HERE WE GO OILERS - HERE WE GO!!

OK, so Vancouver MAY or MAY not have squeeked a couple of wins off us......
but tonight IS OUR NIGHT....

So Grab a cold one and cheer on the Oil, i know i will......

BANNED IN THE USA......

Ok now i am just putting this out there, and i am going strickly on what i have heard, i do not have founded evidence on some of it, so if you would like to comment and inform- please do so, i also value opinions - this is why I choose to blog......

I have always known that great minds think a like and as i planned this blog in my head, then checked my friends blog's i see that it is true.

I talked to Amy this morning about my discovery regarding the new Dixie Chicks song "Not Ready to Make Nice" much like her i thought it was about a jilted lover etc.....
As i listed further i realized that it wasn't about a Love at all, no it was about the man the Americans call a Leader "Mr. George W.Bush" comments were made by Dixie Chicks front woman Natalie Maines a few years back (2001 i believe) that stated and i am paraphrasing here "I am embarassed to be from the same state (Texas) as George Bush" and were instantly condemned by the American People and radio stations soon followed suit, they were slagged everywhere: radio, tv, magazines. They issued a public apology- but that was not enough.....



But like Amy i respect the fact they have NOT backed down on their position on George Bush and his eternal search for WMD'S and his stand on War in general.

Now here is where i get perplexed.

Kanye West can on National Television, during what i believe was a telethon for Katrina victims, say is no uncertain terms "GEORGE BUSH DOES NOT CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE" and what do they do?? Well they promote his song Golddigger even more- Naturally.





WHOARETHESEPEOPLE????

for the record i will continue to support the dixie chicks for their raw talent and values....

the Lyrics:

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

I’m through with doubt
There’s nothing left for me to figure out
I’ve paid a price
And I’ll keep paying

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I know you said
Can’t you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kind of like it

I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’
It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they’d write me a letter
Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

THE LAS VEGAS COUNTDOWN BEGINS......

The yearly countdown begins.....
this will be my 4th year in a row, and i cant wait.....as usual.
I cannot believe that people actually can utter the words "I hate Vegas" whoarethesepeople?? how can you hate +40, endless things to do? free drinks, suntanning, live shows, free shows, shopping and no clocks.....i mean seriously?

I am betting the people that HATE it so much are the ones that lost a car or house payment and also HATE the sun.

We go for a pool tournament so in total we are there 2 weeks, love it....
until then.....the countdown is in progress 2 months and counting.....

American Idol and 24 have consumed me....

Now i have had some feedback that there is too much American idol on my blog- well suck it up......

i will start off with our 24 addiction, it was a Friday 12 days ago when Mike and i were minding our own business when our "best friends" Amy and Chis came over with season 1 of 24.....we started watching it at about 11pm......as you may or may not know 24 is chopped up like this, Jack Bauer is a government agent working with CTU ( Counter Terrorist Unit) each season is based on a 24 hour span- ( yes smarty hence the name 24) so .....anyway episode 1- kinda catchy can see why people watch it, episode 2 you can actually feel the heroine shooting from your TV screen into your mind- you cant stop watching, it's always ONE MORE ....ONE MORE.....ONE MORE......AAAAAHHHHHH- needless to say it is a great show, and in 12 days we have polished off the whole first season ( yes 24 episodes) and half of the second ( mmm hmmm 12) so what i have to say to Jack Bauer and the crew is- i dont eat because of you, rarely bathe, and have now starting having dreams about Jack......
If you havent seen it , rent it, buy it- get involved- to be honest i cant see how someone could wait a whole week.......
DO NOT READ THE NOTES ON THE BACK OF THE BOX IF YOU BUY THEM - TRUST ME YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!





ooooh and before i forget.....AMERICA IDOL AXE PICK.....



as much as i hate Kellie Pickler and Kevin i think Bucky is gone tonight, hope America doesn't ruin my record of predictions!!

BUH - BYE

ok so, let me start off by saying "THANK JEBUS" Brenna Gethers is gone.

So this weeks Chops are a little harder to get ( yes i know i was WAY off with the guys last week, but pretty dead on with the girls....)

So Let's start with Kellie, i think it is unfortunate that she will probably be in this competition a lot longer than she should be- she is average at best, and her farm girl stupidity is painful.....this is another i wish, but am not betting on it....




Kinnik- be thankful that Heather Cox was a smidge shittier than you and that you got the chance to destroy one of the best songs ever this week- Beat it- please stop singing.......no i mean it, shut up.





Ayla - I actually really enjoyed you for the first couple weeks, you surprised me with picking hard songs - by powerful artists and making them enjoyable- this weeks performance showed a weakness, i dont think that means you are not talented, i think that you picked a horrible song, and the stronger singers were just a lot better than you this week....sorry!





Kevin- cute is over, it is no longer amusing- I am sure disney can use another voice over actor/singer...bye....ok the lisp is cute.





Will- i would have to say i would get rid of Bucky over you, but now that all the Ladies know he is an identical twin ( urrrp*) you MAY just be in trouble.....he has Arkansas Vote for sure.....






these are my predictions.....Cheers.

4 YEARS..........

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABY!
You rock my universe......still. I Love You.









Better Together

There is no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
And no song that I could sing but I can try for your heart
And our dreams and they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it’s so hard?
It’s not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving
I’ll tell you one thing, it’s always better when we’re together

It’s always better when we’re together
We’ll look at the stars when we’re together
It’s always better when we’re together
It’s always better when we’re together

And all of these moments just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they’ll be gone when the morning light sings
Or brings new things for tomorrow night you see
That they’ll be gone too, too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene
I’d be under the impression I was somewhere in between
With only two, just me and you, not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be we’ll sit beneath the mango tree now

It’s always better when we’re together
We’re somewhere in between together
Well it’s always better when we’re together
It’s always better when we’re together

I believe in memories they look so pretty when I sleep
And when I wake up you look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time
And there is no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We’re better together

There are 2 days remaining until my 4 year anniversary with Mikey.....
We shall see what he does with his time, the nice girl that i am i have decided to give him a couple options of what to get for me!!

(Happy Birthday Mama Angel!!)
i miss you and love you lots!

Round 2 of the cuts.....

So i am cutting it close getting in my predictions in for tonights cuts.....
if only i could vote i would make sure that i had some imput but instead i have to sit by update the blog.

Although Kevin is capturing the hearts of girls with lisps across America i think that his stint in american idol should be coming to an end....
Bucky.....let's be serious, he isn't half talented enough to be in this far- he should be thankful that he was missed the first round of cuts......
My prediction on the women remains the same- Kinnik and Heather......


Now let's take a look at last night's show......my predicition and hopes for Chris remain....but these are the three that i think we should all keep a close eye on.....
