Last night, my kids and I were sitting in the living room and I said to them, 'I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.'
They got up, unplugged the Computer, and threw out my wine. They are such asses ...
Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch. Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock. Upon leaving, the brunette tells her sister,'When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home.'
The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she wants to buy it. The man tells her that he will sell it for $599, no less. After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news. She walks into the telegraph office, and says, 'I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home.'
The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then adds, it will cost 99 cents a word.' Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one word.
After a few minutes of thinking, she nods and says, 'I want you to send her the word 'comfortable.'
The operator shakes his head. 'How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her just the word 'comfortable?'
The brunette explains, 'My sister is a blonde. The word is big. She'll read it very slowly.... 'com-for-da-bul.'
I recently was talking to my sister-in- law Paula about that contagious Twitter.com that's seems to be taking over the planet. Well the web guru that she is, she was giving me some tips on how I could increase my Twitter followers (twitter.com/kayachi)which one way was following a lot of other people. I know you guys are like o.k. so what were some other tips she gave you? But unfortunately that's not the purpose of this posting so let me get back on the subject.
My reply to her was something like "So o.k. I will follow". This made me think of U2's 1980 hit "I Will Follow" from their album Boy. I love that song and I thought to myself this could be Twitter's new theme song. I mean c'mon....a big collabo with one of the greatest bands on earth as well as the biggest social networking site where people just can't get enough of and both have a ton of followers. At the end of the day it makes sense. So the next time you go to twitter.com, don't be shocked if you hear some U2, especially if someone from Twitter reads my blog.
Yes, I'm a major Depeche Mode fan!! When I first heard that Depeche Mode was coming out with a new album, I was so excited. It made me think of one of my favorite albums....Violator that came out in 1990. This was there seventh album by the English band who formed in 1980 and the electrorock group consisted originally of Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andrew Fletcher, and Vince Clarke. Depeche Mode recorded about 12 albums and another goodie album was Music for the Masses which came before the Violator album. Along with groups like U2, Depeche Mode is one of the longest lived and influential bands having record sales in excess of 100 million. So one of my favorite songs I enjoyed on the Violator album was "Enjoy the Silence". For all of you Depeche Mode fans, I'm taking you back in time. Oh and I know this video is kinda weird but weren't a lot of videos weird? ENJOY THE SILENCE :)
Wow ....this shirt from illstreetbluesclothing brought back a lot of good memories so I just had to get it and since then, I have been on some music forums posing the question of which album was better....Thriller or the Purple Rain album? Yeah Yeah I know its a tough call but my vote is Purple Rain....I just loved Purple Rain. Now don't get me wrong, I know the Thriller album was and is still the #1 album sold of all times and I love the Thriller album too but if I had too choose, I have to go with P.R.
I mean " Purple Rain", "When Doves Cry, "The Beautiful Ones, "I Would Die 4 U" and so on and so on! I just remember playing that album over and over gazing at my Prince poster from dawn till dusk. From the album and his concert to seeing the Purple Rain Movie about 500 times, I was in Purple Rain land back in the day. It's also good to point out that Prince wrote and produced this great album as well.
Of course though I have to give respect to Thriller. When Thriller was released, I rushed out like a mad woman to get the album and when the 14 minute Thriller video came out, I totally was GLUED to my TV. Back then, a team of us girls also won first place for our remake of the Thriller dance (man all these years I wonder what the heck did I do with my trophy....hmmmmm.) Anywho, my two favorite songs besides Thriller were the infamous "Billie Jean", and the slow cut "The Lady in my Life".
So I just thought it would be fun to pose this question. I know that both were great artists and I guess at the end of the day, its just a preference. Oh and since I like funny stuff, I had to show this Dave Chappelle clip as Prince and the second clip shows 1500 inmates from the Philippines practicing the Thriller dance.....wow how both of these artists have made a huge impact!
