 1430
2. Get your assigned seating
3. Sit down before 1500
Simple? Not for the ignorant or the lazy. People were just showing up and sitting down. This meant the awards would not be handed to the right person. The list is made up in order or awards and how many receiving that award. Soooooooooooo what would have been a simple rehearsal turned into mayhem due to the lame brains who just don't care. But then again, what can you do with civilians who don't see protocol as important. Life goes on and I just sat there wondering if they follow instructions on how to boil water.

I was sitting next to Ms. Germy McGermison. She coughed and hacked for about 30 or so minutes. My hint of leaning so far away from her that I possibly could, wasn't catching on. I turned to her with my mouth covered and made mention that maybe she should leave because her coughing was interrupting the speaker. Her response was that they are probably used to interruptions. lol.....really? So I looked away, giggled, gained my innate wit about me, turned back to her and said "Okay, if you don't want to leave for the speaker, then think about all of the germs you are spewing on the back of that mans neck" The guy snickered. She got up and left. Do you think it was something that I said?

It was truly inconsiderate of her in more ways than one.

Guitar, you can do this. Hang in there! You are not alone in the urges. Remember, skin smells so much sweeter when you don't have the smoke screen covering it all up.

Hugs Ya!

You know those movies that show how a man and a woman get into an accident and then POW BAM BOOM! Sparks fly, rockets go off and it is looooooooove? Or the other movies in which they run into one another and make one of them spill their food or groceries, then all of a sudden they look into each others eyes, birds sing, they can't speak or music plays in the back ground and then they are whisked away to romance?

I walked home from work and stopped by the grocery store. I had one of those Hallmark moments. Only it didn't go exactly like the the movies. I reached up to get some bread, stepped backwards and bumped into a man. He says "Hey!" As I was bumping into him. I turned around to apologize and got it half way out "I'm so sorr" When he said "God lady! Are you drunk? Watch where the fuck you step!" Man did I laugh...lol.

Now that is what I call a Hallmark Movie of the Week interlude.
I wonder how many other women he flirts with so eloquently?

My truck is sick...*cough cough* Poor little truck had to be put in the shop in order for the truck doctor to do an examination.

There I was...wondering who to call to come and pick me up? I mean, everyone was already at the installation. Do I call someone out of work to get me? But why should I bother them? This is my responsibility. I have 2 good legs. I sucked it up, didn't call anyone and walked to work. So off I went, over the hill and through the woods......(no, not to grandmothers house)...lol. Yes, I was late, but oh well. Walking to work humbles you and puts your mind back into perspective. Did I want to walk to work? No. But I had too.

One of the few downfalls of being single....no back up driver or hero to come to the rescue.....lol.
I made it into work and am now patiently waiting for the news on my truck.

It saddens me to do this, but I have to cancel this weeks blog challenge. I have had a relapse with the ear infection and do not feel well. But the fun and the torture will continue next week!
So rest up everyone! With what I have planned, you will need it....lol
Here is a hint: lol....Fooled you! Me give a hint? Since when do I give hints? *evil snicker*

Wouldn't you just love to be a journalist and create your own funny headline?

I woke up to the peaceful moaning sound of the jetty fog horn. It is a very peaceful and lonely sound and at times it can be romantic. Snuggled up under my down comforter I didn't reach for my book, I just pulled the comforter up to my chin, kept my eyes closed and just remained peaceful. The breeze was rustling through the eucalyptus tree outside of my window and the sun was warming up my face.

I love peace and quiet first thing in the morning. When my sons were born, they were raised and groomed to be peaceful in the morning as we ate our breakfast. That was my one rule in the morning....low tones and smiles. After that, BAM!! It was their turn to go for it. From there the peaceful sounds were...kids frantically looking for lost shoes, missing homework, trying to finish the homework they didn't complete, fights over who got the biggest piece of cinnamon bread, kids throwing fits because the grape jelly is all gone, boys yelling because one is staring at the other too long, the oatmeal is not oatmealie enough....lol.

As soon as the funny memories of my sons arguing over who got the biggest piece of cinnamon bread eased out of my thoughts.....the scent of bacon was slipping through the window. The scent of bacon is invigorating!

Wakie Wakie!!!

I sat on the edge of the jetty and became hypnotized by the swaying of the sea kelp. As heavy and as deadly as it can be, it appears to move like feathers in the water as the tide dances with it. The beauty of it is truly mesmerizing under the glare of the sun. Why on earth did I not take pictures of the seals swimming underneath it all, is beyond me. I just sat there deep in thought and just enjoyed the vision and lost thought of who and what was going on around me.

When I swim in the ocean, many times I have been caught up in kelp or seaweed. The touch of it is slimy, feathery, silky and tough. Like I said, as beautiful as it looks, it is also deadly. Swimmers and divers can become entangled and at times have lost their lives. It isn't easy to break away from it once you get inside of it. All you can do is just hang out in it and let the tide of the ocean and the natural flow of the kelp or seaweed do it's thing. As long as you don't panic, you are fine.



After my walk, I stopped by the clinic. It appears my ear infection is back and so is my fever. Freaking fracking son of a biscuit! I still enjoyed the walk. Yes, I am stubborn.
