Trust your gut

You know how you have that gut instinct. You know, down deep when something tells you, “this is not right” or “this person is probably not trustworthy.” Well, most times I listen to the instinct but I did not with a particular friend (don’t worry, it’s none of you…she doesn’t even know this blog exists).

Sometimes you want to give a person the benefit of the doubt. Or maybe it is that you are just so lonely that having a conversation; meaningless banter about ebay auctions and the mail postage rate going up. Through months and months of banter my gut instinct started to prove true about this person right before Christmas. Yet, I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt once again, but this time with my guard up. Well, tonight was the last straw…

Wow, do I wish I would have listened to my gut a LONG time ago. Maybe this wouldn’t hurt as bad then as it does now.

ALWAYS trust your gut. Most times than not, it is right.

Little known facts about Boy

Yes, I am babbling about U2 again! lol I was reminded one day of U2's first album called "Boy." It was released in 1980 and this is the cover that the guys wanted:


Well, believe it or not, it was turned down... Why you ask? Because it was considered pornographic! (the world has changed a lot!). U2 was wanting to show the innocence of a Boy. I know that a lot of the album had songs where Bono talked about the death of his mother and how hard it was to overcome it at the age of nine. Mainly, the song "Boy" on that album is about that.

The boy in the photo is actually a brother of one of Bono's best friends (Guggi)

Here it he cover of the album as you could buy it in a store today. This is the cover on my of the album:



Oddly enough, if you go to U2's website and look under their albums you will see the photo of the Boy and not this ugly cover...(sorry guys but I do like the boy better lol)

In 1983, the same boy in the photo of "Boy" posed for the cover of "War":



Funny thing is, the kid was actually in a fight that day and that cut on his head is real! I can't remember the entire story - if they planned to use in him the photo shoot or not - but that is the photo they decided to go with.

Anyway, that's your education on U2 for the day hehe ;)

Update on “My Depressing and Bad Week (and it’s only Tuesday)” post

Well, my mom (who I think is the only person who really reads my ramblings lol) saw this post and felt so bad for me that she wrapped up my college diploma and put in it the mail!!! I have it proudly displayed on my desk where I can see it everyday.

I have to say that I sure was stuck in a rut that day but I realized that I do use my degree more than I think. I do some work for my mother-in-law and it requires that I use skills that I picked up in college – without that knowledge they would have no one to take care of those things or have to hire someone out for the work (I’m a lot cheaper…believe me!)

Anyway, I just wanted that little update to put out there

You're the Man Now, Dog!

(I am hoping this link shows up because I have been having issues with links on blogger)

http://bushbono.ytmnd.com/

The above link is to something someone posted on the website called “ytmnd” standing for “you’re the man now dog” which is from a line in a movie that Sean Connery says. Anyway, the site has become a place where people doctor up photos, audio and video and put them on here. Some are funny...some leave you in awe...some a just weird or gross. Well, I did a search on that website for Bono and found the above link. The photo doesn’t change but the audio is Pres Bush saying the ENTIRE song of Sunday Bloody Sunday! It is really well done! I actually listened to the whole thing and they even add in the things that Bono will sing when he performs the song live! This person must have a lot of time on their hands but it sure is well done!

Also, on an odd side note….isn’t it amazing that the President of the United States meets with Bono IN the Oval Office!!! I mean, the places and people Bono has seen and spoke to on behalf of those suffering from poverty and AIDS….what a man :)

Ghost in Sunnyvale Toys R Us?!?!?!

Well, it's all in the link I provided! lol!

I was going through some interesting facts on and came accross the article that the Toys R Us in Sunnyvale, CA is haunted LOL I have to say I have been in that store many times and haven't seen or heard or smelled anything (although I am not sure I have been down Asile 15c or whatever it is). I guess I need to ask my mom if she saw anything when we went shopping for Kian's Christmas gifts when she was here lol!

I just thought it was something odd to share....guess I won't be using the bathroom alone either since Johan follows women in there! LOL!
