Are you a Cheerio? (and not the cereal)

Whether you are Quinn who takes on a permanent cheerio status or Kurt and Mercedes who joined for a short time, they all have one thing in common. They did it.  They joined the team. They put themselves out there and cheered their little hearts out. We all can be Cheerios.

You know those certain buddies we go to for writing advice. Some helps us with plot, others with grammar when we slaughter it mercifully.  Then there is the buddy you call for whining and complaining.  Yup, your cheerio squad!

Ahhh, coach Sue.  Hate to say it but someone has to give us heck.  We wouldn't want to get to full of ourselves.  If we have someone like this though we would either laugh, cry or go slightly insane. Seriously, the stuff she comes out with....
        
      "I'm going to ask you to smell your armpits. That's the smell of failure, and it's stinking up my office."

     "I'm about to projectile express myself all over your Hush Puppies."

     "You think this was hard? Try auditioning for Baywatch and being told they're going in another direction.    That was hard."

     "I'm all about empowerment. I empower my Cheerios to live in a state of constant fear by creating an environment of irrational, random terror."

    "I don't trust a man with curly hair. I keep picturing small birds laying sulfurous eggs in there, and I find it disgusting."

     "You sunk my battleship Rod.  And you sunk it hard."

So, join the squad.  Cheer away.  Get that query written. Stop procrastinating or Coach Sue will be all over you, making you smell your armpits. Failure is for wusses.  Cheer for yourself and cheer for others!  Put in the hard work and reap the rewards!

How is that for a dose of inspiration!  Yea, you go Cheerios!

Oh gosh I am such a Gleek. I'm going to put the i-pod to Glee songs now.

tv that makes ya go huh?

I don't know why I felt so irked watching tv last night but I did (sigh)!  My list of possible things that made me in a grumpy tv mood.

1. Ellen DeGeneres in a cover girl commercial.  Weird!  It's all wrong.  They should have just put a laughing hyena in the commercial.  Don't get me wrong, nothing against Ellen.  But her, in a makeup commercial doesn't make me want to buy cover girl quite the opposite.  Which leads me to number two.

2. Nurse Jackie on showtime.  I caught the end.  Yup looks just like Ellen and Nurse Jackie's singing forced me to change the channel, quickly!  Not sure I'll watch that again.

3. The crazy chick on the bachelor, Gia.  The one who hooked up with the staff of the show dissing the bachelor.  Women told all last night to bad I didn't watch that either.

4. Old Navy commercials.  Please take the mannequins on a cruise and throw them overboard with no floatie device.

           "Oh, look at my bathing suit only $12.99 at Old Navy."
           "Yes I would love to go swimming."
            "This is a high diving board."
            "Why is the boat leaving.  Oh no!  Big wave.....shop at Old Navy."
             "Even the sharks like Old Navy bathing suits."
             Chomp!

5. There is a new show coming next month to showtime called The Tudors.  I wanted to watch it.  Would have been better than suffering through the above.

Enough about me!  What would you like to rant about today?  Permission to rant away!

Bust a Move

Kickin it old school

You know the song and some of the lyrics but do you know ALL of the lyrics? I sure never did. Instead of making up my own lyrics (like I usually do) I called upon the goggle god.

Curious?

Here you go!

This here's a tale for all the fellas
Try to do what those ladies tell us
Get shot down cause you're over zealous
Play hard to get an females get jealous
Ok smartie, go to a party
Girls are stancin the crowd is showin body
A chick walks by you wish you could sex her
But you're standin on the wall like you was Poindexter
Next days function, high class luncheon
Food is served and you're stone cold munchin'
Music comes on, people start to dance
But then you ate so much you nearly split your pants
A girl starts walkin, guys start gawkin'
Sits down next to you and starts talkin'
Says she wanna dance cus she likes the groove
So come on fatso and just bust a move

You're on a mission and you're wishin'
someone could cure you're lonely condition
You're lookin for love in all the wrong places
Not fine girls just ugly faces
From frustration first inclination
Is to become a monk and leave the situation
But every dark tunnel has a lighter hope
So don't hang yourself with a celibate rope
New movie's showin... so you're goin
Could care less about the five you're blowin
Theatre gets dark just to start the show
When you spot a fine woman sittin in the front row
She's dressed in yellow, she says "Hello,
Come sit next to me you fine fellow"
You run over there without a second to loose
And what comes next, hey bust a move

If you want it baby you've got it (repeat)
Just bust a move

In the city ladies look pretty
Guys tell jokes so they can seem witty
Tell a funny joke just to get some play
Then you try to make a move and she says "no way"
Girls a fakin' ... goodness sakin'
They want a man who brings home the bacon
Got no money and you got no car
Then you got no woman and there you are
Some girls are sophistic... materialistic
Looking for a man makes them opportunistic
They're lyin on the beach perpetratin a tan
So that a brother with money can be their man
So on the beach you're strollin'... real high-rollin'
Everything you have is your's and not stolen
A girl runs up with somethin to prove
So don't just stand there, bust a move

(break down)

Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry
In five days from now he's gonna marry
He's hopin you can make it there if you can
'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man
You say "neato"... check your libido
And roll to the church in your new tuxedo
The bride walks down just to start the wedding
And there's one more girl you won't be getting
So you start thinkin, then you start blinkin
A bride maid looks and thinks that you're winkin
She thinks you're kinda cute so she winks back
And now you're feelin really fine cus the girl is stacked
Reception's jumpin, bass is pumpin
Look at the girl and your heart starts thumpin
Says she wants to dance to a different groove
Now you know what to do g, bust a move

Now have that karoke moment ;)

Weeds

I have been totally addicted and engrossed in the lives of Nancy Botwin and her entourage.  I started with season one and throughout the month made my way to the end of season five.  Every episode has found a way to make my jaw drop, and say oh Sh**!

Trouble dosen't find Nancy...she is trouble and digs herself into endless pits of it, having you wondering if she will ever dig her way out!

This show is so wrong on all levels that I love it!  Her dead husband Judah died leaving her to raise her two sons Shane and Silias.  Silias follows in the family business, and season five ends with Shane possibly killing Pilar, the unofficial ruler of Mexico.

Oh did I mention Nancy married the mayor of Mexico and "drug boss"!  Drama, drama, and more drama!

Andy...well you have to love him even though he is addicted to all things women.

You find yourself pitying Nancy but also screaming...just get a real job!

It's such a mish mash of characters that it is hilarious.

You might look at that mom next door and think twice.  Look at Nancy suburbia mom of Agrestic, CA gone drug dealer.  What kind of trouble will she be in during season six, really can't wait to find out!

So, there are no good shows on during Christamas season  and I need to find another one to watch.  Big Love tops the list right now.  I have seen a couple of episodes and it looks like another show I can get into that is funny.

Chat Weeds with me and leave me a comment!
