Your smart self needs to realize that "your" is not the same as "you're."  Please take the extra half second to add the apostrophe & "e" so that all of your "your funny" comments do not read as sentence fragments to those of us who passed seventh grade grammar.  Please.

 

***I would like to add that this post stems not only from regular people misusing "your," but also from the FUSE commercial in which lyrics scroll across the screen & the lyrics improperly use "your."  Also, and this one hurts because I was just growing quite fond of them, The Fratellis' liner notes have a bad "your" in the lyrics.   Weep :(

If you know what's good for your soul, you will join me in NYC in two weeks.  That's 14 days. Or 336 hours.  Or 20,160 minutes.  (the hours & minutes are approximations because I don't know when you will read this.) OR (this is new from the bulletin because I just did more math... after forgetting for a second that zero times any number is still zero... At least I admitted it...) 1,209,600 SECONDS.  Whew.  That's a long time for me to wait.

Anyway, Snowball 37 has a kick ass new drummer, an old but new kick ass guitar guy, the ever reliable kick ass bass player & the best kick ass singer/guitarist.  You should see them perform before they hit the road and you have to pay a bunch of money.  Be the first on your block to get a Snowball 37 tattoo while you're at it.  And if you think I am being partial about the singer cuz he's my sexy man, maybe you should go to youtube and see how many people agree.  Go ahead.  I'll wait... Comment after comment about his ass kicking vocals.  Boo yah!  Did I just write "boo yah?"  Yikes, next I'll be saying Bro.

If you hate music, you could just come hag out in your Halloween costume.  Wow, that was a typo in the bulletin. I meant to write "hang" out but hag out all you want.  There is never a better day for women to whore it up than Halloween.  You've all seen my Wonder Woman pics.  You know what I'm talking about.

SO, these are the details.  There are more to follow but I know you all are super busy & need to file these dates in your Blackberries ASAP so as not to double book yourselves for some lame wannabe fun Halloween party at a dirty little bar in NJ.  Come to the (probably) dirtier, much more expensive drinks selling bar in NYC.  Since Elisa is buying my drink, I will buy a drink for the person who comes in the second best Halloween costume.

Cost : ?? But it can't be more than $10 which is the price of a movie in some places & you know if you're going to the movies, you're also getting popcorn & a soda so that's another $10 that you could spend on a drink with a little kick to it & there aren't any good movies out anyway because Rob Zombie released "Halloween" in September.  You should see it.  I did.  Actually, The Devil's Rejects is better but don't watch it on the 26th.  Come to NYC instead.  This place is only half a block from Planet Hollywood.   When I went to see the place, I saw Freddy Krueger outside Planet Hollywood.   He scared me.  Don't you want to see him before Halloween so you have awesome nightmares?  I know you do.

Snowball37's first show back after the "revampification";. Do not miss it. Wear your Halloween costume, yo. 21 and up, please. More info to follow www.myspace.com/therock45roomtimesquare www.connollyspubandrestaurant.com (212) 597-5126

Apparently, I have grown accustomed to people calling me snowball.  heck, it's better than Snowbird, Snowboard, Snowbell, or whatever else people shout out when they don't feel like using their fine reading skills.  Well, I was leaving work tonight & this man and his son passed me on the sidewalk. I hear the kid say, "Was that snowball?"  So, I turn around (thinking maybe I know them) & say, "yeah it's me."  The father asks "Are you trying to start trouble?"  I assume (never good) that he is talking to me so I start explaining, "Oh no sir, I just thought that you were talking to me.  You see, sometimes I wear a shirt that says Snowball on the back so some people call me that."  I start taking my jacket off to show him and he  says, "Oh, you work here."  Meanwile, the son points to this little pile of snow and says, "I was just asking if that was a snowball."  And, the father says, "Yeah I was telling him not to start trouble.  I didn't want him to get any ideas about throwing snowballs at me." 

Ok, that's all... I have to go polish my hunting fork... Quail season is upon us.  Original, I know.  I'm speechless when it comes to this matter.  There is little I can say that would be funnier than the events that actually occurred.

Where's Dr. House when I need him?  For the past month, every doctor has said that my dad's back pain was caused from a pulled muscle or overexertion.  They prescribed oxycontin & percaset.  They didn't work so they decided to give him an MRI & voila, they found a cancerous tumor on his spine.  Thanks Doc.   Thanks alot.  Now, he has to go for radiation in addition to the chemo.  That should be fun.  I knew I jinxed him when I said how well he was doing.

As of September 13th, Tupac has been dead for 9 years.  He accomplished so much in his 25 short years.  I will spare you most of the gory details of why I love him so much (watch "Tupac Resurrection"), but I will share this quote of his. 
 
"I can look directly into my face [in the mirror] and find my soul. It's right there. It's not sold. I didn't sell it. It's still within me. I still feel it. My heart is still connected to my body, so any character, I'm going to bring that intensity, that truth, that honesty to it, because I have to repay for that blessing.  I could be the best actor anybody's ever seen, given the chance, the opportunity and the experience and the lessons from people. I could be the best, but right now, I don't even wish to be the best, I just want to be one of them."

Me too, Pac

I just wanted to give a quick big - ups to my pops who went for his chemo again today.  He's dealing with everything like a real champ.  Whereas most people get nauseous from the chemo, it hasn't spoiled my dad's appettite very much.  My mom & I brought him a big stinky burger from Burger King while he was having his treatment in a room of 5 already queasy, fellow chemo patients.  Part of me feels badly that they had to smell that when they already felt sick, but the other part of me has to chuckle & say that's my daddy =)

2 weeks = the time it took for Greta VanWretched to find a new missing white chick.  This must be the first night of coverage though, becuase Greta didn't go interview the neighbors yet.   

Friday I heard something on Rush Limbaugh that I wanted to share.  I have transcribed his words so you would know the best way to try & break through to me.  I have annotated it as necessary & eliminated parts when he was stuttering:

"I'm sure that many of you encounter liberals." (Yes, raging Republicans too) 
"I'm sure that you hear them articulate things that just do not connect, ...the logic sensors of the brain are as far apart as they can be... You wonder how can this be?  ...Even after you present them with what you know to be logical, rational thought followed by an inescapable conclusion, they still don't get it..."  (Where do these 'facts' come from?  Are they the same 'facts' Colin Powell publicly regrets believing (Ahem - the WMD's))
 "The reason is, ...& I don't mean this to sound insulting, liberals have not arrived at their world view as a result of intellectual examination and thought."  (You're so right!  Most of what I believe can be found on the Cap'NCrunch box.  The rest I learn from FoxNews & conservative talk radio) 
"They have gotten there either by growing up with parents & families [who] inculcated the beliefs in them.  Those beliefs are then reinforced by a series of college academics, professors, graduate students & so forth."  (I knew I went to the wrong college.  Neither my professor NOR my parents ever talked to me about politics.)
"...most of the reasons liberals think the way they think is to make themselves feel better about everybody else & to feel good about themselves."  (If only I took some hardcore prescription drugs, I would know what this is supposed to mean.)
"SO, the process of getting through to one is not 'listen to me, let this get through your head.'  It's a slow process of simply showing another world view... based in thought."  (Somebody needs to take his own advice.)
"The root to conversion from liberal to conservative... is opening up their minds to thought first, not feelings because most of the time a liberal cannot explain to you why they think what they think.  They can tell you exactly what they think, they can't tell you why & they certainly couldn't persuade you to agree with them."  (Right again.  You need to make me THINK!  All I ever do is feel & gosh darnit, I want to think!)
"What they end up doing is somehow telling you that you don't know what you're talking about, that you are an -ism.  You're a racism, you're a homophobe, whatever the cliches are, that's how they deal with it."  (I'm not a racism, you are!) 
"Over time, eyes can be opened & the key to this... is they have to arrive at whatever new thought or conclusion themselves.  They will not accept it if you talk them into it... That takes time.  You can only... unlock the key that turns the thought process on in the brain... Do this in small doses.  [Start with presenting a small part of a typical liberal/conservative debate, something that they have never thought about it, & leave them alone to think about it.]  ...You may have no sign that the mind is worrying... but at some point [you catch them] listening to me."  (I'm listening, eagerly awaiting your great words of wisodm Obi Won Limbaugh.  You really have me feeling... fits of laughter coming on)
" ...Once a liberal starts thinking, that's when the odds are greatest that if not a conversion, that a hmmm I haven't thought of that before, I never even looked at it that way before [which is understandable because] you haven't even looked at it, you've grown up with templates, you've looked at things through prisms, & that's how you see everything.  And they purposely shield themselves from thought..."   (You're right again!  I have never thought of it that way because my feelings get in the way & I start feeling that you're wrong.  I can't help it though.  I carry these prisms & templates everywhere I go.  I have this template of what I feel America should be & what I feel an American president should do for his people & his country...  I am still waiting for that moment when I can say, "I never thought of the war in Iraq as actually being a good way to spread America's love of democracy & freedom.")
"& remember most of it is designed to make themselves feel better than everybody else & good about themselves."  (Wait a minute!  This isn't what I signed up for.  Rush, you said earlier that it was designed to make me feel better about everybody else & now you've gone & changed it!)

  I was driving while I originally took notes on this, but I just found the audio so I could actually transcribe it.  I thought it was funny when I heard it, but after going through & commenting on each part, I'm starting to think it's sort of boring.  Also, I think he was referring to ludicrous lefty liberals & that's not quite me.  Maybe Ann Coulter's book is funnier.  Seeing her get a pie in her face was pretty funny.  I think it would be funny to get a pie in the face, especially if it was one of Liz's chocolate cream pies.

I haven't posted out of fear of sounding overly trite, but I do offer the following.
I have been thirsty & hungry, but searching for spare change or a 24-hour convenience store does not compare.  I have been alone in the dark, but a few hours without power with a dry floor below me & roof over my head eventually lulled me to sleep soundly.  I have stayed awake for hours on end, but, again, I had a safe place to come back to.  I have walked in deep puddles, but some splashing around after a storm does not compare.  I have lost pictures that I have taken, but I cannot imagine losing all of them without warning.  I have lost pets but never because I had to save my own life.  I have often felt the need to help, but never so much as I do now. 
I keep watching for the same reason I kept watching after 9/11 - I don't want to stop feeling.  I don't want to take for granted what I have.  I want to do something.  I don't have millions or even hundreds of dollars to offer, but I have my heart & my hands.  I fear for a girl I barely know, if only because we share some similar interests, if only because she is one of the many who do not deserve anything like this.

Bill O'Reilly just offered the best advice to those who have been ravaged by Hurricane Katrina & are stuck in their homes.  "If you're in trouble, wave that flag."  Wow, Bill, I'm sure they are watching you right now.  Even if they did have power, I'm sure there is nothing more important than their daily dose of OReilly wisdom. 

This awful man called in to Rush Limbaugh saying that Americans shouldn't have to cover the bill for them when they were the ones who chose to live there.  What a jerk!  A natural disaster is just that.  It's not something you can predict &, even when you can, how do you know when the predictions are valid & you really should pack your family & your life into your sedan & pay the $3/gallon to drive away?  Where do you go?  Rather than spending tax dollars bombing those freedom haters & anyone who might be in the way, I'd rather know that some, albeit small, portion of my taxes are going to help Americans in need & those cute dolphins that they saved by putting them into the swimming pool of a hotel. 
Hmmmph, this is sad.
