It couldn't happen to anyone else any other place - not this year. Last night the power line collapsed IN THE DRIVEWAY!!!!  Without power for about 3 hours - and add heartache to misery, I did not get to record last night's episode of "Terminator: The Sarah Connors Chronicles" which screws up my collection.

BUT WAIT! Thats not all - according to the workmen from the electric company - that to their knowledge this was the FIRST winter weather related power outage this season in this state.  So yeah - Hawgtown Arkansas IS Ground Zero! Oh for the love of mike, why couldn't it of happened to you! Then I could be reading your related blog entry - and I would not have missed Terminator, The Sarah Connors Chronicles.

Not that I would wish such inconvenience on any of my friends - I'm just sayin'.
Film at 11.

Ok - some of you wondered about my Extraterrestrial friend Bob.  I wonder about him too, he's just not quite right. If you know what I mean.

On a serious note.., I took this picture on December 1st 2008.  I hesitated posting it here because I get called everything from a liar to being made fun of. If it was just my word I would understand. But I got the freaking picture with my camera! No wings, no sounds just moving along like nobody's business. Not hear say. I did not doctor the photo in any way other than to add the closeup and arrow.

When I say UFO everyone automatically starts thinking I am calling this a Space Ship.  I never said such a freaking thing - and it fishes me off BIG time when people start making that assumption and making fun of me. UFO is an "Unidentified Flying Object" - if it flies and cant be identified - its a UFO.  Doesnt matter if its a plane, a blimp or a weather baloon, until its identified its a UFO.

THE PICTURE IS HERE - CLICK ME
Photobucket resized the image so its not as sharp as thr original pic.

Its flying in the air - so I am calling it an AIRCRAFT of some sort.  As for so called ETs and flying saucers, etc, I believe they are from right here on Earth - even if its got little green men, they are from here not elsewhere in the universe - although the Universe is a pretty big place and the likelihood of life elsewhere exists. Science even holds out for that possiblity.

Of course I should have thicker skin - I tried to pass it off and make jokes my ownself until I realized they arent just laughing at me - they are calling me a liar and the same as labeling me a retard or crazy despite having a picture, again, assuming I am saying I caught an Extra Terrestrial.  Jokes are one thing but when friends call me a liar - I stop laughing.

Up front I don't have the link to this story - and I heard already enough I don't need to know more.  If it has ovaries at birth without so much as extra genitalia - its a clear cut case of Female having baby! End of freaking story.  This woman who feels she is a man (and has a woman partner) has given birth to a baby. The tabloids and "some" Legit news sources are shouting to the roof.., that a man has given birth to a baby. GIVE ME A BREAK! I am not Einstien - but this whole thing is insanely stupid even on a scientific view scale. Any scientists saying that this woman turned man is a valid male birth is out of his mind and needs to lose his or her Braniac License.

This planet is screwed up enough without confusing genders.  Its non of my business if Joey JuJu born a man wants to be a woman. If he already knows about the taboos and goes with his gut he wants surgery - fine - thats his business to become a her - But Let Joey know that when he becomes Joette - it is medically and naturally impossible for Joette to have a baby.  He cant say "Well I really am a woman" and make it stick.  Its like a Rock calling itself a tree. Doesn't make it so. Put a few leaves on the rock - its still a rock.  Put lipstick on a pig and its still a pig. Paint the toenails on a chimp a hot looking rock star doesn't make.

So - take a woman who get transgender surgery - she's still a woman. unless she cant have ALL the man parts and dispense with the female parts - come on. If she calls herself a man - fine. I don't care. but now comes a woman who thinks she's a man - non of my business.  She/He gets pregnant and the world starts cheering about the MAN having a baby.

Has intelligence really dropped that low in the 21st century? This is NOT a personal view point - a woman has ovaries and the other stuff that makes her a woman.  The only way I myself (in my opinion) can place the matter in a gray area is if the person has been BORN with BOTH male and female parts.  I cant just say scientifically that THIS person is anything other than what he or she has decided he or she is.

This politically correct Bull Snot has reached a new low.  OH! THIS MAN GAVE BIRTH TO A BABY!  How people live or what they choose to call themselves - I don't care - BUT for the love of anything that can be considers sacred - EVEN SCIENCE yields to Political Correctness????  The moment Science recognizes this woman as a man that gave birth to a child - then scientists judgments and theories come into deep question.

I love my friends - they can disagree with me if they want, but cheese Louise - when political correctness overrules common sense and science - move over Planet of the Apes because we already will have Monkey's ruling the planet.

[A sad foot note to the above sanity] Certain preschools in California are encouraging small children to pick their own gender. AFTER confusing them with political correctness b.s. - that they have a right to choose what gender they want to be.  Parents who objected in court were over ruled by the judge, who cited the parents had no business, nor the qualifications to be dictating what constitutes education.  This is ONE story I wish I had the links to. I couldnt believe my ears. This story came out a scant few years ago on Tv and Radio broadcasts - secular and religious mediums.

I don't even want to talk - I might upchuck, I am soooo full. Theres not a lot to say, the eateries was the whole shebang.  I will confess something really sad. So don't tell anyone else ok. Not even the person standing next to you.

Dad was insisting on saying Blessings - and "now".  Grrrrrr - I needed to bathroom really bad. But no, he wanted to do this now. He's slipping I guess - in that everyone should be settled in at the table - or maybe I'm slipping. But the man doooo like to say grace so imagine how long saying / asking blessings over Thanksgiving Dinner was.

So there I was - my bladder about to go kablooey and he's just getting warmed up after 2 minutes (give me a break) and my eyes were closed not so much in reverence as it was concentrating on not piddling myself right there on the spot. All through the process I could not focus on his words - my own inner voice was drowning him out with a silent mantra.., "I got to pee - I got to pee - I got to pee - now!"

Finally - the words "Amen" I heard that one distinctly and fled like felon to the bathroom. Relief is not spelled R-O-L-A-I-D-S.., I promise you. It's spelled, "P-E-E-I-N-G   M-Y   B-R-A-I-N-S  O-U-T"

AHEM.., you may have noticed the player box in the left sidebar. Its all songs that I have sung myself - some of them are duets I did with Amy, Maxine and Rhonda - all three are my friends from Bix and accomplished singers, unlike myself. There maybe other duets added later with others. These songs are a potpourri of Rock, Country and some of it Gospel (no rap - I hate rap - rap is crap and not music). You can rate the songs, as the are displayed at the top when playing you'll see some stars - rate me as you please, I wont know who voted 1 star or all.

This is probably the best way for me to showcase my songs without making people feel forced to listen - and not clutter my blog entries past the textual clutter I make in blogginging.

Ok - thats all I gots ta say about that. As you you were - hasta lavista. Go back to your rat killing, you rodent killing savages.

I will be spending Thanksgiving here with the parents and my youngest brother. I never see my daughter on Thanksgiving Day or Xmas - the in-laws always take priority. But I'm good with that, a little miffed maybe, a little heart broke perhaps, but I can deal with it. But the worse possible thing that could possibly happen has reared its ugly head - a tragic epitaph on the scrolls what bear my life's history....,

My Satellite Tv is on the fritz! and will remain that way till Friday! OH THE HORROR!!! A Travesty gone completely awry! I held my Tv receiver box close and sobbed the night away. The poor piece of crap is about to go belly up. I looked into its sad pathetic little blinking green light trying to be brave.., thinking, 'you poor little thing - please don't go - we have so many more episodes to watch.., of, Smallville, Stargate Atlantis, Psych, Burn Notice.., and oh the old re-runs I dote on like The Rifleman, The Rockford Files, Star Trek.., and the cool educational shows on history, the mysteries of the universe, time travel sciences and oh so much more.'

Last I checked - its little green light is still aglow, as it struggles to be brave and maintain a picture - ok the picture looks a little psychedelic, partly washed out but its a sign its still with us.
**dave wipes a tear away - clearing throat** If it can just hang on till Friday.., till friday.

In the meantime - I'm pigging out on Thanksgiving!!!! YEAH!

On a more seriously note - we have a lot to be Thankful for - friends, family, pets, a roof over our heads, that at least for now we live in freedom. Oh and we have lots of cool Tv shows to watch - some of us do - some of us cant.
