ooh, it's kinda crazy

oh my sweet sweet soul decision...i've been thinking of you lately. have you been thinking of me? mainly due to a sudden ipod resurgence!!

some may call you a mere one hit wonder pop sensation...but not in my eyes. in my eyes you actually have merit. you've come back from your early days of bubble gum pop, with an edgier style of music and new shaggier hair cuts!

when you came to halifax, i was the drunk groopie halfway back singing along to your every word. and if any of you want to check out the 'hypnotize' video, it was shot at the very concert yours truly attended. so take a close look and you may spot lil' ol' me jivin' like mad to my sweet SD!!

what is it about a guy in a band who can play guitar, that is so sexy? and if he can sing too? now that's the whole package. i've always had a thinkg for guys in bands...although i've never had one.

some people find the whole dj thing attractive...but i must say i'm a little old fashioned when it comes to music men. a guy who can use his hands has always been up my alley.

or atleast that's where i dream of them being...

ahem...so i leave you with the lyrics from one of my all-time favourite sd songs:


Ooh i's kind of crazy
I've been thinking baby
gotta get you out of my mind
first, you say you want me, now
your memories haunt me
why don't you just give me a sign

I thought I had someone that
I could fall in love with
someone who would treat me right, yeah
so I tried to be so kind
I thought for sure I'd made you mine
but something's weighin' up on my mind

Why don't you take my hand
and help me understand
'cause I can't figure out what you're thinking about
why don't you let me know
I don't wanna be alone
goin' out of my mind
waiting for the day you say you'll be mine

(If you want my love)
Why don't you show me then
(Help me heal the pain in my eyes)
I know you want me now
(If you want my love)
Why don't you tell me, cause
I've had enough of plastic people wastin' my time

ahhh, that's the stuff.

highschool stereotype quiz results...isn't that just typical.


ok, stop laughing.

boys, boys boys

this came yesterday...it was deposited on my desk at work from "your secret admirer". no joke! personally i think it was a joke, cause if it really was from a secret admirer (and not one of my friends making fun of me) why not just come out with it?!? you know what i mean? so instead of a vase, i put it in an old empty vodka bottle...appropriate isn't it?

i challenge you "secret admirer"; come forth with your stalker-like self!! just kidding...i'm pretty sure it was just somebody from my work messing with my emotions. but it's pretty nontheless!!

i only ever received flowers once before; a dozen roses (gag) on valentines day (double gag)...accompanied by a valentine in the coast...the latter was actually sweet.

in other news; ever notice how boys can be completely transparent sometimes...that is, until you date them, then they're a complete and utter mystery!! well let me tell you that when you break-up...it doesn't get any clearer!

there is residualness between him and i...feelings that are still hurt, hearts that still need mending. when we speak we fight, lashing out at eachother...we're still angry...or maybe it's just me. underneath it all, all i want is to be good again.

l.o.v.e

there's that word again. of course we still love eachother...at least i hope so...he's been my best friend for so long, aswell as a lover, and a companion. and now what? everything's still so blurry...things left unsaid, or maybe we've said too much...

i want to move on together...if that makes any sense. but we have to stop this feuding. time is helping, i can tell...for both of us. and i think neither wants to let go...cause it's not about letting go, it's about progressing...just in a different form. but how do you get to that different form?

i think two people dealing with these issues need to speak face to face...the phone never helps anything. we shouldn't be so afraid of eachother. it's just us...and i miss us...and by us, i mean 'you and i'...

my first date after...

venturing out into the unknown is always a little bit scary...especially when that land of the unknown is the 'dating world'. it's a scary world out there boys and girls...but it's also a somewhat exciting one!

leaving all thing's B (and B related) behind, i decided to explore the world of A. yes, i'm naming the puppy boys and girls. Adam; my "halloween cowboy".

i'll spare you the details, well most of them...perhaps because i'm a little unsure as to the direction that this will take. but maybe that's half the fun; not knowing. i am out of practice a tad, remember?!?

i've always enjoyed meeting new people, and when drinks are involved it gets all the more interesting. i was immediately swept up in his sweetness. i think a part of me would have believed anything. but he had enough to him to back it up. i can see it being dangerous allowing yourself to fall a little too quickly after a 'you know what'...but i've never played games, and i ain't about to start! the evening was well spent, perhaps a tad too soon to indulge myself so quickly...but at least the ball has begun to move. all i sought was a little bit of fun...and it was fun that i got!!

well my lil'halloween cowboy, shall we meet again?

i'd like to think so...

k, enough with the witty t's.

promise.

mom's the best, ain't she?

boyfriend

someone once said that when one door closes, another one opens. and so it has...

it's been a tough few weeks, mostly due to inner dealings of trying to figure out exactly where all this fits, and exactly when it was that you stopped thinking about yourself...

but your eyes are dry, your head is up, your hair is black, and your lips are still hot from saturday...

everyone around you have had different opinions on the topic, providing you with many different perspectives. and while all have been different, they've all drawn one conclusion; you come first.

letting someone go who you envisioned in your life down the road is never easy, but in the big picture it's best. i feel as though i've been talking about this to anyone who'll listen, but it's helped me realize that it was time to move on. why is it so hard to see sometimes? l.o.v.e blurs things that's why. and it's easy to supplemate yourself and the way you have always thought was best when the L word is involved.

time can change everything. for better or for worse. but the walls will be rebuilt, and his face will fade.

new everything. new outlook, new experiences, new boyS, new smile on your face.

pictures to be changed, toothbrushes to throw out, towels to clean, memories to keep.

you don't have to be afraid of losing him, cause you can never really lose a best friend. of course you still love him, and care for him and think about him, after all you've been through a lot together. don't fight those feelings.

and never be afraid of being alone...not when you know your friends are there to keep you happy!

tales from the crypt

anyone else a fan of the old tales from the crypt show?? back in the day (approximately circa 1989 is when the first episode debuted) 'tales' was quite the fright-fest!!

hosted by the infamous 'cryptkeeper', it was an hbo show (obviously) which told a few scary stories over a half hour period. originally starting out as a comic book of the macabre, it evolved to the small screen (and eventually to the big screen) and held quite a few celebrity guests. whoopi goldberg made an appearance, tom hanks, kyle mclachlan from sex and the city, among many others!

it was a very tongue-in-cheek show, never taking itself too seriously, but being scary enough to send a chill of excitement up any horror fan's spine!! it was deliciously creepy, i guess you could say, with the cryptkeepers death pun's and eerie story lines.

it lasted for (correct me if i'm wrong) 4 seasons, each episode delightfully entertaining. it used to be on every night of the week at like midnight on global, and i'm pretty sure i've seen every episode!!

it's big screen attempts weren't the best; demon knight, bordello of blood among others. they were a little cheesy, but all in good fun!

that was the thing about 'tales', it was always good for a scare, or at the very least a laugh!!

i urge you to check out old episodes.


you're in for a treat!!

halloween campus murder

i thought a scary story would be in order for today's entry, being that it's exactly 5 days till halloween. this is one tale that always brings a chill down my spine this time of year, check it out:

As this urban legend unfolds, a prominent psychic on a TV talk show predicts that a mass murder on a college campus will take place on Halloween. While this story isn't true, when it emerges every few years -- it sends many college students flocking home for Halloween.

The original psychic in this story was Jeanne Dixon. Now the legend usually involves a "well-known" or "famous psychic." The talk show I've heard it pertaining to most was the one hosted by Geraldo Rivera. Other talk show hosts include Oprah, David Letterman, Johnny Carson, Montel Williams, and Phil Donohue (in the legend's older days.) When the legend revives itself, it refers to modern talk shows, so more hosts will undoubtedly be added to the list.

After much thought, the psychic refers to the campus in clues -- then reveals the actual college campus she believes the murders will take place. Other details are given, such as the murderer (an enraged student, teacher, or escapee from the local insane asylum.)

The murder weapon is always an object that will inflict much damage, such as a butcher knife or an axe. This always causes more panic and reminds one of a scary Halloween movie taking place in real life.

The number of college students being killed is anywhere from 10-18 and sometimes states it will only be female students killed by an ax wielding maniac in a Little Bo Peep costume. Later versions of this tale have the murderer wearing a scream mask. This gets your imagination going, doesn't it?

More stories then circulate to frighten non-believers of the original urban legend. They tell of campus parties or dorms where students defied the psychic's advice and were then butchered in the wee hours of the night. They often giving details of a large Halloween frat party on campus where the college students acted like, well, college students.

When this hoax gets going again, there will likely be more students and parents frightened by the new "modernized" details, which seem to add credibility to a classic Halloween urban legend.


hope you enjoyed boys and ghouls!

angelic

so these are the contacts that i've ordered for my halloween costume!! i'm totally psyched about them. and while halloween is costing me an arm and a leg (between my costume and the puppy's; harley's going as a pig, and jet's going to be a bumble bee) it's always worth it!!

why just look at my recent blog entries! if dedicating a whole months worth of entries to october 31st doesn't indicate how much i'm in love with halloween...then i don't know what would?!?

last year i had purchased the "white-out" contacts, for my vampire costume. they fuckin' rocked! basically they block out any color in your eye, only exposing the pupil. the rest is totally white. i couldn't even look some people in the eye, cause they were too frightened.

so this year, still on the creepy contact lens kick, i saw these "angelic" ones and totally fell in love with them! apparently they're going to make them almost glow a fluorescent blue-like color...like an angel's!

now i don't want to ruin the surprise, but i'm thinking of dressing completely in white. white pants, white shirt, white tie, white wings, and then have the blue contacts just punch you right in the face!!

i can't wait. dressing up is half the fun on halloween. it's the one night of the year where you can act completely and totally retarded, and look as creepy and as kooky as you want...and nobody can say anything about it! it's even encouraged to be freaky!

i think we all go through that stage when dressing up isn't "cool" anymore, but as we get older, and when liquor gets involved, costumes on halloween turn into a whole new level of fun! we begin to explore the possibilities and indulge them. you can dress up as your deepest darkest fantasy, or you could be something completely opposite from who you are...the options are endless! even the most tabboo of costumes are accepted; i once saw a guy at a rave go as someone's sex slave...i'm talking g-string, hand cuffs, dog collar (complete with chain) around his neck, bare feet (at the electropolis-yuck!) black eye make-up and lipstick writing all over his body!!

so if that guy can get away with it, what are you waiting for?

use your imagination...

the original scream queen

before neve campbell, before jennifer love hewitt and before buffy, i mean sarah michelle... there was an original scream queen...and that lady was jamie lee!

she was the one! the only! the best! all beginning with the original "halloween", she was laurie strode...the sister of michael myers, who one halloween night crawled into his older sister's room and murdered her in cold blood with his mother's sharpest carving knife.

16 years later he's come back to haddonfield, with only one thing on his mind...

after halloween, she continued on in halloween 2 (which was probably one of the best sequels to ever be a part of the horror genre, which took place the same night as the first one). but then she dissappeared from her crazed masked brother, until H20.

between roles she was still a huge part of the genre playing in such fright flicks as "terror train", "the fog" and "prom night". but it's her reaccuring part in the halloween movies that truly sent a chill up my spine.

in halloween: H20 (20 years later) she returns to her role as the terrorized baby-sitter, now fully grown of course and the head mistress of a very posh and secluded private school in northern california.

but michael tracks her down and continues his reign of terror. does she get away? does she survive? does she put her brother to rest???

unfortunately they make us wait till halloween:resurrection (shitty, shitty, shitty), for laurie strode to make a final appearance...this time she's in an insane asylum, apparently driven crazy from all those years of running from a knife-wielding maniac. and i won't ruin it for you, but let's just say the star of the movie is busta rhymes...and tyra-big boobs-banks makes an appearance!

so this halloween, while perusing the aisles of your local video depository, and you come across the festive horror section, pick up one of miss curtis' fright films...her scream is guaranteed to top even the best pipes in the bizz...

jack o' lantern

my family and i always took great care in carving our pumpkins while i was growing up. we even had a signature look to them; which usually included big black marbles as eyeballs, and pumpkin innerds doubling as brains or human remains leaking from the mouth!! (gross out!!)

ever wonder where the idea of carving jack o' lanterns came from? well here's a little fable to explain the custom: This is based on an old Irish legend about the drunk, Jack. One day he was out in the woods and tricked Satan into a tree to throw down some fruit. Once Satan had helped him he carved a cross into the tree and trapped him there. He then struck a deal that Satan would leave his soul alone when he died. This backfired when he died since heaven would not take him either. When he kept bothering the Devil to let him in the Devil gave him a burning ember instead. He carried the ember in a hollowed out turnip (sometimes described as rotton) to light his way as he wandered through eternal darkness on the earth. Eventually this was replaced with the pumpkin in America and became the modern Jack-o-Lantern.

interesting...

the lanterns originally carved out of turnips, potatoes or beats, represented the souls of departed loved ones, and were placed in window sills and on door steps to welcome home the deceased on all hallow's eve. they also served as protection against malevolent spirits or goblins freed from the dead.

it has been an essential part of halloween celebrations since the victorian days, and is a universal symbol of halloween.

so think of this story as you gut your vegetable plant this halloween!

happy carving!

el dia de los muertos

or day of the dead, if you will, is basically the mexican version of halloween. (in layman's terms). the celebration traditionally starts at midnight the night of Oct. 31, and the festivities are abundant in images related to death.

the customs have different origins, and their attitudes toward death are different: In the typical Halloween festivities, death is something to be feared. But in el día de los muertos, death — or at least the memories of those who have died — is something to be celebrated.

it's one of the biggest celebrations in mexico, and it's even becoming more popular in the states. Specifics of the celebration vary, but one of the most common customs is the making of elaborate altars to welcome departed spirits home. Vigils are held, and families often go to cemeteries to fix up the graves of their dearly departed relatives. Festivities also frequently include traditional foods such as pan de muerto (bread of the dead) which can conceal a miniature skeleton, skull-shaped candies and sweets, and paper mache skeletons and other ghouly figures.

this is an example of the elaborate style altars that are built to honor the return of the dearly departed. at the top of the article, is the candle light vigil at night.

hocus pocus

now i hope this movie is familiar to those of you halloween-movie fans, because it's an absolute must for this time of year. and for those of you who've never heard of the wondrous movie that is disney's "hocus pocus", STOP READING this right now, and rush out to your nearest 'cockbuster' and rent it!!!! then come back, and finish reading my entry. you won't be disappointed!

"hocus pocus" (in my house atleast) is probably the original halloween movie of choice. dating back to 1993, it's a tad bit outdated (being one of sarah jessica's earlier roles before satc) but still very much enjoyable. set in salem, it tells the tale of the sanderson sisters, executed over 300 years ago for practicing witchcraft; more specifically for 'sucking the lives out of little children', they are brought back to life on all hallow's eve when a virgin lights the black flame candle thusly activating the curse the witches put into play before they died.

brought back only for the one night, it's a race against time as they try to capture the lifeforce of as many children as possible in an attempt to stay alive forever, all before the sun comes up.

bette midler, sjp and kathy najimi are all hysterical in the three main roles of the sisters, and a very young thora birch (better known as kevin spacey's titty-flashing daughter in american beauty, or as the dark main character of ghost world) plays the heroine.

it's pg fun, but highly enjoyable as the witches battle against the 20th century in an attempt to secure their evil in salem forever!

how's that for a sales pitch?

i'm sure we all have that one movie that just screams 'halloween' to us. and to me, it's hocus pocus. i watch it religiously around this time of year, and it always gets me in the mood.

honestly it's worth your while just to check out sarah jessica parker as the dumb and ditzy blonde witch who's the slutty of the three.


trick or treat

all hallow's eve

well it's that time of year again, kiddies! what time of year would that be, you ask? well just the most wonderful time of the year!!

OCTOBER!!

and what holiday comes on the last day of this month??? that's right...HALLOWEEN!! halloween has always been my absolute favorite day of the year. hands down! so being that we're into october now, i thought i'd dedicate every blog entry for this month to everyone's favorite nocturnal october celebration!

shall we begin with a little bit of history? Behind the name... Halloween, or the Hallow E'en as they call it in Ireland , means All Hallows Eve, or the night before the 'All Hallows', or 'All Saints', or 'All Souls' Day, observed on November 1.

The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort and direction during the long, dark winter.

To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other's fortunes. When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.

well, i hope i didn't bore you with that lil' history lesson. but a true halloween fan probably found that at least a tad bit interesting. hopefully...

angel

well this is her, my newest tattoo. isn't she beautiful? i'm going to take a digital photo of my whole back soon and post it, so you get the whole effect.

the only differences are she's got a little bit of blue in her halo, to match the rest on my back, and her face is completely colored in.

she's innocent, sexual, mysterious, and angelic. like me!! just kidding! she's in the center of my back along my spine inbetween the other two, and besides being probably the most painful of the 7 i have, she's also the most lovely. and perhaps my favorite.

more to come later!

a what???

the other night at jet's obedience class, one of the instructors called my lil' puppy an "a-hole". not an "asshole", but an "a-hole"!! can you believe it?

not only did she try and make it less offensive by not completing the curse, but i'm sorry..."DUH!!!" that's why we're here!!??!!

if he was the best behaved dog in the world i could think of other ways i'd rather spend 150 bucks!!!

she's a MEAN teacher i tell you...a MEAN TEACHER!!

and are you ALLOWED to talk to me like that?? cause last time i checked i didn't come here to have my child scrutinized from the likes of some sackville dog-trainer-assistant!!

maybe i should put all my energy into training jet to bite her in the ass the next time i see her...

or maybe i'll just go up and bite her next class.

that'll teach her...that'll teach her real good.

moola

so c100 has this contest right now, called "beat the bank." basically what happens is that you call-in, and you start off with no money. they open up the first "bank vault", and that gives you a certain "balance". so you keep opening these bank vaults, each one containing more money than the last, thusly increasing your balance. you can walk away whenever you want with whatever balance you arrive with, HOWEVER with each new vault you open you run the risk of getting caught by "the police" and losing everything! so if you open up one too many and get caught, you walk away with NOTHING!!! so it's a gamble, cause you're curious as to how much the vaults ahead of you might hold.

some vaults can contain upwards to $5000!!!! so this morning some guy got through, and started opening vaults...he quit at like 550 bucks, and of course they insist on opening all the remaining vaults, just to rub it in to see exactly how much he COULD have won.

and the last vault before he would have gotten caught contained 10 000 dollars!!!!! isn't that fuckin' retarded?!? i'd be soooooo angry if i had quit when he did!!!!!

can you imagine winning $10 000 just from calling into your local radio station while getting ready for work?? that's insane! you could buy a car with that money for cryin' out loud!!

what would you do if you won $10 000? first thing i'd do is pay off my bed, then i'd pay off my visa bill, then i'd get another tattoo, take my honey on a trip somewhere lovely, move into a nice new apartment, buy a new couch, and a new dog (JUST KIDDING!!) do a little bit of shopping, and then put the rest away for me education!!

did i go over my limit?

bridalicious

well it was even better than i had anticipated, (if that's possible). it was the most wonderful story with the most character of any of tim burton's previous tales, i've ever seen!

such detail pas paid to each individual character and their makeup, no matter how small or unimportant their part.

he truly has a love and deep motivated devotion to his craft, and you can just sense his energy pulsating from the screen for what he does.

it was a sometimes melancholy tale of love and romance, set against a dark 17th century backround, filled with optimism and emotion. i truly had tears at the end, for it was a fantastically beautifully done film!

go see it immediately!

and a deep-rooted thanks goes out to miss brianne who sweetly invited lil' ol' me to be her accompanyer to the premiere! that was unbelievalby sweet of you! i had a wicked time, so thanks again!!

cover-up

so after speaking with my new york confidante last night (who's coming back to the homeland in approximately 9 more sleeps!! eeeeek!!) i was informed of an important tidbit of information related to a topic long-ago addressed.

that topic would be on the 'waifier' of the olsen twins, mary-kate. as you may have heard, (or may have had drilled into your brain) m-k was hospitalized earlier this year for what was publicized as an eating disorder. she was caught roaming the streets of new york (where she and sister ashley go to school) on countless occassions looking pin-thin and completely washed out, not to mention homeless in baggy clothes that weren't even the least bit fashionable!

the whole world cried for her; "what a sin" we all said! "look what the pressures of fame did to the poor girl!" blah, blah, blah!!

BUT IT WAS ALL A FARCE!! i'm officially here to set the record straight; mary-kate didn't have anorexia (well maybe she did, or does but that's not the reason she was hospitalized.) according to my reliable dirt source, she's A DRUG ADDICT!!!

now let me just say; a. i'm not surprised.
b. no judgement.

apparently it was a pr firm's decision to publicize it as anorexia and not coke addiction! personally i think she should just have come out and allowed herself a spot in the "teen actor cliche" category in which she belongs, along with other fellow teenage fuck-ups like macauley and that kid from the terminator movies. both of whom, might i add, were honest enough to simply to admit to their faults and then move on.

my advice to you mary-kate, is to pull a drew and disappear from the public eye for a while, straighten up, buckle down, get better, and then reappear a beautiful reborn butterfly fresh and ready to tackle anything.

new model comes complete with perkaset perscription and lifetime supply of lucky brand cigarettes. see in store for details.

corpse bridezilla

so i've loved tim burton and his movies for as long as i can remember. he has always been my favourite director, from the first time i ever layed eyes on beetlejuice.

for decades he's been dazzling audiences with his dark flicks who always have a comic twist! he's a director who enjoys the macabre and is delighted to delve deep into the supernatural with his gothic images and halloween twists. "corpse bride" marks burton's second release this year (the first being ofcourse the trippy "charlie and the chocolate factory") and his second stop-motion full-length animated feature film, the first being "the nightmare before christmas".

i think one of the main things i enjoy so much about his work is first and foremost his imagination; why just look at some of his ideas! edward scissorhands (un-fuckin' believable movie...hands down one of my most favourite!) to beetlejuice (beyond creative) to the tear-filled "big fish" (cried my eyes out) to "peewee's big adventure" to "sleepy hollow" to "ed wood".

his movies are known for their ability to create highly imaginative worlds that surround the characters in his stories, each one unique!

he has a vision that knows no bounds, and it almost seems like there's nothing he can't create. tim burton has never done something simply to impress critics, his work is for himself and no one else! we're just the ones who love it!!



the other thing i enjoy about this talented man, is the fact that he's not afraid to be morbidly weird. why just look at what he did with the "batman" story. while i totally fell in love with the newer batman flick, what tim did with the first two i thought was amazing. they will always be the best of the dark knight legacy.

so "corpse bride" begins this weekend, and i know i'm not alone when i say just how excited i am! carrying on in the dark romantic tradition of other classic tim burton films like edward scissorhands and the nightmare before christmas, it tells the tale of of victor, a young man whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious corpse bride, while his real bride waits in the land of the living. while his time spent in the underworld proves to be more than exciting, he learns that there's nothing in this world or the next that can supposedly keep him from the woman he loves.

it's being advertised at a tale of optimism, romance, and the afterlife in classic tim burton style! starring the voices of johnny depp (a burton fave) and helena bonham carter, it's sure to be a winner!

check it out, yo!

baby spears

well it's official ladies and gents...britney's a mom! yesterday, shortly after 1pm in santa monica, california britney 'fatty' spears and husband kevin 'dirtbag' federline arrived at the hospital (with a police escort) shortly before 6 am and were whisked away into a birthing suite. a few hours later she was wheeled into a delivery room and within minutes via c-section, brit delivered a healthy baby BOY!!

awwww, good for her!

a source close to spears (i hate it when magazines say that) told US magazine that "pregnancy has not agreed with britney..." well DUH!!! have any of you seen the whale lately??? she was humongous! but i'll get to that in a minute.

although the couple has not yet legally named the baby, sources say they plan to name him "preston michael spears federline."

awwwww!

now onto the bitchiness: she was an ugly pregnant person! wasn't she? i mean, she just totally let herself go, and used it as an excuse to eat all the shit she wanted to! in short that girl did not take care of herself! and what was with cutting her hair off? who told her THAT was a good idea, she looked more like a cracked out courtney love than anything else!! in short she was totally missing the radiance that most glowing pregnant women have!

so she's a mother at 24...good for her! probably not so good for her career...can you see her bouncing back from having a child? doubtful, if you ask me...verrrrry doubtful!

consider this; i mean she'll be off for at least a year from the biz, then when she's actually ready to come back to it all she'll probably be able to live off her earnings for a few more years...then she'll become lazy and push it off for a bit longer...then before you know it you're gold-digger of a husband will have gambled away all your cash, you'll be addicted to perkaset, jamie-lynn will be dancin' for twonies at the titty twister, and you're boy'll be pimpin' the streets of kentucky or whatever lil' hick town that you be finding yourselves in!!

i think her next single should be a lullabye...wouldn't that be sweet? or maybe a remake of "you are my sunshine".

then her and i would really be tight.

off to school

my lil' one is off to school tomorrow night. yuppers, jet starts obedience training tomorrow evening...and well, i'm a little bit terrified!

why's that you ask? well for those of you who don't know my youngest child, lemme just tell you that he's basically a hellion on four paws!! sometimes i think he should be black or red to mirror his behaviour! his sleek white fur is a mere facade; a mask to his deviant attitudes! he's BAD, BAD I TELL YOU!!

well i'm exaggerating a tad, but you get the drift!! he's a puppy, and he has some issues to work out...scratch that, I'VE apparently got some 'father' issues to work out! from what i hear the instructor's gonna tell me i'm the worst dog-owner that ever lived, and it's my fault he's so badly behaved.

why am i putting myself through all this??? i don't wanna come out of this feeling worse about myself!!! this is supposed to be beneficial, not harming to my ego!!! and i don't take criticism very well when it comes to my children, so if the dude gets all up in my face and insults my 'fathering' techniques i'm gonna have to bite my tongue to stop myself from sayin' something.

no i'm not that confrontational, but you know what i mean.

i just hope he doesn't go and bite some poor lil' yorkie and give himself rabies...


wish me luck!

mima

well a shout out to renia (a catchphrase i coined just in time...one that i should copyright since it's spreading like wildfire) and their killer "naughty office party" this year; sorry i didn't comment on it before now!! but you guys did a rawkin' job!

but today's entry is mainly a lil' wee tribute to miss mima herself! yes, you maria aaboe! we'll certainly miss you while you're away, friday nights just won't be the same without you! and while i'm certain that she's cursing the shit outta me right now for posting her breasts all over the internet...what can you do?!?
it ain't the first time i seen 'em!!!! tee hee!!

we love you maria, so sail safe, and remember; one hand for the boat, one for yourself!!

kisses



i couldn't resist this one. i'm sure my honey's too proud right now!!

plageurism

now i know i seem to pick on tara reid a lot lately, (poor thing, eh?) but i found this article and peed a little when i read it!!!! it's total plageurism, but i give kudos to the bloke who thought it up!!!



Tara Reid's designer handbag was stolen at the Spanish isle of Ibiza's airport on Sunday. The Balenciaga handbag contained $180,000 worth of jewelry, including a Rolex watch that apparently had "sentimental value," a detail which her publicist hopes will garner our sympathies but won't because we're all going to snicker self-righteously instead and here's why:

Why is it that Tara Reid has $180,000 worth of jewelry and a Balenciaga handbag and I don't? I would have at least kept an eye on it, and then I would have cherished the handbag and worn the jewelry and splurged on some breast implants and liposuction procedures that weren't conducted in a back-alley and been grateful for my fame and fortune which I would have deserved. Sure, that would essentially make me a tranny with expensive taste, but so what? I'd still be more sensible and demure than Tara Reid, who, if recent history has taught us anything, probably drank her handbag. God, she did drink her handbag, didn't she? Fess up, Reid! You drank your own handbag is a drunken stupor, didn't you? Didn't you, Rummy? Bah, what's the point? She's already passed out.

last night a dj saved my life

i was thinking the other day about groups in society, especially those who follow dj culture...and i was wondering; does everybody who's part of a certain societal movement/group think that this movement began and ended with them?

take dj culture for example; or ravers if you will. i started going to parties about 6 years ago, just about the time when this culture was fuckin' booming! i mean macleans magazine even had a full spread about the newfound 'underground music' fascination. flyers were everywhere, and there was a rockin' party to go to EVERY weekend! they were so popular, the train station downtown even opened up their doors to us!! yes, that's right...yours truly 'indulged' and danced away till the wee morning hours in halifax's own lil' train station! anyways, they were HUGELY popular!

and they remained that way for the next few years...then, suddenly our fair little city just kinda turned on them...venues shut their doors and there just weren't any places to have them anymore. they started having weekly bar nights...but they just weren't the same. picture the electropolis (on lower water street) packed to the tits with 1500 to 2000 people, with the most slammin' dj you can think of spinnin' the craziest records, all atop a 10 foot high stage with a trippy light show complete with lasers for all our viewing pleasure. not to mention the fact that you couldn't even see the ceiling, and when you could you might even catch a glimpse of a few left-over props from "lexx" that were being stored there overnight. (once they had this ginormous lobster hanging from the ceiling...trippy, just trippy!) and compare all that to a silly lil' night at reflections where you're kicked out at 3:30...and there's just no comparaison!

so now all us veterans are left with only pictures of that time, and a few fuzzy memories where we're all a little sketchy on the details! but looking back, the narcissist in all of us takes the credit for making this scene so popular back in it's day. and if you ask me, i'd say we were!! but were we really? did the rave scene really begin and end with us? were we responsible for making it as big as it really was? and then for letting the scene die?

it's funny looking back at old photos of that time; even funnier to run into an old raver on the street cause everybody has changed sooo much. we really were like a little family. i mean when you hang out with the same people every weekend, you kinda get used to having them around.

but what happened? did this sudden halt in raves happen all around the world? or is it just because halifax stopped having them that the interest suddenly wained? well the answer my friends, can be seen all around you; why just google "ibiza" and you'll come up with millions of links to the most jammin' party island in the world where the culture is alive and well. and not going anywhere! or at the very least look in the electronica section at hmv the next time you visit; cause it certainly still thrives!

therefore the conclusion i come to is that halifax just wasn't ready for such an underground culture to be a part of it's day to day society, and thus the culture died off. well at least part of it did. the music part is still thumpin' (pardon my pun), and not just on the east coast. electronica will be around all over the world for as long as time. the scene has simply evolved into something a bit more vast and less concentrated.

poser-lovers of electronica music will come and go, but the trained eye can always spot a 'lifer'; we're the ones you see on the street tappin' their foot or bobbin their whole body, to a beat that can only be heard in their head!

and ps, the painting at the top is by justin bua (my favourite artist) entitled appropriately "the dj". i urge you to check out his urban art (justinbua.com)

beautiful as always

how beautiful is my lil' sweet!! she's sepposedly the new face for gucci westman's new make-up line: rose mystére! good for her! it's about time that people started recognizing the eternal beauty of this lady...although i must admit i kinda wish she'd go back to blonde...or atleast to a darker shade of the color she's sporting right now...but still beautiful!!

i love you drew

rich x-tina

so did you hear that russian billionaire andrey melnichenko paid christina aguilera (pictured at left during her x-tina identity crisis) 3.6 million dollars to sing two freakin' songs at his wedding?!? isn't that the most retarded thing you've ever heard?

now don't get me wrong, i love lil' miss aguilera...i have her stripped cd, and whenever "dirrty" comes on downtown, my body begins thrusting out of control...HOWEVER, i can think of many, many, many, many (how many many's is that?) other artists who if i had 3.6 million to throw away, would rather spend it on to have them sing a ditty at the ceremony!!

true she has a gorgeous voice, and according to one wedding guest there wasn't a dry seat in the house when she sang "beautiful" (an amazing song, very heartfelt), but it's only christina aguilera!! come on, buddy!! now to christina this is probably an insane amount of cash...especially since she got a free trip to the south of france out of the deal too! not to mention accomodations in a 1400 dollar a night resort!! all compliments of the russion wacko!!

well good for her, i guess! i mean if someone out there is that big a fan of the former mouseketeer, and has apparently money to burn...why not?

personally i hope that for 3.6 million, she better have fuckin' joined them in bed or something!! or atleast given him a hand job!!
