Pregnant man is not actually a man at all. Oh, he’s pregnant, but he’s a she. He had his breasts cut off and took some testosterone and decided to keep his female reproductive organs so he/she could have a child some day. The man said that an ex asked him why not just be a lesbian? I can probably tell you…because he would have as much attention? I mean come on now, if you want to live as a man then be a man. Men do not give birth, men should not want to be pregnant and give birth. I think this is one confused person that needs to stop having surgeries and start having counseling. I also find it odd that they went on Oprah and to People magazine. Dude, keep it hush  hush if you don’t want attention.

The other day on the radio they were talking about the Dark Sky Festival, sadly I had never heard of this before. Even more sadly is that they could not stop laughing about one of the people’s names in the press release they were reading long enough to actually talk about what a wonderful thing this is. If you are like me and have no clue what the Dark Sky Festival is, when it’s taking place, or what the reason behind it is, sit back and keep reading.

This will actually be the 5th Annual Dark Sky Festival at Harmony. The festival takes place on Saturday, April 5th, 2008 around 7pm. Yes, this is all going to happen in the town of Harmony in the state of Florida. If you are live in this area I urge you to make your way to the Harmony Town Square and take part and teach your children a valuable lesson.

You might be thinking along the lines that I was, how gorgeous is it going to be in Harmony on the night of April 5th. Can you remember a time when the sky wasn’t lit up almost completely with artificial lighting? I can guarantee if you do then you want to share that with the children in your family and show them the alternatives. I’m 32 and I want to take part in this so I can imagine what type of spark we could light in children!

Not close to Harmony? No Problem. The festival kicks off the start of National Dark Sky Week. That’s your chance to educate and make a difference in the area of light pollution. Artificial lighting doesn’t just pollute our senses to the natural night sky, it wastes energy, and can cause health problems. More sadly, artificial light disrupts the surrounding natural environment.

My own five year old daughter loves animals, bugs, and plants. What a perfect opportunity this is going to be to teach her a life long lesson and help end light pollution. Sure, I can teach her about the alternatives of artificial lighting with more environment friendly lighting options, but I really want to promote going natural with her.

The 5th Annual Dark Sky Festival is going to be full of fun events for the entire family. The kids will be treated to a Cosmic Kids Zone complete with a speaker talking about Myths in the Night. Telescopes will be available to view the stars, informational booths, astronomers, food, and music by Rare Earth. If you can’t be there you can still have fun at home in the backyard, or local park. Let your kids have some friends over and ask the neighbors to turn their outdoor lights off for a set period of time, they may even want to join the fun. Provide telescopes, snacks, and some informational material and I guarantee you’ll spark the imaginations that will make a difference in the future!

Q:Why did the oyster cross the road?
A:He was in my grocery sack getting ready to be eaten!

Seriously, if you are going to eat or especially cook oysters you need to Be Oyster Aware. Millions of people eat Gulf oysters every single year and for good reasons. They taste yummy, they are chock full of vitamins, zinc, omega 3’s, all things that help your body in so many wonderful ways. Yet every time you consume all this goodness you are at risk of death from Vibrio vulnificus bacteria. Vibrio vulnificus isn’t always harmful to the average person, but to someone with liver disease, a weakened immune system, or diabetes it can be fatal. Avoiding raw oysters completely is the best way to go if you have any of those ailments. For anyone who loves oysters check out Be Oysters Aware and get all the information you need. You can find out if you are at risk, what Vibrio vulnificus is exactly, and the symptoms of it. After you find the all clear feeling and hunger in your stomach check out some of the oyster recipes they have on the site!

Wait, as I typed that I realized that was Valentine’s Day. Now it’s just even more bizarre that I’m going to type this story out. I predict that JLo and Marc Anthony are the next Michael Jackson’s. They are truly wacko.

The story was….JLo will give birth to twins on Thursday. Apparently it’s a cesarean. She will be wearing designer hospital gowns because normal hospital gowns will not fit her at this point. To avoid anyone catching a glimpse of her exposed, she gets to take her own designer gowns in to use. Now, I’m not sure what hospital policy is and I’m sure they would let any Joe Schmo do this? However, I think JLo should just suck it up and do what all over fat people do that can’t fit in the gowns. Worry about those babies and bring a robe from home to cover your rear end.

Gosh I hope she loses that pregnancy weight quick or she’s going to be in a world of fat people hurt!

So some dumbass senator ( I think) from some state has decided he wants some fame so he’s going with a totally original ban. You know because banning smoking persons from public places was already taken so he thought he’d pick on fat people now. He’s proposing that people who are overweight not be allowed to eat in restaurants. Humm.

What was the reasoning behind this? Apparently the “reason” is the same as the smoking ban. Smoking is not healthy and ultimately the hope is that smokers will want to be out in society with the rest of us and stop their nasty habits. Although, I don’t think that’s the reason at all.

The reason that people don’t like smokers in public places, especially in restaurants that are close in proximity is that the habit is disgusting to most anyone who doesn’t take part in it. For me, it’s damn disgusting. I also personally think you have a problem if you are going to give that much money to something that’s hindering your daily lifestyle. The last time I checked nobody had a condition or disease that forced them to smoke. Plenty of people are overweight because of medical conditions that they were born with.

Let’s keep going. Second hand smoke is bad for people. It’s especially bad for babies. When I see a mother who is pregnant or has a small child smoking away I want to snap her stupid little head off. Should my child have to sit in a restaurant and reap the benefits of her disgusting choices as well? Nope. Does it hurt my child if someone is fat and eating a piece of cheesecake? Nope.

The bottom line is that being overweight is not a health risk to anyone but yourself. Hey, it might be disgusting to everyone else to watch a 400lb person chow down on a chicken wing. I get disgusted by many things. I dislike whorish women, but I don’t lobby to have them thrown out of places when they are on dates. I keep hearing the word offend by people talking about this subject. If we let things like this go, the next thing you know we’ll be banning Muslims because it might be offensive for someone to sit by them in a restaurant. I mean after all, that person might have had a son or daughter who died in Iraq, so that makes it ok right?

This country is about tolerance and that means tolerance of colors, disabilities, and yes fat people.

Well Perez (gag me with a pitch fork) says it’s not happening, but according to every media outlet on the face of the earth and the official NKOTB site it is. What am I talking about? New Kids On The Block coming back and recording an album. I have to add that I’m going on the word of the 2 radio stations I was listening to yesterday that read the news release, logged onto the site while on air, and read from the website. However, Perez says that The Monkey’s official myspace page sent out a bulletin that said differently.

Normally I wouldn’t care about such issues. Normally I’d chalk this up to what it’s being pass off as which is taking a page out of the Spice Girls book of etiquette and doing a comeback tour. Hey it worked for the Spice Girls so it could work for NKOTB right? I’m not going to question them, I’m obsessed with the Becks so I say go for it, if Posh can do it so can you.

However, yesterday was my birthday. Did you hear? I got in my car and took the child to preschool. I mean I remembered doing that much. I remembered brushing her teeth and putting her socks on and climbing into bed and tickling the piss out of her whilst demanding that she tell me Happy Birthday Dear Beautiful Mommy and actually sing to me. She was so tired, I had to dress and tidy her up.

When I get in my car after dropping her off and hear Hangin Tough on the radio and The Right Stuff I start to question if I’m 32 or 12. I have flashbacks. I wonder if someone is dead? I hear the news. I literally tinkle in my panties at the prospect of actually being old enough to rent a hotel room, hang out in the bar area at 2:00 am and have cocktails beside Jordan Knight instead of being wisked away by security after a middle aged mom beats the holy crap out of me with her elbow so I can’t touch Jordan and her snotty nosed little brat can.

So I’ve decided to go on the search for the real answers. I’ll have to actually visit their site later, visit various other sites, and of course see what the word on the street is. I also pledged my love for my husband and told him that I’d love him forever for staying with me after I lost all control trying to get concert tickets so I could relive my childhood, drove me to the show, sat through it with me, and bailed me out of jail. I’ll still love you I said, I hope you’ll still love me.

Yesterday the girl at the portrait studio and I were talking about how all the trends come back around. She said when Hyper Color Shirts came back then she’d know it was complete. Now for those of you who have no clue what a Hyper Color Shirt is, screw off. Seriously. The long and short of it was they are shirts that will change color when touched by your hand, although they rarely eve did anything special. Oh, unless you count looking a hot mess when it rained. According to the search, ebay has some for sale, if you wanted to get in your way back machine and say Hi!

What got me started was sitting here going, does anyone remember Janice from Friends? The last two days I have watched it and they have been from way back in the start of things, I remember when people dressed that way every day. Now, here is where I show my true age.

I remember being a Freshman in high school and all the “cool” upperclassmen were going to see Wayne’s World the Friday night it came out at the theater. We went too. So I saw Wayne’s World on opening night. I remember sitting in a hotel room with my family watching OJ run from the cops in his white SUV and then on the way home from Sea World every time we saw an SUV that was white someone had to be a smart ass and scream IT’S OJ!

Probably the saddest, most humiliating thing I remember is the Christmas when I thought I’d die if I didn’t get Vanilla Ice’s cassette tape for Christmas. My mom worked in a group home and she cleared it with the directors to bring an orphan home for Christmas that she was really fond of. I remember sitting in the car with this girl and getting all stupid listening to Ice Ice Baby.

I watched Shooter the other day and wondered how old Mark Wahlberg was because I remember seeing Marky Mark when I was 14 getting something to eat after a New Kids On The Block concert with his mom of all people. I think he had to be about 15 or so. You know back when he was a nobody, and just Marky Mark Donnie’s little brother, not Mark Wahlberg super star!

Kevin’s watching the news listening to them talk about the election results. I’m pretty bummed that Bart Peterson got beat for mayor, but that’s not why I’m writing. I could go on and on about the election, but I’m here to gripe about Hollywood and the writers strike.

I was waiting to hear what they had to say about the shows that will be taken off because of the writers strike. We assume it’s going to be the small shows that are new and being written a week at a time just in case they bomb. However, deep down inside I am worried that Heroes will be taken off until further notice. Then, I’m not sure if I could function properly. I mean is Peter going to figure out how to use those abilities again? Is Hiro dead? What in the world is going to happen to Nickie and is DL dead or alive?

So yeah the cable box just messed up so I’m going to convince myself that it’s something like Moonlight that’s going to be canned or postponed and not Heroes or ER. Oh or Kitchen Nightmares, because frankly BBC is running reruns and I’m starting to get a little bitchy about it.

I don’t know anyone who is not looking to save money around the holidays. I have an even better option for you, save money and the environment. By using LED Christmas lights instead of the traditional type of lights you can save money and energy.

Because LED Xmas lights will use 80 to 90% less energy than incandescent lights you will be making a significant impact on the amount of energy used this holiday season. Now, stop and think about all the holiday celebrations. Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanza just to name a few. You have office parties, school functions, and of course houses decorated for the occasion. What if all of those people switched to LED String lighting? The truth is that if only half or one switches it’s worth the effort of promoting and educating the world on these small changes you can do.

What else can you do besides switching your outdoor lights? You can use a live Christmas tree that can be replanted or turned into compost. You can also save energy by switching the lights on your tree to LED Christmas tree lights. It goes way beyond just outdoor Christmas lights. Your going to increase your usage during the holidays so attempt to counteract that with the LED lights.

Some other simple things you can do are using biodegradable decorations like cranberries or popcorn strings. I could see this becoming a family project and almost a quest to have an environmentally friendly holiday season. Saving the environment doesn’t have to be boring, it can be fun, creative for the whole family, and a huge learning experience.

Thinking of the popular Lap Band surgery? Try Lap Band Ventura where you Journey Lite surgeon will use laparascopic techniques to perform your surgery. This requires tiny incisions and an inflatable silicone band being placed around the upper part of your stomach. After your procedure you’ll have a new pouch in your stomach that controls what the amounts of food you can consume. By only consuming a fraction of what you could previously have, you’ll ultimately loose weight. Journey Lite specializes in the Lap Band Sydney which is quickly becoming the most popular weight loss surgery available.
