The other residents of the house..

This is an old pic of Scooter. I had to climb
over a friggin six foot fence at 6am to save his
tiny,emaciated,half dead ass from the neighbors pitbull
one morning.Scooter now weighs in at 25 lbs
and growing.


This is Baby. The crackheads that owned her
gave her that name. We found her under our
house around Christmas a few years back.
Obviously the crackheads didnt get her back.
She is the kindest most gentle dog I have ever
known. She has a morbid fear of loud noises
and my use of the word "fuck". Even if I
whisper it under my breath, she bails..she is a
lab/pit mix which makes her look intimidating
but the most she would do is lick someone
to death.

The three stooges, er..kittens.

Sasha was taken from the asshole next door
that beat her daily as a puppie. He said she
wasn't house trained...she never has had an
accident in OUR house.


Originally an only child, Nicky was the b&c's
only companion..till i moved in and started
rescuing every dog and cat that wandered
into the yard.

This is clyde on a hot summer day. Clyde is a
strange siamese cat that does not like that we
have three very active kittens in the house.

MLB Trade Deadline is fast approaching..who's going where?

2days
15hrs
11min
12sec

currently thats how many days,hours, minutes and seconds we have till the trading deadline for baseball as of this minute anyway sportsfans..its a fun time of the year for some, agonizing for others..depends on if your team is a contender or not which side of this fence you fall on..my team is one of the ..cough cough..contenders..laugh if you must, they are in first in the NL West but ONLY by default..they have lost 10 or 11 hell maybe even 12 out of their last 13 so god dammit! but the teams behind them arent playing .500 ball either as of late..but i digress,forgive me..

the current rumors are: AJ Burnett to the Chi Sox, they need to beef it up a tad, but they DO have the best record in baseball so they are planning for the playoffs i guess..the pads just got Joe Randa for a bag of balls from Cinncy..Sid Fat Ass Ponson might be going to the AssRangers if Baltimore can cough up some of the ungodly 8 mil he is due next season..Eric Byrnes might be relocating to Cardinal land ...cards are banged up lately..arent we all...Soriano might be back in NYC but as a MET..thats far fetched but never say never ya know?? Shea Hillenbrand, that well traveled 1st and 3rd basemen might be going to the twins..lots of possibilities..stay tuned..

New music..praise jesus!

actually its not new...its a very OLD video from Joe Bonamassa, one of his first. I will be seeing Joe B along with BB King and Kenny Wayne Sheppard next Wed AND Fri and I can not fucking wait! I love the live version of this song, but its the only version i could find..its called :Miss You Hate You..just rolled back into town, i will post up sumtin lata..

Are you ready for some football"? Apparently Ricky Williams is..again..

Little Ricky is back in the fold in Florida..the angels are singing, the fans are cheering again and the pot dealers are down a customer. Ricky gave up his free wheeling lifestyle to return to the rigors of the NFL after taking a year off to explore "other" lifestyles..holistic medicene, yoga, camping in the Outback and god knows what other endeavors that are frowned upon in NFL circles..oh yeah..he smoked alot of pot also..bear in mind that ricky suffers from a personality disorder that requires daily medication and he quit taking it whilst he was on this soul searching expedition for the last year and a half. He is a quiet soul, very soft spoken and this makes him seem very vunerable. I can appreciate his soul searching quest to find the true meaning of life, its just sad that most people will chuck it up to being stoned alot..i am sure it had an impact but it wasn't the whole enchilada.
The link to the story on cbs sportsline is in the title. Its a fairly even handed account I suggest it if your in need of reading material..

Karl Rove..who the hell is he?

As Bruce pointed out in one of the comments on this blog..Krazy Karl is the Prez's chief advisor...and fuckup apparently. He outed a CIA operative simply because he hated her husband..hubby is a democrat apparently and making lots of noise about the Prez's screwups as of late..who isnt?...but the sad thing is..as a CIA operative outing her possibly put her in harm's way..thats a big fucking no no in most people's minds..and the Prez originally said he would punish to the fullest extent of the law the perp that did this evil deed..until that is, he found out it was his number one boy..now Bushie is back-pedaling his feeble ass off and wont say what he's gonna do about it..Bushie also named his Supreme Court Nom lightening quick in order to take Karl's happy ass off the front pages of most major newspapers..he loves a good story but not if it involves one of his homies i guess..Rove's actions are tatamount to treason during wartime..and last time i checked we were at war....well maybe we shouldn't kill the bastard but he needs to be hung by his fingernails in a cell w/bubba at the very least..

just wanted to clarify who this dipshit is for those that do not read the papers or watch the evenin news..which evidently is a few of you..thats ok however, i do not judge ye ...i do want you to be well informed :)

Geez..if only MY blog were good enough to make into a movie and/or book.

first...this woman's blog is in the top ONE PERCENT of all blogs read and/or linked to..amazing ain't it?

I havent scoped it out yet, but just reading the NY Times article on it makes her sound rich,and very Carrie Bradshaw-esque...you know...Sex and the City..that Carrie..anyways...take a peek if your so inclined, millions of others are evidently..noone it seems can get enough angst,betrayal and humiliation when looking for love in all the expensive places..

Boy did i screw up...

When I read my work schedule for this week, on sunday night around 11pm, I read it wrong,way wrong..i thought it showed 20 hours this week..i said, COOL a short week! I dont have to do shit till Thursday. This was particularly good because I still have a bunch of injuries from my gymnastic performance this past saturday, you know if you read my blog what i mean by that..my body being old and way torn up could use the additional days to recuperate..

WRONG CHARDONNAY BREATH!

In actuality I have 40 FUCKING hours of work this week. I did not discover this until noon today, THURSDAY! this presents a slight problem..how to work 40 hours of work into the remaining days in the week..impossible you say? nah..i can cram em into two and a half days..with a little overtime..the boss lady is not real big on OT...imagine my surpize..

So ...i worked 10 and a half today, and will probably work at least 8 tomorrow..this sucks major moose balls since i am used to working maybe 4 hours a day.Plus you factor the torn upper arm muscle , banged up knees and back into the equation and sportsfans, you have a recipe for MORE PAIN..I took this shitty, mindless, part time job for a reason..IT WAS PART FUCKING TIME! i do not want to work full time, if i did i sure as hell wouldnt be doing this hair ball job...all i wanted was enough money to pay those little credit card bills the ball and chain isnt aware of..and the occasional fantastic pair of shoes..this job offered flexiblity with a capital F sportsfans, only a few hours a week, and they could be worked anytime between the hours of 6am and midnight..I am a nightowl for the most part, staying up till 4 am getting up at 6am then cat napping during the day and early evening..it works for me maybe not you..but anyways..i digress forgive me.

I will be driving far and wide tomorrow..and its hot..real fucking hot..try 107 with the humidity in the high 30's..which makes the dewpoint in the high 50's..which means..fuck who cares what it means..its fucking hot..and it has been for over 11 straight friggin days...this makes me cranky..very cranky..old overweight people do NOT enjoy being hot and sticky unless it is rolling around in bed with your lover..and that aint happening anytime soon...anywho..i gotta work all freaking weekend and then leave for vegas on monday morning at the fine hour of 4 or 5 am...the ball and chain likes to get over the great divide prior to the temperature reaching 127 in death valley..or whatever friggin nasty desolate desert area we drive thru on the way to Vegas..and there isn't even a concert for moi this trip..its our annual anniversery trip back to the mecca where we married on July 31st of some recent year, forgive me if i dont recall it at this late hour..vegas,land of elvis and wayne newton..we got married by an elvis impersonator..a little Filipino guy..he did sound alot like elvis however so it made up for the fact that he looked NOTHING like elvis..even in that gnarly white jumpsuit w/all the rhinestones on it..

Also, its the annual Coaches trip to vegas, the college coaches from our local JC. They are the ball and chains drinking buddies,along with the head of the probation dept(that guy is a major lush),an assistant DA and god knows what other mucky mucks...i am the only female allowed to attend..i feel so lucky!!! not really, but the attention is nice..they admire my sportsbrain :)
I would like to beg off this year...the boss lady has informed me that i have lots of work since we went from three field reps to one and a half...the half being the new hire that cant take a full stress load yet..lucky her..

So think of me dear friends, working my injured body to death this whole weekend..walking the miles and miles of grocery aisles..making sure that proctor& gamble, frito-lay, pepsi-co and god knows what other manufacturer's goods are appropriately displayed for your purchasing pleasure. I know most of the managers in these stores and lately they look at me an say.."I thought you only worked part time? Your here more than most of our employees." I also like the ones that laugh and say.."I thought you didnt have to work weekends."

If i had read my schedule right I wouldn't be..dammit..fuck you Pepsi! I hope Coke beats the shit out of you in sales this month...

This weeks PSA

This weeks PSA is brought to you by the folks at Air America Radio... a fine bunch of folks that have alternative talk radio..they are offering this very nice cotton Tshirt for sale and asking everyone to sign a petition to fire fucktard Karl Rove. You can put your own message in the petition too, which alot of folks that love to write letters to the White House might find fun. The petition website is embedded in the title of course..

Today's Musical Interlude..

Its one of my favorite songs by the Eagles, Dirty Laundry. Its performed however by Elvis's kid Lisa Marie..sorry i couldnt find an eagles version sportsfans..it fits with my current rants on the Bush administration's bullshit regarding Karl Rove and the new Supreme Court Nominee..

Now for something a little less political

this is a nice little site that provides answers to some of the mysterys of life..things that can be explained by the geneticists among us..i for one am NOT a geniticist so i found this very interesting and fun in a geek sort of way...it explains lots of mundane things such as: eye color, tongue rolling ability and has a good discussion on Parkinsons Disease using Muhammed Ali as an example. The link is per usual, embedded in the title.

Bush sure can pick em..

May i start out by saying that I firmly believe that Bush rushed to judgement on this nomination ONLY to get his boy Karl Rove off the front pages...i would bet my life on it.

John Roberts has only been a judge for and year and a half...thats it folks!!! Somehow i just dont see this guy as a seasoned jurist with a whopping 18 months on the bench..do you?..he was of course appointed by Bushie to the appeals court in 2003...I wouldnt feel too comfortable getting an opinion from a doctor that had only been in practice for 18 months and i feel becoming a supreme court justice requires a certain amount of experience, you dont put rookies in a position of authority right out of the gate..

He is as far right as you can get, he has MORE experience as a lobbyist for the religious right and as a corporate attorney than anything else. He staunchly believes that Roe v. Wade should be overturned and wrote numerous papers on this topic.

He believes the Enviornmental protection act goes to far, and it needs to be curtailed..he believes that public schools should not only allow prayer but enforce its practice, he has lobbyed to destroy the Voting Rights Act, he has attempted to protect strip mining operations and this one is my true favorite...he worked for Ken Starr..you remember Ken Starr, the man that spent millions of tax dollars digging around for SOMETHING to nail Clinton on regarding the "white water" fiasco...which never panned out but cost the taxpayers a bloody fortune..that witch hunt went on for years and the only result was one individual going to jail for refusing to talk before ol Kenny and his pals, her name was Susan and she finally got out of jail after they told Ken Starr to take a fucking hike..talk about overzealous right wing nut jobs..Ken Starr's picture should be in the dictionary under that term...

anyways....we are in a heap of trouble sportsfans..Roberts is a true right wing corporate suit who's allegiance is to big money,the religious right and nothing else..

New Blog for an Old Bitch..

since my back is killing me and i can't sleep..i procreated another blog..this one is not for the faint of heart or thin skinned..its a political blog for the most part. its over on the right entitled "Dusty's Political Rant"blog..read it or dont..its up to you as usual..

If bad luck comes in threes...i have double my quota this week..and its only MONDAY.

I hope that you will enjoy Eric Claption and BB King doing a great rendition of "Riding with the King" while reading my tale of woe..

It started Saturday. I was attempting to enter my humble abode loaded down with the following: a laptop,purse and large bag of groceries. For whatever reason, the poodle gets in the way and trips me up..i have been known to be a clumsy fuck in the past so this presents an immediate problem for moi..i start to fall out the door..not in..out..as i attempt to save my aforementioned belongings from hitting the cement steps i quickly calculate that my face will instead hit the cement steps unless i take quick evasive action. I do what i consider the only thing available in the nanosecond it takes to do a face plant, i hang all my body weight on my right arm on the handle to the screen door. This action prevents me from completing the face plant on the cement steps, but it provides the opportunity of smashing my right knee into said cement steps..oh well, a knee is better than a face on the cement steps any day. Unfortunetly its the same knee that has suffered numerous injuries in the past including the 30+ stitches when i opened the sucker up on a curb as a small but dumb child. As i swing precariously around like a fucking ragdoll on the screendoor handle, bouncing my right knee off BOTH steps i silently wonder where in the hell my son and/or husband are AND if the neighbors are enjoying my gymnastic prowess i am currently exhibiting in broad daylight..

I finally release the death grip i have on the screendoor handle and fall to both knees on the friggin cement steps...the dog is oblivious to anything wrong at this point and stands there wagging her damn tail and smiling..it may have been a smirk i dont fucking know..

Suddenly it dawns on me that besides the wonderful scrapes and bruises on both knees my shoulder suddenly burns and hurts like a mutha..i mean it was on the same scale as child birth...on the pain scale childbirth is always the 10 to me..and i was doped up to my eyeballs and would of gladly beat the nurse to death with my fists for another epidural..it hurt THAT bad..even when i shattered and flew out the CLOSED drivers side window while my car was doing a nice spiral around that tree in '78, that pain was nothing compared to childbirth dear friends..in any case, i surmise i just might of dislocated my right shoulder...wow wee..this is gonna hurt big fucking time sports fans..and it does..

I try to regain my composure, surveying the 'hood for people watching my acrobatic movements and i see no one..whew..i am biting a hole in my lip to keep from screaming in pain and i drag my ass into the house mumbling to the dog that i will rip her throat out if she doesnt move the hell out of my way this time around..

ok...the b&c is laying around watching god knows what 50 year old cowboy movie in the bed room...i do my best imitation of the hunchback of notre dame as i drag my wounded leg and shoulder back the half a friggin block to the bedroom. by this time tears are streaming down my cheeks and i swear if i live thru this i will put a ramp to the front door, regardless of the cost involved..

i collapse on the floor in a crying heap at the foot of the bed..takes the b&c a minute to wake up and notice the moaning, crying lump that is moi on the floor. my brain goes into action, i start screaming out orders..get me a sheet and roll it up..i need it now jackass not next week move it move it...i find if i hold my arm up with my other hand and brace it against my ribcage the pain somewhat lessens..i order the poor man to remove my shirt gingerly..he puts the arm in the sling and i can finally breathe..no i am NOT going to the ER people die in that place from god knows what i tell him..if my fingers turn blue then i will go.

in short i hosed up the following body parts.both my knees, my right shoulder and of course my back..the same back that has two very badly herniated discs that can blow and leave me paralyzed from the waist down..this kinda worries me because now i can not move without major pain in my lumbar area..i scream out for vicodin and a glass of wine..fuck it, this needs to stop hurting NOW and those two things together might hurry the process..i tell the b&c that the ER room is NOT an option unless i lose consciousness and to not bring it up again..poor man looked worse than i did at this point...helpless and dumbfounded that i could still scream out orders in my current state.

i stayed doped up all day and night saturday..which wasn't the smartest thing because i had to transmit a report for the days work to HQ in Chicago...i tried to let the b&c help me with this but to no avail..the man can do nothing other than open a browser on a computer..cut and paste is a foreign concept to him..sending reports was way the hell over his head..but i got it done in between the crying and wailing in pain...THEN i collasped..

sunday found me hurting..alot...but my shoulder wasn't dislocated..thank god for small favors..my knees looked like i had been drug behind a car for 20 miles but hell..could of been worse...could of needed stitches again..my back was the main pain avenue and i am used to that..it has hurt for 25 years...its my old friend..

monday was a gem..i slept alot..i also tripped over one of the OTHER dogs and smashed the same right knee into the corner of the four hundred pound coffee table..why do they call it a coffee table? i dont fucking know..but i wondered about it as i screamed in agony once again..the dog is of course going into heat and acting crazy as a loon..she is due to be spayed wednesday and the price will double if her ass is in heat..not her ass, but you know what i mean...

the highlight of the day was when my boss calls and says she might have to unload some more stores on me..she just hired a girl but the other field rep is now taking a six month leave of absence due to her mothers declining health..my hours are going to skyrocket like the national debt..oh joy just what i needed..i took the job because it said..PART TIME...they lied evidently..and i got alot of out of town trips scheduled for the next two and a half weeks..nothing like working all day, driving for four hours and then driving back after the concert.. two days in the same week!!!!yeah i can do it...fuck..i think i can, i hope i can..i will dammit..i have no choice..i will NOT give up a $100 and a $50 ticket to see BB King and my beloved Joe Bonamassa in BB's final tour,he's 80 this year and i got tickets to the San Diego and Primm Nevada shows two days apart..yeah its dumb but you dont know my love of music if you question this..not bad knees, blown discs,hosed up shoulder or work schedules will keep me from my music..my sanity might however..the jury is still out on that one..

one final blow to my frayed senses...to add insult to injury..the YANK$ ARE NOW IN FIRST FREAKING PLACE IN THE AL EAST..oh what did i do so wrong to deserve all this..i ask you..what could possibly go wrong now..wait..nevermind..do NOT answer that..

Two new blogs to check out if you haven't already..

i think i found them thru Jenn's blog Jenius..thanks girl :) they are both intelligent and funny blogs which is not always easy to find..they are "An80'sNut" and "Vavoom" blogs, the new links are to your right at the bottom of my linkage thingy..go give em a shot folks..everyone wants to know that someone reads the shit they post up..

Introducing...drum roll please..Video of the Day

Lots of people now have video on their blogs..i am joining the crowd...so i will now put up a video that matches my mood and/or current post..hope you folks like the bluesy ones cuz thats my favorite music..but it wont all be blues..some will be topic specific if i can find them...like Dirty Laundry for the Carl Rove debacle, which i havent ranted on yet because i want to see what the scum sucking whoremongering fucktards at the White House are gonna do about their boy..or a patriotic theme..hence Red,White and Blue by Lynyard Skynard...lots to choose from..plus i just spent the last two hours watching GOLF and loading a file full of html for songs that i searched out..jesus...nothing like golf in scotland at 6am..on a Sunday..hey..its sports, so i am there of course..dont laugh..i know you are..

as a footnote..i blew my laptop up..well, not literally but its toast, i think the bitch overheated during the padres/dbacks game last night..goes to the shop later today..thank GOD for Extended Service Contracts..had to fire up the ol desktop..slow-assed bitch that she is..but she has a HUGE flat screen monitor..so there is an upside i guess..anyway..enjoy todays video..JOE BONAMASSA performing a Warren Haynes number called "If Heartaches were Nickles" :)

Fed's roll over and let the Balco Boyz cop a plea..

I am sure some folks are not into sports..but even on several different levels this story is important..The government spent literally millions of dollars..OUR dollars to bring these guys to trial..they had hundreds of man-hours put into the investigation just to BUILD a case not to mention a sitting grand jury spent alot of fucking time on the case before sending it for prosecution..JUST SO THE FUCKTARDS IN WASHINGTON COULD LET THE BASTARDS COP TO A DEAL..a deal which sees the prime fucktard get a whopping FOUR FUCKING MONTHS IN JAIL..AND..NO FURTHER CO-OPERATION WITH THE GOVERNMENT on any thing related to steroids..

there were 42..yes i said 42 fucking charges against Victor Conte Jr, the head jackass and owner of Balco..he plead guilty to a total of TWO FUCKING COUNT S: distribution of steroids and money laundering.. i do not blame Sticky Vicky for taking the deal, who the hell wouldnt for gods sake?

Besides the millions and millions of TAX dollars spent for apparently nothing, there are many of baseball and other sports superstars that now get to spend the rest of their careers and/or lives with a cloud over their collective heads about whether they took steroids to enhance their game..we will never hear in open court who did or did not take the drugs that were given to them by the half a dozen morons that were nailed in this investigation. This investigation and subsequent court case was a very expensive exercise in futility folks..brought to you by none other than..THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION..thanks boys..we really appreciate it..

the link to this horseshit is embedded in the title..

how does it feel to get beat 17-1 by the SOX TWICE.. ask the Yank$

just thought i would post a link to the NY Times article on Friday's game w/the bosox..

just a friendly reminder in the title that this score occured once already this season between these two stellar teams with Boston on the winning end BOTH times..the first occurance in yankee stadium no less on May 28th..Tonights debacle saw David "fatass" Wells get the win for boston..he has beaten the yanks twice this season..oh yeah..this just in..Wells called the Yanks GM prior to spring training to see if they would be interested in him..the rest as they say..is history..and a big Dating Game Kiss to yank$ GM Brian Cashman.thanks Bri..i am sure you understand how happy the padres are with the recent trade that gave us your "washed up" reliever Paul Quantrill and we gave you none other than Redding and May..two of the bozo's that just "shined" for the yanks tonite..lets see...is there anything else to say about this game? nah..

OH FOR GODS SAKE..WOULD YOU ADMIT TO THIS?

this guy is first and formost a fucking pussy..with a capital P..second...hes a fucking baby..third hes a fucktard just for admitting they hurt him enough to file charges..crybaby sumbitch..

the pic's of the dancers aren't too flattering..damn girls, ya couldnt spruce up a bit?

Strippers Busted In Birthday Bash
Trio arrested for rough whacking, whipping of party boy, 31 ..i love "the smoking gun" all the shit that is fit to print..or giggle about..

A picture is worth a thousand words..or at the very least one: FUCK

jesus christ in a thong..it was a lousy start to the second half of the season for the sawx..this is curt schilling..fucktard handed the game to the yank$

How Stella got her groove back..or..Terry McMillan is real pissed off..

Alrighty then...where shall we begin?
The author of the aforementioned book, which turned into a nice little movie with Angela Bassett and Taye Diggs, has filed for divorce from her former muse. Jonathan Plummer who's 23 years her junior says he recently went over to the other side and when he informed his wife of his homosexuality, she went..well to put it mildly..fucking bonkers.

Terry is an interesting writer, also penning "waiting to exhale"..i love her stuff..it gives me hope that i too will find some guy 20 years younger than moi and spend the rest of my life blissfully w/him..yeah its farfetched but its MY dream damn it. Anyways..she got a tad pissed and started tossing around the f word..and generally making his life a living hell..they HAVE a prenup however so i do not know why she is so pissed, other than the fact that she got tossed aside for a man..she got 6 and a half years with the dude..and as far as I am concerned..she's damn lucky to have gotten that..23 years is a big friggin spread..its a generation for gods sake. They are making the lawyers very rich men as we speak..er type..she's trying to cut him off at the knees and he is trying to break the prenup..The judge said she has to pay him alimony until they go back to court in October to the tune of $2K per month and $25K to his attorney..SEE, the fucking attorney is getting a bigger piece of poor ole Terry than HE is..Terry is old..shes now 52..and her soon to be ex is a mere 30.

Frankly I can not see why the older party gets all butt-hurt when these types of relationships end..can you? I mean..come on...did you think she was gonna play house with daddy forever? The walker would cramp her style gramps..get real..

Or in Terry's case..even if he did announce he was suddenly gay, why would you want to make it all public and shit..she's supposed to be a liberal, forward thinking person, is that a sham? Is she homophobic or just lashing out at him by calling him a fag?

All I can say is this..the bitch shouldnt be suprized one bit..and she should have the class to just wave the prenup and tell him adios with a little grace. Hey, if he was faking it girlfriend..he did it for almost seven years..and he serviced her "account" in the interim.

Two hot topics..Terrorists and the war in Iraq..

Bush lied his ever-lovin ass off to put Saddam out of business..fucktard should be drawn and quartered for it..that might be a tad harsh but this wasn't a little white lie..i only hope that we can eventually get the hell out of there and let them kill each other over their different religious beliefs which has been going on for CENTURYS folks in all parts of the planet earth and the middle east is a real good example of it, the history of the region is rife with holy wars. IF there is one thing that will keep people riled up for all eternity..it is GOD..the belief in or lack thereof..but with that said..i firmly believe you can not give in to terrorists, you must maintain a steadfast belief in what you are doing or the people you are trying to protect and/or free will lose hope. But we weren't protecting Iraq from a terrorist..we were protecting oil..black gold...Is Iraq better off than when saddam was in power? depends on who you ask i think..the mothers of Iraq might say no..the people in iraq who live daily without power or food or clean water will most likely say no..the politicians now in power in iraq will most obviously say yes..its not MY place to say if they are better off..it is my place to shout from the rafters about what i consider to be wrongdoings by the bush administration on behalf of an entire country who had NO voice or vote in what we did..the iraqi people..if Bush took all the billions and billions of our TAX dollars and revenue that he has spent in iraq and put it towards wiping out the pussy assed terriorists of Al-Qaida we might have made some headway by now..i think bush has his priorities screwed up and it pisses me off..what pisses me off more is the terrorists who keep innocent people in fear of walking out their front doors each and every day.a civil war is one thing..a small but spineless band of terrorists is entirely another thing..do i want to wipe out the terrorists who hide behind the cloak of religion? HELL YES..do i believe it will ever happen..sadly no..iraq will always and i mean always have civil unrest..as do many other 3rd world countries on the planet..we can not save them from themselves..after what the terrorists did to the United States on 9-11 i think we should hunt them down and kill them like the bullies and spineless fucktards they are..without an ounce of remorse for any of them..no trials, no easy quick death, just an eye for an eye. We didnt need the UN's ok to rampage in iraq, we sure as hell dont need them to ok going after the terrorists..terrorists go after "soft targets" those lousy bastards, public places where people who never did a fucking thing to them congregate..they take the easy way..they don't have the balls to go after the governments or those in power..which is who they rant and rail against..but as long as they can find stupid people who believe that blowing themselves and a bus load of total strangers to hell will make the world a better place AND get their ignorant ass's a place in heaven..nothing will change..its very hard to fight ignorance..and its a very delicate balancing act...and so far..no one has the answers on how to do it.. its been going on for hundreds of years..i see nothing on the horizen that is going to slow it down.

Put your money where your mouth is..so to speak..

Not that this will DO anything but here is my PSA(public service announcement) for the millennium..ok..for the week ..maybe..anyways, its from Sentor Leahy:

Earlier today, I met with the President, along with Senator Specter, Senator Reid, and Senator Frist, to discuss the vacancy at the Supreme Court. I delivered the simple message that Americans want cooperation, not confrontation -- and that we should work together to preserve the Supreme Court's vital role as a court for all Americans.
Join me in making clear that Americans want more than a rubber-stamp nomination. Sign the petition:
http://www.democracyforamerica.com/norubberstamps
I agreed wholeheartedly with Senator John Warner, Republican of Virginia, when he said: "[T]his nomination of the first Supreme Court justice by [President Bush] gives him an opportunity to be a uniter, not a divider, to bring forth someone that can proceed, much like the past 50 years, and to gain a large bipartisan vote, which will send a message to the American public that in these troubled times, we seek to bring together our citizens and not remain divided."
That process, however, must start with the President, and this decision is too important to all Americans for it to be treated as a divisive political campaign. The Supreme Court belongs to all Americans, not just one party or faction.
There are potential candidates who would unite Americans, and those who would divide us. Meaningful consultation is more than a rubber stamp. It means a real dialogue that can help the President find a good nominee who could have overwhelming bipartisan support. The President told us today that he's open to such a dialogue, and our meeting this morning was a beginning step.
Supreme Court justices, once confirmed, hold their jobs for life. Every new justice shapes the Court for years; their decisions affect the lives of all Americans for decades to come. Those facts make a Supreme Court nomination so important that I see it as a public duty to have a thorough, thoughtful process -- just as the nation had during the ten Supreme Court nomination hearings I've taken part in.
Help me send the message loud and clear -- we need a Supreme Court that respects the values of all Americans. We need a justice for all. Sign the petition today:

The freaking American League wins again..

bastards have won like 7 years in a row..i am sure a certain blogger..(john) will rub it in..

i have been playing in San Diego since friday..hence no blog entries..i had a marvelous time, and the weather was great..heard some good music and spent time with a few great friends..its always nice to see people you care about and i do not get to do it often enough..one special friend was working in town and it made my three day weekend even better than i thought possible..plus i got to introduce him to my other friends who really enjoyed his company as well. Some people just light up a room,making people laugh and smile.. and he is one of those.My YSFH(yuppie sista from hell) did NOT enjoy my company and I incurred her wrath, but i do not give a shit..it was a weekend for moi and i made the most of it..lots of laughing and drinking and story telling..hope it holds me over till the next time i go down san diego way...

Keep taking that lil blue pill and you WILL go blind

seems that there are two ways to go blind now..the one your mom told you about (haha) and now the makers of viagra and the rest of the ED drugs are admitting if you take their stuff long enough..you will go blind as well..nice huh? some guys just cant catch a break..

The hapless "Anti-All Star' Team

look..even if you DON'T like baseball this article is rich..by any standards. It gives us a look into the idiots that make a helluva lot of money playing a "game" ,boys and girls..with all the nasty things happening in the world a good laugh is important..some of these guys are downright pathetic..but if we can laugh, we are all right..unless your laughing that "rainman" laugh..then your in trouble..

the link to the story is embedded in the title..the pic is of CRYBABY Brett Boone who just got cut loose from the Mariners..but the fucktard still gets paid his millions and can now play golf for the rest of the season..on the M's!

Yanks and Red Sox..lets compare shall we?

lets start out by comparing placement within the division..Yank$ in 3rd, Beantown in 1st. Home records: Yank$ 25-18, Bosox 24-14. Road Records: Yank$ 17-21, Bosox 22-21. Within their own division(AL EAST): Yank$ 13-20, Bosox 16-18. Against the AL Central: Yank$ 6-6, Bosox 7-3. AL West Record: Yank$ 12-6 Bosox 11-8.

The last ten games they are identical with a record of 5-5.

Day Games: Yank$14-13, Boston 7-9. Night games: Yank$ 28-26, Boston 29-26. Games on Grass(i assume they mean played on grass, not the players being stoned)Yank$ 38-34, Boston 44-28. One Run Games: Yank$ 8-6, Boston 11-8.

There isn't alot of difference between the two teams but Boston does hold a slim margin in the majority of the stats..Its a marathon ..not a sprint..

NYC Kid killed for an IPOD

this article is a real buzzkill but it bothered the hell out of me..IPODS run from $99-$400, and it doesnt say which one the poor kid was wearing when the little thugs came after them. Reminds me of when my son was young and begged me NOT to buy him expensive sneekers saying kids were being beaten up for their friggin shoes..My only hope is that this kid gets what he deserves and doesnt get off like the little fat prick in Florida that killed his cousin..everyone felt so sorry for the lil bastard..he got off and is now in jail for something else again..robbery i think..keep them in jail for all eternity please..they will be career criminals if they can kill someone for a fucking MP3 player at the ripe old age of 16. The link to the NY Times article is in the title.

See? The world does revolve around baseball

The baseball universe..its a cool picture dont cha think? I would like to find a way to make this my background on my blog..anyone got any ideas to help a sista out?

I broke down and purchased MLB TV..for my computer..

so i will be nonexistant blogwise till tuesday at the earliest...this rocks..i get to see boston today then my beloved pads and later the dbacks/dodgers extravaganza..if i see the yank$ are getting an assbeating i can tune in now john..hahaha....sorry couldnt resist dude..also B and alice.....i can watch edmonds get a k every three at bats.. :)

15 small ones a month aint shit ya know? not for happiness..

A precious quote from the blog of John Q. Public

You DO NOT have to be a male to participate:
The difference between "guts" and "balls"... Guts - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: "Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?" Balls - is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the ass and having the balls to say, "You're next. "

I don't know..I just like it..

Sandra Day O'Connor hangs up her robe...for the last time.

When they placed her in that robe, i was worried..i thought..a woman that is conservative, she will wreak more havoc than the males..but she surprized me alot more than i gave her credit for..she was the voice of reason at times..always the swing vote and you were never really sure which way she would go on some cases..but hey..shes getting out while she can still walk and talk which is more than you can say for most of the males that are on the supreme court, most of em have to be escorted out, they refuse to give up the power..i just do not relish who Bush will put in office..the sumbitch probably came all over himself when he heard the news..i assume of course that he is a premature ejaculator..wouldnt you? I mean he really looks like one..those beady little eyes..the way he speaks...god what are we in for now??? Roe v. Wade is in dire straits...it's the bible bangers biggest cause this side of Terry Schiavo...the number one priority of the far right is overturning the women's right to choose...be afraid..be very afraid...

A link to the NY Times article about her tenure is embedded in the title. It is a very nice synopsis of her career as the FWOTSC(first woman of the supreme court) as she called herself.

A Conversation about Personal Care Products with the b&c..

ok...it starts out like this..
b&c: Why do you have so much shit on the shower ledge? Brian and I use two things each, you got like 20 up there..you dont use them all move em out or I toss them..

moi: touch them and you die a slow painful death nimrod..i paid alot of money for that stuff.

b&c: I dont care what you paid for the stuff, its hogging all the shelf space and we cant get to our stuff. I get tired of knocking your shit off when i go to reach for my shampoo. Show me what you use...
(we walk into the bathroom and open the shower)
moi: OK...this shampoo is for those days when my hair is dry and crackely..this one is for when my hair is oily, this one is for extra moisture, this one is for...
b&c: wait..your hair must not get oily often, the bottle has dust on it..
moi: well, it doesnt get oily that often cuz my hair tends to be dry and frizzy thanks to that shitty perm i got. Ok, we can put that one in the cabinet..
b&c: Now why the hell do you have so many conditioners?
moi: Sometimes I need intensive conditioning, other times I need regular conditioning and sometimes I need to stand there for a fucking half hour and condition the shit out of it..we arent relocating ANY of the conditioners pal..get used to it..
b&c: call me pal again and I am gonna knock your ass into next week..I am just trying to clean out some of this shit I KNOW you dont use dammit..
moi:your fat ass couldnt knock me into tomorrow pal..you get winded wiping your ass..i use all these products at some point in the month..
b&c: anyone ever tell you your a mean ass ol woman?
moi: besides you? no...
b&c..i know you do not need three different body washes..
moi: yes i do..they are all for different things..this one is an exfoliant, this one is lavendar for when you stress me out, this one is a moisturizer for when i look like ...
b&c: cant you keep them in the cabinet and pull them out when you need them?
moi: no..i am not always sure what i need, and i dont want to be hopping in and out of the shower jackass..then you bitch that the floor is wet.
b&c: all we got rid of is one..we need to put more of them in the cabinet...
moi: aint gonna happen fatman..deal with it..
b&c: god your a mean ass..can you say anything nice?
moi: your attacking my personal care products..i need those things..i am old and falling apart..please dont mess w/them..ok?
b&c: since you asked nicely..they can stay..
moi: thanks fucktard, i gotta get moving, get out so i can take a shower..
b&c: which ones are you gonna use this morning?
moi:I dont know should i keep a log for gods sake?
b&c(grumbling as he exits the bathroom):you dont use half that shit and i know it..

why dont men understand?

In the Nation's Capital, Baseball and Politics are one in the same...

This story has two of my favorite topics..politics and baseball...only thing is..those two should NEVER be in the same sentence...never..they should have nothing to do w/each other..but they do in DC...which is so wrong on many levels...those fucktards in charge, namely the Repub's are at it again folks..making threats to Major League Baseball, who owns the Washington Nationals..aka the Gnats...telling them whom they can or cannot sell the team to, or at least trying like hell..I am not saying the minority ownerMr. Soros, that the article speaks about is a great choice..but he IS a minority owner and christ, lots of baseball owners are thugs in every sense of the word, I mean..really...he wants to legalize medicinal pot..big fucking deal...I think they hate that he contributed 5 MIL to defeat bush more, but who can say for sure..the link is embedded in the title..there is a test later..

Thought for today...

There are no secrets, only information you don't yet have...

And finally answer this question: What five things do you miss about your childhood.
1. The house we lived in on the mouth of the Susquehanna River in upper Maryland. I went to a two room schoolhouse, we lived in a very rural area and I was between the ages of 5-7.
2.My horse I had for a very short time. He was an appy named Chester and he was a gelding. I didnt own a saddle so if i couldnt borrow one i rode bareback. My dad sold him and kept the cash. He was given to me by an elderly neighbor who i used to excercise him for.
3.My summers at my paternal grandparents.
4.Listening to baseball games on the radio with my paternal grandfather.
5.I became an adult at 7 so basically i miss my childhood between the ages of 5-7 when i played as a child and dreamed as a child.

Here is Leroy, in his favorite sleeping spot..i do not have the heart to throw it away...to the consternation of the ball and chain.. 

This is Patty..she is obviously very tired from playing...I think she looks like a friggin hamster in this picture..cept them big ears.. 

Widen your vocabulary 101:Fucktard

I have become aware of a new word circulating in the blog world and probably the REAL world as well...FUCKTARD....The word is so much more politically correct than say, oh i don't know..ok i DO know..retard..which has the ability to offend intelligent people and rightfully so in some circumstances..fucktard is of course derived from the word retard but it goes down easier than retard..but it makes the same point which is fantastic..someone is a worthless, mind-numbingly pathetic piece of dog excrement. The word fucktard can be used in as many forms as retard too..when your loved one pulls a real bone head move and sheepishly looks at you knowing full well you are aware of what he/she just did..thats a fucktard..when your forced to deal with individuals whose group IQ is equivalent to a used orange peel...those are fucktards...I am sure most of you are following my line of thinking here..if your not, then you must live in bakersfrigginfield....but anyway. i always appreciate a new word for my limited vocabulary..fucknut is one of my favorites, assclown a close second..I think fucktard is going to break out of the gate in first, like a good single on the charts..

Baseball News

The yank$ avoided their first ever sweep at the hands of the OTHER NY team the mets tonight..by none other than Jason "roid boy" Giambi..hey..even a blind squirrel finds the occasional nut ya'll...so lets start with the AL East..

The Boston Red Sox, john's favorite target, are now leading their division which by the way is the same division as the yank$..their lead is 3.5 games over the Orioles..poor birds..they have tanked horribly..but i warned you they were not for real sportsfans..

The AL Comedy Central is still being led by the Chicago White Sox..by 9.5 games..they did lose to the Cubbies today, Prior took the mound for the cubbies after his second stint on the Disabled List this young season...

The AL West is still Angels territory. The Anaheim/LA/Cali boys swept the hated Dodgers this weekend..thanks boyz..i appreciated it..the Texas Rangers lost a little ground in their bid to take over first, they are now 6.5 games back. Good thing our girl Daisy is out of the country, her beloved Kenny Rogers got rocked this week. 2 of the 4 teams are still playing less than stellar baseball and are below .500 in wins..although the A's did sweep the Giants this weekend i think..

The National League East finds the Washington Gnats still in first but the Braves who are being led by that geriatric ol fart Bobby Cox have won 9 of their last 10 games and are closing in fast on the Nats and/or Gnats...maybe Bobby is taking the new experimental drug they are testing for alzheimers patients..we can only hope sportsfans..

The NL Comedy Central still has those birds in St. Louis on top, the Cardinals..this sucky division still has 4 of the 6 teams playing disgusting ball, under .500 which means my 21 year old neice can probably hit better than most of those overpaid fucktards on the Brewers, Pirates, Astros and Reds.

Last but certainly not least we have the NL West...Padres are still atop the division by a slim margin of 3.5 games over the Diamondbacks..the hated Dodgers are reeling from the cornholing they received at the hands of the Angels this weekend..sweeps are such fun when the dodgers are the team being swept...makes me just want to jump up and rub it in the ball and chains face soooooooo bad...but i wont..he's not feeling well this evening..

The All Star game will be held July 14th..the voting as usual is so far off base ..its a bigname vs. deserving player thing. Fans do not have a clue when it comes to voting for the teams in both divisions..they seem to go on name recognition only..thats the only way that fairy Mike Piazza could make it into the All Star game..he is SO NOT the best catcher for the National League this year..he isnt even close for gods sake..Carlos Beltran doesn't deserve a nod either but hes got the most votes so he's going..fucker..And Scott Rolen for the cards should be sitting at home watching too because he just spent like a freaking month on the DL..but NOOOOOO the fans voted his happy ass in also..the game is in an American League Park this year..and remember folks..this one is important..at least it is according to that fucktard of mythic purportions..Buddy boy Selig..

We leave for home tomorrow morning..its been fun in Vegas for three days but I have to get home to the herd of animals currently taking my name in vain since my son is NOT giving them treats or canned food..evidently its way too much work to use the electric can opener...

Republicans taking a shot at the Endangered Species Act..again..

Alrighty..yes I could be considered a "tree hugger"..so lets get that out of the way first..surely it colors my view of the world and its inhabitants..with that said I would like to point you to a recent article in, what else, the NY Times regarding the Bushies and their attempt to weaken the Endangered Species Act. The Bushies have already been systematcally tearing apart the Clean Air and Water Act, so much in fact that the courts have had to step in and slap the bastards on the wrists with a ruler on several occasions...the one thing that the Bushies and NO one else can change is this..once its gone..its gone forever...a plant, a habitat and species..those things can not be undone when they are gone from the face of the earth..that is why i say err on the side of protecting them..you can build your friggin houses down the road in the next county, you can drill for your oil a few miles down the latitude and longitude lines..i use the universal 'YOUR"only for arguement purposes..big business is the major whiner when it comes to preserving animals or habitats for them. If we lived in a country like Japan where they live in tiny boxes because they have run out of room then perhaps there would be a need to reconsider our options..but we dont..and even japan has a certain level of preservation of animal species and/or habitats..i am not really well versed on japan so I do not want to expound on them any further..i just feel the need to vent about the Bush Administrations' efforts to change laws that are effective merely for the purpose of serving big business interests..yes i think the "economic impact" arguement should be considered but as in all things, emotional issues will cloud even the most simplistic needs..if you cut away the bullshit and the rhetoric, the bottom line is..do we take care of the planet first or do we give in to the greedy self serving interests of big business and change the ecosystem forever for a particular species which has very little left in the way of options..both sides of this arguement are vocal and logical for the most part..it just depends on who's logic you believe...its like a statistical analysis class..statistics can be bent to show anyones point if your good enough at doing it..just remember this one thought..Bush's administration in a recent court challenge to their wholesale slaughter of some large plot of land,attempted to call a "dam" a natural part of the landscape..i shit you not..they did..all i can say is this..Only if the fucking beavers built it assholes..
The link as per usual is embedded in the title of the post..enjoy..

Ah Vegas....

I was SO looking forward to this trip, I had worked my ass off the prior week which is so totally unlike my lazy self...my back was killing me, my asthma was acting up i was generally falling a-fucking-part..

There are 14 wildfires currently burning in this part of the state...the smoke is so thick it looks like fog. It smells like a fucking BBQ everytime you go outside cuz a shitload of mesquite is burning out there in the friggin desert. This kinda wreaks havoc on my already irritated lungs..

This is the ONLY place I wear a robe this time of year because the ball and chain keeps the room cold enough to hang MEAT in it. I woke up at 5 fucking 30 because my nose was freezing..it was the only exposed part of my body, the rest was huddled under the covers. I turn the temp UP to 65 and the fan on low...just cuz its free doesnt mean you have to use the shit out of it i have tried to explain to the b&c..The humidity is so low, around 8%, that my hair looks like a friggin fright wig and I think I saw a couple of small children pointing at me and grabbing their mothers in terror....I am constantly putting lip balm on and my skin resembles alligator hide unless I lather on half a bottle of body lotion every 2 hours. The toilet paper in this fucking room is rough..i think you could use it in place of 40 grit sandpaper to take off old varnish on your favorite antique table..

Now..normal people just might be wondering..why is this bitch on the INTERNET in vegas??? Thats a very easy explanation..I come here very often and gambling is not that big of a deal to me plus I now haul water instead of alcohol in the cooler since I am old, fat and not in the best of health for the most part...its a bitch getting old...Reallly though I come over for the music and this trip was no exception..Eric Johnson and THE Buddy Guy were fantastic and worth every red cent I paid for that overpriced ticket. Oh yeah...JOHN...I NOW HAVE A BUDDY GUY T-SHIRT TOO..NEENER NEENER..and I did have "somewhat" of a buzz when I called you during that ridiculous Yank/Mets game..hahaha..PEDRO won..and i know you are SO hating that fact.. :)

Now I also need to be able to set my lineups for my 13 fantasy baseball teams..this might seem a tad overkill to most folks..13 teams is alot of work, but its my hobby and fuck anyone that doesnt understand my obsession with fantasy sports..I play the odds that with that many teams I should be able to come away with at least ONE fucking championship..to prove my prowess and knowledge is on the same level as most of the men I know regarding all things sports..well..its not quite working out as I had planned...

At least half my baseball teams are at or hovering around the bottom of the standings..this in and of itself is fodder for endless amounts of ribbing for most of the people I play against. I have been playing against these people for about six years and I know most of them fairly well. We talk major shit on the message boards in alot of the leagues..and since I AM a bitch I have no problem shooting off my mouth at the beginning of the season. So, basically I am the "village idiot" in most circles this season..oh well, such is life..

So thats how my grand weekend is going..its a weekend away from the "kids" and yes Alice i have a babysitter for them, its called MY SON, but since hes a self-centered jackass there is a backup babysitter one of my neighbors that understands my attachment to all my animals..i do miss the kittens though..but not THAT bad..i call brian at least twice a day to ask if he's fed them and to make sure they are all accounted for.. I get to drink all the Grey Goose I want for free, I can watch ANY sporting event I choose since we know all the bartenders and its a great people-watching excursion..not bad i would say...it beats sitting at home any day...

Off to see Buddy Guy in Vegas..

We leave in about an hour..so why am i online? The b&c thinks i am writing a report..and this way I get HIM to clean all the cat boxes..nice huh?

see you guys monday evening..have fun, safe sex and above all else, keep an eye on John for moi..that man can get into trouble easier than anyone I know..(wink wink)

Blog o' the day...

I love kitten, she's bright, funny and an animal lover..check out her blog if your so inclined..the post about buying the house is a goodie..and the reprint dated friday june 17th is hysterical..

The Care and Feeding of 12 animals..a how-to manual..

Doesn't matter if I am working or not, my day starts at 5:45 am..some animal has to go out and pee..usually its one of two dogs..Sasha or Baby. Nicky the cranky poodle can hold it longer than any dog i have ever known. Sasha is the hyper we-dont-know-what-the-hell-kinda dog she is that usually wakes me..she does try to wake the b&c..i have seen her try but he is oblivious to the world..someone could fudge pack that sumbitch and he wouldnt wake up..anyways..ALL 8 inside and 4 outside animals are on red alert soon as they hear my voice and/or morning cough...for the only thing that matters this side of kisses and hugs..FOOD..

So i let two of the three dogs out..Tabby, an orange feral male i have been caring for since he was a tiny kitten is sitting on the front steps waiting for me..he stretches and yawns..guess he sleeps there. He is the 0nly remaining member of an original group of four kittens..i go rustle up some dry food for him and put it in his bowl..if I am feeling really magnanimous which i usually do, he gets some canned food..my dogs dont bother him and he doesn't pay attention to them. He lets me get within a foot of him now..its taken over a year for him to trust me that much..which is fine by me..the more he fears people the longer he will make it in this world..we got some real assholes in this neighborhood that kill ferals for fun..yeah..such a sporting thing to do ya fuckers..anyways..the kittens are up now and sitting around my feet looking up and squeeking..they dont meow yet..they squeek..its funny even at 6am..they sound like fucking little plastic toys i used to have for my son's bathtime when he was a wee lad...the dogs take their time peeing..i have to bellow at them to get in the house..i got kids to feed..they file in past Tabby whos still knoshing on the front steps..

Baby and Sasha both step on the three kittens who havent learned yet that when the dogs thunder back into the house, they dont look where they are going..the two older cats, Clyde the siamese and Scooter the siamese mix both know better and they are sitting in the "cat"chair..its a huge old lounger that has seen better days and now serves the purpose of providing a large scratching post and jungle gym for the house cats..people that come over know not to sit in it..or your friggin ass will be covered in cat hair..i mean covered..i am not the worlds best housekeeper so it gets cleaned maybe annually..nah..bi-annually..oh who cares..

I watch were I walk and lead the herd into the kitchen..now all 8 start either dancing around(the dogs)or meowing/squeeking ..scooter always tries to help me open the cans by hanging off the sink ledge by his claws and looking at me with his huge round blue eyes..sky blue..beautiful eyes..clyde is sitting in the background, he knows i will feed the kittens first and then him and scooter..the dogs get a biscuit to hold them over for five fucking minutes..they go out to the living room to eat their treats.. the kittens shadow my every move so if i manage to make it to the trash can and back without stepping on one its a miracle..i put out some canned food for the kittens and they attack it like they havent eaten in days..finally they are off my ass.
Then i open a can of tuna..not cat tuna..people tuna..the two grown cats, clyde and scooter will not lower themselves to eat cat food, its beneath them apparently..bastards will not shut the hell up until they get a spoonful of tuna in the morning...they also have to be fed in my bedroom since the kittens are wise to the tuna and will blow off the canned cat food for the finer cuts of people tuna..
As I take the tuna into the bedroom, I stop by the laundry room,were all the dry food is kept..I grab the dry catfood scoop, fill it and fill the bowls in my bedroom for the finicky adult felines, then i juggle the dog food scoop to take it back up t0 the living room where the dogs eat..nicky the fat cranky poodle eats expensive diet food, bitch has been eating it for three years and hasn't lost a fucking ounce. The other two dogs eat Ol Roy, a wally world brand. I bitch to myself about feeding so many worthless animals and perform a balancing act with the various scoops of pet food placing the correct food in the correct bowls..only ones left to feed are the parents of the three kittens..Bubba and Jackie the one eyed orange tabby mommie..they reside in the backyard along with Simone a beautiful blue point siamese that was born feral and inspite of my efforts to get close to her, she remains untrusting and aloof..gee, it couldnt be because the guys over in the cabinet shop filled her left hindquarter with bb's one afternoon...she still has a limp from that lovely altercation..Bubba was someones pet that was tossed aside, probably because the assholes didnt get him nuetered and he started spraying all over the place..Bubba talks to me the whole time I am outside..he loves when i take the time to sit and stroke his matted fur or pull stickers out of him..he's a sweet boy and huge but skinny as a rail..he keeps the other males out of the yards..he is the self appointed security guard for the two females, Simone and Jackie..there is a hiearchy among them all..and since Simon was killed last fall, Bubba is the top cat. He gets to eat before any one else, then the rest take their turns at the remaining canned food..if they dont get full then they visit the dry food bowl..

I finally get to sit down at my computer, the b&c still snoring loud enough to wake the dead..I finish this stupid post, and check my emails.I figure I will go to work early but very seldom do I get out of the house before 9am..ask me if i care...i watch the ferals clean themselves and then play and lounge in the morning sun which is now hitting the backyard and also the "cathouse" my son built for them when he got tired of my incessant whining...everyone is fed and happy, the kittens start playing with each other and Sasha the crackhead attempts to play with them too..the kittens check all the foodbowls to see if anyone left them any morsels..they didnt of course..we do this whole dance again at 6 pm..gee, i cant wait..

Bush and Bolton what a pair

(Pic courtesy of john and cross bone productions)
The idiot in the whitehouse is really pushing his luck..he wants the jackass Bolton to head our group at the UN..the guy(bolton) is a genuine, class a,overbearing original freak and all around fucking paranoid power hungry sumbitch.. other than that he really knows how to win friends and influence people...bolton i mean..bush is just the village idiot.. to get the latest horseshit on this fiasco please click on the link in the title.

Sasha and Bobbie..so innocent..of course they are..their sleeping for christ's sake..Sasha was a crackbaby..we are convinced of that fact and Bobbie's idea of fun is grabbing your ankle as you walk by and biting the shit out of it.

How sweet, we made the National page in the NY Times

Not that its a nice article..personally I think the jackass's spent way too much money on manpower and shit..i mean it sounds like overkill and a waste of massive amounts of money to me when you need 1,300 federal and local police officers and nine helicopters. The raids, which were based on 43 search warrants, began at 3:30 a.m...I think even the gangbangers are sleeping usually at 3am...dont you? I love this soundbite:"We have effectively crippled the gang and put it out of business," said Debra Wong Yang, the United States attorney for the Central District of California. Is this bitch delusional?They only got 23 guys for gods sake.. The feds are using the RICO act to go after these guys..I hope they put the lil fucknuts away for a long time..that way they can corrupt the inside of the prisons instead of the outside..where us good folks live...For a look into the gang life in LA and how they dont give a rats ass about going to prison I would like to suggest a movie entitled "American Me" with Edward James Olmos. Its graphic and violent but its a very realistic look at gangs in southern cali..i have spent time in that enviornment and it was scary and interesting as hell all at the same time..i just kept my mouth shut and smiled alot.

Summer Solstice..lets celebrate!

To go the site that has this wealth of info click the title of the post :)

In the northern hemisphere, the longest day of the year (near June 22) when the Sun is farthest north. In the southern hemisphere, winter and summer solstices are exchanged. The summer solstice marks the first day of the season of summer. The declination of the Sun on the (northern) summer solstice is known as the tropic of cancer (23° 27').
The summer solstice is the longest day of the year, respectively, in the sense that the length of time elapsed between sunrise and sunset on this day is a maximum for the year. Of course, daylight saving time means that the first Sunday in April has 23 hours and the last Sunday in October has 25 hours, but these human meddlings with the calendar and do not correspond to the actual number of daylight hours. In Chicago, there are 15:02 hours of daylight on the summer solstice of June 21, 1999.
Here is a QuickTime movie illustrating the tilt of the Earth's equatorial plane relative to the Sun which is responsible for the seasons. The dates of maximum tilt of the Earth's equator correspond to the summer solstice and winter solstice, and the dates of zero tilt to the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox.

Click here,You have got to read Ms. Fabulous' most recent post..

I swear to god i almost died laughing..thats because i choked on my fucking water whilst reading it..its entitled:Ian the Pornographic Yoda with Oranges, Bananas and Prunes

funniest stuff i read all day..and thats all i have done all day folks..read blogs..fuck the world, i took the day off..

Now for something funny...

I got the annual letter from the State of Cali tax board..in it is all my rights as a taxpayer..oh..and a bill for 11 grand..actually $11,356.43

these are for taxes they say I owe from 1991,92,93,94 and last but not least 2001. the majority of the bill is penalties...the actual amount owed is roughly 4 grand..this is from when i waitressed at the previously mentioned sportsbar by the sea..except the 2001 debt..that is the last time I worked a real job 40 hours a week. If I had filed my taxes I would of received a refund..but i didnt for whatever reasons...yet they are kind enough to send me a bill every so often that includes my rights as a taxpayer..sweet people those taxmen and women..hope they arent holding their collective breath waiting for the money..someones gonna turn blue and die..

The MEN in my life..I use that term loosely mind you...

This post is in purple because its my favorite color..no deep meanings there..i just wanted to share..

I have been married four times..that includes the current spouse usually referred to as the Ball&Chain or b&c for short. I was married to one flake twice..my son's biological father..we call him the biological father cuz the muthafucka was never ever a father figure or a father period..giving sperm does not make you a father and the method doesnt matter. He was always the love of my life until he tossed me out for the last time saying and I quote:"I don't want a babysitter anymore, I want to do whatever the fuck I want. If that means drink myself to death so be it, but you need to go back to San Diego, call your sister NOW". I remember the quote like he said it to me yesterday, when in fact he said it to me over four years ago. I am so fucking glad he said it to me cuz i do not think I would of left on my own. I tried for years and years to help him overcome his alcoholism and failed..but I didnt fail..he did..i have to keep telling myself that. He was the nicest guy on the face of the earth when he was sober..the meanest drunk you ever met when he was..well, drunk. His name was Bruce..there is a theme here in that name..I use the past tense "WAS" since i have no clue if he is still alive. He contacted me about two years ago, my stupid sista gave him my home number just to get him to quit calling her house and leaving sorrowful messages for moi. I told him I was remarried and to leave me alone for all eternity..he had his shot..twice even..oh, and I thanked him for kicking me out that final time..the drunk was husband's number two and three. I wish I could of saved him from himself but I couldnt..took me a long fucking time to figure that one out.

The first husband was a nice guy named Bruce as well. He married me when I was 19 and he was 32. I loved him with all my heart and soul. We were together for 7 years. He loved to smoke Pot. He smoked about 10 joints a day..i shit you not..he would sit in his lounger each night and roll 10 doobies for the next day. The man was sweet and non-violent. And those doobies were big sumbitches..not small petite ones..as we got older I found I did not like to sit at home and zone out to TV each and every fucking night so I moved back to San Diego and moved in with my mom and dad..that was a thrill folks..I lasted two weeks at their house and moved in with a bunch of friends totalling five that lived in a one bedroom apartment. We would fight over floor space nightly so I got a place with one of them within the month. Bruce#1 and I stayed very close inspite of the differences, he would come to San Diego two weekends a month and "service my account". I loved him for that, it made the transistion easier i think. He stopped coming to town when I met Bruce#2. Bruce #1 was a great friend and confidant but the age difference caught up w/us. Its hard to live with someone who has already enjoyed being young when YOUR in that phase and the highlight of the evening is picking which sitcom to watch. I never stopped loving him but I wanted to experience life. I made the poor man move from San Diego to Boston and then to Arizona, all in a 7 year time frame..he was patient and good to me, never ever thumping on me or going off on me. I think of him on occasion and it makes me smile. He never cut his hair after he got out of the Air Force. Boy that shit was long! He was Portuguese and had the most beautiful smile and bright shiny eyes..his eyes were prolly shiny only cuz the sumbitch smoked so much pot, but I still loved looking into them.

I took a hiatus from relationships after Bruce#2 the first go around. I concentrated on getting a decent job ,making money and raising my son alone..its all i did for the most part, i had very few friends. I left him in Virginia and drove back to San Diego with my son who was 8 at the time. We didnt make it out of the state before my car blew up..literally. We moved in with my EX in-laws for a month till I could afford to purchase another piece of shit car to make the long trek back to the land of Cali. That buick made it to San Diego and promptly died. as it should be i guess..it did what I wanted which was get me the hell back to the left coast and hopefully some normalcy. Wrong was I..there is no normalcy in the world anymore..i am convinced of that..anyway..I refused to get involved with any man because my son was so desperate for a father figure he would latch on to any guy I was seeing even casually. I raised the little house ape alone and did a pretty good job of it until...

My son's name is Brian, he is 25,tall and handsome like his father. He also has a problem with alcohol like his sperm-donor father. He is also a mean drunk. We shall speak more of that later..my son was a fine child, getting A's in school and never making life difficult until he reached the age of 12..then all hell broke loose. The kid might look like his father but he has my temperment, poor kid. I was working 10 or more hours a day and he was a latch key kid. He is very intelligent, always tested in the 90 percentile range. He would never apply himself after he reached 12. He thought me and the world owed him something and he was gonna collect. I had to spend the next two years of our lives bailing him out of jail, out of problems at school and report him as a runaway ever other week. The topper was when I found a room-full of "white out" that he had been huffing. This all came about when he passed out in class and peed all over himself after huffing a can of computer cleaner in the back of a geography class. I turned into a warden at this point in my life, determined to get his head out of his ass and make him a decent member of society. I moved us to a top flight neighborhood, bought a condo down the street from my mom and went so far into debt trying to right his ship that I almost committed suicide twice. The kid just would not reform, in fact he got worse. He tried to burn my condo down once and took an exacto knife to all my worldly belongings..he never went to school, he made up stories for the shrink I was paying out the ass to take him to every week and generally became a loser extraordinare. I sent him to a ranch for Fuck-ups in northern LA county. That cost me $300 a month and he didnt last a year. He got tossed out for having a gun. They kinda frown on that shit. I still dont know where he got the gun and i dont really care anymore. At this point a sane person might get some professional help, but I couldnt afford it..I was tapped out. The condo was costing me an arm and leg, the lawyer bills for his previous bullshit were breaking the bank and on top of that someone stole my checks and wrote about 3K in hot checks before I knew what hit me.The bank refuesed to give me back my money so I did what any normal person would..I snapped..I sold my condo for nothing, I told the bank, the laywers and the creditors to all kiss my ass and I moved myself the the devil child to Georgia. A friend lived there and said the schools didnt take kindly to kids like him and would fix his ass good.Plus, the state of GA. expects children to behave like children and they actually put them in juvenile hall if they are chronic fuckups like brian.Cali never once made him accountable for his actions, just putting it off on me, the single parent without a support group of friends and family. So we moved to GA. That lasted less than three months. I found a killer job I loved, running a construction business. I had a feeling things were going to change for the better....WRONG...the kid took my bank card and cleaned me out..to the tune of $2k..he then took my car during a driving rain storm and promptly totaled it less than four blocks away. He took off and was gone...the cops said there was nothing they could do if they couldnt find him..I had no car to go to work, I had no money to pay my rent and I was sick of worry about that fucking kid..I waited a week in the apartment for him to come back. I lost my job cuz i couldnt get to my job. I sat in my apartment and contemplated suicide..i even got in the tub with a razor blade and tried like hell to slit my wrists..i just couldnt do it, which really pissed me off folks..

I broke down and called my sista..the one that always takes me in when I am running from something or someone. She paid for my plane ticket home and put me up for quite awhile. I removed my head from my ass and got on with life. I went back to my old job and made lots of money. I did not know if my son was dead or alive for six months until one day I got a call at work. It was a police officer from Georgia saying they had my son in custody. He was arrested for breaking into a house and stealing a gun collection. The cop wanted to know when I was gonna come out there and get my kid since he was under age and all would be forgiven if I just took him back w/me to Cali..LMAO..i know my rights as a parent and if your child is picked up commiting a crime you can tell them to fuck off..so i did...they tried to scare me into coming out there and it didnt work. I talked to a shrink and a lawyer and both said I did what I could and now it was time for this kid to pay the piper. He did time in juvenile hall and then was put into the system as a ward of the court. He went from home to home, always refusing to talk to me..afterall..i fucked HIM over by not bailing him out of that nasty little mess with the guns..it broke my heart that he could not see the error of his ways and talk to me. I wanted him back but i knew he had to deal with this shit alone..I am an enabler and I would of been no help to him.He didnt speak to me for two years. I became a drunk and quit my high paying job and became a waitress in a sportsbar at the beach..I didnt have to think, i didnt have to do shit unless I wanted to..I started to enjoy my life and the freedom that I had never expierienced before since I was always someones mom, sister, wife,maid or general doormat. I loved my life even if I did drink too much. I was not hurting anyone but myself and it really didnt hurt a bit...well it did screw the hell out of my liver..oh well a small price to pay for freedom..life was good...until...

Bruce#2 hunted me down again...and since I was a drunk i figured what the hell, lets be drunk together, maybe we can make it work this time. I let him back into my life..wrong move bozo.....but I must say it did make me straighten out MY life and become a functioning member of society again.. I felt the urge to move so we went to Arizona..I got a nice apartment, I told the ol man he could just be a househusband and try to stay sober..he couldnt of course..then the kid deceided it was time to try and make it work as a family..he was actually very happy that me and Bruce#2 had gotten back together..maybe daddy will be a daddy this time around..nope;..didnt happen..the kid ended up knocking the living shit out of daddy one night when he went after me for pouring his booze down the drain. Shortly thereafter I went back to San Diego and the sister that always takes me in..god bless her..i love that bitch w/every fiber of my being..too bad we can only get along for 48 hours at a time..both of us are type-A type assholes..

So, the kid followed me to San Diego and took his fathers place as the mean drunk in my life,not working and being a general blight on me and society..I was losing my sanity again when the B&C came into my life..I took him up on his offer to move to Bakersfrigginfield and let him support me and coddle me and do whatever the fuck i wanted for the rest of my life..the b&c didnt promise to give me sex and I should of been aware of that fact prior to moving in but I wasn't. The b&c is a good man but we have very little in common. He loves country music,, and i hate that shit. His idea of a good time is watching 40 year old cowboy movies..the b&c is a diabetic with highblood pressure, hes 10 years older than I and he cant walk to the fucking fridge without getting winded. He lets me do anything my little heart desires, even if its bad for me. He never tells me no cuz then i would lose it and he hates when i start yelling..everyone including the animals hate when I start yelling..every living thing leaves the room when I start yelling. its not a pretty site..Anyways.the kid from hell moved back to AZ after I bailed on him in San DIego. he promptly found out that life on your own sucks donkey balls cuz you cant party all the time AND keep a roof over your head and food in the house..he slit his wrists and ended up in the psych ward two days before Thanksgiving two years ago. I spent thanksgiving day driving to AZ and dragging his worthless ass back to bakerfrigginfield. I laid down the law prior to taking him out of the nut ward. I told him he will work a job and pay rent, he will move out after six months and get a place of his own..well two out of three aint bad..he still lives with us the little prick. He got a job he likes for the first time in his young life and he has worked for two years straight..hes a plumber in new housing construction. All those office jobs I got him never worked out..guess hes an outdoors manual labor type..

I met Bruce#3 online..in a baseball chat room. I love baseball..b as we shall call, him is a sweet soul that has a big fucking chip on his shoulder because of the cards he was delt in life..oh..hes also a manic Cardinals fan..nice play on words eh? I want to leave the b&c and try life with b..but its not working out that way for some reason..mainly because I can not bring myself to leave the b&c. The man saved me from myself and/or certain death. He is a sweet-natured man that loves me more than anyone ever has..he doesnt ask for much in return,just dinner on the table each night and watching tv with him..usually sports cuz i wont watch 40 year old fucking cowboy movies..he fixes my screwups and loves my son like he is his own. My son gave him TWO fathers day cards..one was hysterically funny the other was sweet and sincere. My son told him in the sweet card that the b&c taught him how to be a man, and I believe this to be true since the kid has finally amounted to something and quit drinking..over eight months now..he smokes a helluva lot of pot but who cares..he goes to work each day and pays his bills..when he finally get s out on his own I am sure the pot smoking will tone down..it will have to..you can not buy lots of pot and pay your rent and bills..but back to the Bruce#3...he will hopefully figure out what he wants or needs , drop that huge chip on his shoulder and enjoy his life with or without me. He needs to realize that HE is the only person that can make himself happy, i can not do it for him. Life is unfair but there isnt a damn thing you can do about it so suck it up and deal with it. He has the ability to do whatever he wants within the limits of his health issues and yet he does nothing. He can go anywhere, see the world or get off the internet and find a life among the living. His negativity suffocates me alot of the time but i still love him and care about him. I hope and pray that he gets his head out of his ass and makes a life for himself. If he can do that, then maybe there is hope for us..until then I refuse to leave my good,sweet, wonderful but sexless husband and join him. I will stay in a marriage that does not satisfy all my needs but nutures me and my son. I get to go to San Diego for a week alone every month so I do get a break, so how can i bitch? I do not have to work unless I want to and I do whatever the hell I please..i just do not have anyone to share it with..but these are the men in my life..I love them all for better or worse..

Baseball news

This was another one of those "Interleague" play weeks..as some of you are aware, I find interleague play unnatural, like kissing your sister or feeling up your mom..its just not done in civilized societies. This week the American League came out on top of most of the battles with the exception of the St. Louis Cards..those fuckers swept the Tampa Bay Devilrays..who as most baseball fans know suck pond scum. The Orioles are still in first by a mere 3 games over the Red Sox and the hated Yank$ are still in third in the AL East..yes, the yank$ ARE moving up in the rankings, but this writer considers that an anomaly and they should hit the skids again real soon. The Chicago White Sox have a comfortable 7 game lead on their closest rivals the Minnasota Twins in the AL Comedy Central. The twinkies just lost two straight to my boyz the San Diego Padres this weekend..
The Los Angeles/California/ Anaheim Angels are still holding down first in the AL west. Those monkey loving fools have been there all season and that is a good thing for a Cali native such as myself, although Daisy's boyz the Texas ButtRangers who are only two games out of first are coming on strong as of late. I love the ButtRangers manager, Buck Showalter so I do not have any problems with them overtaking the Angels if God sees fit to let that happen..she is a Ranger fan I heard somewhere recently..good for her, the Rangers need all the fans they got considering that no one in their right frame of mind goes to sit in the Texas heat and humidity this time of year to watch a baseball game. Why didnt those dipshits build an enclosed stadium like the Houston Astros? Fuck if I know..The Oakland A's are tanking like a fat guy in a marathon..its sad to see a once great team play so badly..it just makes ya wanna cry if your an A's fan..which I am not so screw the bitches with a lead pipe.

On the senior circuit, otherwise known as the National League, The East is being led by those transplants from Canuck Land, the Expos, now known as the Nationals..aka the GNATS..i like to use the proper spelling of the word i find it cute..the Gnats have a slim 2 game lead over the Phillies. Now the Phils have one of THE most butt ugly mascots in sports, the Philly Phanatic..its a lime green concoction that closely resembles a deranged Care Bear that has been up on Meth for a month straight..the third place team is the Atlanta Braves who are absolutely sucking so bad this year that Bobby Cox, the geriatric manager might finally step down. We can only hope sportsfans...when your manager looks like an alzheimers victim lost in his own neighborhood half the time, its hard to have any confidence in the team and its players..

The NL Central is being led by none other than those friggin Cards..they have a comfortable 9 and a half game margin over those losers at wrigley, the Cubbies whom I hate only because they beat the shit out of my Padres then got swept by the fucking Yank$. How could the Cubs let the Yank$ sweep em? Have they no pride? Nah,its not that..they are just missing some bats and most of their pitching is on the DL..which come to think of it are the main ingredients for a winning baseball team. The rest of that division has lost more than half their games and playing .500 ball would be a godsend for those losers..there are six teams in that division and FOUR are below .500 in wins..makes me think the Cards get cocky by the end of the season and then lose in the playoffs when they actually play a decent team..afterall, with the new way its set up in baseball you play the teams in your own division more than anyone else..so a false sense of security is a possibility for some teams at the top of their standings in very shitty divisions such as the AL and NL Comedy Central.

Ok, we are now at the NL West..my division..my hope and prayers rest squarely on the shoulders of the San Diego Padres and the AZ. Diamondbacks..both of whom are on the wrong end of a streak..the losing streak..both teams are 4-6 in their last 10 games...way to go boyz..your sucking dick like a wimp in jail with a bunch of hard core biker dudes..thank god the Dodgers are just as bad with a 3-7 record in the last 10. The Pad's are still leading the group of NL West losers by a whopping 3 and a half and 4 games respectively..the Padres play the Dodgers for a four game series this week, so we might have a change in the top spot. I hope not..no way in hell i want to listen to the b&c cackel like a friggin moron if the hated Dodgers take over first..it would make me very very upset and I would have to find ways to retaliate if the boyz from Hell-A take over first in the NL West. Like refusing to make dinner, or making him sleep on the couch, or cook the foods i know he hates w/a passion. I have my ways ..muahahahahah..such an evil laugh..

The big story this week was the Angels pitcher Brendan Donnelly getting busted with a "foreign substance" on his glove during his last outing..this is tantamount to having cork in a bat for a hitter...its massive cheating and i hope the prick loses every game he plays in after he serves his ten game suspension. I hate cheating..unless it involves the IRS..then go for the gusto I always say..in any case,there is your baseball news for this week sportsfans..have a wonderful week and come back around next sunday for more insights into the fantastic world of Major League Baseball..
