Sunday Confession

I hate no-see-ums and mosquitos.

And this stuff because it did absolutely nothing.

Suckit Saturday???

Haven't decided what to do on Saturdays yet, but it'll be whatever I want it to be dammit.

We're headed out to Sebastian Inlet today to go camping, so here's a photo of the neighborhood hens I'd posted a message about on facebook after that crazyass storm we had on 3/30.

And now the neighbor ladies (hens) are out surveying the damage.

Snoop Dogg-Doggumentary

Welcome to the first Friday Jams!!

Here's the damn deal.

I pick an album to rock out on a Friday with & my favorite song from that album will be linked to at the beginning so your earholes will be just as entertained as your eyeballs as you keep reading.

Consider it interactively multitasking.

You're welcome.

When I post one of your favorite albums - post your favorite song from that album/artist in the comments.

Cuz sharin' is karen and in a year we'll all have a badass playlist that we all contributed to.

Shut up, it'll be fun.

Now that all that crap is out of the way....

I can't stop bobbin' my head to this damn album lately.*

Which is perfect because of last summer's addiction to old Snoop & Dre while sitting around the pool or going to the beach.

Now there's more to add to that for this summer.

And this new one flows really nice with the old stuff.*

Plus, there's Willie Nelson AND Bootsy Collins and there is no possible way on this greenish,blueish,brownishEARF that you can keep from smiling when you hear Boosty say in his Bootsy way "baby" or "mama" which usually sounds like it starts with "b".

Its fuckin' Friday, baby.....and happy hours are only hours away, bmama.

____________________________

*There is one exception. The Kanye song made me stop bobbin' in my head bobbin' tracks. It was so bad my neck was confused. Also, it does not flow nicely with the old stuff. His sound is too emo to blend with gfunk.

Neither does Wet. So that's 2 exceptions. whatever.

And Willie (Not Nelson) - as far as the RKelly song goes: Yeah, its RKelly & a stupid song but the beat is pretty bangin'.

____________________________

ALSO: I dare you to listen to any Snoop Dogg song while looking at this face and fail to understand why his name is Snoop.

BadA$$ 4Life.

A Very Special Thanks Goes Out To

The two treadmill ladies who talked through almost the entire second half of Megamind in the cardio theater at the gym the morning of 4/13.

Nevermind the fact that there's a whole massive EMPTY gym *points with an exaggerated flail* OUT THERE that ISN'T watching a movie where you can talk and talk and talk your little old hearts out without forcing a small room with a handful of people watching a movie to listen to your droning on.

But, seriously, thank you Loud Ladies Gabbington, for telling me & the 3 other people in the theater where all of your jewelry is in your closet & catching us up on the past week of your lives.

Back To Normal, I Guess & Other News

You may or may not have noticed that we're in mid April and I haven't blogged much.

Pretty sure you didn't care.

But I'll tell you why anyway.

DAY JOB!!

There's a funny little phenomenon that happens in the corporate/sales world every 3rd month.

Its called End of Quarter or EOQ.

During the last 2 weeks of every 3rd month, everyone in sales & sales operations runs around like bees are chasing them as they try to scramble & close their larger deals that have been rotating in the sales cycle for months on end.

If we get these deals in just before the buzzer on the final day - it makes people look like heroes.

If we get these same sort of deals in at the beginning of the quarter, people don't make as big of a deal about it.

I don't know why this happens - but it does.

Consistently.

Every.

Third.

Month.

So, between March 21 & April 1, I worked damn near close to 160hrs.

There's not a whole lot to talk about when one is working that much.

All work and no play makes Karen a BoringAssBitch.

The only fun that was had during the weeks in there was a dinner date to see Animal House outside at Enzian (& not counting weekend funs like Playlist Live, etc).

Then we had a crazy ass storm that knocked our power out for 2 or 3 days and the crazy ass hours I would've spent working from home, I had to work at the office.

*huff*

So last week, when the dust was settling from EOQ.....I started to get sick with a head cold.

Lots of sleep and chicken soups later, I feel much better & can finally breathe through BOTH of my nostrils. Although, this phlegm is STILL annoying the snot out of me.

....haha....snot, get it?

With us now caught up....I've recently been brainstorming about how fuckin' rad it would be to blog more consistently and thought it might be easier if it were mapped out.

Such as:

Sunday Confessions.

Movie Monday.

Youtube Tuesday.

Current Event Wednesday.

Thursday Thank Yous.

Friday Jams.

Saturday-day off?? or something completely random.

Haven't quite decided yet but that's what I've come up with so far and it may or may not start tomorrow.

Only one way to find out how it'll go, you know.

The suspense has GOT to be absolutely killing you.

If it goes well & I can keep up with it, this may turn into a vlog.

HOLY CRAP - YOU MIGHT GET TO SEE MY FACE!!

....maybe....

We can cross that bridge when we get to it.

The MiniMullet

I'm pretty sure this counts.

I Am A YouTube Nerd

I watch a lot of crap on youtube.

I also watch a lot of not crap on youtube.

We've all been aware of youtube and everyone's seen some retarded cat video or a baby doing something funny or a dude getting hit in the balls or a snippet of some Japanese game show.

But about 2 years ago (and I was late to the party), I stumbled across this video.

Which took me to one of this kid's videos.

Then I saw these guys doing their local commercials.

And then I found one of this fella's videos.

Then this kid popped up.

Which lead me to this girl and this girl (in a round about way).

Which took me to this guy.

And that's only a handful of my favorites.

I haven't even mentioned these guys or these folks or this guy or this guy or this girl.

And for my cousins - there's always this guy.

In a nutshell, it didn't take me long to discover a massive entertainment community all webbed together..... some really really talented people doing some really cool things with just a camera and editing software.

And right around the time I started paying attention, they were starting to make $ by doing this. By becoming youtube partners and getting paid by advertisers.

Now, a handful of these folks are making their living this way.

If you shop at Hot Topic, you're probably aware that they have a whole section dedicated to internet celebrities. Most are from youtube.

I watch more youtube than I do regular TV these days.

SO, now that I've outted myself and my love for these youtubers.....I also have to admit that I'm going to this on Saturday.

Do you see that friggin' line up!?!?

That's almost everyone I just mentioned as my favorites.

I'll be the oldest girl there wearing my wheezywaiter shirt and getting video of everything and buying more tshirts and saying hi to folks I've only watched on youtube for the past 2 or 3 yrs.

And I can't freakin' wait!!
