  • Motivation

    I hear that today is the first day of July.  It can't be, can it?  Today it was so cold.  I had to close the windows for fear that my furnace would kick in.  This morning I put on a hoodie.  I guess I would rather have this cold speel over the triple digit heat wave.  I have been keeping an eye on the World Series of Poker.  Some big names have won bracelets this year so apparently that is a good thing.  50 of the 57 events have been completed.  I am just anxious to see who wins the Main Event.  I should have been there but my sugar momma fell through and no one else would stake me the $10K.  Maybe next year.  Here's your weekly dose of motivation.






    I findthe Obama one hilarious because Joe the douchebag Plumber was speaking at a gathering in my home state this week and he said how the Constitution was for democracy only and the founding fathers didn't intend for our country to practice socialism or communism.  Joe just proved he is not much of a student of history.  Socialism and Communism were political ideas that came about 50 to 100 years after the Constitution had been written.  I guess he doesn't need to know facts, just as long as he has an "R" behind his name.  And a special congrats to Minnesota for finally clearing up who won that pesky Senate race.

    And to meet a request, here are some more selections from my colliegate choir career.  The first song is just my choir and the rest are selections with all the choirs from my college singing.

    And to all my Canadian readers, Happy Canada Day!

  • Interesting...

    Though I found it odd that it is the first day of July..... simply because life seems to be passing so quickly... and I'm only 24 but I feel it passing before me like someone would in their 40s or 50s

    =/ Strange stuffs!

  • my husband's best bud won a trip to the world series. i think he lost and had to go home.

  • BALL PIT SHARK!!!!!!!!!

  • I like the buddies one awww lol

  • Another great post. I think you're going to have a pleasant change in the weather very soon. It's supposed to get hot - there's a high pressure system moving in as we speak. Man last week it was brutal. I was sweating buckets here with the humidity. It's been rainy, cloudy and very cool all spring and then BANG! It went up to 35 C last week for a few days. Whatever weather you get, it usually comes here about 12 hours later.

    Adios for now,

  • lmfao. Your posts always manage to amuse me

  • Minnesota has elected Stuart Smalley to the Senate...wow. "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough and gosh darn it, enough people like me to send me to D.C." Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it's not Coleman but seriously, Stuart Smalley??? Maybe they should make him an ambassador to Iran, make them feel better about themselves like he did for Michael Jordan.

  • I enjoyed the balding men picture! And yeah, I flipped my calender and saw it was Canada day as well. Wonder what they do... on that day.

  • I like the ginger kid looking at the woman offering the lap dances. You can just hear the wheels turning in his head, hah.

    Everything pissed off the Nazi-Nazis. Jeez.

    Hurrah for Canada Day! I'm wearing my Canadian stuff and I'm only listening to artists who have come from the Great White North. :D I was Canadian in a past life.

  • Boo-hissss.

  • Very nice as usual! :)

  • @kachino - 

    Thank you...you mean you are still awake on Canada Day?

  • @Another_Perfect_Wonder - 

    Joe the Plumber, right?

  • @twistedmistletoe - 

    I bet that kid faked like he couldn't run any more and started walking over to the couch and sat down expecting his lap dance.

    What amazes me about the Nazis, is that they were the first government to come out with anti-smoking laws and ads.

    I did crank some Rush from my car stereo as I cruised to the liquor store looking for some Molson. They didn't have any so I will wait for this weekend to indulge.

  • @theladyofabundance - 

    I find myself becoming that balding men photo on a daily basis. Oh and Canada Day...according to my Canadian subs, they celebrate it much like how we celebrate the Fourth of July. I thought of celebrating Canada Day by drinking some Molson, watching SCTV and Kids in the Hall, listening to some Rush and Bryan Adams but no Celine Dion, and then playing a hockey game on my Super Nintendo.

  • @bosefius - 

    Yeah Minnesota has had some interesting choices in politicians in the past 10 years or so. Jesse "The Body" Ventura...Tim Pawlenty(only because he had a mullet)...Coleman(he promised my frat free kegs of beer for posting one of his 6 ft by 12 ft signs on our porch but little did he know we only put it up to cover the holes in the screens)...Michelle Bachman(is there a procedure in Congress where people demand representatives take a mental health test?)...so I guess Stuart Smalley fits right in and when he helped Jordan, that was phenomanal. Now if he could only use that power on Ahmadinejad to relinquish his office or what I am hoping for, a former member of the Bush campaign in 2000 to publicly speak and tell Iran the proper way to steal an election.

  • @Olyachka - 

    Thank you...my mission is accomplished if I make you laugh.

  • @dikdoktor - 

    Thank you. I am enjoying this cool snap over that high heat and humidity. I think it is supposed to warm up Thursday and be the normal temps for the rest of the week and then possibly another cold spell.

  • @no1charmerlondon - 

    Yeah...that is a good one. I can't remember the title but it reminds me of that video where these guys worked with a lion cub and then left and they came back a year or so later and the lion recognized them and came running and hugged the guys like that.

  • @UR_MUSE - 

    That one creeps me out because it reminds me of the frat house. One of the guys worked at a McDonald's in a small town in MN and they remodeled their play-place. Well he bought the old ball pit and put it in the basement. No one lived in the house for about a month and a half. Then when we moved in a friend saw it and ran and jumped in. Well spiders had moved in and had eggs. It was filled with thousands of spiders. We ended up throwing it out because we could not get rid of the spiders. We'd kill one and ten more would show up.

  • @royal_diadem - 

    One of my dreams is to get to the world Series but only if one of the teams that I follow are playing. That is awesome that he won tickets.

  • @sle21408 - 

    Thank you. Over the past year my body has slowed down tremendously and all the aches and pains have left me feeling like I am in my 50s. One of the best jobs I have had to stay young is that of a teacher. The kids that you teach always stay the same age. Like every year I would teach 5th grade so the kids would always be 10-11.

  • Your motivation posts are always my favorite. I always look foward to them.

  • @its_me_katie - 

    Thank you. There is just something about this posters that I love. I saw one in my mom's office the other day when I asked her if I should see a doctor and the poster made no sense. It was a picture of a rose covered with dew and I think the big word was perseverance and the words under it had no connection to the main word.

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - 

    LOL, that would truly rock. Even better though: Stuart Smalley for 2016 dammit!!! "America, you're good enough, you're smart enough and gosh darn it, other nations like you"

  • I love the War and Leadership - especially right together/side-by-side.  I can understand the "ball" sport of Rugby happening once in a million.  But what of the chances of catching two at a time?  Does that happen that often?  Maybe it happens all the time, I don't know.

  • LMFAO! Yeah, my school hallways are covered with posters like these. Except, they are like the ones you saw in your mom's office, not these awesome ones you post on xanga.

  • @curiousdwk - 

    One of my students fathers' played rugby for one of the University of Wisconsins and he said that he was lucky to have children because every match-up his balls took quite a beating...not in the good way. Oh and the war and leadership ones...I just realized I had those next to each other.

  • @bosefius - 

    I can just see the bumper stickers now.

    Everything is smoother with a beard? I don't know. My ex made me shave if I wanted to partake of a certain activity.

    I see you are having fun with embrown88. She was the one who blocked and reported me for sexual harassment. Apparently timestamping my Cocky post made her think that I was forcing her to look at my cock. Some people just don't understand juvenile humor.

  • @its_me_katie - 

    Here I was thinking the posters in my high school were lame. We mostly had one that cheerleaders put up to encourage us to fight with all our might because we are the mighty mighty Knights. It was so lame and made me hate being part of sports. We also had anti-abortion posters everywhere as well posters of church service schedules for the area and then recruitment posters for the military.

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - 

    Embrown88 is 'special'. I've written several blogs about her, nothing recent, like around New Years. She messaged me, asked a question, I answered politely and she freaked out, kept messaging me back. Suddenly, she sends that I need to stop bothering her... after she messaged me again. I have not doubt that she has tried to report me, and I am sure it was laughed away since I posted all our messages in a blog. I think she is truly mentally deficient. Take her message today, I haven't even been around in almost a month and she is attacking me. Insane much.

  • @bosefius - 

    I personally love how she goes to people's sites and tells them what not to write about. Like she has come to my site a few times and requested that I no longer write about celebrities. I guess being a 21 year old senior in high school gives you certain privileges that you can enforce your will on everyone's blogs.

    I will have to read your posts about her.

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - 

    Here you go, the first one and the second one

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - 

    LOL, I just took it easy for the entire day ;)

    thaynks for postin em!

  • @pansybradshaw - 

    Thanks...I have a few more that I want to post so I'll let you know. As you know in Lutheran synods they have quite extensive hymnals. Well the director of my choir was the chairman of the committee that compiled my synod's most recent hymnal. It was awesome, not in the slangy way, to be directed by that man and also to have him as a teacher for a class on Lutheran worship practices. In our hymnal he has written many of the alternate settings and updated lyrics because we no longer speak with "thees" and "thous". The hymnal it replaced contained hymns with 5 flats and 5 sharps. He changed things around to make hymns and liturgy easier to play.

    A Mighty Fortress- I can't remember the setting for that but it is an older one because the wording is different from our new version of A Mighty Fortress

    Te Deum- I love that song and love belting out the bass line when we sing it in church. When we had our first mass practice for the hymn fest were we sang it, I had chills because of how beautiful it sounded in our gym.

    All that Hath Life- I didn't care for it but there are two points that I enjoy and that is the point where one voice section starts singing Praise to the Lord and then the other is where everyone in the choir is singing whatever lines from the song.

    For All the Saints- I have never heard that expression. I think my synod is slowly inching away from Latin because so much of Lutheran writings are in German and the Bible was originally written in Greek and Hebrew.

    The King of Love- That came straight from our hymnal and the professor I talked about before directed it as a round. I can't imagine how one man can direct 400-500 people singing a round.

  • so to which synod do you belong
