Ok, as many of ya know...me & my family like to travel. And I'll be honest, sometimes we can't afford it. Like in October, I am taking my wife & my neice along with my daughter to Disney Land to celebrate my wife's birthday, my neice's birthday, & Halloween. But honestly, we can't afford. The trip is paid off, but I know there are more important things I could spend the money on. Anyways, my wife lost her job back in Febuary. She got fired. We lived off of my job, as well as our savings account. Now she is working for a temp agency on assignment. The assignment ends at the end of the month, which means she will be out of work. But the good news is she got hired on for another company to do seasonal work starting like a week into October for the holidays. Plus to top it off, we have a check for like 8 grand coming in the beginning of October. Now we are setting a small amount aside to purchase Wrestlemania tickets, as both my wife & daughter are dying to go since they never been. Not knowing this new job was actually seasonal, I started researching how much it would cost for us to go to New York for a week & to fly there is around $1500 for us from Arizona. And a rental car would be about $500 for a week. Room & board would be free cause I got a ton of family there. Mind you, I didn't book anything yet. I figured we could book when the 8 thousand came. I saw all the numbers & got excited for the trip. I talked it over with my wife & she liked it, as well. We started making plans & coming up with ideas, like me showing her the sights of New York City as well as Coney Island, plus where I grew up in New York. Then she hits me with the reality of her job being seasonal. I didn't know until then that it was. She insists she told me, but she didn't. Now my hopes went down & it kinda bummed me. I haven't been back to NY in 11 years. I don't care much for seeing my family, to be honest, but showing my family the sights they have never seen. Plus, I just like taking my family away for a few days. It's just nice to get away from all the worries, the stress...pretty much reality, for a few days. I know my wife could use it & I sure as hell could use it. My daughter, well..she's just along for the ride. But I like taking her places & showing her new things. And getting to show her where daddy grew up would be interesting. But there's no guarantee that come 2010, my wife will have a job since this next one is seasonal. But, most importantly...ya only live once, right? Why not live for the moment? I don't know...what do you all think? When I was 17, my mom took me and my deplorable little brother and sister on a cruise / trip to Disneyland package deal, along with my aunt and her family. She never told me how much she spent (I found out later on it was a BIG bundle) but it was something she wanted to do for us, as well as herself and I believe she truly enjoyed herself. If it's something that you can budget out, paying it back incrimentally, I say do it. We all work so friggin' hard in this world to pay our bills and be responsible and when we turn around twice, our hair's grey and our bills are paid but we let decades of our lives go by and did nothing to actually enjoy these days that we're given. Sorry to get all preachy, but I'm going back to Disneyland, damnit. I vowed it and I WILL go back...very soon...

Yes, Phil does have a great sense of humor. Wish we could see more of that today from him. Brilliant move seeing him bring out one of the old Earth, Wind & Fire outfits One of the funniest parts of the video. As well as that bizarre dance he does when Phillip Bailey is trying to show him how to dance.

NSFW? I can't say. It's only a spoof video. I just feel bad for laughing...but she's...just horrible...

Hell yeah. And it included Phil Collins in his "wacky" phase, before he got all serious and started winning Grammys for Disney movies. Not hating on him, just sayin'.

I was working for a company called Colortyme (they rented second rate furniture and appliances to people for ridiculously high prices), in Jersey City, New Jersey...right across the river from Manhattan. As usual, we had the radio tuned to the local music station, all of the TVs on local stations. A little before 9 AM (if I recall correctly), I swear I heard a significantly loud bang. Now, in Jersey City, they do so much construction, we all assumed it was just a jackhammer or something. Minutes later, news broke that a plane had "accidentally" flown into one of the towers. Going out into the parking lot, you could actually see the towers and I remember being able to see the plume of smoke from one of the towers. Me and my friends went back to work, scratching our heads. And then word came that another plane hit the other tower. I remember the streets around the mini mall we were located in were quickly emptying, most people hearing what was happening and getting into their homes. We called our bosses and they said "well, you're just gonna wait it out for right now and see what transpires". We were all nervous as hell, wanting to get home ourselves...and then the military vehicles rolled down the street outside of our mall. And then I got my chance to see one of those jet black military choppers as it soared over the mall, heading towards the city. ...so, we're all sitting around and looking at each other, saying "if these motherf***ers think we're going to stay here any longer, they're out of their minds!" The call came through not too long after that (about three hours after the initial attacks) to close up and head home. When I jumped on the highway to head home, it was deadlocked with traffic. Sitting in the lane, I got a bird's eye view of both towers smoking. It's the worst thing I think I've ever seen in my life. Got home two hours later, got the lowdown from the news stations on what actually happened and shook my head in disbelief.

And leaving a little bit of orange juice in the bottle and putting it back.

However much those "WWF Ice Cream Sandwiches" were, times 15.
They weren't that good, but I felt like I was part of the WWF...for some reason...

Knocked the voices right out of Dykstra's head, didn't you, Randy?
DAMN THAT VIPER! He's the only one that can hear voices in his head?! Damn him! Damn him!
...and RAW is brought to you by "Just For Men" Hair Cover up. When she's stupid enough to fall for such a ruse, it's "Just For Men"....

When the sky is completely white and there's no definable gap between the clouds, like a cartoon that hasn't been coulored in, it just looks like there's nothing up there which is freaky. I had this dream once that was the reverse. The sky was completely pitch back, but you know it's day time? Freaked me out, totally.

Wake up before my alarm clock rings Convince myself that if I don't get out of f***ing bed and go to work, the bills won't be paid and I won't be able to complete my PU32 Space Modulator Shower Gather my items for the day (bologna / cheese sandwich, water jug, bag of Doritos...and my MITTS!) Trudge to work...

As many people here know, I work 6 days a week, and on the days I work I usually don't get home until about 6-6:30 PM, so they're full days! Sunday is usually the only day I have off during the week, though I have tomorrow too because of the holiday. So my question is this: What exactly is it that people don't understand about the fact that during my small amounts of time off, I basically just want to be left the f*** alone? I don't consider myself to be anti-social, but seriously, sometimes I just want to be left to my own devices, and not be out somewhere. It's a part of the human brain that doesn't always switch over when activated. "I've only got this time to myself. I'd prefer to just kick back by myself today, get in a little me time?" WHAT THEY HEAR: "I want to go on a twelve mile hike across the badlands, repaint the dilapidated houses in the downtown area and, time permitting: go parasailing cause I've got about eight hours of free time just burning a hole in my pocket!" It's a common thing. I've dealt with a LOT of people like that. Patience, caring, and an activity book with a 60 crayon box of crayons is usually enough to get you that free time you need.

I paid to see it, so I can give an honest opinion.
Sucked like a f***ing leech. Poor script, REAL poor script. The villain who wanted me to despise her was so one sided and transparent, it was ridiculous. And when you're rooting for an evil little kid to bite it, there's a problem.
But it was better than Robocop 3. Oh, what a horror.
