Just Tripping Along The Freakazoid

OK not a long blog today – hehe – going crazy – my three college courses end around the 12 of May plus my online VHS high school course – their projects are due the 8th so I have a buttload of grading - which is always hard and slow for me – and finishing up other things with in the next few weeks – DAMMMMMMMNNNN and PHEWWWWWW and I am so celebrating when this semester is over – it has been very long for a number of reasons related to work changes, social changes, family changes and just a lot of stuff Saw Meet the Robinsons last night – it was cute – little one and I had the run of the theater for a bit, the theater overall was empty – I guess with no big releases yet no one is up for a Sunday movie – but I liked the music – also started teaching little one how to throw popcorn up and catch it with your tongue - hehe ahhh those important life skills you pass on… next week I am teaching her the all important skills of sliding down a banister (hehe j/k that is not until she is 7 ;-)...

Ok – it seems most of the few people I call friends are either sick, not feeling good, having problems, stressed and depressed and life in general has brought out the nerf bat and begun beating on them So I dedicate, as a reminder I am always around and willing to do anything I can, a couple of songs… not sure they will help y'all right now, I wish I knew what would or you could tell me – I would do it in a snap – I am like that for my friends… So for you out there who read this – please take the lyrics to heart and know I am around and willing to help however Call Me When You Are Down (by Le Click – yes I like techno pop :P ) Call Me When You Are Down (by Le Click – yes I like techno pop :P ) Call me when you're down Call me when you need someone Call me when it's rough And you think that there's no one Call me when you're down... Love just for the understanding Things that love carries, what we're demanding Listen to the heart thats beating Forget about lust a...

OK - been ultra busy with work, school and took last week to go on vacation to Arizona to visit family as well as head out to Disneyland for a few days too - will have pictures and some comments as soon as I get caught back up with work and into more of my normal routine. I saw this bumper sticker on theback of a car while in Tucson and liked it (yes I like bumper stickers and love reading them and yes I have some stickers - actually they are in my back window, but I have some on my car too) Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens. - Jimi Hendrix - I also went and looked up more quote by Mr. Hendrix - I really like a bunch of them here are a few and the site I pulled them from I used to live in a room full of mirrors; all I could see was me. I take my spirit and I crash my mirrors, now the whole world is here for me to see. I was thinking too fast. It seems like a person has the tendency to get bored, because he always wants to try to do all these accomplishments. I'm gonna put a cu...

Watched the movie The Prestige – very interesting movie - kinda weird - liked Christian Bale and Michael Caine - not much of a soundtrack..... magic, illusion, reality and lie - how fun.... Some neat quotes Every great magic trick consists of three acts. The first act is called "The Pledge"; The magician shows you something ordinary, but of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn"; The magician makes his ordinary some thing do something extraordinary. Now if you're looking for the secret... you won't find it, that's why there's a third act called, "The Prestige"; this is the part with the twists and turns, where lives hang in the balance, and you see something shocking you've never seen before. Nikola Tesla: Things don't always go as planned, Mr. Angier. That's the beauty of science. Alfred Borden: You went half way around the world... you spent a fortune... you did terrible things... really terribl...

Some random thoughts from my Friday - listening to Gwen Stefani's latest CD in the car driving to drop of little one. The 6 and a ½ year old explains she liked the first song on the CD (Wind it Up) which the kid calls the yodel song because the song starts with Gwen doing a take on yodeling and using a bit from a kinda Sound of Music Like yodel song. She says she likes it because it is an action song. I go it is fast? And she is no, it has more action. I realize the song changes tempo a number of times, goes from the mock yodel to a rap kida, to other forms of singing and uses a few bridges – oh man it does have more "action" – Now I will listen to songs to see which have more action – do you know action songs? - helping a student who rushes in frantic to try and convert his PowerPoint for a presentation today from his version to one that works on the school computers. We be stylin' as we got him set – go us! - judging the science fair at the high school I work ...
