My love and fascination with SUPER HEROES

I'm not sure when this all started but the first memory I have of loving supers was my days of 8th grade. My best friend, Katy and I took upon ourselves the identities of characters from the Batman legacy. Katy was Catwoman, obviously, she had many pet cats and just loved cats in general. Me, being kind of a goof and well a blonde at the time, took on the persona of Harley Quinn, the Joker's side kick chick. I love reflecting on the good old days but I wonder if any of my readers out there didn't know I was an obsessed super hero fan! So, now ya know! Well anyhow, I really loved watching the Batman cartoon and I love the movies.


When I was 18 I got into Superman from watching the show, Smallville. I still watch the show unfortunately. It's pretty much butchered now but I fell in love with the super special effects. It's amazing watching someone run fast, punch through walls, use heat vision, and super hearing and so on. I think I just love the idea of having abilities, super powers! I'd give anything to be able to fly!!

I also got hooked into the show Heroes. It's really good too but again I feel like they shouldn't draw it out because after a while it'll end up butchered too. Anyway, personal feelings.

I do also love Spiderman and I enjoy Iron Man and Hulk and many others. I think its pretty awesome there are so many super hero movies made today because I never get tired of them!! I really want to be in one someday!

Can't Get Enough

For the last few months I've been collecting music to put on the Ipod to be played at work. I just get so sick and tired of the radio. As I keep adding songs, I realize this generation has a pretty weak selection. Not to mention how hard it is to find appropriate work environment music for today's tunes. So I began a collaboration of older music. I have made an Oldies mix (60's and 70's - I know what the 'oldies' are), as well as an 80's mix and an early 90's mix. I love these mixes so much that here I am blogging about them. I don't know how to actually put music on a blog so I'm just going to name a few of my favorites that some of you may have forgotten all about.

Oldies:
"Time Of The Season" by The Zombies
"Wooly Bully" by Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs
"Get Off My Cloud" by The Rolling Stones
"If You're Going To San Fransisco" by Peter, Paul, and Mary
"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay" by Otis Redding
"Hang On Sloopy" by The McCoys
"California Dreamin'" by The Mamas & The Papas
"Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter" by Herman's Hermits
"Turn! Turn! Turn!" by The Byrds
"Joy To The World" by Three Dog Night

80's
"I Can't Wait" by Nu Shooz
"Tell Me What's On Your Mind" by The Information Society
"Don't You Want Me Baby" by The Human League
"Tainted Love" by Soft Cell
"Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen
"True Faith" by New Order
"I Need You Tonight" by INXS
"And I Ran" by Flock Of Seaguls
"Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" by Eurythmics
"Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard

Early 90's
"That Girl Is Poison" by Bell Biv DeVoe
"Connected" by Stereo MC's
"Fantasy" by Mariah Carey
"This Is How We Do It" by Montell Jordan
"Here Comes The Hotstepper" by Ini Kamoze
"Jump" by Kris Kross
"My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It) by En Vogue
"Tennessee" by Arrested Development
"Motownphilly" by Boyz 2 Men
"Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark And The Funky Bunch

I apologize if any of the artists are incorrect. This is just what I found online. The Oldies mix is the hardest to pick just few favorites, they're all just great! I want to say thank you to my awesome parents who always played oldies growing up. I absolutely love them!

I caved

Ok everyone, I hope you're happy. I'm officially on Facebook now. So, yay maybe now I'll have friends!

Maybe The Worst Week Ever

Monday. I came home from work and we had no hot water. This has happened before but that still doesn't make it ok. I had to take a shower, had to! So, I did everything I could think of to try to make a freezing shower somewhat pleasant. Well, my attempts were weak and didn't work. It was like bathing in an ice shower.
Tuesday. Woke up with a headache and sore throat. I went to work anyway but as the day went on everything got worse. My body started aching and that headache started putting on weight. After a while, I could barely stand. So, I left work early came straight home and went to bed.
Wednesday. I got up, got in the shower (water was fixed by now) and I still didn't have the energy to stand. So I didn't go into work all day. My throat was swollen and sore and very painful. My headache hurt so much it felt as if all my body's weight was in my brain and someone hit my head with an axe.
Thursday. My normal day off. Thankfully doing a little bit better but stayed home all day trying to recoop.
Friday. Feel good enough to go to work. My cold now is in the runny nose stage. So by the end of the night I'm just worn out. I go to bed and all night I keep rubbing my right eye. Not sure why but it just kept drying up getting crusty.
Saturday. I get up and my eye is all red. I take a shower and again there is no hot water. It wasn't completely gone but it was still very cold. Well, I had to go to work so I do and all the girls are telling me to go home and rest. I might have pink eye. Great. So I come home hating how much work I am missing and my eye just gets worse and worse. It spreads to my left eye and that gets worse and worse. So I go to an urgent care and get some drops.
Today. I am home writing all this out with two pink eyes, one which is still really swollen but hey they are getting a little better with the drops. I have to miss church and decide if I should miss work tomorrow too. Oh and I'm still very sick.

Doesn't that sound like the greatest week ever? My eyes should be all better within 7 days. So, hopefully my cold is gone by then too and I can get back to a normal life. It's amazing how much I can take my health for granted. One thing shuts down and its the end of the world.

My only celebrity crush

Jim Caviezel


That's right. He's my one and only. I might be picky but I only pick the best! I don't know why I am posting this other than I just feel like it! I've liked Jim Caviezel for a few years now. He's beautiful and real and I don't think he's popular enough for how great he is. At least from what I can tell. You might recognize him from such movies as; Frequency, The Passion of the Christ, and my favorite, The Count Of Monte Cristo. There have been many others but I'm not going to list them all. Anyway, Jim, you're my boy! I've heard he was considered to play Superman (cause he's perfect like that) and the fact that he played Jesus says it all. (perfect!) He's strong and firm, but soft and gentle. Good job Mel Gibson picking him! He's my favorite! Ain't he yummy?

Nouvelle Vague

Tuesday night John and I went to a concert. The night took a while getting started...a lot of waiting for the show to begin but it was awesome. We saw Nouvelle Vague, they are a french group who only do covers with a unique bossanova sound. Very cool! We were right next to the stage. We could reach out and touch them if we wanted. At one moment one of the women put her microphone up to John and let him sing part of a song. That was fun!! I must say, there is something very fascinating about the french. What else was cool was Kyle Korver (Utah Jazz) was there! Anyway, here is one of their better videos on you tube...

I got some terrible shots with my camera phone but here are a couple, I think they must have different women sing for them sometimes because they look different than those on you tube videos.

lonely + a little aggrivated = tangent!

So lately (lately meaning the past 2 years) I've noticed a big change in my social life since I became one of those married people. I'm not sure why people do this but they tend to forget about you when you're no longer single. I am not someone who has often been short of friends... until I chose to wed one. I am not trying to bash marriage here because its the best and smartest decision I've ever made. That is not why I am writing any of this. All I'm saying is I wish I still had my friends. Granted, most of them were guys so I understand why they never make the effort to stay in touch. However, I try! I do! I send out texts to old friends a lot but it never leads to more than, how have you been? I find its even more difficult making new friends being married. Partially because you have extra people to develop a liking for. (if you're husband can't stand them... how can you continue to have them over all the time? and vise verse? so unfair!) So what is it about being married that makes me a less interesting person?? or less fun?? I don't get this. I don't like this.

I'll admit I am guilty of not calling some of my married friends anymore.. it is harder when they live far away or have children. Oh crap, does this get worse after you have kids?? I'm doomed! Wait, is this why so many people have kids so quickly after getting married??

I love my husband and he gives me everything he can. But he cannot give me the response a girl friend can. Girls need time to be with girls. Its how we work. Sometimes I miss having roommates to come home to. I'm around women all day every day at work so you'd think I'd get my fill right? Nah, work is work. Its the times when you get off work and have no one to spend it with that make you wish you had people in your life that wanted your company.

So any suggestions?
Will joining facebook make me real friends??
Am I crazy? Does anyone else feel this way?
Anyone free next weekend??
