Concerts in the Park
Last night was interesting in a Thursday night let’s not sit in the house sort of way. We ventured out to the park down the road to see a local Salsa band, have a picnic and socialize with our neighbors and townies. Seems like more and more communities are focusing on the basics, opening up the parks in the summer and showing a movie or having some bands play. Entertainment is free and bringing a picnic is always a fun experience. The kids run around expending energy and everyone seems a little friendlier than just waving to them on the street.
The more urban our overpopulated society gets it seems the less you really know anyone in your community. We all get so focused on our group of friends that we sometimes don’t open up the opportunity of meeting new people. Maybe that is a side benefit of my divorce. Since my wife affectively lied to most of my friends convincing them I was just shy of a serial killer. I have had no choice but to spread the boundaries of who I hang out with. Ironically it is still through kids that you meat so many people who are like minded and compatible.
My two youngest daughters have been in camp this week and it was my youngest and her request for a play date that instigated our venture out on Thursday night. I was happy when the new littler girl’s parents stated they would like to meet us before allowing their child to come over and play. So many parents seem to instantly jump at the chance to have their kids pawned off for an afternoon that meeting the people who will be watching her is only an afterthought. We talked over the phone and made the date excited to be opening up to the community.
The band is really an afterthought at most of these events. It provides the backdrop for a community to interacting while setting up the base for bonding at a level that every local area needs. We met my daughter’s friend and setting up our blanket next to theirs spent about an hour and a half getting to know them. Nice people with an interesting background. He is from a Caribbean island and was acting for a while. They met in New York and moved here a few years ago. Sounds like she works for a company in the bay area that was able to relocate them. Always the best way to move in my book.
It was a nice evening and fun to see the kids let loose. Since my divorce and uprooted status I haven’t seen the kids playing as openly as this in their new surroundings. We are gone so much to the mountains and them only being here every other week doesn’t always allow for the roots to take hold. I had been hoping the camp would provide them more comfort and help solidify their well being in our new home and it seems like it is working. If you don’t participate in these events I would highly recommend it. It is a great way to support your community and also a nice venue to meet people you probably have passed on several occasions yet never met.
Apologies to Rachel McAdams
I wrote a blog “Emma Watson (Obsessed with her Underwear) and in that blog I listed a poll entitled “Who would you like to have 30 minutes in the closet with”. Sadly I did not list Rachel McAdams and that was a gross oversight. Is there anyone out there that can say Rachel is not smoking hot? I mean please people. If you don’t think this girl is gorgeous then you have lost whatever sliver you had of a mind. Insanity has engulfed you. You have fallen into the abyss and you will never return. One could almost list you as crazy as Jon Gosselin who is now apparently engaged to his new twenty two year old girlfriend. It must have been a very long time since he got any for him to commit so quickly.
Was he so thankful after their first night together that his mind went bye bye? What in the hell did Kate do to this guy? The next thing you know Robert Redford will be getting married. Holy shit, wait a minute. He did get married so maybe the rumor is true. Who am I to say really? I believe in love at first sight so call me crazy as well. I just don’t think I could fall for somebody who was 22. Seems a little young to be raising eight kids. Will she be included in the show when it resumes this fall? The only woman I know crazier that Kate is Hillary Clinton. I don’t really have anything to say. I just truly believe that she is insane.
She is packing on the weight lately though. She probably gets tips from Renee Zellweger who is back to bulking up for the third round of Bridgett Jones’ diary. How many diaries did that crazy fat lady write anyway? There are only so many times she can have relationship problems? If we could get John Mayer and Tony Romo in the movie that could have their big brawl on the wide screen. My vote is for Tony I think he would kick John’s ass. Apparently he got fed up with Jessica’s ongoing relationship with the singer and dumped her. Are they really fighting over Jessica Simpson? Didn’t I see a picture of her packing on the country pounds? Not that there is anything wrong with that. hmmmm, wait a minute. Don’t I only have to say that when I insult gay people? What can I use when I insult the rotund?
Maybe if we had a gay, Catholic, overweight, minority person I could get all my punches in one fell swoop and get over myself. Miley Cyrus is going to play a fairy so why can’t I? OK, before all of you gay, catholic, overweight minority people start yelling at me I have no prejudices. I have issues granted. Big issues. Huge issues but I have no prejudices. I hate everyone equally so doesn’t that in a sense make me better than everyone else. I didn’t say you had to follow or understand the logic.
I do want to apologize to Rachel. Not only should she have been in the poll if she were she should have won. Except for my girlfriend. I voted for her. She won’t allow me to post any pictures of her but if she did she would beat out everyone hands down.
Is there anyone else I have to apologize to? If so then please accept my asdl;fkajdsf;lakjdsf;lk. Good luck.
Sex, Love and Death
Hey, that is not the saying I remember. Whatever happened to Sex, Love and Rock and Roll? Did the death of Michael Jackson stun the world into mixing up the word choice or is the disgusting turn of the Harry Potter series into the Sexual Potter series thwarting our sense of reality. Don’t get me wrong. As I have previously pointed out Emma Watson is looking hot at 19 but it just seems wrong to write the words Emma Watson and hot in the same sentence. It reminds me of when Alyssa Milano first grew up and flashed some racy scenes in one of her movies trying to shed her little girl image. Just give it time Emma; life will catch up to you soon enough.
While Emma apparently felt it was disgusting doing her in scene make-out session saying it made her feel incestual some love issues go one step further. Just ask Steve Mcnair who was apparently shot to death by his lover, Sahel Kazemi who then shot herself. Maybe he had enough Indian food and was ready to get Chinese takeout. I guess we will never know but damn wasn’t the guy only 36 or something. Seems so young and final to get shot for partaking of a little roti bread. Ah, I really am getting sadistic in my old age. At least you can read about it on the famous TMZ website. For a while there I thought it had turned into the Michael only website. Who would have thought the initials stood for Totally Michael Zoomology? I think they might be losing sight of reality.
If you want a little dose of reality go to Fort Worth Texas. Not only do the police go to bars looking for drunk people. At least you can’t say they are stupid. If you are looking for assholes that are drunk you are most likely going to find them in a bar. They picked a gay bar “Rainbow Lounge” and commenced to beating them up. I don’t get it. If you have an issue against gay people (not that there’s anything wrong with that) why go to a gay bar to begin with. Maybe the underlying problem here is that several of the Fort Worth police force are still in the closet and when the felt a stirring in the other regions they couldn’t come to grips with their feelings and lashed out in anger.
Get it. The police couldn’t come to GRIPS with their feelings. Maybe if they would have just used their hands for pleasure instead of anger the night would have been like a reunion of the Village People. Can’t we all just get along? Really, I am asking.
So what do Megan Fox and Isabel Lucas have to do with all of the above you might ask? Jesus Christ, nothing. I just love posting their pictures so I throw them into any article I can lately. Just shut the hell up and enjoy. If you want to whine about it all day then quit reading the damn blog. If you are having trouble quitting ask Sarah Palin how it works. She is stepping down from her post as Mayor of the Alaskan oil pipeline and moving on to national politics. Can we possibly assume that McCain was having sex with her and was forced to thrust her into the limelight? I hope he gets his just reward for inflicting our good nation with Palin.
Isn’t there a good allergy medicine we can take to rid ourselves of her once and for all? Hmmmm, wait a minute that is pollen. Well shit close enough.
