WTF??!!

I WAS going to post something else here today but this story is eating my brain so I just had to vent about it

I had heard a very brief bit about this on the news yesterday morning – but missed the actual report – those of you who pay more attention to the news may have heard more about it - although it hasn’t exactly gotten as much attention as I would think something like this would get... if this took place in America it would probably be all we would hear about (like the polygamists out in Texas… which is a whole other piece of insanity for a different day)

imagine being sexually abused by your father from the age of 11 – then when you’re 18, being drugged and locked in the basement and forced to write a letter telling your mother you ran away from home – then being repeatedly raped by your father as he holds you captive under ground for TWENTY FOUR YEARS!!!

imagine bearing 7 of his children!! (one of which, the sick son of a bitch threw in an incinerator when it died a few a days after birth)

imagine BEING one of those children

imagine being one of those children and living down in that dark basement your ENTIRE life never experiencing any of the every day sights, sounds and smells that we all take for granted

never once EVER setting foot on grass, breathing fresh air, seeing the sky, feeling the warmth of the sun or the coolness of raindrops - never once smelling a flower… never running or jumping or playing

never going to the park… or school for that matter

never running through a sprinkler on a hot summer day… never seeing a rainbow… probably never even hearing of a rainbow

never kicking a ball or playing tag… never seeing a movie… never sitting on the curb and trying to lick up your ice cream cone before it melts all over your hand

never reading a book… feeling the breeze on your face… or hearing the birds sing

imagine in the year 2008 never having been outside of a windowless basement, never having seen let alone ridden in a car or experienced ANYTHING other than (what I can only guess were unimaginable horrors) in a basement prison held captive by a deranged old man

imagine being the mother of those children – and knowing that THEIR father is YOUR father… imagine never getting to watch your babies grow and play and laugh like normal children… never getting to teach them to ride a bike or watch them get on the school bus for the first time or push them on the swings… or help them build a sand castle or see them squeal with delight as they jump into a pile of leaves

imagine being one of those children and living up in the real world being raised by this twisted piece of shit and not even knowing that your mother is locked in the basement or that you have siblings down there as well

can you imagine it? cause I can’t!! I can’t wrap my mind around how any of this is possible… how a person could be so sick and twisted as to even think of this, let alone pull it off… for more than TWO DECADES!!

what has to happen to a person’s brain to make them into the kind of monster that could do something like this?

how are those people ever supposed to live anything even close to a normal life?

I have heard some truly disturbing, nauseating, heart breaking stories of horrific things that some people have had to suffer at the hands of other ‘alleged’ human beings… and after all that I've read and seen I actually didn’t think anything could shock me anymore!!

but I guess I was wrong - I am so angry and sad for these people there aren’t even words to describe it...

I am ashamed of belonging to the same species as the monsters that do these things…
I am ashamed of myself for letting the (extremely small in comparison) trauma and crap that I have dealt with in my life make me a victim…
and I am ashamed of myself for taking even one moment of my amazing and beautiful life for granted - I don’t intend to let it happen again…

PeeYoo!!

ok something freakin’ STINKS in my refrigerator – it’s been stinking for a week now… last Saturday before we went grocery shopping I tossed out what little there was in there that MIGHT have been the culprit… since the fridge was nearly empty I didn’t go nuts with it I just hoped the smell would be gone

when I filled it back up with all our new groceries I noticed the smell was still there – I thought ‘sometime this week I’ll have to take everything out and clean off the shelves’ then a couple days ago I remembered that the previous week I had bought boneless skinless chicken breast and thought maybe the packages had leaked on that shelf even though it doesn’t particularly smell like that kind of stink – more like some kind of rotting produce… MAYBE - I can’t really tell

yesterday I took the whole fridge apart, threw out anything that looked even a little bit old or suspicious, took out the drawers and shelves and scrubbed them down – at that point I had been sitting in front of the open fridge for long enough that I couldn’t tell whether or not it still smelled so I assumed it didn’t – I mean HOW could it? everything in there is fresh and clean

but it DOES!! it STINKS!!

even when I open the freezer… I mean nothing in a FREEZER should smell bad – certainly not like THIS anyway

it has been suggested that something may have rolled UNDER the fridge – but then I would think I would smell it other than when the door is opened

my sister suggested maybe something got into the refrigeration unit and died – again it doesn’t really smell like a dead animal – maybe more like a rotten potato… or seriously spoiled milk? I don’t keep my potatoes anywhere near the fridge and the only milk in there is perfectly fresh - I don’t know but it’s FREAKING ME OUT!!

I do NOT like bad smells – my nose is hypersensitive – when I worked in my mother’s deli I was able to smell people’s cologne while they were still in their car and I was inside the store (mostly only in the morning when it was freshly applied) but still…

this is the kind of stink that everyone can smell… I’m concerned that it’s clinging to us when we leave the house haaaa - remember that episode of Seinfeld when Kramer goes swimming in the east river and stinks up everything he touches? this kinda smells like that would smell – YUCK!!

now that I’ve cleaned out and scoured the fridge I have no idea what more I can do… hope that whatever it is hurries up and decomposes? wear nose plugs? get a new fridge?

I don't know but I don't like it!!

whatever...

the weather couldn’t have been nicer this weekend… this is what it’s come to – talking about the weather

but seriously – it was GORGEOUS!! we’ve been grilling a lot lately… partly because it’s yummy – partly out of necessity… we’re having water issues again so I’m trying to minimize the amount of dishes I dirty lately (must be someone’s way of teaching us how to survive with less)
if I flip the circuit breaker box we can practice living the way the frontier people lived – we’re already half way there

the way things are going with gas/food prices it would definitely be in our best interest to learn some survival skills haaaa

thanks to globalization *GAG* we’ve been able to enjoy some lovely genetically modified corn on the cob, strawberries and watermelon – WOO HOO

whatever – I can only worry about so much… and I get tired hopping from soapbox to soapbox

April in kittyville, basically means genetically modified and or 3rd world produce or no produce at all – BAH! – sorry I just I can’t eat one more freakin’ grapefruit… so there!!


Sam and I have been gung ho on the idea of organizing our humble abode – we figure if we have to live here for now – we best do what we can to make it more bearable

I’ll spare you the boring details of the actual organizing – suffice to say Mr. Rubbermaid can probably send his children to college now

I’m kind of the organization queen… I have a need for everything to be neat and in it’s place – the saying ‘a place for everything and everything in it’s place’ was probably written by me in a former life or something

I’ll usually do whatever I have to do in order to create organization – and make things easily accessible… for instance hanging a shoe bag in my kitchen to hold all the stuff that would normally go inside the cabinets I don’t have… (baking soda, corn starch, cooking spray, honey, meat thermometer, microplane etc.) I CAN’T stand having to dig around looking for things – I want everything handy!!

I REALLY think one of the reasons I’ve sorta been floundering since we’ve been living here is because of the lack of storage and organization – particularly in the kitchen and ‘craft’ departments

I’ve spent some time over the last year or so getting my kitchen into some sort of workable order – and now it’s time to work on the living room (mainly my art/craft stuff)

I have SO MUCH stuff and like NO storage… all my stuff is crammed into foot lockers and totes or inside my end tables (which open up for storage)
but I end up never using any of it because I waste all my time and energy looking for whatever I’ll need to do a project – I can’t find the paintbrush I need or the right paper or whatever

while I was sorting through some stuff on Saturday I found a couple of my metal punching tools which Sam had gotten me for Christmas oh I don’t know… five years ago? I have yet to finish one punching project… no wait, sorry – I DID finish ONE

I plan to SOME DAY have a punched copper ceiling in my kitchen – at the rate I’m going I’ll have to change that plan from kitchen ceiling to the ceiling of my room at the nursing home

one of my problems is that I have too many projects I want to do – it kind of becomes overwhelming – and I’m sort of overwhelmed enough by everything else that goes on in life so by the time I get done with my regular stuff I’m usually too burnt out to get involved in anything else

then I feel guilty because here I am with the chance that so many people wish they had… a basically FREE schedule, time to myself, the option of having peace & quiet (sort of) a great husband who loves and encourages me to do the things I enjoy... and so much of the time it feels like I’m wasting it

strangely it’s actually quite a bit of pressure (for me) I feel like I should be doing things – and when I don’t get to them I feel guilty and disappointed

in my defense – most of the time when I do sit down and try to do stuff I am interrupted… even by Sam – and that bugs the crap out of me!!

although I’m sure it bugs the crap out of him when I interrupt him when he sits down and tries to do something… which is far more often than when I actually get around to starting a project

especially since he NEVER gets time alone

anyway this was not the point of this post – actually there was no point to this post… I just thought I’d sit down and put my fingers to the keys and see what came out

I’m not in a real great mood today – actually I haven’t been for days now… aside from having my stupid period *BLECH* some family junk is weighing me down… plus I think it might partly have something to do with my stuff actually being more organized and I just have no inspiration (or energy) to do anything – even though it’s all pretty easily accessible now

maybe my first thing should be to make a to-do list of all the projects I’ve been wanting to get done... that does help to make things seem less overwhelming – especially the way my brain is so scattered all the time

so here goes…

~ work on book for niece
~ work on other book I was brainstorming
~ FINALLY get recipe book together
~ make ‘tree’ appliqué
~ work on Christmas cards
~ paint at least a dozen glass balls
~ organize photos

there that’s good enough for now… I guess all that’s left to do is pick something… but how to choose? hmmm

draw from a hat?
eenie meenie miney mo?
one potata two potata?

I think I need a nap...

what were they thinking??

I’m sure I’m not the only one who usually tunes out most of what comes on the tv – especially commercials (yes I’m back on the commercials again) but every now and then one just jumps out and grabs my attention

most recently it’s this one for a new acid reflux medication called ACIPHEX

(close your eyes and say it)

seriously – who the hell thought this one up??

the first time I heard it I thought it was a gag… like a SNL or MAD TV skit… ‘ASSFX - FROM SPISHAK’

it’s just too bad it’s not an anti-gas medication

anyway - speaking of SPISHAK – and in honor of our Jewish friends

another TOTALLY AWESOME VIDEO!! hehehe

things you don’t expect to hear at the grocery store…

so there I am minding my own business, standing in front of the pork tenderloins when a lady points and tells me I have a little pee on my sweater…

I’m looking at her like… did I hear you right? and if so how the hell can you tell??
it’s a fuzzy black sweater… I’d be surprised if you could even tell it was wet let alone determine what the wetness was

then she walks over and points to a little pea pod stuck to my boob!!

ahhhh DUH! that makes much more sense

so I laughed and said 'well that's MUCH better than the other kind of pee huh?'

she kinda laughed in this 'I don't get it' kind of way and said something about how she isn't a big fan of any kind of peas

(I was glad to discover I wasn't the only dumb ass in this story!!)

why the hell do they make words that sound the same but mean totally different things... I mean seriously - if someone told you ya had a little 'pea' on your sweater... wouldn't you automatically think 'pee'?

even though you KNOW there's no way there is urine on your sweater... AND you had just been leaning over the loose pea bin not 5 minutes earlier... hehehe

BAM!!

I’ve always been kinda sensitive to music – it can REALLY affect my mood… particularly when I’ve been sleeping!

this was kind of a pain when I was a teenager because apparently I was the only kid who couldn’t stand to have music on at bed time – so if I was spending the night over at a friend’s house I never got much sleep… I’m guessing it was the same when they were at my house too because they all claimed they couldn’t sleep without it

even now Sam listens to music every night as he’s going to sleep… if we want to sleep together he has to wear headphones (it took us years to come up with that solution… haaa!) I think sometimes it’s a bit of a pain for him… he can never sleep on his side (THAT would drive me crazy!!)

I’ve also never been able to wake up to music (which is proably why I can’t go to sleep to it… because at some point I WILL wake up to it as well)
I could never have a radio as my alarm because if I wake up to the wrong song it can totally ruin my day

it’s all about the ‘fear’ (I hate to use that word because it’s not actually a FEAR) of hearing something that will make me depressed AND the ‘fear’ of waking up from a yucky place in my head to a song I love and having it ruined by the feeling a dream might have given me

while I’m awake I have managed to learn to control my surroundings and my reactions to things in a way… I can avoid a lot of unpleasant thinking and feelings – but while I’m asleep I’m in a different place mentally… a place where it seems a lot of yuck is closer to the surface so when I wake up to a song that I LOVE, but have just been in a bad place in my dream it can totally ruin that song for me FOREVER

and if I wake to a song that is depressing (to me) it REALLY touches a nerve and can throw me into a really yucky place while I’m awake (which I HATE… of course, I mean who doesn’t?)

I don’t know if I’m just overly sensitive or what my deal is… but it kinda sucks!!

especially lately!!

I don’t know if you’ve noticed – although if you watch tv at all I don’t know HOW you could miss it – there is a commercial about animal cruelty, with Sarah McLachlan… a LONG commercial… not your typical 30 seconds… ohhh nooo this fucker is probably a full 2 minutes!! throughout the commercial they play a Sarah McLachlan song called angel… or arms of an angel (or something like that) – I don’t know and I don’t want to know!!

now the commercial (which is filled with images of abused animals that makes you wish you could take them ALL home and love & squeeze them until they or you explode) would be gut wrenching enough WITHOUT this god awful, suicide inspiring song – but noooooooo they have to get your attention with music to open a vein to

don’t get me wrong – I’m ALL for bringing attention to the plight of abused animals… I think it’s disgusting what some people do to them and my heart breaks just even thinking that another human being could do something so terrible

but this commercial is killing me!! I can’t stand it one more minute!!

the worst part is that it’s played more at night – or at least that is when I see it most (and I have my tv on ALL DAY LONG!!) I can be going along just fine all day… then it seems just as I nod off at night

BAM!!

that music starts up – if I’m lucky I wake up almost instantly and manage to change the channel quick before the song worms its way into my brain

one night (one of the first times I had the misfortune of hearing/seeing this commercial) I wasn’t so lucky… I woke up when it was half over and it had somehow worked its way into my dream or something… I woke up with this sickening feeling of sadness in my gut and in my head that stuck with me all night and the whole next day

THIS is why I can’t stand that commercial – I never want to feel that feeling again… not even a little bit!! but every time I hear that song it brings back that feeling and I just can’t stand it – so when it comes on while I’m sleeping I kinda freak out because I’m afraid that feeling will stick with me again like it did that one night

anyway… like I said they play it a lot at night… particularly on SPIKE which seems odd but I’m sure it’s because of that scumbag sports guy (whose name isn’t worth remembering) who was caught torturing his dogs a few months back

I watch that channel quite a bit because they are always playing reruns of CSI – so when there is nothing else on and I’ve had enough of the freakin’ food network I put on CSI

I noticed they were running all 6 star wars movies over the last two weekends – I LOVE the star wars movies… particularly the old ones (IV, V & VI) they remind me of when I was a kid – I LOVE all that 70’s & 80’s junk… plus they are GREAT sleepy time movies!! so I was all excited… even though I have a couple of them on dvd I thought it would be cool to record them on the DVR – that way when I’m having one of my bad weeks where I can’t sleep I can always pop one of them on… it requires less thought and action than getting up, finding a dvd, putting it on, finding the right remote etc. etc. – and at 2 in the morning when all I want to do is sleep… the less I have to think or do the better off I am!!

so I thought – GREAT I’ll record these movies… this way they’re at my disposal – any time I need them, there they are… plus – if I’m watching something I recorded there are no surprises… what are the odds that something unpleasant is going to appear in that stinkin’ two hour clip on that particular channel

the first night (last Friday) Sam was off doing… something on the computer (I think) and I was just vegging in front of the tv (this is how all couples spend their Friday nights, right?) I snuggle into my chair and turn on spike to watch Episode I (which I had been anxiously anticipating all week long) and as usual I nod off within 20 minutes (I’m due for my period – I’m always extra sleepy when I’m due for my period) – anyway… wouldn’t ya know a half hour into the stupid movie

BAM!!

that damn commercial… I woke up saying ‘you have GOT to be kidding me!!’
seriously… I can NOT escape that fucking commercial!! it feels like EVERY time I nod off – BAM!!

it’s starting to piss me off – I woke up, quick muted the tv, looked for another channel to pass the 2 minutes and then turned it back and fell asleep

the next day I erased that recording… I knew it was being run again that afternoon right before they ran episode II so I thought I’d just record it then…

sure enough… THAT recording has the fucking commercial in it too!!

as did episode II, which came on right after it… so I erased episode II and recorded IT when they played it again the next day right before Episode III

SAME FUCKING THING!! in both the second try at episode II AND episode III

I gave up – erased them all and waited for this past weekend when they were running the ones I REALLY wanted anyway…

but the SAME thing happened again… EVERY single time they ran either of the movies… somewhere in there is that fucking commercial… it’s a conspiracy

either that or they must REALLY think that Star Wars geeks are at an increased risk of becoming animal abusers or something… or maybe they think people who watch that stuff are more compassionate and willing to donate to their cause… who knows… all I know is it’s driving me BATTY!!!

there are a handful of songs which I think the master copies and all other copies and anything that might possibly lead people to recreate them should be destroyed… THAT song is #1 on the list

personally I think Sarah McLachlan and the other ladies of lilith fair should be chained to a tree and forced into some sort of steel cage death matches - so none of us ever have to be subjected to their depressing warblings again – but that might just be my poor tormented sleepless brain talking

YES I care about the animals - YES I think anyone who intentionally hurts an animal should be dragged into the village square and stoned to within an inch of their lives

but is it REALLY fair to abuse US with the constant playing and replaying of that fucking commercial???

incase by some freak chance you have never seen it (and you missed the link above) here is the commercial I’m talking about…

hey if I have to suffer through it then dammit so do you!!

stuff...

lets see... Ohio friend and her family are in town for a visit this week (for the first time in 2 years) so I've been hanging out with her whenever possible - that's been nice... the other day we went to the park down the road... Ohio friend's kids had spent the night before over at the house of another old friend (we'll call her 'K') so that all their kids could play... since they hadn't seen eachother in 2 years and didn't know when they would see eachother again, rather than send the kids home she thought it would be nice to take them all to the park the next day... that way they could all play and get their fill of eachother before they get split up again

so we all went to the park - the kids played - the adults sat and chatted... it was a beautiful spring day and it was really nice to just hang out and do nothing but relax and chit chat in the fresh air
although I really can't help but wonder when the hell I went from being one of the playing kids to being a chit chatting adult - seriously!! GAH!!

actually when I was a kid I almost always hung around the adults more anyway... they always had to shoo me off if they ever wanted to have any real adult conversation

of course now that I AM an adult I can't help but notice that most of the conversation is about kids haaaa

surprise surprise - decades later I'm still a bit of an outcast hehehe

anyway - while we had the chance, K and I did our best to try to convince Ohio friend that she should move back here (I don't think we were successful) =(

I think I mentioned a few weeks ago that Sam had a double ear infection... did I? I don't remember - anyway he did... he took antibiotics and it never went away - now he's on another course of antibiotics (something called cindamycin) of which he has to take SIX a day (2 - 2 and 2) AND an 8 day course of prednisone - which is I guess to minimize the inflammation... apparently when the doctor looked in his ears, the only word she could think of to describe what she saw was 'gnarly'

so he is a little freaked out... being the music freak that he is I think he'd completely lose it if anything ever happened to his hearing
I guess she told him that if this doesn't work, he'll have to see an ear, nose & throat doctor - so keep your fingers crossed =)


I think that's pretty much all that's been going on here this week... there's no new news about my grandfather but as far as that goes 'no news is good news' I guess

I'm having a bit of a PMS time right now so I'm feeling kinda down... which is partly why I don't seem to have much interest in blogging - maybe next week will be better hehehe

in the meantime - someone sent me this TOTALLY AWESOME VIDEO - which I just HAD to share with you guys!!

ENJOY!! and have a GREAT weekend =)

it’s all starting to make sense…

I’ve been into scary stuff all my life… as long as I can remember anyway – but it’s always been kind of a mystery to me because other than my mother reading a few Stephen King novels, I wasn’t raised around people who were into horror or anything like that – so I always wondered how I came to be into that stuff

recently I was looking at my bookshelf and came across a book my mother got me when I was probably about 7 or 8, called Alfred Hitchcock’s Haunted Houseful (nine cool stories about haunted houses and ghosts for boys and girls)

and I thought… how odd that anyone would get a kid a book full of ghost stories... you’d think that sort of thing would scare a kid - BUT since the book was published, clearly I wasn’t the only weird kid out there

we lived with my mother’s boyfriend and in our living room we had a wall that was probably 12 feet long and floor to ceiling bookshelves just stuffed full of books – and I’m thinking his ex wife (or maybe his oldest daughter who had moved out by then) must have been into horror because there were quite a few horror novels on those shelves which I read over the years… I would lock myself in the bathroom with them (the only place I could get peace & quiet)

being so young when I got that haunted house book, when I saw it on my shelf I had to wonder what made her get it for me… surely I was too young to have really expressed an interest in the macabre – but my mother must have noticed I was reading those novels and maybe she got me this book because it was more age appropriate

anyway - the other day I was reading Whirly’s blog (I’d link it but he’s asked me not to) he had written about old radio shows (Jack Benny, the Shadow, Dragnet) ya know… from back in the day before TV started rotting our brains – if you don’t know what I’m talking about then you’re seriously missing out!!

when I was a little kid (in the 70’s) apparently someone tried to revive the old radio shows with something called the CBS radio mystery theater - which was filled with the sounds of creaking doors and spooky ghosts and other mysterious and scary things…

doesn’t exactly sound like it would make a good children’s bedtime story does it?

yet this is what my grandma would put on for me when she would tuck me in at night… according to my mother I would NOT sleep without it - from the time I was a little toddler… I HAD to have my mystery theater!!

I never really thought much about it as I got older – I remembered listening to it and how much I loved it… but I never put much thought into what exactly I was listening to – laying there all snuggled into bed at the ripe old age of 4 or 5 – falling asleep to ghost stories and whatnot

but when Whirly brought them up I was reminded of my old beloved Radio Mystery Theater and was able to track down and listen to some old episodes…

and it all started to make sense… THIS must be how I was introduced to ‘the dark side’ – it doesn’t explain why I liked it but it explains how I came to be into this type of stuff – which is kinda cool... and ironic hehehe ~ MYSTERY SOLVED =)

when I was a little older my grandparents had found a place where they could buy other old radio shows (from the 30’s, 40’s & 50’s) on audio cassette, so they got us kids a bunch of them – and I just thought they were so awesome!! (especially the old commercials) my favorite show was Blondie (as in Blondie and Dagwood... NOT this Blondie… which I also love)

I only have one of those old cassettes left (and no cassette player) so for years I’ve been looking for a way to listen to those old shows again – which is why I was SO psyched to have found THIS PLACE that has dozens of old radio shows, FREE for your listening pleasure (although I DO plan on making a donation) because I think it’s sad how this art form has pretty much died and been replaced by the mind numbing, imagination killing, complete and utter crap that we have now (which is really saying something considering what a total TV junkie I am) and I'm SO glad that SOMEONE is finally making them available again!!

I’ve spent the last couple days listening to old episodes… and plan to make a couple cd’s – and I’ve been enjoying them so much I just had to share it with you guys

if you’re at all interested in taking a trip back to a time when things were simpler (especially if you’re not familiar with old time radio shows) I really hope you’ll check it out – sometimes they can be a little corny… but I think that’s part of their charm

like I said it’s also interesting to hear the old commercials (which they have a separate section of) for products that sponsored the shows - and some of the old news stories that sometimes play before or during the shows

anyway it’s all really neat – so if you’re ever looking for something ‘different’ to entertain you I highly recommend them… they’re especially good for when you’re doing housework or paperwork and can’t really sit down and look at the tv – or when you’re trying to relax at night and don’t want the stimulation of the flashing lights or overly loud, obnoxious television commercials

I could go on all day about how great I think these old radio shows are but I won’t hehehe you’ll just have to check them out for yourself…

HERE and HERE and HERE

are some of the places I've found that offer full episodes for FREE

ENJOY!!
