Today's Teenage Emotion described in song is:

Teenage Love

When I was 16, I thought this song felt the way love would feel. You see, I was a grunge teenager. We thought Seattle was Mecca and Curt Cobain was Bob Marley reincarnate. By the way, they don't call them "grunge" anymore. The politically correct term is "Homeless looking smelly kid." The video is weird (or rather, ahead of its time... Just kidding, its really weird.) but the song is scrumtrulescent. It isnt gay that the name of the song is Tyler. Tyler could be a girl's name. Could be.

Feelings Are Best Described in Song...

Today's feeling described in song is...

Romance!

This is the most romantic song ever written. You may not agree, but that just means you have a heart of ice and steel. Don't hate love. Love the Love. Love. Love.

My 2nd Favorite Song!

This is my 2nd favorite song of all time. It means a lot to my little family. I put it on a compilation disc back in the day called "Chill Raynger Chill." We would play it for Roman when he was still in Daniela's tummy and he would go wild with movement everytime. When Roman was born he wouldn't react to our voices so we would play this song and he would move around looking for it. Marcus stops and listens when we play it around him. Daniela still tears up when we listen to it. It reminds me of a very difficult and eventually very happy time in my life. To me, it describes the feelings of overcome then overcoming. Enjoy!

Best Song of the 80's!

This is my favorite song from the 1980's. I love music from the 80's... mainly because I have rad sisters who listened to tubular music back then. It was released in 1983, but I didn't hear this obscure and awesmazing song until 2001 when Vanilla Sky was released. I immediately went out and bought the Vanilla Sky soundtrack just to get this one song and it was not on it! I did a bit of research and finally found it. This is my gift of love to you. Enjoy the sonic ear candy!

Happy Birthday Mom!

It’s my Mother's birthday today!

She is the most amazing woman. She raised 10 redheaded kids to adulthood. 10 kids! That is 40 weeks of pregnancy for each child or 400 weeks total. There are 4 weeks in a month so that is 100 months. There are 12 months in a year so this means that Mom was pregnant for over 8 years. This doesn’t even include the pain multiplying factors of nursing and raising very young children while pregnant.

Then, she had to raise us!

So, Happy Birthday Mom! I love you more than I can adequately express. You are the heart of this family.

Red Like Me

I am a redhead.

Wow, it feels good to be able to say that. I am red and proud! Redheads have had a bad rap in popular culture for the past few decades. We are called gingers, carrot top, daywalker, fire crotch, and other despicable names. In fact, being a redhead in the 80's was much like being an albino in medieval times. We were both ostracized and labeled as demons. Except Albinos really are demons. Snow demons.

It hasn’t always been this way. In fact, many of the most powerful and influential people of ancient times were redheads. So, here is my list of redheads who have shaped your world!

1. Jesus. It looks like red hair to me in all the good paintings. Other depictions, which lack the red hair are not authorized by the NAARP. (National Association for the Advancement of Redheaded People)
2. Adam. Yes, the Adam. The father of mankind. The name for Adam in Hebrew is also identical to the word for ruddy or red. What a great way to start the world!
3. The Prophet Mohammed. Oh yeah, nonbeliever! In the Koran it says that Mohammed dyed his hair with henna in order to get a nice red color. Fashion for the faithful.
4. King David. In descriptions of the ancient king, he is said to be "admoni" which means ruddy or redheaded. I think Goliath was probably redheaded too. That’s where all that anger came from.
5. Mary Magdalene. She is often depicted as having red hair. She is a “Disciple of Good Taste” in my estimation.
6. Achilles. Yeah, of Homer's Iliad. He is described as being redheaded. Awesome warrior with only one weakness. Sounds like most redheads I know. Our only weakness is the Sun.
7. Thor. The Viking God of Thunder was often depicted as having red hair. His lightning bolts strike you with style. Eric the Red was so in vogue.
8. Ramses the Great. He is often regarded as the most powerful of all the pharaohs. He ruled for 66 years of pure Egyptian awesomeness. He is also described as being redheaded. Once you go red, your enemies go dead!

These revelations maybe hard for some of you to digest. If you question it, go ahead and check it out on Wikipedia. The Internet never lies. Oh, and just so you know, I AM NOT IRISH!

Master Butt Cleanse!

I'm on Day 4 of the Master Cleanse. If you don't know, the Master Cleanse is a type of fasting where you take laxatives several times a day as well as a fresh squeezed lemon juice, organic maple syrup, and red cayenne pepper concoction whenever hungry. It is supposed to clean you out. The main reason I am doing it is because I am trying to avert depression.

You see, I am in North Carolina right now. I had to stay here by myself over Easter weekend. My little boy Roman keeps asking for me or saying, "Daddy's gone." I feel like breaking into Man Tears anytime I talk to Daniela. (Man Tears are a form of crying while apologizing for crying while snot streams from your nose.) So, instead of falling into a depression-fueled eating frenzy, (chocolate cake loves me no matter what is happening) I decided to control myself by punishing myself. With starvation.

It's not too bad really. The Lemon-Maple-Cayenne Pepper drink was like the piss of Satan after an asparagus eating contest, but I barely taste it anymore. I guess I feel good, just kind of hungry... for weird things. For instance, I would love some cooked cabbage in chicken broth. Oh yeah, I would cover my body in that delicious cooked cabbage. That bad, naughty, translucent vegetable. I would sit in a bathtub of cooked cabbage and dive underneath with my mouth wide open. I would call it Me-so cabbage soup!

I don't really recommend the fast, unless you are trying to ward off depression. If you do want to try it though, let me know and I'll get you the info. Oh, one thing- If you do try it, DON'T EVER PASS GAS! You think it's just a little fart, but it comes out a Shart. A bright orange shart! This has happened three times to me so far. It was once per day until I finally figured it out yesterday... actually it was this morning when I woke up. This cleanse does such disgusting things to your bod!
