A&E, Please Stop Encouraging Her

article-1023635-017463F600000578-837_468x737Maybe I’m behind, but I just heard that A&E has offered Kirstie Alley a new reality show. I know, I know. I’m thinking the same thing …..what took them so long? I mean, who doesn’t care about the life and struggles of Kirstie Alley? It’s gonna be a great show right? Anything from the channel that brought us what I like to refer to as “The Redneck Round-up” or “White Trash Jamboree” or as you may know it, Dog the Bounty Hunter. Or who can forget, Extreme Paranormal and Parking Wars? Man these guys are good. I can’t change the channel already. A show about 40 year olds, that live in their mom’s basement and lost their virginity to a Star Wars poster and chase ghosts is genius. And don’t even get me started on how awesome the edge-of-your-seat drama Parking Wars is. Will the meter expire, or wont it. Now that’s good TV.

And now …. a new show about Kirstie Alley. The show is supposed to be about Kirstie being a single mom with two teenagers in Hollywood. That is, until she gets hungry again and eats them both. The network hasn’t named the soon to be reality hit, but I have a couple suggestions. Law & Order: Special Orders Unit; Hell On Kitchens; The Orifice; Chicken BONES; HEROES Sandwiches; CSI McDonalds; and my favorite, Two and a Half Women.

You like me … you really, really like me …

Cover Your @$$!

D2C03DEB0AA54572A8CEA644DCED8174Here’s a little something to think about. I wish I could take credit for this one, but it was given to me.

One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well.. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone’s amazement he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well, and happily trotted off!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, and never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

Free your heart from hatred – Forgive.

Free your mind from worries – Most worries never happen.

Live simply and appreciate what you have.

Give more. Expect less


NOW ……. Enough of that crap. The donkey later came back, and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected and the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.

When you try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you.

That “DOESN’T” Make Sense To Me

man-thinkingI’m like everyone else. I have an opinion on just about everything. But I’m smart enough to know that it doesn’t always make me right. But that never stops me from telling everybody how I feel. But there a few things that have been bothering me. Things I just can’t understand. Maybe some of you can help me.

The first thing is sweet tea. I love sweet tea. Some of you not from the south may not understand, but it is what fuels us southerners. Sweet tea I understand. Unsweet tea …. not so much. Now I have what the doctors like to refer to as a little bit of a weight problem. So to cut back, I try unsweet tea sometimes and try to add just a little sugar to it. Here’s my problem. No matter how much sugar you add to unsweet tea, it NEVER becomes sweet tea. Why? How? You can add a cup of sugar to a glass of unsweet tea and it still taste like piss.

If you’ve read ANY of my posts, you know I am a HUGE football fan(not intended as a fat joke). I love football. But something has bothered me for years. Icing the kicker. What the heck? The kicker? The game is on the line and the one guy you want to “ice” is the kicker? Sitting on the bench playing Dungeon and Dragons with the punter hasn’t “iced” him enough. If the dude gets any colder he’d be dead. Here’s an idea, ice the other teams quarterback. If you had stopped him, chances are you wouldn’t need your freakin’ kicker to bail you out.

And finally, the show Murder She Wrote. Is it just me ore does anyone else think Angela Lansbury is a serial killer. Come on! Nobody is that unlucky. Everywhere that woman goes … some poor smuck dies. Wake up people. Here’s an idea. Stop inviting that old bat to dinner and maybe all your friends will stop dying.

Well, I’ll stop complaining for now. My beautiful wife and I have a weekend with no kids. I am really looking forward to spending time with her. She really is the greatest woman I know and I love her with all my heart. Why she is with me, I have no clue. I hope all of you have a great weekend too.

Did I Miss Something?

I’m sitting watching a football game (shut up, I know football consumes me in the fall) and a commercial came on that confused me. Why am I watching commercials? Usually I’ll pause live TV and waste about fifteen minutes doing whatever so I can fast forward through the commercials, but I didn’t do it this time. The commercial was for the ED drug Cialis. Now I understand what the drug is for…… but why are they sitting in bathtubs …… outside? I don’t get it. Because apparently nothing says shooting pool with a rope like outdoor plumbing.

And the side effects are crazy. Hearing loss ….”she said NO!“. Loss of vision ….”That’s a huge bit….”. Back and muscle pain …. you’re 70 years old and you are having sex … EVERYTHING should hurt. You’re lucky if you don’t break a hip. Runny nose …. I’m not even going there. Call a doctor if your erection lasts longer than 4 hours ….. I’m calling EVERYBODY if my erection lasts longer than 4 hours. And I think possibly the craziest thing, and I quote, “Cialis does not serve as a male form of birth control“. Really? Maybe they should look into adding birth control ingredients to it though. If you seriously thought your chubby juice would keep you from slipping one past the goalie, then maybe you shouldn’t reproduce anymore. The official Cialis website also says “Drinking too much alcohol can increase your chances of getting a headache or getting dizzy, increasing your heart rate, or lowering your blood pressure” or lowering your ability to keep your pants on and NOT lay in the front yard screaming “Ask me what time it is…. I’m a sun dial!

What Were You Thinking?

abc_logo_gloass I’m no high paid “Television Executive”, but I think you screwed up ABC. Just as I’m getting into two of your new programs, you, in all your infinite wisdom, decide to move them to a new night and time. No big deal you say? Yes it is a big deal, because the new night and times already host some of my other favorite shows. DVR them you say? I can only DVR two programs at one time. Which means the third show is out of luck.

It is only about three weeks into the fall season, so I haven’t gotten too attached to the new shows yet, but that’s not the point. The point is, I don’t understand the mentality behind attempting to fix something that isn’t broken. ABC is already the Chicago of the Olympic Cities. Are you trying to drive away the handful of viewers you have left? Apparently ABC stands for All But Closed. Do you NOT want people to watch your network ABC? You are already a distant fourth to FOX, CBS, and NBC. Seems like to me, you would place shows in time slots that would give them the best chance for success, not up against powerhouses like GLEE, LAW & ORDER, CRIMINAL MINDS, BONES, COMMUNITY, PARKS AND RECREATION, and SURVIVOR: DETRIOT SAMOA. What’s wrong with Monday? Do we need 2 hours of Dancing With the Stars? Do we really need 1 hour for that matter? What about Tuesday night? I’m pretty sure you could beat The Biggest Loser. I can’t even watch that show. First of all, if that Jillian yelled at me like that, I’d punch her right in the fun bags. Second, there’s something about watching fat people run on a treadmill while I sit in my recliner and eat snacks, makes me feel guilty. Friday night? Saturday night? Pretty much any night BUT Wednesday or Thursday. The only two nights of the week your shows are doomed to fail, just happens to be the two nights you pick? Was there some kind of Board meeting? Was there a vote? A vote of the Norwegian Parliament? You basically had a 5 out of 7 chance. That’s a 70% chance that you would pick one of the best nights for Nielsen ratings domination. Way to go eggheads. You missed.

modern-family I guess I just needed to vent. I’m not saying I’m a die hard Flash Forward fan already, but I would like to see what the heck that stupid kangaroo had to do with the plot. And I want to know if Kumar actually dies or avoids his own death. Now I may never know. And the new show Modern Family was really funny. And it kinda felt like a Married with Children Reunion on my DVR every week. With Ed O’Neil starring in Modern Family and Katey Sagal starring in Sons of Anarchy, it just feels right. Since I’m on the subject, 1989 Katey Sagal vs. 2009 Katey Sagal? And the winner is …. 2009 Katey Sagal. Twenty years plus copious amounts of skin tight leather = SMOKING HOT. You know what they say, “The older the berry the sweeter the ….. soa_katey_sagal Ok, I got distracted and off the subject. My point is, ABC, you’ll never catch up to the other networks until …. well, until you hire me, pay me millions, and allow me to make these type decisions for you. Because let’s face it, you are obviously not capable of handling these things yourself.  So call me before the CW makes you their …. well, you know.

I’m Just Sayin’

7I'm Just Sayin' SundayUsually on Sunday I step out and use my I’m Just Sayin’ to sound off on someone or something that has caught my eye. Well, this week I’m going to sound off on …..  myself. Yesterday was my 100th post. The only problem with that is I started my blog on August the 10th of this year. That means that I have been posting entirely too much. I do not want to get myself burnt out. I really enjoy blogging, but like anything else in life, moderation is the key. So beginning this week I am going to slow down a bit. My goal is to post about 3 times a week. I do not want to sacrifice quality for quantity. I’m still in the process of deciding which daily themes I want to continue. Some of them are really fun to do. If you have a favorite theme or a suggestion, let me know. And again I just want to say thank you for taking time to read my nonsense. If you like it, please tell a friend, if you don’t like it, tell me. I hope everyone has a great week.

My 100th Post!

AwardOscarWow! I can’t believe this is really happening to me. This is so unexpected. I don’t know what say. I want to say thank you to the Academy and everyone that voted for me. Oh, and first and most importantly, I want to thank God, without him I wouldn’t have the ability to type out my stupidity. I want to thank my wife. If she had not been ignoring me on the couch all those nights, I would have never known what blogging was. I want to thank my children. I owe a lot of my AAR (Adult-Acquired Retardation) to them. I keep waiting on Kanye West to burst into my living room and snatch my laptop away from me screaming “Ima let ya finish dawg, but Mommy wants Vodka had 100 blog posts waaaaay before you and…”.

This is just absolutely amazing. Who would have thought I would be standing here today? I was born a poor black child in Mississippi, and look at me now. Two months ago today when I first started this blog, I thought that no one would ever want to hear what I had to say. Why would anyone care about my thoughts, my views, or my opinions? Well, …. six of you proved me wrong. Ok, ok, the producers are telling me to wrap it up. So I want to say thanks again to all my family, friends, fans and everyone that has made this moment possible. I love you all! God Bless and drive home safely!

Freakin’ Friday

5Freakin FridayIt’s Freakin’ Friday people! Can I get a WOOT WOOT!?!?! This week went by pretty fast. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I’ve been really busy this week. I’m not sure next week is gonna be any better, but next week will happen next week. For now, I’m taking a 3 day weekend. So I’m sitting at home on my big fat arce, starring at my beautiful wife, thinking how lucky she is I am to have found such a wonderful spouse.  I think The Cure said it best.

I don’t care if Monday’s blue
Tuesday’s grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don’t care about you
It’s Friday, I’m in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn’t even start
It’s Friday I’m in love

Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate…

I don’t care if Mondays black
Tuesday, Wednesday – heart attack
Thursday, never looking back
It’s Friday, I’m in love

Monday, you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday – watch the walls instead
It’s Friday, I’m in love

Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate…

Dressed up to the eyes
It’s a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a sheik
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It’s such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It’s Friday, I’m in love

I don’t care if Monday’s blue
Tuesday’s grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don’t care about you
It’s Friday, I’m in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn’t even start
It’s Friday I’m in love

Have a great weekend everybody. Don’t forget to remind that special someone how lucky they are much you love them.

Cold and Flu Prevention Tips

ManCoughingC0801_8With all the talk about the dreaded Swine Flu, I felt it appropriate for me to do my part and help out. Here are some tips to help keep you  stay safe and germ free this winter flu season courtesy of the ONION NEWS NETWORK. And after all, if we can’t trust them, then who can we trust?
1. Sneezing into a handkerchief just redirects germs back at you. Always sneeze outward so as to shoot germs as far across the room as possible.
2. Pack your sinus cavities with Vicks Vap-O-Rub to fully mentholate your respiratory system.
3. Do not blow your stuffed nose into tissues—this is a myth! Always suck your phlegm into the back of your throat and swallow it in great, goblike mouthfuls.
4. You don’t have to subject yourself to other people’s germs. If you see someone who appears to have a cold or fever, contact your local police department.
5. To prevent infections, have sick people cough into your food. This light “inoculative” dose of germs will boost your body’s defenses against a full-blown infection later.
6. If you are a sickly, anemic, weak person, you have a higher susceptibility
to colds and flu. Try not to be such a pansy-ass.
7. Sometimes, a severe respiratory infection will cause the lungs to fill with fluid. If this occurs, flush your lungs repeatedly with boiling hot water to clear them. A hose down your windpipe will help get around the gag reflex.
8. Make sure your HMO package covers visits to the Halls Of Medicine.
9. The flu is an extremely contagious, life-threatening disease. Flu sufferers should be either shot with a silver bullet or tortured to death by a professionally shriven, church-appointed excruciator.
10. To keep warm in the winter, replace your blood with mom’s homemade chicken soup. Noodles should be no greater than one millimeter thick to prevent coronary blockage.
11. Remember: Your body produces phlegm for a reason. Always save your mucous, and keep it near you in jars at all times.
12. Germs generally enter the body through the skin. To protect you from infection, shave yours off.
13. Zinc and Vitamin C help fight colds. Vitamin C can be found in oranges, but zinc is a semi-precious metal found only in Africa. If symptoms persist, organize a jungle safari to seek out the fabled Zinc Mines of Sugolahara.

Have a safe Winter.
