...mode.
I really need to get back to the city but until then, in light of the CMT awards, I wrote another little diddy for y'all. I seem to be thinking with a heavy country accent when writing these songs so the blog has a bit of a twang to it this week.
I guess its my way of getting into character when I write, which BTW, has inspired me to write another song and feature it tomorrow.
Its a little number I call, "The Trophy Needs Polishing".
You'll never guess what the metaphor is until you read it.
So stay tuned little darlins.
Im sure it will tickle your fancy!!
Anyhoo..heres todays featured song
Two Drunks don't make a right
Its the middle of the night
Its both our fault
Were to drunk to talk
Lets just go for a walk
Two drunks don’t make it right
It just makes it easier
For us to get over a fight
You with your tequila
And me with my beer
Doesn’t look good from here
wait till our heads are clear
Two drunks don’t make it right
It just makes it easier
For us to get over a fight
I push all your buttons
And you push all mine
We don’t need to drink more wine
In the morning we’ll be fine
Two drunks don’t make a right
It just makes it easier
For us to get over a fight
Were about to lose
Look what were doing wrong
we seem to drink way too long
You and I ain't that strong
Two drunks don’t make a right
It just makes it easier
For us to get over a fight
If were going to survive
old habits are hard to break
but that’s what we need to take
for our family’s sake
Two drunks don’t make a right
It just makes it easier
For us to get over a fight
Blondes are still rocking, its just in a porch chair at the moment!!

Scrap the Crap...
I needed to pick up a scrapbook for a friend.
I just needed a normal black book with black or white pages to stick photos and letter into, like the ones I am familiar with. I did not realize that 'scrap booking' is a major industry with its own section at the craft store.
To find a plain leather bound book without the words 'memory' or 'moment' stitched or printed on the front, I had to sift and wade through shelves of albums created by the Martha Stewart Home collection to match your walls, in creamy pastel puke me paint coordinated colors.
Come on seriously, how many shades of robin's egg blue and eggshell does one really need?
I remain a true blonde and if I am ever caught in a craft store discussing whether the puffy stickies over the velvet stickies would work better with the puke me paint album cover...pleez, pleeez, just shoot me!!
Anyhoo,
They have an entire section of scrapbook material from little suitcases to organize your plethora of 'scrapbook' crap such as stickers, scissors, background paper, lettering, glitter, blah, blah ,blah. You name it, they have it. Its like putting a Myspace site together minus the music and video player but I am sure they aren't that far behind Hallmark.
I wonder which of the two scrapbooks, virtual or real, will stand the test of time?
Which one will be around in 100 years?
There are scrolls thousand of years old that still provide answers and details of ancient times. My Grandmother's old photos and her great, great Grandmother's hand written letters are sitting in a shoe box on a shelf in my Mothers closet just as good as the day she wrote them. While digital mediums such as floppies, old tapes, and film need million dollar temp controlled rooms to survive as little as a few decades.
Will the internet be able to go the dame distance? Will future generations find any educational advantage to Hello Kitty stickers and 'pimp me' induced sites on the web.
As far as digital medium is concerned, I have to ask? Who can keep track of those tiny memory cards? I can't! I have a habit of reusing them, moving files around, crashing computers, and losing half of my photos. Its the present day version of forgetting to process rolls of film only to discover them years later and developing pink grainy art and the loss of photos.
For now, Myspace and Ofoto seem an easier solution for me but for my ancestors and for preservation, what does the future hold for these sites?
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), still cannot give a precise time line for the deterioration of many of the formats we currently rely on to store precious digital records. A recent report by NIST researcher Fred R. Byers notes that estimates vary from 20 to 200 years for popular media such as the CD and DVD, and even the low end of these estimates may be possible only under ideal environmental conditions that few historians are likely to reproduce in their homes or offices.
Digital preservation should be big business along with finding ways to properly discard the multitude of obsolete objects the world is in store for.
Blondes aren't throwing away their shoe boxes just yet!!

Goin' Country
or at least my writing is for the moment.
Seeing as I am hanging with a a hayseed cowboy in the music industry, its only natural to be inspired to write a country song. I don't know a lick about music but I assume its just poetry set to sound.
Anyhoo...
My country song....y'all!!!
Women don't play fair
I guess you thought I’d be easy
Thats why you came over to the bar
You asked me for a drink
Making sure he wasn’t that far
Kept the conversation going
To be sure he wouldn’t miss
You leaning into me
And giving me one hell of a kiss
damn that pretty face, long legs
and shiny hair
men don’t stand a chance
cause women just don’t play fair
I knew you were trouble
I should have been on my way
you weren’t thinking of me
When you begged me to stay
You were looking for a fight
And you put me in the middle
You got your boys attention
and played us both like a fiddle
Damn that pretty face, long legs
and shiny hair
men don’t stand a chance
cause women
just don’t play fair
Blondes are a little bit country but we still rock!!

In a Double Blonde Test
I mean double blind....what the hell is a double blind test?
Who goes to the Obesity Institute and what kind of degree can you obtain?
Seriously, are fat people stupid?
Because these con artists have ample funds for advertising which I am subjected to in the morning when listening to CMT so by a few degrees of separation...fat people have gotten on my nerves.
Diet and exercise are the only things known to man to lose weight unless you have stretched your stomach out to the size of a Buick and need stapling to manage your elephant like hunger.
I would love to scarf down a Big Mac and super size me fries with a diet coke, but I don't because I love the way I look more than I love Micky Ds...
and if my hands weren't busy holding my flamed broiled whopper...I would tell you what I really think!!
I have to go now and climb a beanstalk for my cardio workout.
Blondes don't buy magic beans!!

The mouse can run up the clock...
I am too lazy and not enough crazy to go after my watch. I am just not that motivated to be vindictive. It would be nice to shell out the karma myself one day but its just not who I am. It seriously takes too much effort to be mean spirited. I have seen girls plot and scheme with the vengeance of a corporate take over. If I had that ability, I would be taking over corporations like Gordon Gecko...not wasting time on an insignificant other. Besides, my watch is tainted now anyway.
So how does a blond rectify the situation you ask?
Well just like replacing a man...
She goes shopping for a new one!!
Overstock.com has my stainless steal Tag for half the retail.
Blondes like throwing money at the problem!!
