Connections

The connection here in the internet cafe is really slow. It's pretty discouraging. I found this great song on You Tube by a band that our family used to listen to, especially on Sundays. All the LP records came out. It turned out, years later I found out that one of my closest friends KNOWS this band and they used to go to her house and stuff, I guess I was just never around. It's so weird! I love this song and this band.

Autistic look at the world

I know that this is in part how my son views things, even though I can't really communicate with him. He talks all the time, but...about "nothing". His brain catalogues things and then he wants to repeat his lists. Part of this ritual includes me or his brother. We HAVE to respond with certain words at certain times or he starts all over again, or throws major tantrums. I think that he sees himself as a machine- person. He's been obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine, I think he really relates to a machine with rigid clean lines and functions, but then it has a human face. My son is also quite lovey and wants hugs a lot. They are on his terms, though. Kind of the way a cat is.

Donald Trump One Of The Most Awesome Interviews I've Ever Seen

This is one of the most awesome interviews I've ever seen. Catharsis.

Belly Laughs

This still makes me laugh SO hard. It's worth watching.

I have more

to say about teaching and experiences here. However, I'm currently mourning the end of my job. So I think about it and then I'm like...nyah. Not yet.
Here's a song for you...I know I'm in the Philippines and not Thailand, but it reminds me of being over here and it's fun.

See the next post down for where I am lately.

If you miss me...

Go to My Generation Museum, I'm over at my other blog posting stuff.

My Generation Museum

One More Reason

That I can't/won't marry Brad Pitt. I guess he's banned from China because of that Seven Monkeys in Tibet movie, or whatever it was. I'm the quintessential China Girl, so...no way Brad. My other reason was that...I had a fear if I got together with him he would dump me for someone else. These are the things that keep me up at night.

Awesome video. Bowie!

Leave Dog Alone

I'm just checking in really quickly, here. Nothing much new going on. I did just spend a whole day out talking to people and visiting them in a beautiful area here with lots of animals and such. Very nice.

Stuff from the news, one: Leave Dog the Bounty Hunter alone. He's fine. If all rednecks in the US were like him, it'd be a near perfect place.

Two: Dr. Phil, your show is not the center of the universe, get over yourself. Dog has been through a lot. You spring a show on him and he's supposed to show up suddenly to appease you. Whatever.

Three: People who criticize Steve Irwin don't have two brain cells to rub together. Also: people who think Jeff Corwin is gay don't have two brain cells to rub together either.

Four: Jerry Seinfeld...love your show. We're a family that buys all the dvd sets of Seinfeld and watches all the extras and stuff...message for you: You came off like a big jerk on Letterman and Larry King in my opinion. There's no reason for you to call the author of the other children's cook book "a wacko" who's "coming out of the woodwork". I was ashamed for you.

And that's about it of late.

Love Song

...kind of debating on whether I should tell the story behind this or not...

Yes!

Answer to questions: I'm staying here in the Philippines until I close a deal. Who knows when...and the blog and MySpace are "forever". This week I've been at home under the weather and we've had a couple of power outages and no running water for a bit. So the blog has sat for a few days, but you know I'm the mad updater...so don't worry.

My Sentiments Exactly

So I call Sean Hannity an Asshat, but I guess I'm no radical there. Here's a funny clip.

Frasier on Voyager

My son will love to see this- two of his favorite shows combined!

Pop Quiz!

Who said this?

“I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.”

Or this?
“I don’t know where he is. I’ll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him.”

Or this?

“Deep in my heart I know the man’s on the run, if he’s alive at all…I just don’t spend much time on it, really, to be honest with you.”

And who disbanded the CIA unit dedicated to finding bin Laden?
Just Checking!

Remember the hostages?

If you look back in my blog, I have one titled "excuse me?" when some hostages were killed in Afghanistan, and I ranted about the liars in the Bush administration claiming that they are fighting terrorism "over there". When Bush wanted to invade Iraq...Lots of folks said, hey what about Afghanistan? Here's a little news clip to show how Bush supporters feel.

So Afghanistan is going swimmingly folks...by the way this is old...but that was their position. And Ann says there's no need to capture Osama Bin Ladin.

Um...I don't even know what to title this.

I was on You Tube watching clips of "idiots" and "dumbasses" on Wheel Of Fortune as they are called in the video titles. A couple of the clips feature black women. So of course, the caliber of You Tube commenters shines through: I'm reading comments like "Why are all the idiots black people?" Of course they get yelled at by other commenters.

Then I saw this gem! Tune in rednecks...this one's for you. And for what it's worth...this is by far more idiotic than all the other clips.
