Yeah I know, it's been forever since I blogged on here. Well to be honest, the only reason I started was because my sister did first. Now that she seems to have abandoned her page, I no longer really have a reason to keep posting. Except however, maybe for the few who still like to sneak around and see what I'm up to because I don't really know that they keep coming back. LOL! In any event, I won't be here as much anymore. I won't drop my page altogether but I will prob leave it be for a while or until I decide it's time to give it up. For now I'll just post on here whenever I get the urge and leave it at that. Anyway, let's get to what I've been up to lately. I wouldn't want to disappoint my fans. Hee! Let's start with the Highwire keggar party at my friends house last Saturday on 7/7/07. 3 bands, open bar and a lot of really cool people. I have tons of pics but that would take too long so I'm just giving ya the rundown.



Highwire in action.






















Hangin' with my cute warehouse boy Brett at the keggar.

In the past couple of months I've also been camping in Utah. Here I am with friends inside Mammoth Cave.

It wouldn't be camping unless ya got your krunk on around the campfire!















Havin' some beers with Scott at the bar.
















Bbq at my house with good friends.














Kickin' it with Daniel and gettin' buzzed up.











Oh yeah, and 4th of July has come and gone.





That pretty much sums it up. Same ole thing, gettin' together with my peeps, and having a good time. It's nice that alot of them are cute boys too!



Well that about wraps it up for now. If you don't see me for awhile, just know that I'm like a cockroach. I'm still around somewhere, just hidden very well.

Peace!!!

Giving Thanks In May

Thanks to my family for putting up with my shit and being there for me through good times and bad. Family is good for love, understanding and asking for money when you need it and making them feel guilty when they don't give it to you.

Thanks to my older friends who give me advice and who's experience has helped guide me onto the right path. I always respect my elders.

Thanks to my friends who share my same age (or close enough) and who I relate to the most. We go through this life together and teach and learn from each other. Your shoulders are the ones I cry on and it is you who will always be there when other people come and go in our lives. You are the ones I laugh with the most. You are the ones I piss off the most. Sometimes I like to piss you off.

Thanks to my younger friends whom I can relive my youth, give advice to and also learn from at the same time. So when's the next mad party dawg?! That last one was sick!!

Thanks to the company I work for for keeping me employed when others weren't as fortunate. By the way, did I mention that I'm a homeowner? I also have 2 dogs to support. And the gas prices....whoa!!!!! Ok, just wondering if you knew that......

Thanks to my 2 boys. My 4 legged buddies who love me unconditionally. They are always happy to see me and even when I'm at my lowest, they remind me that life isn't all bad. Yes, I know the diet food sucks ass but you're getting older. Ok, I'll mix it with the regular stuff because it tastes better but don't push it! You should just be thankful your food wasn't on the recall list!

Thanks to my boyfriend who has shown me life outside my own self, given me the opportunity to experience new things and has seen all sides of me and is still there to hold my hand even if I occasionally fart under the covers.

And last but not least - Thanks to -
Beer. Karaoke. In-N-Out Burger. Makeup. Cute boys in black wifebeaters. Corey Taylor. Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. Mexican food. Margaritas. Cigarettes. Cheese. And anything else I forgot that has made my life easier to deal with when everything seems like it's gone to shit.

Oh and I almost forgot - my bad. Thanks to all of my fellow bloggers.
Whether you're here because you want to be, because I asked you to be or because you're just plain nosy, thanks for sharing a little bit of your world with me. After looking at your pages, most of you make me feel alot better about my life. LOL! Just kidding. Only some of you do.
Thank you all....

xo -D

Grindhouse

How many of you remember the old school movie theaters where you would pay to see a double feature, the film was fuzzy, it skipped and cracked and sometimes it even stopped mid picture when the reel wouldn't cooperate? Well I remember it very well and last night we went and saw the Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino double feature Grindhouse. These 2 movies plus the faux trailers in between were the funniest things I've seen in a long time!










The first feature titled "Planet Terror" teams up Rose McGowan and our favorite Six Feet Under mortician Freddy Rodriguez fighting zombie after zombie in this gore filled laughfest. McGowan and Rodriguez play ex lovers and when poor Rose loses a leg to the zombies, Freddy replaces it with a machine gun.






As the zombies multiply and kill, the small team of avengers find themselves fighting for their survival so they can escape the evil and move on to a place where they can make a better world for themselves. The violence and gore in this movie is excessive and will make you bust a gut since it is all pretty much comical instead of scary. This film is brought to us from the mind of Robert Rodriguez.







Our second feature comes from Quentin Tarantino and is titled "Death Proof" starring Kurt Russell as "Stuntman Mike." Rose McGowan also has a part in this flick as well as some of the other actors from the first film.










Stuntman Mike likes to use his car to terrorize women and he does a great job until he ends up messing with the wrong 4 bitches.











These Hollywood girls are looking for a little fun of their own when they come across a madman on the road. Real life Kill Bill stuntwoman Zoe Bell shows off her talents in this one and doesn't disappoint.












All the girl talk and fast speed action in this film keep it entertaining from beginning to end.









Well I don't want to go into anymore details. You have to see it for yourself. Definitely worth going to the theater and watching it on the big screen. You don't have to be a big fan of Quentin Tarantino either. I'm not but I enjoyed both of these films and I would see them again. Oh, those faux movie trailers I mentioned at the beginning of this post.....here's a little teaser for ya brought to you by the brilliant Mr. Eli Roth titled "Thanksgiving." Enjoy!

Green Is Good

How was your St. Patty's weekend? Did ya put on your best green and head out to your favorite pub? Did ya cook up some tasty corned beef and cabbage? Well we didn't have the corned beef and cabbage but we did put on our best green and hung out at one of our local karaoke bars. Ok, it wasn't exactly an Irish pub but it had beer and party people so at least it was festive.






The day before St. Patty's, we hooked up with Lance (that's him in the middle) to celebrate his 25th birthday at a dive bar that was no bigger than my walk-in closet. Alot of people stood outside the front door since it was cramped and smoky inside. Brenda met up with us there and we managed to grab a table and kick it for the rest of the evening.












Lance's boy Nate and his band provided the entertainment. They weren't too bad either. They played some reggae, some rock and some cool cover tunes from bands like Sublime. If you'd like to check 'em out click here - Sick Of Hate

Always down with new music and cute young rocker boys!


After the weekend I pretty much felt like crap. Dave and I were both suffering from allergies so seeing as I had Monday off, I headed across town for a Kenalog shot. Needless to say, my butt hurt for days afterward and I'm still waiting for it to kick in. Yay. Guess we'll see how it goes. Anyway, it's almost the weekend again so I'm trying to stay positive. I suppose I can handle itchy watery eyes and running sneezing nose as long as I don't have to go to work. So until next time, I will leave ya with a bit of Irish luck. Here is Dave with his little friend who followed the rainbow until it paid off at the end! I say let's go shopping! Cha ching! And finally, I have to give a shout out to my sister Darcy who celebrated her birthday this past Tuesday. If you check out the link you can see that she has been slacking immensely on her blog. Get with it sister, it's been a new year for 3 months now! Well Happy Birthday anyway! xoxo

Chikka Chikka Ooh Ooh!!

That's the sound the drunk bear makes around the campfire. Yep, President's Day weekend has come and gone but it didn't pass us by. The bear and coon headed out on another adventure and this time it was back to the Dumont dunes. Along with Mike and 3 additional trucks with friends in tow, we headed out for 2 days and 2 nights with tents, quads and the other woman in Dave's life who he refers to as Sandy Rail.





Here we have our party peeps gettin set up for some good time campin' and ridin'. As you can see, the dust was thick as people zoomed by our campsite on their assorted toys.










Chef Mike was nice enough to lend his cheesy ass grill talent and concoct us some very tasty fried sandwiches. These were to be our fuel for the nightime festivites to come.











President's Day weekend is bigtime for the dunes and along with thousands of people, there were extra vendors on hand to provide everyone with food, drink, shirts and accessories. Here I am sporting a crafty little piece of headwear. Dave calls this picture Coon In The Hat.














Now here we have a very unflattering photo of one of our party guys. I don't remember his real name because everyone calls him Cornfed. Along with his younger brother, Cornfed brought some extra firewood for the campsite.
















And here it is. The extra wood turned out to be 2 doors and they went up in flames very quickly and made a nice mess as the outer layer turned into an ash blizzard from hell. Our new tent suffered a small burn hole before the storm was over.







I mentioned that Cornfed had a younger brother. Well here he is in all his glory. Everyone in our group pretty much has a nickname but this was a new kid so we decided that before the weekend was over he would have one as well. I figured that since he was the younger brother of Cornfed that the obvious name should be Niblet. Well this kid wanted a much cooler name so we decided to put him to the test. We let him do his thing and so he proceeded to get wasted and start a huge blazin' ass fire. Someone mentioned the name Pyro and that seemed to make him happy. Unfortunately for him, Pyro ended up getting sick that night and puked in his tent. Then he woke up the next day and puked some more. He could barely move and as the rest of us went about our day he kept on with the dry heaving until Cornfed packed him up and took him home. Not so cool and not so worthy of the name Pyro. Alas, Niblet it was.


Well we had a great time but the ride home was long and frustrating. It started raining and the next thing you know, traffic came to a slow crawl. After about an hour of bumper to bumper inching along the highway, we finally found out what was prolonging our trip. It wasn't pretty.








I can only hope that the person or persons in this truck were wearing their seatbelts and came out of it ok.











Whatever type of hauler they were towing however, did not. As you can see it looked like a tornado hit it as it sat in pieces along the highway.











We were fortunate to make it home in all the rain and mess and now we just wait for the next opportunity to pack up and head out again. I know I'm ready!

Stays Crunchy In Milk

So last year I got obsessed with System of a Down. I still love them but I needed something else to listen to while waiting patiently for the next album. This band has been around for a few years now. I remember hearing their song "Bother" on the radio and thinking it was pretty cool. Kinda slow for my taste but still a good song. When they came out with the next album "Come Whatever May" the first single was "Through Glass." Another slowish song but the guy has a nice voice. Since I played myself out on System and had nothing new to listen to, I thought I'd give these guys a try. I went to Best Buy and picked up the new cd.

OMFG!!!! Where the hell have I been?! This is a hard rockin' kick ass band hiding behind their melodic commercial singles! And when I found out the singer Corey Taylor is also the lead singer for the band Slipknot, I just about crapped my pants! Hello?! SLIPKNOT?! Scary masked freaks screaming out angry lyrics that you can't understand! This is the same guy?! No freakin' way! It took one listen to the whole cd and I was hooked. I'm in love! I'm infatuated! I'm obsessed! Instantly I ran back to the store and bought the first cd that has the song "Bother" on it. I popped it in my player and this is what I heard - Get Inside See what I mean?! Is this my paradise or what?! Their songs go from political to personal mixing actual singing with screaming and lots of headbanging goodness! Seriously, I could eat these guys for breakfast everyday. I have gone so far as to adopt one of my personal favorites "Hell and Consequences" as my new anthem. I posted the lyrics a few entries back. Read it for yourself and tell me if it isn't a kick ass song. I recommend picking up the cd and giving it a listen. If you're into this kind of music I promise you won't be disappointed. AND you can also enjoy Corey at his angriest in the band Slipknot. 1 great man, 2 great bands. I could just cream myself! My only bitch is that Stone Sour is going to be here in April headlining the Jagermeister Tour at the House of Blues and I don't have the extra money to buy tickets. You know, it's that monthly mortgage thing. Let's see... roof over my head...kick ass concert...taking showers...giving myself whiplash from 2 hours of headbanging.... Yeah, you know what I mean.

So alas, my frustration continues. At least the guys at youtube are nice enough to provide me with the means of viewing live videos. All I have to do is fire up my computer, fill my plastic cup with draft beer and raise my fist in the air. Let the headbanging commence!!.....Happy Friday Bloggers!
