Miss me?…

Current Mood:Cool emoticon Cool

…yeah, I didn’t think so. Anyway, it’s been awhile so figured I’d make an update post. You know, the goings on in my oh so exciting and drama filled existence.

So as you may or may not know, we now have full custody of my sister’s kids. They’re adjusting well. It was made easier since they were living here already anyway.

Tayonna is still bad as hell, but she’s listening to me a little now. I’ve found if I ask her nicely to stop doing something, she listens to me a lot more than when I get loud. So she gets to hang out with me some now.

Tre’s pretty much the same as he’s always been. Oh and he’s much cooler now. Why you ask…trust me, you asked. Well, he really likes the movie Labyrinth. You know. the awesome movie with David Bowie, Jennifer Connelly, and the awesomeness of Jim Henson. I LOVED that movie as a kid. The real test of his cool-ocity will come when I introduce him to Dark Crystal.

Little Nevin, now known as Oogie, Yoogie, or Yoogie Bear is doing exceptionally well. Gained quite a bit of weight since we got him. Gaining almost a pound a week. Nearly a pound and a half this past week. There’s recent pics of all 3 of the kids on my myspace. Couldn’t put them on here cuz I don’t have my photo editing software on my mom’s computer.

As for she who shall not be named…I don’t know. I’ve said a total of maybe 10 words to her since shit went down. 5 of those 10 words consist of, “You wanna talk to Tre?” She’s oblivious. She can’t figure out why everyone is so upset with her. It’s a little sad. Makes me wonder sometimes. Anyway, her and her not so significant other must go to rehab. They also must both get jobs(at least 40 hours a week), and a house, by I think it was September. Otherwise they risk losing the kids forever and they’ll go up for adoption. Family gets first crack at them though, so nothing would really change for us thankfully. I couldn’t imagine the kids with some strange family.

On to more lighthearted goings-on. Took Tre to the movies Saturday. Allen, Drew, and Cody also came along for the free ride lol. We went and seen Horton Hears a Who. It was surprisingly good. A good number of laugh out loud moments. I’ll probably buy it when it comes out on DVD…you know, for the kids. Gotta say I was a little annoyed by the religious undertones. I like my mindless, fun, animated movies to be mindless, fun, and entertaining. I’ll go to church if I need a sermon. Or wait for the Mormon’s to show up…though I think me and my cousins chased them off for good. I’m long past being “saved”. Though I guess it fit in with the whole easter weekend.

Went to my grandparents the following day for the the aforementioned Easter. Decent time. Grilled some burgers, Tre and Tay got their easter egg hunt on, and I listened to music. Good day. I’ll get the easter pics up…eventually. Not sure if they’re any good, or how many. I didn’t take any.

As for me. I cope, I adapt, I survive, then I move on. I’m easy that way. If I can say any one thing about my family, it is that we’re survivors. We’ll get past this and soon as we think we’re in the clear, I’m sure something else will come up, and we’ll get past it as well…like we aways have.

F’n Alienware

Current Mood:Frustrated emoticon Frustrated

Both my laptops are now dead so I will be M.I.A. much more so now then even before. If you need to reach me, I’ll still be checking my email periodically thanks to my moms laptop. So don’t get upset if it takes me awhile to respond.

JazzaWokkeeZ…

Current Mood:Tired emoticon Tired

…continue to kill it on America’s Best Dance Crew.  The MTV crowd continues to show it’s stupidity by having Kaba Modern in the bottom half this week.  Status Quo is fun, but it’s time for them to go.  Just let Jamal from Status Quo join JabbaWokkeeZ.  I totally wanna hang out with him for a day.  He seems to have a lot of fun.

It’s a shame that BreakSk8 is at home, and SQ is still around.  They got screwed.  Dreamgirls for 5 dudes on skates?  Come on!  I smell a conspiracy!  BreakSk8 was easily the most consistent(and talented) crew not named JabbaWokkeeZ or Kaba Modern.  If the final two don’t come down to those two, I’ll…ummmm….well, I’ll do nothing, but MTV can fuck itself….even if the final two are Jabba and Kaba, MTV can still fuck itself.

I’m gonna stop typing now, before my computer freaks out and blows up.  Peace!

Alienware is ass part trois

Current Mood:Angry emoticon Angry & Frustrated emoticon Frustrated

Well it’s only been a few months and my laptop is again a $3500 brick. Exact same problem as last time. I’m dreading the call to customer support. One of the most inept groups of people ever. Last time I had to send it in twice due to their complete incompetence. So again, I may be in and out on here. My backup laptop…also an alienware is a complete pile. I’m lucky to get it started. It likes to randomly restart, flash an endless white screen, and overheats. Can’t wait to get a new one…likely a Dell…fuck Alienware!

UFC 82: Pride of a Champion

Spoiler alert for Allen…
.

Jon Fitch vs Chris Wilson - A close fight without a lot of action. Fitch wins via unanimous decision.

Yushin Okami vs Evan Tanner - I was rooting for Evan Tanner but knew it wasn’t likely to happen. Tanner’s been out of the game for 2 years, soul searching…and by soul searching, I mean drinking lots of beer and posting crazy drunken ramblings on his myspace blog. Okami finished it with a huge knee, knocking out the madman of Vegas.

Chris Leben vs Alessio Sakara - I hate Leben, but I hope he continues to win if only to get a rematch versus Silva and to be ultimately dismantled. Leben wins via wild brawling KO…decent match.

Heath Herring vs Cheick Kongo - Great first round, with some surprisingly good jiu jitsu by both men. Then round 2 came and we were subjected to Herring in side control hitting about 30 knees to Kongo’s side. Kongo…did nothing. 3rd round was more of the same only Herring hit about 50 knees to Kongo’s side. Some retard judge actually had Kongo winning the fight. Herring wins via split decision.

Anderson Silva vs Dan Henderson - The only reason I purchased the PPV. Silva is slowly rising to God like status. I really though Hendo had a chance, and after the first round I was even more convinced…then Silva lands a big knee, gets back control and that’s all she wrote as Silva slaps on a rear naked choke forcing Hendo to tap. Silva is unbeatable. Fucking awesome.

Got one bonus fight and it was fucking great. Josh Koscheck vs. Dustin Hazelett - Koscheck landed a big bomb KO’ing Hazelett. It was a fun fight.

I need a life

Current Mood:Indifferent emoticon Indifferent

I fricken’ played Dynasty Warriors 6 all day, minus little breaks to get caught up on Rock of Love II, and Scott Baio is 46 and Pregnant. Yep, that’s how great my life is. Thing is, I don’t mind it. People annoy me…and in general they suck. So while I need a life, I don’t really want one.

On the positive side of things, the Cali trip is officially back on. My Aunt Sally, Allen & Drew’s mom, the two I’m taking with me agreed and/or offered to keep the kids during that time. Not sure if we’ll be able to bring Tre now though. We might not be able to take him due to all the drama currently going on. I’m sure it won’t be the last time Tre gets screwed out of something thanks to his mother.

We’re gonna be away from home for about 2 weeks. 9 or 10 days in San Diego…if we can find things to do. I’m not big on beach activities, but I’m sure they’ll want to go check out a couple while we’re there. I’ll likely hang back at the hotel. Wheelchairs and sand don’t go all to well together. And surprisingly neither does swimming and quadriplegics lol. All I really care about is Comic-Con, the San Diego Zoo, and Sea World…well mostly.

Little Nevin is coming home tomorrow. They kept him a bit longer to run more tests after they found out how bad things were…and they were bad. He’s doing good though and putting on weight, so hopefully all is well.

Reality? Who’s reality, sure as hell ain’t mine.

Current Mood:Indifferent emoticon Indifferent

I submersed myself in reality tv today. Got caught up on Celebrity Rehab. Anybody runnin’ a pool on who will actually stay sober? I say it’s a clean sweep…and none of ‘em do. I like Mary Carey, but I don’t think she has a chance. I say Chyna’s dead by 2009 whether it be suicide or accidental OD. Ricco’s still a fuckin scumbag. If I had to bet, I’d put my money on Shifty…maybe Brigitte. Jaimee Foxworth is gonna get bombed out of her mind within a week. Jessica Sierra is a toss up. I’m leaning towards relapse, but then cleans her act up. It sure as hell doesn’t look promising for any of ‘em.

Also watched the BBC’s Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares. Not much commentary, other than the owner being a loser. Kudos to the head chef for being a stand-up guy willing to help troubled youth.

I just deleted my DVR recording of My Fair Brady. There are no redeeming qualities to that show. I’m ashamed for ever watching it. Just total crap.

Watched America’s Best Dance Crew Saturday or so. Again, I think the JabbaWockeeZ did the best in actually following the guidelines. I really liked Status Quo and Kaba Modern as well. I never liked Live in Color. Same thing every fricken’ week. BreakSk8 was kinda just there. And nobody really cares what Fysh N Chicks did. I’ll be shocked if they last another week.

Side note: Jayhawks killin’ Texas Tech…woohoo!

MP3 Saturday…or when I feel like it

Current Mood:Indifferent emoticon Indifferent

Today is “when I feel like it” as I forgot about it yesterday. It is also a bit of a change from my normal musical choices. I’ve posted plenty of hip-hop. Plenty of R&B. A decent amount of rock…I think. Today we get some good ‘ol Blues. Well, not really old, as I believe it was released in 2006. Either way, it is incredibly good. The artist died last year but I’m not too sure too many tears were shed as he was vilified in a very public divorce and later a big movie starring Angela Bassett playing the iconic Tina Turner. If you haven’t figured it out by now, you should probably just stop reading now…of course I’m pretty much done typing now so…do as you wish. Anyway, without further ado I give you the Grammy nominated artist Ike Turner. Not much of a man, but one hell of an artist.

My top 10 list of bodacious Betty’s Part II

Current Mood:Mischievous emoticon Mischievous

NSFW post incoming….

After a somewhat long delay I shall continue my bodacious Betty countdown. Coming in at number 7 is a woman who’s career, as far as I know, only consists of hosting a cable TV show on G4. She is Olivia Munn, and co-host of Attack of the Show. The only somewhat watchable show on the channel, other than Ninja Warrior. She wouldn’t have made my top 10, but then I saw her dressed as Princess Leia and she rocketed to number 7. And here she is…

Mmmmm, Leia.Mmmmm, Leia.Munn

Next up is another Hegre model. She is known as Jenya and Katie Fey. Perfect breastesses. Sorta looks like Katie Holmes before her indoctrination. She(Katie Holmes) would’ve made the list but Scientology is so not sexy. Anyway, some mild nudity is heading your way. As she is a nude model…but oh so damn hot. So at number 6 is Jenya!

Jenya…Fey?.Jenya…Fey?.Jenya…Fey?.Jenya…Fey?

And to wrap up the day, coming in at number 5 is someone who is apparently famous but I don’t know what for. I remember seeing her in something but I’ll be damned if I can remember what. All I know, is she is damn cute…and here she is, Miss Arielle Kebbel

Who?.Who care’s she’s hot!.I know, but who the hell is she?
