Let’s Get Something Straight Between Us

Okay speculation jumpers!  I had no intention of spilling the beans until the time was right, but I think that I need to set the record straight..

My bit of good news is this....

Tuesday morning I received an email asking to call a certain individual.  They wanted to know how I was doing and that I should give them a call sometime VERY soon.

Later that night I called this person and they pretty much asked if I had ever thought about working for him.  He pitched his idea and said that I am practically at the top of the list.  I guess being weird actually has a use in this day and age.

I really can’t spill the beans on the exact details of the job, because there is a CERTAIN person that would love to find anyway to make sure that I didn’t get it.  (and NOOOOOOOOOOOO, MG is not that person).  I highly doubt that they’ll be able to afford me, so honestly, if this comes through I will faint. 

So, there you have it!!

Knock Knock

Well, the old saying is that when a door closes, God opens a window or some kind of opening.

How true that is. 

I can’t go into details right now, but just let’s just say that God does have a sense of humor..

YGG:  Pick it Up!

As long as Yo Gabba Gabba is on the air, I’ll be a major fan of it. 

My latest anthem around the house is this....  Mo and I need to sing it a lot (if you get my hint).

Mo-isms:  Third Time’s A Charm

Lately, Mo has been on this kick of asking for something.. OVER AND OVER until she finally gets her way.  (Well, not always getting her way).

Today’s adventure takes place in the kitchen.  Picture it if you will.... 

Mo: Daddy, can I have a Tootsie Roll?
Mo: Daddy!  A Tootsie Roll Please!!
Daddy: Mo.  How many times have you asked me?
Mo: Two.
Daddy: Mo.  How many times do you think it’s necessary to ask me. 
Mo: Three.

There you have it folks.  Proof that redundancy is alive and well.

What’s the score?!?

This article does a better job at explaining it then I ever could. (Click to read)

October 14, 1992

Here’s my recap of the story.  I was attending school in Nyack, NY.  The game was on in the main hall of the dorm.  Instead of watching it, I decided to head to the music practice rooms with Dottie to, um, practice.  Yeah.. That’s what it’s called.  Before walking out of the dorm, I checked the score pirates were winning.  Cool.  They win this game and they’re headed to the World Series. 

Dottie and I ‘practiced’ and when I got back to the dorm, the entire place was quiet.  I thought they were Pirates haters and weren’t happy that they won. 

“What’s the score?” I asked. 

“Braves 3, Pirates 2, Game over”. 

I was shocked, stunned.  It was like someone kicked my grandmother down a flight of stairs. 

Still to this day, I will never forget that night.  Still to this day, when someone asks “What’s the score?” My gut instinct replies…

“Braves 3, Pirates 2”

To this day, they have not had a winning season since. 

*sigh*

A moment to ponder

Through the Years

Moving on from the LOVE SUCKS to the AWWW HOW SWEET category…

Everyone here at TMP (that would be me and my many moods) want to wish my MOM and DAD a happy 37th Wedding Anniversary. 

Lord knows how they’ve done it.  I’m just glad to see them as happy as can be.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD!

Enough Said!

Most people know that REM gets on my nerves, but for one night I can’t think of any other song..

TMP:  The Salteens

It’s not everyday that you discover a band while watching one of your daughter’s TV shows. 

Yo Gabba Gabba! is a new show on Nick Jr. that has been getting the attention of a lot of people lately.  I remember MONTHS ago reading an article about it but couldn’t find when/where the show was on. 

Anyway, I knew that they were featuring bands because one on my favorite bands, The Aquabats, did a song on there, but while going through a few more of the episodes I was delighted to make this find. 

I introduce you to The Salteens.  Check ‘em out.  The first video is the one that aired on the show, the second is a bonus one just because I think you’re all so super neat!

Let me ask you a question…

You are in need of help so you call a customer service hotline hoping that the person on the other end can help you.

You get into your issue and all of a sudden you hear the customer service rep chomping on the other end.  You don’t know what’s he eating, but he’s comping and talking to you with his mouth full.

How would that make you feel?

TMP:  Rosie Thomas

Lately, I’ve been getting into reading some of the music blogs out there to discover new music.

One of the blogs I frequent posted a video from an artist I hadn’t heard of before.  I checked it out and was pleasantly surprised.  The more I listen to the song, the more it grows on me. 

Give it a listen/watch and let me know what you think ..

Hockey Season is Upon Us!

With annoying football here and baseball winding down, hockey is starting to flex it’s muscle. 

Bring it on.  I’m ready. I’ve been waiting patiently.  Very patiently.  Okay, who am I kidding.  I’m not patient.  Remember?
