Day in Review - The Day After Halloween

Happy Halloween...it is NOT freakin' Christmas yet

It is November 1st...this is apparently the day that the holiday season officially begins.  Pardon me, I thought I still had some time.  I heard my first holiday song today..."Winter Wonderland"...on an indie internet radio station of all places. It is too early.  The day after Halloween should be spent fending off a candy handover and thinking about all of the Saints while you try to decide if you should eat a Snickers or Kit-Kat bar. (we all know you will eat both)  

Maybe I am a Scrooge, but I will not participate in holiday merrymaking on November 1st. I will also not mention any Lohan's or Kardashian's because I don't think they matter to our world. It saddens me that legitimate news channels are focused on these two.  I know...its ratings and money...I get it, I just wish it wasn't like that.  I appreciate entertainment news...I'll be honest, I like entertainment news. I get all of the entertainment news I need from TMZ, People.com and from Lisa France on CNN.com. All of them do an amazing job at entertainment news.  I just don't think that any Lohan or Kardashian should be one of the top news stories in the first 3 minutes of a newscast. I could get on my soapbox about this because I seriously have no idea what contribution any Lohan or Kardashian brings to to my life but I won't, because there are some funny things I have discovered over the past few days.

Let's talk about one of my least favorite people...actually we will eventually talk about two of my least favorite people, but first lets focus on Harold Camping...you know this hottie....he is the guy who has predicted the end of the world three times (and been unsuccessful I may add)  He announced today that he is retiring. He also apologized for being wrong about predicting  the end of the world.


DUH!!!!


So on to my other favorite person, who I have not spoken about very often recently as she is just...well...not important?  It isn't like she was really important before, but she was more noticeable in the world I guess.  If you haven't guessed, I am speaking of Sarah Palin and I stumbled upon this photo randomly and just had to share...

It is not in my nature to ignore this...

If you cannot read what this picture says, this is honest to goodness Sarah Palin toilet paper. Not only is it Sarah Palin toilet paper, it is Sarah Palin toilet paper that isn't even worth $1.99...it is now on sale for 99 cents a roll. If this doesn't make me happy, not a lot will.

Speaking of happiness, I have been a bit "blah" recently.  I need to find some happiness I think.  I guess it's just that time of year.  I needed an attitude adjustment so I did do something that was not only unexpected but quite private.  I let it all go and that is all I will say on the subject. I feel better and I am anticipating good things.

One of the things I figured out when I was trying to find some happiness this week was that today, November 1st, 2011 is my 9 month anniversary of being tobacco free. There has not been a cigarette in my mouth since February 1st.  That is a happy thing, right?

Another happy thing I want to share is that I am estimating, by the end of this week, this blog...yes...my little blog, will hit 10,000 views.  TEN FREAKIN THOUSAND.  That is a huge deal for me.  I remember when it hit 1,000 and now it is up to 10,000.  I wonder if I should send that information to the guy from the last post who said no one ever reads this...MUHAHAHAHAHAHA

If anyone is wondering, I have given up on love, so I haven't been on any dates. I did watch a television show about a woman who is in love with and wanted to marry the Berlin Wall, so I am looking into that lifestyle.  I think the Terminal Tower is single and last I heard, Severance Hall just went through a bad break up so I may swing by both places and see if there is any interest.

Day in Review – It’s the End of the World and I Feel Fine...

What’s shaking?  We have a lot to discuss tonight!  We can’t even have a real introduction because this blog post is full of nonsense that must be presented to my readers.

Have you heard of Harold Camping? If you don’t know the name, you probably know the voice if you are a random scanner on a car radio. He is the guy that hosts 24 hours a day of Family Radio...a random station that is centered on extremely conservative religious twaddle...He sounds like he is about 157 years old and is one of the people who take the Bible literally. Eye for an eye stuff...anywho...he has “predicted” the end of the world by using an extremely...well, idiotic...way of interpreting the Bible. He claims that God has put the dates of Judgment and the End of Times in the Bible, and man just had to figure it out...Harold, says he is the man who did...after all these centuries, Harold Camping was put on Earth to say God put the exact date of Judgment into the Bible.

Perhaps Harold is unaware that God did not actually write the Bible...

I made a mistake earlier if you have read my Facebook post...I am confident enough in myself to admit if I make a mistake, so I am now confessing....I made a mistake.  The end of the world will not be May 21^st, 2011 as I posted on Facebook....that is apparently Judgment Day.  The end of the world will be on October 21^st, 2011...just before my birthday.  Really? Neither of them are very convenient days for me to be honest, but since I don’t believe a word of Harold’s musings, it isn’t really making me lose sleep. 

If you know anything about what the Bible says, (I have read it, cover to cover three times...random fact, use it as you will) on Judgment Day, or the Rapture, the chosen people of God will magically be taken to Heaven and those who are left will endure the 7 signs of the Apocalypse. Harold’s website says he will no longer be on Earth, but you should watch his page for blog posts on May 22^nd  through October 21^st, 2011.  It seems he has recruited a sinner who is on their way to Hell on 10/21 to keep up the blog for him. 

I’m sorry. I cannot continue because I am laughing so hard and may pee myself.  

I will be having a party for my birthday on October 24^th, 2011...if you are reading this, you are invited.  For those who are wondering, it will be on Earth, not in Hell.  I sunburn too easily.

Moving on, my friends...

So, you know this post would not be complete without the latest dating news...so I picked up another guy online.  We talked, really got to know each other over the phone, planned to meet....he cancelled...now trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, he DID say he wasn’t totally sure this particular date would work for him...HOWEVER...lets fast forward 4 days...you all know my dear friend, Laurel...I talk about her often.  She sends me a message today...HE MESSAGED HER ON THE DATING SITE!!!!  Of course she didn’t write back or anything, but he and I got into a discussion about it.  He sent me messages all day saying he really wants to see me and I should give him a chance...blah, blah, blah.

Two more things...or four more, but they are small-ish.

I feel the need to let you know that Princess Beatrice’s hat which was famously worn on her head (or attacked her head, in my opinion) during the Royal Wedding is listed on ebay.  Any of you who will not be scooped up on Judgment Day and will be attending my birthday party, feel free to pick it up. I would love it.  Starting bid is $8,229.

Yes...this was serious....

 

I wanted to share this sign I saw today....I couldn’t get a photo, but I was able to do a rendition on my laptop.  It seriously makes me worry for civilization....and for Cleveland...

Just picture this, just as I have it here....on a sign in someone's yard...

Speaking of Cleveland, I really need to recommend the show “Hot in Cleveland”.  It is on TV Land on Wednesday nights at 10:00pm ET. Hi-freakin-larious.  In last night’s 30 minute episode, I laughed out loud 7 times. 

Finally, I need to do some shout outs.  These are a few blogs that I like to read and want to share them with you:
