Crap Book

This is the book that I tried to finish this week. It's hugely popular and selling like hotcakes. People love this book. I think it's filled the void left by the Harry Potter books. I tried to read it. I tried really hard but in the end the trash got to eat it. I tried to make it my "summer read" but I failed. It's terrible and I have many other books to read. 

I feel sorry that I didn't "get you" Twilight and I won't be a part of the hysteria your series is causing. I feel bad but I had to rip you up out of frustration of your corny dialog and silly plot. You used too many dumb cliches and you're dopey main character annoyed me so much I just had to rip you in half.

I think I'll just look up the plot on Wikipedia.

New Web Phone


I just ordered a web phone. I'm kinda nervous and excited. I'm paying $38 for my home phone. I'm going to get rid of that and get a web phone for only $20 more.

It'll be part of my "therapy" to get out of the house. Hopefully, I can feel more secure when I'm away from the house b/c I'll be able to do my email and TCB (take care of biz). I feel so trapped in the house. This way I can do some work anywhere and be available for emergencies. Every time I leave the house someone calls and I always get annoyed that I missed it.

The fun part will be figuring out how to do email and switch some things over to the phone that I get stuck doing at the house.

Michael Sembello - Maniac (Solid Gold)

God, I love The Solid Gold Dancers. Ooof. Why are there no "performance" music hit shows anymore? The artists from the 70s and early 80s made such great songs but they were ugly dudes. Music videos changed all that. I want some ugly guy music with Solid Gold dancers. There may be more Solid Gold posts in the future. Solid Gold!

Matthew Wilder - Break My Stride (Solid Gold)

You've got to remember this song. It's one of my first musical memories. I remember hearing this in the record store on Lyndale Ave. As an added bonus why isn't a show like Solid Gold on anymore? I hope they put Solid Gold on the DVD. I still think the chicks are hot and sexy. I love these old musical performances. Ain't nobody gonna break-a-my stride ain't nobody gonna slow me down. Wise words by a musical genius!

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - Tha Crossroads

Whoa! Do you remember this song? This was a huge hit back in the day. I think this is the second rap song that actually made me tear up. I remember thinking this was really interesting. It's a pretty "deep" song and I love it like I love that R. Kelly Jesus song. It's corny but there's something special about it. It's kinda deep and magical.

Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger

Is there a more bad-ass song than this?
