When the cat's away......

Today, a few of us couldn't get motivated at work, since it was Friday....and the boss was away.

We started looking You Tube and were giggling about a few things. One of the girls asked us if we had ever watched GI Joe, and one said yes, and I stared at her blankly. I was thinking (pre-judging) ..."ya, that must be hilarious to watch. Not."

Well it turns out that someone took some clips of the GI Joe cartoon (which I never watched) and dubbed it full of hilarious, obscure shit. Man, some of it is funny. I thought I would share a few of my favourites....beware of the swearing.

It's official. He has lost his marbles.

Okay, Tom Cruise could be in direct competition with George Bush concerning who sounds more retarded. Pay special attention to the 4 minute and 30 second mark. His laugh is soooo 100% fake, it pains me to hear it. I got to the end of this video and thought...what the HELL is he smoking? He made NO SENSE at all.



On the other hand, Jerry O'Connell is a genius. He is so brilliant in this parody. PYT? LOL.

Do you know where your children are?

Okay, I just got home from Walmart , and I just HAD to blog about this one thing that irks the shit out of me.

So I was there at about 10:15-10:30 p.m. An abnormal time even for an adult.

Why is it that people feel the need to drag their children to supermarkets at that hour? I mean, come on. Most kids should be in bed before 8. Can anyone be a parent nowadays? Apparently so. Kids need structure. They need routine.

They should not be shopping at 11. Especially when they are between 1-6 yrs old.

Get a grip people. Put your kids to bed, where they belong, and save the shopping for another day.

News Reporter Goes Crazy!! Funny as hell!

Oh my goodness...I haven't laughed this hard in a loooooong time!

Robert Beneteau July 9, 1942 - Jan 9, 2008

I'm sad to announce that Bob Beneteau, my friend's dad, passed away yesterday. I pretty much grew up at his house. Anytime I wasn't home, I was hanging out with Lesley and her sisters. So many good memories took place with her family.

He will be missed.

I've Got Nothin...

I keep trying to blog, since I haven't had an entry in a long time, but the truth is - I have nothing. It's like the creative juices are taking a break. So, I will just tell you what I have been doing over the last month or so. On December 21st, I had my one year review at work. It went surprisingly well. I say this because I never know if I am doing a good job, or a bad job. My boss only seems to tell me when I do stuff wrong. So, I'm happy that I stuck it out for the year to find this out. I was reallllllllllllly considering leaving and finding a new place of work for a month or so there. One of my downfalls is that I am impatient with myself and am always looking for the next best thing. I made a conscious effort to just keep plugging along, in the hopes that things got better. They have.

Dec 21st was also my mom's 72nd birthday. Yay Joanie Maloney!

I started my holidays by going up to Wasaga Beach to visit my mom for a few days. We shopped, she entertained, and I baked.

Yes, my friends. I baked.

On Christmas day, my mom and I went to my sister's house. We spent the day with her family. It was a very nice day overall. The kids were happy, and the adults were happy. I left for Calgary on December 28th, and stayed for 5 days. I visited my friends back there, and again, had a great time.

I made no real resolutions this year, other than just improving on the guitar. Not sure if that means lessons, online lessons, or just practicing more. We'll have to see.

I spent the last few days just hanging out at my place, savouring each last day of freedom. Then, sadly, on the 7th, I was back to work. I now work at:

F/T Job - M-F, 9-4
Volleyball Association - Monday nights
Toronto Central Sport & Social Club - Wed and Thursday nights

So, I am a busy girl once again. Due to all of these jobs, I hope to have a car by the summer.

Bob Beneteau, the father of three of my good friends, Lesley/Andrea/Alysse, has been ill for a while. He has chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Most recently, he went through a bone marrow transplant after finding out that his brother was a match for him. He has been very sick since then, and hasn't hit the benchmarks that they thought he would. As of yesterday, he was given 48 hours to live. The cancer came back. I'm not convinced that in today's world, we haven't found a cure for cancer yet. I have my suspicions, and they may seem a little conspiracy theory-ish. I just hope that one day in the next decade, someone does something to make this terrible disease go away, once and for all.

Anyhow, I hope all of you reading this are happy and healthy, and that your holiday season was exceptional.

Now, off to update my movie blog.............and to select my TOP 10 of 2007.........
