Adolf Hitler - What Is Love

Spongebob VS Hitler

Last Day of the Year!

Well, today is December 31st, 2010.  Time to reflect on the past year and the possibilities of the year ahead.  What can I say about 2010?  This year was like a lot of other years, somewhere in the middle, not great but not terrible.  2011 on the other hand is going to be an incredible year, I can feel it.  Every year I am always optimistic about the new year coming, but 2011 is going to be a pivotal year!  Not sure exactly what or why but it's going to happen.  One year from now when I look back at 2011 I am going to say, "Now that was a year!".  I do believe the 2011 gods are smiling on me and mine and the stellar-ness of the new year is going to be tremendous.  Tonight as I ring in the new year, I will be grateful for the year past as well as grateful for the year forward.

It's 3:00 a.m.

Well actually it's 3:45, but I have been up since 3!  Also rolling over and over in my mind is the Golden Earring song, "When the Bullet Hits the Bone".  Remember the line....It''s 2 am?  Of course you don't that's another one of those useless trivia things that me and a half dozen others would probably remember. 

So why am I up?  I have no freaking idea!  Couldn't sleep and didn't want to lie there anymore.  Has that ever happened to you?  Doesn't happen very often for me which is why I thought I would blog about it.  If I am going to be up at 3 I should write something profound like this gem of an entry. 

It is nice though, not a sound in the house.  No TV blaring, no kids whining or fighting.  The phones not ringing.  I could get used to this...if I didn't need sleep!  the problem now is around 10, I am going to hit a wall!  I am supposed to be driving to St. George this afternoon...that should be interesting.  A four hour drive on 2-3 hours of sleep.  If the 2 of you that read this blog never see another entry it is because I fell asleep driving and died!

That would be cool if I didn't ever have to sleep...unless I wanted to.  Like that dude in the James Bond Movie, that dumb one with Halle Barry.  Unlike me though dude had that cool machine that rejuvinated him...yeah I don't have one, or a hotel made from ice either.  That would be cool...for a few minutes.  Hotel made of ice, now that'a a bright idea. 

Cool it just turned 4am.  There is no song with that line, so I will have to end this entry.  Stay tuned for another thought provoking, cliff hanger edition.  Until next time.  Same Bat channel!

Tribute to Yvonne

The internet is a splendid thing.  As I was perusing the vast amounts of useless information I came across a gem.  All one of you that read my last post may remember that I recently had a birthday.  September 1st to be exact.  To my ever loving bewilderment I learned that I share a birthday with the lovely Yvonne DeCarlo.  Lest you think this is another one of my sarcastic musings, you would be terribly misinformed.  Yvonne DeCarlo stole my heart at a young pubescent age as I ran home from school and would sit in front of the tube to watch the Munsters.  Yeah there was Eddie, Herman, Grandpa and the others, but Lilly Munster stole the show.  Lilly was the ghoulish matriarchal head of the...dare I say dysfunctional family?  She turned dysfunction into a symphony of function.

The pieces all came together for me as I was reading of Yvonne's lengthy roles.  I always thought that Moses in the 10 Commandments got the prettiest wife, even though they made her to be the oldest and homeliest of the sisters.  Moses got quality and beauty with Yvonne. She herded the sheep as Moses retreats to Mt. Sinai to commune with God, she like the matriarchal Munster mom, keeps it all together while everything else around is in chaos.

Sadly Yvonne past in 2007 of heart failure...which would be an appropriate end to a lovely lady who stole my heart many years ago.

Genesis Chapter One

Yesterday was my 44th birthday. Hardly a milestone in the grand scheme of things, but significant things are going on in my head. While I can hardly claim a midlife "crisis" I do claim a midlife pondering as to the meaning of life. Not just life per se, but my life. We've all heard the rhetorical questions, "why am I here", "where am I going", "what are you going to do with your life". Good questions!

I tell my faithful, beautiful spouse and best friend for half my life, that in my head I am 10 years old. Yeah...really 10 years old. I'm still that little kid that is sarcastic, inappropriate in public and likes to tease my little sister. I have refused to grow up in my head and often that kid pops out in my grown up world. When the 10 year old pops out I usually get a humorous response, looks of disgust or a puzzled look from someone who has no idea what just happened. My poor body on the other hand is pushing 70! So what is my point? Well unlike Seinfeld's sitcom, a "show about nothing", this blog is a little of everything. Yep, that's it, everything that comes to my ever so fertile mind. If you dare or care to take the ride with me them fasten your seat-belt because who knows where this could take us. I am happy to take on cyber hitch-hikers.

How would I describe myself? I would like to quote one of my all time hero's, Hank Hill, "Dang it, I am sick and tired of every one's asinine ideas about me. I'm not a redneck, and I'm not a Hollywood jerk, I'm something else entirely. I'm...I'm complicated!"

Complicated...I guess we are all complicated. Some more than others.
