Peace Out 2006
Sunday, December 31st, 2006Oh Me
Thursday, December 28th, 2006If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do
I dont have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And thats old news
Would you like to hear my voice
Sweetened with emotion
Invented at your birth?
I cant see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
And store it deep inside of me
(written by the Meat Puppets)
Why Not ME!?
Thursday, December 28th, 2006Why Not ME!?
Well we all have our daily routines. It’s those things that have to be done before anything else. Mine is simple but very important. I check my blog and all my friends blogs (in the blogosphere, sorry Denise) and then my day is complete.
As you all know I am a huge fan of Dooce and love checking her website daily. She is more or less an idol of mine in this digital world. It would be awesome to meet her someday but I would rather have 500 Million Dollars, a new car or a fuckin’ TAIL! But I guess she will have to do. Oh and the whole “Tail” thing, that’s another entry.
Where was I going with this…oh yes. So I got home and checked Dooce’s site and read her entry and was pleased that there was a YouTube link to the interview/roundtable she was part of when she was in New York. What next? That’s right kiddies, I clicked it. Watched it and then sat in my chair and thought to myself about one comment she made.
She was asked by Soledad O’brien who she would pick as person of the year she came back with this:
“My readers are mostly women and mothers and so there’s a wide variety of who should be mentioned in this and one would be Nancy Pelosi for sure.”
Now her pick is not what sparked my brain to start running but the first part of it was what made me take a step away from the keyboard and go “WHOA, whoa, whoa, whoa. Really?!”
I am SOOOOO not part of that demographic. So what does that say for me that I read, religiously I might add, a site that is mostly read by humans with the “XX” chromosomes and those that have pushed a watermelon out of a whole the size of a grapefruit. WHERE DO I FIT IN?! I don’t have those chromo’s and I sure as hell can’t do the other.
So I came to this conclusion: I am different. I have always known it and so I guess it’s okay. Whatever, her site is amazing and I will never stop reading it. It’s okay to read it. She is a great writer and is very entertaining and seriously, if you can support your husband/wife and 3 year old off of a blog then you must be doing something right. Keep it up Heather, oops, Dooce.
The other question I have to ask you all is what do you think the demographic of my site/blog is? I am still trying to figure that out and I am asking YOU to help me.
A Little bit of the 28th b’day

All I want for Christmas is my blog
Tuesday, December 26th, 2006Let me first start this off right. I wanna welcome all those that are new to this site and I am gonna do my best to make you all feel right at home.
A couple of shout outs:
Haley (my distant/sort of cousin)! You rock girl and it’s good to know you are spreadin’ the word about this digital form! UH!
My siter, Randi Love you girl. I am sorry I couldn’t be there but I am glad mom was down there with ya.
AmberLynne Girl, next time Denise is out here we are so makin’ a road trip to Seattle!
Any others that I forgot Insert name here: ________
So Christmas was awesome. Chinese food, “Brokeback Mountain” calendars and shots of tequila from flashing shot glasses! Yeah, my family is that cool! How about yours? What?! I didn’t think so.
Day before Christmas Eve. I drove up to Portland and met Christina, Mortgage Girl to those in Meddy. Shit, did I just say Meddy? Whatever. We had some lunch at Cheesecake Factory and then did some shopping. Found the perfect tie for my grandpa. I think it will match his purple spray painted shoes very nicely. Then off to the Aunt’s house. My cousin Hugh came into town that night so we just hung out and drank. Ah, good times.
Christmas Eve. I got some last minute shoppin done that night. I have figured out that is when men shop the best, seriously. I found everything and it was PERFECT.
Alan’s birthday was that night so we all went to see the movie The Good Shepherd. I highly recommend it. Then back to the house for a nice chinese dinner. Alex was in town now and it was complete. I went to a midnight service at the Baptist church up the street and it was amazing. Did some last minute wrapping and then back to Grandpa’s to head to bed at 2 a.m. But, first I called and woke up Denise at 5 in the morning to wish her a Merry Christmas and bullshit.
Christmas Day Open presents, had some laughs and then off to my cousin’s uncle’s house for a huge family dinner. We couldn’t stay that long but it was good to see his Uncle Tim, Nancy, Aunt Debbie and Haley (WOOP!). Then it was a 4 hour drive home to Medford and blastin the tunes, Justin Timberlake, Marilyn Manson, Snow Patrol and Jay-Z. Yeah, I am all over the map.
So I give the whole weekend a big 7. Could have been a 9 if my Mom, Ellie, Randi and Scott were there but that is next year.
THREE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
