I don't get it, Kid Rock!!

What the heck is going on...........first of all, I like Kid Rock, I really do well did.
He is who he is, nothing phoney about this guy.....what you see is what you get. Would he have been able to date a Pamela Anderson if he remained in Detroit....working at an auto shop? Probably not. Still, I liked him just fine. I even liked his songs......someone I never liked and couldn't stand to even look at was and still is, Scott Strapp (what a strap he is)
No offense Scotty since I know you are/were a Creed fan (I will never let you live that down....come to philly and don't call me.....you will never live it down)

So what is Kid Rock doing hanging out with Strapp-o? It was bad enough when Kid Rock was hanging out with Joe C (I think Joe C would have lived longer if he wasn't hanging out with Kid living that life) I wouldn't share a cab with Scott Strapp let alone make a sex tape.
If Kid Rock made a sex tape with anyone else, he wouldn't be trying so hard and suing to keep it in private. I think it is because of Scott Strapp. Kid is so embarassed that he hung out with him........he must have been wasted. Or do you think they get into some hanky panky?

Both of their careers are over basically anyway right?

So, why do I loathe scott? Well, he is so vain..........I am convinced he was super religious although I am speculating because I don't know much about him. he has this hubris about him....
I read once that he spent a lot or all of the band's money in the early days on a pyramid scheme. What a complete loser? Then he got married to some tart, saw them on Cribs maybe............he went off the deep end as I like to say, divorced, has a kid I think, got thrown out of the band......
then makes a sex tape with Kid. That might be the best thing that has happened to him in a long time.

I guess we won't see it on the internet huh?

OCD--Not a laughing matter

But how come I often laugh............it isn't funny, at least not to the person going through it.
Did anyone happen to see "True Life: I have OCD" on MTV? It is a series, just another series that lets us peer into someone's unfortunate life in replace of videos which is what MTV used to be back in the 80's! Well, the other night it was about OCD. I usually don't bother with those shows especially when it is "True Life: I'm getting calf implants". But anything to do with OCD I usually have to watch. Did anyone see it? It was somewhat painful and oddly showed 2 out of 5 people getting help for the condition and where they were in treatment at the end of the show.
Some of the people, and their symptoms (the one guy in particular with his constant touching the doors and his "bathroom" ritual.......were the most bizarre, sad, annoying etc.
By the way, he HAS a girlfriend and she's cute! He is totally bananas.

He performs at coffee shops, playing the guitar and he has some fear of all of a sudden needing to go number 2, going in a strange place, risking getting it on his hands and then on his clothes and smelling.........it is a viscous circle. So he must go number 2 before each gig and he has an entire ritual he performs before going.

Check it out! Please watch his bathroom ritual video!

We all have some levels of OCD. My doctor calls them OCD "symptoms".....we all wonder if we shut off the iron (well not me cuz I don't iron) but coffee pot (I have a faberware peculator that is a plug in) or whatever electronic appliance you may have. Obsessing about a few things is normal. As a kid I had more OCD "symptoms" than I do now. I used to believe if I covered up half of my body with my bed sheet I would be "safe" in bed. So at least one of everything I had two of, had to be covered. Thank goodness I grew out of that. I have another friend that still counts steps.......you see many of these things become habits but people believe that by doing them the same way everytime, prevents some sort of catastrophic event.
Speaking of obessions...........
Well, call me OCD. I couldn't have this toilet in my house. Why do they need to show you the simulated pipe action....I don't need to see the route my poo is taking once it enters the bowl. I think this is a terrible design idea. I would probably have it removed if it was already in my house when I bought it. is that crazy?

Something is seriously amiss!

Well it's that time of year again..........when you are harassed outside of your local supermarket by kids or simply bugged to death by co-workers selling Girl Scout Cookies.

I am not sure what happened or when it became acceptable for parents to sell things for their kids........but I have a real problem with it. My mother never let my sister and I sell things and at the time we were pissed but now I see why that was a brilliant idea. If you have box after box of Girl Scout Cookies in your home.......who is kidding who? They aren't being sold. 50% are being eaten by the occupants of the house.......same with those candy sales! Next thing you know, you owe the Girl Scouts hundreds of dollars.........and paying $1 for each Reeses Cup or Caramello you ingest adds up!
So, my mother, being the smart lady she is, never let us sell things. She also knew we were lazy as heck.
I'm going back now to the days when it wasn't deadly to go door to door either! When the actual selling was easier....you could do it alone, not with your mom and a bodyguard!

I have to admit, I did participate in the Read-a-Thon, which wasn't just wrong for the simple fact that I bugged people at their homes, but that I was lying and stealing essentially because I was and still am a non reader! So, that was just wrong on my part to participate in such a lie.

So, back to the Girl Scouts and parents selling things for their kids. Then who earns the badge for the most cookies sold? It should go to the parents. I guess I don't mind a parent selling things only I don't want to be asked to buy.........ANYTHING. Put up a sign in the community kitchen or even send an email but that is all I want to know about your cookies!

So, the security guard downstairs (a father this time and not the typical mother) is selling cookies. he has an entire shop set up! He has a sign, photos of his daughter and get this......a plate with the day's featured cookie! Smart right? But then I got to thinking.....it is nice to let us taste the cookie (by the way it is ALWAYS the boring one, shortbread or the new Cafe thing...all plain, never a thin mint or samoa) but he is paying $3.50 a box to let us all "try" the cookies.

Is his strategy paying off? I like the guard so probably I will buy a box but it goes against all that I believe.

My other disappointment came when I was looking on the web for a list of the cookies. I was convinced that there should be a new cookie each year! How hard is it to come up with a new cookie each year??? There aren't many choices and some of the names have changed.
Tagalongs are now called peanut butter patties??? and the Samoa is called some thing like Caramel something or other.......I guess Tagalong isn't a nice expression........if you ask someone if they want to "tagalong" that sounds ok but a tagalong really is a pain in the ass right?
And I'm sure Samoa was found insulting by some. (people from Samoa, also the dogs Samoyed didn't like it much)

I came to a conclusion about the Girls in Girl Scouts. They are lazy. They want the badges but don't want to sell the cookies. They push it on their parents........or they stand outside of a supermarket bugging me. Many don't even have the uniform on at the supermarket. They are just there in their J-Lo sweat outfits. I would be more inclined to purchase cookies from a sweet brownie or GS in her Uniform! Also, they should be going door to door, with a parent, working for the sale! That is how you earn a badge sister. They are also lazy because they can't come up with new cookie ideas! Please, I can think of at least 5 whilst I write this blog entry!

Could this be animal cruelty?

How long do you think it will take Peta to respond to this recent news report about this feline porker? I think it is pretty cute but perhaps not the best idea.

It has a waist about the size of mine....ok mine is bigger. It isn't even the biggest cat to date!

Tubby Tabby Tips Scales at 33 Pounds
CHINA-February 21, 2006 - Being a pampered pet with an easy life has made a cat in China very very fat.
Weighing a 33 pounds, the 9-year-old cat - astonishingly - still enjoys good health according to its owner. This feline monster, from Qingdao, Shandong Province, has a waist measurement of about 31.5 inches.
The cat is so heavy it can't get onto a bed by itself. With so much weight, his vermin chasing is pretty limited, too.
The cat's owner maintains a healthy appetite is to blame for the state of his cat's belly. The cat apparently doesn't show an interest in fish and would rater eat six pounds of chicken and pork each day.

Not sure I buy this...........

Are we supposed to believe that this old nutter had a nail hit him in the collar bone, breaking the skin and then entered his lung to be later, much later coughed up???


35 Years Later, Man Coughs Up Nail
February 21, 2006 - You've heard the saying, "tough as nails?" Well that certainly rings true for a California man who got a big shock while brushing his teeth.
He coughed up a nail!
Eighty-two-year-old Bud Hart was doing some gardening in Minnesota 35 years ago when something flew up and hit him just above his collar bone. He felt a small prick, but thought nothing of it. The next day, he felt a sharp pain in his lower chest. Doctors X-rayed him and found this small nail, which had sealed itself off. The doctors told Bud it wouldn't hurt him and that he'd take the nail to grave.
Bud Hart: "When it hit me just a little like a bee bite, you know, and I put my finger up there and just a little trace of blood you know didn't think much of it." He still had it... up until three weeks ago.
Bud Hart: "I was just starting to brush my teeth, I'd been having this little kind of tickle in my throat you know and it'd been going around so that's what I thought it was." A new scan a month ago showed the nail was actually in Bud's lung and he was going to have it removed. But now there is no need. Bud says he feels just fine.

What a nut--

I'm glad he's there and not here.........he's clearly insane.

Handsome bloke!

HANOI, VIETNAM-February 20, 2006 - Former British rocker Gary Glitter will stand trial in early March on charges he committed obscene acts with two underaged Vietnamese girls, the head of the Vietnamese provincial people's court said Monday.
Glitter, 61, who won fame as a flamboyant glam rocker in the 1970s, has been accused of kissing and fondling a 10-year-old and 11-year-old and "engaging in other physical acts" at his rental home in the coastal resort city of Vung Tau last year. The crime carries a sentence between three to seven years in prison.
"The trial will be held in early March," said Nguyen Van Co, head of the provincial People's Court in southern Ba Ria Vung Tau province. "We will set the date for the trial in the next day or two."
Court officials have not yet decided whether to open the trial to the public or keep it closed, said Co, though he said it was more likely that it would be closed because it involves minors.
"This case seriously violates Vietnamese habits and customs and the families of the two victims have asked for a closed trial," Co said.
Under Vietnamese laws, even if the trial is held in closed session, the verdict and sentencing must be open to the public.
He said the court will ask police to locate the two alleged victims, one of whom is currently living in Vung Tau and the other in the Mekong Delta province of Can Tho.
Glitter, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, has been in police custody at a jail near Vung Tau since Nov. 19, when he was seized in Ho Chi Minh City trying to board a flight out of the country.
During the criminal investigation, police had considered whether to charge Glitter with child rape, which carries a maximum penalty of death, but prosecutors did not find enough evidence to support the charge.
Glitter is perhaps best known for his song "Rock and Roll (Part 2)," still often played at sporting events.
He was convicted in Britain in 1999 of possessing child pornography and served half of a four-month jail term. He later went to Cambodia and was permanently expelled in 2002, but Cambodian officials did not specify any crime or file charges.
