IT'S NOT HALLOWEEN UNTIL YOU HEAR THIS

Thriller has never been my favourite MJ song BUT it was the #1 80's Hallowe'en anthem.
Here are some others....
Ghostbusters
Ghostbusters two
Somebody's watching me

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Back in the 80's everyone from the Goonies, Michael Jackson's Thriller zombie, Teen Wolves, Ghostbusters, Maverick from Top Gun, Madonna Wannabee's....would come out to haunt us.
Not that different from any other day in the 80's LMAO.
If you are looking to make a DIY 80's themed Halloween costume, here is a neat site:
WISHING YOU ALL A SAFE AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

HOW A FEW INNOCENT WORDS CAN THROW ME IN TO AN OBSESSIVE REDECORATING NIGHTMARE

About a month ago, Wyatt and I were visiting Parker at her mother's home.
Parker's mother's home is beautiful and pristine.
As Parker hands me a coffee in the kitchen, she points to two stylish decor accents and says: "OMG! I hate knickknacks!"
My reply: "Then don't come to our house. Our heritage home looks like a doll house and seems to be where all varieties of knickknacks and crafts go to die."
I came home that day and looked at our house.
Unorganised, full of knickknacks and collections and crafts and pets and everything under the sun.
In my head, I made a commitment to Parker to declutter my house.
Not an undertaking for the faint of heart.
For example, I have two sewing machines in my living room and two large (built by me) Victorian dollhouses and if you were to look under my dining room table (PLEASE never look under there) I have a Yudu screen printing machine, big boxes of old photos, craft paint, and bags and bags and bags of fabric....and a couple of cats, I am sure.
So here I am, a month in to this disaster and I haven't touched the living room or dining room crap.
BUT my family room has been torn apart and is ready for a new ceiling and some accent walls and ready for a Pottery Barn overhaul. 
After this is all completed, Wyatt promises that he is going to clean out the garage....the garage is the biggest area of hoarder shame.
I think it would be easier to strike a match and throw it at the 10 red gasoline cans.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PARKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Parker Young is 43 today.
She doesnt look a day over 14 to me...but then again I am biased.
HAPPY BILLY-IDOL to my BFF!
 

THESE FOUR LOOK LIKE THEY COULD BE BROTHERS

The kind of brothers you wish grew up next door to you!!!

NEW LOVE TOWARDS THE BLUE MOON

This is the neatest thing I've heard in a while.
This makes all the craziness seem so minor and
reaffirms my belief that the Universe knows what its doing!!!

AN ODE TO THE BLUE MOON

The moon will be full in the sky tonight and fyi, it is the second full moon of the month of August.
To make matters all the more concerning, it will be a Blue Moon.
This MUST be why people have been behaving like lunatics.
This MUST be why people are douches.
This IS why I am at my antisocial max.
If the moon is not to blame, then.......well then......it may be time to consider wearing a disguise or relocating or faking my death LOL!
My ode to the Moon:
F- Off!

Suburgatory VS Pretty In Pink

Every time I watch the show Suburgatory on TV,
I can't help but think of Molly Ringwald in Pretty In Pink.
Jane Levy MUST be playing on our love for Miss Molly.

I GUESS YOU HAD TO BE THERE

OH HAPPY DAY

Today is a good day.

I cannot shake the Beatles song Yellow Submarine... it is embedded in my brain thanks to Libby and her genius and generosity. 

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAKE NO MISTAKE

P!nk could be friends with us.

Without question.

Anyone who writes and sings like this is a-ok by me.  The lyrics to this new song really move me. 

I have been searching for a theme song as I seem to have outgrown this one.

Viola.... my Fashionista Filmstar bestie pointed this one out for me...

I love P!nk even more since she announced she is doing another duet with my secret boyfriend Marshall Mathers......

For a long time my favourite Eminem song was Without me.....

Now, of course it is ..... so good.......

TRAVELLING COMPANION

Another item of note.  My travelling companion was of course Kevin Costner. 

Lately I take him everywhere.

GIDDY UP

Parker here.

I just spent the last week in San Antonio. 

A few items of note:

It was the Texas Association of High School Football Coaches annual meeting and despite my evolution as an urban pseudo-artsy.... there is nothing quite like a hot, dumb football player (now coach) to get me going.  This has not changed since 1983.  You can take the girl outta .......

Eric Taylor was NOT there, and if you do not get the Friday Night Lights reference we may not be able to be friends since it is the BEST SHOW EVER.

Finally, San Anotnio reminded me of the single best outfit I used to wear in the late 1980..... white cotton cable knit sweater (likely from Bliss in the bottom of Bayshore), jeans, the sweater tucked in, a big belt, shoulder pads, big hoop earring and a kicking pair of cowboy boots.

I could not miss the 80's more than I do at this very minute.

FOR PARKER.

The Jimmy Hendrix Experience

INSTANT HAPPINESS

When I am in need of Instant Happiness (these days it seems more often than not)
I watch this video of one of my fav songs - EVER.
To be truthful, in my minds eye, I am on the xylophone not stinky looking KT Tunstall.

IF I WERE 13 AGAIN

If I were 13 again, I'd love "One Direction".
I just know I'd be completely boy crazy over these guys.
Particularily boy crazy over the Mick Jagger wannabe - second last guy on the right of this photo:


but I am not 13 anymore - thankfully.

FIELD OF DREAMS AND OTHER SIGNS

I am trying to figure out the connection to Kevin Costner that Parker and I both share.
We loved Kevin Costner growing up.

Then we both broke up with him when he became a mid-life crisis ass.
Parker and I believed the break up was permanent...until...Kevin's Whitney Houston eulogy.
Now we are loving him again.
Ya, we are fickle that way.

There has been, what so far seems to be, an unexplainable pattern of Kevin Costner signs happening to us.
So I am putting this post out there - as an attempt to keep us focused.
I am commited to eyeing every corn field I drive past, in the hopes....
Build it and he will come.

note: I just remembered as I typed!!! Parker used to sell corn as a kid - OMG spooky!

JOHN HUGHES 2012

I watched "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist" for the 4th time the other night.
It was on TV again.
This movie gets my vote as truly worthy of this blogs love.
Michael Cera is my boy.
I adore Michael Cera and my heart simply melts when I see him.
Not in a Cougar way, by any stretch of the word, but in a motherly way.
Michael Cera reminds me of my older son, when he was younger, in those fleeting moments when he was not being an ass.
How can the bloggers of Lies John Hughes Told Me not love this movie?
I was hooked the moment Nick O'Leary's (Michael Cera) cell phone rang with The Cure as his ringtone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICK

Today is Mick Jagger's 69th birthday.
The Ol' Devil's age is even dirty ;)
This year The Rolling Stones celebrate 50 years as Rockstars.
I love The Rolling Stones but I LOVE Mick Jagger.
I have LOVED Mick Jagger since I was 6 years old.
Not this Mick Jagger -

THIS Mick Jagger -

and yes, I am aware I have issues....and yes, I am aware that he is adrogenous....and yes, I am aware that he behaves badly....and yes, I am aware that he has a criminal record....and yes, I am aware that he is a woman/man -izer....and yes, I do not care.
I LOVE Mick Jagger.

JULY AND KATIE HOLMES

I am not a true fan of the month of July and I am not usually a fan of Katie Holmes.
But what do these two things have in common?
To me, July is a month of frantic behaviour.
People cram everything and anything, at lightning speed, in to the month of July.
Katie Holmes did the same with her divorce from Tom.

I am a big advocate for pulling the plug without drama.
I would'nt have thought she had it in her but Katie has done exactly that.
Hats off to her.
She came, she saw, she conquered...now... if only... she would go off in to the sunset.
Sadly, I think we will only see more of her now.

I HEAR THE CLOCK TICK AND I THINK OF YOU

Honestly -- what could make me happier than Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper? 

Pretty much nothing.

A few of my fav lines.....

Then you say go slow, I fall behind.

If you're lost you can look and you will find me.

If you fall I will catch you.  I will be waiting.

The drum beats out of time.

Time after time.


SERIOUSLY.  How awesome is this song?

I know that Libby will weigh in with her love of Cyndi...

Just in case you are wiki-nut like me..... here is the wiki link on the song....

THE PARAMOUNT PICTURE

To celebrate 100 years of Paramount Pictures, Vanity Fair has gathered 116 of "someone's choice?" of Hollywood's finest.
Left side, at the right of the staircase, Molly Ringwald and Jon Cryer side by side.
That makes this blog happy.

I GUESS I JUST DON'T GET IT, NEVER HAVE AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL.

Bret Michaels???
I just do not get his appeal.
And POISON???
WTF???
This is not a topic I plan on reading up on, in effort to discover what I am missing.

IT'S ALL IN THE COMMENTS SECTION PARKER

The following is my favorite comment from this article on Madge-Ho.
Madonna is the Norma Desmond of the singing world.
“Mr. Demille, I’m Ready for My Close-Up.”
“Oh, wake up, Norma, you'd be killing yourself to an empty house. The audience left twenty years ago.”

The list of other comments are equally as sharp, somewhat crude but IMO right on the money.

MAYBE ALL THE PLASTIC SURGERY HAS LEFT HER WITHOUT TEAR DUCTS?

Kidman dry-eyed as 'Paperboy' gets standing ovation at Cannes; co-star Efron brought to tears

I do think she looks stunning although I question her high beams sticking out of the dress.
I can't see the weather being that cold at Cannes.
J Lo has a nipple tweeker for her videos
...seriously...
maybe Ol' Shark Eyes has one on staff too.

WELCOME BACK DEAR FRIEND

Libby and I are both from Alanis' hometown.
We both have "property" close to where Alanis' parents are rumoured to live.
Long before Adele ever gave me goosebumps..... Ms Alanis Morissette was looking into my heart and I believe, living in my brain. 

I was DELIGHTED to hear that Alanis had a new album (is that still the word for it?) coming out.  The first single Guardian (as recorded on the Ellen show) lives up to my high, high expectations of the woman I believe to be one of the best songwriters in the world.



Study #1: You Ought to Know

Many of you will understand the heartbreak of these lyrics.... and really, we have all thought them.

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
You can watch it here.... intro'd by ELLEN again !!!!!!



Study #2: Uninvited

Just listen.  You will have goosebumps soon enough. 



Study #3: Hands Clean

The updated version of Don't Stand So Close to Me by the Police.

Without question.

Way to stick it to pervy manager.

From wiki:
She (Alanis) reportedly said in an interview to US Weekly that the song is about an affair she had with a man when she was 14.

Of course no discussion of Ms Alanis Morissette would be complete without mention of the launch pad of her illustrious career...... You Can't do That on Television.

Welcome back my friend.

IT'S LIKE SHE HAS ESPN OR SOMETHING.

As soon as I read Libby's blog referencing the Mean Girls I turned on the tv and what was on..... Mean Girls.... with one of my favourite lines...

"It's like I have ESPN or something".

Hocus pocus!!!!!!

BTW -- paging Lindsay Lohan, paging sane Lindsay Lohan.  We miss you.

And now I will be tuning into one of my fav non-John Hughes movies.... The Fugitive.

Here is the greatest scene from The Fugitive....

The fugitive's name is Dr Richard Kimball.

I would still be game for a big dirty throw down with Tommy Lee Jones.  Any time.  Any place. 

HOW DO YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART IN 2012

The same way we did back in the 80's.
Jake Ryan picks you up in his 944.

My husband Wyatt, Mr.Libby as Parker calls him, has ALWAYS been my Jake Ryan.
Our oldest son has a broken heart. He is devastated.
The girl he risked it all for has turned out to be more Jersey Shore than I gave her credit for.
There's also an element of "Jerry, who's the Baby Daddy?" mixed in now too.
Our son lives 2 hours away.
This morning, Wyatt picked up our son on his doorstep to bring him home.
Wyatt was driving his Jake Ryan 944.
He then sent me a text, our son was doing good and they were en route back home.
As for the ex girlfriend, I can say with certainty that she has never heard of Jake Ryan.
If I have it my way, she never will.

XRAY VISION

Parker is THEE friend who has xray vision.
Parker has been able to see straight past things most others get stuck on and I do the same for her.
Neither one of us is the other's Jiminy Cricket....BELIEVE me LOL.
Our friendship has always been based on laughter, navigating through the mean girls and self serving a-holes  of life and then laughter once again.
14 emails later (see Back to the Future) and my morning follow up email said: "Did you touch it?"
Turns out, she already had - AWESOME.

BACK TO THE FUTURE WITH PARKER + LIBBY

Parker here.

Libby and I have known each other and been friends for a long long time.  Since grade 9.

We have both been through the ups and downs of love.

We have both been married and then not married.

Libby is now with the love of her life.  I say that with no hesitation.  The one who has been perfect for her all along.  The perfect Robert Smith meets Jake Ryan meets awesome guy.  Did I mention Robert Smith?????  Everytime I think of Mr Libby I hum "Friday, I'm in love".

Note to readers I knew Mr Libby LONG before Libby knew Mr Libby!!!! He is from my "side of the river".

Me, on the other hand, the ink is still drying on my divorce.

However..... it is now time for me to start thinking about dating. 

Not serious dating. 

Certainly no meet the parents (or my kids!) dating.... (esp if you knew my parents!).... but let's go have a drink, I will tell you how funny you are, we'll drink a bit too much and go home and close the deal dating..... the I have a family wedding can you be my plus one dating.....

Libby and I have exchanged about 14 emails today on whether I should email this particular guy or not.

I am taken Back to the Future.... to Libby's basement in the 80's and endless hours of talk of boys and Michael Jackson, Madonna and of course, Bruce Springsteen.

FOR MY BOY, GEORGE.

The 1994 Dodge Viper.

In all it's glory.

SILVER HOOPS

SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT

Oh no it doesn't.

It smells like Axe.

Lots and lots of Axe.

My 11 year old son went to a "community youth dance".

He packed his outfit, a toothbrush, toothpaste and FOUR, yes FOUR variations of Axe.

Talk about pollution.

BATH HOUSES, SAUNAS AND A SWEATHOG - OH MY!

I've been waiting patiently to see if Parker would blog on this topic.
To quote our beloved Jeff Spicoli - No dice.
John Travolta is a BIG PERV...
A perv in the Peewee Herman and George Michael style of BIG PERV.
John, you are an A1 hypocrite!
I don't care if you are a closet gay, I don't care what your sexual preferences are, I don't even care that you are a perv.
I do care that you are a member of a church that doesn't "agree" with homosexuality.
Scientology believes homosexuality can be cured.
Of all the people I would avoid pissing off, the Homosexual community would be near the top of my list.
Good luck with your career Staying Alive.

PARKER = CLOSET POLITICAL NERD.

It is true.

I am a political nerd.  I have gone this long without outing myself..... but Lord Black has made me do it.......

Which is why I am FIXATED on the "welcome home photos" of Conrad Black.....

WTF?  How do you stay fat or get fatter in jail? 

And WTF happened to Barbara Amiel Black's face..... A little beauty lesson from Nicole Kidman, perhaps????

The Beastie Boys

Adam "MCA" Yauch, founding member of The Beastie Boys, died yesterday.
He was 47 years old.
Very sad.
I have never been a fan of The Beastie Boys although I do/did appreciate their contribution to music.
In the 80's, I would have LOVED to have a Beastie Boy on my arm...just because that would have looked cool.
You know who DID have a Beatie Boy on her arm in the 80's???
Miss Molly Ringwald - W00T.

Adding to the list of reasons why she will always be this blogs "it" girl :)

PARKER.... BACK IN ACTION......

So, if you didn't pick it up from Libby quips.... I have been out of action for a bit.

Despite my best efforts to live a John Hughes life and live like the Buellers -- happy married in a lovely home in a suburb... alas it was not meant to be.

I recently separated from my husband. 

17 years.

And now I am back in action.  In more ways than one.

Cue Elton John's Rocket Man and hand me my silver hoops...... Do you want to come in and watch Much Music?

A special shoutout to my girl Libby.... who stood by me the ENTIRE time.... you name it -- she was there.

A flip of the bird to all the a-hole hockey moms who said mean things and tried to Mean Girl me.  You suck.

GOOD GENES

Tonight, Rob Lowe is the featured star on a Geneology show I like to watch.
Rob Lowe has not aged, one single bit, since his days in the 80's on the cover of Tiger Beat.
The show is taking Rob back to find information on his 5 X's Great Grandfather.
I hope they produce an image of this man, a painting or something....I'll bet he was an ageless hunk during the Revolutionary War.

NOW DICK CLARK

Dick Clark died early Wednesday in a Los Angeles hospital of a heart attack.
He was 82.
REALLY SAD NEWS.

I HEART LOURDES LEON

Hypocrite extraordinaire Madonn-UGH is having a turd that her 15 year old daughter Lourdes was caught smoking the other day.

I don't think Miss Lola gives a rat's ass what her mother thinks and maybe Lola is antagonising her.
Forget the cigarettes, when is Maggot Ciccone going to notice that her daughter has shaved her head
"A La 80's Cyndi Lauper" :)
 

SCANK SPICE OR METH SPICE

Lindsay Lohan, the girl of a zillion other problems, suffers from a chronic case of identity crisis.
Here attending the Coachella Music Festival she looks like either Scank Spice or Meth Spice or even Scanky- Meth Spice....

OUR MOVIE

I was talking to Parker the other day and brought up the subject of a Hollywood movie about us.
What actresses would we chose to play us on the big screen?
To represent me, it's was an easy answer - Drew Barrymore.

It's not because she is a favourite actress of mine and no, we do not look a like.
The reason being, Drew's real life of whimsy kinda explains mine.
So who does Parker want to play her?
Julia Lewis Dreyfus.

Again, not because they look alike because they don't but because among other reasons, they share the same kind of wicked sense of humour.
As for my beloved Wyatt, I'd chose Luke Wilson.

Calm, handsome, boy next door, sweet and self depreciating Luke.
We havent discussed a title for our movie yet....stay tuned :)

THE BROTHERS GIBB

I LOVE the Bee Gees.
I love all of their own music and all of the hit songs they have written for other artists.
The Bee Gees' Hall of Fame citation says "Only Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks and Paul McCartney have outsold the Bee Gees".

So here's the news:
Robin Gibb is in a coma.
After a long battle with various kinds of cancer he has now has pneumonia.
I hope that he pulls through, but sadly, it doesnt look like it at this time.

IMAGINE God's choir these days:
The three Gibb brother's (Andy, Maurice and Robin) together again, plus Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse and the list goes on and on and on....

Songs written by the Gibbs, but largely better known through versions by other artists, include:

• "Ain't Nothing Gonna Keep Me From You" by Teri DeSario
• "Buried Treasure" by Kenny Rogers (backing vocals The Gatlin Brothers)
• "Chain Reaction" by Diana Ross
• "Come on Over" by Olivia Newton-John
• "Emotion" by Samantha Sang and by Destiny's Child
• "Gilbert Green" by Gerry Marsden
• "Grease" by Frankie Valli
• "Guilty" and "Woman in Love" by Barbra Streisand
• "Heartbreaker" & "All the Love in the World" by Dionne Warwick
• "Hold On to My Love" by Jimmy Ruffin
• "I Will Be There" by Tina Turner
• "If I Can't Have You" by Yvonne Elliman
• "Immortality" by Celine Dion
• "Islands in the Stream" by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton
• "Morning of My Life" by Abi and Esther Ofarim
• "Only One Woman" by The Marbles
• "Rest Your Love on Me" by Conway Twitty
• "Sacred Trust" by One True Voice
• "Warm Ride" by Graham Bonnet and by Rare Earth

PURPLE

RDJ, the man I have a love-hate relationship with, is channelling his inner "Prince" at the Avengers premiere last night.

Proving, you can get the man off of drugs but you must never let him get dressed in the midst of an acid flashback.

WE LOVE A MAN WHO CAN DANCE

Hey 80's Babies.
Remember this guy?
Remember this spectacular dance scene?
Parker Young, do you remember this song?
The only thing better than watching a man who can dance, is watching a man who is Classically trained to dance.

WELL IS'NT THAT POOEY

CTV is cancelling Fashion Television after 27 years.
Jeanne Beker, oh Wise Fashionista, what's a girl to do????
Fashion Television had it all and even the theme song took me back to my beloved 80's every Saturday.
I have relied on that show to keep me grounded - fashionably - for more than half of my life.
POOEY!

THE DONALD

It takes ALOT to make me laugh these days but The Donald had me in stitches last night.
When discussing the Miss Universe Pageant and it's decision to allow the transgendered contestant to participate, The Donald was priceless.
His point was, comply with the rules and laws and that's that.
Then he went on to very seriously point out her name choice.
The legal name she chose post transgender operation:
Jenna Tal-Ackova
Donald was trying to be subtle. Donald was trying not to look discusted as he gave the world the hint.
Donald's face had the same expression, as we all do, when the WAFT from the mystery farter in a room full of guests hits us.

REVISTING THE WORD "WAFT"

WAFT is a word that we connect with Pamela Anderson.
Here's how we use it in a sentence: "Like the waft of Hep C that trails behind Pamela Anderson in her bikini."
Now Madge has a perfume and it's called "Truth or Dare".
What's kind of WAFT will that over priced bottle of poison have?

GOT TO GET ME SOME NEW READING GLASSES BY FALL

Cyndi Lauper has written a memoir and it is coming out THIS fall.
I can't wait....wish I was reading it now.
If you've been following our blog and able to weed through all the barfy Madge-Love postings that Parker tortures us with, then you'd already know Cyndi Lauper is my favorite :)

MENACING

As if this rainy Sunday afternoon wasn't long enough.
My son is watching Denis The Menace (the movie) on YTV.

So far it has made him cry (he's a toddler) probably because he finds it as relentless as I do.
John Hughes...Why did you bother with this one?

SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT....

Libby The Lone Blogger here.
Seems like all our other bloggers - no name(s) mentioned - are too busy wearing silver hoop earrings to blog these days ;)
I have a question:
Is Snooki the equivalent to Roseanne Bar of the 80's?
       
Roseanne was famous too and I am not sure why.
She had a TV show, she thought she was funny, she appeared on late night talk shows, she was dumpy and tacky, she liked to party, she was (is) trash and she was vulgar...both her behaviour and her mouth.
Here's what "Mother to be" Snooki posted on her twitter account recently:

“When my baby can hear sound I’m gonna blast Dobenbeck, Ercola, Medina, Kaskade & Tiesto.”

80'S SEXTING PARKER AND LIBBY STYLE

Sexting in the 80's would have gone something like this for Parker and I:

"Dude, wanna come over and watch Much Music, for real? It would be totally gnarly ass awesome if you and I went all the way! Like, if I could touch it first, then we could like do it. I am like totally bodacious and I'd let you touch my ta tas and I wouldn't even spaz! We've done everything but... so it would be way cool to do the wild thang."

Mild compared to what Sexting is today.

MAKE NO MISTAKE

Had Libby and I been born in this era we would have rocked the sexting.

We are after all the teamed that coined the phrase.... "wanna come in and watch MuchMusic".... no high school football player could ever resist those words........

That was when you had to pay for Much Music....

HAPPY ST.PATRICK'S DAY AND HAPPY (not a) SAINT, ROB DAY

It's Libby the loan blogger here....at least these days....
Since 1983, there hasn't been a single St.Patrick's Day that has gone by without me remembering that it is also Rob Lowe's birthday.
Happy Birthday Rob Lowe.

MADDY- MADGE

Don't blame me Parker Young.
Maddy-Madge just makes it easier and easier for me to sh*t on her.
SERIOUSLY.
I don't know enough details on this one, nor do I trust the Governments of places like this.
I will keep my jabs to myself.

AND THEN WE HAVE SWEET MARIE

Who wouldn't pee themselves standing on stage next to Donny Osmond?
I WOULD.
I think Parker did, when she ran up and hugged him, all those years ago.

A COUPLE OF TITS

When asked about Snooki's pregnancy, Rihanna replied:
"That's dope. We need more Snookis in the world!"
RiRi you're a dope.
In my world,1 Snooki and 1 Rihanna are too much for the trash can.

Here she is, covering her boobs, wearing a mesh top without a bra underneath.
Talk about going "out and about" - LOVELY.

ROYAL BULLYING

I've never been a fan of Morrissey or those types of people.
The type of people who make an issue out of anything and everything they can, just to be a pain in the ass and depressing.
I like the band The Smiths, I like their music but Morrissey is too much.

The slower version of this Smiths song is very sentimental to me, not because of the lyrics but because Wyatt played it for me...

BYE BYE BOBBY BROWN

When life is shit and friends are going through stuff, I am known to reassure them by saying this:
"It all works out in the end. If it hasn't worked out, it is'nt the end."
I can't honestly recall where I heard that saying but it always holds true.

In the end, it is ALL working out for Miss Bobbi Kristina Brown.
Following her mother's passing, the teenager is going to change her name to Kristina Houston.
I LOVE IT.
The name suits her and this is something she has wanted to do since her parents divorce in 2006.
The 19-year-old wants to change her name because of its association with her father, Bobby Brown.

JON BON DO-ME TURNED 50

My Jon Bon Do-Me turned 50 this month.
**SIGH**
Truth be told, we had a rocky start.
I didn't like him at all in the beginning.

I was gaga over him once he cut his hair and the years that followed.

I own an autographed poster, from back in the day, of Keep The Faith.
Long story short: the entire band was woken up to sign this poster for me :)
Sleepy headed Jon Bon Jovi came out of his hotel room wearing nothing more than leather pants and knee high Doc Martin's.
Again ***SIGH***
These days, I just really admire the guy because he does REALLY great things for humanity.
Who would have known? Who could have predicted this one?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON.
The world is a better place because you are here.
