The Mixed Tape - Parts I-IV

So, this is a music blog.  And a humor blog and a trash talk blog and a bitchy blog, but mostly a music blog.  I am obsessed with music.  Duh.  Since I was born with a terrible voice and absolutely no hand-eye coordination or music-reading capabilities, my hopes for musical ability have manifested in an uncanny gift for creating the perfect compilation CD.  (In my humble opinion, that is, and for what it's worth.)  For instance, I created a string of mixes for my sister that spanned 19 discs and roughly 360 songs.  Since her music repertoire now consists primarily of the Fresh Beat Band and Yo Gabba Gabba (remember - she's about to burst with her third little rugrat), I decided my mixes for her were probably going to waste.  So, for 2011, I have decided to create one mix per month (and sometimes two), purely for personal consumption.  These tend to be completed around the middle to the end of the month and generally consist of 18-19 choice tunes.

I have decided the that by not sharing my fantastic selections with you, fair readers, I have been doing you a great disservice.  As such, I have created a new series of entries entitled "The Mixed Tape" (as you can plainly read), through which I will impart my genius on you all.  You may like my taste or you may hate it - though I don't see how!  But hopefully, if nothing else, you might find some inspiration to investigate new bands and sounds.  Enjoy!



(PS - Songs in bold are my most favoritest right now.)

(PPS - A lot of this year's mixes have been inspired by Big Love, which has a KILLER soundtrack.  Down the road I will provide you with the song list from the entire series.  You're welcome in advance.)

Say Something Funny - The Whenever I Feel Like It Facebook Status Awards!

I haven't done this in a while!  It's time for FACEBOOK STATUS AWARDS!  For those of you who are new to Musical Musings, this is when I salute the wit, hilarity, and pure comic genius of all of my Facebook pals (and it serves as an excellent cop-out when I'm too tired or in too much of a food coma to come up with something original - which is most definitely the case right now).  So, without further adieu, some of my favorites of late... 

---

A day in the life:

• FUCK why did I think the 5 hour energy @ 10 pm was a good idea?
• I'm just having one of those bird-glued-to-my-head days.
• The total number of times I have walked into our screen door has not yet exceeded the total number of times I have fallen while putting my pants on.
• Watching yet another season of Dancing with the Somewhat Well-Known.
• I figured out what wakes me up... Lady Gagas new song blasting on my alarm clock across the room... Was dancing on my way to turn it off, but that ended when I fell into the dresser then I realized how much i hate waking up before 7 am
• I'm wearing shorts for the first time this season. Consider yourself warned. 
• [Husband] has strep! I'm so excited, I could punch myself right in the face!
• Check in... The bathroom.
• Our library is right next to Barnes & Noble. Sometimes when I pick up some books, I'll wave them at the B&N snobs and yell "SUCKERS!"
• Currently eating the best meal known to man: French fries dipped in a Frosty. Why? Because I'm a grown up.
• I had a dream I was lying awake in my bed all night. And today I'm tired as hell. Weird.

Ah, Kids:

• My daughter is 2. She's REALLY good at it.
• My darling daughter's quote of the week: "Come down here right NOW Mommy [Last Name]! This t.v. is NOT working!".... Oh Lord.
• Day has improved dramatically! A 4th grader just told me and then someone else I was her best friend! :)
• Cleaning the house before your kids are grown is like shoveling the driveway before it stops snowing. ~unknown
• There is either a mouse or a zhu zhu pet hiding in our downstairs office!! I am way to freaked out to figure it out...
• A while back, we told Ben that thunder was just God moving furniture in heaven. Tonight he said, God needed to keep it down because he couldn't hear his show.
• I sang the entire theme to Mr. Belvedere to my first graders today to blank stares. Kids nowadays just don't appreciate butler themed vigoroso.
• Talking about heroes today and a student asked me who my hero was. I told him Bill Murray. He asked who that was and I told him that he fought ghosts and then freed the slaves. He said Bill Murray was his new hero too. I love molding young minds.
• [Son], my 5yo, just came into the room with a plastic sword, yelled "LOOK DAD, THIS BOOMERANG IS BROKEN!" and threw it at my head.

In case you didn’t know:

• FYI, coconut milk coffee creamer tastes like burning.
• A tongue ring is like a tramp-stamp for your face.

Relationships are Overrated:

• Dear girls who have been dumped,
• There are plenty of fish in the sea... Just kidding! They're all dead.
• Sincerely,
• BP
• If your life had a face I'd punch it.

That’s a really good question:

• How many of my friends did you make out with this weekend?
• Riddle me this: Grown man selling candy apples on the corner of Ghetto & Hood in M-town. Drugs in apples? Or get drugs when given change? Confused.
• [Friend] wonders if Statue of Liberty costumes sell during any other time of the year or just at tax time.
• So, Addams Family on Broadway?! Are they *THAT* out of ideas?!

Weather:

• Dear Northerners who had snow: I had to drive around today with my A/C on because it was too hot to drive with the windows down. Suck on that.
• From the amount of suck I just witnessed while driving home in the rain, it's become all too apparent that people did not grow up playing Rad Mobile like I did.

Stupid Chemistry Jokes: 

·        

·       

• ‎2 scientists walk into a bar. The first one goes "I'll have some h2o." The second one says "I'll have some h2o too." But then he dies.

 

(Yes, I know that’s a math joke, but it didn’t warrant a whole new section)

• A neutron walks into a bar, orders a drink and asks the bartender "How much?" The bartender looks over and says, "For you? No charge."

Just Plain Random:

• Olive Garden - where fired Outback servers end up.
• I'm not sure why you aren't at the Cat Expo at the Agricenter!
• Haikus are easy.  
• But Sometimes they don't make sense.  
• Refrigerator.
• Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo.  - That is a completely legitimate English sentence.
• ‎"I don't have a microwave, but I do have a clock that occasionally cooks shit."
• Q x Coefficient of Angst = Inverse of Actual Usefulness

Hope you enjoyed!  Off to sleep in my "Heavenly" Westin bed.  Nighty, Night!

Saved By the Bell - Saturday

Now that the Apocalypse Now of hail storms has passed, 

(here's a sampling of actual photos:) 

 

it's time for a quick: 

This week we're going to highlight the super-awesome dance contest with guest star Casey Kasem - specifically Lisa and Screech's new hit dance craze, "The Sprain".  Remember this spectacle of cheese?  Wow - impressive.  My favorite part?   Slater's hella-sweet spandex ensemble.  Thank goodness his jerry-curl mullet distracts from his oh-so-obvious package... 

Check it out: 

You're welcome. 

Peace out.

I'm Just a Kid (and Life is a Nightmare)

Here I go again, referring you to other blogs.  I've been trying to catch up on some of my favorites (since I not only banned myself from my own blog for the duration of Studypalooza, but from all others I love as well) and I came across this most priceless entry from Hyperbole and a Half.  Check it out.  You won't be disappointed (and you may even understand me just a little bit better): 


http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/06/this-is-why-ill-never-be-adult.html





I intend to produce my own work of genius (or at least lackluster mediocrity) later tonight.  Stay tuned. 

The Downward Spiral

1:54 am.  Must have draft of 75 page application to client by tonight.  I am only halfway done.  Now, I'm thinking that "tonight" can be interpreted subjectively.  I'm thinking it'll probably be 4:00 am Thursday morning.  It's still dark then.  That counts as night, right?  Considering the push for this draft is to accommodate the client's vacation plans, and considering I am not allowed to have my own vacation plans since I will be spending the weekend in the office, I say 4:00 am, it is.  And they should be damn grateful.   


Moving on.  In today's (yet another) cop-out post, I am directing you to another blog.  Probably a stupid move, as I am shocked I have any readers left at all after my essentially month-long hiatus, and by introducing you to this blog, I am encouraging your defection from mine.  But, I'm doing it anyway because this post is just too frickin' hilarious not to share.  And, it pretty much sums up my entire month.  


Treat yourself to a hearty, raucous belly laugh:

I'll give you three guesses as to where I currently fall on the scale (or off of it, as the case may be)... 

So Alive

Just to let you know that I'm still alive and kicking, and still love you all dearly, I thought I would share the following gem with you.  I miss you all more than you will ever know!  But, work project from hell calls.  It will all be over soon though, and then you can look forward to hearing about Deac's and my adventures in the Magic Kingdom!  Hooray!

Enjoy!

All of my love and devotion,

Today’s Topic:

TAXES

What is there really to say about taxes?  Other than they SUCK ASS, that is…  Well, that and the fact that they are preempting this week’s Trash Talk witticisms.  I desperately need my refund, and we’re coming up quickly on the 4/15 deadline, so my allotted blogging time today must go towards the preparation of my Form 1040.  Joy. 

So, in the ULTIMATE cop-out, I am presenting you with a special treat!  Below you will find the funniest tax-themed sitcom episode EVER.  Enjoy! 


(I do encourage you to watch – you WILL NOT be disappointed.  I guarantee it.)

April Fool’s Day – Part 1

April Fool’s Day – Part 2

April Fool’s Day – Part 3

Wonderful Day

I decided to forgo We Are the World Wednesday this week for two reasons: (1) I have nothing prepared.  I was going to write on my friend Tim, who has selflessly decided to become a firefighter/American Hero, but I have not gotten the details on his program yet.  Keep a watch out for Tim's story in coming weeks;  (2) I wanted to share my WONDERFUL day with you all today!  I love great days!

• 12:07 am: Received AMAZING news that I'd passed Financial!! 
• 1:40 am: Went to sleep after watching two good episodes of Sex and the City
• 9:20 am: Ordered a chicken biscuit at Chick Fil A, along with a medium coffee and large iced tea.  Not only did they actually get my order right this time (a first!), they also "accidentally" poured me a large coffee instead!  Upgrade - free of charge!  One can never have too much caffeine!  
• 10:15 am: Sam's blog post made me smile. 
• 10:30 am - 11:30 am: Long overdue catch-up call with Boss Lady.  (Yes, there's a Boss Lady, too, but I don't do much work for her anymore, so you never hear about her.  She's AWESOME though and I love her to death!  How did I get 3 bosses that are great to work for??  I'm lucky, I guess!  Now, if I didn't have to deal with charge hours or mandatory overtime, I'd have the perfect job...)  She told me that she'd go to the Soirée with me!!!  Yay!  Chocolaty goodness!!  
• 11:30 am - 2:00 pm: Hum along.  Receive many congrats from friends on my CPA exam feat.  :) 
• 2:40 pm: Go to bank to close accounts.  They actually don't give me crap! Pay off one of my credit cards.  SWEEET. 
• 3:05 pm: Subway employee (who's young and kinda cute) tells me I'm GORGEOUS.  Love it! 
• 3:30 pm: Get to the hairdresser's for an appointment.  My hairdresser is a riot and I love going to visit him!  He does a great job cutting my hair, too.  First thing he tells me when I walk in the door is how skinny I look.  This day just keeps getting better! 
• 4:20 pm: Return to office with Cookies & Cream ice cream cone and Little Debbie fruit pie (hey - I earned it!).
• 5:46 pm: Now.  Nice, quiet day since Boss Men Jr. & Sr. are in Ohio for meetings.  More than 30 people have read my blog today.  I'm going to leave at a reasonable hour and work from home.  My hair looks GREAT (thanks Michael!).  

I hope your day has been just as awesome!!

Trash Talk Tuesday

OPINIONS AHEAD. 

PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

I'm totally taking the cop-out approach on Trash Talk today.  I was going to join in on Taboo Tuesday, but I don't have anything prepared, nor am I able to research today.  The same is true for Trash Talk.  Instead of a new and exciting topic this week, you get comments on prior topics.  Two recent Trash Talks have prompted comments containing opposing viewpoints.  Since I love a good debate, I shall post them here: 

• Baby Beauty Queens (See this installment: Trash Talk Tuesday) 

If you remember, I rather harshly criticized child beauty pageants - based solely on my extensive viewing of Toddlers & Tiaras and Little Miss Perfect (as well as a couple of documentaries).   I was, to quote Cher Horowitz, "Brutally Rebuffed".  Check out what S Garner had to say: 

Wow.. you write well.. witty even but I would say this is quite one sided wouldn't you? Even you yourself admit that your relative enjoys them, it has raised her self esteem, confidence and even earned some scholarship cash. Sure there are whackos in every sport, hobby and family but come on. You are leaning 98% towards exploitation and bad parenting when, if you've been in it at all, (which my guess is you have not) you'd see that its the crazy ones that really are the rarity. There is no excuse for Miss "this one is prettier than that one", granted that's a horrifying thing to do to kids. Same as the parents you see pitting one sibling against the other in football, baseball, lacrosse and so on. Crazy pageant moms make good tv and give people like you a way to really dig in and bash the whole idea of pageantry. But.. truth have it, its great Mommy and me time, it should be done only when the child wants to do it.. which is sometimes not evident until they are a little older and can express their wants and needs. I see nothing wrong with a Mom putting a dress on her baby and walking her across a stage. Who really cares? This is far from exploitation even at this age. They meet other kids, make new friends, feel good about themselves and so on. I was a pageant coach for 7 years. I did not coach the Moms with a wad of cash but preferred to coach the ones who were short on it, or were friends of mine. The main reason I started doing it was to help the kids who were new or couldn't afford the insane $100 per hour coaches so that they too could have exactly the same advantages at least in modeling and talent. I did ask Moms to leave my group of girls if it was evident the child wasn't into it and it appeared the Mom was doing it more for herself and the A #1 thing I promoted was inner beauty, self respect and good sportsmanship. There's way more to pageants than you can imagine and to see someone as intelligent as you appear to be make such broad insinuations is rather disheartening to me. It seems like you did your research.. or did you? What exactly did you research on the good side of pageants? There certainly is a lot of good in pageantry. 

And for Miss Satan.. come on.. be real. Are the "trashy football Dads" all taken over by Satan too? Do you believe everything you read?

I admit, S Garner does bring up some good points, and I concede that I am one-sided.  Here is my response:

Ah yes, S Garner - one sided perhaps. But that's why I include the caveat that these posts contain MY opinions. I appreciate your perspective, and absolutely respect it. And, I really enjoy sparking debate and good conversation, so bring it! I have not claimed to know anything more about pageantry than what is captured in documentaries, but they are pretty damn scary. Again - as I said though - I know the good pageants have done for my cousin. I think it might be inappropriate to push the very young girls into it, though. At least to the extremes that are profiled in shows like LMP and T&T. They are not old enough to truly know if they want to do it, and you have to admit that some of the routines and costumes definitely border on (or blatantly cross into the realm of) exploitative. That being said, some of these girls, and their families, take a refreshing approach to the pageants, and showcase the child's natural beauty and talent. In those cases, it's truly enjoyable to watch. It sounds like you supported the latter approach, and I think that's awesome. Good for you for helping the girls who couldn't otherwise afford good coaching, and for protecting their interests. You need to get on TV and show the world that side of pageantry.

I checked out S Garner's linked website: Shelbie Anne.  True to her word, she is a coach to kids who might not otherwise afford to have one.  She's clearly proud of her girls, and they seem to really enjoy what they're doing.  I love that she posts stories about other activities in which the girls are involved, and not just about pageants (like her post about Becca's dance team win).  That's a great way to promote well-roundedness.  So, props to Shelbie!  (I also appreciate the compliment on my writing and wit - even if it was tempered with a "but"...) 


What do you guys think, readers?  Pageants: Good?  Bad?  Ugly?  Indifferent?  


I stand by my original point (in the response to Shelbie's comment) that pushing the little ones into it might not be appropriate.  But, for the older girls, I think it's generally fine.  As long as they don't lose sight of the healthy reasons for doing pageants (e.g. self-confidence, poise, public speaking, scholarship money), in order to become obsessed with winning and exhibitionism, or pleasing their parents.  


Moving on...

• Disney Divas (See this installment: Trash Talk Tuesday) 

J-nonymous is BACK!  I'm so excited!  (She's been MIA for a while, travelling and such.  I've missed her loyal readership and good comments.)  She had this to say about last week's post on Miley Cyrus, Hilary Duff, and other Disney Divas: 

You know, K, I've had these exact same thoughts *about* some of Shia LeB's comments... so though I agree that he has some talent, he definitely falls into your warning category. I've actually thought about this a lot. I mean, he's better than Megan Fox about press, but not much. (Been gone so long, and this is the point I have to tune in to make? I promise I'm catching up!)

My response: 

J-nonymous - Don't tell me that! I've never heard of him trashing Disney! I want to believe he's a good guy! I love him!

Again I quote the honorable Cher when I say: "Do you recall the dates of these alleged [remarks]??"  I want to see some articles supporting these hateful allegations, before I will accept that Shia is also a tool.  J - please reply to this post with some links.  

• Pregnant Teens (See this installment: Trash Talk Tuesday) 

No thought provoking responses to this post, but I thought I'd follow up, nonetheless.  


Sixteen & Pregnant: Season Two is SOOOOOOOOOO inferior to Season One.  The girls are more naive, more annoying, and more selfish than ever, and their boyfriends are way bigger douches.  While one might think this would make for better viewing, it's actually detracting from my enjoyment.  Part of what made this show such an anomaly was the fact that you really could relate to the girls, and your heart went out to them.  Their struggles were real and realistic, and they each had some endearing quality that made you want to root for a happy ending to their sordid tales.  This season - not so much.  I find myself losing focus and wandering out of the room to fold laundry (and that says a lot, considering I loathe laundry with all the fire of hell) or do other meaningless chores, because I'm no longer connecting with the characters.  MTV needs to not worry so much about creating shock factor (like the notorious text to episode 4's Chelsea), and should refocus on finding girls that viewers want to follow.  Like Maci, Amber, Catelynn, and Farrah...


...which leads us to Teen Mom: Not a whole lot to report, since this show is over for a while, but I will say HOORAY!  All four girls will be back for a second season of Teen Mom, so we'll get to see year two of parenthood.  Woo hoo!  


Secret Life: The Secret Life of the American Teenager had its finale last week. Luh-AAAAAMMMMMMMEEEE.  We're left with the cliffhanger of whether Adrian (the slut and ex-girl friend to baby-daddy Ricky) is pregnant, too.  But not with Ricky's baby!  Oh no!  With BEN'S!!  (Baby-mama Amy's "nice guy" ex-boyfriend)  It would seem that the condom broke during their little revenge-induced indiscretion, and now there will be two teen moms in this epic love quadrangle.  Meanwhile, every other girl on the show is planning to have sex with some random guy or another.  Will they EVER learn???  (Ridiculously stupid or not, you can bet your ass I'll be tuning in when this trash fest returns this summer!) 


Alrighty - that's enough mindless dribble/filler for one day.  Off to research net assets for NMTC allocatee banks.  (Be glad you have no idea what that means.) 


Latuh!

In response to Shelbie's comment below, here are some examples of what I think is cute, and what is crossing the line:

VERY Scary... 

  

Beautiful, and natural...

TOO MUCH...

Suit is fine, but hair and makeup are over the top (you talk about this in your post today, and I totally agree with what you had to say)

This kid is AWESOME: 

LOVED this Mother/Daughter pair on LMP: 

Not seeing why they need to show this much skin: 

Questionable: 

Hmm...

Double hmm...

Adorable: 

Too provocative:

Again, too much for a kid this young: 

Perfectly Beautiful: 

Just plain wrong...

Shelbie - Agree or disagree??
