Goodbye to 2011

Image
Don't you wish that's all you had to say was goodbye to one year and the next  would be a totally clean slate. One thing about 2011 is it seamed to be the year where things that have been hidden or kept behind closed doors and minds, were exposed to the public in ways that people who thought of themselves as untouchable were suddenly looked at as monsters. I say what took so long.  Another thing is the sudden rebellion against the top so called 1%. I think it happened because of those people who have been going to collage for way too many years and now have a massive debt that has to be paid back and can not find a job. This occupy Wall Street thing did not work. Sitting in City parks or wherever, is not going to get your point across. It is only costing tax payers more money to clean up the mess you are making and more police to try to keep things safe for everyone.  If you want to get the top people to pay, find a better way. Hit them in the pocketbook. Sitting around and

Merry Christmas to all!

  Now that I've wished you all a Happy Christmas I'm off and running, ( as soon as I eat my breakfast and I'm done writing this post). Let's see what do I have to do before the kids get here......

So here I go. Deep breath, Ready! Set! Bang!!!! I'm off!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!!!!

Scandals

Image
This seams to be the year where scandals are revealed. Just think about all the scandals just from this month alone. Sex, political, sports, and entertainment.Being the world we are that seams to be all that matters. How did we get to be such a scandalous world? How did we get to the point that they are such huge scandals that seam to have been going on for years,and  are just now being exposed? Why now? Why all at once? These are usually things that should never have been allowed to have started in the first place. Why do we look the other way when we see something bad going down? I think one thought is they don't want to be the one known for bringing someone down. Especially if it's someone you look up to. So you sit on it and let if fester till it comes the day that you feel like your going to explode if you don't release it. Or someone comes up to you looking for something big and offers you something to tell all, so you jump on it. But some people want to make

Baggy Pants

Image
I know this a fashion statement that's been around for awhile. Recently where I work we had a temp person who wore his pants like this. I was surprised no one said anything to him about it not being safe to wear pants like that here. Anyway I was noticing the way he was standing in a very wide stance to help hold up his pants because his hands were very busy doing the job. It got me to thinking if that is a normal way to stand for people who wear these kind of very baggy low riding pants. If so what will these people look like as they get older and this trend is no longer seen. Will this generation will look like this before their time? People might ask if you've been riding a horse for days.Chances are you've never even touched one. Or maybe people will look at you as if you've got your pants full. You know like a little two year old that just filled them and does not like the gooey feeling. Just think of the medical problems that it could cause. Back problems, hip

Midnight or 12am?

Midnight or 12am? Which one sounds better to you? When all that Black Friday advertising was going on (and driving me up the wall,especially the one from Target with the Lady dressed in red) I was asking people which sounded more attractive to them, Midnight or 12am. Everyone said it's the same. Especially my oldest one. I just said I know it's the same, but which one sounds more attractive to you. It was a draw.  Some said midnight because it sounded like the middle of the night.   Others said 12 am sounded like the beginning of the day. So I guess when it comes to attracting people out at 12 am or midnight it all depends on the person and which sounds better to them. As for me I sleep through both of them. You are not getting me out of bed to buy something. There is nothing in this world I need that badly that I would do any of that kind of madness. It's just another thing telling us that we are no one unless we buy, buy, buy. Spending money in the wrong way
