Ashes to Ashes

I have not been able to write for a few days.  Between the Sea World trip, which I still plan to comment on, and the events of last evening, I have simply not had the time. 
I think I have a curse.  I have not had a lot of opportunities for a real vacation in [...]

Weight Loss Update

Everyone needs a vacation.  This weekend my family and I went to Sea World in San Antonio (more on that later).  We made a decision on the way to take a vacation from the diet.  I ate some things that I have not even looked at for a few months.  It was good, but it [...]

Idol Season 7 Finale Results Show

I winced when I looked at the schedule and saw that the show was two hours long.  Idol would use up ten minutes for a time check if it thought it could get away with it.
The first group song was terrible as usual.  The choreography was a mess (including the spastic dancers), and I swear [...]

American Idol Season 7 Finale

Finally, we have gotten down to the Davids, as if it could have been any other way.  The Michael Buffer intro was great.  Perhaps they could replace Ryan.  The question of the night was, “Can the musical talent of David Cook outdo the charm and vocal ability of David Archuleta?”  The judges obviously thought not.
I [...]

I Don’t Get It

It may be that I was born into a Christian home where I was taught to have some sort of positive life outlook (that, of course, was before I planted and nurtured my little garden of cynicism), but I just do not get the whole culture of revenge without the thought of right or wrong [...]

Weight Loss Update

The 100 Pound mark continues to elude me.  This week I lost 4 pounds.  I am now at 261, and have lost 98 pounds in the last 18 weeks.  I am 70% of the way to my reevaluation goal of 220 lbs, and only have 41 pounds to go before I reach it.  It is [...]

We Should Start Calling This Guy ‘Chicken Little’

First of all, someone should let Al Gore know that, unfortunately, he is winning.  He continues to spout his mantra regarding Global Warming and continues to escalate the rhetoric even though he has much of the scientific community, many politicians from both sides, and almost all of the media on his side.  With such a [...]

Top 100 Creepy People #51-60

Creepy Person #60- John Waters
I had a friend suggest him for the list so I looked him up on Google images.  Oh, yeah.  That guy is creepy.  He is a director, so I looked up his work.  It’s pretty a pretty creepy list of films and actors also.
 
Creepy Person #59- Vincent Price
Honestly, he probably deserved [...]

American Idol Results Show, May 14

Once again, the group song was a train wreck, but that has just been the norm this season.  Can’t they pick a song a little more relevant than, “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now?”  At least the Ford commercial this week was a song that was recorded in the past 20 years.
When Fantasia came out, my [...]

American Idol Top 3, May 13

Once again this year as we get down to the top 3, they are performing three songs: one picked by the judges, one picked by the contestants and one picked by the producers.  I remember last year thinking that the producers in general picked a bad group of songs.  I remember thinking that they picked [...]
