This is just freakin hilarious… It doesn’t matter how many times I see it, its funny because everyone has seen this guy, or knows this guy. He usually pulls up to the bar driving a chevy cavalier complete with a spoiler and sweet rims.
One thing I have never really understood is Karaoke. It’s one thing when someone gets up and encourages fun and laughter and really entertains the crowd (or is actually good). But it’s a whole other ball game when someone gets up and starts wailing on the mic, thinking they are really good, while they are making peoples ears bleed. It is in these instances that I really don’t know what my role as an audience member is. I feel bad for laughing at these sincere attempts, but I cannot help myself, and I end up laughing and it ends up being extremely awkward. The awkwardness is especially awkward when all the bad karaokers’ friends (who are also bad crazy Karaokers) are sitting at the table next to you and start giving you a dirty looks because they think their the bad karaokeing friends’ rendition of “I Will Survive” is awesome. It’s really just a bad situation all around and I have decided that I am no longer allowed to go to any Karaoke nights.
Another Karaoke phenomenon that is weird, is that like clockwork, it seems there is always someone in the Karaoke crowd (who is usually a regular and comes to sing this one song)who gets up gives us a rendition of “The House of the Rising Sun.” I don’t get the Karaoke connection with this song- and wonder what’s the deal? Maybe its all the practice a person can get by watching it on you-tube - so if you aspire to be this person or just really dig the song check out this killer Karaoke video…
I can’t really have a blog without mentioning my most favoritest show in the entire world. Sex in the City is my guilty pleasure. I love this show and cannot get enough of it and am greatly anticipating the movie that opens this May. For the purpose of this blog, I was trying to pick my favorite episode- but this is impossible. I love them all and could (and have) watch them over and over again. I anticipate a few Sex in the City marathons will be running close to the end of May to get ready for the movie. Take a sneek peek at the trailer, everytime I do I get mondo excited… and FYI- at the end of this movie, if there is an unhappy ending, I’m tellin ya, I will be none too happy.
I have been wondering for years when Shreddies would come out with a new product… and it’s finally here! A revolutionary Idea has come from the creators at Post Cereals! DIAMOND SHREDDIES! Take a look at these videos and you will see some of the market research they have done and I think you will really understand the greatness that comes with the new Diamond Shreddies!
Wanna know my biggest pet peeve? Well, I guess it doesn’t really matter if you want to know or not… I am going to tell you. I cannot stand to see “Baby on Board” stickers displayed on cars. Cannot stand it. I don’t have anything against babies or their parents- I think they are great. What I do not understand is the idea behind displaying one of these decals. When driving down the road, and you see that yellow sticker- are people expected to drive more safely? So naturally I turn to wikipedia to get the scoop and they claim it is to stop tailgating. But what makes your baby anymore precious than my grandmother on board or my Dad or my sister or my best friend? Just my thoughts for the day…
One thing I love about living in this part of the world is the 4 distinct seasons. I love each season for different reasons, but there is just ’something’ about spring.
Top ten things I love about Spring…
10. The snow melts.
9. Planning summer holidays.
8. The excitement- everyone just seems happier.
7. Grass turns green and flowers begin to grow.
6. People come out of hibernation.
5. New life.
4.The days get longer and warmer.
3. Jumping in great big puddles after the first real rain.
2. The sound and smell of rain.
1. It tells you that summer is just around the cornner!
So I was flipping through channels today and stopped on one of those kids’- all-day- cartoon-stations. This phenomenon baffles me- all cartoons all day- these kids are spoiled, they have so much to choose from- its crazy! This got me to thinking about some of the totally rad children’s programming that I used to watch. Then naturally I began googleing all of my favorite old shows, which led to a most welcome trip down memory lane. There really was nothing watching cartoons in your p.js on a Saturday morning and hangin out with She-Ra, The Racoons, Hercules or Muffy the Mouse off of “Todays Special.”
I am not happy. Yesterday, I earned my right to complain, as I cast my ballot and voted in the Alberta Election. The out come of the election was a bit surprising to me, but that is not what makes me mad. What makes me mad is the number of eligible people who did not vote. I can not even begin to understand why not even half of the people who live in this wonderful province chose not to vote yesterday.
I asked a couple of people today if they remembered to vote and one woman actually told me she didn’t know there was an election! This makes me so mad… With roughly 2.5 million eligible voters in this province and only around 1 million voting- this is ridiculous!
Last night was the 80th annual Academy Awards. I love going to movies, and I do think these actors and actresses that star in these pictures are talented. However, I think the only thing worse than knowing there are people who get paid an astronomical amount of money to act, is that there is an entire evening devoted to awarding these people. It’s not like these individuals are changing the world or curing cancer.
Well, mid-terms are here, and I am amidst chaos… So for anyone else who needs a little stress relief, or just enjoy a funny video ,bloopers reel or a good old AFV montage- have a look. Good luck with exams, papers and remember spring break is almost here!
