Traditonally, if we're not busy with other things or too lazy, we put the tree up shortly after TG holiday and over the course of Decemeber the rest of the decorations go up but that's pretty much been scaled down to a tree and a village. I pretty much do it all by myself these days. Parents are too lazy. The decorations stay up until a few days after New Years.

Christmas use to be fun for me, now its just a hassle since Im the only one doing it and no family around. Back when the family use to be within driving distance of each other, it use to be loads of fun.

I had no intentions of continuing a previous drabble but this is what came up for this weeks prompt so I decided to do it anyway. Heh. Should this continue in a another drabble, which it might since I have the next scene already in my head, I may make this a drabble series. Dunno yet.

( Things never change... )

*jumps on soap box*

Let me just say that the IMDB is full of morons. Why do I say this? I just read a thread concerning the new Ice Age movie that is coming out and how that person is upset because the franchise is introducing dinosaurs and therefore ruining scientific fact about that period in history. Fortunately there was one or two people in that thread that were trying to set the record straight but they were outnumbered by the idiotic, religious fanatics and scientific douchebags and overprotective parents (which in my opinion are all a bunch of morons that need a reality check in their lives) so their intelligence got drowned out by all the stupidity of the others.

Yes there are dinosaurs in the movie. There were dinosaurs in the other two movies too. Ice Age had one frozen. Ice Age 2 had two of them for villains and now Ice Age 3 has a whole lost world so having dinosaurs in Ice Age is nothing new. The Lost World has always been a myth in human culture, a world where time had forgotten and that man had yet to discover and touch. It has never been below Hollywood to use myth and legends to make a movie entertaining, especially a cartoon movie. But there is the key word. "Entertaining". Hollywood's goal is to entertain the populace and make money off of entertaining them. If cheesy two-dimensional plots are found entertaining by the populace then Hollywood will produce such a movie. If you don't like that kind of movie, then why are you showing an interest in cartoons to begin with? Most of the time they are cheesy, two-dimensional movies.

Yes dinosaurs also did exist at one time. They don't exist now because they died out. To anyone who believes that the Earth is 6000 years old and therefore dinosaurs never existed, you need to go to a museum of natural history and ask the curator to take you back to where they clean the fossils or go to that dinosaur museum where they excavate the fossils in person or just go to Montana and to that valley that's rich for dinosaur fossils. Only a blind man would ignore what is in front of him, but only an idiot would deny the truth when it is laid out before him. I could go on how Creation and Evolution is one and the same thing but that's for another rant for another day.

Now there are the overprotective parents who dislike the Sid and Bull joke that you see in the trailer. They are afraid that little boys and girls will pull out the genitals of other boys and tug on them because of the joke. If they are under the age of 12 they are more than likely not going to get that joke and therefore won't be doing that. If they are older than they have enough sense to not do it unless they are retarded and isolated, sheltered children that haven't been told what is right and wrong then you have some basis to your concerns otherwise your children have brains of their own and you need to learn to trust them and let them be themselves elsewise they'll grow up being ignorant of the real world.

There is also nothing wrong with a child believing that animals can talk. In fact you should encourage things like that but also remind them that it is make-believe. Your child will be happier in his/her childhood and look back on those days with fondness. Parents need not worry about the child continuing to believe that animals can talk because as they grow older, they will outgrow that belief unless, again, they are mentally unwell to begin with then the parent needs to make sure that the child understands that it is make-believe. One of the things that is wrong with society today is that parents refuse to let their children to believe in the absurd and fantastical and the children grow up without an imagination and become prudes essentially. Without imaginative intuition we would have no music, no art, no stories, no movies, no inventions, nothing. We would all be mindless, unthinking, unimaginative drones with no sense of humor and very little happiness in our lives.

( A man so evil that Hell spat him back out... )

You know I'm bored and obsessed when I do this to my desktop icons:





And for those that can't see it:

My father just received a call from his step-mother informing him that grandpa had passed away this morning. I don't know if he (and I) will be going to California for the funeral. I have mixed feelings on the subject; 1) ive only seen the man twice in my entire life. The first time I was real little and I barely remember anything except that I brought a chess board to him and asked if he would play chess with me and he said no. The second time I saw him was a few years ago when he finally realized that he had no family, so to speak, and broke down in front of us all. 2) he is my grandfather after all and the only one that I had left. I never knew my grandfather from my mother's side since he died long before I was born. Not sure what I'll do on this matter.

:(

Chance had her baby last night but the foal did not survive the birth. It died as it was being born! *cries*

My dog nesting in her crate.

OMFG!

I normally do not watch talent shows but I was watching the Today show this morning and they had the story of the Britain's Got Talent latest shocker: Susan Boyle. Lemme just say that it definitely gives truth to the old saying "Never judge a book by its cover"! Hear for yourself if you don't believe me!




Susan Boyle - "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Miserables


And here is an old recording of hers back in 1999 on a charity cd. It makes me wonder why she hadn't been discovered back then with a voice like that.

Susan Boyle - "Cry Me A River" from a 1999 Charity CD

I had the weirdest dream EVER and my god was it detailed...


Okay... for starters the dream started out as a documentary on Hector Barbossa detailing about his life as a pirate and later as a husband and father. It also mentions he had found the means to live a very long life (aka immortal). It shows those old drawings of Barbossa and a couple paintings, etchings of his ship and a book with handscript writing (supposedly his own journal). As I said this is a documentary so I'm seeing it as a film and not in person.
