If I Would, Could You?

I've decided to stop it with the song titles for a while and go to lyrics. Lyrics say so much more than song titles. Today's particular lyric has nothing to do with this blog entry. I just really enjoy the song and like that Alice in Chains ended it this way. You don't hear many songs that end with a question like that. By the way, for those of you who don't know, this is from Would? by Alice in Chains.

Things seem to be looking up in Hizzyville. My car was sick, but is much better now. I was sick, but I am much better now. Nix was sick, but he's much better now. Seems that sickness has been a constant in my life for the last month or so. I'm glad it's over, really. Sick is depressing.

I had a really good weekend. The highlight of it was getting to go to the grocery store and get provisions. I now have lots of yummy food.

Speaking of food, I need to lose about 10 lbs. I need to start walking again. I'd join a gym, but I just don't have that kind of money. I was going well losing weight, but then I just got lazy and started eating Jack in the Box a lot. That'll put the pounds on anyone, except Beaver. The dude lives on JITB and doesn't gain a pound. I don't think Beaver can get fat. I wish I had his metabolic rate.

Speaking of money, I'm thisclose to having all my bills paid. And I got a grand plus back from my federal income taxes. Go me. Having money in savings is good.

I am the proud owner of a plant now. I forget what kind of plant it is. My mom told me. But it's little and cool and gives my kitchen some life.

Things seem to be looking up in the Scarlet Whore camp. We have procured a new lead singer named Jarrod. He's a good guy, very loyal to the band, and such a departure vocally from Erk. Our first show back is Friday and I am expecting quite a huge turnout. The last 2 times I've been to this club, it's been pretty full. Kids in Wentzville don't have anything else to do on a Friday night.

The news has been pissing me off lately. Yep, I'm complaining. Fuck you. We have a war going on, children are starving on our streets, we may not have Social Security in 20 years, gas prices are through the roof and what is Congress concerned about? Juiced up millionaires. Frankly, I don't care if Mark McGwire did steroids. If he did, fuck him. He's a cheater. If he didn't, then shut up about it. But does Congress really need to take a stand? Congress has much more important things to focus on.

And this Terri Schaivo thing. GIve me a goddamned break. I'm not even going to get into this one. I'm liable to rant all night and into tomorrow morning. All I will say is this...make a living will, go to the bank, get it notarized, and have 2 witnesses sign it in front of the notary. Make your requests known. Who knows when you're gonna be put in a situation where one of your family members has to decide your fate and you don't have any legal declaration of your wishes. It will save everyone a lot of trouble and ultimately, your wishes will be honored.

I'd really like to thank everyone for participating in my little March Music Mayhem thing on the Bugjuice board. The best is yet to come. Rumour has it, there may be a prize in it at the end for someone.

I'd like to introduce a NEW feature to the Hizzblog. I'm going to put a disclaimer on this right now. This is exclusive to my blog and my blog alone. If anyone steals this, I'm going to be very angry. VERY angry. This was my idea and I would like to be able to keep it that way. Thank you.

Ponder This:
If God dropped acid, would he see people?
If you try to fail, and you succeed, which have you done?

Blind

Featured song title is by Korn
--------------------------------

Yep, you heard it right, folks. Blind. I'm blind. Well, not exactly. Ok, let me shut up and explain. I broke my glasses today. I stepped on them and snapped the frame in two. The lenses are fine, but I wasn't about to tape them together. Thank god I have contacts. Guess who's warranty on her glasses ran out in February -- MINE! It's okay. New frames are only gonna cost me about 30 bucks. I'm gonna go get it all taken care of tomorrow and should have new frames by this time next week. I'm so retarded.

I took some pretty pictures of myself today. I needed them for my MySpace page. No, they're not dirty pics, you pervs. Just face pics. And yes, the horns are being thrown. Did you expect anything less? I didn't think so.

I got a new bird feeder for all the little birdies outside of my apartment and wouldn't you know it, the fucker broke today. It was really windy here. It blew down from it's hanging position and the lid is now shattered. I'm gonna hoosier-rig it good though. Yes, I have a bird feeder. No, I don't care if you laugh at me. I'm such an old woman.

Rumour has it that Black Sabbath may be making a stop in the Lou on their US tour. I will post the date as soon as I get it.

I got my shoes for Toni and Erich's wedding. I love them. They're so cool looking. Makes me want to get dressed up just so I can wear them.

I think that's all.

Song of the Day : Hanzel und Gretyl --> SS Deathstar Supergalaktik
Link of the Day : Click here to find the Missouri Sex Offender Registry. Is there one in your neighborhood? (Coincidentally, there's one that lives in the next apartment building over from me). This is an exceptionally useful tool, esp. if you have children (though some of the people on here are rapists too)

Time for Livin'

**Time For Livin' is a song by the Beastie Boys. While the Beasties have fallen off in the last couple years, this still remains one of my all time favorite Beastie Boys songs.**

So I haven't updated lately. Sue me. Go ahead. I'm mainly doing this so Beaver will stop telling me to update my blog.

I think I'm back among the living. I was sick as a dog for about the last two weeks. It was a hellacious sickness, like the flu and a cold on top of each other. Fuck, I wanted to die. Thank god for good drugs. I like medicine that makes me sleepy. And I am such a trooper, I didn't miss a damn day of work. Go me! Making money and having drowsy medicine. WOO!!!! In the process, I got Nix sick though. He's getting much better. He's not mute anymore. I felt so bad, having gotten him sick. I really didn't mean to. It just happened.

My car is pretty much fucked, or at least on the way to being fucked. I most likely have a leaky head gasket, causing antifreeze to leak into the oil, thereby making the oil all ucky. I may have to take it to the dealership, rendering me carless for an indeterminate amount of time. Guess I should get a bus schedule, cause that's probably the only way my ass is getting to work. Yay! The bus! With hoosiers and crack addicts! I can't wait.

My band got pretty new pictures taken last night. They turned out well. Can't wait to see the cleaned-up product. In other news, this is an open call for people to come out and support local music on the 25th of this month at the Midwest Music Pit in Wentzville. It should be a good time. No wait, strike that. I WILL be a good time.

I think that's it. I've decided to kill the 'Word of the Day' idea. It's been done. It's tired. I give you --
