Dude,
Why are the Republicans such hypocrites? They can't merely be fiscally conservative; which to a point, I can fathom (i.e. not necessarily agree with, but understand), but when they start trying to say who can marry and who can't, and about prayer in school, and stuff like that... it get's to be too much, y'know?
Which is why it is highly ironic when they Talk the Talk, but are unable to Walk the Walk! Take in point South Carolina Governor, and onetime 20012 Presidential Candidate Mark Sanford. He's big on the family values thing. Why is it he hooked up w/ a lovely lady from Argentina, who does not seem to be his wife (GASP!!)? I mean, Adultery is a private matter, so I don't delight in seeing his families' pain being front page news. HOWEVER, in the same respect, when he acts all mighty, and holy, and these skeletons appear. You have to say "I told ya so" in a kind of happy way!! The fact he admitted to more daliances today makes it even more of a hysterical story.
We lost Michael Jackson this past week on Thursday. I must say, I have never been so underwhelmed by a celebrity death!! I can appreciate his contribution to music, and I certainly remember the "Thriller" era dominating my 7th Grade year.. However, the man became a freak show in the past decade or so. Reality did not get along with Michael Jackson. We'll never really know WHAT the deal was with him. I feel sorry for his kids though. Who are these people who are hanging out in front of his house, and dancing by the Apollo Theatre??! I don't get that.
I am SO psyched for UFC 100 . That is when Brock Lesnar rematches against my main man, Frank Mir. The last time they fought, Brock was streamrolling away like a bull in a china shop, but he forgot how to guard against an ankle lock , that became a knee lock. Frank Mir lost the first minute of that fight.. it was only the last 10 seconds that mattered! Do it again Frank! I'm also psyched to see GSP dominate over Thiago Alves, and I want to see Dan Henderson kick Michael Bisbings butt!

Vacation was a success
We really gots the best 7 month old on the planet. Not only did Toby make it 4+ hours in the car from Pennsylvania, to Rehobeth Beach, Delaware with nary a peep. He loooooooved the beach, and enjoyed his wading pool! He was the rock star, big time. He also flew 2 1/2 hours to Florida, and flirted and laughed with everyone around him!
He had a great time in Florida visiting hs Grandpa, as did his Mom and Dad! In fact, my father and I didn't argue at all. Thank heavens for grandkids, I guess!!
It was sooo darn hot down there, we could only hang out by the pool in small increments. However, Toby was a big fan of his swim lounge thing :)
We even were down there for Father's Day. It was my first Father's Day. It was incredibly special, and felt like like it was very normal. It put a smile onto my face!!! In fact, the entire vacation was an all around success, we saw my Dad, Toby saw his Grandpa, we did Father's Day down there, saw my Aunt Cynthi, and just had a few good meals out!!
On a pop culture note, it's crazy how all these celebs are dying at once. My friend, and former NPHS'er Amy Jo make a fine posting about the Michael Jackson death deal. All I can say is, what a media circus!! I have never seen a guy w/ so much talent, become this "other" type of celebrity. It was more than like when you stop making new hits, you can always play Vegas... this was an entirely carnivalesque sense of living.... I found the whole hysteria crazy :(
I was saddened to hear about Billy Mays too :( Shame. Guys, you gotta watch your cholesterol, and have your stress test every 6 months!!
Ok, off to bed, more later.!!
