Kat is a trip on the television series “LA Ink” this isn’t the type of show that I would normally watch, but for some reason I keep ending up watching LA Ink here and there. It is a drama filled night time soap opera laced with leather and tattoos and foul language and some really freakie people!
Face Book
I’m planning on taking some time this weekend and creating a Face Book account. Face Book seems to be the wave of the future, I mean every one and I mean every one is talking about it. There just doesn’t seem to be any way around it. If you can’t beat them join them, right?
My Love for Real Life Murder Mystery
Guest post of the week by Bradley Guthrie
I’ve never been a real fan of true crime television. I didn’t want to hear about armed robberies, murders, and kidnappings at the end of my day. Then one day my brother introduced me to The First 48. In this show real life homicide detectives take us through 48 hours of a murder case. The catch being that if a suspect isn’t found within the first 48 hours of the investigation then the chances of solving the case are drastically cut.
The draw in for me was the fact that they show the true range of emotions of the investigators. You can tell they have a real emotional tie to the case and more than anything they want to see the grieving friends and family get closure. They are passionate about their jobs and it shows through in all they do. The interrogations are also shown, as well as witness interviews.
I find myself actually seeking the show out when I flip on my free satellite tv. I’ve spent hours trying to solve the cases along with the investigators, even crying along with friends and family members when interviewed. When they catch a murderer I chalk one up for the good guys. Maybe a change of profession is in order for me.
Comfort Zone Camp
I watched a story on the news about a camp designed to help kids that have lost a loved one. Comfort Zone Camp is in 5 states and is working wonders for hundreds of kids each year. It is so good to see a good story on the news for once.
Hopes & Dreams
I’ve always wanted to have a nice back or side yard all fixed up with all of the trimmings that are available these days for outdoor use. A nice 2 person hot tub, with a fully stocked bar, a nice sound system is a must. But what would be really awesome would be an outdoor TV to really top it off with. Of course it would need one of those outdoor tv enclosures that would protect it from all the elements that go with being outside. It is amazing what they have come up with, right?
It isn’t like I get a lot of company around the place but one day I’d like to be able to entertain the way I’d like to. Right now there is so much that needs to be done around this old farm and the house and all of the out buildings that it doesn’t leave much time or energy to hook up with many local folks. But I’ll keep trucking along as best as I can, who knows what the future will bring to me or to the home stead. Hopefully I have a few good years left in me to offer someone special. LOL
Willie Nelson
I have always been a Willie Nelson fan. I never seem to tire of hearing his songs and I’m grateful to YouTube.com for allowing me to listen to all of his wonderful music and watching the videos are a plus as well. One of my favorites of Willie’s is “I’ll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again” it isn’t one that you hear on the radio and I haven’t heard it in years, so I thought I’d post it here today.
Thank God for The Comedy Channel & Sinbad
Most people got to enjoy a three day weekend, with pay over the 4th of July. This isn’t the case for anyone who runs a farm, as I do. The work still needs to be done no matter what day or holiday it is. I did manage to cut the hours back just a bit and got to get in out of the heat that has been just crazy for the past couple of weeks. Our spring was cut short big time this year and we headed straight into the 90’s and the 100’s just like that.
I was glad that the Comedy Channel had nothing but comedians on all weekend long. I do believe that laughter is the best medicine and watching these stand up comedians gave me some decent laughter, which was really appreciated and needed over the weekend. Sinbad was the best of them all and I hope to see more of him. He hasn’t been around much lately and hopefully with make a serious come back once and for all.
Yesterday was Father’s Day June 20 2010
Well, yesterday was Father’s Day. Which meant another trip to the cemetery with another bouquet of flowers. The weather was good, and I sat for a while, but not as long as last time. In the past my Dad and I used to spend Father’s Day together fishing in the pond out in the back forty, so after staying a while in the cemetery I went back home, put on his fishing hat and shirt, grabbed his favorite fishing rod and went fishing. He would have wanted that. I didn’t catch anything, but that’s OK. I would’ve released it anyway.
Reba, No More
A year ago you could have seen the TV show “Reba” staring Reba McEntire at least 5 times each night on various cable channels. No I can’t find it anywhere. There is something about that fiery red head that really entertained me year after year. This hit sitcom lasted several years and the reruns were just as funny. I miss it.
All Work and No Play
My older sister is making plans to take the whole family to Florida this summer. She received a handsome refund check from the I.R.S. this year due to the tax credits and the stimulus package from President Obama and wants to take everyone away from all the hustle and bustle that live dishes out to each and every one of us. I’m up for that!
She has been researching Disney Tickets on the Internet, getting a head start on it all and taking her time in an effort to find the best deals. The Internet has brought making such a task a much easier one to tackle, but it still takes take to gather the information and digest it all. She is utilizing Orlandofuntickets.com right now and is sending out massive emails to the whole family, asking questions, picking every one’s brains on what they would like to do and what they would like to see while down there. Her kids have never been to a Walt Disney Theme Park and are anxious to meet Mickey Mouse and all their favorite Disney characters and want to spend a few days visiting there. While the older family members would like to visit the Animal Kingdom and the Epcot Center while we are down there.
