Where am I?

Ever notice how much a head wound bleeds? Alot. So I am sleeping last night and suddenly my head hurts and I wake up. Now, I've been woken up by the cat scratching the crap outa me before and I screamed bloody murder when it happened(and it was about an 8inch gash up the back of my arm). This time I barely moved, just sorta woke up. Then put my hand to my head and looked and saw blood. Then I put my other hand up there and got more blood. So I got up and went to the bathroom and blood was running down the right side of my face! Lots of it! I grabbed a towel and wiped away(it must have been about 3am or so-not really awake at all) what I could until I was pretty sure I wasn't bleeding anymore. I am certain there is a decent size gash up in my hair-the kid got squicked out when she looked at it this morning. I need to take a shower and wash out the blood but I am afraid of the pain the shampoo may cause. I can feel the scabbing and what seems to be a bit of a small lump. It hurts. Yep. I don't know why we let the cat sleep where she does-although I reckon this is only the second time I recall this happening and she is close to 12 years old. And I can't really stop her from coming up on the bed while I am asleep. Just one of those things I guess.

But boy does my head hurt.

Football

I freakin hate the Ravens. I hate how the stupid refs GAVE this game to them. The Titans got royally screwed today. I hate that I get to emotional over a stupid football game. I guess sometimes I feel as if your sports team represent yourself to others and when my team sucks so bad it HURTS.

October

Wow. I went the whole month of October without posting a note here. Well, I have to be honest, I've gotten back on the Warcrack, er I mean Warcraft. A new realm became available and as we have been on for a year now, I sort of wanted a fresh start. Kinda bored with the toons I had, they never seem to do much except farm. And I was tired of wading through the mass amounts of toons on their epics IN their epics just standing around Orgrimmar waiting for...whatever. There are none of those on the new server. My toon started about 4 days into the creation, so I was a little behind. The first 60s hit at about a week I think. So it's been 3 weeks and my new buddy, Dane, a human mage, is level 37. I've taken a bit of a rest to farm for money for his mount at 40. BUT...I mean to address this on a new blog I am thinking of starting here regarding my time playing. Just about things to remember and such. Wish I had done it a year ago!

So yeah, I am back into that all day each day-and not doing anything else. I have such an addictive personality, I swear! But at least now anyone who may be waiting with baited breath (HA!) for my next entry here knows where I have been!

PTA meeting

Going to the PTA meeting tonight. The kiddo is reading a paragraph on the American flag to the group. Yep, up in front of everybody. I am so nervous. But I have the videotape ready!!

We went to the Sam Davis home for a field trip today. That was cool-I only volunteered because I wanted to visit the home again-I hate being around kids that are not my own. I gotta hand it to my kid's school-they aren't afraid to let our kids know about the Confederacy and God and America. :) Thank God for small favors!

Nuff said

Tuesday

So who didn't see the Saints winning that game? Yeah, like that wasn't fixed. It was hard to watch much of it, because I am so sick of hearing about NO, but I would really like to know if they EVER frickin mentioned Mississippi last night. My bets are on "no". Jerks.

I hate when it rains on the weekends-we get NOTHING done. With the cooler weather and the lower gas prices I am hoping to get the family out graving more on the weekends, but it keeps raining! I have my fingers crossed for this weekend, but the weatherman isn't making me happy.

So the kiddo gets invited to her first slumber party. She is SEVEN. I initially said "no", but we may think about it. At least it is someone we know somewhat well-who was on her softball team the past 2 years. But we have to go out and buy her a sleeping bag now. Ugh.

As to the "myspace" mentioned below-I don't think I will ever go to it again-too much of a hassle to keep up with. Like I said, I have here to blog and my personal website to add photos, etc. I don't need some other place to deal with.

Patch day on Warcraft-may or may not be playing tonight, the way things go with them....not.

My Space??

Ha ha, why bother? I have this space, and I like it here. I already know my way around here. It's familiar. Comforting, if you will.

I signed up for myspace. Made a profile. But it is too damn confusing on how to change anything on there, and I don't feel like blogging in two places. Hell, I can barely remember to blog here most days. And the only invites I have gotten so far have been from some random country singer(nope, never heard of you, you are not my friend) and two for groups that just sounded nasty. Ya know, I would like to find friends, I just don't want fake ones. I'd rather deal with having no friends, and just continue to talk to myself.

New tv shows

I haven't talked about this yet-totally slipped my mind. So here goes from what I have watched so far...

Survivor - Not too bad, I like Ozzy and Cao Boi is funny. Hard to say on the first episode as to who I will pull for-I guess I don't hate anyone yet

Amazing Race- Not too worried about who got eliminated first week. Like the Kentucky couple, good ol rednecks-just like me. The druggies, they are ok. I never root for chick teams, and especially since they are cheerleaders and Miss USA-whatevers-gag. Still remains to be seen who will like and hate.

Mythbusters-has already had a few good episodes this season. My mind has gone blank, though-Wednesday I will add more after the next episode.

Have I watched anything else other than football lately? Can't recall. College-yeah Michigan, Texas losing to OSU sucked, Tennessee losing to gagamaggots always sucksorz. NFL-Titans 0-2 ick, Broncos 1-1(barely) geez, Falcons 2-0 yeah.....Colts 2-0GAG, Ravens 2-0GAG, Raiders 0-2LOL.

Oh and one more Rachael Ray, is she cute or what? Maybe a little too bouncy sometimes-kinda gets on my nerves, but I love watching her. =)

Dane Cook

Wanted to mention, I've been watching "Visious Circle" every time I come across it on HBO. Dane Cook is hysterical! I've never seen him anywhere before, but this is a freakin kick-ass show. Funny stuff, dude, very funny stuff!!!

Change in the weather

Thank goodness fall is almost here!!! I hate the heat. We actually went for a drive last weekend and it was really nice!! Speaking of the drive, we went and got five more Tennessee Governors for my website-2 in Mt Olivet in Nashville, 2 in Lewisburg, Marshall County, and one in Giles County. I haven't counted but I have to be at least halfway through visiting them all. Cool. Maybe I will actually accomplish something!!

I've been working on the website like crazy lately. Which is good because it keeps me off of Warcraft. I can't get up the gumption to even log in anymore-I may be cured! Hooray!! And the website needs help-so many photos/pages need to be added, so little time! Speaking of which...

Sick and tired

I am so f*cking sick and tired of Bush-haters.

<<edited-just leave it at that>>

Titans

Yes, thank you Titans. And now its official, my life sucks-or all I like sucks.

Titans looked terrible today. I was told all week they would win because they were playing the worst team in the NFL. Well the worst team in the NFL WAS on the field, but it wasn't the Jets. I dont' care if the Titans "scrapped" or got lucky and tied the game, they still couldn't do squat when it counted and dropped one that the Jets kicker was trying to hand to them on a golden platter. Collins, I used to love ya man, but you are not what the Titans need. I almost got excited when Vince came into the game, but it only lasted one series, and I was severely dissappointed that he never really came back in(one 2pt conversion attempt does not count). The defense could not stop 2nd GRADERS, especially our defensive backs. Pathetic. Fisher is hot, but that is a female speaking-the football fan in me thinks FINALLY it is time for him to f'ckin GO. Same old crap from the team. I am not impressed, I am not excited. I am looking to the Falcons now for my football fix.

As to my other teams, well I can't say yet exactly what happened, as I have only seen numbers. But the Falcons won, beating a Carolina team they couldn't beat last year. And the Broncos lost to f'king St louis. WTF happened there????? Ravens won and that sucks almost worse than ANYTHING. It's only 4:22pm as I write this, but the Cowboys are winning(which SUX) and the Colts(whom I dispise) have yet to play. Week one in the NFL season looking like this makes me want to VOMIT and wonder WHY I am a football fan.

It is however genetic, there really isn't anything I can do about it. I am what I am. And sometimes I hate that. But I cannot change it. But if I did, maybe someone somewhere would like me, then again maybe not. Maybe it really is just me.

So many things...

To talk about today.

First of all, I am very saddened by the death of Steve Irwin. I wasn't his biggest fan, but his death, like only a few others, has really affected me. Just so hard to believe he is gone. I really loved his ESPN commercials where he tackles the Florida Gator(because, of course, I cannot stand UF). He was really fun to watch. Very passionate about the animals, and I loved that about him.

And to Glenn Beck. I do love to listen to him, but his take on Steve's death has pissed me off royally. Yeah, noone is really surprised he died this way-even STEVE said he would probably die to a wild animal! BUT to say it in such a way to imply his stupidity for what he did really pisses me off. No, Glenn, he didn't want to die this way, not now, but he WAS doing his job and what he loved-and that is educating others about animals. Get off your high horse, Glenn.

More later....

I'm going to hate today.

One year later. I cannot believe it has been one year. And all the are gonna friggin talk about today is New Orleans. F*cking New Orleans. I am sick to death of hearing about them. THE HURRICANE HIT MISSISSIPPI!! THE EYE WENT OVER BAY ST LOUIS-The towns of Waveland, Bay St Louis, Pass Christian, Long Beach, Gulfport, Biloxi, Pascagoula, Ocean Springs-were all nearly WIPED COMPLETELY AWAY. The roughly mile or so from the beach in look as if someone just ERASED it. GONE!!!!! Not flooded, "oh boohoo my shit has mold on it now" GONE!!!!!


Ugh. All I am gonna do is cry all day. That is it. Try to watch the shows in the futile hope that they will talk about Mississippi. And cry. I will go to the library and grocery store, because I have too-I cannot glue myself to this or I may just truly lose it.

I will probably talk more about it later.

Why do I even bother?

Is anyone even f'in reading this? Not that I care really, I guess, I am so used to talking to myself by now.

<<edited -leave it at that>>

Where can I f*ckin fit in?

I am never going to find someone I can talk to. Ever.

<<edited-leave it at that>>

Sunday morning

and hoping that this new storm, Ernesto, stays well away from Mississippi. Go anywhere else BUT Mississippi. Please. It is difficult enough dealing with the one year anniversary this week-no need to bring more storms this way.

As for the football draft last night, well I didn't want part of the picking, but when the hub's first pick was some RB I'd never heard of and his second pick was Randy Moss, I left the room. He has an "ok" team I suppose, but we think that every year, and every year we get trounced. And I HATE the thought of having to pull for someone or some team I cannot stand. At least he picked a few Broncos, that makes me happy. =)

And the Nascar race? I turned it over to that a few times(while watching the Titans/Falcons) and everytime they were only ever showing Jr. AND HE WASN"T EVEN IN FIRST OR SECOND PLACE!! I AM SO F'N SICK OF SEEING JR EVERYWHERE!! He has ruined Nascar for me. And then at one point, TNT guys are doing a "through the field" and THEY SKIP Michael and pick up with the guy behind him!!! HELLOOO YOU MORONS! Grrrrr. Mikey finished 16th, pretty damn good for him this year.

I need to go read the paper.

Am I ready for some football?

No, actually. Well, I want to watch some, but today we make the trip to draft a fantasy team-and I hate fantasy football. My players always get hurt-I jinx them. So last time I played I drafter players I wanted to do poorly that year-reverse psychology. Didn't help. So I will try to stretch out the trip over, maybe to stop at some cemeteries. We shall see.

No Glenn, nooooo!

Dammit!! The stupid-ass radio station here in this market, 1510 WLAC, is moving Glenn Beck to a tape-delayed later hour soon! ARE THEY RETARDED?????? They don't seem to care if Glenn is the third-most listened to radio show in America, they want to put some local yahoo on in that time slot. DAMMIT! I would protest them if I thought it would matter, but then I would miss listening to Glenn!! And I need my Glenn fix every day. I just hope it isn't too late in the afternoon, because Rush is on at 11, then Sean at 2pm. At 5 is sports and I am afraid that is where Glenn will be put AND IT WILL SUCK because by 5pm I am fixing dinner and doing other things and not listening to the radio! ESPECIALLY since Glenn's tv show is on at 6pm here!!!!

DAMMIT WLAC YOU SUCK!!!!

Past the weekend

Tuesday morning. We are working on some rearranging of the den, and it is so cluttered in here right now. Moved wall shelves to over my desk, so now my Waltrip collection hovers over me, and I like it. We had to repaint the walls where the shelves were, however, and cannot move the new bookshelves to that space for at least another day. So there are stacks of books and boxes of stuff sitting everywhere. Frustrating to say the least.

And it is Tuesday, Warcraft maintanence morning. (whoa thunder just hit, hopefully I will stay online!) So time to work on the website. And hopefully get so into it that I cannot stop myself from doing mainly that. I have managed to get many photos from the old computer, and need to work on cropping, resizing and identifying them to make them ready for the site, as well as doing some massive makeover work on the site. I like the new look though, not so dark and depressing(except where it needs to be). (see "Life is short..." link to right)

And now my stomach rumbles. Time to eat. OH and HOORAY we are getting a Dunken Donuts here in my town in the coming months....FINALLY!!! We have no Krispy Kreme(hell I don't even know where the closest one is except maybe somewhere near downtown Nashville, dammit) so hooray for the Dunken to bring one to MY town!!

Guilty!

Yes, yes yes!! I knew it all along. I am certain that the jury got it right. Perry March is found guilty of killing his wife, Janet. The Tennessean article, just in case you haven't heard about it. It has been big news around here. They have covered it on "48 hours" on CBS. She "dissappeared" just about 2 weeks before I moved to Tennessee, so it was the first big news story I saw when I arrived here. And now it concludes. The way I figured and hoped it would. Good is all I can say. And I wish to never have to see his lawyers smug mug on tv ever again-will someone please wipe that smirk off his damn face?? Geez.

And now to "not guilty", and that is what I feel about this FREAK who is confessing to the Ramsey murder. Not a chance do I believe him. How did he know about the secret room? How did he know exactly how much money the father had gotten in a bonus and ask for that in a ransom note? Tooooo many questions. And the guy is just a freak.

And back to working on my website. Trying to make it more light colored, not so dark and depressing. Maybe it will look better that way. Who knows.

Back to school

So, it is football season and back to school-my two favorite times of the year. Means summer heat is almost gone too. I like it. Tomorrow is the kiddo's first full day in school, my first real full day of peace. I'm not sure what I will do with myself. Maybe play the game for awhile. For sure work on the website. Clean? Well, maybe. Probably save that for later in the week. :/

The Titans played last night. Can't say much, except same old play-calling in certain situations. I could SO be a defensive coordinator on any team playing against them because at least half the time I was calling their play before they ran it just from the formations. And I had really hoped since McNair left(traitor) that the offense might change also. Nope. At least not from what I saw last night. I love Jeff Fisher, but his play-calling(yeah, I am sure he calls the plays even though Chow is now designing them) is always the same. We saw hardly anything new last night. I am just hoping it was the "vanilla" play-calling the tv guys called it and that things change before real game #1. Otherwise it will be a long long season. And they play Denver next week, so I will be watching the Broncos more closely, especially when Cutler gets in the game. Can't help but pull for my beloved Broncos. =)

Well, I am hungry. I should probably go get lunch ready. I really should clean my desk off, it is a disaster area. Oh and turn on the Perry March trial-that #$%^& needs to fry. And his smirking jerk of a lawyer.

Where am I?

Yeah, playing World of Warcraft. And that's about it. So much to do, so little time. School starts for the kiddo on Monday. Need to get back to the website. Need to get AWAY from Warcraft. Can I do it? Someone help me, tell me how to STOP PLAYING????? I feel like a drug addict who knows that I should be doing something else and just cannot stop. And not to mention beginning to deal with idiots who are now starting to tell me how to play.

Oh great, just as I write this the friggin cable goes out. Lovely day, friggin rollercoaster-car dies, that's $500, but wait-hooray my website is restored!-now the cable goes out while I am trying to work on fixing the site up and type here. Up, down, up, down. CRAP!

As I was saying(and now typing on notepad and saving so I don't lose my train of thought)...I need to get back to where I was. I have lost my way. I was a good person, doing good things(at least I thought so), and now I am playing a video game all day and argueing with someone over whether or not I should be using math to make my friggin character better. (because frankly I don't give a flying FLIP if my character is better than anyone else's-I don't have this "e-peen" thingie going on that apparently MOST of the other players do. I really, really need to get away from this game. It is tearing me up. Actually I think it is the dealing with other people that is tearing me up, same way it happened at Find A Grave. Most other people just piss me off. Why is it ok to try to ruin someone else's day? Make ya feel good? Some people must have really pathetic lives if it makes them feel better to try to ruin someone else's day. And it seems to be that ALOT of people who play this game get off on just that-ruining someone else's day. I can't deal with these people anymore. Ten months is more than enough to have played and I NEED to be done with it before I have ANOTHER nervous breakdown.

joy.

World of Warcraft

Or is that War"CRACK"? I have been so addicted to this damn game, it's just sick. We got the game back around Halloween. My first character, a female Night Elf Hunter, I got up to about level 30. I did not know about the way many others feel about Night Elves. I never dreamed that our server(Kael'thas), as well as most others, would be flooded with Legolas "wannabe's". I personally took my inspiration for the Elf from Elfquest, the comics I have been reading for many years. But, after awhile, and after we finally bought another game and another account, my husband wanted me to roll a Horde character to run along with him and his buddies. So I rolled a female Tauren Druid. Kickingbird-ya know, like the Medicine Man in "Dances With Wolves". (Standswithafist did not fit in the name choice!).

So now, he(Hookemhorns, Tauren Hunter) is level 50 and I am level 49. And I have about a dozen alts, just to be able to check out all the other races and classes. I love my druid. And I keep rerolling druid on alts. And I think if and when we reroll on a PvP server, I will be a Druid.

Anyway, for the most part I hate any PvP interaction. I hate BGs, cos I suck at them. I hate instances, unless it is only my husband and I running one alone, many levels below us. I hate dealing with other people in the game, because I've dealt with far too many jerkoffs. If it could be a "home game" like Diablo II was, but it isn't and it is damn fun and addicting. I don't need to be in MegaGuild so that we can run all the endgame instances and get all the Ubergear-I don't give a crap about that stuff. I just want to have fun. Being a druid, after hitting about lvl 45, I started getting whispers left and right to be the healer in such and such dungeon. Nope, not gonna do it(aside from being specced Feral!), so I turned off my whispers. I have an "/em is ignoring you" emote. Anywho....I actually spent most of the day today working on my website, cleaning the kitchen, and it is not even Tuesday!! (and only WoW players will get that one)

Well, it is almost 3pm, and hubby will be home soon. He sold a Headsplitter for 20gold last night, and his Big Iron Fishing Pole for 15g(my idea, thank you very much). Ooh, gotta save for that Uber or Epic or whatever the hell mount at lvl 60. Whatever.

Yeah, I'm back

Just a note to say that I can hardly believe it has been six months since the storm. I still cry when I hear stories or see photos about the Coast. Anxious to go back and visit. Sick of hearing about New Orleans, want to hear more people realize that Mississippi was far more devastated. I still have nightmares at times about visiting just weeks after the storm. I am glad my family has moved to another state. My heart goes out to those who are still there and are dealing with this on a daily basis. I couldn't do it.
