Where did yesterday's blog go?

Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot to blog yesterday. Instead I was sitting around being lazy. I've turned to being lazy yet again. I have to get off my butt. I haven't worked out in over a week now and I'm going to have to kick the kids off the wii so I can.

Yes, I said I have to kick the kids off the wii so I can work out. I've found that using the wii fit game is the only way that I get myself to do any type of working out. I actually find it fun (and challenging at the same time) to see if I've improved or gotten worse. It's also quite fun to do some of those challenging yoga stretches. I've found myself laughing out loud at myself as I'm attempting to do the dancer. If you don't know what the dancer is I will tell you (I guess even if you do know you're going to have to deal with me telling you too). The dancer is when you stand on one leg (let's say right), take your left leg and bend it behind you. Then you grab your left foot with your left hand and pull upwards. While doing this you are extending your right arm out straight in front of you, which allows you to slightly lean forward. Your left leg is bent at a 90 degree angle behind you. So you pretty much look like an awkward swan from swan lake. I believe that is probably another reason why I laugh while doing this stretch. I'm picturing feathers in my hair and a tutu.

So, what I have been doing is watching movies. The night before last Jay and I watched Pirates of the Caribbean (the first one). I just was in the mood for action and comedy and what better to provide me with that than Pirates? So of course, since we watched the first, last night we watched the second installment, Dead Man's Chest. This one is definitely more action packed than the first, but for some reason I believe this is my least favorite of the three. I think it is because at some points it just becomes too much.

I do have to admit I absolutely love a few scenes. The first is when Jack and the crew are separately being chased by the island tribe. The second is the Kraken scene on the merchant ship. The third is the scene where Jack, Will, and Norrington are fighting and not paying any attention to what's going on around them. Then, of course, there is the scene where the Kraken attacks the Black Pearl. Definitely, I think the Kraken was the best role in the film.

So, tonight I believe we will watch At World's End so I can see Jack going crazy in Davy Jones' Locker and all the sand turn to crabs in order to move the Black Pearl. Plus I love Jack the Monkey.

Charlie Sheen and Kraken

I don't really have to much to blog about today. Maybe it's because my blog yesterday was so extremely long.

Today hasn't been too bad of a day so far. We went to lunch with the family and as always Wednesday lunch is always a big thing. Of course Melody was there, minus Mary because she was babysitting. Debbi, Jay's grandpa Paul, Marilyn and Stan, and then Jeni and her girls. Plus of course Jay, Sean, and I. It's quite a bunch that make it out for lunch. And all just to sit around, talk, and eat fattening food.

Nothing else exciting happened really except for the fact that I actually got followers on twitter than aren't friends or family. First was the Kraken Rum. If you haven't tried it I highly suggest you do. I always was a Captain Morgan fan, but now that has changed. Also for only about $19 for a 750ml bottle you really can't go wrong.

My second follower was @warlockjunior. This is a page set up for those who are trying out to be Charlie Sheen's #TigerBloodIntern (yes you notice that I am using twitter names and hash tags here). I sadly didn't make in on to round 3, but Jay has. It looks like he is one of about 300 individuals who have made the cut. Not too bad considering there were over 2 million applicants initially.

Then of course was my favorite thing that happened today. Charlie Sheen, username MrCharlieSheen on YouTube, sent me a friend request on YouTube. I guess that I am going to have to make some videos now.

Well, that is all for my boring life today. I hope to see you all again tomorrow. If not then shame on me.

Libya

I have some strange opinions about war. Many people don't understand them. I believe a lot of this is because I spent 10 years as a soldier in the United States Army. So today I'm going to talk about my opinion on what we are doing starting another war with yet another middle eastern country.

First off, I believe this has been long coming. Why is wasn't done over 20 years ago when Muammar Gaddafi admitted to involvement in the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 I don't know? I guess it was for the same reason we didn't take out Osama Bin Ladin after the first attack on the World Trade center in 1991, or after he attacked the embassies in Africa, or even after he bombed the USS Cole.

Muammar Gaddafi is basically the same as Saddam Hussian was to his people. He is a tyrant who controls his people by fear with very few individuals who actually support his outrageous beliefs. Now, on a side note, I have many thoughts on the taking out of Saddam, but I believe this should be saved for another time.

Now on to my second point. Obama, only after pressure from other countries, has joined in on an allied forces air attack against Libya. He has stated though, that no ground troops from the United States will be moved there to perform a ground assault. First off, why did he cave under the pressure if he truly doesn't believe in this assault? Secondly, why doesn't he prepare our troops for the possibility of another ground war?

I am very much angered by this entire situation we have been subjected to. I am angered, not because the United States is involved in another war, but because we have been involved in this war with uncertainty.

Now on to my third point, and honestly, this is the reason that I started writing this blog post today in the first place, is why do we always find excuses for why our leaders bring us into these wars. The American people criticized George H.W. Bush for leading us into war with Iraq because of a basically unknown country, Kuwait. Why were we getting involved? The answer was to help out a country in need! Then the American people criticized George W. Bush for again bringing us to war against the same man his daddy did. So many things were said about him. He was trying to finish the job to make his father proud. He was doing it because of oil, which everyone believed is also why his father did it. Nobody thought to look at it at the viewpoint of the people of Iraq needed our help because they had no leadership guiding them in the right direction against this horrible man.

So now we finally get to Obama. What is the American's people excuse for him going to be? Personally, I like he's doing it because he wants to prove to the American people that he's not Muslim. I know that is going to come up quite a bit. Then there is going to be he felt the pressure from other countries in the United Nations. I think that is a little more believable. What do you think some of the excuses are going to be?

I personally don't believe we should be getting our hands dirty with another war. I do believe though that if there is somebody who is calling for our help we will give it to them. No I do not believe that we are the world police, but I do believe we have been a strong nation for so long because we are built on democracy. If the majority of the people of a country want this for their country too, but are unable to do it for themselves why can't we help them out? Now I do also believe that the Libyan rebels are doing pretty well on their own. Just last night when one of our own F-15s went down and the pilots had to eject it was the Libyan rebels who rescued one of the men and ensured that he was returned to the Americans safely.

On that note do they really need our help? And if they do let's go in there and give Gaddafi hell. Let's show them what the 82nd, 101st, all our Ranger Battalions, Special Forces Groups, and Delta Force is for. Give him hell like Audie Murphy and SGT York. Bring on the pain and let my infantrymen kick on their asses! HUA!

#tigerbloodintern

Well, maybe I'm not good enough or maybe, hopefully (fingers crossed) they haven't gotten to my application yet.

The reason why I say this is because Jay got an e-mail about two hours ago stating he has been selected for round 3 of Charlie Sheen's tiger blood internship this summer. He and I both submitted applications and were both selected for round 2, but so far he's the only one who has made it into round 3. This internship is to work on Charlie's social media for the summer of 2011.

I'd love to be chosen, but I do know that Jay has much better experience for something like this. It would look great on his resume considering he is trying to get started as a web developer. Me on the other hand am just a stay at home mom with a dream.

I guess I could say that I'm not lying about being upset that I haven't been considered, but hell, you can't have everything.

Sorry for not being here yesterday. It was a long day full of napping and spending time with Jay's Aunt Debbi and Uncle Danny. We had a great time and didn't get home until after 10:30. Dinner was awesome. Thanks Debbi and Danny for having us over. It's our turn now so I will have to think of something super yummy to cook you.

Maybe I've become an actual Blogger!

Yeah, I completely doubt the title of this blog. I think that I have just had a good week, but most likely by the middle of next week I will forget to blog again.

Today's focus: My sleep pattern. Or should we say my extreme lack of a sleep pattern. As of the last two weeks I've barely gotten more than two hours a sleep a night. But finally last night I slept for about 14 hours. I don't want that to continue to happen. If only I could get at least 4 to 5 hours every night I think that I will be okay.

Well, my brain is still completely fried and I can't think of anything else to blog about so it's time to stop boring you all. See you tomorrow I hope.

Good Day to you!

Well, I've been on a roll so I have to blog today even though truly I have absolutely nothing to say. Let's just say that St. Patrick's Day hurt me very much. No throwing up, but barely remember what time I went to bed. It will be quite a memorial St. Patrick's Day. I'm just going to leave it at that.

Today I am going "Green"

Like I would actually become completely environmentally conscious? That's a silly thing to believe. I'm from the great state of Michigan where gas guzzling cars are made and continue to roam the potholed streets.

I'm going "Green" for St. Patrick's Day of course. We've already made it a point to have Jameson, Guinness, and Bailey's in our home for this lovely occasion and I'm not going to lie I'm drinking Bailey's in my coffee this morning. I think in celebration of this wonderful holiday I am not going to do anything today. I'm just going to sit and drink and waste my day away until I have to go to Keri's birthday party tonight and celebrate St. Keri's Day. Then possibly have a drink or two out on the town. Doubt that though because we have little munchkins who need to go to school in the morning so I'm thinking Grandma and Grandpa aren't going to want to watch them for the night.

I am totally looking forward to this weekend. I'm hoping to see a couple of old friends while I am home to see the great Bay City St. Patrick's Day parade. Saturday going to hang with family and who knows what Sunday will include.

So to all people who think drinking is bad I am going to ignore you until next week because I have a feeling that alcohol will be running through my veins until Monday morning.

Good day to you all and drink a green beer for me and don't forget to kiss an Irish fool. Love you all!
