WTF Wednesday - Vertigo
By admin | July 2, 2009
Mama got vertigo this week. WTF?? Vertigo? Who gets vertigo?
I swear my Mama gets the weirdest medical conditions ever. She can never get anything relatively normal, like the flu. Even when she breaks bones, she breaks strange ones like her collarbone, ring finger, or nose, never something average like an arm or leg.
I dunno, I guess it sucks for her that she’s been stuck at home on the couch with the rest of the world spinning around her for the past few days. But it’s cool with me cause I got a perfectly legitimate reason to be lazy and snuggle with her all day long.
Course, it’s also my responsibility to explain to the neighbors that she’s really sick and not just some loony drunk lady with wild uncombed curly hair and eyeliner smears who lets us out in the backyard while wearing her jammies at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, swaying and stumbling all over the place.
Cause that’s what she looks like. It’s a pretty tough sell.

RIP Michael …
By admin | June 29, 2009
Okay, better late than never, I just couldn’t figure out how exactly I wanted to pay my tribute to Michael Jackson. Sure, he turned into a bit of a freakshow later on in his life (I don’t think anyone’s gonna deny that), but the vintage MJ is still some hot shit.
I’m especially fond of the Jackson 5 stuff, so here’s a video of them perfoming my fave J5 song, “I Want You Back” on … get this … Souuuuuuul Train! Dig it!
But I didn’t feel that a simple music video of Michael was enough of a memorial. I mean, he meant so much to so many different kinds of people all over the world. So I thought I would choose one specific type of person who seems to have been particularly moved by MJ …
… dudes who totally can’t dance. Please don’t think I’m being mean! I’m not! Check out the joy on the faces of these assorted guys as the groove moves through their bodies!
They just can’t seem to help themselves! The groove is so funky, they just gotta dance!
Audio is kinda crappy in this second one, but trust me, these two suburban white boys’ moves are totally worth it!
So if a Michael Jackson song can overcome any last shred of self-consciousness to give ANYONE the freedom to joyfully shake, shake, shake it like that, without giving a shit what anyone else may think … than he’s left the world a wonderful gift indeed.

Happy Father!
By admin | June 26, 2009
So I wanted to finally post a pic of me and my sisters giving our Dad his Father’s Day present. We got him a big container of gummy worms and a super awesome card that refers to him as “The Dude of Our Brood.” Plus lots of licks and kisses and snuggles.
Of course he totally loved it and felt EXTRA lucky to have all of us as his furkids. Except for maybe when we were jumping all over him to get to the gummy worms …
