Any ideas for Summer party songs ?

 

The Devil went to Jamaica
He was looking to sell some weed
He was doin' fine, they were standing in line
It was excellent weed indeed

He came across a young man who was likewise peddling pot
and the devil slid down the beach and said "boy let me tell you what,

I guess you kinda figured I'm a reefer head of course
And after all this time, I guess that I'm a conessuire of sorts
Now your stuff smells ok, but this can tranquilize a horse
I bet a million in cash against your satsh that mines better then yours.

The boy said my names Johnny and you ain't smoked nothing yet
one hit of this grass'll kick your ass, you got yourself a bet.

Johnny role a ball of hash and make sure its the bomb
Cause the devils got the kinda stuff they smoke in vietnam
You'll get a million smackaroos in cash if you can cope
But if you can't the devil gets your dope

The devil packed a bong with a little ockopoco gold
And resin flew from his fingertips as he fired up his bowl
He filled that chamber all the way and he took a mighty hit
And as they passed it back and forth it gave them both a coughing fit

When the bowl was finished Johnny said hey man that stuff was great
But fill your lungs with some of this and prepare to vegetate

Cannibas sativa sweet mary jane
The devils in the back yard frying his brain
Zig zag filled with a diggidy dank
Hold on tight it'll hit you like a tank

The devil nodded off because he knew that he was stoned
And he asked if he could buy an ounce of the stuff that Johnny owned
Johnny said devil just come on back if you ever want to catch a buzz
I done told you once you son of a bitch mines the best there ever was

Fired up doobies one by one
Aint gonna stop till the bags done
Green as a bull frog sticky as glue
Granny do you get high yes I do

 

Believe it or not....

Lucy does NOT do drugs

 

 

Does anyone know why my pictures would disappear like they did?

I tried to upload them again into my gallery and it says they are already there.

They just disappeared from last night......including some of my emticons too.

HELP !!!!

 

UPDATE

Seems everyone is having the same problem.  It must be a blogstream thing.  I wrote Pioneer a note to let him know......

speakers on ...

COME ON

DO THE FRIDAY DANCE !

Oh, press play again for audio, I know you wanna..guilty pleasure perhaps?  hit it......

 

 

FIVE FRIDAY FUN FACTS !  

 

1) I have a subscription to People magazine.  I love the crossword puzzle because it is so easy......

 

2) My Irish Grandmother taught me two things, how to make scrambled eggs and how to make a screw driver....for breakfast!

Now I prefer a spicy Bloody Mary or a Mimosa.

 

 

3) Every Friday and Saturday night Cuban Husband buys me     Scratch-Offs to play.....I'll let you know when I win BIG!

 

4) I love going to rock concerts.  The summertime is big for me.  Sometimes I drag CH to two concerts on the weekends.

 

5) Cuban Husband sleeps on the left side, I sleep on the right side and our little boy sleeps in the middle of us in bed.  We never meant to have a "family bed" but it just turned out that way.  We actually love sleeping with our little boy.....

I have seen Def Leppard in their early days.  Steely Dan I saw at Giants Stadium and was the only fool standing up dancing !  CSNY I saw with back stage passes.  They were truly awesome.  Funny thing was, I wasn't even into going to the concert.  They are kinda ahead of my time.  I am so happy I was talked into it.  All that partying and they can still sing harmony like nobody's business.  Neil Young is an animal on guitar breaking strings all over the place.

I haven't seen any of the other bands before....

What do ya think? 

Oh, Miss Six....where are you ?

Are you going to any concerts this summer?

 

Thanks.....and don't forget to do the Friday Dance!

 

hmmmm

deja vu or insane in the membrane?

I think I may have posted these facts already...

 

PS

Is anyone else sick and tired of hearing about the Da Vinci code?

I read the book and loved it.

The movie is all hype and I was actually going to pay to see it.

Keep in mind I go to the movies about once every 3 years.

Now I will wait for video.....

But enough already !!!!!

 

 

 

Thursday, This & That

 

Hi y'all !

(that was for you Belle)

 

Just random stuff today....

 

 American Idol

....okay skip to # 2 if the show irritates you! 

I'm not going to comment on who won or not...but I just loved the show last night. It was fast paced and full of surprises.

 (Prince? oh yeah!) 

Of course being the blubbering idiot I cried the whole show. 

You'll be surprised what was my favorite part of the show, it was Burt Bacharach.  I just love him.  I think he is a hot old man and there isn't a song that he has written that I don't love.  He was one of People's Most Beautiful or Sexiest one year and I was thrilled!

And then having Dion walk on stage and sing with him, it was just cake!  I think he is the most talented song writer ever.  You can just tell when a song is his, he has such a unique style....love him!

What was your favorite surprise?

 

 Lost

I love the show Lost and basically I am still well....lost after viewing the finale last night. 

Yet I will go back for more torture next season.

Can anyone explain to me what the hell is going on with that show?

 

 Cuban Husband

My CH came back from a business trip last night from LA....and yes of course I missed him. 

He wasn't even home 5 minutes and walla walla bing bang.......he barely noticed I cut my hair shoulder length from half way down my back. 

And he didn't notice I replaced all the pub lights in the kitchen.  I have Christmas lights up all year intertwined with ivy......I call them pub lights and they make me happy....lol

So, what little thing makes you happy in your home?  I know all of you gardeners will say your gardens.  I haven't bought my flats yet.

 

 Memorial Day Weekend

You know how much I love the weekends, I look forward to calling into Shree's show or chatting in the Blogstream chat room with others under the influence of libations into the wee hours of the morning....right "T" ?  lol

This week is Fleet Week in NYC when ships come to port and you can go aboard them and take a look see. 

We can see them from NJ and then take the ferry over the harbour each year.  It's always a beautiful day.  I think we are going in on Saturday.  I will take lots of pix!

It's also great for single gals because there are a bunch of sea men (remember Sex & The City; semen?) walking around in their pressed whites.  My gosh they are just boys.....breaks my heart.

No matter if you are for or against the war, I hope you are flying the American flag high this weekend with pride.

We have to support the boys over there and bring them home soon...safely.

Sunday I have a Wiccan wedding.....my cousin is getting married to a witch. Love her!  She is also a sex phone operator part time from home.  She is very interesting to say the least!

 It's probably going to be similar to Moonsilver's wedding last weekend.  I can't wait to see what it will be like.....more pix for ya!

Has anyone heard from our little newlywed by the way?  Hey Moon get out of bed already !!!  What is she and Brian having a John and Yoko bed in ?

Hey Mum, go interview them two nuts!

 

 Court

CH went to our lawyer again today and "supposedly" we have court this Wed with his ex-wife. 

Long story short......we pay her $450 per week alimony....this is NOT CHILD SUPPORT either, their children are full grown (and do not speak to her may I add) and we are trying to put a stop to the alimony. 

Bottom line, we are broke and she sits on her ass all day and does nothing but party and harass us.

Added bonus her father passed away and was an account for Pfizer his whole life and left her millions in cash and stock. 

Supposedly she ONLY has 750 thousand left of it, the poor baby. 

Cross your fingers and toes and say a novena for us please. 

We haven't had a vacation in 2 years and we struggle pay check to pay check.  CH works two jobs to support her!

 

My Brother

Spent time with my brother and father today.  My brother is mentally challenged and he is close to 400 lbs.  We got into it because I told him I would not buy him junk from the grocery store. 

It's a vicious cycle with him.  He is looking for a job and said no one will hire him.  I told him he has to loose weight, people are not going to hire him looking like that (and he sometimes needs to be told to bathe and wash clothes). 

I told him life is not fair but this is how it is........he's like a little boy. 

All I can do is try.

 

 The Blogger Enquirer

Sunday's ace reporter will be Mum, I checked in with her today and she is on the story....I can't wait to see what she has !

 

Girl Preacher

If you talk the talk....it's time to walk the walk..

GP asked me to help out with this cause.

TUESDAY QUESTION

Are you stressed?

 

What is Stress?

Stress is the "wear and tear" our bodies experience as we adjust to our continually changing environment; it has physical and emotional effects on us and can create positive or negative feelings.

As a positive influence, stress can help compel us to action; it can result in a new awareness and an exciting new perspective.

As a negative influence, it can result in feelings of distrust, rejection, anger, and depression, which in turn can lead to health problems such as headaches, upset stomach, rashes, insomnia, ulcers, high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. With the death of a loved one, the birth of a child, a job promotion, or a new relationship, we experience stress as we readjust our lives.

In so adjusting to different circumstances, stress will help or hinder us depending on how we react to it.

***************************

What prompted me to ask this question is that I hate answering the phone, that is what stresses me out.  When my phone rings, my eyes automatically roll and I let out a uh-oh sigh.

Cuban Husband, my parents, my family, my friends, even my own children are upset with me because I rarely pick up the phone.

It has gotten to the point where I don't even look at my caller id to select who I want to speak to. 

It has gotten to the point where days go by before I check my messages.

I finally explained it to CH this way; no one calls with good news anymore.  It's always bad news or complaints or aches and pains.  A lot of time it is    "I NEED"  or  "I WANT".

I have a hard enough time dealing with my own stresses in life without hearing even more, until I am ready, on my own terms.

I guess that is why I love blogging.  I choose who I want to speak to, and who I want to lend a shoulder to and when.

And most important it is reciprical...

 

********************

 

Today's Calls:

1) - CH panicking cause I didn't pick up my cell and he was afraid I got into a car accident.  He is away on business and is terrified something terrible will happen.

2) - My brother who is almost 400 lbs. is complaining that he has no food in the house.

3) - A family member has to quit college because her mother donates most of the family income to the church. 

4) - Someone is scared because her little boy is beginning to walk and she is a nervous wreck about baby proofing the home.  Her husband is an alcoholic, her aunt is in a mental institute and she needs money.

5) - A close family member was diagnosed with prostate cancer today.  I am the only one who knows.

 

These are just the select few calls I chose to pick up today.

 

*****************

So my question is, is serenity just an illusion?

Is it so far out of reach that we cannot enjoy the  many blessings we do have?

Is there really a IF we had our health and IF we had more money and IF we had more time and IF my parents were better and IF my spouse only listened more and IF I was thinner, etc......we could be happy?

 

****************

 

How do you cope with stress in your life?

Do you hide like me or face it dead on?

 

****************

 

I always try remind myself there are others who have it a lot worse than me and I should feel blessed with all I do have.

 

I wish you all serenity, my friends....
