Missing my Dad

Image
Tomorrow marks the 6 year anniversary of my dad's death. It's hard to think about him because it depresses me. He never got to know his granddaughter, and really, not even his grandson. I mean he met his grandson and loved the little baby boy he was, but he didn't get to know the little toddler, who turned into a sweet little boy, who looks at his pictures and asks about him all the time. Dad and Little V In this picture, they had the exact same amount of teeth in their heads... lol. My dad did the best he could I guess. He probably figured that I was ok, cause I never needed him, which is why he focused so hard on the siblings who had issues. Damn, they were serious ones too, but he took it upon himself to fix, and what he didn't realize is that he had other family needing him just as much. What he really didn't get was that you can't fix someone who doesn't want to be fixed. My brother and sister, who are his namesake, are fucked up beyond all belief, and

Happy Halloween II

We're Back from Trick or Treating. 2 hours and 10lbs of candy later. We're back. We had a blast. The kids are getting ready for bed. Here are the pics I promised. This is T as a Punk Rock Princess. V as a Dead B-Ball Player. I told you they looked awesome. I did the makeup myself, and they used their own clothes for costumes.

Happy Halloween

Today is one of my favorite times of the year. I love dressing my kids up to take them trick or treating. I'm going to try and get my camera to work again (took it to the beach and the kids got sand all over it... LOL. Sorry Momma Liz. I've gotta clean it out cause the kids' costumes are gonna be awesome yet again this year. Last year they were little cuties, T was Sleeping Beauty, and V was a dead guy who got run over. The year before they were T as the Wicked Witch Of the East before the house fell on her, and V was Black Suited Spiderman. Before that, T was a Witch and V was Spiderman. This year T will be a Punk Rock Princess, and V will be a dead Basketball player. Pictures will be posted later today. Stay tuned!

Remembering what I chose to forget

With the upcoming 6 year anniversary of my father's passing, something in me told me to google my mother's name, and I ran across my sister's recovery page, then her blog. My sister is a recovering drug and alcohol addict. There are things she did to me during that period that I have not been able to forgive her for, because I have always been hurt by the fact that my parents favored her and my other siblings over me. I know that they don't see it that way, to them I was the spoiled baby of the family. My parents gave me a lot of material things, and I know that made my siblings jealous of me. My siblings will deny being the favorites if given the opportunity, but they never saw what I saw. They had my parents love so completely, that I never felt there was any left for me. My parents were always there for them, till the day each one passed away. My brothers and sisters heard "I love you" from them more than I ever did. In fact, my mother only ever said those

Las Vegas now has a pro football team...

The Las Vegas Locos and so far so good. i am loving this game. Vegas is in the lead right now 20-14 against the California Redwoods , whose running back is John David Washington , son of the actor Denzel Washington . Sorry Denzel, but my team is kicking your son's team's ass. :D So now we're in the 4th quarter and my team is still up 3 points and about to get another TD I think. I'm a die hard Cowboys fan, well except the fact that they have Oh-No Romo as their quarterback, the Cowboys are a great team, but I am quickly becoming a Las Vegas Locos fan for life baby! My hats off to our quarterback J.P. Losman he's a lot better than I thought he would be. Can't wait till next week, I will definitely be buying tickets for the whole family to go see the game. The UFL is starting out fantastically.

RIP Patrick Swayze

Today the world lost one of the last great actors. Patrick Swayze passed away today at the age of 57, in his home in California. The article on Google lays it out for you, but this is my two sense. Patrick Swayze is and always will be one of the greatest actors of my era. There aren't many out there who come close to him. Considering I was born in 1980, and am a classic movie lover, the golden age of Hollywood boasted the best actors of all time, Mr. Swayze was the best of the best, acting, singing, and dancing, just like old Hollywood. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, Lisa Niemi, and his family today. Rest in peace, Patrick.

Taylor Swift Vs. Beyonce` Video and Kanye West

Seriously, from everything I have read so far about the VMA Awards show and Kanye West's behaviour, what I have to say is just adding my two sense. I love Beyonce`'s Music and Taylor's as well, I have what you would call an eclectic taste in music. But seriously folks, for that jack to get up on stage and upstage a seventeen year old girl who, 1. writes most all of her own music and has since like the age of 12, 2. helped to produce that music video herself, and 3. sings like an angel (my opinion mind you), shows not only how ignorant he really is, but how low his self esteem must be. He needs to not only issue a public apology to Taylor AND Beyonce` for his poor behavior, but to his dearly departed mother who is more than likely turning in her grave as we speak knowing how asinine her son really is to trample on a young girl's big night like that. Now for the real deal of this blog... the music video's. Okay so Taylor won for best female music video and Beyon
