As a "Thank You" to our lead singer, we gave him a frame with the wakingNorman discs, including the two albums and our music video. We also found a perfect quote for him that I want to share with all of you.
"Nothing is as real as a dream.
The world can change around you,
but your dream will not.
Responsibilities need not erase it.
Duties need not obscure it.
Because the dream is within you,
no one can take it away."

Those Were The Times....
"Those Were the Times" is a song that always brings back memories from college and the good times spent there. That song also applies to the ride with wakingNorman.
Today is my lead singer's last gig with wakingNorman. It's going to be a sad show. He is burned out and must give up the dream for now. The band won't be the same without his voice. The memories will always be there though and that will always be fun.
The rest of the guys are moving on with our new lead. Saw them all play last night and as much as I hate to admit it, they were happy and I wanted to cry because it was so good to see them happy. They haven't had a spark like that in a long time and as much as I hate to see the band go on without our current lead, this is what needs to happen.

Women's Ass Size Study
There is a new study out about women and how they feel about their asses. I thought the results were pretty interesting:
85% of women think their ass is too big.
10% of women think their ass is too little.
The other 5% say that they don't care, they love him, he's a good man, and they would have married him anyway.

21 Clues a Woman Should Call it a Night...
My girl Julie sent this to me. Sadly, I can relate to a couple of them.
21 CLUES A WOMAN SHOULD CALL IT A NIGHT...
1. I have absolutely no idea where my purse is.
2. I believe that dancing with my arms overhead and wiggling my butt while yelling WOO-HOO is truly the sexiest dance move around.
3. I've suddenly decided I want to kick someone's ass and honestly believe I could do it too.
4. In my last trip to "pee" I realize I now look more like Tammy Faye Baker than the goddess I was just four hours ago.
5 . I drop my 3:00 a.m. burrito on the floor (which I'm eating even though I'm not the least bit hungry),pick it up and carry on eating it.
6. I start crying and telling everyone I see that I love them sooooo much.
7. There are less than three hours before I'm due to start work.
8. I've found a deeper/spiritual side to the geek sitting next to me.
9. The man I'm flirting with used to be my 5th grade teacher.
10 . The urge to take off articles of clothing, stand on a table and sing or dance becomes strangely overwhelming.
11. My eyes just don't seem to want to stay open on their own so I keep them half closed and think it looks exotically sexy.
12. I've suddenly taken up smoking and became really good at it.
13. I yell at the bartender, who (I think) cheated me by giving me just lemonade, but that's just because I can no longer taste the gin.
14. I think I'm in bed, but my pillow feels strangely like the kitchen floor.
15. I start every conversation with a booming, DON'T take this the WRONG WAY but..."
16. I fail to notice that the toilet lid's down when I sit on it.
17. My hugs begin to resemble wrestling take-down moves.
18. I'm tired so I just sit on the floor (wherever I happen to be standing)and take a quick nap.
19. I begin leaving the buttons open on my button fly pants to cut down on the time I'm in the bathroom away from my drink.
20. I take my shoes off because I believe it's their fault that I'm having problems walking straight.
21. I start believing that everyone in the room wants to see my boobs.

What Age Do You Act?
This is funny because I took the quiz and I act my actual age. Weird because I feel like I act younger.
You Are 29 Years Old |
29 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax. |
How Normal Are You?
55% normal, is that a good thing?
You Are 55% Normal (Somewhat Normal) |
 While some of your behavior is quite normal... Other things you do are downright strange You've got a little of your freak going on But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself |
What Are The Keys To Your Heart?
Another one for you for insight on me...
The Keys to Your Heart |
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. |
In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. |
You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change. |
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. |
Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. |
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. |
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. |
In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted. |
What Does Your Birth Date Mean?
Although my birthday was months ago, thought this was interesting...
Your Birthdate: February 6 |
A birthday on the 6th of the month adds a tone of responsibility, helpfulness, and understanding to your natural inclinations. Those born on the sixth are more apt to be open and honest with everyone, and more caring about family and friends, too. This is a number associated with responsibility and caring - this birthday lends a degree of concern for others. |
What Kind of American English Do You Speak?
Came across this from someone's site, I just don't remember who now that I've clicked all over the place. I think it might be Mike's...yeah yeah it was his.
Your Linguistic Profile: |
70% General American English |
10% Dixie |
10% Upper Midwestern |
5% Midwestern |
5% Yankee |

Things have been crazy these past couple of weeks. People remember, you can't be friends with the opposite sex if they are married....with issues with their spouses. I would like to think that with my best guy friends, even after they get married, I can still be friends with them, but some don't see it that way. Am I wrong for thinking that? All I have been is a friend. I guess I'm really NOT "just one of the guys."
