Not responsible for loss of limbs!!

Today (pretty much like every other day) my head is filled with mounds and mounds of Randomness. I'm not really sure how to put it all into perspective I don't guess. That's why I have this blog, so I don't have to put anything into perspective. I can just lay out all of my thoughts, no matter how strange or random, and let the chips fall where they may. Kind of like I do every other day of my life. Not the point though! So once again just a few random things that are on my mind today.

Today is Greg's birthday. Happy Birthday Bubba!! Not only is it Greg's birthday, but it's also Uncle Kenny's birthday and the neighbor boy from when I was 3 years old. Yeah, I know, many birthdays today. What can I say? October must have been a busy month. I called him at 5:30 am, to which he didn't answer the phone, so I left a voicemail, that way it would beep until he listened to it. He called me back (much later in the morning), but I was at work so I will be calling him again this evening.

I should have NEVER ate all of that burrito for lunch. Now, I might need to puke. It was too much. Good, but too much! Thank you for lunch though Aunt Susi! It was good, just too much burrito! :)

I went to the doctor again yesterday like I said, to get my results from my Colposcopy. I said that I was more nervous about the test than the results. Well, I was. Needless to say the results were not near as good as I was hoping. Actually, it was more than not near as good. They sucked. The cells have advanced quite a bit more than they originally were into "cancerous", so I have to have three treatments of the "acid/chemical peel" thing. I'm not sure what the medical term for it is, but that's what she pretty much said it was. I had my first treatment yesterday during my appointment and go back on (Aug. 16) for the second one. If these treatments don't work then they will have to remove that part of my cervix. Aunt Susi and I say "carve me like a Pumpkin", because the way she described that procedure to me that's what it sounded like. In any event I am nervous, and not loving this at all, but I'm going to deal with it the best way that I know how. How's that you ask? Well, truth is I don't know, but I'm tough and know that I got this. It's just one more bump in the road. Like I said, I've been better, but I've felt worse. :) I would like to get off this subject now.

Johnny Depp is still on this "quitting acting" kick and I'm about tired of it. His "people" just need to give me his home address and leave us alone for a few hours so that maybe I can talk some sense into him. Yeah, that's it. Talk some sense into him. Just saying.

Kenny and I watched the movie The Possession last night. It was pretty good. A little creepy and strange though. Kind of makes me paranoid of people that stare. Yes, I know that I stare, but that's completely different. I try not to be all creepy when I do it. Some people are just creepy without trying. They know who they are.

I really need to start checking off some books on my Book Bucket List here soon. I've been trying, but I've been busy, working, exercising, going to the doctor, or lazy watching movies lately. Yes, I'll admit at night and some weekends I'm relatively lazy and enjoy watching tv/movies. Just wait until SOA comes back on if you think that I'm bad now! Danielle is going to bring me the 50 Shades of Grey book I reckon, so maybe I'll get that one checked off eventually.

I would just like to tell everyone to watch "Glozell" videos! Thank you YouTube! On a Side Note: I think Honey Boo-Boo may be in cahoots with Satan. I'm just saying what we're all thinking.

Shylyn was telling us about her school field trip for this year. Apparently they all are supposed to go. It's a week long field trip camping in the hills of Tennessee. When asked if I would feel comfortable camping in the hills of Tennessee for a week, I said "Yes I would, but it's because I grew up in the hills of Tennessee so I'm perfectly comfortable with it. However, I would not be comfortable with my child who had never really left the city going with 80 other students like that". Especially with only a small amount of chaperones going. Not to mention the parents/guardians have to sign a waiver stating that the school is not responsible for "death, allergic reactions, loss of limbs, pregnancy, kidnapping, or drowning" among all the other things that are listed. Not responsible! Uh, just so you know, you are!! She's done it before and they feel comfortable with it so I reckon it's all good. Just not my cup of tea.

I need to do some serious work on my hair and make-up today. I dyed my hair the other day which is good, but I felt kind of cruddy yesterday evening so I went to bed with it wet. NOT a good idea ever. When I got up this morning to get ready for work I was still feeling pretty cruddy so even though I tried to accomplish something with my hair and make-up it didn't work. I look kind of rough. I still feel like crud, but that's no excuse to be looking like it so much. I'm trying to feel good regardless of what's going through my mind. I'm just stubborn like that. Seriously, I need to do something with this hair and make-up of mine.

A guy I grew up with/friends with when we were younger that I have on my FB and Instagram posted a saying today that I really liked. You don't know it, but thank you Berry, It's awesome- "I Choose: To live by choice, not by chance, To be motivated, not manipulated, To be useful, not used, to make changes, not excuses, to excel, not compete. I choose self-esteem, not self-pity, I choose to listen to my inner voice not to random opinions of others, I choose to do things that you  won't so I can continue to do the things you can't"

Mulling Things Over Monday

Just a few random things that are going on in the world for today. Well, my world and the world according to Yahoo and Google. I'm very on the "up&up" these days. It's what the "kids" are saying. Not my kids because I don't have any kids, but other people kids. Mostly teenagers. You know what I've realized about teenagers lately? They're little jerks! different than when I was a teenager. Snot nosed little shits. Anyways, here are a few things happening as of this Monday.

I go back to the Doctor today to get my results from my Colposcopy. I'm a little nervous, but not nearly as nervous as when I was having it done. You would think that the results would be scarier, and the thought of them are, but having the test done scared me more. I'm not really sure why, but I'll just go with it. Like they say, "What are you gonna do?" I had to call their Office this morning because they moved locations, and wouldn't you know it I lost the paper with their address on it. It's all good though, they called back, gave me the address, and even directions. They're pretty good like that. Nice bunch of ladies that work there.

Johnny Depp did an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine and in it he said that he is probably not to far away from retiring. Just so the world knows, the day this happens I'm going to be so sad that I will probably be forced to throw a fit like a child. I will be rolling around on the floor, crying, screaming, kicking, biting, and doing bad while screaming, "No! I don't wanna!!" Ok, maybe not to that extent, but I will be really sad.

Thank you once again BuzzFeed!! Some people that had way too much time on their hands proved that James Cameron made a movie with what some people consider the saddest ending ever for no reason. We've all seen Titanic, and we all know how it ends. Jack sacrifices his life by staying in the water to save the love of his life so that she can float on the door and survive. Everybody cried the first time that they ever seen it. If you didn't, you have no heart and you should really do a little soul searching. Just saying. The point is people who need a hobby researchers have proven that Jack in fact could have lived and James Cameron was just being a buttface. Thanks alot for making me cry for absolutely no reason JC.

Greg's Birthday is tomorrow and I'm just now sending out his B-day card today. It's all good though, it's a pretty cool card. The front says "Another Birthday And You're Better Looking Than Ever", and the inside says "But Don't Worry I Still Love You". I thought that it was funny.

I dyed my hair yesterday. I just felt the need to have dark hair again. It was kind of light brown/red, but now it's dark brown/black. It will lighten up after a couple more washes and will just be dark brown and exactly how I like it. I just didn't feel like washing it twice last night.

Question of the Day:
How exactly do you manage to take a picture of the tattoo on your calf muscle and get your umm..."man area" in it? Then put it on Instagram without realizing it's like that? I guess if I want to know I'll have to go to Switzerland. 

I was very sad to read this story. Enough said.


I watched a few movies this past weekend. 21 & Over was definitely my favorite. I laughed so hard that my side started to hurt. It was like Superbad meets The Hangover. I would tell everybody to watch it. Hilarious! Miles Teller is one of my new favorite actors, and as funny/real as they come. It was great! Not for prudes, but so funny! I also watched The Cloth, I didn't really care for it. I thought that it was slow and boring. Stop-Loss, oh dear me. That movie was so good, and so sad all at the same time. It really makes you think about things. I think everyone should watch it. It's sad and true. Not to mention, you can take the most unattractive man in the world, put him in a military uniform, and five bucks says he's more attractive. It's like an unwritten rule or something. Seriously though, it is good, and makes you incredibly greatful for the things that the men/women who serve are country do. Thank you! Lastly Movie 43. It was ok, but not nearly as funny as I thought that it was going to be. I laughed a few times at certain skits, but not enough. Unless it's free, I wouldn't suggest you watch it.

I did a Post on Saturday about my "Style Icons" and completely spaced through Kat Dennings. So a little collage just to show people that she is my #3 as some would say. I just don't have the boobs to pull her stuff off. Just saying, we all know that it's true. I think that she's really pretty though. She's not what people consider "conventionally" pretty, but she is pretty and does things her own way. To me, that's great.

People are talking about the premiere of the AMC show "Breaking Bad", since it is the final season. I've seen the show a few times and what I watched I really enjoyed, I would just like to start from the beginning of it though, so I know what's going on. Who would've thought that a show about Meth would go on to win Emmy's? Crazy.

I'm still convinced that every channel package that they have should come with HBO. Otherwise, quit showing me commercials for "True Blood" when I can't watch it. It's not right. Further more, quit showing me commercials for "Orange is the New Black" when it's only on NetFlix. I don't have NetFlix and between the commercials and Danielle, now I really want to watch it. Dang it.

I'm still very sad about Cory Monteith, as most  know "Finn" was a hero of mine (and my imaginary boyfriend). I also feel very bad for his longtime girlfriend Lea Michele. It makes me want to cry. Like I need another excuse, not like all this stuff that I'm trying to get straight with my Doctors doesn't have my hormones all Wackado enough. The point is I'm sad about this (still) and wanted ya'll to know it. 

Saturday night, I couldn't sleep (go figure) so Shy and I stayed up downstairs and watched TV. We watched "2 Broke Girls", "Mistresses", and "Mike & Molly". Shy informed me that I'm exactly like Max on "2 Broke Girls". Works for me, she's funny as all get out.

Since I am a true LOTR fan (yes I know get over my Dork factor and move on please), I would like to share this link to the Orlando Bloom (aka Legolas) countdown of hottest movies roles. Basically just for me and the other Ladies. I love me some Orlando Bloom! Yum! Enjoy. 

Apparently there is a "new" bacon. I don't know why that's relevant, but I saw it "trending" and thought that I would just put it out there for all the Bacon Lovers.

I try not to get all political and things like that, so I don't usually talk about things in the news that involve politics, race, gender, so on and so forth. I have my opinions, my beliefs, and no one's going to change my mind. That's why I stick to fun things or just random things. It's just what I do. Enjoy! :) Last, but not least, everyone knows I love a good "Meme" from time to time so here's one to end this with. I thought that it was funny, and honestly something that I've wanted to say to certain people from time to time.

Are You Sure Jude?

Just so y'all know this is an unusually long Posting, but it's mostly because of all of the pictures.

This year on Christmas Day (exactly 5 months to the day that I read about it) one of my all time favorite movies will be 10 years old. Ten! One Decade! I'm not ok with this revelation. Of course I knew that the movie was getting older, but I had no clue that it had been that long since it came out. No clue! I guess I just never really put that much thought into it. I'm talking of course about Cold Mountain. I didn't believe the article that I was reading, I guess I thought that it was some kind of Government Conspiracy that the CIA had concocted so that I would doubt everything including my own existence. Why the CIA cares about Myself and Cold Mountain is beyond me, but who am I to question their motives? So in true "I don't believe you" form I Googled it. You know, because they can't put anything on the internet that isn't true. Sure enough the title followed by 2003 popped up. Not cool Google! 

For all ya'll that have been living under a rock for the past ten years let me just go ahead and let you know that this posting of mine is going to contain some Serious SPOILER ALERTS!!! So, if you still have yet to see the movie and now you really want to, I suggest stopping now, watching the movie, and then coming back to this post so that you can completely agree with everything that I say. Trust me after you watch it, you will completely agree with me. Yes, I'm sure.

Immediately I fell in love with Jude Law. I mean come on have you seen him? He was so handsome and brooding and strange that immediately I was all "What are we going to name our children?" Yeah, I was that serious about it.  See what I mean? Check out that sexy/adorable half smile.


I still remember watching the trailers for it, and wanting to go see it in theaters so bad! I was going to read the novel first (like I usually do), but I wanted to be completely surprised from the movie, so I decided against it. I should've read the book!! Seriously! I'm not playing, I should've read the novel because had I'd have known how it all ended I would've straight up boycotted it. I of course didn't get to go see it in theaters. Living where we did at the time (dead center in the middle of the Southern Bible Belt) the one theater that we had refused to play it. According to them it depicted The Civil War all wrong, and there was no way that they were going to let a movie that "came down on the South" and showed people "fornicating" (just for the record their words not mine) be shown in their town. Now that I think back on it they really needed a hobby. Since the one theater we had didn't show it and you had to drive at least two hours to get to another one I had to wait for the DVD. Technically, the first time I seen it was on VHS (yes old school), but when I wore the VHS out and we eventually got a DVD player (for the record I was almost 17 when this happened) I bought it on DVD. It was one of the first movies that I did buy on DVD now that I think about it. I'm surprised that they even sold it in our town. Growing up there was kind of like Footloose, but without all of the cool dance numbers, there were way more drugs, and no happy ending. Just crazy religious folks, hypocrites, meth heads, and alot of kids that got away with everything because their parents were to busy doing everything else than raising their own kids. But moving back to Cold Mountain.

I do remember watching the trailers for it on TV though and thinking to myself "Wow that looks like a fantastic movie. I wonder if all of that really happened during The Civil War. Those poor people! That's love right there". I was a bit of a Romantic by the age of 13 and never quite grew out of it. Don't tell though. I waited and waited, and finally the day came for me to watch it. Can you say? ExFreakinCited? Yeah, I made up a word. Deal with it. I watched it by myself in our living room at night. (I like it dark when I watch movies). I was so impressed! That movie had me tapping into every emotion that I have. I cried, I laughed, I cried, I asked Why? alot, I covered my eyes, I shook my head, I cried, yes I cried quite a bit during that movie. I'll admit it, I'm not ashamed! Come on! I'm not the only one that's ever cried watching that movie!

REMEMBER I FOR-WARNED YOU ABOUT SPOILER ALERTS!!

All that the people in that movie wanted was to be happy, live their lives peacefully, and be loved. Did they get that? No! I think Not!! Ada lives with her father on Black Cove and Inman is from Cold Mountain. They fall in love, then he gets called away to war. Ada constantly writes to Inman while he's away at war, but he receives very few of her letters. Inman watches everyone he knows die on the Battlefield. Ada's dad dies leaving her alone and at the mercy of everyone because she doesn't know how to be self-sufficient. Inman receives a letter from Ada asking him to leave the war and come back to her, he loves her and in his mind agrees. Inman gets wounded a bunch of times in the war and on his journey trying to get home to Ada. Ada almost starves to death. The Swanger’s send her Rubby Thewes. Ruby has had a horrible life. She moves into the farm with Ada, and two of them become confidants and best friends.On his travels back Inman encounters many terrible things. He saves an African American woman who's White/Preacher lover is trying to kill her because she is pregnant. The Preacher is banished from the town. He joins Inman on his journey, they get taken in, kidnapped and the Preacher gets killed. Inman escapes, but is shot in the neck. An old woman finds him and nurses him back to health. Ruby’s dad and his two friends come to the farm to find Ruby. She had been estranged from her dad for a long time. Ruby falls in love with her dads violin playing friend (Georgia). The Home Guard kills the sweet/loveable/adorable big guy (Pangle) and steals his coat that Ada/Ruby made him. You think Ruby's dad (Stobrod) is dead, even though he's really alive they make you think he's dead and you cry. Mrs. Swanger watches her husband get stabbed through by a group of psychopathic vigilantes (The Home Guard) that have decided to take the "law" into their own hands. If that wasn't good enough she also has to see her sons killed by the same men after they tortured her and her sons tried to save her. Ada and Ruby find her and nurse her back to health. Inman wanders upon a cabin and asks for shelter for the night. The woman (Sara)’s husband had died in the war after she has had their newborn son, she lets Inman stay with her for shelter, but the next morning Soldiers come, put her baby in the cold, and try to rape her. Inman saves her by killing them all but the youngest boy, but in all of her rage she grabs her husbands rifle and kills the young Soldier. Inman continues to make his journey home (both parties weary , sad, and damages from the affects of war) and finally makes it back to Cold Mountain. Ada and Inman are finally reunited, Ruby gives her blessing, the two "spend the night together", and they make plans for spending the rest of their lives together. However, the next day "The Home Guard" wanders upon them and tries to kill them all. The group fights off the hunters, but Inman is shot by the youngest/most violent one (Bosie), Inman also shoots him and kills him. Ada finds Inman shot and wait for this. Are you ready for this one? He dies in her arms! Dies! After all of that, after all he has been through, after the thousands of miles he's traveled! After surviving war, vigilantes, snow, cold, psychopaths, heartbreak, and everything else, he gets killed the day after he gets home!! Dies!! In the love of his life's arms!! Dead!! The movie ends showing Ruby, Georgia, their child, Mrs. Swanger, Stobrod, Ada, and another child living a nice life on the rejuvenated Black Cove. It just so happens that her one night “spent” with Inman had resulted in a child. That was her piece of him that she could keep forever. You know what would’ve have been a nice piece of him to keep forever? Uh, him! He could’ve lived!! I call Bullshit!! It so didn’t end the way I wanted! It was sad and I cried a whole bunch!! Damn that Charles Frazier anyways!! Renee Zellweger won 3 awards from this movie, but I think Jude Law played just as good of a role as her. I so wanted him to live!! Just saying.  

The point of this (besides me going crazy and venting about how one of my favorite movies didn't end the way I wanted) is to celebrate and reminisce on it. It's been 10 years (on Christmas) since it was released and I still love it. I have since read and own the novel, and it pisses me off too. But, leaving that alone both are very good and I still recommend both the film and novel to people. Enjoy the photos. Some of them are blurry, for that I am Sorry, but what is a girl to do?
