What should the title of this post be?! Don't know.

Well, it is safe to say that I am not a great blogger. Hell all I have really posted is videos and how easy is that?! Haha. But I am trying to be inspired by Shawnte and her regular posting and I am going to try to be a little more pro-post.
I don't really know what it is that I am supposed to write right now, but I do feel the need to be in here and doing this, so I guess I am just going to ramble. I have recently become a member of Twitter (thanks a lot Shawnte) and while it is pretty useless as a webpage goes, I am already a little addicted to it! Just one more thing for me to check on. And I only have 3 followers so I really don't know what there is to check. HAhaha. Oh well.
I also feel the need to post about what I saw last night. I got to go on a date last night. It is very rare that K and I actually dress up and leave our valley for the bright lights of C'town, but last night we did! Whoo hoo!
We went to see the Feist concert. Man oh man it had to have been the most visually compelling concert I have even been to. I would have to say that I spent 85% of my time NOT watching Feist herself. You see, she was her whole show set up with shadows and projections and other such things lit up on the back syc of the stage. It was absolutely beautiful! 3 VERY talented people were runnign around the stage with mini spot lights and figures on wodden sticks and so on to make this beautiful light and shadow show that ran the enitre concert. They didn't stop. And when they weren't shadow-ing they had a little hand held camera that projected in black and white and they would focus on things like the strings of the piano, or the striker for the bass drum. It was amazing. It just goes to prove that music really is art and when the artist wants you to focus on something else rather than just looking at her, you can tell that she really wants you to HEAR hear music and not LOOK at what she is doing. She was projecting the images that she sees when she sings the songs. At least that's what I took from it and that was amazing.
I would tell you if you got the chance to see her concert in person, that you should definately go, unfortunately we in C'town had the rare opportunity to see the last show on what she called her 6 year tour. It had tears and laughter and she was a real person.
It was amazing.
I loved it.
Inspired.

Reclaiming Myself...The Demise of the Little Pink Pill.

I have have recently made a huge decision in my life. I have decided to reclaim who I am and stop taking the little pink pill that I have been taking daily for about 10+ years of my life. That's about 2850 pills I have swallowed (give or take a few) to dictate when my body is going to go through what is supposed to be a natural cycle.
Now let's not get all excited. I am NOT trying to get myself in the "bun in the oven" situation so neither of you are going to be aunts in the near future. Yes indeed I will become a slave to a neatly and sometime colorful foiled packed containg a lubricated, spermacide coated, latex condom.....Ugh. The Shoppers Drugmart people will still be getting money out of me in that department.
You may ask why I am making such a drastic life altering move. Well I will tell you because I think that just maybe you should know.

About 2 years ago I was watching a show about Cancer Causing agents. It was a Dateline thing... On that, along with Tide sticks and Mr. Clean counter wipes, the birth control pill used long term is a cancer causer. I know I know. Everything in the world causes cancer these days and if you drink too much ornage juice it will rot your teeth just as fast as Coke (true fact).
Anywas, I saw that show, thought about it a little bit and then never really thought about it again. Lately however, I have noticed some really big changes in my mood and my sex drive and in the back of my head I kept coming back to the pill as the deep underlying of these issues. So the other night ( a sleepless one), I got online and decided to research the side effects of long term use birth control.....(What the doctor doesn't tell you). There are all the ones that we do know about.....Blood Clots, Weight Gain, Acne and so on. Then way down there were these side effects. Severe depression and mood swings and loss of sexual drive and all sexual thoughts. And the loss of sexual drive is PERMANENT. Yep that's what it said. You don't regain it. Ever. (And it actually said EVER).

So there you go. I'm getting the hell out of Birth Control Dodge. And do you know what? I feel really good about it. So along with the condoms and the inevetable cramps what will take over my body every month I say, "Let me be free"!

Hahaha.

This has been a service announcement from you Kind Friend Sharon. Shoud there be a real emergency this message will be followed by detailed instructions on.....( I can't think of anything else whitty to say here).

Later!!

Rich Girl - Hall and Oates

So, I now love this song and while it is sung by Hall and Oats, it's much more enjoyable watching this guy lip-syncing it. (And he's a little more hot than those old other folks). Now if only Michael buble would sing it...or Harry Conick... Mmmmmm Harry.

Logdriver's Waltz

This one is for you Shawnte. I loved it on the CD and thought I should let us all have a watch.
