Sorry I'm Late !

I know, I'm late. AOL is life's way of telling you to slow down. It's bad enough that I use dial-up, but then AOL continually upgrades my safety and security by sending me new downloads that take 47 days to install, thus effectively turning dial-up into yodeling.

That said, I need to tell you a few things about myself and my journal. I enjoy people and writing, and I always have. The purpose of my journal is to stop me from yelling and screaming obscenities at my television everytime I see something stupid (hey, that could be a song. It already is. Oh!). 

One of things that absolutely delights me is humor. I enjoy humor and I also enjoy inserting little things in my journal that you have to really read to understand. Normally in the upper part of my journal, you will see words in blue parentheses. This is me. Since I talk to and answer myself, my alter ego is in green. You should have written the word "green" in green. Shut up! You have to really search the entry because there's always something either between the lines, tongue in cheek, or completely fabricated. There's times that I completely invent things in This Date In History. There are times that I forget the Birthday year of someone, so I just make one up. It saves time on research. Then, there are cryptic and blatant messages for many of my friends. You just have to look for them. Always read the tags and better yet, try clicking some of them. You never know where it will take you. Comments are definitely welcomed and encouraged, if for nothing more than my ego. You're sick! I know, I'm also dyslexci.

In short, my mission is to entertain and amuse you. I hope that I succeed because when I do so, it makes me happy! This leads me to the following story.

A man was on a plane waiting to take off when he noticed a beautiful woman coming down the aisle towards him. His heart raced when she took the vacant seat beside him. Nervously, he said hello and the woman told him she was going to Las Vegas to a nymphomaniac convention.

"I'm a lecturer and I'm going to debunk a few misconceptions of sexual behavior", she said. "Really?, he replied, "What kind of myths?"

"Everyone thinks that African men are the most endowed, when in fact, it's the Native Americans who have that distinction. People think that Frenchmen are the best lovers and it's really Jewish men who are the best. I also discovered that Southern Rednecks have the best stamina".

Suddenly, the woman became unconfortable. " I'm sorry", she said, "I shouldn't be telling you all this. I don't even know your name."

"Tonto", the man said. "Tonto Goldstein, but my friends call me Bubba !"

Ok, So what's the speed of dark? When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. Hard work pays off in the future, but laziness pays off now!

Alright Monday, Let's Get Started !

Let's get this Monday started. I hope everyone had a nice weekend. A lot of things happened this weekend. First and foremost, my heart's out to the city of Greenburg, Kansas, who suffered a devastating tornado that wiped out ninety-five percent of the city and killing twelve people in the area, ten from Greenburg. I have learned that within the last two hours, they found someone alive today in the debris.

Street Sense won the Kentucky Derby going away under the rein of local jockey favorite, Calvin Borel. The colt had an outside starting position and was buried in 19th position in a field of 20 at the start of the race. Borel, with a little luck on the inside, found an unbelievable reserve in Street Sense, rode to the front and won going away. I can't wait until the Preakness in two weeks.

Paris Hilton was sentenced to 45 days in jail for driving with a suspended license. I wonder if they have room "service"?

The "General Lee", the red car they used in the "Dukes of Hazard" sold on Ebay for nearly 10 million dollars. My bid came up a little short of that price. Shithead's bid came closer 'cause he included a box of meow mix with his bid.

The Pictures: Faith Hill, who along with Tim McGraw, is today's featured artist. Some "unusual suspects" today with, hopefully, something for everyone.

From Larry the Cable Guy: A day without sunshine is like night. On the other hand, you have different fingers. Forty-two percent of all statistics are made up right on the spot. Ninety-nine percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name! He who laughs last thinks the slowest. Remember, half the people you know are below average. Support Bacteria, it's the only culture some people have! A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. If you think nobody cares, try missing a few payments!

It's Your Thing !

It's my thing but, I need to start bringing notes to myself when I go to Krystel's. You know, like, remember you've got a bad hip, so don't dance all night with the ladies. You'd think it would dawn on me after a few times, wouldn't 'ya. Wrong, salsa breath! So, I get up each Saturday (sometimes morning, sometimes not), and do a self examimation.

The first thing I do is look around and make sure I'm at my apartment. Then, I do a quick body exam to make sure all the parts are still there and Ralph's ok. My next move, and I use the word loosely, is to head towards the bathroom to make sure I don't have marks on my head where I usally wear the lampshade as a hat.

Assuming all check points are fine, I then try to recreate the evening in my feeble little mind with the hopes that I didn't do or say anything I could possibly regret or that could be used against me in a court of law. This is followed up with a quick check in my voice recorder on my cell phone as I oft times record messages to myself. Thankfully, I speak fluent Scotch, so I'm able to translate any messages to self.

Well, my little imbibers, last night was no exception and my record remains intact. I first noticed the pain when I opened my eyes. The pain was then aggravated as I limped to the bathroom and the previous evening started to come back to me.

(Fade in...)  I remember singing "After The Loving" with the band and I stepped into the audience and sang the song to Barbie. (Fade out...Blank...then Fade in...) A girl said," Ay, Jimmy, don't spin me so much, I'm getting dizzy". (Fade out...Fade In...) I'm taking off my jacket and hanging it up. (darkness). 

Yeah, I did it again. I'm going to make a few calls later to find out if I had fun last night.

A blind man was walking with his seeing eye dog when they came to an intersection. Ignoring traffic, the dog promptly guided the man into oncoming traffic. Amid horns blaring, tires screeching and people yelling, the man and the dog arrived safely at the other side of the street and the man reached into his coat, pulled out a cookie and gave it to his dog.

Amazed at the man's actions, a bystander said to the man, "Why did you give the dog a cookie after he almost got you killed?"

The man replied, "I'm just trying to locate his head so I can kick him in the ass!"

As Time Goes By !

Somewhere along life's road I seem to have lost certain inane abilities (no, not that one). Simple little things! For some reason, I now have to be very careful when I cough. Why? I don't know, it 's just that way now. If I begin to cough, my whole system seems to think that it's a free-for-all and everyone wants to be a player. Sometimes I'll cough and throw in a sneeze at the same time. Other times, I cough real hard and for some reason, Shithead (my cat) gets up and moves away from me.

I cannot differentiate between my lungs and my stomach. I take a sip of my drink and for some reason it goes into my lungs, forcing me to gasp for air and I think I'm going to die. I recall when we were kids, this same thing would happen to my father and he would get up, put his hands over his head and walk around the room making strange sounds, while at the same time, my dog, Beannie, followed him around the room, smelling the back of his boxer shorts. At the time, we would howl with laughter at the sight of the dog following Dad around the room. I have become my father, but Shithead knows better than to follow me around the room, 'cause I don't wear boxer shorts !

Speaking of walking, my mother started walking for her health at the age of 72. She's 75 now and I have no idea where in the hell she is. The only reason that I exercise at all is to hear the sounds of heavy breathing. I was considering cross country skiing, but it'll have to be a very small country.

The Pictures: Today's featured artist, Duke Ellington and "The ususal suspects".

For the second week in a row, we do not have a winner of the coveted Cat Ass Trophy. In many ways, that's good. There's so many potential winners out there each and every week and it's nice that no one fouled up this week. Fear not, friends, I've no doubt that someone will come out of the woodwork. I hear (A) Rosie O' Fat Ass has a deal in the works that possible will compete with "The View" in the same time slot! 

This Date In History: 1932; Notorious gangster Al Capone enters a federal prison in Georgia to begin serving a sentence for tax evasion. 1979; Margaret Thatcher is sworn in as Britain's first female Prime Minister. 1980; Lt. Col Oliver North is convicted of obstruction of justice and destruction of documents in the Iran-Contra affair; it is later overturned.

Today's featured artist is Duke Ellington performing "Satin Doll". It brings back memories because the first song I ever performed in a jazz club was this Ellington classic. Here's Duke Ellington.

                                     

Birthdays: Horace Mann, educator (1796), Hosni Mubarak, president of Egypt (1928), Audrey Hepburn, actress (1929).

The man was walking down the aisle of a store and asked the clerk where the Polish sausage was. The clerk asked the man if he was Polish.

The man said , Why do you ask if I'm Polish? If I asked for rice, would you ask me if I'm Asian? If I asked you for pasta, would you ask if I was Italian? If I asked for kosher hot dogs, would you ask me if I was Jewish?

The stunned clerk clerk said, "No sir, I probably wouldn't." The indignant man blurted, "Why then, do you ask me if I'm Polish when I want to purchase Polish sausages?

"Because, sir,", the young man replied, "This is the Home Depot."

That's it for today, my hot little sausages. See you at Krystel's tonight. More tomorrow.

In My Language

There's no pictures today. No music, quips or remarks. Just chillin' and thinking. It's a little late, but I wanted to work on today's entry so that everyone can digest it no matter what time of day that you read it.

I ran this video a few weeks back and it deeply affected me. I first heard about Amanda Baggs one evening while I was listening to CNN's Anderson Cooper, a person I admire. As CNN is almost always used as a background when I'm not listening to music, I only picked up bits and pieces. When I stopped what I was doing to listen more carefully, the piece was almost over. I jotted down two things that I heard. One was You Tube and the other was the young lady's name.

I didn't pursue it at first, but the little bits I could piece together kept gnawing at me until I realized that I had to find the video. It took me two days to find it and with my trusty dial-up computer, another lifetime to download it to my You Tube site.

After listening to it three times, it dawned on me that there was a depth to this person that no one knew about until she was able to "speak". My first thought was, what would have happened to her if she would not have been able to express her thoughts? Would "they" have put her in an institution?

This thought leads me to many more thoughts. How many people can't say what's on their mind? Imagine if you were speaking English to people everywhere and found that no one anywhere spoke English? Even worse, you could understand everything they said, both kind and unkind, about you and you couldn't reply, couldn't defend yourself, couldn't.....!

I could go on and on ! Watch and listen. Form your own thoughts. I would ask the readers of my journal, especially ones who have many contacts, to let their readers know about this particular lady and her video.

Please be aware that this video is eight minutes long. The first three minutes will be difficult to understand. Amanda will begin to explain it to you after that. The video is also closed captioned. Be patient.

                    

If you ever wanted to leave a comment, but were shy or unsure, just imagine that you wanted to make a comment, but couldn't, and when you tried it read "zhaow,20f;w-f[qwkd" Today, my friends, is the day to make a comment.

That's it for today, my friends. More tomorrow.

Humpday !

Humpday ! For as long as I can remember, that's what we called it. As I was putting my mind into gear for today's entry, I began to think (?) about the connotation of the word, "hump". A camel's got a hump (sometimes two), hills have humps, the Hunchback of Notre Dame had a hump (your ex-girlfriend had a hump! You're getting on my nerves). Then I thought, a dog will hump your leg  (so will your ex-girfriend). I will use the word "hump" in humpday to reflect hitting the top of a hill and beginning the descent of same, as opposed to the young german shepherd's act when you sit down at your friends house to have a beer (surely you rant! Shut up....and don't call me Shirley!).

I'm going to try to put the video of Amanda Baggs, the autistic young lady, in my journal tomorrow. If I can't get it in tomorrow, due to unforseen reasons that perchance may occur this evening at Krystel's, it will be in Sunday's entry. 

The Pictures: 1-2) A dog house and a cat house (use your own discretion). 3) Johnny Mathis, today's featured artist 4...) The "usual suspects".

This Date In History: 1519; Leonardo Da Vinci, Italian scientist, sculptor, and painter of the masterpiece, Mona Lisa, dies in France. 1945; Berlin surrenders to Russian Allied Forces in World War II; less than a week later the war would end.

Birthdays: Catherine the Great, empress of Russia (1729), Lorenz Hart, of Rogers and Hart fame, lyricist (1895).

Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks? People seem to read the Bible more as they grow older. I think their cramming for the final exams! Why do croutons come in air-tight bags?

I Forgot To Remember !

You know, I gotta start reading the notes I leave to myself! Besides my alter ego butting in (who, me? Shut up!), I also leave myself notes, because if I don't write it down when I think of it, chances are it won't come up again until July. As you might have figured out, I have a tendancy to digress, regress, undress, redress and forget if I left the stove on.

Some people may think that this is dementia, but I have had this malady for as long as I can remember, which is two minutes ago. Thankfully, when I get lost writing an entry, I always go back to the top and read what I was writing (he hides his own Easter eggs, too).

That being said, I grabbed my cell phone today to tell some friends I was on my way to join them for lunch and the phone didn't work. It seems someone forgot to pay the cell phone bill yesterday. When I went to the kitchen to use the land line, I saw the note on the refrigerator, in large print, stating very clearly, "PAY PHONE BILL". Seems easy enough, don't 'ya think?

As I chatted the cell phone company representative to turn my phone back on, I grabbed a muffin and and nibbled on it while I resolved the bill. I then noticed another note on the fridge that reminded me to fax a statement to a client and while doing so, I grabbed another muffin (don't get ahead of me) and ate it.

After resolving the phone bill and faxing the statement, the cell phone rang. You got it, Toyota! It was my friends asking where I was. They had been waiting to order until I got there. When I arrived they just starred at me when I ordered soup and a scotch.

The Pictures: Check out these puppies ! There's some exotic ones today also. but then again, what's new? Don't miss the picture I "borrowed" from Indigo, it's great ! 

This Date In History: 1707; The Act of Union unites England and Ireland as the United Kingdom of Great Britain, both under the Union Jack, the national flag. 1931; The Empire State Building in New York has it's official opening. 1941; Citizen Kane, starring and directed by Orson Welles premieres in New York City. 1967; Elvis Presley marries Priscilla Beaulieu in Las Vegas.

Here's Madeleine Peyroux, a pert little jazz singer, who's today's featured artist. I put the cover of her album in the pictures because that's where I first heard her.

Birthdays: Glen Ford, actor (1916), Scott Carpenter, astronaut (1925), Steve Cauthen, jockey (1960).

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: Thanks to a perfect martini.

Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? Why do we something is "out of whack"? What is whack? If you take an Oriental person and spin him around, does he become disoriented? " I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence? If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it "Fed Up"? If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

That's it for today my little reminders. More tomorrow.

Poor Monday !

I was thinking last night (You think? Shut up !), as I was mentally preparing for Monday, this poor day gets a bad rap. It's like being the middle child. The oldest child is the responsible one and the youngest is always the favorite. Sure, Monday is the oldest child in one respect, but no one told Monday that from then on, it would always have to follow Sunday, the favorite and most respected day of the week. It get's picked on in songs (Monday Blues, Monday Monday, yada yada yada, ad nauseum). Life's a bitch sometimes.

CNN's Glen Beck had a pseudo contest last week that I totally missed until I saw the re-run last night. Everyone was to send in a picture of the look on their face when they heard that (A) Rosie O'Fat Ass had left "The View". It was a hoot. I wish I would have thought of it.

I'm going to re-run the video of Amanda Baggs, the autistic young lady that I ran a few weeks back, some time this week, probably Wednesday or Thursday. It's lengthy (8 minutes) and the first three minutes you won't understand until you see the whole video, but I implore everyone to watch it if you haven't seen it. I assure you it will enlighten you to a degree you've never experienced and allow you to get a real good look at someone with a disabilty, who, through the electronic age, can explain what is going on inside her mind. Suffice to say, the girl can type 1,000 words a minute and her voice is produced electronically, but after you "hear" her speak you will be flabbergasted.

The Pictures: Lee Ann Rimes, the closest live voice comparable to Patsy Cline that I've ever heard and today's featured artist.

Since we're talking about Monday, what would be better that today's featured artist, Lee Ann Rimes, performing "Blue". Enjoy !

                                    

This Date In History: 1789; ,George Washington is innaugurated as ther first president of the United Sates in New York City. 1803; The United States more than doubles it's size with the Louisiana Purchase, the vast territory bought from France for 15 million dollars. 1812; The territory of Orleans enters the Union as Louisiana, the 18th state. 1945; Adolf Hitler commits suicide in his bunker in Berlin. 1975; The Viet Nam War ends.

For those of you who have not seen it, don't miss "Planet Earth" on the Discovery Channel. It is made by BBC and is five years in the making. The pictures and information are mind boggling !

A man walks into a bar and espies a older woman sitting at the bar. He approaches her and says, "May I buy you a drink?'" She replies, "No, alcohol is bad for my legs." The man said, "I'm sorry to hear that. Do they swell?" The woman replied, "No, they spread."

A Beautiful Sunday Afternoon !

They're racing Nascar at the beautiful Talladega Speedway in Alabama today. So, I'm making today's entry with one eye and watching the race with the other.

My father was born in Palmetto, Alabama and I have family in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. Besides family and friends (Hi Jackie) in Alabama, I spent some time there in 1963, involved in stock car racing with the likes of Bobby and Donnie Allison, Red Farmer, Jackie Evans and several others. I always have fond memories of Alabama, especially when they televise the races there.

The Pictures: My favorite current era country music singer Vince Gill and wife, singer Amy Grant. He's today's featured artist.

Today's song by Vince Gill is entitled "Go Rest High On That Mountain" He's joined by Ricky Skaggs and Alison Krause, both talented singer-musicians in their own right. Listen carefully to the words. They're well chosen and they always remind me of my father. I think this song is appropriate for a beautiful Sunday. I always enjoy it and I hope you enjoy it as well.

This Date In History: 1429; Seventeen year old Joan of Arc leads troops into the besieged city of Orleans. 1980; British-born director Alfred Hitchcock dies at the age of 80.

Birthdays: Alexander II, emperor of Russia  (1818), William Randolph Hearst, publisher (1863) , Duke Ellington, jazz bandleader and pianists (1899), Hirohito, emperor of Japan  (1901). Dale Earnhardt, seven time NascarChampion (1951).  

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: Thanks to my sweetie pie, Beverly, for today's tidbit.

An elderly man walked into a confessional and said to the priest, "I am 92 years old, I have a wonderful wife of 70 years, many children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Yesterday, I picked up two college girls who were hitchhiking. We went to a motel, where I had sex with each of them three times."

The priest asked, "Are you sorry for your sins?" The man said, "What sins?" The priest admonished, "What kind of a Catholic are you?" The man replied, "I'm Jewish."

The priest asked, "Why are you telling me all this?" The man said, "I'm 92 years old. I'm telling everybody."    

That's it for today, my little country singers. More tomorrow.

It's Friday And I'm Out Of Here !

Well, it's Friday and you know what that means...., Krystel's Restaurant and Nightclub, the home for wayward men and women. We have a good time though and that's what counts. 

There's no winner for this week's "Cat Ass Trophy". Shithead (my cat) and I seriously considered Virgie Arthur for the coveted award, but we decided that in order to qualify for the A-list one has to have that special A-gene that qualifies one for the prestigious list. Although Virgie will get "honorable mention" along with (A) Rosie O' Fat Ass, they just didn't have that special something to win the award. Arthur, a sad lump of camel dung, needs to progress along evolutionary lines to attain the permanent A-list status. Virgie's pathetic appeal was dismissed today in the Bahamas and Larry Birkhead and Dannielynn will he heading to the United States. Hopefully, we'll have more nominees for the next "Asshole Of The Week" award.
